Golden Gallen Harbor.

Alliance military base.

Fang Chang, who was sitting on a bench near the archive point, was meticulously rummaging through the pieces in his hand.

Due to the relevant business of Baiyue Company to be dealt with, he went back to Dawn City at the beginning of last month, and then went to Ideal City to handle the business of Changyue Group, and only returned to Jingallen Port several times until last night.

He has been following up on the situation in Borneo on the forum, and has even given immature advice to some of the newcomers involved in the incident.

However, in order to get a more complete picture of the local situation, he still went to the newspaper office to buy a bound book at the suggestion of the secretary of the governor's palace, Yodu.

This is the publication method that the local newspaper has figured out on the basis of the Dawning City.

Due to the constant breaking news in the local area, there are additional publications every three or five days, and it is easy to miss key information if you are not careful.

And in this port where finance and imports and exports are booming, information means money.

Therefore, at the request of readers, every month that passes, key information will be extracted from the headlines and extras of the previous month, and a general collection will be made for the people who eat melons to eat melons or collect.

In addition, there are "quarterly collections" and "annual collections", and the cover is generally the person of the quarter or year.

At present, this method of publication has also been introduced in settlements such as Dawning City and Boulder City.

Although the Golden Gallen Harbor is an imitator of the former, the league is not very particular about this.

After all, managers once said that as long as it is a voice of progress, even if it comes from a rotten coffin board, it is also progressive.

And what Fang Chang is holding in his hand at this moment is the quarterly summary of the Golden Gallon Port, which can be regarded as sorting out what has happened during this time.

And the last report is about the emperor of Xilan, but it is only a few words.

After reading the newspaper at the end, Fang Chang closed the newspaper in his hand and put it aside.

At this moment, Lao Bai, who had just finished teaching the young officers of the Golden Gallen Harbor, came over, sat down next to him, and said with a smile.

"Why don't you say anything when you arrive? I thought you were still on the plane. ”

Fang Chang said with a faint smile.

"I just got off the plane last night, and then I went to the Governor's Palace for a meeting, and I haven't been idle until now...... I was going to go offline and tell you about it for a while, but I thought that the save point was in the barracks, so I just came over. ”

"Wait for me in a moment."

With that, Lao Bai got up and walked to the vending machine next to the archive point, bought two cans of coffee and came back, and handed one can to Fang Chang.

Reaching out to take the coffee, Fang Chang pulled open the tab of the can, and took a sip close to his mouth.

"Thank you...... Anyway, there are even vending machines here. ”

"After all, it's been almost two months since this archive opened," Lao Bai asked casually with a smile, "Speaking of which, what's going on over there in the space elevator?" Is it going well? ”

Fang Chang replied casually.

"It's good, the academy somehow suddenly changed its previous attitude of non-cooperation, and actually offered to transfer gravity well technology to us."

Lao Bai's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"The conditions are not cheap, are they?"

Fang Chang nodded and said.

"It's really not cheap, they wrote a whole list of conditions, which are more verbose than the contracts of enterprises...... But in a nutshell, it's technology stakes. And when the space elevator is completed, we need to build them a colony ship according to their requirements, no less standard than the stranded Zhiyuan in Ideal City, and then they will return their shares as agreed. ”

Lao Bai said with a wry smile.

"That's more expensive than a space elevator."

He'd seen what the captain of the Zhiyuan was like.

The tallest building in Ideal City is like a chopstick in front of that thing.

Fang Chang nodded.

"That's true at the moment, but it's not without our benefits, because if they want us to help them produce, they have to provide us with the technology. For these two centuries they have been putting together the technological legacy of the Age of Prosperity, which will be a great asset. ”

Lao Bai was stunned, touched his chin and thought for a while.

"It's quite profitable to think about it."

Fang Chang smiled faintly.

"It's not just a lot of money...... Our friends in Ideal City were stunned, it took them over a century to pry the academy's mouth open, and it only took us two or three years to do it, and we got those guys to come up with so many goodies. ”

"Engineers at Ideal Group are pondering how to use anti-gravity technology in construction, and the company will usher in new profit growth points...... Of course, we are the same, and we will grow faster than them in many areas. ”

With his knowledge of the Alliance's managers, it was impossible for that gentleman to trade at a loss.

That person must have seen this day from the beginning.

Nowadays, the space elevator is gradually turning from an unprofitable scientific research project into an international project that can achieve a win-win situation for all parties involved.

Although most games have NPCs for balance and gameplay, he still can't help but admire that Chu Guang's methods.

Whether it is ability or vision, that person is one of the best.

“…… There's not much to say about the space elevator, it's mostly a matter for academics and engineers at this stage, all we need to do is create a stable environment for them to use their talents and creativity to the fullest. ”

"The most important thing at the moment is the situation in the Borneo region, and for now, this land has involved the main survivor forces of the entire Zhongzhou continent."

Fang Chang paused for a moment, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Lao Bai to continue.

"By the way, has the cause of the witch camel's death been found?"

This guy died so coincidentally that it was hard not to make him wonder if it was designed.

Hearing this question, Lao Bai's expression was a little strange.

“…… You may not believe it, but that guy died of diabetes. ”

"Sugar ...... Diabetes? Fang Chang was stunned, and the whole person was completely untidy.

In reality, many incurable diseases can only be maintained and treated, but they can only be regarded as minor diseases in the wasteland, and there are not only treatments, but even multiple ways to solve them.

For example, the simplest and crudest way, where it doesn't work, change it and it's over.

If you really can't do it, you can still let Xiao Yu touch it and gamble on a glorious evolution.

In this era of competition for boffunk and 2077, it is incomprehensible that someone will die of diabetes.

Even if that guy doesn't have the alliance's health insurance, there is always no shortage of money, right?!

Lao Bai also had a complicated expression.

His medical records show that he was taken to a hospital on the outskirts of Port Kinggallen for a check-up a few months ago, where he was diagnosed with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The doctor recommended that he be implanted with a prosthetic, but his fellow Imperial ministers refused, so he switched to medication ......"

After a pause, he sighed again.

"Don't say you're surprised, I think those ministers don't have a good heart. One or two cried miserably, maybe they wished that guy would die soon. ”

From the standpoint of the emperor or his relatives, an alliance with no interest in the land was obviously more worthy of reliance than the legion, even if they had a better relationship with the legion.

However, this is not necessarily the case from the minister's standpoint.

This country is not theirs in the first place, who is it not a part-time job?

This is where the ills of feudalism lie.

A seemingly stable whole is actually achieved through mutual internal friction between various strata. As a result, the empire as a whole appears to be a behemoth on the surface, but the cohesive output is negative.

Now that the witch camel is dead, this Xilan can be regarded as completely swallowing his last breath.

“…… The cause of the camel's death will be handed over to the local police station to investigate, and we won't join in the fun, anyway, there is no point. He couldn't do anything while he was alive, let alone after he died. ”

The index finger touched the bridge of his nose, and Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai and continued to ask.

"What about the Legion? Most of the people were killed by them, and I guess they got the news before we did. ”

Lao Bai nodded, and said with a solemn expression.

"The information we received from our side is similar to what you guessed, the legion announced the death of the emperor almost immediately after the death of the witch camel, and Prince Dilip on the ship was still thinking about how to seal the news and seal the news on the ship......"

Fang Chang's face showed a crying and laughing expression.

"What did he think?"

This is different from covering your ears and stealing the bell, covering your ears and others won't be able to hear, right?

Lao Bai shook his head.

"Who knows? Maybe Wu Camel told him something, but only he knew what it was...... Anyway, not long after that, Crown Prince Akbar, who had been exiled to Saifan Harbor, announced his succession to the throne and set the time of the coronation ceremony for three days after today. ”

After a pause, Lao Bai continued.

"At the same time, General Gurion, commander-in-chief of the Borneo Operational Area of the Southern Corps, issued an ultimatum to the Mammoth State, demanding that they withdraw their troops from the three northern states within 72 hours and return the illegally occupied territories."

Fang Chang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"If Rasi accepts their demands, their next target will be the cattle state of Borneo."

"Well," Lao Bai nodded, "We think so too, so we communicated with Lassy...... The guy was a good talker, and unlike Absec, he didn't have any illusions of negotiating with the Legion from the start. ”

"Absec is our biggest hidden danger," Fang Chang's gaze fell on the newspaper on the side, "That guy is different from Lassy, he has no courage to be a lone husband, he wants to give up power but is reluctant, and indecision is a big taboo." ”

Lao Bai sighed and said.

"Vanus is worried about that guy too, but we can't expect every card in our hand to be good."

"That's right...... There are only seventy-two hours left until the start of the war. ”

Placing the coffee on the bench, Fang Chang picked up the newspaper that he had put aside.

"Fortunately, now that the united front has been formed, there is only one problem left at the moment, if the Southern Army declares war on the Mammoth Nation in the name of the Xilan Empire, this matter is a civil war in the Empire, if we send troops directly, I am afraid that the achievements of the Sticky Community will be overturned."

It's not just the results of the Adhesive Community, but even the Battle of Luoxia has to happen again.

This fire is really going to burn, and the entire Middle-earth continent may be swept up in it.

Previously, the alliance was only facing the eastward expansion faction of the Eastern Army, and it was the eastward expansion faction that was crippled by the Great Rift Valley, but now it is facing the entire Southern Army that has reached a consensus.

The tricky part of this is not only on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield.

Looking at Fang Chang, who was frowning, Lao Bai said with a smile.

"Actually...... Don't worry about this, the manager made a special call yesterday and said that this is the matter. ”

Fang Chang put down the newspaper in his hand and cast an unexpected glance at Lao Bai.

"What did he say on the phone?"

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"He told us not to worry, the foreign minister of the previous alliance went to the capital of the Eastern Army to negotiate under the introduction of Bennott after the end of his visit to the port of Golden Gallen, and has achieved certain results."

"I don't know exactly what happened, but according to the results of the negotiations, the Eastern Corps made it clear that it would not participate in a war unilaterally launched by the Southern Corps. And they want us to treat them as 'separate individuals', not as vassals of Triumph, or allies of the Southern Legion. ”

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"What about Triumph City?"

Lao Bai continued.

"It's the same with Triumph City, they even want us to teach the Southern Legion a profound lesson, preferably like the Great Rift Valley taught the Eastern Legion. Although they could not give us more support, they promised that this war would not affect our cooperation, let alone escalate into a full-scale war...... On the contrary, they want us to try not to spread the fighting to each other's homeland, causing too many civilian casualties. ”

For these reasons, the managers have given new instructions for the deployment of the front. In the event that the Southern Army does not directly declare war on us, we will not declare war on it, but will still respond with a reciprocal military strategy. ”

Looking at Fang Chang with a surprised face, Lao Bai grinned and continued.

"If they invade Borneo as mercenaries and assist the puppet Silan regime in realizing their ambitions, we will go to the front line and fight as volunteers!"

……

With the succession of Prince Akbar, the ultimatum issued by the Southern Legion, the fuse inserted in the powder keg of Borneo has been completely ignited.

The war between the exiled regime of the Xilan Empire and the Mammoth Nation has entered the final countdown.

Both sides are increasing their leverage on their respective borders, with the Willant "mercenaries" on one side and the Lunara Resistance and "volunteers" from the Alliance on the other.

What conspiracy and conspiracy can't get, in the end, will have to be seen on the battlefield.

Any discerning person can see who stands behind the warring parties and what the goals of the war are.

However, even if there are some clues from those clues, people can only silently pray that the scope of this disaster will not be too wide......

The Battlefield Atmosphere Team boarded the ship to extradite Triumph City, and Penny accompanied him.

Yarman, for his part, fulfilled his promise and used his fleet to open a route for the survivors of Westsail Harbor to Haiya Province.

There were fleeing Lunarians, blackened Expeditionary Force soldiers, and a group of survivors from other parts of the wasteland. They will rebuild a new home in a land where there is nothing but hope......

At the same time, the 30,000-strong troops of the legion had landed in Xifan Harbor, completing the final preparations before the invasion, and the entire port was full of soldiers.

On the other hand, the distant city of Dawn is still calm, just like the capital of the Southern Legion, Avant, and there is not a trace of imminent war in the streets and alleys.

This is actually what Chu Guang himself meant.

Since this war cannot go to the level of a full-scale war, there is naturally no need for mobilization.

Besides, the alliance is no longer the small organization that struggled on the death line, and there are still a lot of things that need to be done, and it is impossible to use all the strength of the whole body for everything.

Conference Hall 1 at the Alliance Building.

Chu Guang, who was sitting at the conference table, was quietly scrolling through the forum, while seeing who was talking about his handsomeness behind his back, while passing the boring time before the meeting began.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, he sighed softly and spoke into the holographic screen.

"Isn't it okay, Xiaoqi."

A light blue holographic light and shadow jumped out from the side of the screen, and Xiao Qi looked at him pitifully and said.

"Hmm, I'm sorry master...... The communication distance is too long, and the communication situation in the great desert is extremely unstable. The line on our side is smooth, but it doesn't seem to be connected to us on the other side. ”

The Eastern Legion has a very low degree of exploitation of the Great Desert, and it can even be said that it is almost equal to none, and only recently has some research stations and other things built in the west.

However, thanks to this, the two sides can communicate "across regions" through the "signal transfer station" of the development city, and then take a few command vehicles and radios.

It's just that the problem of intermittent signals remains.

Like now.

"You don't need to apologize for other people's mistakes, I'm just habitually urging ......" Chu Guang glanced at the time on the screen, "It seems that our friends are not looking forward to this meeting, maybe it would be more appropriate to go on a date another day." ”

His time is not infinite, and it is impossible to wait here forever.

Just as Chu Guang was about to get up and leave, the communication icon marked with an exclamation mark on the holographic screen suddenly jumped out of a bar.

"There it is!" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up and immediately disappeared from the screen.

At the same time, a pale blue light lit up directly in front of the conference table, and a torn hologram gradually emerged from the beam.

"Ahem! First meeting, Dear Alliance Administrator, unfortunately our communications corps has encountered a sandstorm, sorry to keep you waiting...... Hopefully it didn't keep you waiting. ”

Chu Guang is not unfamiliar with the ordinary face in front of him.

After all, in the past year, the exchanges between the Eastern Legion and the Alliance have not been small, and he always has various opportunities to meet.

However, this is the first time that we have met face-to-face.

Putting away the holographic computer pen, Chu Guang calmly looked at the man standing in the holographic beam, and smiled indifferently.

"It's a shame that I did have to wait a long time, but luckily it was worth the wait."

After a pause, he continued.

“…… It's a pleasure to meet you, the commander of the Eastern Legion, Mr. Salen. ”
