Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Just as undercurrents were swirling in the capital city.

Ferguson Fitzgerald left the Shallo Guards Commander Edgeworth Jeremy on the night of his departure.

The Daqian Zhenguo Army then launched a full-scale offensive on the Shaluo battlefield, with more than five million troops pressing forward.

Operation codenamed "Thunder Strike" was thus launched.

More than 50,000 combat aircraft and 200,000 tanks swept in from all directions.

Tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces, self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers, and the latest improved version of the V-2 missile were deployed to the battlefield.

The Shaluo army was caught off guard by the sudden, all-out offensive of the Daqian Zhenguo army.

The Daqian Zhenguo Army's advance was aimed directly at the Gangligen River.

The port city of Regan is about 360 kilometers from the capital city, and the land is mostly flat.

In other words, the Gangligan River is the last natural barrier standing in the capital city.

Once the Daqian Zhenguo army crosses the Gangligen River, they can quickly advance to the city walls!

-------------------------------------

First City – President Salo's Residence.

"Heaven knows why the people of Qian Kingdom suddenly went mad!"

"This is the largest and most intense all-out offensive launched by the Daqian Zhenguo Army since the start of the war."

"None of the intelligence we had previously obtained indicated that the Qian Kingdom would undertake such an operation!"

"Didn't the intelligence we obtained a few days ago indicate that the Daqian Zhenguo Army was temporarily slowing down its offensive?"

"Have we been deceived by the Qian people again?"

Salo President Kolcraw Glenn glared angrily at Salo Intelligence Minister Trevicon Ifley: "How exactly do you conduct your intelligence work?"

"President, the actions of the Qian Kingdom this time were too sudden."

“The intelligence we received before was all repeatedly verified,” said Trevicon Ifry, the intelligence minister of Sharo, helplessly. “None of the intelligence reports contained this information.”

"The intelligence shared by the alliance also found no basis for the Daqian Zhenguo army to suddenly launch such a large-scale offensive......................"

Faced with an enraged and demanding question from Salo president Kolcraw Glenn, Trevicon Ifley directly escalated the intelligence issue to a systemic intelligence failure across the entire alliance.

And this reason is indeed plausible.

After all, in order to counter the Daqian Zhenguo Army, the Anti-Qian Alliance has long since implemented comprehensive intelligence sharing.

The fact that the intelligence agencies of the Western Luo kingdoms failed to discover any relevant information means that it cannot be simply attributed to the incompetence and dereliction of duty of the Luo intelligence department...

"Is that the reason?" Salo President Kolcraw Glenn slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage. "At this rate..."

"I'm afraid it won't be more than half a month before the Daqian Zhenguo army reaches the Gangligen River!"

Upon hearing Kolcliffe Glen's words, the senior generals of the Sharo present all changed their expressions and began to whisper among themselves.

As he listened to the discussions around him, Edgeworth Jeremy, commander of the Salo Guards, frowned thoughtfully.

While deep in thought, Edgeworth Jeremy turned his gaze to Obadiah Cleveland, who had just taken over as Minister of the Interior of Salo less than two months earlier.

If we were to pinpoint the most pressured position among the high-ranking officials in the Salo region, it would undoubtedly be the once-glorious Minister of Home Affairs.

In less than six months, Sara has already had three different Ministers of Home Affairs.

The first husband defected to the enemy country, and the second husband reportedly died of sudden cardiac arrest due to excessive work pressure.

Obadiah Cleveland was essentially appointed as the new Minister of the Interior of Sharo in a time of crisis.

Clearly, Edgeworth Jeremy has not yet informed Obadiah Cleveland of the possibility that Chen Guyan might come to the capital.

At least not yet...

Because Edgeworth Jeremy hadn't yet decided whether or not to use Chen Guyan to claim credit.

After all, this decision directly concerns the future of Edgeworth Jeremy and his entire family.

Choosing the right path leads to a permanent solution; choosing the wrong path leads to an abyss of no return...

Ultimately, it's a matter of betting; the Anti-Qian Alliance and the Great Qian will one day determine a winner.

Now Edgeworth Jeremy is betting on the final winner!

This is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult choice...

However, the sudden "thunderous attack" launched by the Daqian Zhenguo Army helped Edgeworth Jeremy make up his mind.

After a brief moment of distraction, Edgeworth Jeremy looked away from Obadiah Cleveland, the Home Secretary of Sharo, thus completely abandoning his plan to report the matter to the Home Office.

Because Edgeworth Jeremy had reason to believe that the sudden "Thunder Strike" operation launched by the Daqian Zhenguo Army might have been a show for him!

To help Edgeworth Jeremy make his final decision through concrete actions.

Now, Edgeworth Jeremy roughly understood why Chen Guyan had agreed to personally make the trip to the capital city...

That makes sense—someone of Chen Guyan's status wouldn't risk his life if he wasn't absolutely certain of his safety!

After figuring all this out, Edgeworth Jeremy couldn't help but feel a surge of relief that he hadn't dialed the Ministry of the Interior.

Seeing Kolcraw Grant, who was only interested in cursing, Edgeworth Jeremy lost all confidence in the strategy devised by the Qian Alliance to block the enemy at Sharo and seize the opportunity to counterattack the Qian homeland....................

"The Gangligan River is the last natural barrier leading to the capital city."

"We must stop the Daqian Zhenguo Army at the Gangligen River at any cost!"

Having vented his anger, Kolcraw Grant surveyed the crowd, brandishing his fist menacingly: "We're going to have a decisive battle with the Gan people at the Port Regan River!"

"I've already communicated with Prun."

"They will provide a large number of Falcon missiles as soon as possible to complete their deployment before the Chinese advance to the Reagan River port."

"At that time, these Falcon missiles will be deployed as our secret weapons in the Battle of the Reagan River!"
