Lu Ziming nodded. It was not too much for the jiutun army to block the civilians from the plain base from entering Xincheng. It was reasonable not to hurt the innocent, which made him more impressed on Li Juan.

Xiangxiang continued: "the attack of jiutun on Xincheng has made many civilians angry and dissatisfied. The civilian volunteer team organized by us has signed up enthusiastically, and the number has exceeded 7000. After short-term intensive training, we have mastered the basic military knowledge, which can be used as backup weapons in wartime, and can also be invested in small-scale war in case of emergency?"

"Xiao Cao, what's the situation over there?"

"Er!" Xiao Cao was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking: "The army brought by Zhang Yechang in the early stage has been reorganized and can be put into frontal combat after intensive training. However, the prisoners of the plain base... Are not very willing to fight. They have not recovered from the previous rebellion. Although there are a large number of people, they can not be put into fierce combat in case of military instability...".

"I know that. Fortunately for you..." Lu Ziming had a headache. He obviously incorporated six or seven thousand rebels in the plain base, and the combat effectiveness was no problem, but the time was too short to do a good job in ideological work. Many people were tired of war and had not been freed from the shadow of the rebellion in the plain base. It's really hard to say how much this army can play.

Compared with the old village, Xincheng's biggest disadvantage is the gap in the number of soldiers. The total number of soldiers in the old village has reached 14000. Of course, there is a lot of water and a large number of auxiliary soldiers, but compared with less than 2000 soldiers in Xincheng, the quantitative advantage is highlighted, which makes Xincheng fall into a great passivity in combat deployment.

"This battle is not easy to fight!"

If possible, Lu Ziming really doesn't want to see Li Juan on the battlefield. This is a meaningless war. If it was put in the past, he would not hesitate to give up Xincheng. It's not the same who occupied Xincheng.

Lu Ziming finally experienced what it was called involuntarily. It was impossible for him to give up Xincheng. This battle had to be fought without fighting. It was a battle of survival and interests. Whoever won could gain a foothold in Jinzhong, and Li Juan obviously could not play such a role.

"You are clear about the operational deployment. What other opinions do you have!"

"Lu Shuai..." Xiao Cao stood up again. Before the war, everyone changed Lu Ziming's name: "the soldiers in the plain base are not all unusable, but how to use them...".

"What do you suggest!"

Xiao Cao sorted out the messy ideas in his mind: "The soldiers in the plain base can be divided into three categories. One is the soldiers under director Lian haihotan, who are most tired of war and obviously inappropriate to go to the battlefield. There are two other categories, one is the soldiers who participate in the unrest of the big four, and the other is the soldiers who do not participate in the unrest, especially the latter. There are a large number of soldiers. They have their own ideas about what kind of battle to participate in and can send people Doing their ideological work, most of these soldiers hate unjust battles, which is the main reason why they did not participate in the unrest... So they should be won over first ".

"How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent!" Xiao Cao said confidently: "Jiutun attacked us first in this battle. We had to fight. Morally, we were innocent. In order to protect the civilians in Xincheng, we were forced to fight back, which established a high prestige among the civilians in Xincheng. As long as we firmly grasp this point, it is not difficult to win the support of most soldiers in plain bases, and the problem of insufficient troops will be solved.".

"You are responsible for this matter. Li Xiang helps you. What else do others have?"

Dashan opened his mouth and tried to stand up and speak several times. He was held by Lao he around him. Finally, he broke free and said: "Why can't we use high explosive bombs and incendiary bombs... When sneaking attacks on Fu Tao's rebels, we said that we were unwilling to hurt our compatriots on a large scale. We can't use them now. Should we watch the jiutun army destroy our hard-built home?"

"Don't get excited..." Lao he grabbed the mountain and said, "the power of cloud bomb and incendiary bomb... Is too great. Lu Shuai didn't say it can't be used. He just said not to use it at the beginning and wait until the war is urgent. Who is willing to watch their homes destroyed? Things haven't been irreparable. Don't you want to kill the enemy on a large scale?"

"What is the irreparable situation? The troops of jiutun have hit the door. Do you want them to point their guns at our heads?"

Dashan and Lao he quarreled. They didn't want anyone to disagree with anyone. They were about to fight: "all right! Be quiet..." Lu Ziming is also a headache. Dashan's opinion is not the head of a family. In terms of war technology, Xincheng has an overwhelming advantage over jiutun. Some even think that we should attack jiutun first on the eve of the attack, so as to completely nip the unstable factors in the bud.

However, the sad Lu Ziming found that he had fallen into the vortex of politics. It was not a problem that he could solve alone, let alone fight and kill to pull Xincheng back from the edge of the war.

Lu Ziming now understood Li Juan's feelings at that time, but he had to go against his will and put himself under great pressure.

Unlike Li Juan, she has absolute authority and can suppress different voices, even reasonable voices.

"I don't want to raise this question again. Although the technology and weapons provided by Chiyou space can quickly solve the current conflict, can you really press this button? The army in jiutun is controlled by some people, but the civilians and soldiers in jiutun... They are innocent. Just because some ambitious people use unconventional weapons, do you feel at ease?"

Although the number of soldiers in Xincheng has been lacking, it is inseparable from Lu Ziming's strategy of streamlining the army and government. If it is really crazy and militaristic, it is not impossible for Xincheng to organize an army of tens of thousands of people. Is this really what Lu Ziming wants? no Lu Ziming did not lose himself, nor could he turn the war into a senseless killing.

"Our operational objective is to integrate the jiutun army. Reducing casualties is also one of our operational objectives. Even jiutun knows to prevent civilians in the plain base from entering Xincheng to reduce casualties. What else should we say? The plan remains unchanged. If you have opinions, wait until the war. Remember that we are not butchers, but honest soldiers. Protecting the safety of civilians is our first requirement, no Then what is the difference between us and bandits... "
