"Here's your money!" In the office, a man with slicked-back hair sat in a chair, holding a stack of cash. The man across from him had already stood up, his face wearing an obsequious expression, head bowed and back bent. The nameplate on the desk read "Pepe Finance Company." This was a loan shark company. Loan sharking was also illegal in the Federation, but many people, especially gangsters, were in the business. The profits from loan sharking were high, and the risks were low. Anyone with…-

Marcus, with a dry blade of grass in his mouth, followed the crowd towards the pasture south of Wales. The owner of this pasture was Governor Kenneth, that notorious black-hearted British merchant. He was unsure how Kenneth had become the Governor of Australia. However, in his opinion, this Kenneth must have already escaped here on his armed merchant ship, after all, this was not his first escape, and he was very skilled at such things. "Oh, what should we do now? Will these Great Yu people kill…-

The soldiers who stayed behind had no other choice. They couldn't desert because the moment they were discovered, their families would be ruined by property confiscation.

Hearing Jiang Kai shouting at him, Hu Hao didn't hesitate to shout right back. When was the last time someone had dared to scream at him like that? "Hu Hao, I need a solution! A solution! Because right now, I have absolutely nothing!" Jiang Kai roared through the phone. "There are no reinforcements coming. We have enemy blocking forces entrenched across the river in front of us, and an armored pursuit force closing in from behind. If we do not break out tonight, this army will be completely annihilated!…

When Li Tianyuan heard Jiang Kai threaten Hu Hao's family, he was shocked and immediately tried to speak up in Hu Hao's defense. "You don't need to say anything!" Jiang Kai cut him off. "Just tell Hu Hao this: I have over two hundred thousand troops trapped here. If Hu Hao leaves them to die, does he really think I, Jiang Kai, don't have the means to deal with him? And don't tell me that targeting his family is beneath me! I have over two hundred thousand men here! Two hundred thousand! Are two…

When Jiang Kai learned that the relief forces in Dingkang Province had been carpet-bombed and could no longer come to their rescue, his mind went completely blank. He had no idea what to do. He sat in his command vehicle, thinking desperately, when Hu Hao suddenly crossed his mind. He immediately ordered Chief of Staff Sun Qinxue to contact Li Tianyuan. The message was clear: if Jiang Kai was not speaking to Hu Hao on a direct line within twenty minutes, Li Tianyuan would be stripped of his…

When Hu Hao heard Li Jingsong confirm that the enemy truly had launched an airborne assault the night before—and that Jiang Kai had successfully ambushed and annihilated two Allied airborne divisions—he wasn't the least bit happy. Last night, when the enemy hadn't attacked, he had almost started to doubt his own judgment. He never expected that the only reason he didn't know about the ambush was that Li Jingsong hadn't bothered to contact Zone Command last night, only finding out about the massive…

Hu Hao and his squad drove their scavenged civilian vehicles northward at top speed. They didn't dare slow down; if the enemy launched a pursuit, they could easily be intercepted. Speed was their only armor. After driving for about an hour with no sign of enemy pursuit, Hu Hao finally let out a sigh of relief. Huan Xingtao and his men had actually managed to hotwire a civilian city bus. Hu Hao sat near the front, staring out the window at the passing landscape. In the distance, the lights of several…

When Jiang Kai heard the Grand Marshal declare that Generals from other regions would be drafted into his Combat Zone, he was furious. They were trying to reach their hands directly into his territory to seize command. "That is unnecessary! During this battle, many of my Brigadier Generals have earned significant merit. They are the ones who deserve to be promoted!" Jiang Kai stated firmly. "Mmh. Submit the list of proposed promotions, and we will consider them," the Grand Marshal replied…

While eating his lunch, Hu Hao heard Li Jingsong warning him not to speak carelessly. He sighed. He knew there were some things he shouldn't say out loud, but he just couldn't shake his old habits. In his past life, when he stood at the absolute pinnacle of power, if he saw something wrong, he called it out. But things were different now. Now, he was just a Major. In an empire with an army of over three million men, a Major was a nobody. Furthermore, the path to higher promotion was completely sealed…
