In the room, everyone seemed a little excited. A smart and wise leader could bring a gang not only a higher reputation but also make the gang members safer. Under this surprise attack, the Keane family had almost no power to fight back. The morning's assassination of several cadres who could get clear information had only made them shrink the power of their cadres. They probably hadn't even discussed clearly how to deal with this sudden attack, and then their bars were also attacked when they…-

The cadre sitting in the car had a very grim expression on his face. But there was nothing he could do. He was one of Figal's trusted men. From his perspective, this mission was a fucking suicide run, but the mission had been assigned to him, and he had to come. When he was leaving the office, Figal had told him that their job was to come over, fire a few shots, have a simple exchange of fire, and then leave immediately. They were not to linger, and certainly not to foolishly get out of the car…

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Wang Xuan was also scratching his head over this problem and couldn't help but ask for Xiao Ming's thoughts. "As expected, it's easy to conquer an empire, but difficult to rule it." Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly. He once thought that defeating a country would solve all problems and he could then exploit that country to his heart's content. But now, the facts told him that everyone in this world had their own ideas, and this was something he could not…-

Xiao Quan laughed upon hearing Hu Hao’s words. The order was to hold for two months, but what happened after that? Were they simply allowed to retreat? "The High Command is still only thinking about holding the line! Do they intend to just abandon the territory we lost? Those civilians are being slaughtered by the Allied forces , yet do those people in High Command not know? Or are they just pretending not to? Goddammit, hold for two months!" Hu Hao cursed. "Forget it, Hao-ge. When you mentioned…-

Hu Hao sat there in silence, feeling a deep sense of disillusionment. He had never imagined that the Grand Marshal, a high-ranking general of the Empire, would sacrifice this defensive line for his own personal gain. To ignore the fate of over a hundred million civilians behind them—how was he any different from the historical traitor Wu Sangui? "Hu Hao, Hu Hao, what’s wrong?" Sun Qinxue asked, confused by Hu Hao’s sudden change in mood. "I’m fine. It’s just... I find it terrifying. If…

After Hu Hao returned to the command post, he stripped off his shirt. It was stiflingly hot outside. As mid-August approached, the temperature soared, a heatwave that would persist until the arrival of the rainy season. With the rains not due until mid-September, the Empire was entering its most sweltering month. Usually, most citizens would stay indoors to avoid the heat, but with a war raging, Hu Hao’s men had to remain in the trenches. Meanwhile, in a bomb shelter in Daman City on the opposite…

Hu Hao warned Jiang Kai, making him realize that the Emperor’s true intentions were still unclear. He cautioned him not to let the news of his potential promotion to Grand Marshal go to his head, and Jiang Kai sat there in deep thought. After a moment, Jiang Kai finally spoke: "I never really wanted to be Grand Marshal anyway. It’s not an easy job to hold, especially for someone like me. I’ve never managed the Air Force or the Navy, so it’s impossible for me to take that role. However, the…

Jiang Kai, He Jingzhong, and Tang Junjie were still arguing in the command post. Sun Qinxue couldn't do much besides trying to mediate; after all, he didn't have the status to criticize those two directly. After a long time, it grew late, and Tang Junjie and the others left the command post in a huff. He Jingzhong even threatened to report Jiang Kai to His Majesty, but Jiang Kai didn't care. Once they were gone, Jiang Kai immediately had someone fetch Hu Hao. When Hu Hao walked into the command post,…

Figal's eyes were bloodshot. Lance's slap had shattered his dignity on the ground. In fact, he himself knew that now was not a good time to make a move. Perhaps Lance's men had already prepared for their attack, and were just waiting for them to walk into the trap, and then turn his men into sieves. But he couldn't not say it, he couldn't not take a stand. Several cadres had died in the early morning. If he had no attitude at all, what would the other cadres think? The Keane family was…

In a club in the city center, a man in a white suit and a floral shirt was leaning back on a large red sofa. Tufts of chest hair stuck out from his open collar, looking somewhat disgusting, like an uncivilized barbarian. On the low coffee table in front of him were some empty wine bottles, as well as cigarettes, cigars, and even some dried Maple Iris Grass. Beside him sat a few other people, their faces still showing an unhealthy flush left over from their excitement. He smacked his lips. "You…
