Chapter 561: 365, Star Formation Analysis, Star Scanning_3

Liu Ju blinked and hesitantly replied, "Isn’t it because there was a rebellion in the Daman Kingdom?"

Zhao Xiaoying laughed, "The Daman Kingdom isn’t the only country that experienced a rebellion, so why is Great Xia only intervening in the affairs of the Daman Kingdom?"

Liu Ju was momentarily at a loss for words.

Zhao Xiaoying didn’t answer the question but began a grand narrative, "To the south of Great Xia, Great Xia has already controlled Shapudian, and its influence deeply radiates throughout the southern East Continent.

"To the north of Great Xia, I’ve heard some whispers. Quite a few people are starting to move north, and it won’t be long before action is taken in the north.

"To the west of Great Xia, beneath our feet on the Oil Peninsula, Great Xia’s army has entered a military base in the Luotuo Kingdom, and now it has entered the Daman Kingdom.

"The Daman Kingdom has oil underground, a longer coastline, and is closer to major sea routes, making it more favorable for Great Xia to control maritime trade passages."

Liu Ju finally understood, "You’re saying that our Great Xia is expanding in all directions?"

Zhao Xiaoying nodded, "Of course!"

Liu Ju thought of a question, "You just mentioned the south, north, and west. What about the east?"

Zhao Xiaoying replied, "There are currently no movements in the east, but I’m sure that the higher-ups have long since prepared.

"As long as something happens in the east that can be exploited, Great Xia’s forces will be the first to enter."

The eastern side of Great Xia consists of only three countries.

Namely, the Ying Sang Kingdom across the sea, and the Dongli Kingdom and Beiji Kingdom on the Silla Peninsula.

Liu Ju nodded repeatedly, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Zhao Xiaoying continued to address the situation, "Before the Age of Calamity, the proven oil reserves on the entire Oil Peninsula were 950 billion barrels.

"Now with the emergence of Supernatural Powers and new exploration methods, a few days ago, the Superpower Research Institute explored an almost depleted oil field in the Luotuo Kingdom and discovered more than 4 billion barrels of oil.

"Even with the most conservative estimation methods, the oil resources contained on the Oil Peninsula should be no less than 2 trillion barrels, and perhaps as much as 3 trillion barrels is not impossible."

Long legged Sister took a breath, "Oil is the lifeblood of industry. If Great Xia wants to control Canglan Star, it must firmly control the Oil Peninsula."

Liu Ju thought aloud, "So the Carmenia Federation will absolutely not stand by and watch Great Xia control the Oil Peninsula, no wonder they’ve secretly subverted the Daman Kingdom and instigated the rebels to attack the Luotuo Kingdom."

Zhao Xiaoying nodded, "If Great Xia controls the Oil Peninsula, it can also significantly squeeze the living space of the Carmenian people, so this is a conflict destined to happen."

Liu Ju showed an expression of admiration, "Xiaoying, you know so much."

She laughed mischievously, "Maybe one day you’ll become a leader of Great Xia, and I’ll have to hold tightly onto your long legs."

Zhao Xiaoying scoffed, "How could that be?"

Liu Ju didn’t quite agree, "Two years ago, I was assembling screws in an electronics factory. I never thought that two years later, I’d become an honored guest of the Luotuo people and even helped them fight wars, so nothing in this world is impossible."

Zhao Xiaoying didn’t want to continue the conversation, "Alright, let’s return to the camp."

She turned around and walked down towards the snow hill.

At that moment. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

A voice suddenly came through the communicator, "Everyone assemble, the operation is about to begin!"

The two glanced at each other, and simultaneously linked their consciousness to the metal nerves, activating the thrusters on their backs.

"Whoosh～"

The roaring sound arose.

Two exoskeletons took off into the air, swiftly heading in the direction of the military camp.

Several dozen kilometers away.

Inside Harisu City.

Mount of Gods Second Class Chief Priest, McCarthy, was feeling a bit of a headache.

Just now.

The Azure Palace suddenly sent a message, informing that the Great Xia people already knew the Federation had secretly dispatched over 500 modified weapons to the Daman Kingdom and demanded their immediate withdrawal from the Daman Kingdom.

In fact, McCarthy didn’t want to heed the Azure Palace at all.

The Mount of Gods is different from the Federation Military.

The Federation Army draws salaries from the Azure Palace, logistics and supplies also need to be funded by the Azure Palace, and the highest military commander is concurrently held by the Grand Commander, so the military must follow the orders of the Azure Palace.

But the Mount of Gods is an independent entity with its own independent system.

Among the three-tier ranks of the Mount of Gods, namely "Priest," "Chief Priest," and "Grand Chief Priest," he belonged to the middle tier as a Second Class Chief Priest, with a direct superior of the Grand Chief Priest, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Azure Palace at all.

McCarthy was well aware that the Azure Palace always wanted to obtain control over the Mount of Gods, at least some portion of the power, hence the continuous directive issuing.

Nevertheless, the Azure Palace is nominally the highest power center of the Federation, so a group of Grand Chief Priests is not yet willing to completely fall out with the Azure Palace, and generally they give the Azure Palace some face.

McCarthy thought for a moment and turned to a subordinate, "Jeffries, those decaying bureaucrats at the Azure Palace say that the Great Xia people have set a trap for us. What do you think?"

Jeffries shrugged, "Boss, the Great Xia people have always known of our existence. Although this is the land of the Daman Kingdom, this war is actually between us and the Great Xia people.

"We’ve fought the Great Xia people for so long, we know better than anyone how formidable they are, but those bureaucrats are sitting in their offices with the heating on full blast and fooling around with interns, yet they still want to teach us how to do our jobs. It’s just laughable!"

This sentiment resonated with McCarthy, and he couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "Yeah!"

After despising the bureaucrats, Jeffries addressed the practical issue, "Our modified weapons have been active in Harisu, and have even appeared in several nearby cities.
