The news that Li Tianlan had woken up soon spread throughout the Office of the President.
The atmosphere in the Office of the President was still serious, but it was no longer depressing.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers seemed to be relieved at the same time.
When Li Tianlan had been in a coma, the Snowdance Corps had not been humiliated. But everyone felt extremely humiliated. The top management of the army chose to hold on in order to ensure stability, which also meant that they could not take the initiative to attack. They could only see the dark forces swaggering in Recchi City one after another. Some forces even sent experts to explore Li Tianlan’s injury. The Snowdance Corps had killed some people. Although their means were still tough, they always felt like they were being bullied in their own land when they thought about it.
Now that Li Tianlan had woken up, the morale of the entire Snowdance Corps soared at the same time as they breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Tianlan was not in a hurry to do anything. He only held a temporary meeting of high-level officials in the Office of the President. In addition to the high-level officials of the Snowdance Corps in the Office of the President, Prime Minister of Wulan State Reeker, Dark Swordmaster Qin Xilai, Lin Youxian, General Yi of the Nine Heavens of Zhongzhou State, and Lieutenant General Li w.a.n.gsheng of the Nine Provinces were all invited.
The meeting was held very suddenly.
However, all the high-level executives were extremely quick to show up.
Li Tianlan sat in the main seat of the conference room and watched the senior leaders of the Snowdance Corps come in one by one. His heart was at peace, and his whole person seemed calmer and calmer.
Everyone was laughing.
Li Tianlan’s soberness was something they had been looking forward to for a long time.
What surprised them more was that Li Tianlan’s injury seemed to have recovered very well.
However, in Recchi City, where people’s hearts were gradually in turmoil, the recovery of Li Tianlan’s injury meant so many things. There was no reason for the high-level officials of the Snowdance Corps to be unhappy.
“Young Master, you look good.” Li w.a.n.gsheng took the initiative to speak with a smile.
For Li Tianlan, he was definitely one of his own. But for the Snowdance Corps, both the General of Ninth Heaven and the Lieutenant General of the Nine Provinces were guests. So they were the closest to Li Tianlan. Besides, it was very convenient for them to talk.
“I’ve had a nice sleep. I feel good now.”
Li Tianlan nodded.
“Your Highness, Deputy Commander Drifting Cloud is on the phone with the vice marshal. He should be a little late,” Li Zonghu came over and whispered in Li Tianlan’s ear.
Li Tianlan nodded casually. Seeing Prime Minister Reeker coming in, he said directly, “They are almost all here, so now…”
“Bang!”
The door that had just been closed by Reeker was directly pushed open from the outside.
The door slammed against the wall and made a dull and loud sound.
Drifting Cloud came in with a cold face.
Li Tianlan was stunned.
Drifting Cloud did not seem to have thought that there would be so many people in the conference room. After a moment of dullness, Drifting Cloud managed to ease his expression and salute Li Tianlan.
“Sit down.”
Li Tianlan asked, “What makes you so angry?”
Drifting Cloud’s expression changed again after he calmed down. It seemed that he was trying to suppress his anger. He shook his head and said, “It wasn’t very pleasant to talk to the vice marshal just now.”
“Hmm?”
Li Tianlan signaled for Drifting Cloud to continue.
Chen Qingluan would certainly not stay in Eyme. Li Tianlan had expected this. As one of the core high-level officials of the Beihai Corps, although they were enemies, Chen Qingluan was outstanding in both leadership and personal strength regardless of the standpoint. Otherwise, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai would not have transferred him to the Snowdance Corps and regarded him as the strongest force to counterbalance Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan was also surprised.
He had been in a coma for 10 days.
10 days was not long, but it was absolutely not short. During this time, Chen Qingluan had still stayed in Eyme and had not done anything until today. Just based on this point, Li Tianlan felt that he should give a thumbs-up for Vice Marshal Chen Qingluan’s patience.
Drifting Cloud looked even angrier. “The vice marshal means that Your Highness has been in a coma for a long time. The Snowdance Corps need someone to take charge of the overall situation. He will arrive in Recchi City tonight to visit you and temporarily take over the overall situation of Recchi City on your behalf.”
His loud voice directly spread throughout the whole conference room.
Li w.a.n.gsheng and General Yi stayed calm.
Lin Youxian listened with a smile.
However, the other high-level officials of the Snowdance Corps suddenly changed their expressions.
Li Zonghu, who did not have a good impression of Chen Qingluan, directly sneered and said, “To take charge of the overall situation on behalf of His Highness? Is he qualified to do that? What the h.e.l.l is that! Did he ignore the previous army order of His Highness? Does he want to take charge of the overall situation on his own?”
“Maybe he can’t.”
There was a hint of mockery in Drifting Cloud’s tone. “But if they transfer you away, he can do it.”
Li Zonghu was stunned, as if he had heard it wrong.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and did not speak for a long time.
Chen Qingluan was the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps.
In fact, the vice marshal was equivalent to the deputy general, but his ranking was higher than that of the two deputy generals, Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud.
If Li Tianlan could not give orders, Chen Qingluan’s position indeed qualified him to give orders on behalf of Li Tianlan.
If all this was barely normal, then it would be a little intriguing to try to transfer Li Zonghu away.
“That’s what he said?” Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
“Yes, he said that the division commander, Li Zonghu, should rest for a period of time and suggested that he should be transferred back to Eyme to defend it. He will temporarily take over everything in Recchi City on behalf of Your Highness,” Drifting Cloud said calmly.
His face looked very angry, but his eyes were unusually clear.
Li Tianlan laughed and looked extremely happy.
If Chen Qingluan had ignored Li Tianlan’s military order to take over the overall situation temporarily while Li Tianlan had been in a coma, it could be called his duty. But Chen Qingluan’s ambition was completely shown after he transferred Li Zonghu away.
If Li Zonghu was taken away by force, more than 10,000 elites of the Thunderbolt Battalion had to leave with Li Zonghu.
Although Chen Qingluan only had 5,000 people, those 5,000 people were also elites of the Beihai Corps and the Shadow Sting Army. Their fighting capacity was not much weaker than that of the Thunderbolt Battalion. They could also control the situation here.
If Li Zonghu took away his direct troop, everything in Recchi City, including Li Tianlan’s life, would fall into the hands of Chen Qingluan and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
If he did not take away the troop and went to Eyme alone, when necessary, the 10,000 soldiers of the Thunderbolt Battalion would be abandoned and slowly consumed in every conflict. By then, even if Li Tianlan woke up, without the direct force, it would not be of any use for him to be a marshal.
As for Li Zonghu disobeying the order, it was estimated that this was what Chen Qingluan hoped to see most.
The Special Warfare Battalion was usually more strict than the Army Headquarters, and its authority was also more free. In the sensitive period, the military orders of the Special Warfare Battalion were greater than anything else. If Li Zonghu dared to disobey, Chen Qingluan would dare to execute him for treason.
As long as Li Zonghu was taken away, it did not matter whether the over 10,000 soldiers of the Thunderbolt Battalion went or not.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud used to be a.s.sa.s.sins. But now they were inexperienced, so they could not beat Chen Qingluan.
Chen Qingluan, who had an absolute advantage in Eyme, could cooperate with the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in the name of the Snowdance Corps. It might not be long before the whole Recchi City would be under the banner of the Snowdance Corps.
As for Prime Minister Reeker…
It was impossible for him to change his position, but what else could it change?
Could Prime Minister Reeker be completely safe if the terrorist Jiang Qiansong could kill Carlos?
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
He had to admit that Chen Qingluan had found a good opportunity. There was nothing wrong with him except for being shameless.
But the premise was that if the plan was to be carried out successfully, Li Tianlan’s injury had to be so serious that he would remain in the coma for a long time.
Li Tianlan was now awake, so Chen Qingluan’s action was still a step late.
“He still doesn’t know the news that I woke up?” Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
Drifting Cloud hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “The news that Your Highness woke up was very sudden. Before I could tell the vice marshal, the vice marshal already hung up the phone. By the time I called him, he had already turned off his phone.”
Li Tianlan smiled again.
The others also laughed, and the smiles were meaningful.
“It seems that our vice marshal is very anxious,” Cool Breeze said with a smile and a playful look in his eyes.
“Don’t bother with him.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “We’ll wait for him to come.”
He suddenly turned to look at Prime Minister Reeker and asked, “How’s the collection of bodies of the Snowdance Corps’ victims going?”
Everyone was stunned.
No one thought that Li Tianlan would first mention this matter. In the chaos outside, Li Tianlan first cared about the corpses of the soldiers in his army. His thoughts were not right or wrong. But his att.i.tude was undoubtedly worthy of respect.
Reeker hesitated for a moment and said softly, “The Prime Ministers of Oga State and Ross State all talked to me on the phone. The Snowdance Corps has a lot of sacrificial soldiers. They hope Your Highness can give them some time.”
Reeker’s words really sounded helpless.
Everyone knew that as the Snowdance Corps had marched forward, the war had broken out at the border between Oga State and Wulan State. After that, all battles took place in Wulan State.
There had never been a flame of war on the lands of Oga State and Ross State.
But now, Li Tianlan asked for the remains of the martyrs from these two countries.
Reeker shook his head, full of bitterness.
“I don’t have time for them. At this time tomorrow, all the remains must be sent to Wulan State. I will personally hold a remains farewell ceremony in Hero Plaza. This is the last chance for Oga State and Ross State. If I don’t see the bodies, they will see the action of the Snowdance Corps,” Li Tianlan said coldly.
“One person less, one town lost. One group less, one city lost!”
This was what Li Tianlan had said at the beginning. For such small countries as Oga State and Ross State, such a threat was absolutely powerful.
The most important thing was that there were no corpses in the two countries, Oga State and Ross State.
The final result was decided by Li Tianlan, whether one person was lost or the whole city was lost.
Reeker sighed slightly. Even though his position was exactly the same as Li Tianlan’s, in such a situation, he still felt that His Highness was too bossy.
“Besides, is the Sword Emperor still in Recchi City?” Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
“Yes,” Drifting Cloud replied with a smile.
Li Tianlan nodded and said, “Well, for the remains farewell ceremony of the Snowdance Corps, I’d like to invite the Sword Emperor to come.”
After saying this, he thought for a moment and then shook his head. “Maybe it’s not necessary. I think we’ll see him by tonight. I’ll invite him personally.”
