After successfully destroying the Dark Alliance headquarters, Xu Tiancai was honored, but his inner desire grew stronger. He knew that to stand at the top of the world, his current achievements were far from enough.

After returning to the coalition camp, Xu Tiancai began to actively participate in various coalition affairs. On the surface, he was making suggestions for the development of the coalition and post-war reconstruction, but in fact he was secretly planning to expand his own power.

At a coalition military meeting to discuss how to further consolidate peace and allocate post-war resources, Xu Tiancai stood up and said with a determined look, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved today's victory through great difficulty, but the global situation remains complex. I believe we should strengthen our military capabilities to ensure we are no longer threatened. Resource allocation should prioritize areas that are crucial to military development. I am willing to lead a team responsible for integrating and planning relevant resources."

Some generals agreed with his proposal, but others questioned it: "Xu Tiancai, military strength is certainly important, but aspects such as people's livelihood cannot be neglected. We need balanced development and cannot over-allocate resources."

Xu Tiancai smiled faintly and responded, "Of course I understand the importance of people's livelihood, but without a strong military, all that will be in vain. We cannot let our guard down in peacetime. Only with absolute strength can we truly protect our achievements and our people."

Although the debate at this meeting did not reach a final conclusion, Xu Tiancai took this opportunity to make more people pay attention to his military development philosophy.

Privately, Xu Tiancai found some comrades who had fought side by side with him and had in-depth conversations with them.

He said to one of the warriors, Li Hao, "Li Hao, we've been through so many life-and-death trials together. You should know that this world is not a simple place. Although we defeated the Dark Alliance, there may be even greater challenges ahead. I need your support to build an even stronger force together, for our future, and to protect everything we hold dear."

Li Hao said hesitantly, "Xu Tiancai, I believe in your ability, but the coalition has its own rules and decision-making mechanisms. Will our actions cause unnecessary trouble?"

Xu Tiancai patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said, "Rules are static, but people are dynamic. Our goal is to make the world a better place. If we continue with the current approach, development will be too slow. Think about it, when we fought on the battlefield, what did we rely on? Strength and decisiveness. Now we must have the same determination to create a stronger future."

Under Xu Tiancai's persuasion, Li Hao and a group of people were gradually won over by him, and they began to carry out some training and preparation work in secret.

However, Zhang Jie and Mira were concerned about Xu Tiancai's behavior. One day, Zhang Jie approached Xu Tiancai and said, "Xu Tiancai, I feel like there's something wrong with your recent behavior. You seem to be pursuing something beyond our original goal. What are you thinking?"

Xu Tiancai looked at Zhang Jie and said calmly, "Zhang Jie, you don't understand my ambition. We can't be satisfied with the status quo. We must stand at the top of the world to truly control our own destiny and protect the people we love. Everything I do is for this goal."

Mira also said, "Xu Tiancai, power and status are not everything. We once fought for justice and peace. Now that you are doing this, you may make us lose our original intention."

Xu Tiancai chuckled disdainfully and said, "Original aspiration? Our original aspiration is to make the world a better place. And only if I stand at the highest point can I achieve this goal. If you can't understand, then don't hinder me."

The conversation with Zhang Jie and Mira ended in a bad mood, which made Xu Tiancai more determined. He accelerated his plan and began to contact some external forces to seek more support and resources.

During a meeting with a mysterious businessman, Xu Tiancai talked with him in a secret room.

The mysterious businessman smiled and said, "Xu Tiancai, I've heard about your plan. It's quite ambitious. I can provide you with a large amount of funds and supplies, but what can you give me in return?"

Xu Tiancai said confidently, "You will reap enormous business benefits under this new order. I will ensure that you have priority development opportunities in all areas, and together we will create a prosperous future."

The mysterious businessman thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, deal. But you have to remember, if you fail, I will not end up well, so you must succeed."

As Xu Tiancai's power continued to grow, his conflicts with other forces within the coalition gradually intensified.

At a coalition resource allocation meeting, Xu Tiancai once again proposed to use most of the resources for military construction, which aroused strong opposition from other forces.

A general named General Wang said angrily: "Xu Tiancai, you are going too far! Our people also need resources to rebuild their lives. You can't just consider the military and ignore people's livelihood."

Xu Tiancai looked at General Wang coldly and said, "General Wang, you are too shortsighted. Only a strong military can guarantee the safety and well-being of our people. If we don't strengthen our military now, we won't be able to respond to new threats in the future. We won't just lose our resources, we'll lose the entire world."

The two sides argued endlessly during the meeting, and the atmosphere was very tense. In the end, the meeting had to be temporarily suspended without reaching any consensus.

Xu Tiancai knew that he had to take more decisive action. He began to plan a military exercise, but in fact, he wanted to use this opportunity to show his strength and deter those who opposed him.

During the military exercise, Xu Tiancai personally commanded his troops, demonstrating superb military command skills and strong combat effectiveness. His troops moved swiftly and coordinated well, which amazed the other generals and soldiers present.

After the exercise, Xu Tiancai stood on the podium and shouted to the crowd, "Did you see that? This is our strength! Only under my leadership can we become stronger and gain a foothold in this world."

Some people were impressed by his performance, but more people began to worry about his ambition. Zhang Jie and Mira decided to talk to Xu Tiancai again to try to stop him from going down this dangerous path.

They found Xu Tiancai on a quiet night, and Zhang Jie said sternly, "Xu Tiancai, you can't go on like this. Your actions have caused dissatisfaction among many people, and you will lead the coalition into division and chaos."

Xu Tiancai said disapprovingly, "Zhang Jie, you are always afraid of change and challenges. Everything I do is for our future. If you don't want to be with me, then don't stand in my way."

Mira said anxiously: "Xu Tiancai, we are friends. We don't want to see you go down the wrong path. Think about the days when we fought together. We fought for justice, not for power and ambition."

Xu Tiancai was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps our philosophies no longer align. I'm pursuing a higher goal, while you're content with the status quo. In that case, let's each go our separate ways."

From then on, Xu Tiancai completely broke with Zhang Jie and Mira. He continued to advance his plan and expand his power. The contradictions between him and the opposition forces within the coalition became increasingly acute. A greater conflict was about to break out...
