Great Xia's "disruption" made the feudal lords, who were still in a daze, wake up. They temporarily forgot about Planet Hope and put in more effort to start the war of annexation in the game world.
The first to bear the brunt was the European battlefield.
The Germanic Dynasty continued to use the remaining troops to restrain the Gangdor Dynasty, and at the same time, increased the intensity of their attack on the Gaul Dynasty.
They had to fight it out.
There were also rumors that King Henry of Gaul, who was about to collapse under the pressure, had already had a secret conversation with King Manstein of the Germanic Dynasty.
The two dynasties seemed to be looking for a way to resolve the dispute to avoid both sides suffering losses.
According to the Black Snake Guards, the Prime Minister of the Germanic Dynasty, the famous Prime Minister of Iron and Blood, Bismarck, was recently having a secret meeting with the Prime Minister of the Gaul Dynasty, Richelieu.
Both Prime Ministers were god-level talents.
All signs indicated that the European continent was about to usher in a major change.
The Romanov Dynasty did not want to be outdone. Taking advantage of the Germanic Dynasty's preoccupation, they wantonly occupied the northern territory of the Germanic Dynasty and expanded the strategic depth of the capital, St. Petersburg.
As for the Caesar Dynasty, it was difficult for them to do anything big.
…
Year 10 of Gaia, 10th of March, Jingshi.
The war of Persia had already broken out. One after another, the field army crossed the border and brazenly charged into Persia, setting off a war of the century that would affect the new structure of Asia.
Massive amounts of rations and supplies were also continuously being transported to the frontline.
The abundant rations and supplies in the South Asian Protectorate ensured the logistics of this war, allowing millions of troops to enter the war without any worries.
Facing the attack of Great Xia, the Persian King issued a war mobilization order, and at the same time, issued a level one war readiness order, saying that they would use the power of the country to resist the invasion of Great Xia.
The Persian King even shouted the slogan "Defend my country, protect my home!" to boost morale.
What made people helpless was that because of the destruction of the City of Hope, Ouyang Shuo's popularity among the players exploded, and some people made him the best candidate to open up Planet Hope.
Therefore, the Persian players were unusually passive in this war.
If Ouyang Shuo really took the initiative to open up Planet Hope, he would be the savior of mankind, a great hero, and Great Xia would fully deserve to be the overlord of the world.
Merging with Great Xia would not be so unacceptable.
It was not difficult to understand why the Persian players chose to watch from the sidelines.
The "passive response" of the Persian players caused the Persian army to lose their convenient communication network, and their scouting ability was greatly reduced. When faced with the attack of the Great Xia army, they became increasingly powerless.
The scales of the war tilted in favor of the Great Xia from the very beginning.
At this moment, the Great Xia army, which had conquered India, was in high spirits. With the momentum of a great victory, they had the attitude of the hegemon of Asia and were moving unhindered within Persia's borders, seizing cities and seizing territory.
Wherever the army went, blood flowed like rivers.
Fresh blood dyed the Great Xia flag red, strengthening the might of the Great Xia army and forming an unstoppable momentum.
Heaven and earth were shaking, and so were the enemies.
The invincible image of the Great Xia army, which was invincible and all-conquering, was quietly spreading throughout the Persian Empire, further crumbling the will of the Persian army to resist.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, this was an asymmetric war.
Furthermore, Great Xia's Indian Ocean Fleet had firmly sealed off the coast of the Persian Empire, causing the maritime trade of the Persian Empire to come to a standstill. Not a single merchant ship could enter or leave the port.
This was undoubtedly a disaster for the Persian Empire that relied on imports.
The Persian Empire was immediately plunged into internal and external troubles.
Great Xia's attack on the Persian Empire was all-encompassing, causing the Persian Empire to be unable to resist at all.
Defeat was only a matter of time.
The development of the situation surprised even Ouyang Shuo. Before this, he didn't realize that Great Xia had already become a global empire and the hegemon of the seas.
Great Xia actually didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure when it came to conquering a medium-sized country like the Persian Empire.
From this, it could be seen that in terms of overall national strength, military strength, and other aspects, Great Xia's strength had already far surpassed that of the other empires.
Even the Dawson Empire found it hard to catch up to them.
Perhaps, at the moment when India was conquered, the deterrence that Great Xia had accumulated around the world had already reached a peak, transforming into a superpower of the entire world.
In the game, there was a new situation where one superpower had many strong players.
"This kind of outcome shouldn't simply be attributed to fate." Ouyang Shuo was deep in thought.
During the ten years of Gaia, Great Xia's global plans weren't just limited to the Persian Empire. At the military and political conference before the new year, Ouyang Shuo and the other ministers established a new round of strategy for Great Xia.
It was a magnificent blueprint.
Time was of the essence. Seeing that the resource planet was already in sight, Ouyang Shuo's vision wouldn't just stop at the Persian battlefield. As long as there was a chance, the new plan would be implemented very quickly.
In the ten years of Gaia, it was time for this huge game of chess to be completely reeled in.
With Great Xia's current development, it wouldn't take more than a month to prepare for a war. And once they attacked, it had to be decided in one battle.
Hesitation or procrastination weren't the style of Great Xia.
The Great Xia that Ouyang Shuo had created was a ferocious beast. Once it locked onto its prey, it would strike. In comparison, the war in Europe that had dragged on until now was like a child's play.
Even the initiator, Ouyang Shuo, didn't expect that the war in Europe had dragged on until now without a decisive outcome.
The Europeans were famous for being a troublemaker and petty bunch.
… …
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
"Has the information been confirmed?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Sitting opposite Ouyang Shuo was the commander of the Black Snake Guards, Black Snake, who was in charge of overseas intelligence. "Your Majesty, the information is absolutely true. The Gaul Dynasty and the Germanic Dynasty are going to regroup."
The information revealed by Black Snake was enough to shock the world.
As the information was too crucial, Black Snake didn't hesitate to personally rush to the Base City to confirm the authenticity of the information before making a special trip back to report to His Majesty.
Black Snake, who had always been in charge of overseas intelligence, was very clear about the weight of the information.
Indeed, Ouyang Shuo was very happy to receive Black Snake's confirmation. He was generous with his praise. "The Black Snake Guards did a great job this time. After you leave, reward the men who obtained the information on my behalf."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Black Snake bowed excitedly. It was an extremely great honor to receive His Majesty's praise.
Of course, the Black Snake Guards were also worthy of such praise.
Even a fool knew that the regrouping of the Gaul Dynasty and the Germanic Dynasty was a top secret. It was basically the top secret of the two dynasties.
The Black Snake Guard could even investigate this kind of intelligence. It could be imagined to what extent this intelligence organization had developed after several years of operation.
It was simply terrifying.
"So, the current war between the two countries is just an act?!" A playful smile appeared on Ouyang Shuo's face. "As expected of Henry. He's very sensible and knows when to advance and when to retreat."
Knowing that he could not survive, Henry displayed the boldness that an emperor should have. He decisively broke away from the shackles of the Silver Hand and brazenly joined the Azure Badge's camp.
In order to survive, Henry did not hesitate to change.
Unlike the former King of Spain, Casillas, who was incessant and reluctant to give up, he was gradually nibbled away by Ouyang Shuo and the Azure Badge like a frog in warm water. In the end, not even his bones were left.
Ouyang Shuo did not have to think to know what kind of fate Casillas, who was now living in the Gaul Dynasty, would face after Henry joined the Germanic Dynasty.
Death was considered a light punishment.
"Unfortunately, Henry was a little late to adapt to the situation. If back then …"
Ouyang Shuo sighed and did not continue. Previously, Ouyang Shuo had also thought of roping Henry from the Silver Hand's camp to become a great help.
If that was really the case, the situation in Europe would not be as complicated as it was today.
At present, Henry finally gave up his so-called principles, gave up his fear of the Silver Hand, and joined the opponent's camp at the moment of life and death. How much capital could he gain?
In the future Germanic Dynasty, Henry might not have much room to play.
"So, who are they putting on this show for?" Ouyang Shuo's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate time and space and see the thrilling show that was playing on the European continent thousands of miles away.
Seeing that His Majesty was in high spirits, the Black Snake replied, "It should be to plot against the Gangdor Army and the Spanish Army that are still in the Gaul Dynasty."
Originally, it was not appropriate for the Black Snake to speak about such a military and national matter.
"Not all of them!"
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and did not continue.
What should be noted was that Ouyang Shuo was still very well-behaved. He would never wantonly discuss the empire's military operations in Europe in front of the Black Snake.
Gathering information was the Black Snake's duty.
Based on Ouyang Shuo's understanding of Henry and Manstein, they had racked their brains to put on this big show together. Their appetite was not limited to nibbling away at the little army in the Gaul Dynasty.
Perhaps, they had even greater ambitions.
Think about it, after annexing the Gaul Dynasty, the Germanic Dynasty would be completely connected, and they would become the most powerful dynasty in Europe in one fell swoop, enough to compete with the remaining three dynasties.
The danger of the Germanic Dynasty's destruction had been eliminated at this time.
Then, with the appetite and ambition of the Azure Emblem, would they still be satisfied with the status quo?
Absolutely not!
Continuing to expand in Europe, and even unifying the entire European continent, was probably already on the agenda of the Azure Emblem.
If they could operate the entire European continent as their base camp, then it would be a beautiful turnaround for the Azure Emblem.
The position of the Azure Emblem in the game world would become very solid.
"It's time to carry out the steel forging plan. Any delay will lead to changes!"
The information brought by the Black Snake gave Ouyang Shuo a sense of urgency. He realized that if he did not take action before the situation in Europe became clear, Great Xia would not be able to get a share of the pie in Europe.
"Since you guys want to put on a show, don't blame me for taking chestnuts out of the fire!" Ouyang Shuo's gaze was distant.
