Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

In his previous life, Mo Mo directly lowered the world's GDP by nearly a quarter that year, and would probably have been cursed to death by countless people all over the world.

Two months later, the world gradually returned to normal. Britannia and the EU, emerging from the shadow of the virus, began to pay real attention to computer network security, and related professional and research activities were immediately launched. In the EU, a number of conservative members of parliament also emerged, taking the opportunity to launch a massive attack on computer networks, and even calling for the banning of the internet.

However, no one will believe such nonsense. Although computer networks have suffered such great hardships, this only shows the importance of computers and networks. It is precisely because of the importance of computers and computer networks that the world has been in such great chaos.

Therefore, the more mainstream view is that people around the world are paying more attention to computers and computer networks than before, and have realized the potential in this field.

Of course, there are voices calling for the pursuit of the culprit and the bringing the virus's creator to justice, but such voices are destined to be powerless. After all, almost everyone in the computer industry has to start from scratch to understand and research computer viruses, which is bound to be a long and arduous journey of growth through struggle.

And the mastermind behind all this, Momo, is destined to become a legend in the eyes of struggling programmers all over the world—a legend who single-handedly created computer viruses from scratch and made them affect the entire world.

Momo only learned the details of all this after the world's computer networks gradually recovered. This surprised Momo, because he had originally thought that these viruses would at least buy him a month, but the data codes actually bought him a full two months.

For two months, communication with people all over the world was almost completely cut off. Even though there were still some people with extraordinary abilities who were able to get news from the Chinese Empire, it was clear that they were more concerned about the mess at home than the Chinese Empire.

With things at home in such a mess, how could I possibly have the mind to care about the affairs of the distant Eastern Chinese Empire?

It wasn't until communication around the world gradually resumed, and everyone had finished dealing with their own affairs and had some free time, that they suddenly remembered that in the far East, the Chinese Empire, one of the world's three superpowers, was still embroiled in a civil war!

The war there has a direct impact on the world situation!

However, at this time, the Luoyang Military Region had already consolidated and integrated the Qilu Military Region and the Yanjing Military Region. The three military regions were connected and had a considerable territory, a well-established industrial system, and resource production areas, giving them a strong trump card.

Friends from all over the world who only learned of the outcome of the Battle of Luoyang two months later could only look on in bewilderment and say, "I don't understand!"

They frantically contacted various forces within the Chinese Empire and their informants, hoping to find out the actual details of what had happened.

However, all they got was the Emperor's victory in the Battle of Luoyang, the advance from Luoyang to Xingyang, the annexation of Yanjing, and the subsequent escape of the three major naval fleets of the Chinese Empire.

All they knew was the result; they knew nothing about the process of the battle, or why the 300,000-strong army had lost.

After gaining a thorough understanding, they realized that not only were they unaware of this, but the local powers of the Chinese Empire were also unaware, just as Luoyang possessed a mysterious power that instantly annihilated 300,000 local troops.

What is unknown is terrifying. The Luoyang forces, with 30,000 men against 300,000, achieved a silent victory overnight, which baffled everyone in the world who understands military affairs.

This phenomenon has attracted more attention, and everyone has begun to imagine how such a victory could be achieved overnight using current military power and military theory.

Unfortunately, speculation is just speculation. The Luoyang authorities, and the three military regions that have now been integrated, have done an excellent job in keeping things secret. So far, no valuable information has come out from there.

It's as if the territories of those three military regions have been separated from the original Chinese Empire and become an independent world.

Just as everyone was focused on the situation in the Chinese Empire, and while the old emperor's power in Luoyang was at peace, a belated response to the civil war in the Chinese Empire finally arrived.

First, India, whose military districts were eager to make a move, finally couldn't resist declaring independence and expelling all the Chinese imperial soldiers stationed in the Indian military districts from the country.

As a country with a huge population, India could never willingly become a lackey of the Chinese empire.

Taking advantage of the internal turmoil in the Chinese Empire, the Indian princes finally seized the opportunity to realize their dream of ruling the country. They also adopted the EU democratic system as their political system. After all, India has too many princely states, and only a democratic system can allow them to establish their ruling status legally.

In response, the EU immediately recognized India as an independent country and welcomed it into the family of liberal democracies.

Anyone can see from this action that the EU is definitely behind India's independence.

Moreover, India's independence was just the beginning. Afterwards, a large number of Central and South Asian countries began to declare independence. In an instant, the Chinese Federation seemed to have collapsed.

This development has led many in the EU to exclaim that the world is ultimately free and democratic, and that freedom and democracy are the true path. Isn't the collapse of a massive empire like the Chinese Federation the best proof of this?

However, what followed, much to the delight of the EU people who were eager for nationalism and freedom, did not please them.

First, Odysseus, who had been a guest in the Chinese Empire for a long time, finally had the opportunity to return to Japan after the integration of the Qilu Military Region and the resumption of operation of Qingdao Port.

Odysseus soon left the Chinese Empire and returned from Qingdao Port to Japan, which had been completely occupied by Britannia and renamed Area 11. He then returned to Britannia.

Logically speaking, the collapse of the Chinese Empire and the disintegration of the Chinese Federation should not only be welcomed by the EU; Britannia, the hungry wolf, should also be drooling with excitement behind the scenes.

But this time, Britannia was unusually quiet.

Odysseus returned to Britannia, where he was reportedly summoned by the emperor and parliament, where he was likely questioned in detail about the changes that had taken place in the Chinese Empire during this period.

Now is the perfect opportunity to kick the Chinese Empire while it's down. The EU is in an uproar, and more and more people in the parliament are inclined to take this opportunity to start a fight against the Chinese Empire, so that the EU can continue to expand its territory.

After all, the Chinese Empire seems so easy to bully right now; the various countries in the Middle East alone are like pieces of fat meat.

However, Britannia's subsequent actions stunned the EU.

Britannia chose to remain silent.

Neither taking the opportunity to kick the Chinese Empire when it was down nor showing any friendly attitude, they acted as if they knew nothing about what had happened in the Chinese Empire, even though Odysseus, the first prince of Britannia, was probably the only Britannian who witnessed the Battle of Luoyang. Unfortunately, the truth is that Odysseus slept soundly in a specially made soundproof room on the night of the Battle of Luoyang.

This baffled everyone in the EU, but Britannia did exactly that, without hesitation.

This made the already somewhat mysterious situation in the Chinese Empire even more perplexing. EU parliamentarians and businessmen who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the Chinese Empire suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Britannia... surely they wouldn't be thinking of launching a surprise attack on the EU while the EU is fighting the Chinese Empire, would they?

After all... compared to the Chinese Empire in the far East, EU people felt that their own wealthy Europe was more valuable and attractive.

This is the third month of the Battle of Luoyang, a mysterious month in which chaos and tranquility intertwine.

128 The Prelude to August

Chinese Empire, Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou Port

Having seen Odysseus off, Momer was about to continue with his plan.

Mo Mo naturally didn't need to personally oversee the specific construction and development of the Chinese Empire. After a period of disappointment, Asuna also emerged from the shadows, and aside from spending time with Emperor Jiang Lihua, she began to take charge of these matters.

Argo continued her espionage work, creating the Vermilion Bird Group, Black Tortoise Group, and White Tiger Group in addition to the Chinese Dragon Group, thus forcibly assembling the Four Sacred Beasts and countless beasts... cough cough. The spies began to infiltrate local areas under various identities and started their operations.

In addition, the three military regions have also begun to integrate, and the integration is not only of industrial, commercial, banking and government management agencies, but also of the military, which naturally needs to undergo new integration training.

The new military reorganization plan is being planned in conjunction with the upcoming launch of new weapons. Artoria and Kuroyukihime are in charge of these matters. Due to the expansion of the army, many members of the Crimson Guard have been promoted significantly, and Kuroyukihime may even become a general in the future.

Yuki remained Momo's bodyguard, and CC, as usual, followed Momo around aimlessly. The only thing that surprised Momo was that Karen did not follow Momo's plan to return to Japan and her home with Odysseus, but instead chose to stay.

“I don’t mind if you stay, but right now Japan has been completely conquered by Britannia. Although there are still battles in some places, Tokyo has definitely returned to normal.”

"With my prior arrangements, I believe your and your mother's status within the Hugh Dafelt family will improve. You can completely resume your normal life. Are you really not going back?"

Faced with Mo Mo's concerned gaze, Karen simply lowered her head, unconsciously touching the ring on her left hand, and said, "I spoke with Mom and my brother on the phone, and they're doing well. But I feel I can learn more from you, so let me follow you!"

CC stared at Karen with a playful smile, then glanced at Momo. She was probably the only one who knew Karen's thoughts.

"Although there's no problem with me following you, I'll be traveling a lot from now on. Are you willing to endure the hardship?"

"I am willing!"

Seeing Karen raise her head, revealing a determined look in her eyes, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go!"

……

Britannia, capital city, Pendragon.

After being questioned by Emperor Charles and the Parliament, Odysseus returned to his palace with a weary expression.

He felt utterly helpless when he thought about what he had experienced in Luoyang.

In Luoyang, he was an observer. What does an observer do? Naturally, he is to observe the combat capabilities of both sides in the conflict, compile a report, and then report it to his superiors.

However, little did he know that what seemed to be a massive war, a battle that might last for months, would end in just one night.

Before falling asleep, the situation was one of overwhelming force and widespread panic; upon waking, however, it was a scene of resounding victory and the cleanup of the battlefield.

This made Odysseus even wonder if he had slept for a century.

Moreover, Odysseus had no one else to blame but himself.

The soundproof bedroom he was in was something he had requested from officials in Luoyang himself. After all, Luoyang had entered full-scale industrial mode in preparation for war, and even though he lived in the guesthouse, he was affected and couldn't sleep at night.

Therefore, he asked the officials in Luoyang to prepare a well-insulated room for him so that he could get a good night's sleep.

As a result, this good feeling caused him to miss a war that would have been recorded in history, and he missed the opportunity to investigate the true strength of the Chinese Empire.

Helpless, Odysseus could only catch up on his studies after the battle, asking and requesting from Momo why all this had happened and how Luoyang had won.

Unfortunately, Odysseus, who missed the actual battle, could only hear the oral accounts of those involved and was not allowed to see any actual combat footage. Moreover, these oral accounts were clearly reviewed by professionals who determined what could and could not be said before telling Odysseus.

Thus, Odysseus witnessed the secrecy of the Chinese Imperial Guard; at the very least, the loyalty of this force was absolutely beyond question.

However, even though Odysseus knew that Momer had defeated an enemy army of 300,000 by using new weapons such as the Iron Fist RPG, rockets, and high-powered mines, he still couldn't believe that the war had ended so easily.

Finally, Momo kindly showed him the decisive weapon of Luoyang, the Divine Dragon Cannon, and even let Odysseus fire it himself.

After firing the cannon, Odysseus remained immersed in its terrifying power for a long time. The cannon seemed to have transported him to a kind of illusory realm, detaching him from reality.

Having witnessed the power of the Dragon Cannon, learned about the new weapon invented by Momo, and witnessed the sudden global wave of computer viruses, Odysseus was finally able to produce a reasonable report.

That is, the Luoyang Military Region, which was already prepared, seized upon the fact that the local army was short of supplies due to the virus outbreak, lured the local army into a trap, and then used the terrifying Shenlong Cannon to launch a deterrent decisive strike, thus winning the battle. As an observer, he suggested increasing research on super cannons and being wary of such weapons.

After returning to Britannia, this report finally managed to appease Emperor Charles and the council. Now, having spent the day giving reports, Odysseus could finally return to his palace for a good rest…

"Long time no see, Your Majesty."

However, upon returning home, Odysseus saw the harmless, smiling face of his second brother, Shuzenel. Behind Shuzenel was a girl with magenta hair, his sister Cornelia Li Britannia.

Upon seeing the two men, Odysseus immediately understood their purpose.

Cornelia was undoubtedly a fighter, a female knight who took matters into her own hands, while the second-in-command, Xiu Zenael, though not personally involved in combat, was a resourceful general. Their arrival was clearly to inquire about the situation of the Chinese Federation.

With the world now in a tripolar state, if Britannia were to continue its conquest, its inevitable target would be the Chinese Federation or the EU. And isn't the current state of the Chinese Federation a perfect opportunity to attack it?

It looks like I'll have to give another report.

Odysseus sighed, tapped the neural connection device on his neck, pulled up the data in front of him, and said, "Alright, I've said all I wanted to say. I can tell you what your father means; he will absolutely not attack the Chinese Federation. Our next target is still the EU; the EU is the place worth our attention."

When Odysseus saw the surprised expressions on his exceptionally talented younger siblings' faces, he realized that his two months in the Chinese Empire had not been in vain; at least he had been able to impress them.

"Why, why not attack the Chinese Empire? What a great opportunity! If we could occupy the Chinese Empire, the vast East would become our inexhaustible logistical base. It's a land of plenty!"

Cornelia immediately raised her voice. Odysseus scratched his head and said, "There must be many specific reasons. Father must have his own choices. Over the years, haven't Father's choices been correct? We can just trust Father."

Xiu Zenai shook his head slightly and said, "Father's great talent and strategy are beyond doubt, but there are some things that Father's methods are not necessarily the best. There are clearly more effective means."

It's probably only the second son, Schönenel, who dared to question Emperor Charles, given his illustrious military achievements and the fact that many considered him to be just as capable and ambitious as Emperor Charles.

"Then tell me, why doesn't Father Emperor attack the Chinese Empire now? Isn't this a good opportunity?"

Faced with Cornelia's persistent questioning, Xiu Zenai still shook his head and said, "I don't understand either. Perhaps this is the difference between me as a subject and my father as an emperor. My father may be considering things we don't yet know. The EU has value that my father has to fight for, while the value of the Chinese Empire may be much smaller in comparison."

"So we're just going to stand here and do nothing?"
