Total war was what Su Yuan told Qi Jiguang before he set off.

Originally, there was no way for peace between Dong'an and Xifeng. The so-called armistice treaty was nothing more than an expedient measure to delay the war, for both sides.

Now that the veil of kindness has been completely torn off, no one needs to pretend anymore, they can just do it to the end.

…

In less than a day, Kete City was in the hands of the Dong'an Army.

Moreover, this place will serve as a bridgehead, and a steady stream of Dong'an soldiers will be transported here from the waterway, and from here they will launch radiation attacks on the entire Xifeng territory.

The telegram sent from the city hall became the fuse that ignited the entire world's attention.

After learning the news, the Xifeng Presidential Palace issued a statement almost immediately, severely condemning Dongan's betrayal and accusing Dongan's army of unilaterally tearing up the treaty.

He said nothing about his army ambushing in Cote City.

After making the accusation, Delz immediately issued a mobilization order, calling on the country to unite from top to bottom, and everyone must contribute their own strength to the peace of the motherland and the fight against the Dong'an invaders.

Not only did he mobilize domestically, he also spoke out internationally, hoping to gain support from various countries.

He mentioned that if all countries stood aside and did not help, then once the Xifeng Kingdom was defeated, it would be the turn of these countries to be invaded next.

Especially the major Western countries, they are the main targets of Dalez's lobbying.

However, the effect of lobbying is there, but it cannot be said to be particularly significant.

Most of the previous members of the Alliance lost troops and generals in the South China Sea and later participated in compensation, resulting in very poor domestic economic conditions.

At this time, if you send troops and take the initiative to participate in a war that has nothing to do with you, you will undoubtedly not get the support of the people.

If there is no civilian support and forceful troops are sent out, the result is likely that the army will go alone and the people who make the decision will be eliminated.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, especially since many soldiers have experienced psychological shadow after experiencing the battle with the Dong'an Army and are unwilling to go to the battlefield again.

Moreover, Dong'an also released evidence proving that Xifeng Kingdom was the first to disregard the treaty and deployed heavy troops at the port in an attempt to ambush Dong'an's troops taking over Cote Port.

The evidence ranges from physical evidence photos to witness witnesses and soldiers, and Dellz cannot deny it even if he wants to.

This resulted in Xifeng Kingdom being at an absolute disadvantage in the field of public opinion.

In this way, Dong'an's declaration of war is more like a punishment for Xifeng's breaking of the treaty, and it has nothing to do with other countries. If other countries have to get involved, they will have to bear certain risks.

Therefore, although think tanks in many countries have put forward analyzes and believe that this is Su Yuan's "cannibalization strategy" to first defeat Xifeng and then gradually cannibalize other countries, it is still useless.

There is nothing you can do to deal with this kind of conspiracy that is so obvious.

These countries have more than enough ambition but not enough power, so they can only verbally express their dissatisfaction with Dong'an, believing that negotiations should be conducted first and war should not be started lightly.

But there are also many supporters of Dongan, especially small countries like Wenlai, which were bullied by the West in the past. They used to suffer from the lack of legs and did not dare to speak out, but now they stand up and wave the flag and shout for Dongan.

If he said there was no sign from Dong'an behind him, even the ghost wouldn't believe it.

What caused even more headaches for the Western Kingdom was that a traitor was found among them.

That is the Saxon country.

As early as before the founding of Dong'an, when Su Yuan and his gang were still an unnamed armed force, the Saxons established commercial relations with them, which was considered a bet.

Later, Su Yuan successfully became the master of the Eastern Empire, and the Saxon Kingdom succeeded in making a bet, and the rewards received were extremely considerable, which made its national power soar, reaching the point where it is almost on an equal footing with the Xifeng Kingdom.

After that, the Saxons enjoyed the benefits and continued to have close exchanges with Dong'an.

Now, after Dong'an declared a full-scale war against Xifeng, Saxon, as a Western country, actually expressed its support internationally.

They said that Xifeng country had torn up the treaty first, and Dong'an's anger was understandable. However, out of humanitarian considerations, they also hoped that Dong'an could control his anger and not harm ordinary civilians in Xifeng...

Of course humanitarianism is nonsense, but the most important thing is its supporting attitude.

The emergence of such a traitor has caused Western countries to no longer be monolithic.

For a while, some countries were moaning for Xifeng but not contributing; some were secretly contacting the Saxon country, hoping to join the "new alliance"; and some countries said they would not comment and remained silent, which was actually the case.

I'm waiting to see who wins before I help anyone.

Under such a treacherous international situation, Xifeng Kingdom has no choice but to rely on others and can only bite the bullet and fight Dong'an to the end.

…

Jinghai.

The latest telegrams sent from Cote are piled in front of Su Yuan's papers.

Thousands of miles away, he can be said to have a firm grasp of the situation there.

Zhou Shu is sitting next to him now. The two of them have been handling government affairs together for the past few days.

"Xifeng is now launching a large-scale military recruitment." She handed over a telegram to Su Yuan, "It is compulsory for men over the age of sixteen to join the army, and women must also enter the factory to provide all the necessary items for combat."

Su Yuan took it and took a look. The huge words on it read "Fight! Fight!".

"It seems that their senior leaders also know that if they don't go all out, Xifeng Kingdom will become history from now on."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Shu had a feeling that Su Yuan did not intend to fight a decisive battle with Xifeng. This was not his style.

And Xifeng is different from many small countries. This is a real big country with a vast territory and a large population. If Xifeng is really allowed to mobilize, it will probably end up with a million-strong army.

Su Yuandao: "In fact, in wars, the people who have been most injured since ancient times have been the common people. The words of the upper class may determine the life or death of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield."

"This has not always been the case since ancient times." Zhou Shu also understood this truth.

"The senior officials of Xifeng want to launch a large-scale mobilization and want everyone across the country to join the war. If we let them do this and start a war in the future, we will have no problem winning. But too many people will die."

"We cannot engage in public security wars in a big country like Xifeng. That would consume too much military and material resources. So the best situation, the most beneficial situation for us, is to make the citizens of Xifeng country happy, or

He said he would not exclude us from taking over the political power."

After Zhou Shu heard this, he asked: "So, you want to carry out a beheading operation against Xifeng's senior executives?"

Since Su Yuan said that he did not want too many people to die and that all the people of Xifeng would hate Dong'an, so that there would be endless public security wars to deal with...then there seemed to be only one solution left, which was to mobilize the people

People are destroyed.

"There must be a beheading operation, but it doesn't have to be us." Su Yuan smiled at Zhou Shu, "Brothers will kill each other among the children born to the same mother. Not to mention those high-level officials who are only interested in profit?"

Zhou Shu suddenly showed a look of understanding: "...I understand, you want to win over the main surrender faction in Xifeng's senior management, secretly support them, and let them complete the beheading of the main battle faction for you."

"We can try. If it doesn't work, we'll do it ourselves."
