Chapter 1302: TWO Chapter 1302-Jack’s solution

Within the tent, Han Xin gave the three legion corps their missions, pretty much covering the entire Columbia region. However, he did not mention their other target, the Brasilia Dynasty, at all, making it hard for them to understand.

Facing the doubts of the generals, Han Xin did not answer and simply told them to execute his orders as told.

5th month, 16th day, along with Han Xin giving the order, the America warzone burst out. The huge army exited Zhidian City, crossing the Ecuador north border and entering the Columbia region.

( AllNovel )  Behind them was a long line of grain transport forces.

This grain had been sent over from the Indian Empire to pay for the firearms. To transport the grain to the frontlines, Ecuador Prefecture Governor Zhou Haichen had basically mobilized all the healthy young men.

Dawson Dynasty, Free City.

The news of Great Xia attacking Columbia spread back to the Capital City right away.

When Jack received the report, his expression was really solemn, and he muttered, “Cunning easterner, actually striking at such a time. What a plot.”

The current Jack did not realize that the entire war of America was planned by Great Xia.

Great Xia had set the stage for so long so that they could strike once to take down the Panama Canal and grab the Dawson Dynasty by its neck; this would allow them to prepare for their next big moves.

“How many troops can the dynasty send to assist Columbia?” Jack asked. Sitting opposite to him was the Dawson Dynasty Prime Minister, Franklin.

The Panama Canal was simply too important. If it weren’t, the Dawson Dynasty would not have a fifth of their soldiers stationed there.

Hence, Jack instinctively wanted to protect it, protect the Panama Canal.

When Franklin heard this question, he replied, “We can at most send 100 thousand.”

“So little?” Jack was surprised.

“In the recent month, the Maple Dynasty’s defenses in the north have been really stubborn, and their firepower has been increasing instead of decreasing. I suspect that they have received a new batch of firearms.”

Franklin was helpless and continued, “The Mayan Dynasty in the south is also like that. Recently, their disturbance to the south of the Empire has been really intense. A large portion of our troops have been sent to these two battlefields.”

Jack’s expression was really ugly, and he ordered, “Investigate where they bought their firearms from.”

“If I’m right, it should be Great Xia. Only Great Xia has the ability to sell so many firearms.” Franklin really certain about this.

“Great Xia, Great Xia again!”

Jack muttered. In his heart, he felt a bad premonition.

“We are fighting to the death on the frontlines while Great Xia was profiting greatly. What a good plan.” Jack roughly caught a glimpse of the shadow of Great Xia hanging over this entire war. In his heart, he felt depressed.

History had taken a massive 180-degree turn.

“It seems like we need to instigate the Darkness empire to create problems for Great Xia. If not, Great Xia’s land will be clean and too peaceful.” Jack’s eyes shone with a dark cold light.

Franklin said, “In my opinion, the Darkness empire consists of a bunch of bugs hiding in the dark. To ask them to fight Great Xia in the light would be tough. In the Battle of Hawaii, they were beaten till they were scared by Great Xia.”

“If we don’t try, how would we know that it won’t work? It’s better than not doing anything.”

Jack had confidence in the Darkness empire. He believed that Keisuke Honda and the others would not forget about how Great Xia had wiped them out. Someday, they would give Great Xia a fatal blow.

“Then let’s try!” Franklin did not insist and instead asked, “How will we deal with Columbia? Should we send reinforcements? Based on the intel from the frontlines, they have 750 thousand troops, and they are determined to win.”

With the way he put it, Franklin evidently did not support the sending of reinforcements.

If they wanted to go against the Great Xia Army, the Dawson Dynasty would at least have to send 500 thousand more troops, which was impossible.

Jack did not want to give up so easily, as the strategic position of the Panama Canal was just too important, so he said, “Can we have the army attacking the Indian Empire withdraw and let the Brasilia Dynasty send in more reinforcements?”

“We can withdraw our troops, but it would be difficult to make them send more troops.”

“If Great Xia takes down Columbia, their next target would be the Brasilia Dynasty. If not, why would Great Xia send so many troops there?” Jack looked at the matter with more clarity than Franklin and said, “As long as we discuss the pros and cons with them, they would definitely send reinforcements.”

Franklin nodded, acknowledging Jack’s judgement. He followed by analyzing the difficulties within, “The current South America battlefield is really complicated. For our army to withdraw from the frontlines will be tough.”

“Then let the Brasilia Dynasty army cover us. We are fighting the war for them.”

‘However, if we do that, their resentment toward us would be huge. After all, they are hoping to use this battle to crush the Indian Empire.’ Franklin thought.

The Brasilia Dynasty was no one’s puppet. They were willing to ally with the Dawson Dynasty due to their need to go against the Indian Empire.

For this reason, threw in 400 thousand troops onto the east front.

One must know that since the beginning of the war till now, the Brasilia Dynasty had only around 800 thousand troops. In other words, they had thrown in half of their army, showing a lot of determination.

If they withdrew now, everything would be wasted.

Thinking further, without the threat from the east, it might only be a matter of time after the Indian Empire dealt with Argentina. When that happens, how could the Brasilia Dynasty go against the Indian Empire?

Along with Great Xia interfering in the South America battlefield, the Dawson Dynasty was still a good support in the eyes of the Brasilia Dynasty.

In time, everything would change.

Under such circumstances, Jack wanted to demand the Brasilia Dynasty to not only withdraw from the Indian Empire but also send troops to reinforce Columbia; that was asking a little too much.

If he really did that, their relationship as allies would definitely come to an end.

Jack was really decisive and said, “Let’s get through this problem first. As for what happens next, that will be for the future.” In Jack’s eyes, allies were just chess pieces.

When one should give up, one must not hesitate.

When Franklin heard that, he sighed in his heart. Based on his judgement, rather than protecting the Panama Canal, it was better to maintain a good relationship with the Brasilia Dynasty.

Giving up on the Brasilia Dynasty was a stupid choice.

After all, they were only at the start of the industrial revolution. The Panama Canal’s importance to the Dawson Dynasty was a far cry from its importance in the future.

Of course, Jack had his own ideals. He was looking at was the future of the Empire, so one could not say that he was wrong.

“There’s also another point, ” Franklin felt that he needed to remind Jack, so he said, “If we withdraw from the east, the Argentina region might be lost. How will we answer to the Spain Dynasty?”

This time, Jack was totally stunned.
