#572 - Rain and Mist Tea

Approximately two hours later, Liang Yue rearranged the northeastern laborers on the train, attaching the carriages heading towards the Siberian Plain to the return tracks.

After inspecting the train's power system and confirming it was in good order, he headed east, running along the railway line back into China.

Before long, he overheard a group of Japanese soldiers discussing the location of their so-called Imperial Japanese Army's temporary headquarters.

So, after casually wiping out this group of Japanese soldiers near the border, he eagerly advanced towards the northeast.

He flew and fought his way through, flattening any Japanese soldier squads or military assembly points he encountered.

In areas with Chinese civilians, he primarily used hair manipulation and precise marksmanship to engage the enemy. As for Japanese military bases, secret bunkers, and other hidden structures, he directly leveled them with large-scale magical techniques.

In short, Liang Yue spent the next week doing essentially this.

Regardless of the uproar and discussions his actions might have caused in the outside world, Liang Yue himself had gained a lot of inspiration from the killings during this time.

He gained insights into how to specifically identify targets, quickly achieve effective kills, and effectively integrate his complex skills and magical system!

It must be said that sometimes things are just like this. You may seek something desperately and fail to find it, and no matter how hard you think, the reasoning only stays on the surface.

Now, suddenly changing the environment and the way of thinking, the thoughts in Liang Yue's mind became clear all at once.

In fact, to sum it up in one sentence, practice makes perfect!

While constantly traveling throughout the Northeast region, carrying out devastating blows against the Japanese soldiers stationed in various settlements, Liang Yue gradually realized his strengths and weaknesses in this killing.

This was an experience that he could not receive in the dungeons before.

After all, even the highest difficulty level of Diablo 2, Hell mode, couldn't make him face a situation like this, where he was facing ten thousand enemies, or even eighty or ninety thousand, or a hundred thousand enemies.

Before, in the World of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Liang Yue had encountered a considerable number of Mongolian soldiers on the battlefield, but at that time, his realm was not high enough, and he was still ignorant of his own cultivation and path, remaining at the superficial stage.

He had never put in practice and closed-door meditation like he was now, in order to create a method and find a path suitable for himself in the complex path of evolution.

In short, Liang Yue's situation now was probably that he met the right self at the right time and place, and he had all three advantages of timing, location, and people.

"...Sect Leader, your previous actions have put a lot of pressure on our Republic of China government. Recently, the European and American powers in the international arena have been scolding us a lot."

"It's just that the fox grieves for the rabbit. They originally wanted to support Japan to contain our China, as well as the previous bear. Now that Japan has suddenly lost five or six hundred thousand soldiers,

their vitality is greatly damaged, and it will be difficult for them to do anything in a short time. The civil war in Russia is still going on, and now that our China lacks containment, those Europeans will naturally jump up and down."

"That's right. I heard that recently, as news of the destruction of those Japanese soldiers in the Northeast spread, Britain and France have begun to accelerate the progress of the war, and they are planning to send more troops to Russia recently.

I think they are also anxious. Even if they lose more soldiers, they are not willing to leave us too much time for development and digestion. Also,

I heard that the faction in Russia seems to have some unpopularity in its program and slogans, which makes the Western European countries very afraid, even the German Emperor and others."

"But due to the pressure of the war, the Allied forces have not given up their support for them, right?"

"That's true, but judging from the current situation, the Allied countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary have begun to run out of steam, and the war materials in all aspects have begun to run out.

Even~ the payment for the military fire and weapons under our Liuyun Sect has begun to use various antiques and jewelry. Of course, it is the batch they robbed from us back then."

"They can only support it until the end of the year at most, but compared to these countries of the Allied forces, I am more optimistic about the force in Russia. The organization is very strong, and the will to fight is also very strong.

You can try to absorb some of their advantages."

"But~ Sect Leader, their main feature is to nationalize all land, emphasize the union of workers and peasants and armed power, and oppose exploitation, which is too difficult for our China."

"Well, you can try it first. As for reforms, I don't care about the internal affairs of China. As for the external affairs, I will watch the northern area first. That's it."

...

On top of a high cliff, one side of the steep mountain wall faced a vast expanse of water.

The water was vast and sparkling.

Groups of water birds were soaring freely in the sky, chirping.

While flying, they would occasionally turn into sharp arrows, plunging into the water, and then flapping their wings, proudly picking up a plump fish and flying away quickly.

This vast water area is Lake Baikal, which is also the North Sea in the traditional Chinese sense.

On the steep mountain wall, on a balcony carved out from the inside of the mountain, Liang Yue had just turned off the communication device in his hand.

Beside him, Hinata, who had appeared at some point, had very considerately brought him a cup of spiritual tea.

The fragrance of tea was rising with the water mist, interspersed with a clear wave of spiritual power. The green liquid was crystal clear, and under the reflection of the white porcelain cup, it was as dazzling as a gem.

This spiritual tea was the only precious species among the three-grade spiritual plants that Liang Yue and the others had extracted from the primary spiritual medicine bag.

Its name is~ Rain Mist Spiritual Tea.

Long-term drinking can subtly achieve the effect of enhancing the soul and spiritual power.

After the careful cultivation of Xiao Zhao, Nana and others, as well as the inherently superior plant growth environment in the MC world, the Rain Mist Spiritual Tea finally grew its first wave of tea leaves.

It is very precious!

More than two months have passed, and the northern hemisphere has quietly arrived in summer.

After Liang Yue's turmoil, although the Japanese side was extremely frustrated at the beginning due to the serious loss of its military power, with five or six hundred thousand troops directly wiped out in the Northeast,

they held many times various severe diplomatic letters and diplomatic notes.

They even united with many European and American powers to put pressure on China repeatedly and threatened them many times.

But after they passed this period of mad dog energy and began to gradually calm down, they began to become low-key and restrained.

Before, Yuan Datou contacted Liang Yue here, mainly for the purpose of informing him about the upcoming cleanup of Japanese remnants in China.

The target involved was the issue of Japanese opium planting and trafficking in China.

Some well-informed members of the National Government, after learning that Liang Yue had won a battle on the front line and had also taken away the five or six hundred thousand Japanese troops stationed in the Northeast,

immediately felt extremely excited, and almost immediately gathered a group of people and began to seriously and confidently discuss the necessity of domestic drug prohibition in the National Assembly.

Subsequently, they spent another month passing the drug prohibition bill in the National Assembly and raised it to a formal legal provision.

However, legal provisions are ultimately just words on paper. If you want to truly implement them, you must have a strong and powerful national violence agency.

This involves multiple parties' interests and entanglements, which is very complicated.

If you really want to ban drugs, judging from the current operating efficiency of the National Government, even if you are determined to really implement it, it will take at least five or six years.

If you don't look at the domestic situation, just talk about the interests of external forces in this regard.

With the various drug products of European and American powers having gradually withdrawn from the Chinese market today, the first to bear the brunt is the Japanese.

Of course, you have to pick the soft persimmons first.

After experiencing a painful loss, the Japanese at this time, at least on the surface, have begun to consciously shrink their defenses.

The military forces stationed in China under various pretexts have also been strictly prohibited from causing trouble.

In this case, if you don't take the opportunity to beat a drowning dog, do you still want to help them raise military expenses?

As a result, the National Government at this time also rarely showed a little toughness, and the north and south sides reached an agreement on this matter.

Soon, they will begin to clean up the Japanese-contracted drug planting bases in the country.
