Qin Xiao still remembered the way Sun Dianchen scratched his head just now. It was obviously because he was troubled by something.
But he couldn't understand why there was anything to worry about in the face of such good news.
After a moment of silence, Sun Dianchen said with a wry smile: "I never expected Zhao Lin to have such great energy and courage."
"so?"
"His original plan was completely overturned, and he had to make a new battle plan to avoid wasting so many resources." Sun Dianchen continued to explain.
Qin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that Sun Dianchen was experiencing the troubles of happiness just now.
"Have you never fought such a rich battle?" Qin Xiao subconsciously joked with Sun Dianchen.
Sun Dianchen glared at him with the air of an old general, but soon he started laughing.
Qin Xiao was right, Sun Dianchen had never experienced such abundant war resources.
This is no longer the case where the soldiers and horses have not moved forward but the food and grass have gone first. This is clearly the case where the "grain depot" has gone first.
"You are very good, really." Sun Dianchen patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and then asked: "Why did you want Zhao Lin to join me in the first place?"
In the final analysis, Zhao Lin's ability to join Sun Dianchen's camp was all due to Qin Xiao's promotion.
Without Zhao Lin, although Sun Dianchen's plan would not be successful, the progress would definitely be greatly delayed.
But strictly speaking, this plan is all about speed. If the implementation speed is delayed again and again, there is a high probability that it will eventually fail.
Facing Sun Dianchen's probing eyes, Qin Xiao pretended to be profound and said: "Everything is an arrangement of fate."
Sun Dianchen almost vomited out his blood. He glared at Qin Xiao angrily, but in the end he resisted the idea of beating Qin Xiao violently.
He put away the information chip and then said: "According to Zhao Lin's plan, all the Zhao family's properties can be transferred within a month. In my opinion, the hunting plan should be stopped in advance."
The hunting plan that Sun Dianchen mentioned was naturally not the one he originally proposed, but the "new" hunting plan that Qin Xiao made before returning to Elan Star.
"Why stop?" Qin Xiao asked confused.
"As long as Zhao Lin completes the transfer work, I won't have to talk to Dezan anymore..."
Speaking of this, Sun Dianchen suddenly paused, adjusted his thoughts and then continued: "I can hold on for a month, and then I can officially send the army to land on Xiqiang Star."
After listening to Sun Dianchen's arrangement, Qin Xiao never spoke.
"What? You don't agree with my arrangement?" Sun Dianchen saw Qin Xiao's attitude and asked.
Qin Xiao did not hide anything. He nodded directly and said: "I think the hunting plan must be implemented and implemented with greater intensity."
Sun Dianchen frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Because our next opponent is the Tianluo Empire, and this time it will be a full-scale war." Qin Xiao said with a serious face.
"Yes, just because the upcoming war is too dangerous, why are mercenaries still allowed to go to the battlefield?" Sun Dianchen asked more and more puzzled.
In Sun Dianchen's opinion, war is a matter for the regular army.
Although there are a large number of mercenaries in the Tianluo Empire, and their overall strength is not bad, this part of the combat power has never been considered by Sun Dianchen.
But Qin Xiao's view on this matter was completely opposite to that of Sun Dianchen. He directly asked: "Why can't mercenaries go to the battlefield?"
Sun Dianchen smiled. In his opinion, Qin Xiao was still too young.
The fighting methods of mercenaries and regular armies are completely different. Mercenaries are good at small-scale combat, but real wars are more about duels between large groups.
Although after breaking down the battle situation, you will find that any major war is composed of countless small-scale battles, but there are essential differences between them.
Considering that Qin Xiao was still a young man under the age of twenty, Sun Dianchen did not laugh at him, but was prepared to explain the reason to Qin Xiao.
Before Sun Dianchen could start to explain, Qin Xiao blocked everything he wanted to say next in one sentence.
"If the Xingji Empire is gone, can these mercenaries be able to survive alone?" Qin Xiao asked.
Sun Dianchen was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Qin Xiao was not making excuses, he shook his head and said, "There is a high probability that it will not work."
"It's not a high probability that it won't work, but it definitely won't work!" Qin Xiao said loudly.
"If Xiqiang Star is breached, the eastern theater of the Xingji Empire will completely lose its outer battlefield."
"By then, the Tianluo Empire's interstellar battleships will head straight towards Elan."
"The flames of war will burn directly to Elam and even spread directly to other first-class stars in Upu Star Province."
"By then, the entire eastern theater will be reduced to a battlefield. Will the mercenaries still be allowed to freely choose whether to fight for the Xingji Empire at that time?"
Listening to Qin Xiao's words, Sun Dianchen shook his head repeatedly: "The matter hasn't developed to this point yet, so don't think about it so much."
Seeing that Sun Dianchen could not be moved, Qin Xiao simply stopped arguing.
He suddenly stood up and said domineeringly: "I am now fully responsible for the mercenary plan, and all resources are provided by the Zhao family. This matter has nothing to do with the military."
"Qin Xiao!" Sun Dianchen was furious. He also stood up and said, "Do you know how many people will be killed by such nonsense?"
"There is no war without death." Qin Xiao said expressionlessly.
"Bastard!" Sun Dianchen suddenly raised his hand, but in the end he did not let it fall.
"Young man, war is not a child's play. You can't do things based on your preferences." Sun Dianchen advised earnestly.
He has always been optimistic about Qin Xiao and does not want Qin Xiao to be complacent just because he has made some achievements.
If mercenaries are forced onto the battlefield, the turmoil it may cause is completely inestimable.
Of course Qin Xiao knew that Sun Dianchen had good intentions. Although mercenaries were indeed an important fighting force, they might be counterattacked if they were not used properly.
But now it has reached an extraordinary moment. How can it be possible to block the Tianluo Empire strongly without extraordinary means.
Sun Dianchen is indeed an excellent general, but he is not a commander who can coordinate the overall situation.
In the end, the old general still fell short when it came to making important decisions.
This is why Sun Dianchen, despite his great military exploits, can only serve as a subordinate to General Dezan.
The war is not just about the combat strength and logistical supplies of the corps, but also the situation.
Judging from the current situation in the eastern theater, the deployment of mercenary combat power is an extremely important move.
It should even be said that this is a move that must be made!
When Qin Xiao initially wanted to restart the hunting plan, he was only worried that the Tianluo Empire would break its promise and launch a general offensive in advance.
But after the drama of purging the Zhou family occurred on Elan, in Qin Xiao's view, the hunting plan turned from the icing on the cake to a timely help.
Seeing that Sun Dianchen was still unwilling to agree with his idea, Qin Xiao finally spoke out what was in his heart.
"General Sun, do you want to defend Xiqiang Star?"
