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…

"Now, let's test the power of this mortar." With no issues with the mortar shells, Xiao Ming's heart immediately yearned for more. With the Empire's increasing level of industrialization, the weapons being developed in the military factories were getting closer and closer to those of World War I. Of course, in terms of technology, these weapons were also becoming more and more complex. Moreover, the plan he gave to the Cabinet last time was not only about industrial and commercial construction, but…-

When Xiao Ming received the battle report from Manila, ten days had already passed since the battle took place. After carefully studying the details of the battle report, he frowned deeply. First, in this landing operation, the Dutch had dug very deep trenches, so deep that the Dutch had to stand on stools to stick their heads out of the trenches. These trenches reminded him of the trenches from World War I in modern times. At that time, both sides in World War I used these trenches to confront each…

The head of the Tita family sat in his chair with a slightly gloomy expression, his legs crossed, his gaze constantly shifting between Bandy and Figal. Just last night, they had been reminiscing together. Well, they were men, and they had all known each other before. Their relationships were decent. Being known to the outside world as the "Five Families," it was natural that they would be somewhat familiar with each other. After a few drinks, under the influence of alcohol, he might have said some…
