The days that followed were relatively calm. The African Union had Billing's 70,000 mecha troops, and their lives seemed to be much better. As for the two alliances, they did not send troops to launch a new war.

Speaking of the two alliances, after experiencing the rebellion between Marac and Bicklin, they seemed to become cautious and no longer as crazy as before. However, Hu You knew that it would be a matter of time to rekindle the war. Jiang Nianzu was originally a war madman, and he had a more crazy and aimed at destroying the martial world. A big battle was destined.

What we need to see now is when the battle will start.

Hu You now has not enough soldiers and does not have much money. Taking the initiative to start a war between the two alliances early would be a birthday boy - looking for death. Although he knew that the more he would hold him, the stronger the enemy he was about to face would be, Hu You still could not take the initiative to start a war at this time.

The China Alliance has been delayed for so many years, and the gap between military strength and the two alliances is too big. It takes time to develop, and the more the better.

Hu You wanted to take advantage of the current situation to develop military strength, but not everyone thought so much like Hu You. So, when I woke up early this morning, Hu You received a news that someone told me that the forty cities in the east had been separated by the two alliances for more than a year, and it was time to take it back.

When Hu You received this news, he was so angry that he almost cursed. The Chinese Alliance had only been calm for a few days, and these people began to heal their scars and forget their pain. Should the forty cities in the eastern region move now?

The main reason why the Chinese Alliance can be calm at present is that Marac and Bicklin are turning against each other. Marac's turn against each other caused great changes in the situation in the forty cities in the eastern region, and Bicklin's turn against each other blocked the march route of the two alliances, which made the Chinese Alliance temporarily leave the battlefield.

But even so, the two alliances still have heavy troops in the forty cities in the eastern region. Once the Chinese Alliance has a military operation to recover the forty cities in the eastern region, the two alliances will never ignore it. By that time, it is absolutely inevitable that the war will rekindle.

It was finally easy for the two alliances to calm down for a while. It was the best time to develop strength. It was not a good idea to start a war now.

Hu You didn't want to receive the forty cities in the east, but this matter was too urgent. If you want to fight, you have to wait until your wings are grown before fighting. The current China Alliance is not good, and even a few hairs grow. If they don't start a war, they will push up without caring. Isn't that asking for death?

Hu You knew very well, not everyone was like Hu You. In less than a day when the news came out, the call for retrieving the forty cities in the eastern region was like being thrown into a pan, getting hotter and hotter.

In the eyes of many people, Marak's turnaround and his failure to advance to the African Union all reflect that the military strength of the two alliances is not as strong as imagined. Some even say that the two alliances are paper tigers, which look very powerful, but in fact there is nothing scary. But if the Chinese Alliance soldiers enter the east, forty towns that originally belonged to the Chinese Alliance can immediately return to the embrace of the Chinese Alliance.

In order to make this point more convincing, some people posted big newspapers on the streets. Not only did they analyze the possibility of reclaiming the forty cities in the east, but they even posted a slogan "Forty children in the east have left their mothers for too long and should return to their mother's arms."

For a moment, the crowd was excited.

************************************************************

In just three days, the remarks of retrieving the forty cities in the eastern region were hyped up. Even Hu You didn't expect that such a slightly rational proposal would be unrealistic in such a short period of time that the quarrel was almost the same as the will of the whole nation. Hu You, who had not been prepared to pay attention to this matter before, could not sit still. He decided to meet the veteran general Zhang Zhen and see what he meant.

Zhang Jun has a very high prestige in the army. As long as he does not agree with the dispatch of troops to the forty cities in the east, no matter how quarrels outside, it is just a talk and there is no possibility of any military action.

Hu You came early, Zhang Zhen had just taken a walk and was having breakfast now.

"I think you should be here too. Today's millet porridge is good. Have some together?" Zhang Zhen asked Hu You angrily. From his face, I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Okay, I haven't eaten millet porridge for a while." Hu You took his seat with a smile. This was not the first time he ate with Zhang Zhen at the same table, so there was no need to be so polite.

Today's Xiaomi porridge was really good. Hu You took a sip and felt that the unique fragrance of Xiaomi slid from her mouth to her stomach, making her whole body feel so comfortable.

"Elder General, what do you think about the recovery of the forty cities in the eastern region?" After praising a few words of Xiaomi porridge, Hu You got to the point. Zhang Zhen's attitude is of great importance to this incident. Hu You must first understand his ideas before taking corresponding measures.

"What do you think?" Zhang Zhen likes to drink tea after dinner. At this moment, he is holding the black tea he just made and blowing carefully.

"Now is not the time to start a war, and it is not suitable for both economic and military." Hu You said without hesitation.

Hu You thought Zhang Zhen would agree with him, but after hearing what he said, Zhang Zhen lowered his head and looked at the black tea in his hand for a long time, which made Hu You feel cold.

Could it be that Zhang Zhen hopes to fight, or is that the public opinion this time supported by Zhang Zhen?

Hu You didn't want to think so, but Zhang Zhen's reaction made Hu You not think about this aspect. Hu You can become the prime minister of the China Alliance precisely because of Zhang Zhen's support. If Zhang Zhen has differences with Hu You on this issue, then Hu You will become very passive.

After a long time, Zhang Zhen said, "Forty cities in the east have been separated for too long."

Just this sentence made Hu You's heart sink to the bottom. Zhang Zhen said the conclusion that Hu You didn't want to hear the most.

"But we cannot compare with the two alliances in military affairs now. You also know the economic situation. Li Bingqing has just joined us for a few days. Even if she is a god, she cannot bring us a lot of military spending within the time limit." Hu You was fighting for, and he hoped that Zhang Zhen could change his mind. It is definitely not a wise move to enter the forty cities in the east now.

"If you can send troops to help the African Union, won't you help us fight? The forty cities in the east are an integral part of our China Alliance. If you take it back, it will not only provide great economic support for the people, but also provide great economic support."

***************************************************************

"Let's have a drink first, and the meal will be ready soon."

Hongye and Hu You have been together for more than 20 years. Just looking at Hu You's face, you know that Hu You and Zhang Zhen should not have reached a consensus. She did not rush to ask about the situation. Instead, she gave Hu You some calm time.

Hu You nodded, took the tea and drank slowly. He couldn't understand why Zhang Zhen had to regain the forty cities in the eastern region so resolutely, and he made a decision without discussing with him.

Hu You is not a fool. He knows that if he takes back the remarks of the 40 cities in the East without the support of powerful figures, it is impossible to hype it up in just a few days. Now it seems that even if the supporters of this matter were not Zhang Zhen at the beginning, Zhang Zhen is still the absolute main force.

When the two of them had dinner, Hongye only cooked two dishes, one braised pork and the other stir-fried vegetables. Braised pork was loved by Hu You, especially the braised pork made by Hongye himself. Hu You would enjoy it every time. But today, Hu You almost never moved.

"No matter what, it's not as big as a meal, right?" Hongye held a piece of braised pork into Hu You's bowl. Today's braised pork was prepared before Hu You came back. It was not affected by Hu You's emotions at all. It was bright red and shiny, and you could tell it was delicious at a glance.

Hu You put the braised pork into his mouth as if chewing wax. Now he is really in the mood to eat.

"Hongye. Why don't the old general support me? Now we want to take back the east, we really don't have that strength." Hu You said bitterly.

This martial arts world is not the Tianfeng Continent. The Prime Minister of the China Alliance is also the leader of the Immortal Bird Legion. Hu You can't make a decision. Even though he knew it was wrong, Hu You had to surrender under the great force. Prime Minister Hu You was elected only with four votes. These four votes were voted for Hu You because of Zhang Zhen, and today he could oppose Hu You because of Zhang Zhen.

If you lose Zhang Zhen’s support, Prime Minister Hu You will have to step down. Hu You don’t care about the position of Prime Minister, but after so many years of hard work, can Hu You not care about it?

How much sweat and how much price I have paid for this little achievement today. Although Hongye has returned to her side, there are countless relatives and friends waiting for Hu You to save in Tianfeng Continent. Is it said that if you give up, just give up?

There is an old saying: Give up freedom.

With Hu You's ability, if you want to live a good life in the martial arts world, there will be no problem at all. But that's not Hu You's pursuit. Besides, there is no end to the collapse of the nest. The entire martial arts world is gone. Where can his good life come from?

Hongye cannot give Hu You an answer. She has seen Zhang Zhen, but she has only seen him once. She can say that she has no understanding of Zhang Zhen at all. She doesn't want to give Hu You a wrong answer at this time.

"Do you have wine?" Hu You suddenly wanted to drink a glass. He was not looking for a drunken drink, but just wanted to relax himself. Wine is a good thing, and he can let people put down unsatisfactory things for the time being. This is also the reason why it has been prosperous for thousands of years.

"Yes, I'll get it." Hongye did not persuade Hu You. She understood Hu You and knew that Hu You would not be defeated by such a thing. If Hu You were so fragile, it would have been over long ago. How could she have support until today?

******************************************************************

Liu Bodu looked for Hu You later for supper. He frowned when he smelled the alcohol on Hu You. But seeing Hu You clearly knew it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have received the news, too." Hu You knew what Liu Bodu came. This afternoon, Zhang Li publicly expressed his willingness to receive the eastern region. As a military advisor, if Liu Bodu couldn't see what this meant, then he would be too unqualified as a military advisor.

Liu Bodu nodded and said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"

"How are the reactions of others?" Hu You asked resentfully without answering.

"The enthusiasm is very high. They all hope to take back the eastern region." Liu Bodu shook his head. In this regard, his idea was the same as Hu You. He also knew that it was not a good time to use military force in the eastern region now.

"It seems that this battle must be fought." Hu You sighed. Zhang Zhen's public remarks mean that he has already made up his mind. The words he said are often the same as the water he poured out, and he can't take them back after he says it.

Liu Bodu hesitated for a while and said, "If you insist on not fighting, there is no way."

Yes, Zhang Zhen and a group of legion commanders who received support from the East are indeed higher than Hu You in terms of qualifications, and their control over the Chinese Alliance is also higher than Hu You. However, Hu You's efforts in recent years have not been in vain.

Take the mecha troops as an example. So far, all the mecha wars in the Huaxia Alliance were commanded by Hu You personally. From creation to maintenance, the mecha troops, and even the money and food of the troops, were provided by Hu You. Hu You dare not say that the more than 10,000 mecha soldiers in many places with Hu You fighting against Hu You, at least 80% of the orders of Hu You, Marak's troops, and Huang Guangliang's Red Spider troops were absolutely on Hu You's side. To be honest, Hu You already had the capital to fight against old-fashioned forces in the Huaxia Alliance.

"Did you let me resist?" Hu You said what Liu Bodu wanted to say. This is his home, and there is no outsider, so there is nothing to say. If Hu You didn't even have the courage, he wouldn't have the status he is today.

"This is the only way to stop the situation from developing. If the mecha troops do not move, no matter how powerful they call, they will not be able to move the eastern region. I am afraid that they will not be able to get through the long river."

Liu Bodu's move is to remove the fire from the bottom of a pot. The current war in the martial arts world has changed from traditional war to mecha warfare. Mecha is the main force of war. If the mecha troops do not move, then what to do to take back the eastern region is just a talk.

This method cannot be said to be bad, but once Hu You did this, he turned against the Huaxia Alliance. Yes, Hu You can let the mecha troops listen to him. But there are only a few mecha troops now. Even if Hu You can pull all these mechas aside, in the future, can you conquer the world with tens of thousands of mechas?

In addition, all the people who control the mecha are from the Huaxia Alliance. They are soldiers of the Huaxia Alliance, and their parents and relatives are from the Huaxia Alliance. If Zhang Zhen and the others were also cruel and declared Hu You as a traitor or even an undercover agent of the enemy, would these soldiers still persist with Hu You?

Hu You is not from the China Alliance.

When Hu You is used, no one will catch this point. But when they want to suppress Hu You, this is a good card.

************************************************************

From Tianfeng Continent to the Martial Realm, Hu You has experienced many struggles. He knows that struggle is cruel. Once both sides tore their faces apart, they will use any tricks without caring about it. The current situation of the China Alliance is not good, and under such great external pressure, another internal struggle will occur. Can the China Alliance have a future?

Hu You did not agree with Liu Bodu's suggestion. It was a way to drink poison to quench thirst, which would only make the situation worse and would not be helpful to reality.

"You decided to fight too, did you?" Hongye didn't say a word when Liu Bodu was there, but just listened quietly.

"This is the only way now. Unless according to Liu Bodu's advice, just send troops."

"It is always better for the troops in your hands than in others' hands, so that at least you can speak and not make the situation worse." Hongye understood what Hu You meant. The mecha troops have always been commanding by Hu You. As long as Hu You support the dispatch of troops in the east, the commander will definitely be Hu You.

"The situation is already very bad now." Hu You shook his head. He was very upset by being forced to start a war like this. But what can I do? His foundation in the Huaxia Alliance is too shallow. It is impossible for him to do whatever he wants like in Tianfeng Continent. Others can only obey and will not have any objection.

"Have you ever thought about it?" Hongye asked suddenly.

"What?" Hu You didn't understand Hu You's words.

"Change this unfavorable situation." Hongye said.

"you mean?"

"Build your own army like in the Tianfeng Continent. Only in that way can you develop according to your vision." Hongye said.

"Build your own army." Hu You murmured. At this moment, he thought of the City of Hope. Yang Mutian's lifelong hope was to form his own forces. For this reason, he had successfully established a city. Unfortunately, due to the accident in Qinghe Ye District, he was trapped in that barren land. The twelve stars were like dragons without heads, resulting in the final failure.

Go to the City of Hope and reorganize the twelve-star statues. Can you build your own power?

Bai Zirui supports Hu You, and Marak and Huang Guangliang cooperate with the China Alliance because of Hu You. There are also the African Union of Bikerlin and Abu, Zhao Hongqi, He Fuqiang and others...

After careful calculation, Hu You is no longer the one who has nothing at the beginning. With nearly ten years of hard work, he has his own network of relationships, a few brothers who are desperate, a group of friends who are willing to work with him, and those who are willing to serve him.

Speaking of his heart, Hu You was really moved at this moment.

If you have your own troops, you can be free from being influenced by others. Isn’t that great if you do everything according to your own ideas?

But, everything is so beautiful. The martial arts world is not the Tianfeng Continent. More than a dozen people, seven or eight guns, can hold up the flag of rebellion. The resources on hand are far from enough.

"It's not the time, it's not the time." Hu You suppressed this beautiful idea. But it was like a seed, constantly growing wildly in his heart.

Now is not the time, in the near future. Will there be such a day?
