The Norton Army was rapidly approaching, only ten kilometers away from the nearest position of the Ice Blue City coalition forces, and the war was imminent.
The command tent became lively, with staff members whispering around the simulated sand table, and various intelligence personnel coming in and out.
Bai Yefenghua sat on the marching chair in the middle, facing the sand table in front, turning his head from time to time to exchange opinions with the staff around him.
"Judging from the direction of the enemy's attack, the first one to be hit is the Second Army on the southeastern front." "Let them prepare in advance and execute according to the plan." "Follow your orders!"
"Sir, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Seeing the commander holding a hot water bottle, a staff officer asked with concern.
"You have many things to do every day, please take care of yourself." Another staff officer also looked concerned.
"Thank you for your concern. I caught a cold last night, but it's nothing serious." Bai Ye Fenghua nodded in greeting.
"Sir..." The staff officers looked concerned, but hesitated to speak.
"Stop saying anything." Bai Ye Fenghua raised his hand to stop him, "The war is coming. I hope you all will not be distracted and focus on the work in front of you."
"yes!"
"The Norton Corps has advanced two kilometers and is still eight kilometers away from our front line. The estimated contact time is twenty-five minutes."
"The preparations for decoying the enemy are complete and everything is being executed as planned."
"Very good." Bai Yefenghua nodded and added, "The artillery coverage cannot be stopped."
"yes!"
"Report, it was discovered that the Five Nations Allied Forces led by Sikong Shengjie are about 35 kilometers away from our army's position!"
"Report, it was discovered that Shu Mu Bingchen's former Tianqin First Army was about forty kilometers away from our army's position!"
As the enemy troops approached, the atmosphere in the military tent became increasingly tense. Everyone had serious expressions on their faces, watching every move of the enemy troops on the sand table.
However, there is a person here who looks very out of place, like an apple mixed in a pile of pears, and is out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa and talking on the phone leisurely.
"Ah, is this the Prime Minister?" "It's me." "Ah, we feel extremely honored to receive the call from the Prime Minister!"
A slightly excited voice came from the other side of the black watch, the dean of Ice Lake Maid Academy and Honorary Countess Catherine.
"Sir, do you need anything when calling the Maid Academy?" Dean Catherine asked. She probably wanted to find some maids to go back on a whim, the Prime Minister.
"Starting from tomorrow, no, from now on, the Maid Academy is prohibited from being opened to the outside world." Chen Xing said loudly.
"Ah?" Catherine couldn't react, "It's forbidden to open to the public?"
"Yes, it is prohibited to open to the outside world." Chen Xing repeated.
"My lord, what you mean is..." Catherine still didn't understand.
"From now on, all the maids in the Maid Academy are mine." Chen Xing announced. The first step in establishing a harem is, of course, to monopolize the place where beauties are most concentrated.
"Ah!" Catherine was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.
After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Sir, the Maid Academy serves the entire aristocratic system of Ambergris River. If you monopolize it alone, I'm afraid it will cause chaos."
Chen Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems so..."
Directly depriving the nobles below of their rights would definitely lead to strong resistance.
"Then you think of a way for me. I want to collect beautiful girls from all over the world."
"This..." Catherine on the other side of the phone seemed a little hesitant.
"What, is it inconvenient?" Chen Xing's voice was a little deeper.
"Please allow me to think for a moment before you respond," Catherine said.
"Then go ahead and think about it and send me a voice message." After saying that, Chen Xing hung up the communication.
at the same time
, five kilometers away from the Ice Blue City Allied Forces Second Group Army position, the shouts were loud.
Countless men and women wearing body armor were running across the endless wilderness. They strode like galloping wild horses, the weeds under their feet were trampled to pieces, and the slightly wet soil was brought out of the ground by their hard military boots and swayed backwards.
The scene of hundreds of thousands of people running at the same time was extremely shocking.
Thousands of artillery shells screamed across the sky and hit the crowd on the ground.
"Crush them!" "Give them a taste of Norton's Iron Fist!"
A cannonball screamed and flew towards the strong man in front. The latter charged with his head buried in his arms, his arms clasped around his shoulders, and his swollen muscles bulged high, like a rampaging giant bear, ramming straight into the cannonball.
"boom!"
Flames soared into the sky, and the explosion was deafening, but a strong figure rushed out of the smoke, striding forward without any pause.
Looking closely, the strong man who collided head-on with the cannonball was unscathed except for an extra layer of black ash on his shoulders!
"Wow!" "The power of muscles!"
The strong man let out a deep roar and raised his arms at the same time, bending them at ninety degrees, showing off his extremely developed biceps.
"God of strength!" "The power of a bear!" "Long live the muscles!"
The muscular men and women behind him cheered loudly.
This is the strength of the Norton Legion, the muscle of the bear, the wildness of the bear.
The Iron Sisters aren't the only muscle admirers, the Nortons are one of them. The Norton people are mainly Caucasian, advocating muscles, doing national fitness, and injecting a large amount of muscle growth hormone and strength medicine, making their physical fitness extremely strong.
Different from the armies of other countries and regions, the first condition for being selected into the Norton Legion is that the strength must exceed fifty, otherwise even Prince Norton will not be eligible to join.
Throughout the history of Ambergris River, although the Principality of Norton was small in land area and population, it was the main force of the Kingdom's vanguard army.
The scene returned to the camp of the Ice Blue City coalition forces.
After more than ten minutes of thinking, Catherine, the dean of the Maid Academy, dialed the voice of the Prime Minister and put forward her own ideas.
"Women's Military Academy?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Catherine explained, "Kings in many countries have set up special women's officer schools to train female guards for themselves." Then she emphasized, "Essentially, it is the same as what your Excellency requires. , just another way of saying it.”
"How to get started?" Chen Xing asked.
"Well..." Catherine pondered for a while and asked, "Do you want me to tell the truth, Prime Minister?"
"Okay, I don't blame you if I make a mistake." Chen Xing said.
"Then I'll say it." Catherine confirmed again and said, "First of all, the Prime Minister is not the monarch yet, and it is easy to attract criticism if the school is located in the country."
"Secondly, the Prime Minister's request is to find suitable beautiful girls all over the world."
"Third, the location of the school must be safe enough."
"Based on the above three points, I suggest that the place to build the school should be Baixiang City in the central wilderness."
"What's the budget?" Chen Xing asked.
"My Majesty has made an estimate. The purchase of land, construction, and recruitment of students will cost at least 30 million gold coins."
"Hiss..." Chen Xing took a breath, "So many?"
The entire Ice Blue City's treasury only has tens of millions of gold coins, but it actually costs so much to build a school. Thirty million gold coins is converted into thirty billion soft girl coins. Could it be that he was being lied to?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing's voice deepened, "Dean Catherine, the budget you mentioned is so exaggerated, do you want to give me a soft nail and make me give up?"
"I don't dare." Catherine quickly explained, "Teachers can be selected from the maid academy, but the recruitment
Recruiting students..."
She paused for a while, thinking of words before continuing,
"As you know, we have to search for girls of the right age all over the world who meet the requirements for adults, and we have to convince them and their families to buy out their lives."
"If it's just a girl with average quality, it won't cost much, but I don't think adults will look down on her either."
"The adults are asking for beautiful girls. The price must be expensive, and the cost of training them is also a huge expense."
"This is just the initial cost. From now on, we will need a budget of at least 10 million gold coins every year."
"If you don't believe me, you can refer to the expenses of the Lizard City Guards Office, which is the Princess Guards of the North."
"As far as I know, there are less than 300 people in the Princess Guards, and their annual expenses exceed 20 million gold coins."
"Assuming that the first phase of the academy, based on five hundred students, the living expenses alone will already be several million gold coins."
"Girls are not like soldiers. They just have to eat. All meals must be nutritionally balanced and made with fresh ingredients. Only by providing the best diet can we cultivate students with the smoothest skin."
"In addition, we need evolution potion..."
"Stop, stop..." Chen Xing interrupted Catherine, "I already understand what you mean. It means I have no money and can't do it."
Catherine did not dare to answer and remained silent.
Gradually calming down, Chen Xing also realized that he was being too much. After all, he is just a high-level wage earner now. It is too early to say anything about expanding the harem.
Although Cuillis is completely obedient to him and probably won't object, the South has not yet been unified, and war requires money, so it is not the time to have fun.
After thinking about it, Chen Xing sighed, "You are right, I don't blame you."
"If your Excellency needs it, the academy can arrange it according to the standards of the Marquis." At this point, Catherine changed to a whispering tone, "I will leave the best maids in the academy with you and wait for your visit at any time. .”
Catherine's meaning is very clear. The best is reserved for the Prime Minister, and others can only choose the second-rate.
Of course Chen Xing understood it and immediately laughed, "Thank you in advance."
"It is my honor to serve you. Please come to the academy for inspection and guidance when you have time."
"Okay, come over when you have time."
When the communication is hung up, it is also the moment when the two armies engage in battle.
Chen Xing walked towards the tactical sand table with his hands behind his back, and the staff immediately made way.
"Hello, Prime Minister!" "Good afternoon, Prime Minister!"
When Bai Yefenghua saw Chen Xing coming to check, he immediately stood up to greet him. She didn't dare sit down while her boss was standing.
"How is the situation?" Chen Xing asked.
"Everything is going according to plan." Bai Yefenghua replied.
"How are you going to deal with the Muscle Legion?" Chen Xing asked. The impact of Norton's army is very strong, and it is difficult to resist in frontal combat.
"Use inducement tactics." Bai Yefenghua pointed to the battle site on the tactical sand table, "After an hour of fighting, the Second Army pretended to be defeated and evacuated towards Tianqin Fort."
"Then if this happens, won't there be a gap in our army's line?" Chen Xing asked curiously. But he knew that Bai Ye Fenghua would not make stupid mistakes, it must have been her plan.
"We will send the reserve team to the top, and the second legion will take Norton's group of strong-limbed and simple-minded guys to tour the scenery of Tianqin." Bai Yefenghua said with a smile.
"Flying a kite?" Chen Xing thought of the kite-flying tactic in online games, which involves dragging powerful monsters with low IQs around. To put it bluntly, it is to take the hard nut away from the battlefield, which is more trouble-free than destroying it directly.
"The Prime Minister's metaphor is very appropriate. It is a kite tactic." Bai Yefenghua clapped his hands in praise, and the staff also clapped their hands.
