Chapter 2037 The calm before the storm

China, the capital, this ancient and prosperous city, is now shrouded in a strange tranquility. It should have been the busiest time in the evening, with cars and people coming and going on the streets, but now it seems unusually deserted. There are obviously fewer cars, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets, as if the whole city is shrouded by an invisible pressure.

Just yesterday, a live broadcast that shocked the world completely changed the entire Blue Planet. After that live broadcast, the Chinese government formally announced a war with the United States in a decisive manner. This decision was like a heavy bomb, causing an uproar in the international community.

As soon as the news came out, major media around the world focused on it, and all kinds of speculation and analysis flooded in. People had different opinions on the cause, scale, and possible impact of this war. In China, the people were also in shock and panic.

The reason for China's declaration of war was even more shocking - the US Congress actually attempted to illegally imprison China's diplomatic officials! This was undoubtedly a serious provocation to a sovereign country, and the Chinese government naturally could not tolerate such behavior.

However, there is also a saying that has been circulating among the people. Some people believe that even if the United States did not take this extreme action, this war would eventually be unavoidable. After all, in recent years, China seems to have taken some kind of drug, changing its past path of moderation and becoming extremely radical, determined to put the United States alliance to death.

"Is it really that serious?"

Liu Xinghua looked at Ye Ye with a serious expression, as if he found it hard to believe what he said.

Ye Ye nodded seriously and answered in a firm tone.

"It's true, and the situation is worse than we thought. We must capture the United States as quickly as possible and quickly unify the Blue Planet. Olmid and Milton definitely have a backup plan, but judging from the current lack of reaction from the other party, it is obviously not the time for them to take action yet."

Liu Xinghua frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I understand. This matter is indeed urgent."

At this time, they were in a room in Xiaonanhai, which was decorated simply and elegantly. Ye Ye sat on the sofa opposite Liu Xinghua, and the atmosphere between them was extremely solemn.

Su Yan was an absolute action man. After making sure there were no more threats around, he did not hesitate to take Ye Ye and others back to the capital. Ye Ye did not delay at all, because he knew that the war was about to start and time was life. He had to find Liu Xinghua as soon as possible and share the important intelligence he analyzed with him in order to formulate a more complete strategic plan.

"What do other allies in the US alliance say?"

Ye Ye suddenly asked with some curiosity.

Liu Xinghua took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"The speed at which Sakura Country surrendered was beyond imagination. Before our troops even landed on their island, they couldn't wait to send people to ask for peace. Not only did they express their willingness to bear all compensation responsibilities, they also claimed that as long as the outbreak of war could be avoided, any conditions would be acceptable. What's even more shocking is that the emperor of Sakura Country chose to commit suicide last night. Now the country is ruled by leftists."

Hearing this, Ye Ye couldn't help but nodded, feeling a little surprised at the quick response of Sakura Country.

Liu Xinghua continued.

"The attitudes of the Korean, Kangaroo, Maple Leaf and Indian countries have also wavered to varying degrees. However, as far as I know, Milton must have made some kind of promise to them, which allowed these countries to temporarily retain their confidence. But judging from the current situation, a large-scale war seems to be inevitable."

Ye Ye frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Liu Xinghua continued to report.

"However, there are also some countries that have expressed clear support for us. For example, Germany, Ancient Greece, and Kamikaze, they have all publicly declared that they will provide assistance for all our military operations."

Ye Ye's expression eased a little. He knew that the support of these countries was crucial to the future development of the situation.

"We should be able to see the result within three days."

Liu Xinghua concluded.

Liu Xinghua seemed to have lost all his strength, and he slumped down in his chair. He slowly raised his hand and rubbed his temple, which was a little swollen and painful due to overwork. However, despite his physical exhaustion, his eyes were shining with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"Sweep the world and sweep across the wasteland..."

Liu Xinghua whispered these words softly, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world. In the past, even the wise and capable former emperor of China had failed to achieve such a feat. But now, this seemingly unattainable goal is very likely to become a reality in the hands of Liu Xinghua.

At this moment, Ye Ye noticed the expression on Liu Xinghua's face and couldn't help but remind him.

"We can't let our guard down."

Liu Xinghua nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Ye Ye meant. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said,

"I have asked the emergency security department to activate the highest alert, and a large number of people have been safely relocated to safe houses. In addition, the defense of the border and airspace has also been put into the highest state."

After hearing this, Ye Ye was slightly relieved, but his brows were still furrowed, and he seemed a little worried. He was silent for a moment, and finally said.

"Now, all we can do is wait... I wonder what kind of 'surprise' Olmide will bring us."

Ye Ye sighed deeply, as if the burden in his heart was lightened a little with this sigh. However, he knew very well that he was not sure about what he would face next.

Just when Ye Ye felt a little helpless, suddenly, an illusory image appeared in front of his eyes. This phantom was like a ghost, looming, but Ye Ye could clearly see what it showed - the system's prop warehouse.

In the prop warehouse, there were all kinds of mysterious items, dazzling. However, Ye Ye's eyes were firmly attracted by one of the items - the enhanced version of the full strength experience card.

This card lay quietly in a corner of the warehouse, emitting a faint light, as if waiting for Ye Ye to discover its existence. Looking at this card, Ye Ye's uneasiness was slightly relieved.

With this enhanced version of the full strength experience card, Ye Ye at least has a glimmer of hope. It is undoubtedly an important bargaining chip, giving Ye Ye more confidence when facing unknown challenges.

At this moment, although the surface of the Morning Star seemed calm, there was actually an undercurrent quietly surging.

In a luxuriously decorated room, a woman with elegant temperament was sitting on the sofa, her beauty was as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky. This woman was the eldest daughter of the Ning family.

Suddenly, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and a man in a black Zhongshan suit walked in quickly, his steps seemed a little hurried.

"Miss, this is the latest survey information."

The man walked up to the woman and respectfully handed her a document.

The woman took the document, flipped through it casually, then raised her head, looked at the man sharply, and asked.

"This man's name is Wang Yi. He appears regularly on the street near our main residence every morning, noon and evening. What's going on?"

The man quickly explained,

"Miss, we have noticed this person. His behavior is very suspicious. We suspect he might be a spy sent by a hostile force, so we have included him in the investigation list and we can arrest and interrogate him at any time."

The woman nodded slightly, indicating her approval of the man's approach. Then, she turned to the next page of the document, frowning slightly.

"Also, new faces have appeared at our four farms in the suburbs. It seems that someone is secretly investigating us. What do you think we should do?"

There was a hint of worry in the man's voice.

Yancheng, the capital of the Morning Star China, is so vast that it is beyond imagination. In this huge city, in addition to the Guangming District, which is located in the core area and symbolizes the supreme power of China, there is also a famous area - the Ningfu District where the Ning family is located.

Compared to the vast area of ​​Guangming District, Ningfu District is relatively small. However, this area has attracted much attention due to its unique nature. It is like a bright pearl, inlaid in the center of Yancheng, and this land is full of Ning family members and their industries. Rather than saying it is an ordinary administrative district, it is better to say that it is a regionalized presentation of the Ning family's own territory.

In the center of Ningfu District stands the Ning family's mansion, which is like an ancient castle, exuding the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history. In sharp contrast to the modern buildings full of technology in Guangming District or other areas of Yancheng, Ningfu District is filled with an atmosphere of returning to nature. The architectural style here is antique, and traditional ancient buildings can be seen everywhere, as if time has gone back, making people feel like they are in the ancient world. Even the tallest building is only ten stories high, which contrasts with the surrounding ancient buildings, making it more simple and elegant.

"Don't be suspicious. Our Ning family is big and powerful. There are tens of thousands of people watching us. Just send them away and don't make things more complicated."

The eldest daughter of the Ning family said with an impatient look on her face, as if she was used to this kind of thing.

"Yes!"

The servant responded tremblingly, then half-bent his waist as if he had been pardoned, not daring to raise his head, and retreated to the rear like a frightened rabbit.

However, as soon as the servant left, the eldest daughter of the Ning family suddenly stood up and walked straight to the side hall.

The maids on both sides were shocked when they saw this. They quickly stretched out their hands to help their young lady to prevent her from falling. However, this action made the young lady of the Ning family very angry.

"What are you helping me with? Am I disabled?!"

Her eyes widened in anger, and she shouted sharply. The two maids were frightened by her shout and trembled all over. They quickly knelt on the ground, pressed their foreheads against the ground, and kept begging for mercy.

The young lady just sighed helplessly, then shook her head slowly and walked towards the side hall.

The layout of the side hall makes people feel particularly warm. Various furniture made of rare woods are placed around it, exuding a faint wood fragrance. In the center of the room, there is an exaggeratedly large bed, which can accommodate seven or eight people lying on it at the same time. This big bed looks very soft and comfortable, making people want to lie on it and have a good rest.

At this moment, there was a person sitting beside the big bed. She was Wu Yuan, who had met Elodie and Leon several times. Wu Yuan was half leaning on the head of the bed, leaning forward slightly, and concentrating on teasing a baby on the bed. The baby was only about one year old and looked very cute, with a round little face and big watery eyes, which made people love him at first sight.

When she heard a slight noise coming from the door, Wu Yuan turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on the woman at the door. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and spoke softly.

"You're here? Is it because of family matters again?"

"Don't even mention it! I don't know where all those old guys in the clan have gone. They actually left the entire Ning family to me alone to manage. This is not a job for a human being! I think sooner or later I won't be able to bear it anymore and will just sell all the family property and leave it all to my son!"

The woman looked indignant and seemed very dissatisfied with the current situation.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, don't forget that you still have a daughter! How can you be so partial and give everything to your son?"

Wu Yuan teased with a smile.

"Tsk, you're right!"

The woman seemed to react suddenly.

"That's it, all this property will be given to my precious daughter! Anyway, her brother is like a Pixiu, he is very good at making money."

After the two of them exchanged a few simple jokes, the eldest daughter of the Ning family sat down on the soft couch and looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Looking at the pink little face and the slightly trembling eyelashes, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face involuntarily.

However, in the short time that the two were chatting, the child had actually fallen asleep quietly.

"Your Qian Ning is so pretty. She really has inherited the good genes from her parents. Speaking of which, your son should be quite handsome too."

Wu Yuan looked at the sleeping baby on the bed, a look of maternal concern on her face, and then she spoke.

"That boy? He looks okay, but his personality is rather dull. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to find a girlfriend."

"When we get back, I'll introduce my daughter to your son. Maybe they can get along well!"

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll have to prepare the betrothal gifts carefully when the time comes."

In an instant, laughter rang out in the room, but there was some bitterness in the laughter. Wu Yuan looked at the baby on the bed with a lonely look in her eyes.

When she left Blue Star, her child was only this big.

Going back is even more distant.
