Chapter 17 The Prelude to the War

Under He Taiping's guidance of "If there is no Super Girl, then it's super man and super man", the first Super Girl Talent Competition slowly came to an end with praise. Without mentioning a small number of drowned doubts, this national entertainment event can be regarded as a joy to everyone.

For many women from poor backgrounds, this Super Girl show gave them a stage to show their own charm, and a few of them really dreamed and got the opportunity to sign a contract with Paradise City Film and Television Company. Although most of them would flash like meteors and even no one cared about it in just half a year, perhaps there are still a few who can rely on their own strength to find their place in the future acting career. Even if they will be the future Naga, it is not entirely a luxury.

As for the wives and daughters of nobles or wealthy merchants, most of them just want to gain an identity or show off capital, but they are not really planning to embark on the road of acting. He Taiping naturally also took advantage of the rampant and used various awards made up by racking his brains to satisfy them. Of course, some of them do have a good foundation and dream of investing in the film and television industry, Paradise City Film and Television Company is naturally willing to become a beauty and give them the same space for playing as those ordinary women.

Of course, nearly one million viewers, as a mass base, also experienced great fun from this Super Girl Talent Show. Although under the instigation of He Taiping, they suffered material losses and gained great happiness in their spirits. This kind of happiness of devoted themselves to one thing makes up for their long-term spiritual emptiness and find a way to vent their venting after heavy work.

Therefore, when the Super Girl Awards Gala was officially held in Constantine, about 100,000 people participated in this celebration event that belonged to them. He Taiping presented prizes and trophys to the three Super Girls who won, and welcomed them to join the Paradise City Film and Television Company. At the party, he also announced in public that the Super Girl Talent will be launched again at the same time next year, and at the same time, with the start of the Super Girl Talent.

These two good news made the audience cheer and applaud, and many young men began to look forward to whether they would have the opportunity to stand on this glorious and gorgeous stage next year. But unlike their joy and excitement, He Taiping, who received a temporary notice from the envoy of the palace, curled his smile after getting into the carriage, and his frown expression fully predicted that a treacherous worry finally became a reality.

During the dull journey of dozens of minutes, he finally walked into the palace chamber accompanied by the envoy. Isabel and Andre had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing him coming, Isabel, who was impatient, couldn't wait to stand up and shouted: "Who, the damn Duchy of Mufat, has indeed sent someone to send a letter of condemnation."

"Don't panic, I'll look at the letter first." He Taiping took the letter from Isabel and hurriedly read it. Before reading it formally, he looked at the end of the letter. At that position, he was not only Richard II of Mufat, but also Pope Nicholas of the Holy See.

"In other words, are they going to jointly put pressure this time?" He Taiping sighed slightly, and began to read the letter formally. Excluding the words of public culture, the whole letter actually talked about two things - first, asking Queen Isabel and Prime Minister Lawrence to sit down and negotiate the distribution of power; second, asking for the starting of the priesthood, allowing the Holy Church to enter the principality for inspection, and gradually accepting the state religion status of the Holy Church.

"They really dare to mention it, I am really convinced." He Taiping smiled and handed the letter back to Isabel. "Then your majesty, how do you plan to reply to this matter? The Duchy of Mufat and the Holy See put pressure on them, and perhaps they will bring the Duchy of the Netherlands to make up the numbers... Hehe, this lineup is huge enough."

"My answer is just two words, get out!" Isabel snorted coldly. The swear words that spit out from her mouth made me feel so cute for the first time. "Campas's business is our own business. When will it be Mufat and the Holy See turn to point fingers? As for Lawrence, I don't want him, he is already giving him face. I want me to negotiate with him... I'm gonna be!"

This was the cutest answer He Taiping had ever heard. He smiled slightly and looked at Andre beside him. The latter immediately coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I think so too. If you accept such excessive conditions, Campas will probably disappear from the map soon. So, even if we know that this will trigger a war, we must stick to our own position."

There was firmness in his faint words, and Isabel had stretched out his palm and hanged in the air. He Taiping and Andre looked at each other and reached out to put them up at the same time. The three of them held tightly and smiled at each other. After a moment of silence, He Taiping spoke: "So, since the opinions have been unified, we will only have the last question - how should we resist if Mufat, the Holy See, and even the Netherlands launched an attack on us?"

This issue is truly worth discussing. According to the information obtained so far, Mufat has 300,000 troops, and it is expected that the country can mobilize 250,000 troops during the war. The Netherlands' troops are slightly weak, but mobilizing about 100,000 is not a problem. As for the Holy See, he can dispatch a maximum of 10,000 Knights, but the combat power of this 10,000 people is probably not much weaker than that of the 10,000 troops.

"In other words, are we facing an attack of 450,000 troops?" He Taiping slowly stroked his chin and thought about Campas's military power. During this period, after large-scale recruitment and elimination, Campas was able to participate in the war with about 200,000 troops. In addition, the dark race armed forces in Paradise City had a total force of about 350,000, which was not completely at a disadvantage. If Campas's defensive advantage was included, he would still have a few chances of winning if he had to resist the attack of the coalition forces of the two countries.

"Come with me, let's take a look at the map." Andrei pondered slightly, took Isabel and He Taiping to the front of the map, pointed to the two areas above and said: "Although the enemy's strength is better than us, in my opinion, there is actually nothing to choose from for their attack route, it is nothing more than these two locations - the Dark Desert and the Petro Grand Canyon."

"The dark desert is located in the north of the Principality of Campas, and the Petro Grand Canyon is located in the south of the Principality. In other words, the coalition forces of the two countries will likely choose to take a two-pronged approach and launch an attack on us from two directions." Taking out a red pen to make a red mark on the two areas, Andre pointed to the Petro Canyon and said, "But I personally think that if the commander of the coalition forces of the two countries has a mind, he will not invest too much force in the Petro Grand Canyon.

"That's right, the passage in this canyon is too narrow and easily ambushed, so it can only be used as a surprise soldier." He Taiping nodded slightly, agreed with his opinion, and then pointed to the location of the dark desert and said: "Then, the main attack route they really chose should be the dark desert. The terrain there is wide, and it can directly pounce into our Campas, which is a good means of attack."

"So our defensive offensive should be built in the dark desert area and block them outside the country's gates." Andrey added: "As for Petro Canyon, I think it's enough to let Siad's lord, Chuad, come to defend. Dear brother, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. Xiuda is a very good candidate." He Taiping smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and exchanged a heart-to-heart look with Andre. Xiuda has been working hard to develop Siad in recent years. It is said that it has reached a scale of 50,000 troops. In addition, he can summon those low-level skeleton soldiers to fight at any time, so it is not difficult to guard the Petro Canyon. In this way, the only thing the Principality has to deal with is the front line of the Dark Desert.

"Actually, do you know? I suddenly had a very good idea." Looking at the desert that once had the name of darkness but has now been razed to the ground, He Taiping suddenly showed a strange smile and said lightly, "I think, since the coalition forces of the two countries want to pass through this desert, they always have to eat, drink water and rest! Well, if that's the case..."

He said this, paused for a moment, turned to look at Andre. In Isabel's unclear gaze, the two men showed evil smiles at the same time, and said softly: "Dark creatures! Who else is more familiar with the dark desert than those dark creatures? If we send them into the desert and harass them in the form of a small team..."

In a moment, the two men who liked to stab someone in the back the most had reported more than a dozen vicious plans, including poisoning, sneak attacks, harassment, noise, quicksand, and fire prevention... Isabel was stunned when he heard it, and finally couldn't help but shiver, and observed three minutes of silence for the troops that might attack Campas. That might be the most rogue tactic they have ever encountered.
