In the red-lacquered wooden chair of the official residence, Xiao Ming looked directly into Dick's eyes. "You are a clever man, but not clever enough. I will not be so foolish as to send troops to mainland Europe now, and your foolishness lies in thinking that the Great Yu Empire can be easily eliminated like a native tribe." Dick was silent. He had to admit that this failure stemmed from the arrogance brought by their centuries of overseas colonization. Otherwise, they would not have taken this…-

It was deep winter, and the wind blowing from the sea was bone-chilling. But in Dick's eyes, this cold was far less chilling than the coldness in the eyes of the Emperor before him. Previously, the Great Yu Empire was merely a strange name to him. Like all lands outside Europe, he believed that only a group of uncivilized natives lived here, until Britain suffered unprecedented defeat in Asia. Only then did the name of this country frequently appear in Parliament. And after two scholars from the…

While Morin was recovering in the Field Hospital, the sound of gunfire in Amiens City gradually thinned out. The main force of the Britannian Expeditionary Force had broken out to the south, but they retreated in such haste that they could not take everyone with them. When General Mackensen, leading the First Army Group main force, pressed in from the west and completely sealed the final gap, approximately three thousand Britannian soldiers were firmly trapped in the city, which now offered them nothing…-

"What is that damn thing?" Wilson was drenched in cold sweat. When the Great Yu Empire steam warships' firepower weakened, he realized that the Great Yu Empire warships might have run out of ammunition. After all, in the fierce naval battle just now, the Great Yu Empire warships had won with fewer numbers, which also meant they fired more shells. Seeing this trend, a glimmer of hope for victory immediately rose in his heart, but now this hope was crushed by this sudden warship. He could see…

The specialist was discussing some issues regarding the lawsuit with their public relations team. It was obvious that the Golden Port city court was on the side of the locals.

Everyone will encounter problems they are not sure how to handle. From the homeless on the street to the president sitting in the Presidential Palace, they all need someone to provide some constructive suggestions before they make a choice on some difficult issues. Of course, this kind of questioning will only be posed to those who are relatively trusted. Lance lit another cigarette. "I'll do my best." "Emily is pregnant." It could be seen that William's expression was a bit awkward when he…

At the edge of South Amiens, a relatively intact municipal building was temporarily requisitioned as the joint command post. Mackensen, Ludendorff, and the Generals of various Corps and the Assault Battle Group gathered together. On the huge map temporarily hung on the wall, the blue arrows representing the Saxon Army had completely clamped down on the red markers representing the Britannian forces. “Generals, the Battle of Amiens appears largely decided!” a staff officer reported with high spirits:…

"Mr. Lance, I know this is asking too much, but we're really out of options." An old man, who looked to be in his fifties, stood before Lance. His back, bent by life and this recent blow, made him look not so well. He was very thin and wore a gray cap. "I no longer have the ability to work. I've been looking for a job recently, but... no one is willing to hire me." "All my life savings were in the bank. I could have lived on those savings, but now..." His voice choked as he spoke, "I've lost…

In the bright room, Councilman Williams and James sat on opposite sides of the table. Sunlight streamed through the glass, warming the room. The room was quiet. Both men were contemplating their own thoughts, with little communication between them. After about two or three minutes, James asked with a hint of inquiry, "How do you think this will end?" Councilman Williams smiled. "If a giant only arm-wrestles with others within the rules, then that giant won't live to become a giant; it will be…
