Counterfeit Hero Chapter 235: After modification: Volume 4 - 23 Betrayal (3)2

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

Hamilton smiled and nodded, "Speaking of which, I have to admire Mr. Jas’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 so unusual military movents recently. The Military Intelligence Bureau has reason to believe that at the appropriate ti, 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 sothing big. In the space age, the touching form between countries with three-dinsional 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 sa country. The Desic Empire, as a dium-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 mont, any movent from the Desic Empire, as a mber 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 chanized battle, attacking and defending, all in direct confrontation.

If Liebgoet cos 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 flas of war.

If the Desic Empire brazenly intervenes with military force.

If the dostic political situation becos turbulent, and the ruling party loses in the parliantary elections.

Then, not to ntion Russell, even a god could not achieve the final victory.

At that point, forget about attacking Gazalin’s holand, even the condition of reclaiming the Galileo Star System in the peace plan put forward by the Western Alliance nations to the Human Supre Council would no longer be t. Coupled with the losses on the front lines and the wavering public sentint, if Federation President Hamilton were not anxious, that would be strange!

Russell’s long fingers traced the edge of the buttons on the cuff of his General’s Uniform, his brows tightly furrowed.

As an excellent military strategist, Russell knew himself that when it ca to political maneuvering, he was not as good as even his student, that Fatty who was sitting in prison competing with others in urinating contests. In past teachings, Russell had often been shocked by Fatty’s insightful political comnts. It was not just that Fatty was particularly adept at these political intrigues, but it also indicated that playing politics was truly Russell’s weak point.

Russell knew Jas well enough, and how could Jas not understand him? This emperor, who relied on political maneuvering, intrigues between betrayal and trust, had been doing the sa thing all his life! That is, playing with politics!

The gap between him and Jas in this regard was too obvious. Originally, the shrewd politicians of the Leray Federation were adept at dealing with Jas. However, this country was too democratic! Anyone could jump out and point fingers, the opposition could freely hold assemblies to criticize the current policies. No matter how untily, parliantary elections had to be held as scheduled. This system not only cultivated a bunch of cunning politicians but also tied their hands.

The most frustrating thing was, the Fei Alliance did not have a unified and clear attitude!

With the world situation at this stage, these democratic countries were still harboring illusions, continuously calling for peace, urging restraint dostically, and even so opposition party democrats visiting hostile forces, hoping to resolve a world war with their eloquence. Imperial countries quickly and even completed the transition to a warti economy in a very short ti. Every day, they were getting more prepared for war, while many democratic federation countries could not even pass a proposal for military expansion!

As for the so-called peace plan proposed by the Western Alliance nations in the Human Supre Council, many Fei Alliance mber countries were complacently silent or even foolishly cheering for peace! If not for the Feiyang Republic’s scorn for the plan, the Human Parliant might have directly issued a united resolution!

The one who has manipulated things to this extent is that madman sitting in the Tanville Palace, Jas! And I can be completely sure that this dictator, who loves to sche in his dark study, absolutely has more political maneuvers than what we see on the surface! Give him proper stimulus, and he will take actions that will drive everyone crazy!
