Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"All right!"

"Since the military is remarkably united on this issue..."

After careful consideration, Georgian Union President Dickens Cecil compromised with the pro-war faction: "Let's execute the preemptive strike strategy."

Although, according to the special period decree, Dickens Cecil, as the president of the Georgian Union, has absolute power in the Georgian Union.

However, with a major war imminent, Dickens Cecil did not want to cause any unpleasantness with the pro-war faction of the Georgian military.

After all, the entire Georgian Union is now counting on the performance of the Georgian army on the battlefield.

Therefore, due to strong opposition from the pro-war faction within the Georgian military, Dickens Cecil had to abandon his plan to have one last round of talks with the Prun people before the official start of the war.

"However, if we are to adopt a preemptive strategy, we must reach a consensus with Dunley and Lansey."

"We need to act simultaneously from the three sides: Greenland, Dunley, and Lanxi. Only in this way can we ensure that we gain a sufficiently large first-mover advantage."

"How about this..."

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, I will personally communicate with the Green Alliance and Lanxi after the meeting—meet with Dunley President Pete Andre and Lanxi President Christy Brandon in advance."

"At that time, I will explain in detail to President Andrew and President Brandon the advantages of our preemptive strategy."

"Based on intelligence and the current situation, although the Prun people have clearly stated their intention to lead the crusade against the Gren, Dunli, and Lanxi."

"However, the punitive expedition has not yet made the final preparations and deployments for the war."

"It will take them at least a month to complete the deployment."

"After all, the punitive expedition has many member states, and coordinating many things is not easy."

"That does seem to be the case right now—the extermination organization needs at least a month to complete its final preparations."

"But we still need to hurry."

"Every day of delay increases the risk."

“The worst thing about this is that things get complicated if we delay,” said Goldsmith Antonio, the Georgian Minister of Defense. “Actually, we could have acted first and then consulted with the Dunley and Lancy people.”

"If we reveal this information to Dunley and Lansey, it will inevitably increase the risk of this matter being leaked."

"If our preemptive strike plan is leaked, the Puren people will definitely strike before we do!"

"In that case, we will still lose the initiative..."

Georgian Defense Minister Goldsmith Antonio's views immediately garnered support from a large number of pro-war senior generals.

"So when do you mean to make your move?" Dickens Cecil frowned. "Such an important operation requires a detailed and feasible plan."

"It takes time to formulate such a large and meticulous battle plan."

"Before the military formulates a plan..."

"Mr. President, we were just about to report to you—in fact, the military has already developed a very comprehensive operational plan."

"We were originally planning to present this plan to you today..."

"What? The military has already drawn up a detailed battle plan?" Dickens Cecil said unhappily, "It seems you guys are quite efficient!"

"Let's get straight to the point—when does the military want to make its move?"

“Seven days from now!” Georgian Defense Minister Goldsmith Antonio immediately gave a precise answer: “As long as the President agrees to the military’s preemptive action plan, our troops can be fully in place within seven days according to the plan!”

"Alright, since the military is so confident in this war, then go ahead and do it..."

"I respect the military's decision and I trust their professional judgment and capabilities."

"Then let's decide on this. According to the military's plan, we will launch a military operation against the punitive organization in seven days."

"Defense Chief Antonio..................."

As he spoke, Dickens Cecil looked at Georgian Defense Minister Goldsmith Antonio: "Defense Minister Antonio, after the meeting I would like you to personally bring this operational plan to my office."

"As the president of the United Nations, I can't possibly be completely ignorant of the plans for the upcoming military operation!"

Dickens Cecil's words carried a clear sense of dissatisfaction—the Georgian military had already prepared to launch an attack without his knowledge.

This is absolutely a challenge to the CEO's authority...................

"Yes, Mr. President."

Georgian Defense Minister Goldsmith Antonio seemed oblivious to Dickens Cecil's displeasure: "I will personally explain the military's operational plans to you in detail later..."

As Georgia's defense minister and a fervent supporter of war, Goldsmith Antonio could not possibly fail to understand Dickens Cecil's implication.

However, in the eyes of the pro-war faction—as long as their preemptive strike plan can ultimately be executed, the president's feelings and emotions are negligible...

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

three days later.

Within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty—the Imperial Capital.

"what?"

"Do the Gelians want to strike before the Purens?"

"That's quite novel..."

Have the people of Georgia become so "brave" now?

"According to our information, the pro-war faction within the Georgian military had already formulated a preemptive action plan without the knowledge of Georgian President Dickens Cecil."

"Furthermore, the pro-war faction within the Georgian coalition was even preparing to carry out this plan behind Dickens Cecil's back."

"However, after learning of this plan, Dickens Cecil ultimately approved the Georgian military's operational plan..."

"Thinking about it, it makes sense—if Dickens Cecil were to have a falling out with the Georgian military at this time, he could be kicked out at any moment."

After listening to Chen Guyan's report, Shen Moshen nodded thoughtfully: "The situation in Xiluo is changing rapidly right now!"

"Many things have exceeded our expectations..."

"Faced with such immense public pressure, none of the three presidents—Dickens Cecil, President of Great Britain, Pete Andre, President of Dunley, and Christy Brandon, President of Lancy—resigned from their positions."

Shen Moshen smiled and said, "This is completely different from what I expected."

"This is because the Western Continent is currently implementing a special period president mechanism."

"Under this mechanism, the president will not be allowed to continue serving as president unless he commits treason or is proven to be incapable of continuing in his position."

"Otherwise, no matter how much the people of Xiluo protest, as long as he does not resign voluntarily, his position as president will not be removed."

Chen Guyan said, "However, the reason why the president of the United Nations, Dickens Cecil, was not dismissed is ultimately because he did not fall out with the military."

"It is estimated that if Dickens Cecil had not supported the preemptive plan of the Georgian military's pro-war faction."

"He may very well become the first president of the Georgian Federation in its history to be ousted by the military..."

"So, these pro-war factions in the Georgian military are quite confident about this war."

Shen Moshen looked at the world map on the wall and shook his head: "According to the Gelian people's plan, the flames of war will ignite on the Western Luo Continent in four days."

"The Prun people probably didn't expect that the Gelian people would strike first..."

"Perhaps this preemptive plan by the Gelian people can really catch Prun off guard."

"Commander, should we use special channels to leak the news that the Gelian people are preparing to make the first move to the Puren people?"

“Let the Pulun people know…” Shen Moshen thought for a moment, “It’s better not to.”

"let it go."

"We shouldn't get too involved in how the Western Roman Empire fights, lest we create unnecessary complications."

"For our Great Qian Dynasty, the most important thing is that a war can break out in Xiluo."

"Anyway, we've done everything we were supposed to do."

"We've already given the Pulen people a lot of help."

"How well they perform next is their own business."

"Regardless of which side gains the upper hand, there is only one thing we need to do—wait and see, and then decisively enter the fray at the most opportune moment to reap the rewards!"

"By the way, while Xiluo is preoccupied with its own problems, it's time to close in on the remnants of the barbarian tribes in the Macana Islands."

Shen Moshen looked at the location of the Makan Islands on the map and said slowly, "I heard that those remnants of the barbarian tribes are quite motivated after arriving at the Makan Islands?"

"Yes! It's definitely quite full..."

Chen Guyan smiled and said, "According to our investigation, the number of remnants of the Yi Kingdom who have gathered in the Macana Islands from all over the world to participate in the construction of the new Yi Kingdom is about to exceed three million!"

"After the warships of the foreign fleet were almost completely divided up by Prun, Glen, Dunley, and Blue Watermelon."

"As compensation, the four kingdoms of the Western Roma provided a large amount of army equipment to the barbarians of the Macana Islands 'free of charge'."

"This also includes a number of tanks and heavy artillery."

"According to intelligence, the remnants of the Yi Kingdom in the Macana Islands have assembled a regular army of nearly 200,000 people."

"However, this force was mostly reorganized from the barbarian navy that had lost its ships..."

"Nearly 20..." Shen Moshen sighed, "It seems there were quite a few who slipped through the net back then!"

"What weapons did Prun, Gren, Dunli, and Lanxi provide to the barbarians?"

"Are they really that generous?"

“Indeed, they weren’t that generous…” Chen Guyan then explained, “All that Pulun, Glenn, Dunli, and Lanxi provided to the Yi people were their old equipment that they had replaced.”

"The Western Roman countries are now equipped with assault rifles as standard equipment, but they are providing the barbarians with bolt-action rifles that they have phased out."

"The proportion of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns is very small."

"As for tanks, they won't be given any new ones—they'll all be outdated light and medium tanks."

"However, the policy that the Gelian, Dunli, Lanxi and Prun people implemented towards the Yi people was that these weapons were given away for free."

"But this does not include ammunition and accessories!"

"Therefore, the barbarians still have to spend extra money to buy ammunition and spare parts for these outdated equipment that were phased out by the Western Kingdom..."

"These guys are really ruthless," Shen Moshen laughed. "They divided up the other side's fleet one minute, and then treated the barbarians like suckers to be disposed of."

"They don't treat the barbarians like human beings at all here..."

"However, I like it—they did the right thing!"

"It has gathered nearly 300 million remnants of the barbarian tribes, which is quite a number."

"It seems that the remnants of the barbarian tribes scattered around the world are quite keen on rebuilding the new barbarian kingdom."

"Although the environment in the Macana Islands is a bit poor, at least it's a place to stay."

Shen Moshen glanced at the Makan Islands on the map and said casually, "Then let's prepare to close the net."

"This time we must learn from our previous mistakes."

"If we're going to take them in, we should do it cleanly and efficiently, and not let any of these remnants of the barbarian tribes escape."

"If we miss any more this time, we won't have such a good chance to clean up later."

"All of this must be based on comprehensive and accurate intelligence."

"So, whether the operation to take down the Makan Islands can be successfully completed depends on how well your secret intelligence agency performs!"

"understand!"

Chen Guyan immediately assured Shen Moshen, "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff."

"This time, we will not give these remnants of the barbarian kingdoms any chance to struggle."

"One principle—either don't do it, or do it thoroughly!"
