Just as the Northern Expedition suddenly started in exclamation, the Northern Expedition also quietly ended in exclamation.

Just as the World Union Army headed by the Judicial Parliament was about to attack the defense line of the Northern Expedition Army of the Republic, just as the God of Death and the Dragonborn were about to be separated from their strongest names, Chang'an Commander passed all the way to the front line.

During the command of the commander, Marshal Hui of the Republic lifted Leng Yuan's command of the Northern Expedition Army and ordered all soldiers to return immediately. At the same time, he extended an olive branch to the Federal Heavy Industry Corps diplomatically and agreed to resolve the matter through negotiation.

Such an emergency can be said to be very unexpected, or it can be said to be expected. After Leng Yuan's military power was lifted, he lost his direct command of the Northern Expedition Army, and the soldiers were forced to accept the words and harmony.

In the World Joint Army, under the negotiations between the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, it did not continue to fight with the retreating troops of the Republican Qi. All combat forces, including the Apocalypse-level judges, retreated from the battlefield and started negotiations on post-war handling.

The final battle of the Northern Expedition was extremely large in terms of momentum, but the real scale of the battle was very limited. Of course, this did not affect the record of this battle that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Although Arthur Pandragon, the leader of the Knights of the Cross Church, died under the power of the Dragon, he was worshipped as a hero because he dared to be the first to participate in the battle. Many minstrels wrote legendary songs for him, making him famous for his generation.

Before the battle, Leng Yuan ordered people to carve a coffin and erected a tombstone to engrave the words "The Tomb of Leng Yuan, the General of the Republic," and put the two on the front line to fight to death, which also left her the famous name of "standing the monument to fight the barbarians with a horizontal coffin".

In the final result, this Northern Expedition did not fulfill the dream of a unified republic.

Although the Republic of China actually controlled the war-torn area between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the north of the Yellow River is still in a fierce conflict zone.

The northern rebels took advantage of the situation to move south with the acquiescence of the Federation and firmly grasped the three northeastern provinces of "Liao, Ji and Hei". Although their power was not as strong as before, they were still eyeing the southern territory, and friction and firefighting occurred frequently within the territory.

Of course, is this Northern Expedition that was costly and damaged the people and the money that made the Republic's glory lose its troops and generals meaningful? It has! And it is of great significance!

First of all, the most direct meaning is that the Glory of the Republic seized several major production areas and solved the food problems in the country.

Second, Leng Yuan's powerful force and the red blood of the Red Army gave the Federal Heavy Industry Legion a great deterrence, especially the deeds of killing Cycrops in the last battle, which made the federal senior officials realize that there is such a terrifying dragon descendant in the Glow of the Republic and that they should not be moved lightly.

Because of Leng Yuan's existence, the federal direct force intervention in the Republic of China had basically disappeared, and was replaced by soft infiltration interventions in economic, cultural and political aspects. The confrontation between the two sides gradually disappeared under the waves and lurked in the undercurrent.

The last meaning, and the most debated meaning in later generations, is the rise of hawks.

This Northern Expedition not only killed the front line, but also the same was true for the internal glory of the Republic. At the end of the Northern Expedition, military camps in various places mutiny on a large scale, and bloody conflict broke out under the "fuse" of some soldiers.

During the mutiny, the dove-subject city defense construction army suffered heavy casualties, and the middle and senior management of various military regions changed blood, and the hawks took advantage of the situation and took away the once unbalanced power in one fell swoop.

The first soldiers in various places who fired guns and caused conflicts were later found to be all under the old subordinates of the late Republic General Leng Luan, which could easily cause some associations.

Just like Leng Yuan’s “defeated in the snow field” is a real defeat or a false defeat, later generations have been arguing, and the military mutiny at the end of the Northern Expedition is also a topic of debate: Did this happen by coincidence or was it planned early in the morning?

Some people even began to study the original purpose of the Northern Expedition, assuming that this massive bleeding mutiny was not a coincidence, but a premeditated "hawkish power seizure plan", then the significance of the entire Northern Expedition would be completely overturned!

If the true face of the Northern Expedition was the "power seizure" action that Leng Yuan had long designed, in order to create such chaos in the late stage of the war, kill a large number of dove-level middle and high-level generals through mutiny, and let the hawks take advantage of the situation, then this Northern Expedition would not be the so-called Northern Expedition, but a huge conspiracy!

In this way, what is "The Edict of the Anti-Bandits", what is sealing the wolf's residence, what is defeated and going to the snow field, what is erecting a monument to fight against the barbarians, are all just a wave used to cover up the conspiracy!

Similarly, the issue of food production, the rise and fall of the world, the avenge of the country, and the people who can get the right place. The wandering sons return home are all victims of hypocrisy and righteousness!

If this is true, then this Northern Expedition was not launched for the people or for the country at all. It is a stepping stone to the rise of the hawks!

Before, the political system was stable and the hawks could not attack the doves in power, but the later stage of the Northern Expedition destroyed the stability within the Republic and made it storm, and the hawks had the opportunity to attack the doves!

In that mutiny, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. Even if it is sent to a military court, it faces the problem of lack of evidence and difficulty in accusing it.

Moreover, after the mutiny, the hawks took advantage of the opportunity to take bloody power from the doves' corpses, which made the central system unable to stop it, because this phenomenon is not individual, but large-scale!

If another coup is launched and these rising hawks are suppressed again, then the federal officials will be happy and will watch the glory of the republic every day and kill them in the dark, and eventually become a third-rate country.

Therefore, the rise of hawks has become an irreversible fact, and thanks to this Northern Expedition, it was a situation that could be called a "national crisis" at the end of the Northern Expedition, which gave them the opportunity to rise.

However, no one can guarantee that this is not a coincidence. Will everything really be just some unexpected situation arising in a specific situation?

History is always an unpredictable Wanhua Mirror. What is the most thorough truth of the matter? It is no longer possible to explore. I am afraid that only Leng Yuan and Leng Luan know.

Leng Luan is dead, so it is impossible to ask her.

Leng Yuan is still alive, but even if she asks her, she won't answer.

The cold wind in the northern border blew by, blowing away the lives of a large number of loyal and martyrs. Many people did not even leave their names, turning into a cold number in the war.

They all have flesh and blood, people they hate, and people they love deeply. Like you and me, they are passionate and colorful, but they turn to ashes, just like the torrent of the times, appearing and sinking, and when they look back, they have left no trace.

The stage called the world is cruel. Some people make a brilliant appearance, while others end quietly. It is just a never-changing carrier, wearing the sun, moon and stars, overlooking the vast crowd, day after day, year after year.

What else will happen in the future of this stage? What kind of highlight will be left in the future? No one knows the answer...

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it seems so valuable that countless heroes are desperate and keep struggling in the whirlpool of fog, setting off huge waves that drive history, covering the sky and the sun...

The big waves wash away the sand!
