Xiao Ming was signing the order to attack the British and French colonies. Imperial decrees were not to be used casually unless it was a major matter. For some trivial orders, he was still accustomed to signing documents. He glanced at Cui Shang'an and said, "How does it feel to be the Chief of General Staff?" "Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, everything is bestowed by Your Majesty. I am naturally grateful," Cui Shang'an organized his words. Xiao Ming smiled, "We are family. Speaking of which,…

Carrying a briefcase, Roger was led up the steps by a staff member. The men who seemed to be both greeters and security guards only escorted him to the end of the red carpet.

September 7th, early morning. When the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness and spilled over the temporary camps of the Saxon army outside Paris, the war machine, which had been silent for the night, began to turn once more. The soldiers of the Instruction Assault Battalion crawled out of their tents, quickly organizing their gear and collecting their final ammunition and rations. The shouts of officers, the roar of engines, and the clinking of metal as soldiers checked their weapons quickly…-

The sunlight in the Zhengda Guangming Hall was somehow obscured by a dark cloud in the sky, making the hall appear slightly dim. Brooke's face looked indistinct in this light, but everyone could feel his tension. In fact, Brooke's heart was now trembling with nervousness. The conditions proposed by this emperor had almost entirely exceeded the bottom line he had set before coming here. Queen Victoria and the Parliament had failed to grasp one crucial point: this negotiation was not with just any…

"Nonsense! Do you think I am as foolish as you? I have a record of the insidious dealings you British and French have committed over the years!" Slamming the table in front of him, Xiao Ming suddenly flew into a rage. Brooke's lie was easily exposed to him. Spain did not have such great power in Europe. Brooke and Henry trembled with fear. Clearly, this emperor was extremely intelligent and not easily fooled. The atmosphere in the main hall grew tense. Brooke's eyes darted back and forth,…

Devon wasn't wearing his "uniform" today. The red armband on the left sleeve was too conspicuous. He wore a blue woolen jacket and a beige and dark brown plaid flat cap, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He walked at a brisk pace, no different from an ordinary pedestrian. He was accompanied by a few others, all dressed similarly and looking ordinary. People dressed this way were a common sight here. The two men standing guard at the bar entrance merely glanced at them before looking…
