Chapter 716 Ye Dingjiang's Speech
"Cang Nian, now that you've arrived, the meeting can begin!"
In the Peony Hall of the Forbidden City in the capital, Ye Dingjiang stood beside the seat at the head of the table and greeted Cang Nian, who had transformed into the size of an ordinary adult tiger, as he entered the conference room with a smile.
"What meeting? Do I really have to come?"
Looking at the group of high-ranking officials from both the capital and Shanghai standing respectfully beside their seats in the Peony Hall, casting friendly glances at them, Cang Nian wondered.
"That's right. During this period, both the capital and Shanghai have almost recovered."
Therefore, we are prepared to achieve the unification of the Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible after the spiritual energy revival, unite more forces, and face the future crisis together.
The purpose of this meeting is to formulate the general strategic direction for the future.
As the strongest of the three parties, you may not be interested in this matter, but you should have the right to know.
In addition, without the support of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, it would be difficult for us to advance some tasks more vigorously.
So I'd like to have you attend the meeting as well, to see if you can help out.
Ye Dingjiang offered a simple explanation to Cang Nian's doubts.
"Heh~! They just want to get something for nothing and make us work for free!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian squinted and retorted.
"Of course this isn't to make you work for free!"
However, we don't have anything you'd like to offer.
You only care about the Spirit Gold, but our Spirit Gold was found by Meng Lan, and Meng Lan is happy to share the spoils with you privately, rather than handing them over to the Imperial Capital Military Supplies Depot.
We're also having a headache trying to figure out what to offer you as compensation!
Ye Dingjiang shook his head helplessly.
"Ahem... That's true. I'll listen and see. I'll help if I can, but don't even think about forcing me to do anything too troublesome!"
When Ye Dingjiang pointed out his private affair with Menglan, Cangnian coughed awkwardly twice, then guiltily moved to the seat directly opposite Ye Dingjiang.
To be honest, Ye Dingjiang's preparations were quite good. To accommodate me, he removed the standard chairs from the Peony Hall and replaced them with a rather spacious mahogany bed, which seemed to be covered with a silk cushion. It was quite comfortable to lie on.
"Of course, now, let alone the capital, or even the entire Dragon Kingdom, I'm afraid no one would dare to force you to do anything."
Ye Dingjiang smiled and nodded.
"Now that Cangnian has arrived, let me begin to discuss our strategic plan."
After chatting with Cang Nian for a couple of minutes, Ye Dingjiang put on a serious expression, waved his hand, and two huge maps appeared behind him.
Cang Nian was not surprised by this.
This is a shadow formation that Noah extracted from the Dragon Palace formation. Its effect is similar to the Tiger Mother's phantom ability, and it can present an effect comparable to virtual reality technology.
Upon seeing these two maps, all the high-ranking officials focused their attention on them.
The map on the left is of the Dragon Kingdom before the revival of spiritual energy.
On the right is a map of the Dragon Kingdom that has been explored since the revival of spiritual energy.
The vast majority of the area above was shrouded in mist, with only the areas surrounding the capital and Shanghai illuminated.
Compared to the map of the Dragon Kingdom before the spiritual energy revival, this map has undergone significant changes in outline details, but the overall proportions remain largely the same.
"These lit-up areas were created by the combined efforts of the powerful warriors from our capital, Shanghai, and the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom."
Many of these areas, while not having formed super-large survivor bases with tens of millions of people like our capital city and Shanghai, do not have such large populations.
However, some compatriots spontaneously banded together for mutual support.
They didn't have the power to explore further; simply surviving was already a huge challenge for them.
They will not feel truly safe until our army arrives and finds them.
I've seen this kind of thing happen a lot. Our army sees this kind of thing happening every day during the land reclamation process.
I am grateful that I was in the capital during the spiritual energy revival tide, so that I could have a safe haven in such an apocalyptic environment.
But it is precisely because of this that I feel even more sympathy for my fellow countrymen who originally lived in small cities and towns.
What are those compatriots who have not yet been discovered experiencing?
They may live in constant fear and trembling under the onslaught of evolved creatures and savage beasts.
They may be oppressed by some inhuman evolved beings for some reason.
Besides struggling to fill their stomachs and evading the rampage of savage beasts and evolved creatures, what else do they think about every day?
I guess they must have fantasized about an army, an army belonging to the Dragon Kingdom, an army belonging to the people, that would crush everything in front of them that frightened them and oppressed them with invincible force!
Previously, Shanghai suffered from disasters, and our capital city also suffered huge losses because of some of our mistakes.
But now, we have rallied and gathered our strength.
I believe it is time for our compatriots who are still holding the line on the land of the Dragon Kingdom to welcome such armies!
Ye Dingjiang stood up and pointed to the map on the right. Although he was quite old, he spoke with a strong and passionate tone, as if he were giving a speech.
After his impassioned speech, Ye Dingjiang paused for a moment, then looked across the long table and landed on Cang Nian.
Cangnian recalled that when he was carrying out the pioneering mission, he had encountered many small survivor bases that were originally just small towns and cities that had banded together.
Their situation was indeed as Ye Dingjiang had described.
They lack the ability to explore further afield, and it is already quite an achievement for them to protect themselves amidst numerous savage beasts and evolved creatures.
After the period of recuperation and rest, the capital city would have such a plan, which was not surprising to Cang Nian.
As a human being in his previous life, and as a person from the Dragon Kingdom, he could very well understand such thoughts.
Some actions of the Chinese people do not actually require any tangible benefits.
The mere existence of vague and intangible honors such as "unity," "compatriots," and "unity" is enough to motivate the Chinese people to expend enormous human and material resources to accomplish things that seem foolish.
Seeing Ye Dingjiang staring at him, and everyone else also focusing their attention on him, Cang Nian belatedly nodded.
Now, one's own opinion cannot be ignored in the capital.
His absolute power meant that everyone had to defer to him.
Bang bang bang~!
Only after Cangnian nodded did thunderous applause erupt in the Peony Hall conference room.
Upon seeing this, Cangnian suddenly realized.
So this is the power that countless people have been pursuing.
