On the night of the invasion of Nelm, the floating island of Babylon was destroyed. The great clans had already withdrawn most of their manpower and supplies in advance because of their standoff with the Federation, which was operated by the fake President Alan at that time. Instead, they retained their vitality. In the subsequent ground war, although all the great clans contributed, the Federation army was still the main force in the ground war. Most of the clan's private armies played a supporting role, and the losses were limited. In the entire war, the Federation government suffered the most. As for the nobles, they also suffered some losses, but they were much less than the Federation. Especially a wealthy family like the Smith Clan, which had a deep background. The invasion war did not hurt them badly, and they still retained a huge amount of potential.
Of course, in terms of benefits. In the war started by the Nelms, the only one who benefited was the Bescot family. Before that, Old Horn's original Star Destroyer caused the Star Destroyer to fall to the ground, buying precious buffer time for the Federation's subsequent actions. After that, Allen attacked Mo Suo, forcing the people of Nelm who were fighting on Earth to choose to retreat, relieving the crisis on Earth in one fell swoop.
It could be said that in what was known as the Second Dawn War, Beth Cod, the old and the young, were in the limelight. Especially after the news of Allen's participation in the war spread, the family's prestige, which had already been greatly shaken by Horn, had now risen to another level. As a result, Bescot attracted a large number of talents to join in just a few months, bringing decades or even hundreds of years of talent potential to Bescot. It could be imagined that if nothing unexpected happened, this clan would continue to prosper and become stronger in the next hundred years.
In contrast, the situation of the Alexandrian family was not so optimistic. Before the night of the invasion, they were suppressed by Horn's layers of arrangements to the point that they couldn't lift their heads. After the night of the invasion, the people of Nelm attacked many factories and cities on the surface many times, several of which belonged to the Alexander family. Although the Alexandrian family had not yet reached the point of bankruptcy, they had no choice but to attach themselves to the Smith family. Compared to ten years ago, they were far inferior.
At this moment, Maine, who was sitting beside Wigg, no longer had the demeanor of a noble. He lowered his head slightly. Obviously, everything here was decided by Wigg.
Capullo wasn't in a hurry to answer Wigg's previous words. Instead, he sized up the two of them. His gaze lingered on Maine for a long time with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Since when did the Alexander family and the Smith family become allies? The world is changing so fast that I'm a little at a loss. "Garp laughed and said," Mr. Main, you're actually a talent. It's a pity that you were too hasty. If you hadn't underestimated Horn and Bescot, you wouldn't have ended up like this. To put it nicely, they were allies of the Smith family. To put it bluntly, it's, hey. "
He didn't continue, but Maine wasn't stupid. How could he not know what Capullo meant? His face immediately flushed red, but he buried his head even lower to prevent Capullo from seeing the anger in his eyes. Capullo knew exactly how Maine would react, but he didn't care. Instead, he looked at Wigg and saw that Wigg was smiling and indifferent. He knew that the Smiths didn't necessarily value Maine as an ally. Otherwise, he would have stood up to protect Maine's honor. With a simple sentence, he could test the general attitude of the two clans. This information was enough for Capullo.
The old lion coughed dryly and said, "Our close ally has left and shouldn't be coming again for a while." According to Mobius's temperament, the foreign enemies had been cleared, so the next step was naturally to clean up the interior. Although I took the opportunity to pull the Golden Lion out of the Federation military system because of the fake president, I had been operating for many years before I did this to ensure a smooth transition of the Golden Lion. Finally, my decades of forbearance were not in vain. "
Capullo grinned at Maine and said, "Mr. Main should learn from me. If you want to achieve great things, you have to learn to endure. Isn't there a saying in the East that if you can't bear it, you have to deal with a big shot like Old Horn?" If it were me, I wouldn't have touched a little fellow like Allen. If I wanted to deal with him, I would have had to deal with a big shot like Old Horn. "Unfortunately, although Mr. Main is smart, he has obviously used his intelligence in the wrong place, which is why he is covered in blood."
The corner of Maine's mouth twitched and he forced a smile. It was just a fake smile that looked very ugly.
Capullo took a puff of his cigar and continued, "How should I put it, although I've been preparing for this for decades." However, it was still unjustifiable. Previously, due to the common enemy of the Nelm people, the Golden Lion still maintained its establishment. Now that the war was over, many officers and soldiers in several divisions had resigned. I can understand their feelings, and I'm very happy, because they still remember that they are soldiers, and they still have the honor of soldiers. I don't stop these people who want to leave. They have the right to do what they want. Even if they rejoin the Federation Army and become my enemy in the future. But at least today, I'm proud of them. "
"In other words, the next establishment of the Golden Lion is probably only half? Or even less? "Wigg asked with a smile.
"That's a possibility." Capullo nodded and then added, "But it doesn't matter. As long as I'm alive, the Golden Lion will always be a lion. And now that the war is over, you two should know how many cities have been destroyed and how many people have been homeless without me. So if the soldiers are gone, they can still be recruited. It won't be long before the Golden Lion will return to its original establishment, and it will even be larger than before. "
"Looks like my lord is very confident in the future of the Golden Lion." Wigg nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'm not afraid to tell the truth when I visit you today. What happened in the Federation has already chilled us. Although it was because of a fake president, it showed how big the loopholes in the Federation were. Otherwise, how could that fake president named Alan take advantage of the loopholes? Now, both Big Brother and I have lost confidence in Mobius. There are quite a few people who think the same way as us, and several families have already revealed the same thoughts. We just want our families to take root in the right soil. Obviously, Mobius can't give us such soil. "
"If Lord Capullo is willing to set up a new government, then our families will be happy to support a new government with an expert like you and an army like the Golden Lion." Wigg glanced at Maine and said in a relaxed tone, "After the first War of Dawn, Earth was governed by a regime. Now it turns out that the model of a governing body is no longer suitable for the current situation. Perhaps the Federation must admit that people want to have other governing bodies to choose from, not just the Federation. "
Maine nodded in agreement.
Garp smiled and said, "Brother Wigg, you don't have to test me. Did I let the Golden Lion leave the Federation just for fun? Of course, my goal was to get myself a president. I've been a marshal for decades, and I think it's time for me to get a promotion. It's just that Mobius won't be willing to do what we think, I'm sure. Before he kicked the Nelms away, Mr. President had already planned how to settle accounts with people like you and me after expelling the invaders. "
Wigg said calmly, "Of course. If I were Mobius, I would have the same idea. However, Mobius is only one person in the end. He can't decide what others think, can he? "
"That's right, so he will ask for negotiations next. Naturally, negotiations are fruitless, so the only thing left is war. " Capullo leaned forward slightly. "War is my old job. You don't even know that during the decades I avoided the New Party, I didn't think about war every day. I didn't know how hard it was to endure it. So if Mobius wants to fight, I'll fight with him. The question is, Brother Wigg, are you ready? If you're going to support me, I don't want it to be just empty words. If you invest, you will become Mobius's enemy. I want to know, are you guys ready? "
The corners of Wigg's mouth curled up. "We are also businessmen. How could we not know the risks of investing? However, rather than investing in Mobius and getting nothing in the end, it would be better to gamble on Lord Capullo's side. So before the visit, Big Brother had already said that as long as Lord Capullo was willing to form a new government, the Smith Family and Alexander's army could be handed over to Lord Capullo to fill the void of the Golden Lion. "
"Alright!" Capullo said cheerfully, "In three days, I will officially announce that the 17th and 18th districts on the surface will be my administrative district. Tomorrow, I will meet with the leaders of the Light Concealment Society and the Gate of Freedom. If nothing unexpected happens, the three of us will reach an agreement to form an alliance. "
"If I were Mobius, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep from tonight onwards." Wigg laughed.
The news of Wigg's meeting with Capullo that day was presented to Mobius in the form of intelligence in the evening. Mobius looked at the intelligence and sighed, letting Windsor Bellow take a look as well. As Marshal Greed's face was filled with killing intent, Mobius said in a deep voice, "What I was worried about has finally happened. Capullo is indeed unwilling to be lonely." The Smith and Alexandrian clans were planning to support his golden lion, and after these two clans, there should be other clans joining. Now that Capullo has soldiers and money, I would also call myself a king. "
