Chapter 1037 It's None of Our Business to Let Him Die
Wu Mei raised the condition of moving back, which was exactly what Chen Fang wanted, but just when he was planning to reuse his old trick and was about to pester Jimo and Wenren, bad news came from the southern border, which disrupted his plan.
He had just separated from Youmei one moment ago, and was on his way to find Jimo and Wenren the next moment when he was called to the political affairs hall.
All the high-level officials in Nirvana City were present, and Gong Xiaobai was at the top, presiding over the meeting charmingly.
"The wild orcs from the southern border and the demon tribe joined forces to besiege the human imperial court. Gong Fang sent someone to ask for help. Shall we go and rescue them?"
This kind of thing happened, both expected and unexpected.
The current situation where the human race in the southern border is under siege has already been discovered earlier, and this is expected.
What is more surprising is that Gong Fang actually sent someone to ask for help.
As for whether to save or not, Nirvana City is divided into two factions.
One faction advocates no rescue, while the other advocates rescue.
The former are numerous and the latter are few.
"What kind of face does he have? He still wants us to save him. Your Highness, I don't think it should be ignored."
Many subordinates who followed Gong Xiaobai raised objections.
The two sides have enmity, and there is something wrong with saving the enemy from fire and water.
"That's true, but if you don't save them, the human race in the southern border will become slaves to the demons and wild beastmen, and if the southern border is not restrained by the human royal court, the wild beastmen will definitely gather their troops and come to find us in Nirvana City." trouble."
This is the reason for those who advocate rescue. Their vision is relatively long-term, and the opinions they put forward are quite reasonable.
Yu Mei and Jimo belonged to the faction that sent troops to rescue them.
But the reasons of the faction that advocated salvation were not accepted by the faction that did not save.
At the meeting, the two factions argued endlessly, and no one could convince the other, and they fell into a stalemate.
Gong Xiaobai sat on the main seat with a troubled expression on his face.
If there was only the human imperial court under the control of Gong Fang in the southern border, he would never think about saving it.
But the problem is that there are still millions of civilians in the southern border. If they are not rescued, these civilians will become slaves of the wild orcs and the demons.
And in the long run, once the imperial court in the southern border falls and the human race becomes slaves, the wild orcs without restraint will definitely use the unyielding city as a springboard to send troops to the fertile plains, and then Nirvana city will also face the flames of war.
But to send troops is like not saving the faction to refute the reasons for rescue.
The current strength of Nirvana City is only 50,000, so how can it be enough to face the combined army of the two races who does not know how many times stronger.
Even if the soldiers are recruited temporarily, let alone how good the combat effectiveness is without training, and whether the equipment can be supplied in a short period of time, let's talk about how many soldiers can be recruited with a population of only a few hundred thousand in Nirvana City.
There is no one with hundreds of thousands of troops, and if there are too many or too few, they are all to deliver food, which is simply doing useless work.
The distressed Gong Xiaobai was quarreled by the two factions, and finally turned his attention to Chen Fang who had been silent from the beginning and only looked at Jimo and Wen Ren.
"Marshal Chen, do you think we should save him or not?"
On formal occasions, under Chen Fang's request, Gong Xiaobai no longer called "Uncle", but "Marshal".
At this time, Chen Fang's eyes were wandering on Jimo and Wenren, his mind was full of thinking about how to get them to move back, he was not paying attention to the meeting at all, he didn't hear Gong Xiaobai's question at all.
Gong Xiaobai yelled a few more times, and the other people in the meeting hall fell silent, but Chen Fang still didn't respond.
In the end, Lu Yichuan, who couldn't stand it any longer, pushed Chen Fang aside.
"Marshal, His Highness asked you something."
After being pushed, Chen Fang came back to his senses, and then looked at Lu Yichuan blankly.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yichuan was speechless, and repeated it again.
"His Highness asked you something."
That is to say, after staying under Chen Fang for a while, he learned a lot of leading and commanding skills, and he admired and changed Chen Fang. If it was before, Lu Yichuan would not have reminded Chen Fang.
"oh."
Chen Fang responded, turned his gaze to Gong Xiaobai, and asked in a casual tone.
"Ask me what?"
Such a casual attitude caused dissatisfaction among many officials in Nirvana City. They felt that Chen Fang was not big or small, and that he was disrespectful to Gong Xiaobai. They all glared at him, but they dared not speak out.
There is no way, Nirvana City can be today, it can be said that it is all thanks to Chen Fang, and now he is having an affair with the mother of his highness, which is an existence that cannot be provoked.
And the few people who have the guts to talk about Chen Fang, such as Wu Yaoyan, Yu Mei, Jimo, and Wen Ren, just gave him a blank look.
Gong Xiaobai looked helpless, and repeated what he had asked countless times.
"Can't you save it? You've been arguing for so long because of this? You're making a fuss." Chen Fang said disgustedly.
"Marshal, how can you say that we are making a fuss, this is a big issue, and everyone is discussing it seriously." A senior official of Nirvana City stood up and said angrily.
Chen Fang curled his lips and said in a disdainful tone: "The discussion has been fruitless for a long time. No one can convince anyone, so they are louder than anyone else. They didn't even mention the most core issue. It's not what the trouble is."
"Master, if you just say that..."
The official spoke up to argue, but was interrupted impatiently by Chen Fang.
"Sit down and listen to me."
While speaking, Chen Fang stared at the official, and he opened his mouth in satisfaction after seeing the official sit down unwillingly intimidated by his majesty.
"I said that when you are thinking about things, can you stop thinking about things and think about them from a different angle."
"I don't need to think about whether to save him or not. It's none of our business whether he let him die or not."
"What we want to think about is whether to go or not. If we want to go, we must understand what we can get if we go, and then focus on this point, and think about how to do it; if we don't go, then we need to understand what we will lose. .”
Hearing these words, many people present didn't quite understand what Chen Fang meant, only a few looked thoughtful.
Seeing that Chen Fang understood what he said so clearly, many people still looked at a loss and were a little speechless.
Yazi, who is not very good at this senior team.
"You have to understand a very simple and naked truth. All wars revolve around two points. One is to protect one's own interests, and the other is to plunder other people's resources."
"The wild orcs and demons in the southern border are besieging the human race. They are aiming at plundering the wealth of the human race in the southern border."
"Gong Fang saw what we would face in the future if we didn't help him, so he came to us with the cheek to ask for help, and wanted us to be used as gunmen to protect his interests."
"You have been focusing on the matter of letting him ask for help from the palace. Whether you go or not, you will be led by the nose of the matter itself. Any decision you make will not bring benefits to Nirvana City."
"So we're going to step out and look and pull things into our own rhythm."
Jump out and bring your own rhythm?
The officials at the meeting understood a little this time, and each of them began to meditate.
Chen Fang let them think about it, and he couldn't explain everything clearly, otherwise he would be asked for advice on any major issues in the future, wouldn't it be that many brain cells would die.
