Chapter 336 Crisis of National Destruction

In the spacious, bright and high-tech rear command center of the Qin Empire, a huge electronic map flashed with a faint blue light, marking the route of the advancing military operations in real time.

Ye Daofu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the map, a cheerful smile gradually appeared on his face, that smile was full of confidence that he was determined to win.

He secretly calculated that if the situation continued to develop in this way, it would not take a few days for him to complete his grand ambition of unifying the world. By then, the whole world would bow down at his feet.

At this time, a communications officer walked in quickly, stood straight, saluted with a standard military salute, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, good news has come, Florida has been successfully captured by us!" Ye Dolph nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The communications officer continued, "In this battle, Hitler displayed great bravery and fought tenaciously and courageously. His performance deserves our great praise. Now, he has also successfully captured a state."

"Very good," Ye Daofu nodded slightly, his tone calm but unable to conceal his excitement. "What's the reaction from the Rice Empire?"

A complex expression crossed the communications officer's face, and with a wry smile, he said, "Haha, they're as nervous as a frightened bird right now. The entire nation is implementing a policy of universal military service. This has added quite a bit of complexity to our operations. On the battlefield, we simply can't distinguish between ordinary civilians and armed fighters. So, to expedite the battle, Hitler has adopted a strategy of killing anyone holding a gun."

Ye Daofu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is the effect?"

"Many cities were devastated by his bloody massacre. The murderous aura was extremely heavy. The streets were littered with corpses, and the scene was extremely tragic." The communications officer's voice trembled slightly, as if he was still frightened by those bloody scenes.

"It's okay. Just kill the disobedient person." Ye Daofu looked indifferent, without a trace of mercy in his tone.

The communications officer hesitated, then continued, "However, this has infuriated the rest of the people of the Rice Empire. Now, those bloody scenes of murder have been filmed and released by reporters, instantly igniting the wrath of the nation. They believe that surrender means death, and not surrendering also means death. They might as well rise up and fight us to the death."

Ye Daofu, who was standing beside him, heard this with a stern expression and a fierce look in his eyes. He said disdainfully, "Since you have chosen to oppose our Great Qin Empire, you must be prepared to die. They are overestimating their own strength and are trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm."

After a pause, Ye Daofu's expression froze as he warned, "However, we still need to pay close attention to what's happening at the airport. Be careful that they might become desperate and use nuclear bombs."

Ye Daofu knew full well that now that the Rice Empire was cornered, these people were very likely to make a desperate move and use destructive weapons like nuclear bombs at the last moment. Therefore, they had to be prepared in advance.

In fact, the Qin Empire had already taken action and launched a massive bombing on the airports of the Rice Empire.

Both civilian and military airports were targeted first. Under the overwhelming bombardment, runways were riddled with holes, hangars were razed to the ground, and planes were reduced to ashes in the flames.

The Qin Empire's goal was very clear, which was to completely destroy the air force of the Rice Empire, so that they would lose the ability to provide air support in this war, unable to use air superiority to counterattack, and even unable to use nuclear bombs to launch attacks from the air.

In the conference room of the Presidential Palace of the Rice Empire, the atmosphere was depressing and almost suffocating.

The sunlight outside the window seemed to be blocked out by the heavy atmosphere, and the air in the house seemed to be frozen.

Luo Xifu sat at the head of the conference table, his face haggard, his eyes filled with fatigue and helplessness. His fingers subconsciously tapped lightly on the table, each tapping like a knock on everyone's heart.

The constant stream of bad news from the front was like a hammer, hammering down on his heart. Even with the might of the entire nation, it was unable to stand against the Qin Empire.

Even though he assembled a force of more than 60 million including militia, he was still vulnerable to the powerful technological pressure of the Qin Empire.

In this war, they were like primitive men armed with primitive weapons, facing aircraft and artillery. The huge disparity made every battle seem extremely hopeless. This was a war where numerical superiority could not be relied upon to turn the tide of the war.

Luo Xifu took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Everyone, tell me, how should we fight this war? We've lost more and more territory. Seven or eight states have already fallen, and the casualties have been heavy, exceeding four million. If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid our entire country will be gone, and we still won't be able to change the situation."

The conference room was completely silent. The usually confident generals now hung their heads, speechless. They all knew in their hearts that this was a war that was nearly impossible to win.

At this time, a young general stood up suddenly, his voice full of determination: "Why don't we use nuclear bombs? Since they don't let us live, we will die together with them, and no one will benefit!" As soon as these words came out, the conference room exploded.

Someone immediately objected: "In fact, there is no need for us to take this risky move. We can perhaps surrender to the Qin Empire. This way, we can save our land and the lives of our people, and we can still survive."

Look at the Soviet Union. They joined the Qin Empire, and now they're doing just fine. It's just a country becoming a number of provinces, with no real losses. Besides, the Qin Empire's national policies are pretty good too. Why should we go against civilization?"

"Shut up!" A senior general shouted angrily, his face flushed red and veins bulged on his forehead. "What's the difference between this and surrender? How is this different from treason? I absolutely cannot accept this fate. Even if I choose to die, I will not compromise with the enemy! Anyway, we have now developed missiles carrying nuclear warheads. I don't believe they are not afraid of nuclear bombs!" This is also the last trump card of the Rice Empire.

The crowd was divided into two factions, one advocating surrender and the other advocating fighting to the end. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, argued fiercely, and refused to give in. The meeting room was in chaos, but no conclusion was reached.

In the end, everyone gave the choice to Luo Xifu.

Should we choose to surrender, fight to the end, or launch a nuclear bomb?

Luo Xifu frowned, lost in thought. After a long pause, he cautiously asked, "What you all say makes sense. How about we launch a nuclear missile as a warning?"

"No," a military expert quickly shook his head. "If we just launch a nuclear test as a warning, I don't think they'll be afraid at all. They might even think we're weak and wouldn't dare to attack their people. I suggest launching a nuclear bomb against their soldiers to deter the Qin Empire!"

"That's not good," another counselor said worriedly. "If we really do this, it will be a fight to the death. The Qin Empire will definitely fight us to the end. When it comes to nuclear technology, they are more advanced than us. Once we open this loophole, we will be faced with countless nuclear bombs, and our country will be reduced to a scorched earth!"

Another general slammed his hand on the table in anger and shouted, "Humph, so you're saying we can't use nuclear bombs and can only sit and wait for death?"
