"Could it be... a neural connection device?"

Gao Hai also realized what was happening and touched his neck. He usually relied heavily on the neural connection device, since it was very useful, with a completely visual interface that was easy to use.

Even the elderly can use the fully graphical interface to complete the operation, and people with disabilities who have no fingers can use their vision or directly use their thoughts to operate.

The advent of neural connection devices has absolutely changed the entire world, and the Chinese Empire's army, which was the first to use neural connection devices, has a profound understanding of this.

“That’s right. We had already suspected that Momo might have the ability to control neural connection devices, manipulate intelligence, or even eavesdrop on users.”

"That's why none of us carry neural connection devices today."

Gao Hai's face was also terribly gloomy. He said, "But neural link devices have become the main communication tool in China... no, even the whole world. Even mobile phones are gradually being phased out. If Mo Mo can really control neural link devices... then wouldn't he be holding the whole world hostage!"

"Your Majesty, I request permission to immediately go to the underground center of the Mo residence to shut down the server of the neural link device. Otherwise, if he manages to cut off the communications of the entire Chinese Empire, it will lead to chaos once again!"

"Your Majesty, wasn't the disastrous defeat at the local level five years ago roughly the same as this?"

Hearing Gao Hai's words, the old emperor remained unmoved and said, "Seize it? So what if it's seized? Do you think any of you would be able to control that thing? Mo Mo never reports the secrets of that thing to me, and I'm afraid even if he leaves, that server is still under his control."

"There's nothing we can do. Even though he's gone, we'll still live in his shadow..."

After listening to the old emperor's analysis, Gao Hai fell silent, because the old emperor was absolutely right.

"Damn it! We should have at least fought everyone to capture him or killed him outright. Now he's escaped, but he still controls the lifeline of our Chinese Empire... What are we going to do?!"

The old emperor squinted, but suddenly a hint of relief appeared on his face. He said, "Alright, it's better for him to leave than for him to stay here. We can take advantage of this time to have some peace and quiet and clean up his remaining forces."

“We can’t work on neural connection devices, so we’ll start by restoring the original computer and electronic networks, and then have the government pay for the restoration of wireless communications.”

"At the same time, Jiang Zhong, your Embroidered Uniform Guard must intensify its investigation into that mysterious Chinese Party. Although they have been doing things that are beneficial to China from beginning to end, they were ultimately established by Mo Mo, and there is another woman of Mo Mo involved. They are a ticking time bomb."

"Yes, sir! I'll get to it right away!"

Gao Hai immediately accepted the order and was about to leave when the Emperor stopped him, saying, "Go and remove the bullet from your shoulder first. This isn't something we can accomplish in a day. I can hold on for a long time, so we need to take it slowly."

“Mo Mo… can escape now, but he definitely won’t be able to escape the next time we meet. My daughter… must also return to become the emperor of the Chinese Empire.”

Anger and fighting spirit shone in the old emperor's eyes. A flame burned in his heart. This time, Mo Mo had probably ignited the last flame in his heart. Fighting Mo Mo had probably become the old emperor's last wish.

"Your Majesty, regarding Mo Mo's matter... should we make it public? If we do, what tone should we use to discuss it?"

Gao Hai cautiously asked the old emperor a question, something he needed to consider, as dealing with Mo Mo was proving to be a difficult task.

"Hmph, this kind of traitor should have his crimes exposed!"

Jiang Zhong spoke out indignantly, but Gao Hai rolled his eyes.

"Lord Jiang, I understand your feelings, but if we really expose the princess's affairs, coupled with Mo Mo's influence in the Chinese Empire, won't it cause an even bigger uproar?"

"We've already lost this round, and now it's time for us to clean up the mess, not time for us to act recklessly. If we really provoke Momo into interfering with our communications, economy, and so on... don't forget how Momo easily destabilized the Chinese Empire five years ago!"

"Are we supposed to help him cover it up...? What kind of logic is that?!"

Jiang Zhong was, after all, a military man. Although he was somewhat cunning, he still relied on the Emperor and Gao Hai to devise plans most of the time. However, it was clear that he couldn't swallow the humiliation he felt at being insulted by Mo Mo.

“Jiang Zhong’s words make sense,” the Emperor also spoke up at this moment, saying, “This time we cannot be too lenient with Mo Mo’s side, after all, he has already committed treason. Therefore, the Embroidered Uniform Guard must take action, arrest those who should be arrested, and replace those who should be replaced. We cannot allow Mo Mo’s forces and his close associates to continue to control the vitals of China…”

No sooner had the Emperor finished speaking than a member of the Imperial Guard rushed over from afar, covered in sweat and looking utterly exhausted. He disregarded all formalities and dashed to the Emperor and Jiang Zhong, exclaiming, "Urgent report! Urgent!"

"Look at you! Don't you have any dignity as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Did your mother explode? What are you panicking about!"

Jiang Zhong dared not vent his anger on Gao Hai and the old emperor, so this poor messenger became Jiang Zhong's punching bag. The Jinyiwei guard, who had rushed over panting, also forced himself to hold his breath because of Jiang Zhong's words, and his face turned black.

"Jiang Zhong, let him speak!"

However, the Emperor came to his rescue, because looking at the expression on the Imperial Guard's face, the Emperor realized that something was wrong.

Mo Mo... will definitely not leave so easily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, an urgent report from Liaodong. The EU Siberian Legion launched a surprise attack on our border troops stationed in Liaodong. General Artoria Pendragon is furious and has led 100,000 troops of the First Army Group to an emergency deployment. They have now achieved a great victory and broken through the enemy's defenses."

"The General has decided to take advantage of the situation and head north along the railway to advance into Siberia, reclaim Siberia and enhance the prestige of our Chinese Empire! The entire Liaodong region is now under military control, and the follow-up troops are being prepared to launch an immediate attack. The total number of troops involved in the operation is expected to exceed 200,000."

"The General assures Your Majesty that Siberia will be reclaimed and the army will reach the Ural Mountains. Therefore, she requests that the Central Government immediately allocate resources and personnel to support the operation in Liaodong. After the operation is successfully completed, she will return to the Central Government to ask you to punish her for acting arbitrarily."

This Imperial Guard was clearly a messenger who had come from Luoyang, and seemed somewhat unaware of what was happening here. Therefore, his words carried a hint of joy, his face beaming with delight at Artoria's actions and assurances.

After all, the vast land of Siberia, which the Chinese Empire had lost for so long, was finally going to be returned to the country. Coupled with Li Xingke's success in the Indian campaign, it was entirely possible, and even foreseeable, for the Chinese Federation to be restored to its former glory.

How could this not make every citizen of the Chinese Empire happy?

However, the smile on the Imperial Guard's face froze, because he noticed that the Emperor and his two companions were staring at him with icy eyes, their faces devoid of any smile.

So he stopped laughing, quickly lowered his head, and pondered what was going on.

Then, he heard Gao Hai exclaim in surprise.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty the Emperor!"

He immediately looked up and found that the emperor was falling backward. Fortunately, Jiang Zhong was a martial artist and quickly caught the emperor.

"Summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician immediately! That woman, how dare she? How dare she act without orders? Why are all her generals following her? What's going on? What's happening to them?!"

"Have they all forgotten that they are the Emperor's army, the army of the Chinese Empire, not that woman's private army? Why are they all following that woman and acting so recklessly!"

Gao Hai jumped up in a panic, but the old emperor, who was being supported by Jiang Zhong, waved his hand and barely managed to stand up.

"Alright, Gao Hai, don't forget, the authority she exercised to assess the situation and make decisions on the spot was given to her by us. After all, we don't understand the army she leads or her fighting style, and we needed to trust her beforehand."

"But Your Majesty, this is kidnapping, this is a threat! She has always been Momo's person. Now she has led 200,000 followers out of the pass. She can attack Siberia, or she can turn around and threaten us!"

Gao Hai's face flushed red as he said, "We absolutely cannot give her any supplies or support, absolutely not!"

“Lord Gao,” Jiang Zhong said, his face also very grim, “If we give her supplies, she will still be our general, leading the army to attack Siberia. But if we don’t give her supplies and personnel, then we are forcing her to rebel.”

"Given her current prestige, if we deliberately withhold supplies and personnel and it gets exposed, a mutiny in the Liaodong army after that is almost inevitable!"

Gao Hai was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he understand why the old emperor had almost fainted.

The emperor's anger stemmed not only from rage, but also from a profound sense of helplessness!

Artoria... is completely untouchable!

You even have to support her, indulge her, and continue to coax her!

Unless, on the Emperor's side, he intends to announce to the world that Mo Mo has betrayed the country and that the princess has eloped with him.

But... is that even possible?

Obviously it is impossible.

After a long silence, the old emperor's face seemed to show countless signs of fatigue. Finally, he said, "Issue a public announcement saying... the Grand Tutor of the Chinese Empire has brought Princess Jiang Lihua..."

"She went on a study abroad trip."

211 Brother, can you please go and die?

Soon, just as the old emperor had said, the official platform of the Chinese Empire released a small text version of the announcement, stating that Mo Mo and Jiang Lihua had left Luoyang and the Chinese Empire for their study tour.

As for where they went, what they were going to do, and why they suddenly decided to go on a study tour, not a single word was mentioned.

Although the reason for not mentioning these things is that they cannot be discussed, not mentioning them will not cause any surprises.

After all, this is the whereabouts of the princess. How could we announce it to the world and tell everyone where the princess of the Chinese Empire went and what she was going to do?

Wouldn't that put the princess in even more danger?

The world is not peaceful now. Although the Chinese Empire and Britannia are on good terms, everyone knows that this friendship is just an exchange of interests, because both sides are fighting the EU.

The EU and the Chinese Empire have become mortal enemies.

Even without considering the EU, there are still countless people within the Chinese Empire who want the royal family dead. For example, at the same time as the princess's study tour, the official media heavily publicized the news of the Imperial Guards swiftly and decisively eradicating a terrorist concentration camp.

The battle was exceptionally intense, with remarkable results. Many people witnessed the large-scale deployment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which naturally became the mainstream topic of conversation throughout the entire Chinese Empire.

Of course, the appearance of the first fire ship did not escape the eyes of onlookers from afar, and the official response was simply that it was a test of a new weapon.

In this way, the matter of that day was finally covered up, and apart from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, basically no one knew what actually happened that day.

As long as Mo Mo doesn't expose the lie, the Emperor and Mo Mo will maintain a tacit understanding to prevent the whole thing from being revealed to the world.

Despite the dangerous undercurrents beneath this tacit understanding, which is achieved through mutual compromise, and the fact that this tacit understanding is destined to last for a short time and will eventually be fully exposed.

However, although this tacit understanding was not obvious to ordinary people, Emperor Charles of Britannia had already learned the truth about what happened that day through various channels.

He sat alone on the throne, his left fist pressed against his cheek, lost in thought.

So much had happened that day; he needed to sort it all out before deciding on his next course of action.

Although he had already made up his mind, it seemed a little difficult to actually carry out this decision.

"Charles, you called for me? Did the Chinese Empire release some results? Why didn't I receive any intelligence?"

VV entered through the main gate of the palace and walked to Charles's throne. His long golden hair was still stained with blood, which was still flowing down.

Looking at VV's calm demeanor, Charles knew very well that VV had indeed died again not long ago.

By now, VV's suicides have become a daily routine and a habit. Whenever things don't go her way, she dies once to clear her mind of her emotions. Charles finds this behavior utterly incomprehensible.

However, even if it's unreasonable, VV is his brother, and Charles still needs VV's strength.

"Brother, there are some documents here, you can take a look."

As he spoke, Charles handed a stack of paper documents to VV, who took them with her bloodied fingers, immediately leaving bloody handprints on the documents.

"It should have succeeded, right? Even if it hadn't, with Rollo's skills and Mao's abilities..."

VV's expression was initially calm, even somewhat expectant, as he awaited good news from the Chinese Empire and anticipated the death of Mo Mo, who had wronged him.

However, when VV first looked at the documents, he fell silent.

A visible surge of anger rose to his face, and veins throbbed on his tender cheeks. At that moment, he seemed to have transformed into a demon with the face of a child and the heart of an old man.

Hmm, it seems that's how it's supposed to be.

This qualification was obtained by Charles by mobilizing all his intelligence personnel in the Chinese Empire, and it roughly depicts the truth of the confrontation between Momo and the old emperor that day.

Of course, that's not all. As VV flipped through the documents, the battle damage information at the bottom left him dumbfounded.

If looking at the data above and seeing Rollo and his team's results made VV feel annoyed and angry, then the data below made VV's eyes widen completely.

"This is impossible! How could they attack my cult? My cult bases... are all destroyed!"

"They couldn't possibly break the deal, and are the Order's defense forces all idiots? Why would they let Momo and his men storm the Order and destroy it all!"

Charles frowned impatiently and said, "There's an analysis and report on that on the bottom page. Momo's side produced a super missile, launched from Luoyang in the Chinese Empire, which flew thousands of kilometers before accurately hitting the cult's base."
