Counterfeit Hero

This remark elicited a burst of laughter, everyone knew that Russell’s subtext was, without democratic constraints, James always made some foolish decisions.

Hamilton smiled and nodded, "Speaking of which, I have to admire Mr. James’s strong will. If I were the Gazalin Emperor, ha ha..." A trace of sarcasm appeared on his face: "Just as General Russell’s distinguished student said, I think I would have surrendered early."

After another round of laughter, Hamilton picked up his coffee, his expression turned serious, and solemnly said, "Two generals, I believe you have seen the latest intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau. It seems our neighbor is not resigned to his defeat..." He frowned, unsure if it was because the coffee was too bitter or because the matter was too thorny, "The Gazalin envoys not only frequently appear in the Binart Empire and the Naga Federation, but they have also intensified their diplomatic efforts with several of our neighbors. And our biggest neighbor, the Desic Empire, has made some unusual military movements recently. The Military Intelligence Bureau has reason to believe that at the appropriate time, the Desic Empire will intervene in this war. I would like to hear the opinions of the two generals on this matter."

This is the real topic of today. The Desic Empire’s military mobilization is almost ostentatious. Without the Military Intelligence Bureau’s information, nearly everyone knows that the Desic Empire is up to something big. In the space age, the touching form between countries with three-dimensional territories has completely overturned the adjacency form from the Earth era. Through one or more Public Star Systems, it is not uncommon for several countries to be adjacent to the same country. The Desic Empire, as a medium-large country with four Star Domains, is considered a Level 1 power in this peripheral area of human society. Its military strength is not only powerful, but its economic prowess is also not to be underestimated.

At this critical moment, any movement from the Desic Empire, as a member country of the Western Alliance, inevitably raises suspicion. For the Leray Federation, fighting a two-front war with both the Gazalin Empire and the Desic Empire would be suicide!

Bernadotte glanced at Russell. The current complex situation had already shown its signs. The battle in Lucerne was far from certain. The Federation only held a strategic advantage. Liebgoet had not made any significant moves yet, and the two sides were almost engaged in a mechanized battle, attacking and defending, all in direct confrontation.

If Liebgoet comes up with a clever strategy and changes the situation with one battle.

If that Gazalin Emperor plays his political tricks again, dragging the entire human society into the flames of war.

If the Desic Empire brazenly intervenes with military force.
