The war of Columbia that Great Xia started seemed like a simple situational war, but it affected the entire world.
When Jack realized this point, his head hurt.
“Let me think about it.”
Jack could decisively give up on the Brasilia Dynasty, but this did not mean that he could break his promise to the Spain Dynasty.
Not to mention that if they withdrew now, Argentina would be in danger, which would affect the European battlefield and consequently the entire global situation of Silver Hand.
Just breaking the promise to Spain would cause the Dawson Dynasty to be discriminated in Europe.
The price was too high!
“I think we have been swindled. We should not have fought one another so early on; this allowed Great Xia to pick up the spoils.” Jack was a little regretful.
“That is not something we could prevent.” Franklin was really calm.
Silver Hand and Azure Badge going against one another was a matter forced by interests and the situation. It was not something that a single person or dynasty could stop.
Since they worked together because of interests, they could definitely go against one another because of interests.
“Great Xia has been playing a huge chess game.” Jack was enlightened.
Since the world war had reached such a stage, a single person’s will could not stop it. All the dynasties were wrapped up within it and were unable to pull themselves out.
“No matter what, we still need to give it a shot.” Jack was prepared to take a final gamble and said, “Inform Spain that if they really cannot give up on Argentina, we will give them a batch of firearms for free as compensation.”
Compared to Great Xia, although the Dawson Dynasty did not have a population advantage, its industrialization standards were no weaker than Great Xia. It had the ability to craft many firearms to compete with Great Xia.
Jack was prepared to go all out in return for the Spain Dynasty’s forgiveness.
“If we do that, the issue should not become too big.”
When Franklin heard that, he did not try to persuade Jack and went to make arrangements instead.
That night, the Dawson Dynasty sent out 100 thousand troops to teleport to Panama to strengthen the defenses and delay the Great Xia Army before the reinforcements arrive.
Currently, the three armies of Great Xia had set off recently and had just crossed the border.
The war of Columbia had just begun.
…
5th month, 18th day, Brasilia Dynasty.
Although the Brasilia Dynasty was huge, large portions of it were unsuitable for humans inhabitation. The population was gathered in the south in the regions near the ocean.
The rainforest areas had a lot of moisture, but it was difficult for the soil to keep the moisture because the moisture in the rain would be swiftly sucked up by the plants.
As a result, the soil in the rainforest regions were really dry. Along with a lack of difference between wet and dry seasons, an area unsuitable for agriculture resulted.
Brasilia’s north region, including the famous Amazon Rainforest, had a low population density.
In the game world, the vast Amazon Rainforest became the Brasilia Dynasty’s north natural border. Till date, no army had dared to try to cross it.
Even the 200 thousand strong army from the Dawson Dynasty first took the naval route. After rushing to St Paulo, they gathered up with the Brasilia army to strike the Indian Empire.
Hence, when Han Xin arranged the troops, he threw the three legion corps separately onto the Columbia battlefield.
Going south from the Columbia region to directly attack the Brasilia Dynasty was just asking for trouble.
Brasilia city, palace.
Brasilia King Rio looked at the letter from the Dawson Dynasty and was so angry that his body shook as he said, “Shameless! To betray the alliance contract and actually raise such unreasonable requests.”
In the letter, Jack asked the Brasilia Dynasty to cover the Dawson Dynasty army as they exited the battlefield. At the same time, he asked them to send out no less than 300 thousand troops to assist the Columbia region.
Rio had also obtained news of Great Xia attacking Columbia region. If the Dawson Dynasty only withdrew from the Indian Empire, Rio could still understand. However, he did not expect Jack to actually be so shameless.
“Does he really think that we are puppets?” Rio was furious.
“Your majesty, you can be angry, but I think that the Dawson Dynasty’s words make sense. Once the Columbia region falls, we could be next.” the prime minister reminded him.
“What are you afraid of? To our north is a rainforest. Do you think that they can fly over? Rio was really confident and said, “Even if they take down Columbia and control the Panama Canal, the Pacific Squadron cannot cross the canal and arrive south of us. We might not have to fight them.”
Hearing that, the prime minster asked carefully, “Then your majesty, should we withdraw the troops?”
Rio shook his head and answered, “No! Without them, we can still fight this war. The Indian Empire’s east front is about to fall. This is a chance given to us by the heavens, and we cannot miss it.”
Rio understood that if he missed this chance, the Brasilia Dynasty would have no more opportunities to rise up.
Rather than sending troops to assist Columbia to aid others for nothing in return, why not send reinforcements to crush the Indian Empire east front?
Conquering the Indian Empire’s Cusco might even be possible.
So long as they won this war, the Brasilia Dynasty would be able to stand on the same level as the Indian Empire. Neither side would be able to swallow the other.
“Your majesty, are you not afraid of the Dawson Dynasty taking revenge on us?” The prime minster was a little worried.
When Rio heard that, he gave out a mocking smile and said, “Can’t you see? To defend the Columbia region, they have already fallen to the level where they need our help.”
“Facing the attack of Great Xia, they cannot even defend themselves, so how can they take revenge on us?”
The prime minister was still worried and added, “But there will be a time when the war ends. Once the Dawson Dynasty recovers, we would be alone without help.”
Rio smiled and said, “Who says we have no help? I’ve understood that in the whole world, be it Silver Hand or Azure Badge, neither is Great Xia’s opponent. That is a genuine backer.”
“Your majesty is saying?” The prime minister was astonished.
Rio got up and looked at the map of South America and solemnly said, “Great Xia interfering in South America caused a reshuffling of the entire situation. At such a time, we cannot be blinded.”
In the past, Great Xia had always given one an unbeatable impression on overseas battlefields. Great Xia suddenly throwing in 750 thousand troops into South America changed the landscape right away.
At this point, Rio saw through the matter cleanly.
When the prime minster heard that, he felt a chill in his heart, understanding what Rio was planning. At the end, he asked carefully, “Then how should we reply to the Dawson Dynasty?”
