Chapter 959: America's Counterattack
Thomas and the Flame Baron were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was very dreary.
They had been silent for a long time, trying to digest the brutal fact that most of the troop line had been lost, especially since ten astrologers had been captured.
This time, led by the old families of America, Thomas came from the sidelines and borrowed a total of thirty astrologers from various allies in the Europa area. But after this battle, the losses were quite heavy.
Twenty routes were attacked at the same time, six astrologers were killed, ten astrologers were captured, and only four astrologers escaped. Counting the astrologers who were not attacked, there were only fourteen left, and more than half of them had been lost.
The special profession of astrologer is a specialty of the Europa region, and the number of people is quite scarce, otherwise the countries of the Europa region would not have come up with any agreement to strictly control the outflow of astrologers.
They don't even know what to do to compensate for the loss.
There aren't as many loyal allies in America as they used to be. The once loyal allies Ying Dao and Gallic Chicken all have different minds and are inseparable from the American appearance, especially Ying Dao, and the Queen of England even openly allied with Lu Yao.
Offending these loyal allies again, they didn't dare to imagine that scene.
'Gentlemen, this is not the end of the world. Thomas was the first to break the silence, his gaze sweeping over the Flame Baron and the others.
Everyone raised their heads, their eyes fixed on Thomas's face, their expressions blank, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. Everyone is the spokesperson of each family, and the city government still has this.
Thomas had obviously thought of a countermeasure, and said lightly: "I have to admit that this time it was my mistake." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the Flame Baron, looked relieved. Thomas took the initiative to take responsibility, and that was the best outcome for them. They have failed too many times, and many of them have been rebuked by their respective families, and the pressure is great.
However, Thomas's next words shocked them.
"In 1914, a small figure in Sarajevo publicly shot Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, triggering World War I. In 1939, the German Empire blitzed Poland, announcing the start of World War II. Thomas said calmly, ignoring everyone's gaze.
The Flame Baron and the others were inexplicably frightened.
None of them were stupid, and they could hear what Thomas was saying. On the surface, it seems that Thomas is talking nonsense without a head and brain, and he doesn't stick to the topic at all, if he is in the college entrance examination, he will have an absolute zero score. However, of course, what people want to express cannot be so superficial.
This is an attempt to provoke the rhythm of World War I in the virtual world.
Speaking of which, some people disagree. What does it have to do with what, it also has to do with it, it's all nonsense, and the brain hole is not ordinarily big.
However, this is not difficult to understand.
Just as before the outbreak of the First World War, the signs of war were already emerging. The Franco-German contradictions, the Russian-Austrian contradictions, and the Anglo-German contradictions have become prominent. In the Franco-Prussian War, the Gallic chickens were crushed by German tanks and were bullied very badly, so they learned from the pain and planned to fight back. However, the German tanks were very vigilant, and they were also fierce, and they resolutely did not want the Gallic chickens to fight back.
Thus began the arms race between the two sides. It's a pity that the territory of both countries is not large, especially the Gallic chicken lost in the Franco-Prussian War and had to cede the land and pay reparations for forgiveness. When the arms race began, it was immediately unbearable for both sides.
To put it simply, we are poor, and the internal pressure is so great, what should we do? Outside the robbery.
Russia, Austria, Britain and Germany are also similar, and in the end, everyone has a clear understanding, but it can't be done now, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and they can't bear it, so they have to transfer internal pressure.
And so the First World War broke out.
The same is true of the nature of World War II.
As early as 1922, in the global economic crisis, everyone suffered heavy losses and internal contradictions. So everyone has a good understanding of the internal pressure, and if they can't get the pills, they have to divert their internal attention.
And so World War II broke out.
In the final analysis, whether it was World War I or World War II, it was essentially a war launched by everyone in order to divert internal pressure.
Back to Baron Blaze and the others. They are also feeling the pressure now, both internally and externally. If this continues, everyone will be determined to take the pill, and they will be given up by their respective families, and they will have to be eaten as a rice worm and wait for death.
When you eat the rice worms waiting to die, or do you make a desperate bet and pull others into the water to fight for your life together?
The answer is self-explanatory.
Of course, if you want to die together, you can still survive and earn a chance to survive, and if you are lucky, maybe this is still a great opportunity to stabilize your position.
The Flame Baron was the first to digest this suggestion, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Where to start?" ”
The others' ears immediately pricked up, staring straight at Thomas. The next words are likely to decide everyone's fate. If Thomas comes up with an unbelievable goal, then everyone should go back to their own homes, find their own mothers, and honestly accept the arrangement of fate.
For example, Huaxia District.
Thomas said lightly: "Egypt." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately thought about it.
This goal is as nowhere to be found as antelope hanging horns, and it seems inconsequential on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you can't help but praise it. Egypt is a fitting target.
Who is everyone's nemesis? Zhu Ya.
Egypt is the territory of those oil tycoons. As we all know, those who don't have the ability to do anything else are rich. The real combat power is not worth a sigh, of course, this is before the dragon cannon was imported from Zhuya, at least the current people cannot be regarded as five scumbags, and the combat effectiveness can be at least ten.
But it doesn't matter.
A trench is a trench, and you can't become a god of war. Everyone was beaten by Lu Yao and lost their temper, but it was not easy to beat those oil tyrants. War, of course, the target is the weak chicken.
This is one of them.
Secondly, those oil tyrants are Lu Yao's allies, and this does not need to be determined again. In the brief encounter in the Strait of Malacca, the position of the oil tycoons has been revealed.
Once those oil tyrants are beaten, of course, they will either wave the cheque and fight again, or they can only ask for help. So it was logical to get involved with Lu Yao.
The Xanadu sailor rushed to help Egypt, of course everyone couldn't do it. But is this possible?
The answer, of course, is NO.
Nanyang has become Lu Yao's backyard, an important channel for obtaining resources. If there is chaos in the South Seas, will Lu Yao rush to the aid of those oil tyrants?
So through Lu Yao's line, Yingdao will join the war. British Island participated in the war, so can the matador who fought with British Island for Atlantic hegemony still endure it?
Whether it's Hideshima or the matador, they all have their own allies. As soon as the two sides went to war, more forces had to be involved, making the situation even more chaotic.
As soon as the situation is chaotic, everyone can fish in troubled waters and make up for the previous losses. Just like the historical America, if you don't start a war on our soil anyway, the final winner is still us.
