Chapter 460 - I Would Rather Die Than Retreat

Chapter 460 I Would Rather Die Than Retreat

Compared with Eastern Europe, which had already been in a storm, Zhongzhou State, known as the strongest country in the world, was still calm.
However, under the pressure of almost all the powerful countries in the world, Hidden Dragon Sea, which was calm and peaceful, had long become oppressive and dull.
Every high-level official of Zhongzhou State was closely paying attention to the situation in Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe was in chaos.
If one wanted to gain something in the chaos, one needed to be full of courage to rush forward.


This was the truth.
But no one had expected that Li Tianlan would take action so fast that no one would have time to react.
The war of Wulan State was fierce.
The only thing that Zhongzhou State could do was keep silent.
Zhongzhou State told the public that it had lost contact with Li Tianlan.
In fact, from the war in Wulan State to now, Zhongzhou State had never contacted Li Tianlan.
Everyone was closely watching everything in Wulan State, and they all knew the importance of this battle.
Li Tianlan had led the Snowdance Corps to go on an expedition.
The result of this battle was related to the international image and prestige of Zhongzhou State, as well as the glory of the Li family in the past. Therefore, whether it was Zhongzhou State or Li Tianlan, they could only win and could not lose!
Dongcheng Wudi had had a talk with Li Huacheng in Hidden Dragon Sea last night. When the night of Recchi City gradually became darker and darker, the dawn had arrived in Youzhou.


The sky was slightly dark.
The air was slightly cold.
The two top giants of Zhongzhou State, who had the most say in the Eastern Europe riot, walked out of the president’s office and walked unhurriedly in Hidden Dragon Sea.
Dongcheng Wudi looked relaxed and peaceful. Even when the war had broken out in Recchi City and Zhongzhou State had been under the greatest pressure, he had not shown any worry or anxiety.
As for the President of Zhongzhou State, Li Huacheng, he had begun to talk about the future.

It’s necessary to strengthen our connection with the Qin Clan. We didn’t take down Wulan State in those years, so the attitude of the Qin Clan has been ambiguous for many years. It’s a good chance for Qin Xilai to take the initiative this time. The Arctic Ocean Command has been not easy in recent years. This time, we can take down Wulan State and revive all of Eastern Europe. If we can get the support of the Qin Clan at this time, it will be of great significance to us.

In the slightly dim morning light, Li Huacheng handed Dongcheng Wudi a cigarette with a smile while speaking in a casual tone.
Dongcheng Wudi lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. He nodded and said,
The situation in Eastern Europe is very chaotic. But in essence, it’s very simple. In the final analysis, it’s a game between the four families. Now Rekvia is close to Zhongzhou State. If we can persuade the Qin Clan, our position in Eastern Europe can be completely stable.


Tianlan did a good job this time. To be honest, I’m very surprised by his decisiveness and speed.

Li Huacheng smiled and said,
Well, in a few days, I plan to go to Wulan State in person and take a group there. I will inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Is Wudi interested in it?



Dongcheng Wudi hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said,
I’m not sure yet. There have been a lot of things going on in the Military Ministry recently.

Now he was the Minister of Army Headquarters. If Zhongzhou State was in a sensitive war period, the power of this position was even greater than that of the Prime Minister. Even in the flourishing time, Dongcheng Wudi in his current position could be regarded as the No. 3 figure in Zhongzhou State in terms of real power.
His position was there. But the Military Ministry was not the Border Control Corps after all, so it was hard for him not to keep his word. Li Tianlan was in Eastern Europe now, and he could be said to be Li Tianlan’s biggest supporter. At this time, he was in charge of the Army Headquarters, which was much safer than personally going to Eastern Europe.

How can you not be sure?

Li Huacheng laughed. He seemed to want to say something, but Dongcheng Wudi’s cell phone rang first.
Dongcheng Wudi glanced at the number and his face froze slightly. After he picked it up, he said in a deep voice,
Hello.

The person on the other end of the phone reported something in a very fast manner.
Dongcheng Wudi’s body became completely relaxed.
He put down the phone and said slowly,
Tianlan has arrived at the Office of the President.

In high spirits, Li Huacheng suddenly burst out laughing.


This news completely showed that the long and complicated night in Recchi City had come to an end.
Now, there was Li Tianlan and the Snowdance Corps in Recchi City.
There was even Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong.
The five East European countries, led by Wulan State, had been like a thorn stuck between Zhongzhou State and the Arctic Ocean Command. From tonight onward, they would only operate under the will of Zhongzhou State.
This was Li Tianlan’s contribution.
But was not it Li Huacheng’s contribution?

Then it’s better for us to go to Eastern Europe and see how elegant the Star Flag inserted into the soil of foreign countries is,
Li Huacheng said in high spirits.
His office had reached the later stage. Since he took office, Li Huacheng had been wise and calm in action. However, under the general trend of Zhongzhou State, he could not be regarded as a strong president. It was only in recent years that he had shown off a little. The chaotic situation in Eastern Europe was so perfect that Li Huacheng really wanted to show off the power of Zhongzhou State to the public.

Why don’t you let Tianlan come back?

Dongcheng Wudi’s face was extremely calm.


He had suddenly said it calmly.

Come back?

Li Huacheng was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dongcheng Wudi.

He’s done enough,
Dongcheng Wudi said.

But he only stayed in Eastern Europe for less than a day!

Li Huacheng thought that this request was ridiculous.

In addition to some follow-up work, it’s always okay for him to stay for a week. And time doesn’t mean anything. Tianlan’s deeds are here. Who dares deny his contribution?

The original intention of Zhongzhou State to have restarted the Snowdance Corps was essentially to fight for the interests of Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan’s series of actions could be said to be really vigorous and speedy. In one day, the five countries of Eastern Europe had changed day by day, and the Jiang family of South America had suffered heavy losses. Rekvia had sought refuge in Zhongzhou State and even established a good connection with the Qin Clan.
No matter what the process was, this result was extremely perfect.
It could even be said that this was the benefit that Zhongzhou State had wanted.
From today onward, the Arctic Ocean Command would become a force that no one in Europe could ignore. Zhongzhou State would become extremely detached in all of Eastern Europe.
That was enough.
It was really enough.
Countless superpowers had participated in Eastern Europe’s chaos. Every force had the ambition to completely devour Eastern Europe, but no one thought that they could really do it.
This was a game that involved the whole Dark World. There would be countless losers who would leave miserably halfway, but the final winner was not necessarily only one person.
Li Tianlan had achieved this step and obtained the power of Zhongzhou State over the five nations of Eastern Europe. Now, he was one of the winners.
Him doing this was enough.
Li Huacheng looked at Dongcheng Wudi and frowned without saying anything.
Dongcheng Wudi’s expression was still indifferent, but his voice suddenly became cold.
Mr. President, who do you think asked KingTong to go to Recchi City?


What do you mean?

Li Huacheng’s face became serious.

The reason why she went to Recchi City was naturally that she and the Shadow Throne request the interest of Wulan State. But it might not be without Wang Tianzong’s tacit consent. The event of the five countries in Eastern Europe was a great contribution, which was enough to help Tianlan get rid of the trap in Eastern Europe. After he took down the five countries in Eastern Europe, he was seriously injured and returned to Zhongzhou State to recuperate. Who could say anything bad about it?

KingTong went to Recchi City and wanted to rob the interests of the five countries of Eastern Europe with Tianlan. Although the Wang family of Beihai doesn’t want to give up the five countries of Eastern Europe, with Wang Tianzong’s courage, he won’t show such an ugly look. Wang Tianzong wants Recchi City not because of those interests. The most important thing is that he doesn’t want Tianlan to take this credit alone back to Zhongzhou State.

Dongcheng Wudi said in a cold voice,
He still has his plan. He wants Tianlan to die in Eastern Europe on the charges of treason. At that time, he will get the current Li family and the Giant Group, and even calm the chaos inside the Southeast Group. With all of that, do the five countries in Eastern Europe matter to him?

Li Huacheng thought for a long time and then said slowly,
So you want Tianlan to come back?


Yes.

Dongcheng Wudi nodded.
It’s the best time for him to come back now. The more Wang Tianzong doesn’t want Tianlan to do, the more we want Tianlan to do.


No way,
Li Huacheng said softly.
His voice was soft but firm.
He can’t come back.

Dongcheng Wudi looked at Li Huacheng and narrowed his eyes quietly.
Li Huacheng suddenly smiled and said,
Wudi, do you know why I support Tianlan?

Why did Li Huacheng support Li Tianlan?
This was equal to asking why the Academics supported Li Tianlan.
If one thought about it this way, there would be a lot of answers.
The reason why Li Huacheng was not aggressive was due to the lack of foundation of the Academics. So it could not compare with the Southeast Group and the Prince Group.
The Academics had no power in the most sensitive Special Warfare System.
By supporting Li Tianlan, the Academics wanted to fight for a future.
Its support for Li Tianlan was equivalent to drawing Sigh City over to its side.
If it supported Li Tianlan, it could get a lot of chips from the Samsara Palace.
If it supported Li Tianlan, now the Academics could get the support of the Giant Group.
These were the reasons.
But they were not all the reasons.

Because Tianlan is suitable.

Li Huacheng gave the answer calmly.
Daybreak’s light shone on his face, and there was a kind of extremely distant and deep halo in his eyes.
Looking at it selfishly, supporting Tianlan will bring me a lot of benefits. But I also have to bear a lot of risks and costs. The collapse of the Li family was full of inside stories. Now I support Tianlan. From one point of view, it is equal to supporting the civil strife of the Special Warfare System in Zhongzhou State in the future, even… the whole Zhongzhou State!

So many people don’t like Tianlan and the Li family. Even those who once respected the Li family may feel that the current situation of the Li family is unfair. But they will not welcome the Li family to return to the high-level platform of Zhongzhou State. Because the general trend does not allow it, nor do the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City. If they don’t allow it or the Li family does not listen, there will be wars, conflicts, and even chaos. What I said today may become the most unstable factor in Zhongzhou State in the future decades. It may also bring irreversible losses and harm to Zhongzhou State. Once these things happen, I will be in charge and you will also be in charge of the people.

Dongcheng Wudi listened quietly without saying a word.

But I still choose to support Tianlan and support the chaos he will bring to Zhongzhou State in the future. All this is because of his entrance maneuver at the Sky Academy,
Li Huacheng said calmly.
Dongcheng Wudi thought of the entrance maneuver.
Li Tianlan had killed two important persons of the Liu family of Huating in the maneuver.
Dongcheng Wudi thought to himself,
What kind of reason is this?


Kunlun City is very good. Judging from the current situation, it’s really good. Gu Xingyun may have been despicable when he took up the position. But no one can deny that he has not done anything bad to Zhongzhou State for more than 20 years since he became the God of War in protecting Zhongzhou State.


I think Kunlun City is still not qualified. If Gu Xingyun is the second-in-command of the Special Warfare System, or just a big force in Zhongzhou State, I can accept it. In these positions, Gu Xingyun may even do better. More than 20 years after he became the state-protecting God of War, the foreign super forces rarely invaded Zhongzhou State. But the prestige of Zhongzhou State in the Dark World has been declining. Why?


Because Gu Xingyun is too shrewd. He is like a businessman. He will choose to weigh and compromise. Even I am amazed by his subtle dealing of some things.

Li Huacheng laughed at himself.
But that’s not what I want. It’s not what Zhongzhou State wants. It’s not even anything that Gu Xingyun should have.


The state-protecting God of War in Zhongzhou State can weigh, compromise, and be like a businessman. He can do anything except one thing. He can’t retreat!


He’s the Zhongzhou State-protecting God of War. He’s protecting the entire Zhongzhou State. How can he retreat? He can’t retreat even one step! That’s a position with no retreat, no matter what happens, including a storm, giant waves, thunder, falling mountains, and the splitting earth. Even at the end of the world, he must stand there as the God of War. He can only move forward and not retreat half a step!


Because the place one step away from him is the whole country that he has to protect.

Li Huacheng took a deep breath and said,
Gu Xingyun can’t do this. Although he has done a good job over the years, he will definitely retreat when facing a more serious situation that he can’t handle. But the Li family won’t, and the current Li family won’t. Li Honghe, Li Tianlan, and even Li Kuangtu, each of them will try their best to deal with a crisis that they can’t solve. Even if they die there, they won’t retreat. They would rather die than retreat.


This is the God of War of Zhongzhou State that I want! Tianlan’s performance in Eastern Europe shows that I have made the right choice. But if you ask him to come back now, maybe after many years, he will become another Gu Xingyun. This is not what I want. It is really not what I want.

Li Huacheng looked at Dongcheng Wudi, who was silent, and whispered,
Are you sure that if you ask Tianlan to come back now, he will come back?

Dongcheng Wudi thought for a while then shook his head.
I’m not sure.


I’m sure.

Li Huacheng laughed and said,
At this time, even if you ask him to come back, he won’t come back.


But it’s too dangerous for him in Eastern Europe.

Dongcheng Wudi frowned.

Qin Weibai is there,
Li Huacheng whispered.
He looked into Dongcheng Wudi’s eyes and said,
Wudi, you should remember one thing. Don’t underestimate Qin Weibai at any time. I mean any time!


As for some risks, they are destined to exist. This is the case in Eastern Europe, as it is with everything Tianlan will meet in the future. If he loses in Eastern Europe, the Giant Group will not have a good end. Nor will the Academics. But if he wins, it means that he has won the qualification to replace Gu Xingyun. Such a God of War in Zhongzhou State is the most reassuring one for me.

Li Huacheng said softly,
It’s about the future of a country. I’m willing to bet on the future of the Giant Group and the Academics. I’ll bet on a stable future of Zhongzhou State.
