The problem within the warlords is that they don't trust each other, and no one wants to be used as a gun by others. If you lose too much in the war with the Colonial Security Federation, you may be killed by others as prey after the war.

It is precisely for this reason that everyone has a ghost in their hearts and will never let themselves suffer any losses.

If the Colonists and Allies march now, they may be able to unite for the time being for the purpose of self-preservation, but once this threat is eliminated, they will immediately go their separate ways.

Feng Kailong's strategy of not rushing to attack happened to hit the weakness of the warlords, and it was really uncomfortable for them to unite or disperse.

Some of the warlords suggested that they should be disbanded for the time being, and that they should join forces when the Union arrived. However, everyone knows that it is not easy to unite, and once the gang is broken up this time, it may not be able to unite in time next time.

The warlords dragged on day by day in this dilemma, and the entire Combined Fleet appeared to be a whole, but secretly had its own small calculations.

While the warlords were hesitating, news began to circulate on the Internet, and there was gossip that some of the warlords had quietly surrendered to the Union.

The news spread very quickly, and it was soon known to the warlords, which immediately caused an uproar within the warlords.

Some people believe that this is a deliberate release of information by the Colonial Security Alliance, in order to disturb the morale of the military and prevent the Combined Fleet from attacking itself. But some people believe that the news is not necessarily fake, and among so many warlords, who can guarantee that all of them are so loyal, and I am afraid that there are really people secretly colluding with the Colony Allied Alliance.

These warlords already lacked trust in each other, and now that news came out, the remaining trust was even more gone, and the suspicion was even more serious than before.

These people guessed each other, and they all suspected everyone else as suspects, but no one expected that the person who really surrendered to the Colony and Anthian Union was the only Xu Kai that everyone trusted.

When the news first appeared, Xu Kai was also taken aback, he thought that his affairs had been exposed, and he was in a panic all day long.

However, after a period of time, the warlords were suspicious of each other, but no one regarded Xu Kai as the object of suspicion, but many people secretly wooed Xu Kai and tried to get Xu Kai to side with them.

At this time, Xu Kai was finally relieved, and at the same time, he secretly felt lucky, fortunately he surrendered to the Colony and Anthine as early as possible, otherwise these warlords would be intriguing all day long, how could they be the opponents of the Colony and Anlian, sooner or later it would be a dead end.

While these warlords were busy suspicious of each other, the people sent by the Colonial Security Federation had already quietly arrived at Xu Kai's side. Xu Kai knew that these people were here to supervise him, so he was treated with extra care.

Among the people sent by the Colonial Security Federation were both intelligence officers and technicians, and as soon as they came, they asked to go to the launch base of the Houyi artillery.

Xu Kaixin said: "It seems that the Colonization and Anlian are still not at ease, and they have to hold the Houyi cannon in their hands." ”

So Xu Kai did not hesitate, and immediately sent the people of the Colony and Anwen Federation to the launch base, and at the same time instructed the person in charge there that no matter what kind of requests were made by the visitors, they must be met.

When the people arrived at the launch base, they first had to come to the technical materials of the Houyi cannon, and then they began to learn how to operate it. The intelligence personnel not only sent back the information of the Houyi artillery to the intelligence department, but also transmitted all the information they could get back to the headquarters.

The people at the launch base didn't know the origin of these people, and thought that they were people sent by Xu Kai to inspect the work, and while receiving them carefully, they complained about Xu Kai in their hearts.

Just when the Colonization and Security Federation infiltrated the imperial capital through various means, an unexpected event happened within the warlords.

At the Imperial Capital Military Joint Conference, warlords of all sizes gathered together, looking as if a large meeting was held at the headquarters of the Imperial Army in the past.

This joint meeting was a place for the warlords to discuss important matters, and it had become a regular monthly meeting due to the threat posed by the Union.

Because of the recent rumors, the warlords are now very suspicious of each other, and they don't dare to say anything when they meet, for fear of being suspected of by others.

The content of the meeting is still the same as before, nothing more than how to deal with the Colonial Alliance, how to feed the combined fleet, and so on. These topics have been discussed many times, but there is no consensus at all, so they can only be postponed.

Towards the end of the meeting, Zhang Zhao, who was presiding over the meeting, suddenly stood up and said: "Everyone, there is an urgent matter today that must be solved immediately, if something happens in a while, please don't panic, just sit honestly and don't move." ”

When everyone heard Zhang Zhao's words, they were all shocked, and they didn't know what Zhang Zhao meant.

At that moment, the door to the conference room suddenly opened, and a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, guns in hand, and surrounded the crowd.

All of these people here are warlord leaders, all of whom are experienced in a hundred battles, and they know that something big is going to happen today as soon as they look at this posture.

Some people who didn't know what was going on scolded one after another, and asked Zhang Zhao loudly what he meant?

In the face of everyone's questioning, Zhang Zhao did not seem flustered at all, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, you will know what is going on soon." ”

At this time, several other big warlords also stood up one after another and helped Zhang Zhao appease everyone together.

"Don't panic, everyone, today's action is just to purge the traitors inside, and those with a clear conscience can just sit and watch the show."

These people, plus Zhang Zhao, were the most trusted people in Gao Ban back then, and they were also the most powerful people among the warlords.

At this time, Zhang Zhao suddenly turned his head to look at the few people sitting in the corner, and said with a sneer: "Wang Che, Zhu Fei, Zhou Ji, what garlic do you three still contain, do you want me to pick you up personally?" ”

The faces of the three of them changed greatly, but they didn't expect Zhang Zhao to suddenly point the finger at themselves, and scolded one after another: "Zhang Zhao! What do you mean! ”

"Zhang Zhao, don't wronged people! We're not defectors! ”

Zhang Zhao said: "I haven't said anything yet, you just said that you didn't defect, isn't this just not a confession?" It's all at this time, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Nonsense! You're planting! ”

"Zhang Zhao, are you crazy!"

The three of them stood up and pointed at Zhang Zhao and scolded, and the others couldn't tell who was telling the truth for a while when they saw their angry appearance.

However, Zhang Zhao and the others would give them a chance to confess, waved to the soldiers, and said sharply: "Arrest me!" Handed over to the Judge Advocate General's Office for interrogation! ”

When the three of them heard this, they already understood that Zhang Zhao and the others had premeditated, and it was useless to say anything more, so they shouted in a threatening tone: "Zhang Zhao, you despicable villain, if you dare to arrest us today, my army will never let you go!" ”

Zhang Zhao was too lazy to have a verbal dispute with the three of them, and waved his hand and said, "Take them all away for me!" ”

The three of them were dragged out by a group of soldiers, and then they heard a burst of punches and kicks from outside the conference room, accompanied by the screams of the three men.

This scene frightened the people attending the meeting into pale, and no one expected that today's meeting would hide such a big conspiracy.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile at this time: "Don't be afraid, these three traitors secretly colluded with the Colony and Allied Alliance, and were denounced. ”

Several other people also helped: "That's right, if you don't get rid of these people who eat inside and outside in time, how can you fight with the Colonial Security Federation in the future?" ”

Forced by the power of a few people, no one else dared to fight for the three people, but these warlords are not fools, they have understood that today's events are mostly made out of nothing, and they deliberately used those three people to kill chickens to show the monkeys.

After the meeting, the warlords hurried back to their own territory, secretly glad that it was not they who had been unlucky today.

A few days later, the fleets of Wang Che, Zhu Fei, and Zhou Ji were forcibly taken over by Zhang Zhao and others, and the territory they occupied was also completely divided.

This matter has spread widely among the warlords, and many people have become suspicious of Zhang Zhao and others, and they may not do this to eliminate traitors, but to take the opportunity to annex other warlords is the real goal.

This incident had a great impact on the warlords, making the warlords who were not united in the first place even more alienated, and many people who had no intention of contacting the Colonial Security Federation now began to use their brains to find a way out for themselves.

Originally, these things were only circulated among warlords, and it was actually difficult for outsiders to know, but now Xu Kai had people from the Colonization and Security Federation by his side, so the matter was quickly reported to Liu Yi.

After Liu Yi saw these situations, he immediately called Feng Kailong and showed him the information.

After Feng Kailong finished reading it, he happily patted the table and said, "Great! Before they even started fighting, they were in chaos, and the time for a decisive battle had come! ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then don't delay any longer, I think it will take a month to prepare, and then you can start the decisive battle." ”

"Just listen to the adults, a month of preparation time is enough!" Feng Kailong said excitedly.

Soon, the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation began to get busy, shuttling back and forth between various ships and fleets every day, and various strategic materials on Tianwo Star were constantly sent to space.

Naturally, it was impossible to conceal such large-scale preparations for war, and the warlords also began to seize the time to prepare for war after learning the news, and the atmosphere in the imperial capital became tense again.

As the internal response of the Colonization and Security Federation, Xu Kai was very active this time, not only donating most of his ships, but also taking out a lot of materials, showing more actively than before.

For this reason, Zhang Zhao and others also praised Xu Kai at the military meeting, in order to demand that other warlords should be like Xu Kai.
