The next day.
The morning sun shone through the holes in the wall into the small house, and Lin Wen opened his eyes on time.
Yuan Shen: 61%
Recovered well.
From now on, he has shed the responsibility of being a solo ADC and no longer carries the entire team alone.
He is now a gold-medal support, a ace commander, an observer on the battlefield, far surpassing the super strategic experts like Napoleon and Lego.
"Hahaha, let the world see my command ability that surpasses human beings!"
Lin Wen changed his clothes and headed straight to the Changshan County Command.
According to his estimate, only a few people like Qin Luoshuang and Yang Shaohu would accept his violent ideas, and the others would be too scared to come out of the house.
It doesn't matter, everyone's opinion doesn't matter, the final interpretation of all the power in Changshan County is in his hands.
As long as he is willing to take full responsibility, there will definitely be people who will work for him.
The Changshan County Command is built on a mountain not far from Huai Town. It was expanded from a former military outpost. The exterior is very simple, but the rooms inside are large and the communication facilities are complete.
"There shouldn't be many people in the command center."
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].
Lin Wen thought to himself.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the necessary generals are here."
When he opened the door, he saw that the hall of the command center was full of people. All the officials above the town level in Changshan County, all the officers above the rank of regimental commander in the army, were gathered here.
Even the dragon Zhao Minggong, who had been working in the sickroom, came over.
They were gathered around a huge sand table in the center of the hall, apparently discussing tactics. The walls of the hall were covered with military maps, data analysis lists, logistics material lists, and so on.
Qin Luoshuang, dressed as a female instructor, was pointing at the sand table with a whip, and when she saw Lin Wen arrive, she showed a surprised smile.
"Lin Wen, you're here."
Everyone clapped their hands together, and Old Xie shouted in the crowd, "Welcome the great Sheriff Lin, the commander of Changshan County, to the command center!"
Such disgusting words did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd. They warmly welcomed Lin Wen to the sand table. Qin Luoshuang, Yang Shaohu, and Fang Dashan reported to him the preliminary battle plan. Zhao Minggong smiled and told him that during the military expedition, he would do all the work in the rear to support their operations.
Even Chen Xingtai came over to say that the people of their Democratic Party were willing to go to the battlefield at any time to contribute to Changshan County.
Yun Qingshui also promised that she would go back and mobilize the masses to make the evil Rock State government sink into the vast sea of people's war.
Lin Wen finally couldn't sit still when he heard this. With Yun Qingshui's actions, he was afraid that he would have to fight to the death with the empire in no time.
But Lin Wen knew very well that he was not cut out to be a revolutionary leader. If he made a mistake in command, he would not know how many righteous people and heroes would be killed. It might even extinguish the spark and cause the revolution to fall into a low ebb, with the empire on high alert, making it much more difficult to establish a new world, and many more people might die as a result.
People who didn't need to die would die because of him. This evil karma was like a mountain collapsing and roaring, completely shattering Lin Wen's dream of becoming an immortal.
The highest achievement of endless evil karma was nothing more than a figure like the old ancestor of the River of Death, hiding like a turtle in the sea of blood to avoid the gaze of the saints, and in the end, when the great disaster came, everything would be destroyed.
This was not what Lin Wen wanted.
He knew very well that in the physical world, he was just an ordinary person who relied on spells, and he had no talent as a leader.
Being a sheriff was already the best he could do. Being a leader would only harm others and himself.
All his talents were focused on cultivating immortality, and this was not his home ground at all. The best thing to do was to hurry up and become a perfect immortal.
Therefore, he immediately stopped Yun Qingshui.
"Yun Qingshui, you don't need to do this. This is a war that is sure to win. A few days ago, Qin Luoshuang and I confirmed together that the Rock State's army is nothing but a bunch of weaklings..."
The public security army's Xu Chaogong, Jiang Sheng, and others all shouted, "That's right."
The veins on Lin Wen's head were about to pop out, but he continued to say, "So, there is absolutely no need to interrupt their normal work. Now is an important time for development. Otherwise, if we miss the planting season, we won't be able to sow, which will affect the harvest."
Yun Qingshui looked a little regretful, but Lin Wen's words made sense, and she couldn't refute them. She said firmly, "Okay, I understand. Development is also part of the revolution. Please rest assured, I will do my best to develop the land."
Chen Xingtai looked at Yun Qingshui with satisfaction.
But the bad news did not end there, but came one after another.
Qin Luoshuang reported to him the basic principles of this operation - disguise, lightning action, and deception.
The specific battle plan was for the soldiers to change their clothes, the troops to change their banners, and the special agents to interfere with the enemy's line of sight, and so on.
There were also a series of follow-up work, and even political traps were prepared. As long as the Rock State dared to report, it would be the one at a disadvantage.
The more Lin Wen listened, the colder his heart became. This battle plan sounded too reasonable and reliable, with a particularly high chance of success.
Really?
If you do this, won't I be finished again?
If the Rock State can't get any evidence and the report is unsuccessful, I will be the one to blame. If you do everything, how can I be loyal to my country and save the people?However, his current first priority in thinking and position should be the sheriff who protects the civilians and the hero who protects humanity.
According to this position, he should strongly support Qin Luoshuang.
If he forcefully denies her correct strategy, wouldn't that make his intentions obvious to everyone?
How can he perfect his reincarnation?
If the first priority logic doesn't match up, it will definitely lead to self-destruction.
Come on, little sister, I only called you here to work for me and earn some good karma. Can you please stop meddling in such important matters?
Lin Wen frantically racked his brain, trying to find a flaw in Qin Luoshuang's plan.
But she was appointed by the system and was as famous as the Sleeping Dragon. She also gathered all the power of Changshan County, and the entire plan was flawless, with no loopholes.
Even if there were, it wasn't something an outsider like him could see.
Lin Wen wanted to cheat, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
From the standpoint of the sheriff who protects the civilians and the hero who protects humanity, he didn't need to waste his energy here.
"Forget it."
Lin Wen gritted his teeth and thought, "Let's take it step by step. Hopefully, the governor of Rock State is competent and won't fall for this trick."
However, Qin Luoshuang had no intention of letting him off the hook. At the end of her report, she added:
"Lin Wen, your special agent Qimu refuses to come over and provide data. He says it's all a lie, and such information can't be obtained online."
Lin Wen's heart sank. Oh no, I forgot to coordinate with Qimu. How do I cover this up now?
But then he heard Qin Luoshuang say, "Not bad, I underestimated you. He's very conscious of confidentiality, and I appreciate that."
"It turns out that your Dragon Group still has a certain level of organization. You should be the one to give the orders."
Lin Wen's expression was dumbfounded.
Come on, can you really cover this up? Is your brain filled with water?
He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason, so he could only vaguely agree.
But Qin Luoshuang didn't notice Lin Wen's resistance at all. She further said, "Well, I've asked. Hurry and contact him through your quantum wave communicator."
Lin Wen wished he could smash his own mouth. His thoughtless words had caused countless troubles.
Fortunately, he hadn't said that the Dongfeng-21 was a nuclear missile. Otherwise, what would Qin Luoshuang do if she asked him to wipe out all the reactionary elements in the empire?
Lin Wen was in agony, but now he had no way out. He had no reason to refuse such a correct and reasonable request.
With a long sigh in his heart, Lin Wen could only lie flat like a salted fish and let her have her way.
Qin Luoshuang was satisfied to obtain the essence of the Rock State's intelligence from Lin Wen, adding more details to her battle plan and significantly increasing the chances of success.
Next, it was time for Qin Luoshuang and Zhao Minggong's performance.
Qin Luoshuang was responsible for all tactical arrangements, while Zhao Minggong was responsible for all logistics and support in the rear.
Lin Wen looked on in despair at the perfect war preparations, placing his last hope on the Rock State's army being slightly more competent.
"You are the governor of the most populous state in the empire. You should have some real ability."
"Rock State has a population of over 200 million, ranking seventh in the original world. The ruler of so many people should have some ability to see through the schemes of a little girl, right?"
Thinking this way, Lin Wen regained some confidence.
"I won't say much. You just need to find evidence that it was my Lin Wen who sent troops to invade Rock State. For anyone with normal intelligence, this shouldn't be difficult."
"Yes, the governor of over 200 million people can't be an idiot. If he can't handle this, he might as well die."
"As long as he can obtain this intelligence, my plan won't be hindered."
Lin Wen suddenly felt more hopeful.
"Hahaha, no matter how you resist, you can't stop me from perfecting my reincarnation."
Lin Wen's heart settled a bit, and he could now view their preparations from the standpoint of the sheriff who protects the civilians and the hero who protects humanity.
He was also thinking about the details of his reincarnation work.
Anyway, as long as he acted in accordance with these two identities, everything he did would be seamless.
Under the leadership of these two superhumans, the preparations for war were completed at lightning speed.
Changshan County's 50,000 troops left behind 10,000 new recruits as reserves, while the remaining 40,000 soldiers traveled by water route on cargo ships to the edge of the vast Gobi Desert in Changshan County.
After all, the western part of Changshan County was a 300-kilometer-long mountainous area, making it difficult for the troops to pass through. Traveling by water was the fastest option.
The seized food would also be transported here on cargo ships and sent back to Changshan County.
For this military expedition, Qin Luoshuang brought out all her hidden assets, a total of four cargo ships and six barges to transport soldiers and war supplies.
These were gifts given to her by a maritime boss when she was still the young lady of the Qin family. The most core and expensive yacht had already been taken back by the family, leaving only these not-so-valuable old ships.
But they were still far more than all the warships of Changshan County combined.
Lin Wen had already decided to confiscate them all when he returned, as compensation for the damage to his soul.
This was the first time that Changshan County had gone all out for a military expedition.
The leaders of the expedition included Chief of Staff Qin Luoshuang, Commander Fang Dashan, Political Director Yang Shaohu, and Regimental Commander He Shangsheng, among others.Xu Chaogong and Jiang Sheng of the human security forces, among others.
All the soldiers had changed into plain clothes, looking like a large group of bandits composed of civilians, with their flag replaced by the insignia of a notorious anti-imperial rebel group—the Golan Revival Party.
This was a criminal organization active in the southern bay area outside the borders.
Although it was outside the borders, it was very close to Tianjiang. If one followed the river downstream, they could easily reach the western mountainous region of Changshan County.
The western mountainous region of Changshan County was a notorious haven for filth and evil, and it wouldn't be surprising to find any kind of criminal group hiding there.
Thus, this disguise was theoretically plausible.
However, Lin Wen keenly spotted a flaw; if someone could prove that this was a baseless lie, then the disguise would fall apart on its own.
And the recently surrendered human security forces were this biggest unstable factor.
Based on his primary stance, Lin Wen shared his concerns with Qin Luoshuang.
Qin Luoshuang just smiled: "Don't worry, my agents will keep an eye on them."
"Haha, Qin Luoshuang is being careless. She thinks that an army monitored by agents can keep an eye on everyone."
"That's impossible. Once the chaos of war starts, there will always be a few who manage to escape. Such an unreliable force as the human security forces should never have been brought into battle; they will only cause more harm than good."
Lin Wen thought gleefully.
"Later, you guys should run away quickly, just report my situation to the governor of Rock State."
This wasn't considered intentionally creating a flaw; he had already warned the chief of staff.
It was quite normal for the dunce commander-in-chief to follow the advice of the genius chief of staff.
Thanks to thorough preparations, the Changshan County army moved very quickly. By sunset, over forty thousand soldiers had already landed and were advancing towards Rock State across the great Gobi.
Qin Luoshuang mobilized half of the KGB's living forces, dividing two thousand agents into forty teams to enter Rock State from various directions.
Their goal was to create chaos everywhere, release smoke bombs, obstruct vision, and spread rumors of the Golan Revival Party's invasion.
Meanwhile, the main force of Changshan County took advantage of the situation and followed the optimal route planned out from the intelligence obtained from Lin Wen, heading straight for Mengyin Town, sixty kilometers away.
That place was Rock State's largest granary and also the weakest in defense—this too was intelligence obtained from Lin Wen.
In this way, nearly fifty thousand combat personnel, under the increasingly dim sky, marched boldly and vigorously towards their target.
"It's all up to you now, Governor of Rock State," Lin Wen thought.
—
Rock State.
East City's Willow Flower Lane.
Deep courtyard of the Emerald Red Building.
The Governor of Rock State, Chang Shengkai, was admonishing the "Rock State Guard."
These carefully selected "guards" had fair skin, delicate features, and scant clothing.
They danced gracefully, their clothes becoming less and less as they moved.
"Good!"
After a high-difficulty move, his trusted generals all shouted their approval in unison.
