Mr. Charles's lawyer arrived very quickly, whether for the sake of money or for other reasons. Many lawyers took pride in working for the rich. Some lawyers, in their rising phase, would even work for the rich without charging a lawyer's fee. Being a lawyer is a very sensitive job, especially for cases that may involve imprisonment. The most common phrase that lawyers say is "professional ethics." If they want to win, and the rich people who hire them want to win, they must tell the lawyer as much…-

"The Ottoman Empire and Persia have had a thousand-year-long grudge. They are mortal enemies, and both countries have the ambition to dominate Central Asia." "That is true. However, their conflicts in the past were only on a small scale. But this time, the problem seems a little serious. It is said that the Ottoman Empire has received many advanced firearms from Europe and is training a massive army. The scale of the conflict is also expanding." Pang Yukun explained. "Then what do you think we…-

The black car sped smoothly through the empty streets of Dresden, like a silent fish darting through the sea. The mottled light and shadows from the streetlamps outside rhythmically swept across Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz’s wrinkled face, flickering on and off, mirroring his current dark and uncertain mood. Tirpitz leaned back against the soft seat, his eyes—usually as sharp as a falcon's—half-closed, his fingers unconsciously tapping on his knee. The clamor of the dinner party had…-

When Tang Long heard the Emperor order the summoning of the senior High Command ministers—which meant the Generals of the Left, Middle, and Right, as well as the Vanguard General—he was inwardly thrilled. This indicated that His Majesty was finally preparing to open the promotion channels, meaning their military clans would no longer have to sacrifice so many of their own sons. "Take a seat, Tang Long. Tell me, can our Empire withstand the invasion of these nations? How long can we hold out? Will…-

After giving the regimental commanders in Yonghe City their instructions, Hu Hao let them get back to deploying their defenses. He didn't criticize them for their initial mistakes. He knew exactly what they were currently capable of. These men had been company or battalion commanders just days ago. They hadn't been promoted to regimental commanders because their skills had reached that level, but simply because Hu Hao had no other qualified officers available! Therefore, Hu Hao was actively using…

When Li Nan turned to Bai Ye for advice, Bai Ye chuckled and replied, "I have no opinion. I've watched you all discuss defensive deployments all day, but not once have I heard anyone analyze the Allied forces. "What will their next move be? When will they attack? You all know Hao-ge. When he fights, he calculates the enemy's moves before making his own arrangements. "But look at you. You sit here discussing how to defend every single square inch of the city. With that mindset, your troops will never…

The negotiation was very smooth. Of course, this refers to the negotiation between Lance and the people that Owen had brought. They did not object to taking out a portion of their shares to establish a fund that had nothing to do with them. The profits from this foundation would be used for the Lance and Williams families. Currently, only Lance and Mayor Williams had signing authority, and the amount they could call upon was fifty-fifty. After the negotiations were over, Lance had someone see off…

At a little after nine in the evening, the phone in Lance's room suddenly rang. "This is Lance White." As soon as he finished speaking, Tom's voice came from the receiver. "The Senator would like to speak with you!" Then he could hear some sounds of a receiver being picked up and put down, as well as footsteps and the sound of a whole person sitting down in a sofa, and the sounds of clothes rubbing against the sofa. After about ten seconds, Senator Cleveland's voice came from the…

"Is it possible for us to buy the steel warships?" "His Majesty has agreed to open up some of the patents, but steel warships represent the current Empire's highest level of technology, so that is probably not possible." After explaining the terms of the agreement one by one, Victoria's sudden question caught Hu Chuan a little off guard. "That is truly regrettable. You should know that if we can obtain steel warships, we, Britain, will pay any price." Victoria deliberately showed a look of…

The black staff car drove steadily through the evening streets of Dresden. The dim light of the streetlamps flashed past the windows, illuminating the thoughtful faces of the two Imperial Army giants in the backseat. Moltke the Younger was not in a hurry to break the silence. He was still savoring the look in that young Lieutenant Colonel's eyes at the final moment. It was a look he was very familiar with, one that could only be seen in the eyes of the purest professional soldiers—devoid of a…
