The war between Huaxia and Twilight might seem like an accident but it was inevitable.
The Huaxia Federation had been suppressing their anger for more than 20 years. If it wasn't for the lack of evidence, they would have started a war with Twilight long ago. This time, they finally got their hands on the evidence so they wouldn't give up so easily.
As for the Twilight Empire, the emperor and the imperial court wouldn't sacrifice themselves. They would definitely fight to the death. It was obvious that the Huaxia Federation made this request to the United Nations to force Twilight to fight to the death with them.
The only power that could affect this war was the Caesar Empire. However, the Caesar Empire chose to remain silent and wait for the war between the two nations to break out.
War between nations! A war between nations! At the same time, the god-class operators would be released.
If there weren't any allies helping each other, no one would think that Twilight would be able to last long in this war.
Twelve god-class operators surrounded the three god-class operators of Twilight. The difference in strength between them was huge.
In reality, everyone knew that the Huaxia Federation wouldn't send out all twelve god-class operators to prevent other nations from ambushing them during the war. However, if they sent out five god-class operators, they would be able to secure the victory of this war.
However, war wasn't a simple calculation. There were many unpredictable external factors that could affect the outcome of the war. For example, other nations sending god-class operators to help Twilight …
Of course, once this happened, a world war would start. It would snowball and affect all the nations in the human world. Whether this would happen or not, all the nations had their eyes on Caesar. Caesar had the same number of god-class operators as the Federation so they were the only nation that could control the Federation. As for the allied nations of the Twilight Empire, they had always acted according to Caesar's wishes.
"Caesar is the only variable in the war between the two nations. We have to be careful." Yang Mingzhi looked at Caesar and frowned.
In Base Nebula, the higher-ups of the Lingtian Independent Army were discussing the current situation in a meeting room.
Han Jijun pointed to several countries in the other regions and added, "Also, be on guard against Calucci, Oubang, and Gadoli. Once Caesar makes a move, these Caesar Iron Allies will not stand idly by."
"If Caesar's Iron Alliance moves, our Iron Alliance will move as well." Liu Furong frowned and replied, "Then, a new world war will begin, and the Federation will be mired in the swamp of war … In that case, it will not be good for the general."
After all, they had started the war in the name of seeking justice for General Ling Xiao. If they could end the war quickly and merge with Twilight, Ling Xiao would truly reach the pinnacle of power. At that time, whatever he wanted to do, the entire country would support him unconditionally. However, if the war dragged on and the citizens suffered because of it, the general's reputation would plummet. If someone purposely caused this to happen, they might even be accused of invading the country.
"The only way to change this situation is to take down Twilight in the shortest time possible before Caesar makes a decision to join the war," Li Lanfeng said calmly.
Caesar had been silent all this while. They probably hadn't reached a consensus internally or were scheming something. However, this wasn't important. As long as the Federation acted quickly, they might still have a chance.
"I don't know who's the commander of this Nation War and which god-class operators are they sending out." Zilong asked. "In reality, as long as the Federation is willing to take the risk and send out ten god-class operators, it won't be a problem for them to take down Twilight in a short period of time."
"Ten god-class operators? Impossible. "Yang Mingzhi immediately rejected the idea.
"Why?" Zilong was slightly disappointed.
"The Federation has always prioritized stability. They must ensure the safety of the country before sending out any extra forces," Yang Mingzhi replied.
The Federation had been using this strategy for tens of thousands of years. This was why the Federation was able to survive for so long in this world. They would never let their country fall into a desperate situation. However, at the same time, they didn't have any shocking military achievements. The principle of neutrality was engraved in the bones of the Huaxia people. Even the current leader of the Eagle Faction, the First Marshal, wouldn't go against this principle.
"I estimate that they can only send out five god-class operators. This is already the limit. Maybe they won't be able to send any. " Yang Mingzhi sighed. In reality, he also hoped that they could send a few more god-class operators to take down Twilight in a short period of time.
"Then we can only place our hopes on the commander of the military. I hope that this commander will fight wisely." Zilong sighed.
"I know who the commander is this time." Ling Lan, who was sitting on the main seat and listening to everyone's discussion, suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? Who is it? "Zilong asked in surprise. As expected of Boss. He even knew about such a secret beforehand.
"My father, Ling Xiao!" His father had just informed him of this news last night. Since the military used his name to start a war, he had to control the situation in his hands. He didn't want to be pushed out by others if anything went wrong.
"General? That's good." Everyone's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, we can send another three or four god-class operators to take down Twilight."
General Ling Xiao was the most powerful god-class operator among the 12 god-class operators. It seemed that the Federation was really going all out to take down Twilight. They sent the most powerful god-class operator out of the 12 god-class operators they had.
"The 23rd division will definitely be the main force. What other divisions are there?" Li Lanfeng asked thoughtfully.
Although the 23rd division was an official division, it had only been established for a short period of time. Compared to the other divisions, it was not as strong as them. If they didn't have the support of other divisions, this war would not be easy.
"There's still the 4th division, the 13th division, and the 7th division," Ling Lan replied.
Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie were shocked. Although Li Lanfeng didn't show his face, his right hand clenched uncontrollably.
Li Yingjie exclaimed, "Why is it the 4th Division?"
Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong, and the other old mecha operators all knew about the 4th division. They looked at Li Shiyu and Li Yingjie with a serious expression on their faces.
"The 13th division is my father's division. The division the military sent out this time seems to have a motive." Zilong had a bad feeling.
"The 7th division is the division my father used to be in. Many of the officers there used to be my father's subordinates." Not only were the others shocked, even her father and her felt depressed when they found out that the three divisions were sent out.
The military's arrangement was too obvious. It was to reduce the amount of support Ling Xiao had.
Although the general of the 13th division, Qi Yaoyang, was under the Third Marshal, he couldn't hide the fact that his third son was in Ling Lan's independent army. This was enough for Qi Yaoyang to give Ling Xiao a lot of benefits. Sending him out to lead the army was probably a warning to Ling Xiao.
It was the same for the 4th division. The two successors of the Li family were in Ling Lan's independent army. Also, because of Ling Lan's incident, the Li family secretly supported the Li family. This was noticed by the military so it was natural for the Li family to be part of Ling Xiao's support.
As for the Seventh Division, although half of the people in the Seventh Division had died because they followed Ling Xiao into the tunnel of death, the remaining half formed a new Seventh Division. In the past 20 years, the Seventh Division had developed rapidly, and its battle prowess was close to that of the three great marshals. Also, many generals couldn't truly control the 7th division. This caused many people in the military to be wary of the 7th division.
Especially after Ling Xiao returned, they were afraid that he could secretly control the 7th division. After all, Ling Xiao was the deputy general in the past. This time, they sent the 7th division out to fight because they wanted to see the true position of the 7th division.
Seeing everyone's serious expression, Ling Lan said, "However, this isn't a bad thing. With my father in command, no division will disobey him. This is very important on the battlefield."
Ling Lan's words made everyone's expression soften a little. Looking at it from another perspective, the military's arrangement was indeed for Ling Xiao's good.
Firstly, the 7th division was very strong. It could make up for the weakness of the 23rd division.
The general of the 13th division was an invincible legend. He could defeat all mecha operators below the level of a god-class operator. This definitely gave Ling Xiao a powerful general who was on par with a god-class operator. Also, the 13th division's combat power wasn't bad. Even if it wasn't the strongest division, it was still above average.
The 4th division's combat power was weaker but with the Li family in the 4th division, they didn't need to worry too much about their logistics. On the battlefield, resources were also very important. It was even more important than combat power.
From the looks of it, the military had given Ling Xiao a perfect team. If the Federation's logistics had any problems, Ling Xiao would be able to handle it internally.
"We can only think of it this way." Everyone didn't want to think too badly of the situation. After hearing Ling Lan's words, they put down their worries. Then, they started to guess where the war between the two nations would start.
Just as everyone was talking about what they wanted to say, Ling Lan was thinking about whether she should talk to Ye Kui.
Her support on the surface had been taken away by the military. Ling Lan, who wanted to keep a trump card, had to think about finding a new partner. Of course, there were many people she could choose from. It didn't have to be the Ye family. However, coincidentally, the Ye family was by her side. Also, the Ye family seemed to have the intention of getting closer to her.
No!
Ling Lan thought about it seriously and decisively gave up on the idea. Those people in power in the Ye family were not good partners. Also, did she have any cooperation with the Li family? No, she never had. It was just that the third son of the Li family was by her side. The Li family had no choice but to help her.
Aristocratic families weren't easy to work with. If you didn't have the same level of strength, those greedy people in power would definitely eat you up. Ling Lan gave a cold smile. She didn't need partners who only cared about benefits. Ling Lan didn't need partners who only cared about benefits.
If her father was willing to work with her, then it was his business. Ling Lan knew very well that she still had that bit of loftiness in her bones. As expected, with her father protecting her, she was able to do whatever she wanted.
"Ling Xiao! What do you think about the military's order? "After Qi Yaoyang received the order, he immediately went to look for Ling Xiao.
"Your son is still with my son. It seems that he has touched some people's sore spot." Ling Xiao replied calmly. He knew about this earlier than Qi Yaoyang. Although he wanted Qi Yaoyang to stay out of this, he didn't succeed in the end.
Zilong's insistence on staying in the Lingtian Independent Army made the people in the Third Marshal's faction unhappy. This time, they wanted to teach Qi Yaoyang a lesson. They wanted him to understand that no one could be two-timing.
"Zilong doesn't want to leave no matter what. What can I do?" Qi Yaoyang was frustrated. If it was possible, he also wanted to transfer his son to the 13th division. Sometimes, being together wasn't the only way to protect each other. It was better to stay far away from each other.
"Forget it. We can't force our thoughts on them. Also, if we can't let them live the life they want, aren't we too useless as fathers?" Ling Xiao didn't mind. No matter how dangerous the situation was, he didn't want his son to bear such pressure.
"That's why I'm going to the frontlines with you." Qi Yaoyang shrugged. In Zilong's eyes, Qi Yaoyang was a strict father. He was even a tyrant who would beat him up if he didn't agree with him. However, in reality, Qi Yaoyang loved Zilong the most. Thus, in the end, he softened his heart and let him follow the person he wanted to follow and live the life he wanted to live.
Qi Yaoyang wasn't afraid at all when he was sent to the battlefield. It should be known that before Qi Yaoyang became a division commander, he was always at the frontlines. In terms of battle experience, no division commander could surpass him.
Qi Yaoyang was just worried that after he was sent out, there wouldn't be any higher-ups in the Federation's military who could help Ling Xiao.
After hearing Qi Yaoyang's worries, Ling Xiao instantly smiled. Although his smile was gentle, Qi Yaoyang could feel the coldness in his smile. "If I'm successfully plotted against, it will be because I'm willing to do it. No one can plot against me a second time. No one."
Finally, the Huaxia Federation issued an order for Ling Xiao to be the commander-in-chief of the Federation. This officially started the war between the Federation and Twilight.
"Baka, the Federation really started the war. The leader is Phoenix Ling Xiao." When Twilight received this news, the entire nation was in an uproar.
Not long ago, they were still hoping that Huaxia would only threaten them verbally and that they wouldn't really start the war. However, this order completely shattered their daydreams. If Huaxia really started the war, Twilight might really be destroyed.
"Caesar, ask Caesar to help us." The panicking citizens of Twilight placed their hopes on Caesar. However, when they sent out messages asking for help, they were told to wait. If they were really anxious, there would be no response.
"Did Caesar's father really abandon us?" Some of the citizens of Twilight who worshipped Caesar broke down and cried when they saw this.
PS: I went to the hospital today. They said that I'm too tired and it affected my facial nerves. My right eyelid can't be closed completely. That's why I'm crying. The doctor told me to rest well and not to tire myself out anymore. Otherwise, the effects would be even greater. My facial paralysis is just around the corner.
That's why I'm telling everyone that today is the last day to update at around 12 am. From tomorrow onwards, I will try to update during the day or before 10 am. If I don't update before 10 am, it means that I won't update today.
After I recover, I will inform everyone again. Also, thank you for your support during this period. I'm ashamed that I couldn't repay everyone.
