CHAPTER 1016: CHAPTER 1016 LIFE-AND-DEATH SPEED (10)

Jessica hastily supported his arm, "I’ll take you back."

"No need." Will glanced at Moses in the ward, "You stay and help here; I’m fine on my own."

An assistant already jogged to Huangfu Jue’s side, "Duke, Princess... We just received news that General Barton has mobilized a large number of troops to Chihe and established a camp there."

Upon hearing this news, Will also stopped in his tracks, frowning worriedly.

The Northwest Army is immensely powerful, accounting for almost half of F Country’s military strength. If General Barton truly intends to use force, the situation will become extremely dangerous.

While the assistant was reporting the latest situation to the two, Helen’s phone also rang. It was staff from the Royal Palace informing Gan Yuan, also about General Barton’s military movements.

Gan Yuan frowned, "Is he serious about this?"

Huangfu Jue gently shook his head, "If he’s smart enough, he shouldn’t really open fire. He probably just wants to apply some pressure on you."

"That old fox wants to embarrass me in front of the whole world." Gan Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Ajue, keep an eye on Xiaotang. Jessica, you take good care of Moses. Helen, let’s go."

Huangfu Jue grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going?"

"To meet General Arthur," Gan Yuan replied.

After she issued her orders, just as she predicted, except for the Central Army Corps, the other corps dodged orders with various excuses or simply didn’t respond.

To make the other corps obey her, she had to win over General Arthur of the Eastern Army Corps, to show the other corps that she, the Princess, wasn’t just all talk. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to truly establish her authority.

"I’ve heard of this guy," Huangfu Jue frowned, "Let me go in your place!"

Gan Yuan turned her head, smiled at him gratefully, her lips slightly lifted, "If I can’t handle even one Arthur, what right do I have to govern this country? Or... don’t you have confidence in me?!"

She knew Huangfu Jue wanted to help her, but some things she decided to do herself.

Now, the whole world was watching her, and she had to prove to everyone that she had the capability. Only this way could she truly earn the respect of her people.

Huangfu Jue certainly understood this too, agreeing with her ideas, though still a bit worried.

After some thought, he pulled Gan Yuan to one side and spoke softly.

"That guy has a hot temper; you need to handle him carefully. Also, he’s always loved playing golf, though very poorly. You should have your men look for him there."

Gan Yuan laughed softly, nodding slightly.

Raising his hand, Huangfu Jue comfortingly placed it on her shoulder.

"You don’t have to be overly anxious about this matter. I’ll handle some necessary tasks first, then draft a cooperation exercise method between our two countries. You go discuss it with your parliament members, and get their approval. When the time comes, I’ll dispatch the Air Force. If he truly wants to get rough, I’ll flatten his Northwest Army!"

Once the two countries reach an agreement, Huangfu Jue can dispatch his Air Force to the sea, transporting them to the northwestern sea area of F Country by carrier. Then, with just one command, in a few hours, the entire Northwest could be leveled flat by the Rose Air Force Legion.

With A Country’s military strength and capability, dealing with a General Barton is more than sufficient.
