Chapter 209: Despicable? Noble.
"Good morning, everyone. Let's begin the military meeting now." In the conference room, Song Yufeng sat comfortably at the chair, flanked by Lin Yuxia and Tallulah. The other cadres sat in other seats in the conference room.
Song Yufeng looked very energetic today. This was also the first military meeting after Xiao Jin's death. Everyone was relieved to see Song Yufeng, who had recovered his spirit. The previous sacrifices and the leader's low mood made them very sad, and the morale was generally low. But now, Song Yufeng was so energetic that they were also encouraged.
Unconsciously, they have become dependent on their leader.
Song Yufeng looked at everyone, then at Lin Yuxia. Lin Yuxia immediately took out a report and said, "Everyone, we have some bad news to inform you. We just received news that after the natural disaster, although half of Qie City was destroyed, its main driving structure was not damaged. At present, the Ursus army has occupied Qie City and has begun to march towards Yan Country."
"As expected, even though we won tactically, we failed to save Qie City strategically..." Chen said somewhat disappointedly.
"No, in fact, we have achieved some strategic goals. For example, we consumed more than 300,000 troops of Ursus. Even for the Ursus Empire, the loss of more than 300,000 is a heavy blow. Two of the remaining armies remained neutral under our persuasion. Apart from some conventional troops defending the north and other places, Ursus can only use three or four armies to attack Yan Country, which greatly relieved the pressure on Yan Country." said old man Helag.
"Yes, this is good news. I have already issued a warning to Yan Country, and they are already on high alert. However, there is also bad news. I just received a tip-off saying that at least two armies in Ursus are gathering, and it is very likely that they will launch an attack on western Ursus." Song Yufeng sighed.
"What?! Doesn't the Ursus Empire really have any reserve troops?" Old man Helag was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this time the Ursus Empire really came out in full force. No army group was idle, even the Ursus Central Army Group guarding the capital was dispatched.
The Patriot was naturally stunned for a moment, then he said: "Unprecedented... coming out in full force..."
What on earth are the Ursus leaders thinking?
"So, is there any plan to retreat? Do we have to convince those two armies not to remain neutral and help us defend?" asked Tallulah.
To be honest, this is unlikely. The current battle situation does not mean that the balance of victory is tilted towards Song Yufeng's side. It is good enough that the two armies are willing to maintain neutrality. If they are asked to join, even if there is a slogan of "clearing the court", they will probably not really take action. To put it bluntly, interests come first.
"Everyone, actually, I called you here because I already had a plan to retreat, but this plan is so despicable and dirty that it is difficult for me to make up my mind to implement it, so I want to tell you about it and let everyone discuss it." Song Yufeng said.
"Please speak, Song Yufeng. All is fair in war. As long as it works, it's fine."
Song Yufeng looked at everyone, then sighed and said, "Do you remember that we have a million infected people gathered here? These infected people will be the key to our defeat of the enemy."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Song Yufeng meant.
"Everyone should know what happens after the infected person dies?" Song Yufeng said.
"Ah, the bodies of the infected will turn into dust, and a large amount of Originium powder will be released. These Originium powders will float in the air. Once inhaled by non-infected people, they will be infected with mineral sickness and become infected." Yaye said.
When Yaye finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone looked at Song Yufeng with incredible eyes.
"So... Song Yufeng... you want to..." Herag widened his eyes. He didn't dare to say what he was thinking. Others also had guesses, but no one dared to say this terrible idea out loud.
"This is my plan," Song Yufeng said. "We'll have some of the late-stage Ore Disease infected serve as suicide squads. The number shouldn't be too large. We'll then charge the Ursus army, or we can use aircraft to transport them to the enemy camp. When they die, their rapidly worsening Ore Disease will immediately cause their bodies to turn into Originium dust. This will cause a large number of Ursus soldiers to become infected, causing chaos and even internal strife, ultimately leading to their withdrawal."
Icy.
It's too cold.
This was the first reaction of everyone present after hearing the plan.
"Song Yufeng, is this really a good idea?" Alina stood up and said, "Let's not even talk about anything else. What if the other party has experience with this kind of thing? What if they take immediate countermeasures? The body might be disposed of before the Originium is even reduced to dust."
"Then use the catapult to throw the corpses that are about to turn into Originium dust into the enemy camp. This way they will definitely not have time to deal with them." Song Yufeng clenched his fists.
It is hard to imagine how much pressure Song Yufeng is under when he talks about this plan. He felt uneasy even when he came up with this plan, let alone speaking it out now.
"I cannot agree to this plan!" Chen immediately stood up and said, "Have you forgotten what our path is? We want to protect the infected, not kill them, let alone use their bodies to create more!"
"This doesn't conflict with our path." Song Yufeng's heart was in a knot, but he still said coldly: "If these seriously ill patients with the mineral disease don't die, and we fight the Ursus army head-on, more people will die, and those who die are all precious combatants. Think about it, who will have more critically ill patients with the mineral disease, or more combatants? This plan is the most suitable for us."
Huang and others also clenched their fists. They didn't like this plan, but it could not be denied that this was indeed the best plan.
To achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, but is this really right?
The meeting room fell silent again.
After a long pause, Song Yufeng said, "If there are no objections, then we will proceed according to this plan. Regarding the subsequent ideological work and compensation for the families, Lin Yuxia, you will be responsible for following up."
"Okay, okay..." Lin Yuxia said blankly, as if she was still thinking about the previous topic.
"Dismiss the meeting." Song Yufeng said. He saw Chen said nothing. No, to be precise, everyone walked out of the meeting room without saying a word. Some people were still stunned, obviously thinking about the plan.
After everyone left the conference room, Song Yufeng slumped in his chair. He had endured unimaginable pressure today. He sighed tremblingly and asked himself: "Did I really do the right thing?"
