Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

"Xiao Hao!"

Young Master Chu looked at his blood cousin and said seriously, "Tomorrow will be the first real battle in your life.

"I know, bro."

Zhang Hao met Master Chu's gaze with a firm look: "This is an important step for me to become a real soldier. I won't let you down."

"I won't go into the rest."

Young Master Chu nodded slightly, his expression eased a little, his eyes full of expectation, and he said:

“Remember, on the battlefield, every step must be taken carefully, and every decision may affect life or death.

You are no longer that carefree teenager, you are now an officer with great responsibility."

"Ah."

Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and from the corner of his eye he saw the ashtray full of cigarette butts on Mr. Chu's desk, and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you under a lot of pressure?"

“There’s pressure everywhere.”

Young Master Chu smiled and said, "I chose this path myself. I will go on even if I grit my teeth."

"I understand."

Zhang Hao slowly saluted in a standard military salute, then turned and left.

Seeing him walk away, Young Master Chu returned his gaze to the map of the Ryukyu Islands on the display screen. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and silently said in his heart:

"Tomorrow, no matter what the result is, I will have no regrets. Because I have tried my best and I have done my best."

……

Beijing.

The lanterns are on.

Inside Chu Wanjiang's courtyard.

Except for the two third-generation men who joined the army, the entire Chu family gathered here.

In the restaurant.

Chu Wanjiang picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down with a slurp, then put the glass down and looked around with a gentle yet somewhat majestic look.

His eyes moved between each family member, finally stopping on Qin Qing and Chu Yunxi, with a kind smile on his face.

"It's not easy for a family to get together. Today, I want to say something from my heart." The old man's voice was gentle and affectionate, making people involuntarily quiet down and listen to his every word.

"The wind rises and the clouds fly, my power spreads across the country and I return to my hometown."

He quoted an ancient poem, full of emotion. "We, Chu Wanjiang, have gone through wind and rain, and have always maintained our tenacity and perseverance. No matter how dangerous the battlefield or officialdom is, I have never given up."

Then, Mr. Chu looked at his son and son-in-law with some disdain, and continued:

“It’s a pity that Yun Yang and Dajun were born as civilian officials and did not inherit my legacy. Although they have achieved some success, I still feel regretful.

"Fortunately, our three generations of children are all very good."

The old man's eyes were full of pride, and his voice became a little higher: "As the saying goes, brothers are like brothers in war. Yuchen and Xiaohao are both worthy of being my grandsons. One is in the rear, serving as the commander-in-chief, commanding the three armies; the other is the vanguard, charging into battle, and will be the first to capture the island tomorrow. They are both good men of my Great Xia."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the whole restaurant became extremely quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong unconsciously held hands.

Chu Yunxi and Qin Qing looked at each other, looking a little panicked: "Dad, what do you mean by pioneer, the first person to capture the island?"

"Yeah, how come I don't know anything about it?"

Chu Yunyang frowned, looking puzzled, and followed his sister and asked, "My godfather told me that Yuchen returned to Beijing last night and promised him that he would not confront Yingjiang Bingyi.

Could it be that this brat is going to play tricks again, saying that a general is not subject to the king's orders when he is away from home? "

In the restaurant, everyone looked at the old man nervously, waiting for his answer.

The old man coughed lightly and said slowly: "This is a long story, just listen to me."

Everyone nodded and listened quietly to the old man's account of what happened.

The old man recounted exactly what Young Master Chu had told him on the phone this afternoon, and then said with a serious face:

"I tell you all this so that you know clearly that it is only natural and reasonable for the men of the Chu family to fight for their country.

You are supporting, not hindering.”

"Dad, the other party is Eagle Sauce, why would Yuchen assign such a dangerous mission to Xiaohao?"

A faint mist appeared in Chu Yunxi's beautiful eyes. She looked at the old man with some resentment, and there was a hint of complaint towards her eldest nephew in her tone.

"A loving mother often loses her son!"

The old man glared and said sternly:

"Yun Xi, what do you mean?

What is the duty of a soldier? To defend the country, the people, and the homeland! As a soldier, Xiaohao has the obligation and responsibility to complete the tasks assigned by the country, even if it means taking greater risks.

What's more, Xiaohao is already an adult man with his own thoughts and judgments. He chose to accept this task, which shows that he has the ability and determination. You should be proud of him instead of complaining.

Xiaohao, if you want to take charge of the three armies for your brother, you must demonstrate your combat achievements and convince the others.

If Yu Chen had not had the record of attacking Lan Hai and Ying Jiang's doorsteps alone, he would not have been able to win the hearts and minds of the troops even if he had come up with the entire Blue Sky Gate plan.

Soldiers only obey the strong.

The strong ones are made through fighting."

Chu Yunxi was choked by the old man's words and was speechless. She lowered her head, feeling mixed emotions.

"Say it again!"

The old man looked at the confusion in his beloved daughter's eyes, and his tone softened a bit, and he explained patiently:

“Besides, Xiao Hao is driving the Ares tank, which is the White Emperor fighter plane on land, the invincible king, impeccable in both attack and defense.

Yuchen is giving him credit, you should be grateful instead of complaining."

"Dad, Yun Xi is just too concerned."

Qin Qing reached out and gently patted her sister-in-law's hand, giving her a warm and firm look to show her understanding. Then, she turned her head with a smile, looked at the old man with a soft gaze, and said in a sincere tone.

"Grandpa, is this war inevitable?" Bai Xiaolu raised her head, her clear eyes filled with tension and worry. She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to suppress her inner anxiety.

"You should know Yuchen's character better than I do. Once she makes up her mind, she won't change it easily. We don't need to doubt this."

The old man's voice was calm and firm:

"I have absolute confidence in Yu Chen. Even if a war really breaks out, the victorious side will only be Da Xia." His tone was firm as iron and full of power.
