C697 The battle on the Heaven's Tower!

This was the most crucial moment of a normal battle, and Xiao Letian was lying on top of the wall of Second Orb. He was also shocked by this massacre, especially when he found out that the new commander of the Tokugawa's army was Matsudaira Katamori, he felt a bit more respect for him.

In the real history, Matsudaira Katamori was the most tragic figure in the Wanchen War. His Huizinfan was the region with the most tenacious resistance in the entire battle.

When war had forced children in their teens to fight on the battlefield, the word 'tragic' could no longer be used to describe the cruelty of war.

"Can anyone tell me, did Matsudaira Katamori bring out his White Tiger team this time?" Xiao Letian suddenly asked as he put down the binoculars.

Xiao Letian had been served by a few intelligence liaison officers for a long time, so they quickly answered, "Yes, Prime Minister, we have already interrogated the intelligence officer thoroughly, and the White Tiger Army is the vanguard of Matsudaira Katamori. During the surprise attack on the Bechuchi, they made their first meritorious deed!"

Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, "As expected, it's a sad song. History indeed has its own habits, no matter how hard I try to change it, many things that should happen will still happen …"

The Prime Minister often said something strange, and this was not a secret. Every time he said something strange, people's first choice would be to remain silent, because they knew that the Prime Minister's strange words had a profound meaning.

Other than the brothers who followed Xiao Letian at the start, no one else dared to ask the meaning of these words, because these were Xiao Letian's weak points. There were once a few secretary who was expelled from Prime Minister's Manor by Xiao Letian for being too talkative, and had lived under his watch for his entire life.

"He broke through!" Matsudaira Katamori's Warriors had a breakthrough... " Following the roars of the people around, Xiao Letian quickly raised his binoculars. In his lens, the White Tiger youth team was attacking the warriors of the Southwest Allied Army.

Xiao Letian had never seen such a young man who dared to fight before. There was not a single trace of fear on the young faces of all the Katana s.

Furthermore, these children seemed to be immune to pain. Xiao Letian saw with his own eyes a young warrior around sixteen to seventeen years old. His stomach had already been chopped open and his intestines were flowing out.

However, the crazy young man shoved his intestines back into the hole, then used his left hand to cover his wound while his right hand held his saber. His bravery made the other adult warriors retreat.

This was a group of children who treated loyalty as their lifelong mission. Although the future generations had many people attacking the stupidity and loyalty of these children, Xiao Letian knew that this was not stupidity and loyalty. It was just that they did not meet a good leader.

"Be it friend or foe, this kind of spirit is precious. Courage, loyalty, sacrifice … "Some people might say that this kind of behavior is foolish. Indeed, many people in this world are sacrificing their lives and giving their lives for the wrong path, but if one is wrong, it does not mean that they are wrong to persevere in walking …"

As Xiao Hexin listened to the Prime Minister's mutterings, he seemed to understand something. He was the first person to follow Xiao Letian, and he was Xiao Letian's bodyguard in the Taibai Top back then.

"The Prime Minister is right. Regardless of whether it is our enemies or our friends, regardless of their status or position, this nation's spirit is worthy of respect …" As you said, those children aren't stupid. On the contrary, they're all beautiful pieces of gold! Unfortunately, the person who led the way was too poor, and the gold was actually wasted on the wrong path! "

Xiao Hexin's eyes shone as he stared at the battlefield and muttered, "How about I make a trip to Heaven's Tower? I am a cripple, they can't be afraid of a cripple, right …"

Xiao Letian did not speak. Xiao Hexin turned his head and used his walking stick to support himself as he walked straight towards the Heaven's Tower.

Xiao Hexin climbed up the stairs and arrived at the staircase where the two parties were facing each other. The warriors opposite to him brandished their torches and bellowed out, "Step back, no one is allowed to get close! "Step back …"

Xiao Hexin sneered as he walked over: "My name is Xiao Hexin, I think your Tokugawa should have heard of me before, the lame general under the Ryukyu's Prime Minister is me …"

"See my leg? It was a wound on the European battlefield. Are you afraid of a cripple like me? "

Just as the Warriors were at a loss as to what to do, Tokugawa Yoshinobu's voice sounded from within the Heaven's Tower, "I know your name, the most famous Wisdom General under Xiao Letian … "Wulang, let's open a path and invite guests in!"

Although the one in front was only a cripple, the gold hat and crest proved that he had a very high status in the Ryukyu's military. Furthermore, he had a strong aura of a person in power on him, like a lonely tiger in a pack of wolves, filled with disdain.

"My legs aren't convenient, I'm afraid I can't sit cross-legged on the tatami. Give me a chair …"

"Eight!" "Why didn't you kneel when you saw the general …" The sound of Katana being unsheathed filled the air.

"Tch!" So what if it was a general? I didn't even kneel when I saw the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. Even the king of Prussia had toasted me, so why should I kneel? "Gel Little Bang …"

Taunt, extreme ridicule. All the faces in Heaven's Tower flushed red. Do you know what the most effective form of ridicule is? Actually, it's very simple. All you have to do is say the truth, so naturally it's the most effective.

Tsurukawa's Palace knew very well what Xiao Letian's army had done in Europe and the Beijing. They knew that what Xiao Hexin had said was the truth, but this kind of indisputable truth was the most piercing to the heart.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu took a deep breath to calm his emotions, "Bring the chair over for General Xiao, and bring the chair over for us as well …"

"No need, time is running out, I will just stand there and say it, I have come with the hope of bringing the Prime Minister's peace, I suggest that Master General immediately give Matsudaira Katamori an order for him to stop, don't continue this meaningless slaughter!"

"No point?" Dahe asked in a stern voice, "This is the battle of the reunification of Japan. We absolutely cannot allow the traitors of the Southwestern Four Feudal Lords to betray the Mu Family …"

"But you all can't win anymore, the Ryukyu Navy and the Marine Corps are the final victors!"

"No no no, you guys are not, you are just Japanese passersby. Although I admit that the Prime Minister Xiao's army is very strong, but your numbers are too small, and you guys can't annex Japan!"

"All you want is benefits. I can tell you very clearly, as long as you stop your bombardment, we, the Tsurukawa's Palace, will definitely give you more benefits than the Southwest's Four Soldiers!"

Xiao Hexin laughed coldly, "You can represent the general?"

"Yes!" If he can, of course, what Old Zhong had said before would be representative of my opinion! " At critical moments, Tokugawa Yoshinobu had to support his own ministers.

Just then, from the sea south of Heaven's Tower, the sounds of cannons firing could be heard. A cannonball flew across the sky towards the battlefield.

With the rumbling sounds of explosions, he did not know how many of the new troops had become cannon fodder. Xiao Hexin used the power of the cannons to loudly shout, "Benefit? You're bringing up benefits to our Prime Minister? What good can your barren land in Japan offer? Your annual income can't even compare to our Letian Firm's … "

"Not only that, you have also wasted a lot of your wealth on the civil war! Keep fighting, keep fighting, do you think you can unite Japan after you finally eliminate the Southwest Tetra Marchese? I'm afraid that in the end, when their strength was greatly weakened, the last drop of blood that flowed from Japan would be taken advantage of by those Western powers! "

"You ignorant shallow people, do you know how much initial funding is needed for a country to carry out its initial industrialization? Do you know how much money is needed to train a shipbuilder, engineer, and scientist of your own race? "Even using gold of the same weight is not enough …"

"With your little family background in Japan, how many more times can you guys go through with it? Still can't wake up … My Prime Minister said that Asia is the Asian's Asia and every internal conflict we have is the Western Civilization's best opportunity to infiltrate. The more we fight, the happier they would be.

At this moment, Xiao Hexin was simply a possession of Su Qin Zhang Yi. Since the Japanese has talked about the issue of benefits, then I will properly tell you what benefits are. The survival of the nation and the right to development are the best benefits.

An investment of at least two to three million silvers for a modern shipyard. What about a big Steel plant? Chemical factory? What about the military factory? What about the Bureau of Advanced Machinery? One piece after another added up to more than a hundred million taels of silver.

No one had ever avenged this debt to the Japanese, and no one in the world would truly look down on the wealthy and powerful Japan. To put it bluntly, what Xiao Hexin had shown these people today was the most core question of the national interests of the nation.

"Armistice! "The prime minister is kind and does not wish for too many of you to die. Don't think that the French are truly good people. I can tell you all a top secret information …"

Xiao Hexin said mysteriously, "In three years, there will be a war in France. I'm afraid that by then, the life of the Emperor of France will be lost, yet you still want to board this ship? Stupid! "

"Nani!" Everyone in Heaven's Tower cried out in alarm, at this time, the cannon light above Osaka Bay started to pour into the Heaven's Tower, and the sky started to darken.

At this time, Xiao Letian's calm voice came from the stairs, "That's right, France is already suffering from internal and external problems, and although the series of militaristic battles after Napoleon III's ascension to the throne allowed the France to occupy many colonies, the benefits from the colonies were not transferred to the ordinary citizens …"

"The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger, and the people at the bottom are getting more and more resentful. At this point, as long as we lose a big battle, the entire country will probably fall into chaos.

"Calm down, France is not your country. On the contrary, you and their alliance will become an excuse for the enemy to clean you up."

"When that time comes, what do you Japan use to protect yourselves? Relying on this kind of broken body with injuries from both sides? "I really don't know how many more of these armies can be produced in Japan!"
