Chapter 94: Threatening the Winter Empire: The Home Exchange Policy (5k)

In January of the 137th year of the Transcendent Calendar, the Qin family of the Federation sent three envoys to the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire, carrying the requests of the Federation's aristocratic families.

[The Winter Empire has already started a war with the Red Heart Society in the southern border, so the Winter Empire does not need to worry about it.]

After meeting with the leaders of the two empires, the envoy stated that as long as the two empires were willing to send troops, the Federation would be willing to give up half of the profits from the Federation's border crossings over the next ten years.

[For a country as large as the Federation, the customs and taxes imposed on both the internal and external borders are extremely horrific.]

[However, purely economic issues are still not enough to shake the strategic policies of the two empires.]

[Initially, the top leaders of the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire disagreed.]

[After all, the two sides have been fighting for so long, and the real fire has already been raging.]

[Cooperate with the other party and send troops together to wipe out the Red Heart Society?]

【How can it be? 】

[When a national war is imminent, it is still necessary to prioritize gathering troops and destroying all the enemy's living forces.]

【Only in this way can one gain sufficient benefits for one's country. 】

[This benefit is much greater than the so-called border benefits of the Federation.]

However, as the Qin family's envoys began to roam among the upper echelons of the two empires, their main targets were the aristocratic families of the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire.

They took the scale of the Red Heart Society's development and combined it with the Red Heart Society's slogans.

Especially when the aristocratic families were judged, all their wealth was stripped away, and all the resources accumulated by the aristocratic families over the years were distributed to the lower classes, the aristocratic families of the two empires were also moved.

As powerful figures in charge of a region, they naturally possess political foresight beyond the ordinary.

They immediately saw the Red Heart Society's appeal to the lower classes, and their ability to disrupt the Federation to such an extent that they even forced the Federation to seek aid from the two empires also revealed the Red Heart Society's war potential.

If such an organization, which speaks for the lower classes and judges the aristocratic families and deprives them of all their wealth, were allowed to develop, it would surely bring hope to the lower classes of their own country.

[The current Red Heart Society has not yet gained federal power, nor has it achieved victory in the war.]

Therefore, they don’t pay much attention to the struggles in the international community.

[But once the Red Heart Society takes power, it will inevitably turn its attention to other countries in order to expand its influence and become more powerful.]

[By then, a so-called Red Heart Society branch will inevitably be born in their country.]

[This is something they cannot allow! ]

If the Red Heart Society is weak, they can provide them with weapons and resources, allowing them to wreak havoc within the Federation.

[But now the Red Heart Society has grown to the point where it can rival the Winter Empire, and this is only when it controls half of the Federation.]

If the Red Heart Society completely controls the Federation, a true dragon will emerge from their ranks!

[In any case, this is something they don't want to see.]

[Of course, there is a deeper reason.]

[The aristocratic families of the Federation all have marriage ties with aristocratic families of other empires to varying degrees.]

[In other words, they are all relatives.]

[My relatives have all come to me for help and have offered me sufficient incentives, so I should help if I can.]

If relatives fight on the battlefield, the loser can simply pay a ransom to the other party. Under normal circumstances, there is no danger to their lives.

[But if the Red Heart Society, a cult organization, were to gain power, they wouldn't dare to imagine how the war would develop in the future!]

[Thus, with the Qin family of the Federation acting as a middleman, and the Federation willing to raise the stakes again by dividing parts of the northern and eastern borders between the two empires, the White Eagle Empire and Sunset Empire's top brass reached a secret agreement that evening.]

The two empires are engaged in a border conflict, maintaining a superficial situation to mislead the Red Heart Society.

[The truly elite regiments and armies will utilize the power of the large-scale teleportation array to gather at the Federation Center first.]

[Everything started when the Red Heart Society and the Winter Empire were fighting at their most intense. The Federation, in coordination with the two empires, launched a massive encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Heart Society.]

The war between the two empires, which other countries and powers had failed to mediate despite sending numerous envoys and lobbyists, was unexpectedly peacefully mediated in a different way by the words of the Qin family's envoys from the Federation.

[A high-ranking official from the White Eagle Empire stated at a meeting that after this incident, the International Peace Organization should award the Qin family of the Federation a Peace Medal as a reward.]

[In May of the 137th year of the Transcendental Calendar, the armies of the two empires have assembled in the heart of the Federation.]

【This battle is crucial.】

Therefore, all the noble families in the Federation are doing their utmost to conceal information about the armies of the two empires. Even those who believe in the Federation and want to make it great again have made the traitorous decision that goes against their conscience.

[After all, before one's own life and the continuation of one's family, the interests of the Federation are not worth mentioning.]

Lin Xue's intelligence organization, through the sudden increase in food consumption and abnormal consumption of extraordinary resources in the central city of the Federation, issued an urgent warning to the Red Heart Society headquarters.

[In June of the 137th year of the Transcendental Calendar, four powerful figures engaged in a fierce battle above the Federation Center.]

[An old man in military uniform, holding a weapon, launches an explosive attack while spewing obscenities.]

[The indiscriminate tirade, using the opponent's eighteen generations of ancestors as the axis and the opponent's parents and relatives as the radius, made the veins on the heads of the top masters fighting him bulge.]

In July of the 137th year of the Transcendental Calendar, Lin Xue, based on the Federation's recent calm and the abnormal resource consumption at the Federation Center, concluded that the Federation might be making a major move.

[So, she ordered the Red Heart Army on the southern frontier to enter an emergency defensive posture.]

[Then, a million Red Heart troops were mobilized and, using dispersed terrain, secretly marched to the border of Northern Lake Province with the Federation.]

[In the same month, the Red Heart Society received a warning from the Winter Empire.]

The Federation, the White Eagle Empire, and the Sunset Empire are allied to encircle and suppress the Red Heart Society.

The reason the Winter Empire alerted the Red Heart Society was entirely because the Winter Empire's high-ranking spies had, through various channels, spread the news of the secret alliance between the three nations to the Winter Empire.

The Federation intends to use the Winter Empire's military pressure on the Red Heart Society, but it has thrown the Winter Empire aside.

【Why? 】

The Federation promised the Sunset Empire and the White Eagle Empire various benefits. Why did the Winter Empire pay so much, but get nothing?

How can this be possible?

[People worry not about scarcity but about inequality. When the Emperor of the Winter Empire learned of this, he immediately ordered the matter to be conveyed to the Red Heart Society.]

[At the same time, some cooperation intentions were also conveyed. ]

[Since the Federation has chosen to backstab the Red Heart Society, should the Red Heart Society cooperate with the Winter Empire?]

As long as the Red Heart Society is willing to cede the captured Southern Border Fortress to the Winter Empire and provide the Winter Empire with a batch of extraordinary resources as war compensation, then the Winter Empire may not be unable to side with the Red Heart Society.

【For this, you directly chose to refuse. 】

[At this point in time, in a few months, the will of the Abyss World will manifest in the Sunset Empire.]

【By then, the Sunset Empire army will surely come back to support.】

[And the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire will have no time to care about other things during the future invasion of the Abyss World.]

[Most importantly, the Red Heart Order suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Winter Empire, and nearly one-third of the Red Heart members who had always followed you were killed or injured.]

[How much sacrifice did the Red Heart Society make in order to capture the Southern Fortress?]

[How many Red Heart soldiers died?]

[With such an unparalleled blood feud, how could you possibly agree to the Winter Empire's conditions?]

[But before the war actually breaks out, you also need some foundation to defend yourself.]

So, you invite the United States to an arms trade, and this time you want to buy forbidden weapons.

[Initially, the United States refused.]

[But when they saw the conditions you offered, they quietly armed the Forbidden Army and dispatched a group of professionals to teach the members of the Red Heart Society.]

[After all, the forbidden military weapons are very complicated to control. If you press the wrong button, it will be a disaster.]

[In August of the 137th year of the Supernatural Calendar, the Winter Empire was furious at your ignorance of the current situation. The Winter Empire's military even issued a military strategy document prohibiting a strike against the Southern Fortress where the Red Heart Society is located.]

[Regarding this, you simply publicized a plan for the "Red Heart Society's Great Relocation."]

Millions of Red Heart soldiers are stationed at the border, and tens of millions of Red Heart Society members are also on standby near the southern border.

If the Winter Empire shows any signs of releasing forbidden weapons, the millions of Red Heart soldiers will begin a life-threatening battle, cooperating with the countless high-end combat forces of the Red Heart War Group to completely penetrate the Winter Empire.

[At that time, everyone will unite and fight guerrilla warfare within the Winter Empire.]

The Winter Empire's population is still smaller than the Red Heart Society's. [So, if Red Heart Society members enter the Winter Empire, the original races of the Winter Empire will become a minority.]

[At that time, everyone will engage in a huge fight in the chaotic Winter Empire.]

[If the Winter Empire dares to come forward, then use forbidden weapons to attack your own territory!]

[As soon as this plan came out, the Winter Empire fell into silence.]

In September of the 137th year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Federation, along with the elite armies and regiments of the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire, launched an undeclared war against the Red Heart Society at the border of North Lake Province.

[Instantly, the defense line constructed by the Red Heart Club came under fierce attack.]

Even though the Chixin Association took precautions, they were still beaten back by the coalition forces of the three major nations.

[For a time, the Red Heart Army suffered heavy losses.]

[But similarly, federal public opinion was blown up again.]

[Following the last time the Federation and the Winter Empire attacked the Red Heart Society together, the Federation has now joined forces with two foreign powers, the Sunset Empire and the White Eagle Empire.]

[Damn Federal General Office! ]

【This is blatant treason! 】

[So, not long after the war broke out, a large number of Federation soldiers and regiments defected to the Red Heart Society.]

[Except for the Central Army and the Imperial Guard, which were directly under the Federation General Office, almost all of the Federation's troops lost contact within a short period of time.]

[A large number of numbered regiments also defected to the Red Heart Society.]

[Only the warbands created by the Federation's aristocratic families and directly under the command of the Federation's General Manager have not defected.]

[However, the morale of the lower-level troops and members of the battle group is still showing signs of collapse.]

[In January of the 138th year of the Supernormal Calendar, a confidential document of the Red Heart Society, "Evacuation Plan for the Southern Border Defense," was intercepted by the Winter Empire's intelligence organization.]

[The Emperor of the Winter Empire was in a very happy mood before reading it.]

[But when he saw this sentence in the plan, his face changed drastically.]

[Once the Winter Empire's army advances deeply, we will directly launch the forbidden military weapon traded from the United States: Little Fatty No. 1, and destroy all members of the Winter Empire's army that crosses the southern border.]

[After seeing this news, the Emperor of the Winter Empire immediately ordered the military to suspend all cross-border activities.]

He didn't know if what was said in the plan was true, but he also didn't know if it was false.

When the Winter Empire Intelligence Organization purchased the Red Heart Society's purchase list from the United States military and discovered that it actually contained information about Little Fatty No. 1's transactions, all the Empire's top brass fell silent.

[The following day, His Majesty the Emperor of the Winter Empire personally issued an order, prohibiting the Winter Empire's army from crossing the Federation's southern border without his permission.]

[Under normal circumstances, if both sides in a war have forbidden weapons, they are generally kept as trump cards.]

[It will never be used unless it is a matter of life and death.]

[After all, who plays cards and plays the trump card at the beginning? ]

[However, the Red Heart Society now seems to be on its last legs due to the joint attack from the Federation, the White Eagle Empire, and the Sunset Empire.]

[Since this is the case, the Winter Empire should avoid provoking the crazy Red Heart Society.]

[Wouldn't it be better to let these four dogs fight it out there while the Winter Empire sits back and reaps the benefits?]

[After the Federation wins, the Winter Empire will take the southern benefits that the other party refuses to give!]

[In May of the 138th year of the Transcendental Calendar, a projection of the Abyss World appeared within the territory of the Sunset Empire.]

[As a large number of Abyss Lords and their followers rushed out of the Demon Cave and the Abyss Front, the Sunset Empire fell into chaos.]

【So, the Sunset Empire army rushed back to provide assistance.】

[The Red Heart Society seized the opportunity and launched a frenzied attack on the combined forces of the Federation and the White Eagle Empire.]

[The explosive attack of millions of Red Heart Army soldiers and hundreds of escort regiments was too much for even the White Eagle Empire, renowned for its military might.]

[After all, the elite troops sent by the White Eagle Empire to the Federation are not the entire military strength of the country.]

[For a time, the White Eagle Empire was considering retreating.]

[The Sunset Empire's retreat and the Winter Empire's inaction made this campaign against the Red Heart Society a joke!]

However, the Red Heart Society had no intention of letting the White Eagle Empire go. The Red Heart troops, coming from all directions, fearlessly launched suicide attacks against the Allied Forces.

The top brass of the Federation couldn't understand why the army, which was so weak under their control, became so brave and capable after joining the Red Heart Army.

[In June of the 138th year of the Transcendental Calendar, after paying a huge amount of war reparations, the White Eagle Empire withdrew its troops from the Federation.]

[And in a speech to the entire Federation, you ignored the Federation's top leaders' desire for negotiations and ordered the Red Heart Army across the country to march towards the center of the Federation.]

【Hit the Federal Center! 】

【Liberate all the oppressed lower classes! 】

[For a time, the Red Heart Society swept across the entire federation, and no one could shake it.]

[In July of the 138th year of the Supernatural Calendar, the Red Heart Society headquarters you were in was attacked by a top-tier space mage. However, the killer space move the opponent was preparing was blocked by an old man in military uniform.]

[You watched through spatial projection technology as the aftermath of the battle between the two men in the distance was so strong it could destroy a mountain, and remained silent.]

[The power you possess now is still too weak.]

[But fortunately, with the current strength of the Red Heart Group, we will be able to take precautions and will never allow the other party to come and go freely like this again.]

[It might not be possible to completely stop the opponent, but it's still possible to repel him.]

[In August of the 138th year of the Transcendent Calendar, under the charge of millions of Red Heart Army soldiers, provinces within the Federation quickly fell.]

[There were even times when the Red Heart Army hadn't even arrived yet, but the Red Heart Chapter members in that province had already used the Red Heart Army's terrifying might to seize the province.]

【There are successes, and there are failures.】

In Linjiang Province, the Red Heart Society members' uprising was discovered by federal officials, and the members involved were brutally suppressed.

[These members of the Red Heart Society fell in the darkness before dawn.]

[But even when they were sentenced to death and taken to the execution ground, they still kept a bright smile on their faces.]

[Because they understood that the land beneath their feet was about to undergo a regime change.]

[The future family will be very different! ]

【The era of sincerity is coming soon! 】

[Even though they can't see it in person, when they know their dreams are about to come true and their ideals are about to be realized, their hearts are still filled with joy and laughter.]

【Death, there is nothing to be afraid of.】

[To die for one's ideals is the glory that all sincere people dream of.]

[In the same month, when the Red Heart Army liberated Linjiang Province and the Red Heart Society learned of this unparalleled tragedy, someone was bound to pay a heavy price for it.]

【All those who participated in the suppression will be killed! 】

【All stakeholders, kill! 】

【Kill, kill, kill! 】

Even if Linjiang provincial officials flee abroad, members of the Chixin Society outside the Federation will issue bounties and hunt them down.

【Anyone who hurts their sincere compatriots will pay a heavy price for their actions! 】

The Red Heart Army's actions were intended to warn the remaining federal provinces: if the enemy dared to attack Red Heart members again before the Red Heart Society seized power, the Red Heart Society would surely make them know the pain of revenge that would penetrate deeply into their bones.

After learning about this incident, the aristocratic families of the Federation changed their ways.

[The Federation is now beyond salvation.]

[Fortunately, the family has businesses and influence outside the Federation, as well as family and friends who can be relied upon.]

[So, a large number of children from aristocratic families began to flee frantically before the Red Heart Society reached the federal center.]

【Their lives are very precious! 】

[It is absolutely incomparable to those untouchables! ]

[Anyway, as long as you have money and resources, you can develop well in any country, right?]
