I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Because the tortoise shell burst inexplicably, the ceremony on the third day of April became a pure joke.The great witch fell limp on the ground on the spot, trembling with fright.It goes without saying that the subordinates by the high platform were astonished, and soon there were guards who stepped forward, wanting to drag the great witch down for torture and interrogation.

At this time, Wei Xiao quickly calmed down, showing the demeanor of a general in the Northern Dynasty.He first ordered the guards to release the witcher, and someone took him down to comfort him.Then he rewarded the soldiers with fine wine, gold and silk, and called the officers to drink together on the high platform.After drinking for three rounds, Wei Xiao held up the gold cup and said something loudly:

"King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, and the divination of the rebellion was called a great ominous. Jiang Taigong pushed the yarrow into a tortoise, and declared: \"Dead bones and dead grass, how do you know how to be fierce!" So he sent troops to discuss business, and he defeated King Zhou. The matter of divination, But vain, how can good or bad be predicted? The two armies of the North and the South fought against each other, and the success or failure of the two armies, is it possible to predict the success or failure of a dry bone?"

Speaking of this, Wei Xiao looked around and raised his wine glass higher:

"Since the first year of Taiwu, the lord has worked hard at night, and the monarchs and ministers have worked together. After several years of fighting hard, there are finally 30 tiger and wolf divisions. In the Southern Dynasties, Wen Tian and Wu played, wars and disasters were frequent, and the fortunes were extremely declining. How could the day's army One blow? Now I am stationed in Jiangxia, and I have 12 elite soldiers under my command; the Southern Army has been severely injured by chaos for a long time, and its soldiers are no more than 12 to [-] soldiers. The final battle force is [-] versus [-], and the advantage lies with me!"

These words are analyzed in detail and into emotion and reason.Everyone at the scene swept away the haze and drank alcohol one after another to say yes.On that day, all the generals will have a banquet on the high platform and have fun.

·

On the fourth day of April, at midnight, under the cover of the dark night, a total of twelve drones set off from Jiangling, arrived at the Badong County Shipyard after flying for more than half an hour, and dropped six tons of high-explosive bombs one after another. □□.

The burning-egg filled with thermite and napalm was submerged into the calm river water, and the huge kinetic energy stirred up a water splash two to three meters high, which alarmed several guards who were on duty late at night. These sleepy guards yawned Throwing off the quilt, and just turning their heads to look out the window, they let out a shrill and terrifying scream—the high heat and strong light caused by thermite evaporated in an instant, burning their exposed skin and mucous membranes.

In just the first few seconds of heat released by the incendiary bombs, the skins of these sentinels were severely burned, and bright blisters burst out.They screamed and rolled all over the ground, but they were so stimulated by the strong light that they were so bloody and tearful that they couldn't open their eyes, so they could only shrink under the bed board and struggle bitterly.The cold air in early spring and the shelter of the earthen house still partially neutralized the terrifying heat, otherwise they would all be dehydrated by the high heat and turn into hideous and terrifying mummy...

In the first wave of thermite deflagration, centering on the landing site of the burning-egg, all the flowers, plants, tree trunks and even wooden materials within a radius of a thousand meters have all exploded and spontaneously ignited, giving birth to thousands of blazing flickering torches.Soon, the napalm and active metal complex stored in the bullet core were detonated by high temperature.Then the second round of combustion ensued, and a strong heat wave gushed out from the water surface, blasting the ultra-high temperature water vapor of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Different from the sound and light effects of the first wave of deflagration, the second round of burning is much more stable and hidden—in the first few seconds, only the turbulent thick fog evaporated from the water and spread all over the sky, but all Wherever they went, the rocks and iron cables burst and fell—the thermal expansion and contraction under the ultra-high temperature easily destroyed the solid structure.A few seconds later, amidst the crackling and cracking of the fire site, the sound of boiling water gradually sounded, and the boiling water bubbles could be vaguely seen undulating on the river surface.This tributary of the Yangtze River, which is tens of meters wide, has been boiled into boiling water by high temperature.

Under the catalysis of extreme heat, part of the water vapor rising in the air spontaneously decomposes, transforming a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen.But soon the hydrogen and oxygen combined in the air, and the power of the explosion set off tumbling waves.These tumbling waves sizzled in the air when they were cold, but they dropped countless fish and shrimps—these poor aquariums had been boiled by the boiling water in the river until their skin was crispy and their flesh was rotten, leaving only a knot in the air. Ferocious fish bones.

Although the guard was burned by the heat and was unable to move, the raging flames that dyed half of the sky red quickly attracted the attention of the people in Padang City.These high-ranking military officers are all battle-tested, but when they got close to the fire and looked at it for a while, their hands and feet were still weak and almost passed out-looking at the fire that was brighter than the sun, there was no way that there was even a little bit left in the shipyard!

There were a few unwilling generals who wanted to go deep into the fire to investigate carefully, but no matter how they whipped them, the horses they dismounted whined and wailed, and they still refused to take a step forward—even if they were hundreds of meters away from the river, the heat wave still persisted. It was so fierce that even war horses couldn't stand it.

Wei Xiao got off his horse, his face was as pale as rice paper.Someone next to him offered silk soaked in water, and he took it with his hand, covered his mouth and nose with wet head and face, and walked into the fire scene.

The raging flames pierced the sky and the earth, illuminating the surroundings brighter than daytime.And the convection of the air on the fire scene created violent strong winds, which gradually dispersed the thick water mist covering the surrounding fields.Wei Xiao stood at the height of the pier and looked down. What he saw were the broken and collapsed rocks and iron cables, as well as a little black wreck rolling in the surging river water—this was the only trace of the trees on the edge of the river. Hundreds of building ships have been completely burned up by the combination of high temperature, strong wind and explosion, and gradually turned into ash-like dark powder, dyeing the mist in the midair into a strange gray-black.

Wei Xiao slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

——These buildings and boats have been painstakingly managed by Guochao for several years, but now they are destroyed, how to explain the war? !

But before finishing the thought, he subconsciously frowned, and couldn't help but backed away again and again: what came to the wind was not only the choking dust and smoke, but also a stench that made people want to vomit - a large number of fish and shrimps were cooked in boiling water , this tributary has become a disgusting fish soup!

——At the beginning of the operation, the traverser team had considered humanitarian issues, and deliberately adjusted the release time to midnight when there were few people.Otherwise, if the incendiary bombs pour down, the river will be full of human broth...

Wei Xiao took a few steps back before he took the wet wipe and wet his mouth and nose again.He closed his eyes for a long time, and slowly asked:

"Where's the watchman's guard?"

The general on the left bowed and answered: "I found it by the pier, and I'm still rolling and screaming, as if I was burned."

"The guards didn't do enough to guard them, which made it possible for the traitor to set fire." Wei Xiao said flatly, "Cut."

The guard said yes.But after a while, the left and right guards brought up dozens of bloody heads.

Wei Xiao didn't even look at it. After staring at the fire scene for a while, he spoke directly again:

"The shipyard's sudden misfortune must have been caused by the Southern Army's spies. From now on, we will check the exchanges between the top and bottom, and we will be strict and secret during the interrogation. It is better to be in vain than to let go. The responsibility for negligence is first asked to the general. I will impeach myself. , I pray to the Lord to make a resolution, to atone for the unforgivable sin."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in astonishment, what's more, bowed their heads and shed tears, saying that they were panicked, and urged the governor not to take it to himself.But amidst all the persuasion, the generals knew clearly: the unprecedented ferocious fire in this shipyard could not be explained by arson.But now that the decisive battle between the north and the south is imminent, the responsibility can only be shifted to the soldiers and spies who cannot argue.As for self-impeachment and pleading guilty... With the powerful Austrian support behind the general, it would not be a serious problem.

Everyone's voices of persuasion came one after another, but Wei Xiao looked up at the raging flames on the river, but there was no fluctuation in his expression.Only his confidant guards were the closest, and he heard the lord muttering to himself:

"...In the end, it's still 12 vs. [-]. The advantage lies with me!"

After the successful completion of the bombing of the shipyard, the crossing team in Jiangling City was quite excited. Fortunately, they moved the jack in fours and twos, and the mast and scull were wiped out in smoke while talking and laughing.Today's achievement should not be under the Red Cliff.

But soon Mu Chen realized something was wrong.He summoned the system to inquire about the news, but he neither saw the change in the situation between the north and the south, nor received the task settlement points.

The decisive battle between the north and the south is an extremely important main line in the book, and there should be considerable points rewards after the intervention.Since redeeming the temporary travel permission, Muchen's points have been hovering in single digits.If there is no such wave of points to continue, that would be a big deal!

This really stabbed the weakness of the traversers.However, the system remembered the past, no matter how much Mu Chen pressed him repeatedly, he kept his mouth shut and refused to say a word.After two or three days of seeing each other like this, the traversers learned the reason from the letter of persuasion distributed by the Northern Army:

Next to them is the underdog Zhang Lu, the ambitious and insatiable Jingzhou prefect Zhao Zhi, who has already voted.

After hearing the news, Xiang Liang, Wang Zhi and others were shocked, and immediately sent someone to question Guo Zhao, and got the most complete cause and effect—before the Northern Army sent people to surrender Zhao Zhi, but the prefect Zhao said nothing. Eight thousand raw silk and one thousand catties of gold, the price difference between the two parties was too great, and the negotiations broke up unhappy.Now that the surrender has come so quickly, it is estimated that the Northern Army has increased the money.

This news can be said to have shocked the whole family of the traverser - I thought the prefect of Jingzhou was just sitting on the sidelines to reap the benefits, but in the final analysis he was an evil politician with a bit of ambition; I didn't expect that the rank was so low, and the pattern was limited to such a low ratio thing!

But the low ratio is the low ratio, and this backstab by the inner ghost Zhao Taishou dealt an unexpected blow to the traverser.The northern army spent a lot of time preparing the building ships, originally to guard against the attack of the navy of the Southern Dynasty; but now that Jingzhou has surrendered and the navy has become an allied army, why does the northern army need to think about water warfare?They could recruit Jingzhou civilian ships and come across the river calmly.

——In other words, the strategic significance of throwing burning-eggs has been reduced by half!

Under such a situation, the traversers had to hold meetings repeatedly to discuss the next coping strategy.During the period, someone spoke, suggesting that the warships in Jingzhou should also be set on fire.But after repeated reconnaissance, this motion was reluctantly abandoned—the prefect of Jingzhou was cruel and tyrannical, and all the boats under his command were driven by fishermen to drive and maintain them. Any carelessness would be severely punished; if you set fire at will, it would only poison the civilians.

After many discussions.At the ninth meeting in the early morning of the fourth day, Xiang Liang finally stood up from his seat and made a concise speech.

"Ingenious tactics are not the right way after all." He said calmly: "Since avoidance is inevitable, let us face it head-on!"

·

"It's already inevitable!"

Li Ziwen wrote this record in his notebook, couldn't help but put down the pen again, and sighed softly.

This is the conclusion of the departmental joint meeting a few days ago.When making this conclusion, the leaders of the central foreign affairs department showed an unprecedented seriousness, and rarely repeated it three times.

Of course, there is a reason for this statement... To put it simply, after dozens of days of diplomatic attacks and defenses, the powerful country on the other side of the Pacific finally refused to endure it, and clearly expressed its desire to turn the tables during the talks.

It has been dozens of days since the signal incident, and after dozens of days of vigilance and fear, all countries have gradually relaxed their vigilance.The news from various intelligence channels is intricate, but most of them prove the same consensus: the Mr. Mu behind the signal incident does not seem to have any aggressiveness beyond the bottom line of human morality.Everyone is safe.

——Since everyone is safe, it seems that it is not impossible to take the opportunity to do something.

The central government is fully aware of the mentality of the Yankees, and even more aware of how much risk the Yankees can take for their own interests.But after careful consideration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still sternly rejected Yankee's request to share Mu Chen's statement during the talks, and frankly expressed an attitude of never retreating.

After the negotiations broke down, the foreign affairs department convened a meeting overnight to communicate.Therefore, there is this key point that Li Ziwen still remembers.

Yankee's revenge came quickly. Forty hours ago, a certain report that was said to have been stolen from the Yankee defense department by hackers appeared on an anonymous website.In this report, Yankee agents spoke convincingly, claiming that the Eastern Powers had come into contact with some mysterious existence and obtained some precious antiques from them, which are now stored in several universities. 33 Novel Network

The report was deleted within 10 minutes, but news of it quickly circulated online, causing a small firestorm.Most netizens would not be entirely convinced, but they were aroused by the report—the report almost named Jingshi University and Shuimu University by name.Coincidentally, the history schools of these two universities happened to have some unexplainable changes recently...

Of course, this kind of doubt is not enough to cause anything.But Li Ziwen and others are well aware that this is an implicit threat from the Yankees - if they continue to refuse to negotiate, more and more uncontrollable news will be released continuously, until panic and fluctuations in social sentiment are born until.

So far, Yankee Nation has been extremely vague on the matter, merely condemning the unknown hacker but refusing to explain anything about the document itself.This attitude is ambiguous and hesitant, clearly wanting to kick the ball to the East.But the East, the East...

Li Ziwen sighed again, reached out and turned on the TV.

It was the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on TV.After a few usual questions, a reporter finally raised his hand and asked the Foreign Office's opinion on the leaked Yankee documents.

Since yesterday morning, this issue has been kicked around in press conferences held by the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and even the Ministry of Education. As usual, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also give it a kick.But the spokesperson hesitated for a moment, but went straight to the manuscript.

Li Ziwen was slightly taken aback: Is this going to answer directly?

But how to answer?This question is purely a dilemma—in order to control the situation, they cannot admit it; if they directly deny it, they are likely to be slapped in the face by the evidence released by the Yankees and destroy their credibility... Although it is really ugly to repeatedly evade, how can this matter be answered?

He subconsciously straightened up.

The spokesperson glanced at the manuscript, and then showed a professional smile.

"I'm happy to answer this question." She said slowly: Regarding this question, my answer is as follows - as far as we know, there are 'known known', some things, we know we know; we also know, There are 'known unknowns', that is, there are things we now know we don't know.However, there are also 'unknown unknowns' - some things we don't know we don't know.As for the question, it is not clear whether it is 'known known', 'known unknown' or 'unknown unknown'. "

The reporter opened his mouth wide.
