"Now that the attitude of Grand Xia is unclear, we can't act rashly."
Leo was very wise. "How about this, let the frontline command think of a way to delay the withdrawal as much as possible on the pretext that the frontline is tense."
"Understood!" The prime minister nodded.
"In addition, we will send out a secret envoy group to contact Great Xia to express our goodwill."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do it well!"
… …
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
In a week, the North African Army of Grand Xia had reached Panama City, and the Brave Tiger Army led by Li Xiucheng had captured Bogota City.
In view of the Dawson Dynasty's additional 100,000 troops, Han Xin temporarily dispatched the First, Second, and Third Armies of the Brave Tiger Army to immediately advance west and attack Panama City together with the North African Army.
The South African Army on the left was still on the march.
May 24th, Liberty City, Dawson Dynasty.
This week, Jack had a torturous time.
First, when Casillas received the news that the Dawson Dynasty was preparing to withdraw, he flew into a rage and almost pointed at Jack's nose and cursed.
"I trusted you so much, but you played me!" Casillas was very angry.
The Argentine region was an important part of supporting the Spanish Dynasty's global status. At the thought that the Argentine region might be lost, Casillas felt as if a large piece of flesh had been cut off.
Jack tried his best to persuade Casillas and didn't hesitate to promise all kinds of benefits before he was able to slightly appease Casillas. He also comforted Casillas not to lose the big picture for the small.
"Conquering the Germanic Dynasty is the right thing to do," Jack said.
As the Egyptian army was blocked in the south of Spain, the Germanic Dynasty was once again in trouble. The situation did not improve, and they had to recruit troops on a large scale.
What was even more difficult was that with the blockade of the Mediterranean Sea route, some of the materials that the Germanic Dynasty urgently needed to import, such as iron ore, immediately became scarce, tormenting Manstein.
The European battlefield was covered with dark clouds.
For this reason, the Azure Badge also constantly urged Grand Xia to do a good job in the logistics of the Egyptian army and fulfill the agreement.
How could they know that the Atlantic Fleet was still active in the Mediterranean Sea, but there were only two formations. With such little capital, how could Ouyang Shuo dare to face the three allied fleets head-on?
It was just a promise, and a turning point would soon appear.
In addition to Casillas's anger, Leo's "disobedience" made Jack more passive.
For the next few days, Jack urged Leo to hurry up and help Dawson's army retreat from the front lines, but Leo would always say that the situation at the front lines was too urgent and that he wouldn't be able to leave in time.
Every time, Leo would reply, "Tomorrow, tomorrow we will definitely retreat!"
However, one day after another passed, and the battle at the eastern front of the Indian Empire was still intense. Jack even received intelligence that Leo was mobilizing troops in the country.
There were signs that the troops were not used to reinforce the Colombian region, but to be sent to the front.
The two of them had completely different thoughts.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jack had no choice but to do Leo's work, either by threatening or enticing him. Unfortunately, Leo didn't fall for it at all.
This was a blow to Jack.
Only now did he realize that the global deterrent power of the Dawson Dynasty was not as strong as he had imagined.
Given this, Jack had no choice but to order the Dawson Dynasty's army to retreat from the front lines as quickly as possible, even if they had to pay a small price.
The war in Colombia was in a precarious situation.
As for the debt with the Brasilia Dynasty, it could only be settled in the future.
…
May 25th, Jingshi.
The special envoy of the Brasilia Dynasty finally got in touch with the Chamberlain of Dependencies of Great Xia after several trips and expressed the goodwill of the Brasilia Dynasty to Great Xia.
His words implied that he was looking for another backer.
For this matter, Ouyang Shuo specially summoned Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, and Du Ruhui, three ministers, for a discussion.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we ignore the Brasilia Dynasty and follow the plan. After conquering Colombia, we will immediately march into the Brasilia Dynasty."
Du Ruhui's attitude was clear. At the same time, she was full of confidence in the American Theater of Operations under the command of Han Xin.
For the sake of this war, Great Xia had made many arrangements. They could not easily change their target just because of a friendly gesture from the Brasilia Dynasty.
"I think we can talk about it. If we can accept it peacefully, there is no need to use force." Jiang Shang was more inclined to accept the goodwill of the Brasilia Dynasty.
It was not that Jiang Shang was afraid of trouble, but there was another reason. "The overseas territories, especially those with a large number of mutants, are much more difficult to govern than the domestic territories. Using barbarians to control barbarians is the basic national policy of the empire. In the long run, subduing Leo is far better than using force to conquer the Brasilia Dynasty. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement.
With the cancellation of the trial grounds, Great Xia would inevitably encounter the problem of governance by the mutants. Southern Border was fine as it was in the same cultural circle as China, so the mutants were less resistant.
Africa was barren and relatively easy to govern.
However, South America, especially the Brasilia Dynasty, was the polar opposite of China's civilization. If they wanted to forcefully promote the Han culture there, it would cause a backlash.
The best way was to use barbarians to control barbarians.
Ouyang Shuo was also worried that if they forcefully conquered the Brasilia Dynasty, they might drive the mutants from Brasilia to the Dark Night Empire.
Wouldn't that be benefiting others at their expense?
After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo said, "Then we will talk to them. There are only two conditions. First, the Brasilia Dynasty must unconditionally submit to Great Xia. This is the main premise. "
Great Xia did not need any vassal states at the moment.
"Of course, although they are submitting, the imperial court will still give them a certain degree of autonomy. We will also treat all local talents equally and even give them priority. "Ouyang Shuo stated his principles once again.
"Second, let Leo intercept the army that the Dawson Dynasty left in Brasilia as a sign of allegiance. Without this, there is no need to discuss anything else. "
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The eyes of Jiang Shang and the other two officials lit up.
This was a brilliant plan. They could test the sincerity of the Brasilia Dynasty.
If Leo succeeded, he would become a mortal enemy of the Dawson Dynasty. Only by relying on the protection of Great Xia would he be able to survive.
If Leo didn't do it and wanted to bet on both sides, there was nothing much to say. The army would act according to the previous plan and conquer the entire Brasilia Dynasty.
Leo was the only one who could govern the Brasilia Dynasty.
… …
Brasilia City.
The next day, Leo received a reply from the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
After reading it, Leo fell into a long silence. He didn't expect Great Xia to be so ruthless.
"Should I do it or not?"
