I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 174 Before the Battle of Shencheng

As the entire Dongyang Kingdom took action, spies lurking in the Dazhou Kingdom also began to act.

These spies included not only Dongyang people, but also a large number of traitors.

Their mission is to find the transit station from Jinling City to Shencheng. If they cannot find this transit station, it will become extremely difficult for the fighter jets from Jinling City to support Shencheng.

After all, after these two types of fighter jets fly to Shencheng, their fuel will run out and they will not be able to continue fighting.

In the mountains between Jinling City and Shen City, there is a deeply hidden military base.

The base is heavily guarded, with various defense facilities and surveillance equipment deployed around it.

In addition, there are more than two dozen fighter jets parked here and a large amount of fuel is stored.

It can be said that this is an important transit station between Jinling City and Shencheng.

After a long search, the spies of Dongyang State finally discovered this hidden military base.

They hid quietly in the dark and carefully observed the situation inside the base with binoculars.

One of the spies said excitedly: "Yoshi, it looks like this is the transit station we are looking for!"

"Send a message to the headquarters immediately and tell them that we have found the target!"

"Hi!" Another spy quickly picked up the radio transmitter and passed the good news to the Dongyang Kingdom headquarters.

As the telegram was sent, this key information was quickly transmitted back to the command center of Dongyang State.

When the generals of Dongyang State heard the news, they were secretly delighted.

Now, as long as this transit station is destroyed, the fighter jets in Jinling City will lose their supplies.

This would weaken the Dazhou Kingdom's air power in Shencheng.

The scene came to Yanwu Palace in Fenglin City of Yan Country. Intelligence Minister Zhu Qian came with a secret message that the intelligence department had deciphered to report: "Your Majesty!"

"According to the secret message deciphered by the intelligence department, Dongyang Country may launch an attack on Shencheng of Dazhou Country in the near future."

Qin Ruihua sat in a chair, holding the armrests with both hands. He was not surprised by the movements of Dongyang State.

Because Dongyang State has always been eyeing Dazhou State and trying to expand its sphere of influence.

However, he still frowned slightly, because the target of this attack was Shencheng of Dazhou State, which meant that the war was about to escalate.

Qin Ruihua was silent for a moment and then said, "Well, I understand. I will remind the Great State and ask them to be prepared."

He was well aware that the Great State was relatively weak and that without adequate warning and preparation, it would likely suffer heavy losses.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Minister of Intelligence replied, then quickly turned and left.

He understood that time was running out and the message had to be delivered to the Great State as soon as possible.

Xu Ling, the Yan State's ambassador to Dazhou State, also learned the news.

He realized the urgency of the situation and immediately contacted the Vice President of the Great State.

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ambassador Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Ling said in a serious tone: "Mr. Vice President, we have just received intelligence that Dongyang may launch an attack on your city of Shen. Please be prepared."

The vice president of Dazhou State's face changed drastically after hearing this. He asked nervously, "Are you sure this news is reliable?"

Xu Ling answered affirmatively: "Yes, this is the secret message cracked by our intelligence department, it should be correct."

The Vice President of the Great State expressed his gratitude and hung up the phone. He hurriedly contacted the President to discuss countermeasures.

President Yueyang Yun looked at the Vice President who came hurriedly and asked, "Old Wen, what's the matter that has you in such a hurry?"

"Can't you just call me and tell me? Why do you have to come here in person?"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang responded with a serious face: "It's hard to explain this matter over the phone in a short time."

"We just received a notification from Yan Country. They told us that Dongyang Country is likely to launch an attack on Shencheng in the near future. Please make corresponding preparations."

Hearing this news, President Yue Yangyun frowned and asked in confusion: "Oh? Is this true?"

"But why hasn't our intelligence department received any news about this?"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang sighed and explained, "It should be true, but as to why the intelligence department did not get any news about this."

"I think it may be because our equipment is too backward to decipher or intercept these encrypted telegrams."

President Yueyang Yun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Old Wen, do you have any specific plans and countermeasures?"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang thought for a moment and replied, "I personally think that if Dongyang State really wants to attack Shencheng, then we'd better choose to give up this city on our own initiative."

"After all, this invasion by Dongyang may mean that they are about to launch a full-scale invasion, and Dongyang's joint fleet may devote most of its main battleships to this war."

"In comparison, our navy is very weak and cannot compete with them at all."

"So, if Dongyang Kingdom really launches a full-scale war, I suggest that we simply abandon all coastal cities."

"Doing so can prevent further casualties and property damage, while also buying us time to reorganize our defenses."

"Of course, this is just my initial thought and needs further research and discussion."

President Yueyang Yun refused: "Absolutely not! Our country's economic lifeline is almost all concentrated in coastal cities."

"If we easily abandon Shanghai and all the coastal cities, how will other countries view us?"

"That's impossible! Last time we were able to fight the Dongyang Kingdom on equal terms, so why can't we do that this time?"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang countered: "The situation this time is completely different from the last time."

"This time, Dongyang Country has made full preparations."

"We should move the battlefield inland and relocate industrial facilities in coastal cities."

President Yueyang Yun slammed the table excitedly and said, "No! We must fight Dongyang Kingdom to the end!"

"If we give up so easily, how will our countrymen view us? Maybe we can even get assistance from other countries!"

Vice President Wen Qingxiang calmly analyzed: "Nowadays, other countries are too busy taking care of themselves to pay attention to us."

"The United States has always upheld the attitude of 'it's none of my business, stay out of it'; while the United States of Yan puts its own interests first."

"The situation in Europe is also confusing and no one is willing to help us."

“So, we can only rely on ourselves.”
