Chapter 1248 Helpless
Jiangcheng was invaded by the descendants of the gods, and the entire city was taken hostage. This was something that Nirvana City did not expect.
And the other party also proposed such and such harsh conditions, which is unacceptable.
The ungrateful god-descendants made everyone in Nirvana City angry, and their despicable and shameless behavior made the people in Nirvana City even more excited.
Wanting to attack them, but hindering the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangcheng, people are wary of them, and Nirvana City is in a dilemma.
Office meeting room.
All the high-level leaders of Nirvana City gathered together to discuss countermeasures. After intense discussions, the meeting room was divided into two factions.
One faction advocates sending troops to crusade, while the other faction opposes sending troops, demanding to take the overall situation into account and agree to the request of the god-descendant race.
The main station group is mainly military generals headed by the capital, and the main forbearance group is mainly government officials such as Lewis.
The two factions, one martial and one literary, are clearly distinct, and each has its own propositions and reasons.
"Fight, we must fight. If we don't fight, anyone who can look down on our Nirvana City in the future will think we are easy to bully."
"Believe it or not, if we don't fight this time, the God-descendants will definitely make progress in the future."
Dusi's growling voice echoed in the conference room.
He didn't like to speak loudly, but at this moment he was so angry that he had to speak loudly.
"I object."
Lewis immediately stood up to refute after Du Si's voice fell.
"The gods said that if we send troops, they will kill people. Those citizens of Jiangcheng are so innocent. Do you want them to die?" Lewis asked.
Dusi was speechless for a moment.
Lewis said to Gong Xiaobai who was sitting at the top: "Your Highness, this soldier cannot be sent out. Once sent out, the gods will kill people. Once they die, we will have a bad reputation of disregarding the lives of the people in the city. Now in Nirvana City People are already in a state of panic, but if we send troops to Jiangcheng and force the descendants of the gods to kill people, then I am afraid that the people in the city under our rule will have prejudice against us."
Du Si said angrily: "It's better to have prejudices than to accept those conditions. Tell me, we can accept those conditions they put forward."
"Whether it's acknowledging that Jiangcheng belongs to them, or helping them fight the southern border in the future, is this acceptable?"
Lewis opened his mouth and really had nothing to say. In fact, he himself felt that he couldn't accept it, but there was no way. The gods held not one hundred and two hundred lives, but hundreds of thousands of lives. This is not a joke.
Gong Xiaobai, who was at the top, heard their quarrel, and his mind was about to explode.
This time the incident simply put him in a dilemma and forced him into a dilemma.
It is certainly possible to send troops without compromise and use force to maintain the dignity of Nirvana City, but doing so is tantamount to giving up hundreds of thousands of lives, which will change the city residents' perception of the upper class, and allies will also adjust their diplomatic attitudes towards Nirvana City.
Think about it, is it ruthless to give up the power of hundreds of thousands of lives at once, of course it is ruthless, and it can be said to be unscrupulous.
Whether those who live under the influence will have the idea of precariousness, they will certainly, and whether the allies will feel unsafe, of course it goes without saying.
However, if you don’t send troops to agree to the conditions of the gods and make a compromise, the impact will not be good. At least after Nirvana City, people will feel that they are easy to bully. Sweetness, but continue to push forward.
At that time, if more unacceptable conditions are proposed, will Nirvana City agree again?
It's impossible to send troops, and it's impossible to agree to the conditions. In this case, Gong Xiaobai can't make a choice at all.
"It would be great if uncle was here, he must have a solution." Gong Xiaobai groaned with a headache.
Because many of the difficulties that Nirvana City has experienced before are due to Chen Fang's efforts to turn the tide, Gong Xiaobai now has a kind of blind confidence and dependence on Chen Fang.
But Chen Fang is not here now, and he doesn't know where he went.
"Your Highness, please make a quick decision. The Goddess only gave us three days to consider. If we don't reply when the time comes, they will kill a thousand people every day." Lewis said.
"bump."
Lu Yichuan from Yuhui slapped the table angrily, "It's too deceitful. You shouldn't have rescued the god-born people in the first place, but let them be wiped out by the demon-born people."
The behavior of the gods and the snakes caused everyone in the conference room to be filled with righteous indignation and cursed one after another.
"Quiet."
Seeing the chaos in the conference room, Wu Mei sternly stopped everyone, and then everyone calmed down.
Then she looked at Gong Xiaobai and asked him to speak.
But Gong Xiaobai didn't know what to say, so Ba blinked his eyes and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Mei Mei sighed in disappointment, then turned her head to Dusi and Lewis and said, "What you said is all reasonable, but there are also big problems."
"Whether it is sending troops or compromising, it is not the right choice for us. Whether it is sending troops or compromising, it will inevitably leave a huge hidden danger for Nirvana City."
"Everyone should think about whether there is any other way."
Someone stood up and said, "Why don't we send an envoy to negotiate terms with the gods, such as agreeing to hand over Jiangcheng to them, as long as he returns the citizens of Jiangcheng."
Listen to the tone, this person is a member of the Lord Forbearance Sect.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately mocked: "You think they are as stupid as you."
The man in front said angrily, "Why do you call me stupid?"
The man at the back sneered and said, "Why do the god-descendants make us so difficult? It's not just the citizens of Jiangcheng. If it weren't for these citizens, you think we would still be sitting here today, and the fight would have been over long ago."
Only then did the person in front realize what he had said just now, and sat down in shame.
Then the people of the Lord sent troops stood up.
"I think it's good to call directly. I still don't believe it. They god-descendants really dare to kill people."
"Hehe, they have all avenged their vengeance, so there's nothing they dare to do." The compromiser sneered.
Uh, that's right, the gods are so despicable and shameless, there is nothing they can't do.
The people from the main sending troops also blushed and sat down.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?"
Everyone turned their attention to Gong Xiaobai and Yu Mei.
Seeing charming, everyone turned their gazes to her again, showing disappointment unabashedly.
"After I got the news, I immediately sent someone to negotiate with them, but the other party killed him, refused to accept the negotiation at all, and even sent him back with serious injuries, so don't talk about the negotiation."
"And now His Highness wants you to give advice, instead of you waiting for us to give advice. If this is the case, what's the use of you."
Charming glanced coldly at the people in the conference room, and everyone lowered their heads under her gaze.
"What a bunch of trash, so many people can't even think of a way."
Seeing that no one in the meeting room had any ideas, Mei Mei acted like an ostrich, she was so angry that she couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart.
After saying this, Yu Mei immediately felt that she had lost her composure, but when she saw the silence of the people below, she was angry at her incompetence, and her anger rose again, so she scolded everyone regardless.
As a result, everyone who was scolded couldn't lift their heads up, and they didn't dare to make a sound. Finally, the charming and cursing stopped, and the conference room fell into silence.
Charming leaned on the chair irritably, feeling extremely disappointed with the high-level people in her heart.
If only Chen Fang was here, he would definitely be able to think of a way.
At this moment, she had the same thought as Gong Xiaobai.
The conference room spent a while in silence like this.
In the end, Gong Xiaobai saw that he really couldn't think of any solution today, so he asked everyone to go back and think about a solution, and then announced the end of the meeting.
After the people left, Gong Xiaobai and Yu Mei were left in the conference room.
"Auntie, where did Uncle go, why hasn't he come back?" Gong Xiaobai sighed.
Charming rubbed her aching head, glared at Gong Xiaobai, and said: "Don't you know how to find a way by yourself? Whenever something happens, you want your uncle to solve it. How can you take care of yourself in the future?"
Gong Xiaobai said aggrievedly: "This time other people can't do anything, even you can't do anything, then I can't do anything, can't I?"
This kind of frustrated and incompetent words, usually charming and sure to teach Gong Xiaobai a lesson, but this time she is really not in the mood, and instead asks: "Have the people sent out before sent back any news about Jimo and Wenren?"
Jiangcheng was invaded, and Jimo and Wenren must be arrested. Naturally, Meimei will not let them be in the hands of the enemy. Hundreds of thousands of people cannot be rescued, but it should be much easier to save the two of them, so Meimei asked Gong Xiaobai immediately. Send someone to rescue them.
Gong Xiaobai shook his head: "No, they can't even get into Chengdou now, so they have no way of knowing the situation of Sister Jimo and Sister Wenren."
Charming frowned: "I can't get in, are the guards so tight? Who did you send?"
Gong Xiaobai replied: "People from the special battalion of the Nirvana Army."
Youmei was surprised that even the people from the special camp couldn't get in. Could it be that this god-descendant managed Jiangcheng like an iron barrel? This is impossible.
"The people from the special battalion wrote back that the god-descendants had set up a lot of security matrices on the walls of Jiangcheng, so dense that they could hardly get down. If there was any disturbance, a large group of soldiers would go to check, and they couldn't get close at all." Gong Xiaobai said.
Charming sucked in a breath of cold air, frightened by the handwriting of the gods.
The alert matrix is a mechanical creation. It is composed of ten single device units. The set is about 50 silver coins. It is not very expensive, but it is impossible to cover the entire Jiangcheng city wall and the outer periphery of the city without arranging a quantity of more than 100,000 to 200,000. How much does it cost.
But it wasn't the money that surprised Meimei.
"Where did they get so many alert matrices?"
Charming is very puzzled. The gods have always rejected mechanical constructions. It is impossible to hoard so many warning matrices. This is too strange.
Gong Xiaobai didn't think it was strange, "It should be that the five clans were preparing to leave the southern border very early, when they prepared for the Buwu Federation."
After hearing this, Charming thought it made sense, so she didn't think too much about it.
"Auntie, you said that if the gods captured sisters Jimo and Wenren, would they hurt them?" Gong Xiaobai said worriedly.
Charming shook her head and said: "Probably not, there is no need for the gods to do that."
The divine race held more than a hundred thousand people as hostages, so there was absolutely no need to embarrass Jimo and Wenren by doing superfluous things.
Gong Xiaobai was relieved a little, and then brought the topic back.
"Auntie, is there anything you can do about this issue of the God-descendants?"
Charming smiled bitterly and said: "There is a way, I just said it a long time ago."
Gong Xiaobai looked disappointed.
"If we do this now, the gods don't have much time for us, and they will definitely kill people when the time comes."
While talking, Gong Xiaobai suddenly scratched his head madly and shouted: "Really, how could the gods do that? Don't they have any sense of morality? Aren't they afraid that when they are besieged in the future, they won't be able to do that?" Is there anyone to help?"
"Ahhh, why did I agree to save them last time? If I had known that it would be better to let them exterminate the clan, there would be no such thing as now."
"It's all my fault."
Gong Xiaobai's tone was full of remorse.
Charmingly sighed: "It's not your fault, I am also responsible, after all, I agreed to the plan."
But in fact, they were also wronged. Who knows what kind of thing will be saved, and who knows that the gods are such an unbearable race.
But if you really want to blame them, they are indeed responsible.
At least in terms of arrangements, it is too stupid to put the gods into Jiangcheng easily, and let them all in.
If Chen Fang came, he would definitely not let the descendants of the gods enter the city.
There is a saying that it is indispensable to guard against others.
He will definitely only arrange a place far away, let the descendants of the gods set up camp by themselves, and will never let them get close to Jiangcheng.
Moreover, Jiangcheng will be prepared, and at the same time, people will be sent to monitor the gods.
"Hey, Jiangcheng is occupied by the descendants of the gods. If uncle comes back now, he will definitely scold us to death." Gong Xiaobai said.
Charming's expression changed upon hearing this.
No, just like what Gong Xiaobai said, if Chen Fang knew that the Jiangcheng he finally won was invaded, he would definitely get angry, and they would be the first to bear the brunt, and if he couldn't tell, he would call everyone together to let him scold him .
And because of her high status, she must be the focus of Chen Fang's care. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be scolded in front of everyone?
Charming felt that she could not fall into this fate.
"Ahem, Xiaobai, does my aunt usually treat you well?"
Charming spoke in a gentle tone.
Gong Xiaobai, who had never been treated like this before, felt goose bumps all over his body.
"Auntie, speak well."
She stared at her charming eyes, "Just tell me if I usually treat you well."
Seeing his aunt's tone recovered, Gong Xiaobai felt at ease, nodded and said: "That's nothing to say."
She put her hand on Gong Xiaobai's shoulder with a charming smile, "Since this is the case, this time when your uncle comes back, if you want to ask about this matter, you should bear it alone. Just say that you made a decision against everyone's opinions, so everyone I will all be grateful to you, when the time comes, the hearts of the people will."
In order not to reveal her true intentions, Mei Mei's words are always level.
But Gong Xiaobai is no longer the innocent boy he once was. No matter how stupid he has experienced so many things, he has grown up. Died badly.
His face darkened, and his head shook with an afterimage.
Gong Xiaobai refused without hesitation.
"No, if I bear it alone, I will be sprayed to death by my uncle. I won't do it."
You treat me like a fool.
You treat me as shameless.
You think I can withstand the torture of my uncle.
After being scolded, people will get what they want? Who are you fooling.
Seeing Gong Xiaobai's reticent appearance, Mei Mei's eyes revealed danger.
"Xiaobai, are you sure?"
"If you want to die, everyone will die together." Gong Xiaobai said firmly.
Charming looked at Gong Xiaobai with a half-smile but said nothing, but clenched her fists.
"Auntie, what do you want to do, let me tell you, even if forced by force, I don't want to take the blame." Gong Xiaobai said in a cold sweat.
Mei Mei clenched her fists a few times, but instead of using force, she suddenly returned to her normal tone and said, "How could that be, I love you so much."
Gong Xiaobai is dubious.
Charming: "Don't worry, in fact, as long as we settle the matter before your uncle comes back, everything will be fine."
Gong Xiaobai's eyes lit up but quickly darkened again.
"But the problem is that we can't do anything now."
Charming also sighed: "Let's take one step at a time."
