Chapter 1194 War Between The Two Countries?
The entire human race was currently talking about one incident.
“Have you heard that the Huaxia Federation has found an important spy? I heard that he is from the Twilight Empire.” In a cla.s.sy bar with high-rise ceilings and marble tabletops, there were soldiers sitting around discussing the single incident that had shocked the universe. From their uniforms, it could be determined that they were soldiers of Caesar
“He was the mastermind behind Ling Xiao’s ‘death’. The Twilight Empire has always wanted to destroy the Huaxia Federation. How frightening. Luckily, they found the spy. If not, our nation might have lost more outstanding soldiers.” This was the general sentiment of the people in the Huaxia Federation.
“What a pity. Why is the Huaxia Federation always so lucky? How did they find the spy so early?” While this was the general sentiment of the people in enemy countries.
“The Huaxia Federation and the Twilight Empire are at odds now. I heard that the situation is very tense in the Intergalactic United Nations.”
“Are they going to start a war? That’s impossible, right?” No one believed that a war would break out. To prevent any catastrophic wars from happening, the Intergalactic United Nations had been stopping any battles that could affect the foundation of a nation. They only allowed small-scale battles to occur.
If a war between the Huaxia Federation and the Twilight Empire actually broke out, it would bring earth-shattering changes. It was because as the war continued on, more and more nations would be dragged into it. Factions would be created, alliances would be formed, deep-seated hatred would burst out, ushering an era of bloodshed and cruelty.
“How is it not possible? That year, when the Huaxia Federation lost its most powerful G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha master, Immortal Bird Ling Xiao, because of the Twilight Empire, it already created tension between the two nations. Luckily, Immortal Bird managed to escape from death’s grasp. After the scheme was divulged by Ling Xiao, the entire Huaxia Federation was incensed. They were indignant that the Twilight Empire tried to scheme against their G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha master. Immortal Bird was the idol of the Huaxia Federation. This was an unforgivable matter to the people of the Huaxia Federation.” The discussing soldiers had quite a deep understanding on how the Federation worked, so they felt that it was very likely that the Huaxia Federation wanted to start a war.
“Are they really going to start a war for a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha master?” Some soldiers from another table suddenly asked the soldier who started the discussion out loud.
“The Huaxia Federation seems resolute. They proposed to the Twilight Empire that to stop the inevitable war, they want the current emperor, prime minister, and all members of the cabinet of the Twilight Empire to kill themselves as an apology,” the questioned soldier replied with an uncertain expression
The bar suddenly turned dead-silent. Every soldier’s pupils dilated as they imagined the horror and destruction this proposal would cause.
“The Huaxia Federation is really vicious. Immortal Bird isn’t dead, right? Yet, they want the entire cabinet of the Twilight Empire to die. The Twilight Empire will never agree to the proposal.”
“If Immortal Bird really died, the Huaxia
n’t have made the proposal. They would probably have directly sent their army to the Twilight Empire. And of course, the Twilight Empire won’t agree to the proposal. That’s why I said that the war is evitable. Once a consensus can’t be reached, the Huaxia Federation will deploy their army.”
“Why isn’t our military stopping them?” The only country that could stop the Huaxia Federation was Caesar. Moreover, Twilight Empire had a good relations.h.i.+p with Caesar. Caesar should be helping them.
“That’s the weird part. Caesar didn’t say anything during the meeting of the Intergalactic United Nations. They seemed unconcerned at the plight of the Twilight Empire.”
“Have we abandoned the Twilight Empire? This isn’t good.” The Twilight Empire dared to offend Huaxia because it had Caesar supporting them. Caesar never admitted this but it was an open-secret. If Caesar decided not to help, Twilight Empire would not stand until the end of the coming decade.
“It all depends on the Twilight Empire’s stance. If the Twilight Empire is willing to take a step back, the war won’t start. If not…”
“What about the other nations? Can’t they stop it? The Huaxia Federation is too domineering.” Some Caesar soldiers were unhappy with the att.i.tude of Huaxia.
“Well, the Huaxia Federation has evidence against the Twilight Empire. It will be a slap in the face if they let the Twilight Empire off so easily. In cases like these, the Huaxia Federation is just too smart, as they only directed their anger at Twilight. The proposal is ruthless but it’s reasonable. The scheme 20 years ago didn’t kill Immortal Bird but it made him disappear for 16 years. If this never happened, Huaxia might have grown more powerful now.”
“They remembered all the hards.h.i.+p they went through for those 16 years. Thus, when they caught Twilight red-handed, they would bite on it like a ferocious beast. They must make Twilight pay for the 16 years they have endured.”
“Twilight is in the wrong so the proposal makes sense. Our military couldn’t say anything in Twilight’s defence so the other nations won’t dare to speak up too.”
“Does this mean Twilight is dead?”
“That’ll depend on whether the higher-ups are willing to help it. It also depends on the decision of Twilight.”
While the human race was debating whether a world war would start, Ling Lan called her father.
“Ah, what momentous event occurred for you to call me… Did something happen? Do you need my help?” Ling Lan only called him when she needed help. Ling Xiao felt like crying. What a poor father he was. His daughter wasn’t the slightest bit concerned about him.
Ling Lan was speechless. Was she so troublesome? Ling Lan self-reflected for three seconds.
However, this time, she was calling him because she needed help. Her expression turned serious as she said, “Rumours are flying everywhere. I want to know your real thoughts.”
The rumours even reached their base so Ling Xiao must have heard it too.
“It’s an exchange. I got what I wanted so I must give back too.” Ling Xiao didn’t hide the truth from Ling Lan.
“They’re using your name to start a war!” Ling Lan immediately understood her father’s point.
