Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"The Eagle Falcon missile can be loaded with not only conventional explosives, but also various biological and chemical warfare agents."

Salo's president, Kolcraw Glenn, had a fierce glint in his eyes: "The war has come to this point, we can't afford to worry about anything else!"

"President, you mean......................"

"To use prohibited weapons in the defense of the Port Regan River?" Sharo Defense Minister Bernard Levay looked at Kolklaf Grant in surprise, fearing he might have misunderstood.

Throughout the battles with the Daqian Zhenguo Army, no matter how protracted the fighting became, the Anti-Qian Allied Army always adhered to the rules of engagement agreed upon with the Daqian side before the battle.

It strictly limits the types of weapons that are prohibited by the rules of engagement.

After all, the methods used by the Daqian Zhenguo Army on the battlefield in the barbarian lands were a vivid nightmare for the entire anti-Qian alliance.

They had no doubt that if they were the first to break the rules of engagement and illegally use prohibited weapons, they would inevitably face an incredibly fierce retaliatory action from the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

Once this war devolves into indiscriminate fighting, the entire anti-Qian alliance fears they won't be able to withstand the madness of the Qian people...

Therefore, the Anti-Gan Alliance has repeatedly emphasized the importance of fighting under the rules of engagement.

Of course, this is not because the Western Roman countries have had a change of heart or because they are adhering to humanitarianism as they constantly proclaim in their slogans.

This was purely because they were afraid that the Anti-Qian Alliance would suffer a great loss in front of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army if they fought without rules!

Therefore, what Kolcliffe Glen just said really startled Bernard Levay, the defense minister of Sharo.

She even doubted whether she had misheard or misunderstood the president's meaning.

After all, as the president of Salo, Kolcraw Grant couldn't possibly be unaware of the serious consequences that would result from doing so...

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

"Correct!"

"As I just said—we must not allow the Daqian Zhenguo Army to cross the Gangligen River at any cost!"

In response to Bernard Levay's question, Sharo President Kolcraw Glenn nodded grimly: "The defense upgrade plan for the capital city is not yet complete."

"Our absolute air defense perimeter is not properly deployed either."

"If the Daqian Zhenguo army breaks through the Gangligen River at this time, the capital city will be in a dangerous situation with no natural defenses!"

"If the city defense renovation plan has been completed, we can rely on the city defense system to cooperate with the outer defense forces to attack the Daqian Zhenguo Army."

"By then, we will be no less capable than the Qian people in terms of air superiority or long-range strike capabilities!"

"Even if the Chinese cross the Gangligan River, we are confident that we can keep them out of the capital."

"But the situation is completely different now!"

Kolcraw Glenn slammed his fist on the table in a bad mood: "The city's defense system has not yet been upgraded, and all deployments and defense projects are still incomplete."

"Under these circumstances, once the Qian people break through the Gangligen River, it will be very difficult for us to stop the advance of the Daqian Zhenguo army."

"At that time, the Great Qian Zhenguo Army will soon be at the gates of the capital city!"

"When that time comes, do you think we should abandon the capital city or vow to live and die with it?"

"Without a comprehensive defense system for the capital city, who knows how long it can hold out!"

"Therefore," Kolcliffe Glen said with a ferocious expression, "we absolutely cannot let the Qian people cross the river!"

"We must accomplish this operational objective by any means necessary."

As he spoke, Kolcliffe Glenn looked around at the high-ranking Sharo generals present and emphasized, "What I mean is—including the use of prohibited weapons!"

"For the sake of all of Salo, I don't mind being the villain!"

"This is war! We have no other choice..."

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself!"

"If we can't even protect our own country, what's the point of talking about mercy or cruelty?"

"At this stage of the war, we must fight with all our might and by any means necessary!"

"As long as we can be the final victor, then everything is worth it!"

"At that time, all the cruel methods you used before can be eliminated."

"Because—history is always written by the victors!"

"Just like what the people of Qian Kingdom did in Yi Kingdom, we all know what really happened on the battlefield in Yi Kingdom back then."

"However, apart from our Anti-Qian Alliance, everyone else follows the official statements of the Qian Kingdom!"

"It's conceivable that if the people of Qian Kingdom ultimately emerge victorious in this war, no one will know or care about the truths that unfolded on the battlefield in Yi Kingdom!"

"Don't forget, everyone—we, the Salo people, are now at the forefront!"

Kolcliffe Glen waved his fist menacingly: "The Glenn, the Dunli, the Lanxi, and the Prun can certainly shout their slogans loudly."

"Of course they can keep clamoring to conduct battlefield warfare within a humanitarian framework!"

"That's entirely because they're talking without understanding the situation!"

"Every day, it is we, the Sharo people, who are fighting desperately on the front lines against the Qian Kingdom people..."

"Once the Daqian Zhenguo Army marches onto their territory, let's see if they'll still spout nonsense about benevolence and morality, and if they'll still abide by the so-called rules of engagement!"

"To hell with them! They definitely won't follow any of those damn rules of engagement then..."

As he spoke, Kolcraw Glenn turned his gaze to Bernard Levay, the Sharo Defense Minister who had raised the question: "Don't talk to me about violating alliance decisions and rules of engagement!"

"The people of Qian Kingdom are about to reach the capital city, what do we care about rules now?"

"Everyone knows—the capital city cannot be lost!"

Kolcraw Grant slammed his fist on the table, his voice trembling with emotion: "The current situation is unlike any war before."

"In past wars, we could temporarily evacuate the capital city for overall strategic considerations."

"But this time, if we abandon the capital, our hard-won morale will be crushed again!"

"Our hard-won confidence in victory will be ruthlessly torn apart!"

"Our army will once again enter a state of 'fear of drought'..."

Kolcliffe Glenn continued in an unequivocal tone: "We cannot expect an army that has lost its fighting spirit and hope to defeat the Great Qian Zhenguo Army!"

"Therefore, as President Sharo, I cannot stand by and watch this situation unfold."

"If it is necessary to win this war by any means necessary."

"Then we have no other choice!"

Kolcraw Grant's tone was resolute: "Right now, we shouldn't be thinking about the possible furious retaliation from the Qian people."

"Instead, we must do everything in our power to ensure the capital city is not lost!"

"In fact—even if the people of Qian Kingdom want revenge, we have nothing to fear!"

Kolcraw Glenn's eyes gleamed with madness: "Don't forget—Qian Kingdom has 20 billion people..."

"If we continue fighting recklessly and without regard for consequences, they will be the ones who suffer!"

“We have the support of the entire Anti-Drought Alliance.”

"If we include non-military targets in our strike range, we are fully capable of attacking the coastal areas of Qian State from the sea and the air."

"Given the population size of the Qian Kingdom, we certainly won't suffer a loss!"

Kolcliffe Glen said viciously, "The people of Qian are ruthless, so we must be even more ruthless than them!"

"If they retaliate fiercely, then we must be even fiercer than them!"

"We will fight to the bitter end, no matter what means they use."

"Even if the whole world is destroyed because of this, it's not a big deal!"

"If Sharo is gone, then there's no point in this world continuing to exist!"
