Chapter 1877 - 1877
Unexpectedly, Johnsen had already made the call.
It seems that Landen and Johnsen had some prior discussions?
Johnsen extended his wishes for Liu Zhizhong's Eastern New Year and then went straight to the matter at hand.
This time, the views of the old and young politicians were united. Whether Evil Luo Shi is conducting exercises or using it as a guise for aggression, the two countries will staunchly stand by Klan Country.
After the pleasant call, Liu Zhizhong sent messages to the Wale Republic's Military Committee and the national strategic think tank, requiring an assessment of the war probability of Evil Luo Shi's joint military exercise and the formulation of an aid plan for Klan Country.
Klan Country's national situation is exceedingly complex; losing nuclear weapons has left their military power in concern.
In previous years, losing Kromia was not just due to various political factors but also because of Klan Country's insufficient military power.
Internationally, Kromia's status as Evil Luo Shi's territory has never been acknowledged; on maps, it is annotated in brackets as: Evil occupation!
Global civilization inherently has its limits. It's not something anyone can whimsically alter; otherwise, wouldn't the world be ruled by dictators?
The true purification of world civilization is indeed to eliminate dictatorship, isn't it?
Afterward, Liu Zhizhong purchased the New Year goods and headed back to the President's Mansion.
Returning to the President's Mansion, he could only hand the lanterns and other festive items to the presidential logistics team for decoration.
Indeed, in the President's Mansion, they were still cooking preserved meat, preserved pig heads and feet; the New Year's atmosphere remained considerably rich. Liu Zhizhong had even written the New Year couplets, waiting to post them up after lunch on New Year's Eve — everything according to the old customs, haha...
Meanwhile, during such days, Wale Republic's climate is extraordinarily pleasant.
Many people from the northern parts of the world flew to Wale, enjoying the sunshine and air, the water and food, while also soaking in the cultural charm of spring here.
Wale Republic's Spring Festival travel season is also one of the explosive points in economic growth.
Just as Zhao Yan, who might come to see her husband or perhaps to vacation and enjoy life — it's truly wonderful...
However, Liu Zhizhong had little time to enjoy the Spring Festival holiday.
Over the past few days, he has been immersed in the National Military Committee, closely working with the national military strategic think tank.
Together, they analyzed data, studied Evil Luo Shi's history of aggression, scrutinized their war tactics, and exchanged military intelligence with the United States, busy to no end.
That afternoon, during the U.S. morning, the U.S. government issued an announcement: advising American citizens in Kekistan to evacuate promptly, suspending all offline operations in Kekistan, suggesting conditions for online work, advising against unnecessary presence in the U.S.; recommending their return to the U.S. or relocating to safer European countries; the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Kekistan to maintain operational status while avoiding unnecessary offline work, emphasizing armed precautions, safeguarding personal safety and property; advising all American citizens globally to avoid going to Kekistan if possible; recommending those who must stay in Kekistan to prepare emergency medicine, food, and water sufficient for two months.
Lastly, the U.S. announcement stated: As American citizens, wherever you are on Earth, you are part of the United States, and the U.S. government and military have the right and obligation to protect your personal safety and property!
Following the U.S. announcement, England released similar news shortly thereafter.
Subsequently, many countries allied with the U.S. and England in morality and politics released related notices, seemingly gearing up for an evacuation plan.
Liu Zhizhong, along with Wale Republic, closely followed global information, promptly releasing related notices: firstly, Wale Republic's personnel in Kekistan should try to evacuate; secondly, citizens from home should avoid needless travel to Wale Republic.
In this way, the world was ablaze!
The shadow of war began to loom heavily over Kekistan's skies.
No one knows who might attack it; this much is clear.
Everybody is aware; the potential aggressors are logically evident.
Certainly, the pro-war and anti-war factions engaged in fierce debates across global media, very exciting.
Only in a world of open networks and information can one obtain these firsthand accounts.
Where network controls are strict, well, the relationship between the world and such places seems minor.
Meanwhile, in Kekistan, Luzelski also sensed the crisis; helplessly, the parliament of Kekistan still harbors many pro-evil elements, believing Evil Luo Shi wouldn't use exercises as a means of invasion.
After all, this exercise involves Evil Luo Shi and neighboring countries. Historically, invasions during exercises have occurred in isolated exercises.
Hence, Kekistan's defenses remain quite lax, especially given that in the next ten days, it's the Orthodox Church's major holiday. From a religious perspective, the holiday opposes war and purely seeks peace. Kekistan intends to celebrate, as do the people of Evil Luo Shi.
Launching a war during a holiday makes acceptance difficult to fathom.
Regarding global predictions, Evil Luo Shi's spokesperson Zarohova outright declared at a press conference that the world has consistently misunderstood and misjudged Evil Luo Shi; this arises from cultural differences and prejudice. Evil Luo Shi's joint military drill with neighboring four countries is purely defensive modern warfare, lacking offensive intent and will not invade any country — reassuring the world to cease viewing them with tinted glasses.
The world's mainstream media interpreted her remarks as: concealing intent, stubbornly denying accusations.
Anyhow, the citizens of major global powers had evacuated from Kekistan over the next ten days, to the extent that flight tickets were almost impossible to obtain.
Indeed, the people of the world remain observant...
As major nations gather increasingly comprehensive military intelligence, over time, signs of war become increasingly apparent.
Alarmingly, U.S.-shared intelligence with Wale Republic shows large transports by Evil Luo Shi parking late at night at an Eastern Pot civilian airport, hauling numerous blood bags and blood products, together with other wartime medical supplies.
Furthermore, Eastern Pot's large transport aircraft carried sizeable urgent supplies to Evil Luo Shi, parked near a major border city between Evil Luo Shi and Kekistan, less than fifty kilometers from the exercise's location.
During a routine press conference, foreign reporters presented Eastern Pot's spokesperson with related queries, asking to verify the reasons — whether they support warfare?
