Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"I agree!"

"We must take everything we can with us!"

"What we can't take with us, we'll destroy, but we absolutely cannot leave it to those shameless Qian people..." President Christy Brandon of Lanxi said viciously, "In short, we can't let the Qian people get away with this!"

"Has our situation in Qianzhou really deteriorated to this extent?" The thought of voluntarily relinquishing all of their colonies in Qianzhou sent a pang of pain through Dickens Cecil, president of the Great Union.

It should be noted that the Gelian people have the most overseas colonies in Qianzhou among the Western Luo countries.

Therefore, if they give up, the ones who will suffer the most are definitely the people of the Great Union...................

If anyone is most nervous about this century-long war that will reshape the world order, it's definitely the Georgians.

Because the strength of the Great Union was built upon its incredibly vast colonial system.

The territory of the Georgian Union is only 30 square kilometers.

However, the overseas colonies controlled by the Georgians reached an astonishing 2600 million square kilometers.

However, due to the limitations of international conventions and the competition and checks and balances among the Western Roman states, these overseas colonies could not be considered true territories in name only.

These colonies were given the name of "delegation" by the Western Roman states, but in reality, the nature of the colonies remained unchanged.

However, calling it "a territory under trusteeship" is more in line with the hypocritical nature of the Western Romans, and slightly conceals their bandit identity.

They used the guise of "temporary management" to euphemistically claim that they were helping the local indigenous people live a better life.

However, the term "administered territory" is only used in a few very formal and public official documents.

The leaders of the Western Luo countries still habitually talk about their overseas colonies.

It seems they're too lazy to even "act" anymore.

Although the Western Romans constantly talk about freedom, democracy, and justice, and proclaim with certainty that their mission is to bring freedom, democracy, and justice to the whole world!

But their actions in the colonies had absolutely nothing to do with the so-called freedom, democracy, and justice they preached.

In the eyes of the Western Romans, the natives of their overseas colonies were their slaves, and slaves had absolutely no human rights.

One can only imagine how humble and helpless the lives of the indigenous people in these overseas colonies under the control of the Western Romans were...

It was precisely because of the existence of these overseas colonies that the Gelian people established their dominant position on the Western Continent.

In Qianzhou alone, the Gelians possessed sixteen colonies.

The total area of ​​the Georgian colonies in Qianzhou was over 500 million square kilometers.

In other words, if the Gelian people were to abandon their overseas colonies in Qianzhou, their overseas colonies would shrink by nearly one-fifth...................

To be honest, anyone who gets into this situation would probably feel a pang of pain!

Therefore, Dickens Cecil, the president of the Union, was very resistant to the proposal to completely abandon the Qianzhou colony.

However, the very detailed analysis by Dunley President Pete Andre made Dickens Cecil understand that for the long-term interests and overall situation of the entire Anti-Qian Alliance and the entire Xiluo Continent.

While Pete Andre's suggestion to "cut their losses" was painful, it was indeed their wisest choice at the moment...

However, even though he had figured this out, Dickens Cecil, as president of the United Federation, was still unwilling to accept such a drastic "cutting off his own flesh".

If there were even the slightest possibility, the Georgian people would never want to cut off such a large piece of flesh all at once!

The other three presidents present were well aware of Dickens Cecil's true intentions.

"I completely understand how President Cecil is feeling right now..."

Seeing Dickens Cecil's gaze constantly glancing at him, Dunley President Pete Andrei said, "However, the current situation is what we are facing."

"My proposal is the most pertinent suggestion based solely on the military intentions of the Daqian Zhenguo Army and the situation faced by our Anti-Qian Alliance."

“As early as when we established the Anti-Qian Alliance, we said that our common ultimate goal is to defeat the Qian people.”

"To achieve this goal, we must consider the overall situation."

"Individual interests must give way to the overall interests."

"To consider the bigger picture, we always need someone to make some sacrifices."

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

"And the people of Qian were the ones who caused all these terrible consequences."

"As long as we can defeat the Qian people, everything we have lost now is only temporary."

"When the day of victory arrives, we will reap far more rewards than we have lost."

"If we can win, we can take back everything we've lost!"

"If we lose..."

At this point, Pet Andrew stopped talking.

Georgia Union President Dickens Cecil did not comment further on Pete Andre's explanation.

After all, from a broader perspective, what they said is absolutely correct.

Dickens Cecil deliberately cast an unfriendly glance at Pete Andre, who had first made the suggestion.

That's because abandoning all of Qianzhou's overseas colonies would have had the least impact on the Dunley people.

Even so small as to be negligible...................

Because—the Dunleys had a colony in Qianzhou, and it was a pitifully small one at that!

It's no wonder that Dickens Cecil, upon hearing Dunley President Pat Andre's suggestion, inevitably had some reservations...

If it weren't for the fact that the Western Luo Kingdoms were forced into an unprecedented state and period of unity due to the threat from the Great Qian Zhenguo Army, this would have been a different story.

If Pete Andrei were to make such a suggestion, Dickens Cecil, as the president of the Georgian Union, would certainly point his finger at him and hurl insults at him without hesitation.

It's even possible that a CEO-level on-site "fight" might actually take place.........................

“How about…” President Violet Algernon of Prun looked at Dickens Cecil, who seemed to have tacitly accepted this reluctant decision, and said, “Let’s go through the voting process and vote on it?”

“This matter cannot be delayed; a final decision must be made today.” Dunley President Pete Andrei said, raising his hand first: “The sooner we execute the evacuation plan, the more resources we can transfer back.”

"We must race against time with the Qian people!"

“That’s right! We can’t let the Qian people get such a big advantage. We should transfer what can be transported as soon as possible, and burn what cannot be transported on the spot.” President Christy Brandon of Lanxi was the second to raise his hand.

Plun President Violet Algernon did not say anything more and silently raised his hand.

Then, all three of them focused their attention on Dickens Cecil, the president of the Great Northern League......................

"For the sake of the bigger picture, what else is there to say...?"

Looking at the other three who had already raised their hands, Glenn President Dickens Cecil shrugged with feigned "ease".

Then, Dickens Cecil gave a bitter smile that was more like a grimace, and finally raised his hand: "Let's hope that the price we've paid for this just war won't be in vain."

"God certainly won't just stand by and watch these demons run rampant in the world, right?"

"Justice will ultimately prevail over evil!"

Dickens Cecil, while raising his hand, also invoked God in a self-comforting manner...................
