Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

A few days later, the Anti-Qian Alliance expressed its desire for a complete ceasefire and reconciliation to the capital.

It was also stated that if the capital agrees to a ceasefire and reconciliation, the Anti-Qian Alliance will respect Sharo's "autonomous" choice.

Regardless of whether they choose to become the Protectorate General of the Great Qian Empire or not, the Anti-Qian Alliance will never interfere.

The capital city—the supreme command headquarters.

What are your thoughts on the Anti-Qian Alliance's request for a ceasefire and reconciliation?

Shen Moshen convened a high-level meeting specifically to address the reconciliation request from the Anti-Qian Alliance.

"The reconciliation terms offered by the Western Ro people this time are quite sincere."

"However, whether we agree to a reconciliation or not, the Bolahs are definitely going to be in big trouble."

Ge Daqiang smiled and said, "The people of Pulun are quite cunning; they never seem to suffer a loss."

"Commander-in-Chief, our Great Qian Zhenguo Army is confident in completely defeating the Xiluo people's anti-Qian coalition."

"Now that the situation on the Shaluo side is largely settled, we can advance into the Western Luo Continent at any time!"

"Wouldn't it be too much of a loss for us to agree to a ceasefire and reconciliation at this time?"

"Yes, Commander! We're getting better and better at this. Once we've dealt with the Sharo side, we can march straight in and give these Western Luo people a good beating!"

"Aren't the Gelian, Dunli, Lanxi, and Prun people pretty arrogant?"

"Perfect timing to deal with them!"

"Just when we were about to break through the gates of Xiluo, they shamelessly came to beg for peace."

"They can just start and stop whenever they want? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Exactly! We've given them chances, but they didn't appreciate it, so there's nothing more to say."

"If you ask me, let's go all out and strike straight at the heart of these Western Romans."

"Isn't the headquarters of the Anti-Qian Alliance formed by the Xiluo people located in Gedun, Gelian? Let's just march straight to Gedun and take down the banner of the Anti-Qian Alliance!"

Clearly, the generals of the Daqian Zhenguo Army did not want to stop at this time.

With morale high, the soldiers are all geared up and ready to fight a great battle!

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

"There are advantages to fighting and advantages to making peace."

Ge Daqiang smiled and said, "However, I think it would be good to stop for now and properly organize the territories of Dongzhou and Shaluo."

"Moreover, during this period, we can also let the Western Luo kingdoms fight amongst themselves and exhaust each other!"

"That will save us a lot of trouble."

"You hit the nail on the head!" Shen Moshen looked at Ge Daqiang with admiration: "In fact, everyone can clearly see a problem through the attitude of the Pulun people towards Bola."

"That is—although the Western Luo Kingdoms formed the so-called Anti-Qian Alliance due to the threat of our Great Qian Zhenguo Army, they did indeed carry out a series of unprecedented unity and cooperation."

"However, as the old saying goes—a leopard can't change its spots..."

“As long as there are benefits to be had, the Western Luo kingdoms will absolutely not be polite.”

"So-called allies are worthless in the face of self-interest and can be betrayed at any time!"

"Just like what the Prun people are doing to the Bola people now."

"Prun President Violet Algernon is still very shrewd."

Shen Moshen paused for a moment, then continued, "What Algernon is planning is clear to everyone in the capital."

"The Pulun people have wanted to swallow up Bola's territory for quite some time now."

"We've finally got our chance."

"Moreover, the Gelian, Dunli, and Lanxi people must have all guessed the true intentions of the Prun people."

"But they just can't object."

"Because, according to the Pulun people, they are taking over Bola on behalf of the Anti-Qian Alliance."

“At that time, Prun will turn Bola into a military buffer zone.”

"This is undoubtedly a more favorable approach than a more favorable one in terms of overall situation."

"Therefore, the Western Roman states know perfectly well that President Violet Algernon of Prun has ulterior motives and is using public office for private gain in his dealings with Bora!"

"But they also did not want to risk offending the Prun people on the issue of Bola."

"Because the Western Luo Kingdoms are also worried—they are afraid of angering the Pulun people, and that the Pulun people will turn around and cooperate with our Great Qian."

"In that case, the Anti-Dryness Alliance's reputation will be practically ruined..."

"These events also exposed the fatal weaknesses of the anti-Gansu alliance."

"The alliance among the Western Luo kingdoms appears unprecedentedly strong and united, but in reality, their unity is as fragile as a bubble..."

"In the end, no matter how loudly the Western Luo countries shout their slogans, if they were really asked to make sacrifices for the so-called anti-Qian alliance, I'm afraid no one would be willing to be the sucker."

"Aren't the Bolahs a perfect example?"

"According to information obtained by the Secret Intelligence Bureau—before this, the Bora people had really bragged to the heavens about getting free aid from the Western Luo Kingdoms!"

"They're practically swearing oaths, constantly shouting that they want to fight to the death with our Great Qian Zhenguo Army, to let us experience the fighting spirit of the Bola army!"

"Now that's it, when it's time for them to 'show their power,' they immediately feel like they've been taken advantage of."

“The Bolah people absolutely do not want to be cannon fodder for the Anti-Gan Alliance.”

"This gave President Violet Algernon of Plen the opportunity to make a fuss about it."

"Therefore, it is not difficult to divide the Western Luo kingdoms."

"Now that the Anti-Qian Alliance has taken the initiative to propose a ceasefire and reconciliation."

"Furthermore, he proactively proposed a series of conditions that are more favorable to our Great Qian Dynasty, and I agree with Lao Ge's point of view."

"We can stop for now and wait until we've settled things with the Eastern Continent and the Shaluo Protectorate."

"We'll gradually develop plans for Xiluo; this arrangement is quite good..."

"If we can subdue the enemy without fighting, that would be the best outcome for us."

"This will also allow our soldiers of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army to complete the court's reshaping of the world order with as few casualties as possible."

“Old Ge, you represented the court in the last negotiation, so you should do it again this time.”

"If the conditions are right, then let's call a truce."

"Chief, what should we do about Bola?"

Ge Daqiang then asked for instructions: "The Bolahs are also well aware of Vaolet Algernon's ambitions."

"After weighing the pros and cons, the Anti-Qian Alliance has approved the Pulun army to take over Bola's territory."

“Bola was essentially abandoned by the Anti-Gan Alliance.”

"Therefore, Bola also sent a secret envoy seeking the protection of our Great Qian Zhenguo Army......................"

"Didn't the Anti-Gansu Alliance say that?"

Shen Moshen thought for a moment and said, "If it comes to peace talks, they hope that the Great Qian side will not interfere in the internal affairs of their alliance."

"The Anti-Qian Alliance has already listed Bola as a traitor to the alliance, so it is the Anti-Qian Alliance's 'family matter' to punish the traitor by taking military action against Bola."

"Since we are all prepared to agree to peace talks with the Anti-Gan Alliance, let them solve the problem of Bola themselves."

"However, if you have the opportunity to meet the Prun envoy alone, you can subtly let the Prun people know about it in private."

"The reason we don't interfere in the Bola issue is also to give the Pulun people face."

"First, use the Bola incident to do the Pulun people a favor."

"It might come in very handy in the future..."

"Understood. I'll handle the Bolamit envoy's side." Ge Daqiang nodded. "The Pulun people really got lucky this time!"

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

"Since the Anti-Qian Alliance has tacitly approved of the Shaluo issue, the progress in the capital city should be accelerated."

"This matter was orchestrated by the Secret Intelligence Bureau, so the Secret Intelligence Bureau should take full responsibility for it."

After discussing Bola's issue, Shen Moshen gave instructions to Chen Guyan, the head of the Secret Intelligence Bureau.

"Understood! Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, everything has been arranged in the capital city."

Chen Guyan said with great certainty, "The whole plan is going even more smoothly than we expected."

"Most Salo people are still very pragmatic."

"Most importantly, most Salo people have no goodwill toward the Western Salo kingdoms."

"After this period of stirring up trouble and guiding public opinion, more and more Salo people believe that joining the Great Qian Dynasty can bring them a better life..."

"That's right!" Shen Moshen nodded in satisfaction. "Time will tell."

"Joining the Great Qian Dynasty will definitely bring them a better life than before, that's beyond doubt!"

"By the way, how's the handover of the technical documents going?"

"This is an unexpected bonus from our operation!"

"The technical data shared by the Anti-Dryness Alliance is still very useful..."

"The technical data and related technical personnel stored in the capital city are already on their way to be transferred."

"However, many technology research labs are located in other parts of Salo."

"The technical data and related technical personnel stored outside the capital city will have to wait a while before they can be received."

"After all, Sharo has not yet formally surrendered to us in name."

"Yes, that's true." Shen Moshen nodded. "Thank you for your hard work on this trip to the capital."

"By risking your life to ensure the success of the entire operation and achieving the current situation and results, you, as the director of the intelligence bureau, deserve the greatest credit!"

"You flatter me, Chief of Staff! Our Secret Intelligence Bureau was just doing our job."

"Without the overall control of the Chief of Staff, we wouldn't have the excellent situation we have today..."

"Once this busy period is over, I'll grant you a special vacation so you can properly travel around this beautiful country."

"However, right now your secret intelligence agency will have to work hard to ensure a smooth transition of Sharo to the Protectorate."

"Also, you must ensure the safe and successful return of those technical documents and related technical teams in Salo."

"This is a great opportunity for us to gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Xiluo Technology."

"The reason why the Anti-Gan Alliance is in such a hurry and has offered such 'open' conditions to negotiate with us is largely because of the top-secret technical information they previously shared with Sharo."

"Therefore, although the Western Luo kingdoms claim they will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Sharo people, they certainly won't just stand by and watch those technical data fall into our hands..."

"During the peace talks, the intelligence agencies of the Western Luo countries will do everything in their power to destroy and damage the technical data within the territory of the Western Luo."

"They might even target and silence those technical teams!"

"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff." Chen Guyan then assured Shen Moshen, "Our Secret Intelligence Bureau has made very thorough arrangements regarding this matter."

"Now, the research institutes and key researchers within the territory of Salo are under our control."

"The Westerners won't have it so easy to cause trouble right under the nose of our secret intelligence agency!"

"Yes, I trust your secret intelligence agency to do things right."

Shen Moshen smiled and said, "The whole world now regards our Great Qian's secret intelligence bureau as the world's number one special intelligence agency."

"This is definitely a case of the latecomer surpassing the master, and the student surpassing the teacher!"

"In the past, the Xiluo people's intelligence agencies were known for being all-pervasive and omnipotent!"

"Now, the Secret Intelligence Agency has shown them through its actions what true omnipresence and omnipotence mean..."

"Oh, right!" At this point, Shen Moshen suddenly remembered something else: "Your secret intelligence agency really needs to step up its efforts in the global campaign to eliminate the remnants of the foreign powers."

"I've heard that these remnants of the barbarian kingdom are incorrigible and are always thinking of ways to cause trouble."

“Now that the Anti-Qian Alliance wants to negotiate with us, these remnants of the barbarian state will definitely jump out and cause trouble.”

"These disgusting bastards, I won't be able to get rid of this thorn in my side until they're all gone..."

"Please give us some more time, Chief of Staff."

"We have never let our guard down on this matter."

"However, most of the remnants of the Yi Kingdom are hiding in the Western Luo Continent, which has brought great inconvenience to our elimination work."

Chen Guyan said seriously, "However, we already have further plans."

"I guarantee that the Secret Intelligence Bureau will remove this thorn in the Chief's side as soon as possible!"
