Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 988 - 55: The Thinking of Ordinary People Is Very Simple
The primary reason the Iron Blood Society is difficult to handle is because it’s hard to distinguish who’s a true fan, who’s a fake fan, and who’s an infiltrator.
Don’t ask, because once you ask, everyone claims to be loyal.
However, everyone has their own thoughts about how to be loyal.
Some are willing to die for the President, carrying the burden for him.
Some want to help the President become an enemy of the entire world.
Others think they are the only true love, while everyone else is just a commercial army paid to support...
There’s every kind of situation, you can’t generalize.
So it’s no wonder Liuye Camp turns the guns inward.
Liuye Camp is not a good bird, and Wang Yunxiao admits this.
But only such a force can avoid being absorbed and assimilated by the Iron Blood Society.
Wang Yunxiao has clearly seen the problems the Mu Family is facing now.
The Mu Family has gradually withdrawn from the military, but as long as the old man is alive, the influence of King Mu’s Mansion over the military will not disappear.
Many people want the Mu Family to make a statement, but the Mu Family just wants stability.
Thus, in the eyes of radicals, they are not radical enough; in the eyes of conservatives, they are too conservative.
Last year, there was a mutiny within the Qilin Army, but thanks to timely suppression, it didn’t cause too severe consequences, providing some people the excuse to defend the troublemakers.
Young people, it’s normal to be passionate, and the intention was good, so why not just give them a lesson instead of making a big fuss?
If a soldier doesn’t have some courage and bravery, what is he a soldier for?
Mu Yushu doesn’t dare to release them.
The saying goes, military orders are as rigid as mountains.
The old man said the same things to Wang Yunxiao.
If a general can’t even manage his own soldiers, what kind of war is he going to fight? Just go home and dig potatoes!
He dares not release them, yet he couldn’t kill them.
Those captured are excellent young officers within the Qilin Army, including orphans of military families. If they are executed, the morale will be shattered.
Because Mu Yushu doesn’t release them, these old brothers complain against him privately, even scheming behind his back.
Mu Yushu invited Wang Yunxiao to his home to talk with them primarily to figure out what these old men are scheming behind his back.
Now the world is at peace, businesses are thriving, don’t create a scandal for me!
If there is indeed a problem, handle it early or cut ties early to avoid getting yourself in trouble.
"The idea of attacking Fusang is false; it’s merely an empty trick to deceive the young."
Wang Yunxiao talks individually with these old guys, and each of them insists on going to Fusang again. Last time, following the President to build the Capital View, they didn’t fully solve the problem.
Now another National Salvation Warriors Association emerges, and a bunch of samurais and rangers buzz around like flies disturbing the people’s minds.
This isn’t an ordinary rebel. We must use severe measures to strike hard!
One Capital View is not enough, build another!
It does sound like a very tempting suggestion; even Wang Yunxiao is somewhat moved after hearing it.
But the question is, what’s the significance?
Apart from providing emotional value, what practical benefits does it offer?
The cake on the Fusang side is currently in the Navy’s hands.
Are you planning to fight the Navy first? To prove you’re more loyal than the Navy?
"They may not have the idea to use Fusang people as punching bags, but the idea to use this topic to recruit young people for the Iron Blood Society is something they not only have but are also very eager for."
Don’t complicate a simple problem.
The old soldiers of the Qilin Army, when it comes to combat power, it’s not an exaggeration to say they are invincible.
But when it comes to conspiracy and schemes, they surely can’t match certain professionals who can create earth-shattering big schemes.
So after summarizing the information obtained from these people, Wang Yunxiao doesn’t think very deeply about it.
Instead, he reversely adopts a commoner’s perspective.
What do they want?
"The primary aim is definitely to replenish blood. After last year’s suppression, many have questioned the legitimacy of this organization. So they urgently need to use more radical rhetoric and ideology to encourage new members to join."
"Secondly, I think their biggest problem now is leaderless dragons."
There isn’t a qualified leader who can unite the resources of the Iron Blood Society and truly utilize them.
Their vision is too high.
Having experienced two generations of leaders, Mu Yanling and Xu Ziwei, the Qilin Army has already been honed into a truly proud and brave battalion. When Xu Ziwei took off the military uniform and entered politics, there was no third person capable of making these proud soldiers obey.
Unless...
"I believe their true goal is to find a suitable heir to the President."
The old emperor didn’t have such worries because he could establish a Crown Prince.
Even if his health was poor, adopting a child from the royal family wasn’t a problem.
Never heard of any dynasty collapsing due to a lack of an heir.
But Xu Ziwei doesn’t have an heir; she has no children.
Moreover, the government’s system has undergone radical changes, and the President is not appointed for life.
In other words, the current President can only serve for a maximum of two terms, afterwards he will be replaced by some random person.
This is what these old soldiers can’t accept in any case.
In the past, they were loyal to King Mu’s Mansion, but then King Mu’s Mansion decided to wash its hands of the affair.
Now loyal to the President, but in two years, the President will step down.
What are we supposed to do?
What about our future generations?
"That’s reasonable, but finding another leader comparable to the President isn’t easy."
Mu Yushu pondered for a while and reluctantly accepted Wang Yunxiao’s explanation.
This was indeed an issue he hadn’t thought about.
The people of the Mu Family have already come ashore, but those old brothers haven’t.
However, speaking of which... The reason why Xu Ziwei could inherit Mu Yanling’s legacy, besides Mu Yanling’s own opinion, was a very important reason: her identity as the Dragon Maiden.
The Dragon Maiden during the transformative period.
Now, there’s no Dragon Maiden... On the same level as Xu Ziwei, there’s only the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations, Black Dragon Princess from Fusang, and Young Master Huang from the Four Seas Commerce Guild on the Federation side.
Limited to this.
None counts as an "heir".
"Without a Dragon Maiden, why not create one yourself?"
Wang Yunxiao offered a clear suggestion.
Even Jesus can descend; even Lilith can be created.
No Dragon Maiden, can’t you create another?
Setting aside the technical difficulties for now, will they have such an idea?
Mu Yushu frowned deeply, unwilling to admit it but had to confess that the idea sounded indeed quite tempting.
But... is it really possible to create a Dragon Maiden?
"I’ve heard the reason the old man lived such a long life is because back then, General Mu Yanling transfused his blood, leaving the old man with his true dragon blood?"
Wang Yunxiao smiled and said: "I don’t understand the technology; perhaps you can ask someone if this true dragon blood can be drawn out and reused?"
Mu Yushu was shocked and startled.
