"What on earth are these things?" In the morning, Hanks bought a copy of The Times as usual. The first thing he saw when he opened the newspaper was "Brooke's Diary," which took up the entire page and detailed Brooke's observations during his trip to the Eastern Empire. "It's incredible, isn't it?" As Hanks was reading the newspaper intently, someone patted him on the shoulder. "Jesse, did you read the newspaper too?" Hanks asked. He and Jesse were both merchants who had been trading in Asia…-

Jasman was incredibly frustrated, unable to find a way to break the current stalemate. It wasn't that his troops couldn't win; it was that they couldn't afford the catastrophic casualties an assault would require. They were the Mara Empire's 1st Corps, a heavy mechanized unit. They held virtually no advantage in urban combat. Yet, if they didn't capture Yonghe City, they couldn't advance any further. Furthermore, the Eastern Spirit forces inside the city were bombarding them relentlessly, and they…-

Dong Qipeng stared at the pulverized remains of the stone stool Hu Hao had smashed. He bent down, picked up a larger fragment, and squeezed it with all his might. It was solid rock; it didn't yield a millimeter! After a moment's thought, he walked over to Hu Hao. "This is real, right? I'm not dreaming?" Dong Qipeng asked, standing right in front of him. "What kind of dream would you be having in broad daylight? Remember what I told you. Do not let this secret out!" Hu Hao warned him. "Mm. But Rat,…

"A very sumptuous dinner!" said Mrs. Charles, who was sitting in the car, touching up her makeup in the mirror. Today was the second day of the New Year. The lively upper-class social life had already begun. Because Mr. Charles was not here, Mrs. Charles needed to carry out more "madam diplomacy" to maintain their family's popularity in the upper class. In fact, being a person of power and influence also has many troubles, for example: If you or your family do not appear in front of people during…-

While checking the list of visitors this time, the Speaker of the House saw a name he had heard of but was not very familiar with: Lance White. "Does this matter have something to do with this person?" he put down the list in his hand and looked at his secretary. The secretary glanced at the name on the list, which seemed a little out of place. While continuing to do the work in his hand, he said, "The underworld of Golden Port City has now been unified, and this person, Lance White, has become the…

The air in the private room seemed to freeze for a few seconds because of Morin's words. Grand Admiral Tirpitz's eyes, hidden beneath his thick eyebrows, remained locked onto Morin, as if trying to find even the slightest hint of flippancy or offense toward the naval profession on the face of this young Army Lieutenant Colonel. Everyone present knew very well that although the Navy and the Army both belonged to the Empire's armed forces, they had always been two parallel lines in terms of strategic…-

Hu Hao spent the morning in the command center writing his training manuals. Once he finished a section, he distributed it to the officers for review. He then checked the large screens. The Mara Empire's 1st Corps still hadn't counter-attacked; they were completely focused on digging trenches. Seeing this, Hu Hao gathered about a dozen guards, hopped into a civilian car, and headed toward Santong County to inspect the Special Operations Regiment's training. Every soldier stationed in Santong…

Hu Hao wanted to re-establish the schools so the children could continue their education, but both Xiao Quan and Li Jingsong immediately opposed the idea. Xiao Quan was worried about the lack of funds, while Li Jingsong was terrified of crossing the Emperor's bottom line! "Are you kidding me, Li Jingsong? You're afraid of His Majesty? Let me tell you, I'm certainly not afraid!" Xiao Quan retorted, glaring at Li Jingsong. "It's not about being afraid or not! If we die, so what? But think about it,…

Hu Hao instructed the officers in the command center, as well as Wu Xunqi on the comms, to ponder why the Allied forces hadn't appeared in the east or south, and why they hadn't launched an attack that morning. The officers immediately fell silent, deep in thought. "Actually, hold off on that thought," Hu Hao suddenly said to Wu Xunqi. "I just saw the video feed; you're bombarding the northern sector. Last night, I gave you a task: locate the Allied command center. Have you found it yet?" "Ah...…

When Brooke stepped onto British soil, his heart was filled with a mix of emotions. Compared to the prosperity of Qingzhou, London, in his eyes, looked like a countryside of the Eastern Empire, a world that had not truly entered civilization. This was the first time he had a feeling of doubt about the British system. How could an empire that was insignificant in their eyes surpass them in just a few years? After a moment of thought, Brooke composed himself. Beside him was Hu Chuan, an ambassador…
