After passing through layers of primeval forests to the outskirts of Saint Lodu, the operation had already been damaged by nearly ten percent before it even began. small says .

The Commonwealth's primeval forests are home to unimaginable dangers, and this forest is located between the subtropics and the tropics, and the year-round environment makes the animals and plants that live here full of strange characteristics. More than 200 people fell along the way because of malaria alone, not counting the damage caused by other poisonous insects and poisonous plants. The attitude of not paying attention to crossing the primeval forest eventually erupted with serious consequences. The only thing to be thankful for is that despite the non-attrition, they finally made it through the forest.

At the moment of the roar of artillery, the tallest building in San Lodu suddenly exploded, and broken stones and bricks flew everywhere, and before the people could understand what was happening, the army entered the city. People began to flee in all directions, hiding from the attack.

Although there are some so-called axioms that everyone abides by in the international community, such as the principle that civilians must not be harmed during war, and so on, and all major countries have recognized this principle one after another, in practice, how can we distinguish whether a person is a soldier or a civilian? In case of a wrong identification, the cost may be that several or even more heavily armed soldiers become corpses under the smoke of gunpowder, and no one can bear such responsibility, so most of the time those who can be driven away are civilians, and those who cannot be driven away...... That's the enemy army.

But no country will tell its own civilians about this principle, and will even take the initiative to promote the ...... of war away from civilians.

Gunfire rang out continuously, explosions accompanied by army fire, and the most prosperous city of the Federation, San Lo, was plunged into a sea of fire. Not only is the emperor attacking the various buildings in the plan, but a group of federal natives are also fishing in troubled waters, as the most economically developed and prosperous city of the Federation, San Lodu, which is full of money legends. Any company may have tens of thousands of dollars of cash in its vault, not to mention the many luxury stores that may be worthless in times of war, but they are still luxuries.

It is even possible that the legend of the war will make them more collectible.

Saint-Lotus, who had no ability to resist, was like Sayuri who had mistakenly walked into a dark alley, unable to resist anyone's aggression, and at the same time, Mr. Sail had already reacted to the meeting.

Yes, it was not to send troops to suppress this sneak attack that bypassed the front line, nor to contact the Imperial side to discuss the abandonment of the fight, but to hold a meeting. For Mr. Sail, the fall of San Lodu was a good thing, first of all, to solve some of the remaining problems of the new generation of consortiums, but also to solve some of the problems of the Commonwealth Bank. These two sides are not too worry-free things, needless to say about the former, the latter has no big problems on the surface, in fact, there are some small and small problems. This war is the resetting of the resources of the whole society, the reshuffling of large and small forces, and naturally the Federal Bank is also included in the sequence of reshuffling.

As for the lost money?

That's definitely not a problem, losing one million, printing another million, is equivalent to losing fifty percent of the original value of this wealth, if another nine million are printed, then the real value of the wealth plundered by the emperor ** team is only one-tenth. It is not unacceptable to use some slightly more radical methods to make up for losses in special cases. As a federation with unique financial and economic means, it has unparalleled experience in this kind of thing.

So the first thing Mr. Sail had to do was to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with this sneak attack on the army in the heart of the Federation. After more than two hours of bickering, the meeting finally ended, and then some of the soldiers stationed in the Fourth City Chain began to move, responsible for eliminating the army that had attacked Saint Lodu. Such a slow reaction speed naturally made some people who were deeply affected by this sneak attack dissatisfied, but in the face of Mr. Sail, who was in power at this time, there was nothing they could do.

The news of the "conquest" of St. Lodu soon reached the Empire, rekindling the enthusiasm of the people, who took to the streets to celebrate it, as if the Empire had conquered the Federation.

"Mr. Dulin, we just received the news that Emperor ** has conquered Saint Lodu, do you have any thoughts on the next trend?", the host took a hand card from the director's hand, and when the camera cut out, she glanced down, and then asked this question.

Du Lin sat forward, the sofa here is relatively low, and very deep, when you do it, it feels like sitting on the ground, it is always a little awkward, he said after a little groaning, "This is a good thing, St. Lodu is the financial and economic center of the Federation, if St. Lodu is conquered, it means that the financial order that has collapsed in the Federation will be completely paralyzed, and the mental blow to all the people of the Federation is also very heavy." This represents another decline in the power of the Federation. ”

He paused for a moment when he said this, and it was obvious that he was thinking about what to say next, and after about a minute, he continued, "In the current international situation, there are only three or five that can be called great powers, among which the Bright Star Empire and the Federation are the strongest, which is also recognized. The host nodded, this is also the current recognized situation, the empire can be regarded as a big country by everyone, first of all, the empire has a history of unifying the continent. Without such a great past, there will be no precipitation and no prosperity.

There are two main reasons why the Federation is also recognized as a great power, the first is that the Civil War won the empire, and many international forces recognized the national strength of the Federation. Secondly, the federation has a unique system in terms of economy, and it is one of the most prosperous among many countries, which is enough to make people recognize the status of the federation.

"Now the war between the Union and the Empire is in a state of scorching, but wherever this war goes, the Federation will lose its place in the world. As the only remaining international power, I think the empire will have to take on more international responsibilities in the days to come......"

In fact, it was a question and answer that was not answered correctly, and the moderator wanted Dührin to talk about the direction of the war, but Dührin avoided the question. Because the question itself does not give any correct answer, if today he says that the Federation will definitely die, what if the Federation does not die? Any answer may be wrong before the ending appears, and it doesn't matter if it sounds good now, but once his own statement is different from the ending, there will be people who will say something about this show. To put it mildly, Dühring did not understand war at all, and to say that Dühring did not understand politics at all.

Instead of leaving a handle behind, it is better to simply avoid answering and say the right thing. The Federation's economy and national power will inevitably decline rapidly after the financial tsunami and the war, and it is natural for the country that has benefited the most to assume more international responsibilities, which in itself is absolutely not wrong, and it is also something that people like to hear. Pleasing the audience without leaving a "stupid" answer, this kind of answer may not be appropriate, but it is most suitable for Doolin's current situation.

The presenter was apparently aware of the problem, and the teleprompter told her to continue asking the following questions, not about the war, and she immediately ...... to respond.
