"My lord, we can't agree to Great Xia's request." Li Li said it categorically.

"What if Great Xia uses this as an excuse to start a war against us?"

Li Li took a deep breath, his eyes were firm, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "My lord, this battle has long been inevitable, since Great Xia wants to fight, let's fight!" ”

"Well said!"

Ruan Tianque said very simply, but a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Although war is inevitable after all, if Annan is caught in the flames of war because of his refusal, can domestic adventurers still support Haiphong City unconditionally?!

"I'm afraid that some people will have a grudge in their hearts!" Ruan Tianque smiled bitterly.

After making up his mind, Ruan Tianque immediately met with the envoys of Great Xia and rejected Great Xia's request for negotiation on the grounds that "this matter is an internal affair of Haiphong City, and Great Xia has no right to interfere".

…………

The hesitation of the Annan royal family, and Nguyen Tien Que's straightforward refusal, is undoubtedly a bad signal.

Daxia reported and then issued a more strongly worded letter of representation, claiming that Haiphong City had destroyed the global trade ecology and trampled on the free trade rules of the Beibu Gulf, and restricted Haiphong City to unconditionally release the forcibly seized caravan within a week, otherwise, in order to maintain the freedom of maritime trade, Daxia would not hesitate to meet each other.

As soon as the news came out, Annan players reacted differently.

There are those who are filled with righteous indignation, believing that Daxia's move is a provocation and contempt for Annan, and asks for a war; There are also those who blame Haiphong City, believing that Haiphong City should not be for its own selfish purpose and drag the whole of Annam into the quagmire of war.

Not everyone is eager for war, and not everyone wants to be the enemy of Great Xia.

Before the intent of the Great Xia War was revealed, many people in Annan's player community still had illusions of peace, which were not as thorough as Ruan Tianque's vision.

This is also human nature.

All of a sudden, the undercurrent in Annan District was surging, boiling and surging.

The diplomatic turmoil between Daxia and Annan also quickly spread around the world through the media.

…………

Handan City, the city lord's mansion.

Great Xia's every move affected Di Chen's nerves, and he naturally got the news as soon as possible.

"Looking at it this way, the old fox is determined to capture Annan."

The peerless Fenghua smiled, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, it is extremely rare for the old fox to endure it until now, this time it is not surprising, but the means are inferior." ”

Di Chen disagreed, "The means are just the means, there is no distinction between high and low, effective means are clever means, and the old fox still plays very beautifully." ”

"Puff~~"

The peerless elegance suddenly smiled, and it was charming.

"What are you laughing at?" Emperor Chen is inexplicable.

The peerless Fenghua glanced at Di Chen, and said lightly: "Have you noticed that the old fox's style of acting is becoming more and more similar to you, and he is very skilled in all kinds of means." ”

Di Chen was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh, "This is what worries me the most." ”

"A beast that only knows how to rampage is not enough to shake our foundations. But a beast standing at the same height as us is very worthy of vigilance. ”

“……”

The peerless elegance is silent.

Di Chen waved his hand, as if to dispel the heaviness in the air, and changed the topic with a smile, "Annan is a difficult bone to gnaw, since the old fox has made up his mind, our plan must also be implemented quickly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must not miss it." ”

"Don't worry, I'm always ready."

"That's good."

As the saying goes: the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

It is not easy to be a qualified fisherman, and many times you think you have won the battle, but in fact, you just fall into the trap that others have long designed and become the prey of others.

…………

Dawson Dynasty, Liberty City.

When Jack got the news, he immediately felt a trace of urgency, and muttered to himself: "That person is going to go to another city, I can't be too far behind, there are not so many lords in the north." ”

…………

Toei, Mikasa Castle.

Since the national war was set, Keisuke Honda, the lord of Mikasa Castle, has been paying attention to China.

Although I don't want to admit it, but driven by Daxia, the current China region is strong and scary, and it is the strongest war zone in the world.

Therefore, since January, the whole Dongying district has begun to actively prepare for the war.

If it was captured by China, it would undoubtedly be a great shame, and as the only lord of the Toei District, Keisuke Honda committed suicide by seppuku, which was not enough to atone for his sins.

For Dongying, this is already a last battle.

Hearing that Great Xia was going to war with Annan, Keisuke Honda was still a little happy, after all, this would greatly consume Great Xia's strength, which would be extremely beneficial to Dongying's national war.

Then there was unwarranted anger, "Bastard, you really don't take us seriously. ”

It can only be said that the minds and brain circuits of Dongying people are really different from ordinary people, this nation is extremely arrogant, and extremely inferior, the two personalities contradict each other, mixed together, and give birth to a perverted culture.

…………

ASEAN countries such as Chenla, Nanzhang, Java, and Luzon are also silently paying attention to this diplomatic turmoil.

State of Java.

Uace saw it clearly, "It's shameless! This matter was a conspiracy of Great Xia from beginning to end. ”

But so what?

Until the situation is clear, Uace will not be able to do anything.

A dark cloud that has obscured the sky has quietly covered the sky over ASEAN.

The storm is coming.

…………

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

In the face of Great Xia's tough wording, although many players ran to Haiphong City to petition and ask Ruan Tianque to release the caravan of the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce, Ruan Tianque was unmoved.

The scene was out of control for a while, and Ruan Tianque was disgraced.

Li Li has been cheering up Ruan Tianque, "When things come to this point, we can't retreat, we can only resort to war and turn domestic grievances and contradictions into unanimous external relations." ”

Ruan Tianque thought so.

In this way, when it came to the deadline given by Great Xia, Haiphong City's reply was still refusal.

Not only that, Ruan Tianque also directly beheaded the arrested Tongchun Chamber of Commerce personnel for public display, including Boss Chen's second son, all of whom were killed.

Ruan Tianque's move left no room for maneuvering.

"Leave to die and come back to life."

Otherwise, Nguyen feared that he would be pressured by all sides to make compromises.

This time, the envoy sent by Great Xia behaved very calmly, and after receiving a clear answer, he politely said goodbye and left, and the calm was terrifying.

…………

On April 1, Daxia officially declared war on Haiphong City on the grounds that the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce was seeking justice.

As soon as the news came out, it was like throwing a boulder on the calm surface of a lake.

Although everyone faintly felt the cloud of war, they didn't expect that Great Xia would be so neat.

"Domineering! It's as simple as that. ”

Players in China are excited, and they are happy for two reasons.

First, Great Xia's declaration of war on Haiphong City further confirmed that Great Xia was unwilling to take the initiative to provoke a civil war before the national war came, giving players in China a reassurance.

In the voting of the leaders of the national war, Ouyang Shuo was once again far ahead.

Second, once Great Xia wins Annan, it will definitely win the honor points of the national war again, which is undoubtedly a boost for the upcoming national war.

Soon after the global auction ended, Dongying District launched a vigorous fundraising campaign to make up for the funding gap in Keisuke Honda's auction of [National War Buff Cards].

As soon as the news came out, it naturally became known to the Chinese people.

During that time, there were many rumors in China, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Ouyang Shuo, Emperor Chen, and Phoenix Prisoner who participated in the auction, and some people even gave them the title of "traitor".

China has never lacked keyboard warriors, clamoring for patriotism, and if they really want to raise money from them, they are afraid that they will hide far away, and they shout: "Isn't Daxia rich in the world?" And to collect money from us, do you want to be ashamed? ”

The ugliness of human nature can be seen.

Fortunately, such clowns are not mainstream after all, and most Chinese players can still treat them sensibly.

Daxia won 30 national war honor points for China one after another, so that Ouyang Shuo was attacked a lot less, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of chaos would have happened.

Chinese gamers are excited, others don't.

…………

Annam District, Hai Phong City.

Nguyen Tien Que was very calm, and ordered the recall of the northern army as soon as Great Xia declared war.

Among the 300,000 troops in Haiphong City, in addition to the 20,000 guards guarding the main city, one of the remaining four field regiments was stationed in the southern embankment city and the other was stationed in Da Nang city on the north-south border.

The remaining two legions were all stationed in the north, which showed how deeply Ruan Tianque had a guard against Great Xia.

At the same time, Nguyen Tien Que also deployed the only naval division that could be used in the sea area around Haiphong City to lay the first defense chain.

As a coastal city, Haiphong City is most worried about an attack from the sea, but Great Xia is known for its strong navy, and Ruan Tianque can only fight against the water.

Some people in the Annan player community remained on the sidelines, while others began to prepare for the war.

After all, Daxia Yanming only wanted to teach Haiphong City a lesson, and he might not necessarily start a full-scale national war with Annan, so before the situation was clear, there were still some people who had a fluke mentality.

ASEAN countries are even more immobilized, and there is a silence.

…………

As soon as the war order was given, the Great Xia army, which had already been preparing for action, immediately took action.

The first to respond, naturally, was the Navy.

On 1 April, the Royal Fleet, led by the Royal Fleet, joined forces with the Yashan Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to set sail from Beihai Port, Yashan Port, Jiaozhou Port, and Xinglong Port respectively.

The combined fleet will converge in the Gulf of Tonkin.

For a time, the southwest coast was full of sails, intertwined with each other, and it was lively.

On the morning of 3 April, the Combined Fleet was assembled, and more than 280 capital warships and more than 1,000 auxiliary warships filled the Beibu Gulf as if it were covering the sky and the sun.

Snow-white sails that directly dye the blue sea white.

What's even more terrifying is that behind the Combined Fleet there are more than 800 large merchant ships, responsible for transporting supplies and army soldiers, and the scene was once so shocking that it exploded.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't feel this kind of oppression.

In front of such a fleet, anyone will be torn to shreds.

Great Xia has bared its fangs and rushed straight to Annan, and the great battle between the two sides will begin with a naval battle.
