Chapter 852
True Energy slowly entered Huai Caoshi's thin body, causing her to cough again. Looking at her pale face, Xu Le knew that she was heavily injured. The earth-shattering mecha battle on Mo Hua Planet appeared in his mind, and he frowned slightly, thinking that Madman Li should also be heavily injured.
In an instant, he overthrew this thought. Although Huai Caoshi had the most terrifying battle power in the universe, when she led the mecha group to attack Du Shaoqing, she was facing an enemy that was several times or even dozens of times stronger than her. Li Feng had been silently guarding beside Du Shaoqing, waiting for an exhausted enemy, so in comparison, he had a much easier time.
Xu Le's lips could not help but curl up into a complicated smile when he thought of the pinnacle dialogue between the universe supreme masters. The blood in his heart only rippled slightly, but more than that, he was still deeply moved by the encounters in life.
If he had not encountered such a steep and huge wave in his life, no matter if it was the first wave when he was an ignorant baby or the wave when his identity as an imperial was exposed, he would have appeared on Mo Hua Planet right now, standing on one side of the Federation or the Empire, controlling the little white flower MXT to fight against the other side.
Huai Caoshi raised her right fist and lightly hit her chest twice, temporarily suppressing the injury in her lungs. She slowly pushed his arm away, looked up at his thoughtful expression, and guessed what he was thinking. She shook her head and said, "Madman Li does not dare to take the risk like me, because he does not know when I will appear. As long as he leaves, Du Shaoqing may die."
"But the Empire's general on Mo Hua Planet may also be killed by him," Xu Le said.
"The Empire's general can line up to die, but if Du Shaoqing dies, where will the Federation find such a genius and crazy general?"
Huai Caoshi said expressionlessly. Her calm tone did not hide her fear and even admiration for Du Shaoqing.
Xu Le sat back in his chair and picked up the teacup, wanting to drink. However, he put it down slowly and looked at her, asking in a deep voice, "Are you still going back to Mo Hua Planet?"
"Neither side can bear the consequences of losing Mo Hua Planet. The Federation needs a strategic jump base, and we need to grab them by the throat. More importantly, this is where the empire's momentum lies."
After a slight pause, Huai Caoshi looked into his eyes, which were even clearer than before, and said, "Neither side can afford to lose that planet, but in fact, both sides can't hold on for much longer. Whether it's the logistics, the fatigue of the troops, or the most troublesome of all, the death rate, none of these can sustain the battle any longer. According to the intelligence, the Iron Seventh Division and the Seventeenth Division are temporarily replenishing their troops. You can imagine how miserable this battle is, and how difficult the supply of troops for the Federation is facing."
Hearing the name of the Seventeenth Division, Xu Le's eyes narrowed, as if he didn't want the dusty light in front of him to turn into a blood-red battlefield. He didn't want to think about how many of his former comrades and subordinates had turned into cold corpses on that black fertile land.
"My troops seem to be in a worse situation, but in fact, as long as we can hold on for another two months, the Federation forces will definitely not be able to maintain such a strong offensive state. Why did Du Shaoqing become crazier and stronger recently? It's because he knows this better than anyone else. "
"I don't know the situation in the war zone very well."
Xu Le replied purely subconsciously. He did not expect Huai Caoshi to take out the electronic battlefield command map without hesitation. She opened the top-secret military deployment map and data analysis linear chart and pointed at a certain area in the war zone that was dyed red.
"My Maple Leaf Alliance is defending the Starry Gorge at all costs. Behind them is a continuous stretch of developed graphite mines. The Federation forces in charge of attacking this area are nine integrated West Woods mechanics. According to some unreliable information, the commander of these West Woods troops is a certain acquaintance of yours. If Du Shaoqing uses his right wing to help him suppress our side, I will not hesitate to give the order to blow up all the graphite mines. "
"This is the Kyle Crater in the southern half of the planet. It is the best natural landing spot for a large fleet. I have destroyed 15% of the Federation's current air-to-air transport cabins. They need this landing spot, but I have placed three mecha teams here. If Du Shaoqing decides to fight with his life on the line, I will send the last reserve of the Royal Mecha Battalion to receive him. "
"This is the Azure Sea …"

In history, the libraries of human society had always been the birthplace of countless major events. There had been countless powerful figures who had left behind their lonely shadows before they had made their mark in the library.
Today, such a story had also happened in the library of Sang Ku Town Public School, which was made up of a dilapidated hut and hundreds of books. The sun shone through the glass window and shone on the two people sitting at the tea table. Huai Caoshi frowned slightly and spoke clearly and steadily. Xu Le's thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He listened with a serious expression and did not say a word. No one knew that they were discussing an important battle that would decide the balance of the war between the Federation and the Empire.
Huai Caoshi finished her precise analysis of the battle. She picked up the cold tea expressionlessly and finished it in one gulp. She moistened her throat and made the final conclusion.
"The Federation is an evil guest from afar, but we are fighting in our own home. If the war on Mo Hua Planet continues to develop like this, no matter how undefeatable Du Shaoqing is, he will only be able to obtain the most miserable victory in the end. The Federation has prepared too many resources for this battle. Most importantly, most of the veterans who can fight will not be able to survive."
Xu Le was silent for a long time. He stretched out his fingers and massaged his aching brows. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you telling me this?"
"A clear-headed general should know what kind of battles can be fought and what kind of battles can't be fought. He must choose the right time to stop or retreat gracefully."
Xu Le raised his head. His thick eyebrows were knitted again. He said, "As I said just now, I don't have that kind of ability. I can't imagine myself being responsible for thousands of lives. Also … I can't fight for the Empire. Please understand this."
"I don't understand, but I respect it. Therefore, I am telling you this not because I want you to go to Mo Hua Planet to lead my troops. Even if you are willing, I will not be at ease putting the lives of two million brave soldiers in your hands."
Huai Caoshi said coldly, "But at least you have one advantage. The memory of an engineer has always been good. You should be able to remember everything I said just now without missing a single word. Then, I hope that if you have the chance to meet your former subordinates in the future, you can tell Du Shaoqing my opinion."
Hearing these words and understanding the true intentions of the Empire, Xu Le's knitted eyebrows loosened bit by bit. A smile had just appeared on his face, but there was a lot of bitterness in it. "In the eyes of the Federation, I am now a prince of the Empire, not the successor of the military god back then. What I say has no meaning at all. Most importantly, I understand Du Shaoqing very well. For him, the honor of a soldier is very important, and discipline is even more important. As long as the Federation government wants the war to continue, then even if he is left with only one person, he will continue to fight."
Huai Caoshi narrowed her eyes. Some superficial information was not enough for her to understand Du Shaoqing deeply. This famous Federation general was like a thorn in the throat of the Empire's emperor. Xu Le, who had a lot of contact with Du Shaoqing, should not be wrong in his judgment.
"Will the Federation government take the initiative to stop the war? Impossible. "
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window, as if he was looking at the official residence and Parliament Hill that he had not seen for a long time. A faint mocking smile appeared on his lips. "As long as the war continues, Pabre's public support will not fall, and the army will expand. He does not even need continuous victories at the frontlines. Even if it is a bitter defeat, it can be turned into his own political capital under his pen and those thick lips of his, helping him pass bill after bill on Parliament Hill, tightening the noose around the necks of the seven great families even more."
He turned his head to look at Huai Caoshi and said softly, "The enemy you are facing is not Du Shaoqing, but Pabre. He is fighting a war with the Empire outside of the Empire's borders, but in fact, it is to fight a war within the Empire's borders. Don't think that he is just a propagandist who deceives the people with his speeches. It is already very impressive that he can make such a brilliant figure like Du Shaoqing to be dead set on him."
"I understand that." Huai Caoshi looked at him quietly and suddenly smiled. "But now, there are some new changes in the situation within the Federation. It seems that Mr. President has run into real trouble for the first time, or rather, a real heavyweight enemy. The war outside of the Empire's borders can no longer support his high-pressure rule. I suspect that he needs the troops that are truly loyal to him to return to the capital ring as some kind of symbol or pressure."
"The Federation is not stable internally, and Du Shaoqing is very likely to be transferred back to the capital ring." Huai Caoshi raised her chin slightly and said, "Under such circumstances, it is very likely that the war on Mo Hua will slow down."
The Federation government under the leadership of Pabre showed its steel-like tough side to the seven families for the first time in the seventy-second year of the Constitutional Calendar, announcing to the entire Federation the ultimate governing program. Xu Le had experienced that turbulent period, so he naturally understood why the Federation government moved the Iron Seventh Division back to S6 from the frontlines.
However, he could not imagine what kind of major event had happened within the Federation that would force President Pabre to take the risk of the frontlines collapsing to transfer back the troops that were loyal to him.
He looked at Huai Caoshi in shock and asked, "What happened?"
Huai Caoshi looked at him calmly and said, "A good friend of yours started a movement called the Silent March half a month ago."
"Tai Zhiyuan?" Xu Le regained his composure and said his friend's name. "What is he planning to do?"
"According to his declaration, the Silent March is a civil rights movement that the Federation has never seen before. What is most unbelievable is that he claims to have obtained the support of the three major Federation unions and the Veteran Association."
Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment and said, "To defeat Pabre in his strongest field, the method your friend chose is brave and powerful. Although he is a member of the Federation, I still admire him."
