Chapter 1300 – Fight that Benefits the Third Party

In the end, William’s hard work was all for naught.

With the Mediterranean trade route being blocked, the House of Tudor became the biggest victim. All the products sold to them doubled in price at the very least.

The price of goods rapidly increased in the territory, and the civilians cried out in pain.

The Spain, Gaule, and Caesar dynasties stepped onto the corpse of the House of Tudor; they were earning big.

The words of William had no convincing ability.

After all, the combined patrolling of the three squadrons was a plan that they all decided on before. The actions of the three squadrons did in fact impact the Ottoman Dynasty.

The House of Tudor felt pain, but so did the Ottoman Dynasty.

This matter ended with no breakthrough in the end.

William ate a silent loss, but he could only learn from Henry and swallow it in silence. He could only hope for the Alliance Army to take down the Ottoman Dynasty soon to win the House of Tudor a safe strategic space.

…

5th month, 5th day, Imperial Capital.

In this round of world war, Great Xia had no presence, but they seemed to be everywhere. They were like a giant beast in the darkness, staring at all of them fight.

They were patiently waiting for the best time to strike.

The current Ouyang Shuo could be like the controller of Azure Badge and Silver Hand, going from a chess piece into the chess master of the world.

Although Ouyang Shuo was a newbie, he had huge influence.

The officials in the Imperial Court realized that his majesty had become calmer, reaching a realm of relaxation. He did not spend an entire day reading memorials and pretty much became a lot freer.

For example, now.

5th month, Imperial City, the weather became warm once more.

Within the imperial garden, the sun shone down. Hundreds of flowers bloom, and the birds chirped. On the swing where creepers grew into, the laughter of a young girl spread out.

She was the little princess, Ouyang Luo. She, who would be three years old in 10 days, was at the most playful age of her life. Her white skirt danced in the air and her black hair floated in the wind. She looke like a little fairy.

Ouyang Shuo was the one pushing the swing.

The current Ouyang Shuo was not the iron-blooded emperor filled with killing intent and feared by many. He was a father who doted on his daughter and fooled around with her.

Not far away, Yu’er was monitored by imperial bodyguard Wang Feng and was doing basic martial arts. Although his young face was covered with beads of sweat, he showed a stubborn and determined face.

Yu’er’s personality was exactly the same as Ouyang Shuo when he was young.

A minister stood beside Ouyang Shuo – Du Ruhui.

Such a scene did not surprise Du Ruhui. He stood at the side and reported on the South America, Africa, and Europe situation.

Although the emperor looked like he was focusing on pushing the swing and was not looking at him, Du Ruhui knew that every word he said was being picked up.

If the report contained any mistakes, his majesty would turn around and give him an eye. When the calm Du Ruhui saw that, he would unknowingly feel nervous.

Hence, every minister who rushed over to the imperial garden to report would be really careful.

However, they could not show the nervousness. After all, the little prince and princess were there, so they could not lose their face.

As such, before they came to report, they would vet through and practice multiple times to ensure that nothing was wrong.

When Du Ruhui finished, Ouyang Shuo did not turn around and said expressionlessly, “Good; the fish has taken the bait. You can tell Han Xin that he can set off. As for the specifics, he can decide for himself.”

Du Ruhui nodded and asked, “Your majesty, how do we reply to Africa?”

“Wait for a while longer. The time is not right; let them delay a while longer.” Ouyang Shuo did not seem to realize that with just this one sentence, countless people would have to die and continue to face the hardship of war.

Maybe he did, but he did not do anything about it.

Du Ruhui said, “Azure Badge is unhappy about the efficiency of our grain transport. I’m afraid if this drags on, it would affect our cooperation.”

“Do not worry, they can hold on.” Ouyang Shuo was really calm.

“Understood!”

Seeing that, Du Ruhui did not say anything more.

After reporting and receiving exact instructions, Du Ruhui bid the emperor farewell. As the military affairs minister, he was really busy. He walked for a while and behind him spread the crisp laughter of the princess.

This laughter was contagious while giving one strength.

Du Ruhui could not help but smile. In his eyes, this was a sign of the prosperity of the Empire. His footsteps became firmer and more determined.

…

5th month, 6th day, after receiving the order, Han Xin ordered the Tiger legion corps to teleport to Ecuador.

The next day, Xue Rengui led the North America legion corps to teleport from Nanjiang to Ecuador. At this point, the America warzone had three legion corps gathered up in Ecuador Prefecture.

The Ecuador Prefecture was not big. Now, it suddenly had 750 thousand elite troops, appearing really eye-catching. This meant that the flames of war in South America were going to shine even brighter.

Zhidian City was where the America warzone temporary command headquarters was located.

Commander-in-chief Han Xin called for a meeting for the first time, and the Legion Generals and above of the three legion corps were all present.

“We coming over here, needless to say, the goal is to help the Empire expand in America. The first target is the Columbia region to kick the Dawson Dynasty out of South America.”

Right at the start, Han Xin was resounding and firm.

When the generals heard that, their eyes shone, and they were pumped up, showing excited expressions.

“But.”

Han Xin purposely paused before looking around; his eyes were fierce and firm. Even Xue Rengui could not help but put away his excited expression and show an attentive look.

“Now is not the time to strike. You must control your men. Without orders, do not walk out of camp. Be more well behaved, understood?” Han Xin hollered.

“Understood!”

The generals all responded instinctively before asking carefully, “Commander, Columbia only has 200 thousand troops and are not our opponent, why aren’t we attacking?”

Han Xin had a good temper and explained, “If it were just that, it would not be a problem. If commanded well, just one legion corps is enough.”

This was Han Xin’s confidence.

“However, are all of you satisfied with one small Columbia region?” Han Xin asked.

Listening to those words, the eyes of the previously confused generals shone brightly once more; the blood in their veins could not help but boil.

“The commander is saying?” one general asked.

Han Xin sat up; his expression was solemn like he had the weight of the Empire on his shoulders as he said, “We will take down the Brasilia Dynasty and share South America with the Indian Empire; that is what we should do.”

“Yes, commander!”

The generals did not hesitate anymore, bowing and expressing their recognition and loyalty to the commander.

Han Xin nodded. After the generals returned to their seats, he said, “The Brasilia Dynasty sent 400 thousand troops to attack the Indian Empire. If we interfere now, they might retreat to defend. Only when the two sides enter a standstill and neither can easily breakaway will we strike.”

“As such, what we must do now is to stay in the camp, adapt to the South America climate, and familiarize ourselves with the geography to prepare for the upcoming battle. Understood?”

“Yes!”

The generals bowed once more.

There were some words that Han Xin could not be too thorough about. His majesty gave him the power to decide how to fight in South America, so he must take up the responsibility; he could not let his majesty down.

As a God General, what he looked at was not the battlefield itself but also the post-war matters.

Once Great Xia took down Columbia and Brasilia, the entire South America would be left with just the Indian Empire and them.

When that happens, would the Indian Empire submit to Great Xia?

Probably not.

A man’s ambition knew no bounds.

Without an external threat, the Indian Empire naturally would not be grateful to Great Xia for helping them deal with their enemy and return them to a peaceful era.

On the contrary, Indian Empire king Juarez would more likely feel resentment toward Great Xia for stealing their land and occupying a part of South America that should belong to him.

After all, two years ago, Juarez had seen South America as his backyard.

The relationship between the two dynasties would definitely be really awkward then.

Under such circumstances, making use of the Brasilia army and the Dawson army to reduce the strength of the Indian Empire was a great move.

Many times, revenge had to be backed by strength.
