Cairo is located near Mansora, Egypt, discovered in IC22, is the first green island found on the African continent, forest ecology, with a total area of nearly 7,000 square kilometers and a population of 17 million. Due to the scarcity of survivors, human exploration of Africa has been much slower than on other continents. Before IC25, exploration operations were largely concentrated on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, and gradually expanded to East and Central Africa for the next 20 years, before stagnation for a long time due to war and the rejection of waste pickers by the African Union. As a result, until the discovery of Jobe in IC92, Cairo was the largest green island on the African continent.

- "The Complete History of Green Island? Cairo IC131, Deep. Neuer

IC64, July 10, New Cairo, on the banks of the Damietta River.

Thousand lakes of fish, Cairo rice, Maori cattle and sheep and shrimp and crabs. This is a phrase used by people in the early years of IC to describe high-end ingredients. Among them, Cairo rice refers to the high-quality rice produced in the Damietta basin of Cairo.

Cairo is located in the subtropics, with the Damietta River running through the Green Island, and the centuries-old accumulation and the moisture of the river bring rich soil to both banks, which is extremely suitable for rice cultivation. It is rumored that there are thousands of miles of fertile fields here, and the rice is fragrant in all seasons, and Damietta is also known as the river where gold flows, and the high-quality rice produced is exported to the sea and is highly sought after by the upper class.

Vladino grew up eating rice here. Anna loves to travel, and when he fell in love with Anna, he hoped that one day he could buy a farmhouse on this land with her, live there for a few months a year, and then grow enough rice for a year.

It's a pity that this dream is just a dream. Anna is dead, and now even this land of fish and rice has been devastated by the war.

Along the way, he saw all the lodging crops and charred craters on the west bank, the ridges of the fields, everything that should have been good was flattened by the traces of the tracks, the smoke of the farmhouses, and everything that flowed was covered by the groans of the wounded soldiers.

He had thought that such a war would be cruel enough, but now standing on the bow of the boat and seeing the scene on the east coast, he had to admit that the separatist forces in Africa had indeed made only a slight resistance on the west coast, as the second lieutenant in charge of reception had said.

The east bank was completely devoid of the appearance of fields, everywhere there was firelight, thick smoke, the whistling of heavy artillery and the roar of rockets almost tore the eardrums, the ground was turned over almost inch by inch, the ditches were broken, and the water in it overflowed, soaked into mud, and remixed into the flowing river, which was brown.

Fladino felt that he could not stand it any longer, and he turned around and bowed his head into the small cabin. The young lieutenant was making a pot of tea, using a clay stove and burning straw, which was bubbling and foaming, revealing a smell of rice, which mixed with the smoke of gunpowder in the air to form a strange smell.

"Sir, the cabin is a little small, you will be at it. The tea is quickly ready, and it is our specialty here, fried rice flowers, which are almost impossible to buy outside. The lieutenant looked up and nodded to Vladino, his swarthy face covered with a pair of large black and white eyes and a mouthful of white teeth.

Fladino waved his hand: "How long will it take to see President Anabohm?" ”

"It's going to take more than 20 minutes." The second lieutenant's voice was crisp, "The current is a little fast this season, and the boatman can't shake it quickly. ”

"Why not use a speedboat?" Vladino asked softly.

"You are a distinguished guest, of course you have to be entertained with the special boat and tea here, there should have been fish, but the sound of cannons on the other side was a little loud, and the fisherman said that the fish were scared away." The second lieutenant frowned, clearly annoyed by Vladino's incomprehension.

Vladino sighed, closed his eyes and stopped talking. Even the fish and rice that I thought were the foundation have been destroyed, so why bother with such a posture?

……

108 km southeast of Syracuse, Norwich.

Norwich is one of the many miniature green islands in the Land of a Thousand Islands, with a total area of less than 10 square kilometers. Because of its distance from Lake Ontario, it was almost deserted, with only a few hikers passing by occasionally to replenish supplies.

Today, it's one of hundreds of battlefields across the Lakefront District of the Americas and the newly formed Ontario Alliance, where an entire mechanized infantry division encircles the green island, which is less than 12 kilometers in circumference. It is said that because of the success of encircling one of the five de facto leaders of the Ontario Alliance, even the head of the League of Americas, Ellul, and his chief thug, Zulu Oba, were also on the front line.

Adranor sat quietly in the cockpit of a large desert car with his eyes closed, the cabin was luxuriously decorated and well absorbed, and the undulations of the desert could hardly be felt. The large cabin was filled with just him and the major who accompanied him from the American Federation. The two sat opposite each other, Adranor was as cold as an iceberg, and he didn't say a word along the way, but the major of an ordinary person didn't dare to breathe, and the desert car was silently heading towards the destination.

Undano did not deliberately treat the soldier in charge of greeting him, but organized in his mind the dictatorial head Ostavio, who was about to meet. The image of Ellul is said to be deep and ruthless, and he is good at scheming. Leaving Adranor, who had never thought about politics, to go alone for such a goal, he was not very sure of success.

His and Vladino's mission was brokered by the new advisor Ishoud. Adranor naturally thought of the maroon-haired, round-rimmed, freckle-looking young man in his mind. That young man was only 27 years old, and a few days ago he was an unknown secretary under the Foreign Secretary, and even those who paid attention to politics would not pay much attention to such a young clerk who had been in the company for less than three years and was ranked outside the 20th rank in the Secretariat.

Prodi's abandonment of the country did not defeat Angel, and the monarch, who had never shown much eloquence, seemed to have been unleashed to his full political potential overnight. The blockade of news to ensure the stability of the people, the strengthening of armaments to ensure the tension of the army, and then the wartime bill was activated, and the lower parliament was decisively dissolved, and the power was taken into the upper parliament, in fact, it was taken into her own hands.

In 3 days and 47 meetings, she smoothly completed the transformation of the kingdom from a constitutional monarchy to a dictatorship in almost no sleep, and spread a message to the nobles that even Adranor did not know if it was true or false. Prodi. Ethel has been reconciled with her, and is leading the powerhouses of the Origin Mechanism deep into the enemy territory. Fanor will not appear on the list of invaders of the Kingdom.

No one believes the argument of the ice release, and Adranor knows Prodi, and it is more likely that he will eliminate the biggest hidden danger of war for the kingdom before abandoning the kingdom, that is, the Phanor who is basically confirmed to be a fourth-order. Maybe it's annihilation, maybe it's persuasion, but it has to be said that if Fanor doesn't go to war, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of Greenwich.

Adranor himself is also an old third-order powerhouse, and he thinks that he will not be inferior to Li Dajiang too much, and Ling Tong, who has always been high-profile, is far from being Fladino's opponent, Eden and Shangri-La's alliance third-order ability is only two, and they also have Angel.

It was in this environment that Eth. Hood came out of nowhere, and he met the queen alone and proposed a strategy of war that at first glance sounded bizarre but made sense when he thought about it. It happened to be that day when Adranor was on duty, and every time he thought about it, those immature and fanatical eyes would appear in front of his eyes.

……

"Meet Your Majesty!" The deep hall, Eth. Hood walked up to the main hall in a full set of meritorious service dresses and a sword, making people feel like they had returned to the 19th century AD.

"You're Eath of House Hood? See you late at night, is there anything you'd like to say? Angel had just finished the long gathering of rights, physically and mentally exhausted, but before she had rested for 2 hours, the foreign secretary who had never heard of her made a request for an interview, and originally planned to punish him for the transgression of the overstepping, but I don't know why, when she saw him in this outfit, Angel suddenly had the interest to listen to him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here to offer advice." Hood looked up, and under the slightly ridiculously large round lenses, there was a burning gaze.

"Advice?" Angel wanted to laugh a little, a family that had never stepped out of the ability to do so, did she still want to use those old tactics to dictate modern warfare?

"Yes, what Your Majesty wants to offer is a strategy for long-distance friendship and close attack!" Hood straightened his waist and spoke loudly.

"Outbringing...... Melee attack? Angel sat up straight, frowning slightly.

"The Han have a history of saying that a country called Qin was too strong, and other countries banded together to suppress her. Later, a prime minister named Fan Ju proposed to the king of Qin to befriend Qi Chu, who was far away from Qin, and attack neighboring countries. Again and again, the state of Qin finally destroyed all its opponents and became the final victor. Under the main hall, Hood talked eloquently, and even paced himself.

"Befriend distant countries, attack neighboring countries......" Angel repeated, as if something was about to break out of the chrysalis, but when she thought about it, she couldn't catch anything, "Go on." ”

"Yes!" Hood paused and saluted, straightened up and continued, "In the Remnant War, we had only one opponent, and that was the Global Human Alliance, and our ancestors made great sacrifices to finally make the alliance sign a peace treaty with the victory of the final battle. Hood said, his voice suddenly high-pitched, "But Your Majesty feels that in that war, our biggest gain is not the recognition of those underground people, but the division of those underground people!" ”

"Split?" Angel chewed on the meaning of the word.

"Yes, split!" The more Hood spoke, the more excited he became, "In the war 20 years ago, all the underground people were our enemies, but this time, the ultimatum has been issued for so long, in addition to the Ark, Maori, China is silent, Africa, America and the Pan Pacific even started civil wars before us!" Your Majesty, our current enemies are not the underground, but only the Ark and the Alliance! ”

Angel stood up with a sigh, and Hood's words opened up a whole new line of thought, one that perhaps all of Greenwich hadn't thought about: "You mean ......"

"Yes!" Hood met Angel's gaze, "Don't provoke Huaxia and Maori, send Your Excellency Josiah and Your Excellency Adranor to befriend Africa and the Americas, and capture the Mediterranean and the Caucasus before the Alliance launches a war, even if we don't fight for an inch, we will have two loyal allies with good strength, who will serve as our barrier and bear the military pressure of the Alliance first." ”

"But they're all underground!" Angel retorted.

"So what! The kingdom has been integrated into this world for 20 years, and the underground people see that we are no longer a flood beast, on the other hand, the alliance, in order to re-establish its leadership position and incite civil strife, has long lost the hearts of the people, and the Americas and Africa hate the alliance even more, not to mention the immediate benefits to be taken. Hood was clearly confident and untimid about Angel's rebuttal.

"If we don't participate, why should they take two alliances in a short period of time?" Angel asks a second question.

"Who says we don't participate?" Hood smiled mysteriously, "Your Excellency Josiah and Your Excellency Adranor are both messengers and reinforcements, isn't the value of a third-order ability less than more than 10,000 soldiers?" ”

"But they're also our mainstay, and if something hurts for something like that......" Angel hesitated.

"Your Majesty can rest assured!" The more Hu De said, the more confident he became, "If they are greedy enough, they will never let the two Excellencies gain too much military merit, borrow but not reuse, and let them not do any damage, otherwise, why will they occupy the Green Island, and how can they guarantee that we will not fight back?" Seeing that the light in Angel's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, Hood suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty! The enemy disappears and I rise, the enemy is weak and I am strong, and I attack from afar! ”
