Everyone understood.
Upon careful reflection, it indeed appears to be the case.
Whether Bai Xiang Village lost its mind or consumed too much divine medicine from the god cattle, that is irrelevant.
What is important now is that Bai Xiang Village has clashed with Xiao Bai Village!
Although Bai Xiang Village is currently at a disadvantage, it still possesses mushrooms and therefore cannot possibly suffer a complete defeat.
Similarly, Xiao Bai Village also has mushrooms, and it is also impossible for them to suffer a complete defeat.
In this case, both parties will inevitably fall into a long-drawn-out tug-of-war!
And Xiao Bai Village's foundation is clearly not as strong as Bai Xiang Village's.
Once caught in a tug-of-war, Xiao Bai Village will inevitably head downhill.
At that time, they will certainly need external help, and who on the Blue Star can assist Xiao Bai Village now?
Obvious!
Once Long Village steps in to help, they will be able to drag Long Village into the water as well!
Long Village can no longer stand idly by and watch it slowly develop...
"So it seems that we should also be grateful to Bai Xiang Village..."
Glancing at each other, the round table members saw a hint of malice in each other's eyes.
Amidst so much bad news, at least there is one piece of good news.
The instigator of all this trouble has finally been dragged into the mudslide!
As Long Village put it, what does that mean?
This is called "outer Ruiguode"!
One word — marvelous!
"Gentlemen, do you think we should do something?"
After laughing for a moment, Yalst slowly opened his mouth and said.
Upon hearing this, the others pondered for a moment before saying:
"I think it's unnecessary. Our core issue is on the other side of the desert. The squid village has no hostages, and their situation is critical. If we don't help them, they will be pushed off the sea to become a fact!"
"We must now concentrate all our efforts on dealing with the situation in the desert. There's no extra strength to intervene in Bai Xiang Village..."
"Also, we have already given Bai Xiang Village enough benefits. It's now time for them to show their worth. Since they have taken the initiative and have suffered losses, unless they are willing to become a turtle and swallow this loss, they will have no other choice but to face Xiao Bai Village head-on..."
"They have no choice!"
After hearing what everyone said, Yalst nodded slightly.
He also accepted the views of the others.
Indeed, there's no need to pay attention to Bai Xiang Village anymore.
In the end, their relationship with Bai Xiang Village is nothing more than that of pawns and masters.
Now that the pawn has entered the game, the rest no longer matters..."
But at this moment, a voice suddenly echoed:
"Gentlemen, I believe we should not allow Bai Xiang Village and Xiao Bai Village's matters to escalate!"
The sudden voice caused everyone to pause, instinctively turning their gaze towards the source of the words.
Under the gaze of everyone, the speaker continued:
"Bai Xiang Village has suffered a setback, but precisely because of this, we are even more in need of assisting Bai Xiang Village. After all, what we want is not just for Bai Xiang Village and Xiao Bai Village to engage in conflict. The most important thing is to maximize the blockade of Long Village's support for the desert!"
"If Bai Xiang Village continues to be pressed down by Xiao Bai Village, then perhaps it won't be so easy to block Long Village's support for the desert..."
Upon hearing this, the crowd furrowed their brows.
After a long time, one of the round table members spoke slowly: "Mr. Kate, so what do you mean?"
"Our core focus is indeed on the desert, and we don't have enough armed forces to intervene in Bai Xiang Village. However, we can still provide help to Bai Xiang Village from other angles, such as their resources, or perhaps blocking Xiao Bai Village's resources..."
"War is not just about fighting head-on, you die I live, but also about logistics and resupply!"
"Now, the world's strategic resources such as rubber, iron ore, and so on are mostly still in our hands. If we continuously provide Bai Xiang Village with resources like steel, oil, and rubber, Bai Xiang Village can keep fighting indefinitely!"
"On the contrary, if Xiao Bai Village lacks sufficient resources, they will only weaken further. Even with Long Village's help behind them, Long Village itself is a village that is extremely short on strategic resources such as oil, iron ore, and rubber. Of course, Xiao Bai Village can get oil from camels, but the camels have only oil. In this case, even if Long Village helps Xiao Bai Village, how long can they be helped?"
"Even more so, the more they help Xiao Bai Village, the greater benefits it brings to us. We can take this opportunity to make Xiao Bai Village a vampire on Long Village, let alone siphon dry Long Village, at least make them unable to attend to anything else!"
Upon hearing what Kate said, the eyes of the others twinkled slightly.
After a moment, another voice quietly echoed: "I agree with Mr. Kate's proposal to blockade Xiao Bai Village's resources and provide resources to Bai Xiang Village. This is indeed a good idea!"
Just as the voice fell, another voice also sounded out:
"Indeed, I also agree with Mr. Kate's proposal. Even more so, we can take this opportunity to replicate the rise of our S2 period. Provide resources to Bai Xiang Village and then use their wealth to benefit ourselves..."
In simpler terms, it's like making money from war!
Upon hearing this, everyone's heart was stirred.
Making money from war?
They're familiar with this!
They've done it not only in S2, but also in S1. Even in the following decades after S2, they've continued to do so!
They go to stir up conflicts in regions without any.
It's even better in regions with conflicts. They deepen the conflicts directly, and then wildly trade arms and resources to make money from war!"
This can be said to be their forte!
"I agree, I support Mr. Kate and Mr. Ferod's proposal!"
"Second the motion!"
"Second the motion!"
"..."
After a brief pause, almost everyone unanimously approved of Kate's proposal.
Such a thing, which involves direct benefits, can weaken Long Village while strengthening themselves, achieving many benefits at once. How could they not pass it?
After passing the proposal on Bai Xiang Village's side, Yalst looked around at the others and then said:
"Let's deal with Bai Xiang Village first. Now, let's talk about the situation in the desert. The situation there is serious. What do you all think we should do now? Is there still a need to provide support and retain the squid village?"
"Squid Village..."
Upon hearing Yalst's words, everyone looked at each other and then fell into silence.
Not knowing how long had passed, a voice finally echoed again:
"I think now is our opportunity!"
Following the direction of the voice, the speaker was a round table member from the squid race.
Under the gaze of everyone, the squid round table member spoke slowly:
"Now that Bai Xiang Village has attacked Xiao Bai Village and caused a certain degree of damage to their transportation line, Long Village's support for the camels will inevitably decrease greatly!"
"More importantly, as long as we execute the plan we just discussed, Long Village will find it difficult to spare the energy to support the camels in the near future..."
"And during this time, the camels' offensive has been almost at any cost, with each attack being a maximum saturation strike! Even if they still have some ammunition reserves, they can't be too much. Taking this opportunity, we can give it our all and have a great chance to regain a foothold in the desert..."
Upon hearing this, Yalst looked at the other party and then turned his gaze to the remaining round table members, saying in a serious tone:
"What do you all think?"
Faced with the question, the others pondered for a moment before slowly opening their mouths to say:
"I think so. The fundamental reason why we cannot enter the desert is Long Village, and as for the camels themselves, they are not worth considering! Now that Long Village will be occupied by Xiao Bai Village, this is our best opportunity!"
"That's right. Without Long Village's support, the camels are just a bunch of native scum. Our current strength, although not yet consolidated to the expected state, is sufficient to deal with a camel without support!"
"Yes, I also agree with attacking the camels directly now. Our stealth fighter jets have arrived at Husky Village and are ready to provide front-line support at any time. Moreover, all of our submarines in the desert have been deployed, and we can use the submarine-launched cruise missiles on them to destroy all of the camels' oil fields and further destroy their war supply capabilities!"
"Second the motion! Although the camels' drones are formidable, they can't reach our submarines. Our submarines can quietly sneak into their territory and use cruise missiles to destroy their important facilities, destroying them once they rebuild. By then, we won't just be striking at the camels; we'll also be blocking their resource supplies to both Long Village and Xiao Bai Village!"
Simply put, it's another thing that benefits greatly!
With time passing, one voice after another sounded out.
Initially, it was just the round table members of the squid race proposing direct action. Later on, even more than half of the remaining round table members agreed with the proposal for direct action.
Although they are not squid race members, after all, the desert is related to their vital interests!
It was because there seemed to be no hope that they wanted to give up on the desert and give up on the squid village.
Now that there is an opportunity to return to the desert, why would they want to give up?
If they can regain control of the desert, not only will they be able to recover everything lost, but they will also have the opportunity to go further!
To show the world the powerful foundation and strength of their Black and White Eagle Village!
They are the number one village on Blue Star!
The unchallenged king of Blue Star!
No one can shake them!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of Blue Star, amidst its tumultuous and complex political landscape, was Long Village—
"Report! The Wolf Tooth Detachment is supposed to have 40 members, with 40 actually present, no casualties, and the mission has been completed successfully. Please instruct the commander!"
In a hidden base, Gray Wolf led 39 members of the team, standing tall and straight on the training field before General Jo Zhenhai, reporting their mission completion.
"Well done! Excellent! Very good!"
Looking at the group of Wolf Tooth Detachment members in front of him, who were somewhat tired but still handsome and vigorous, General Jo Zhenhai's expression of satisfaction was completely unhidden.
The Wolf Tooth Detachment is the elite of their army!
In the past, the Wolf Tooth Detachment has executed countless missions.
But basically, every mission they have carried out has resulted in varying degrees of casualties.
After all, no matter how elite they are, the people of Wolf Tooth are still flesh and blood!
The missions they execute are largely the most dangerous ones!
For instance, in this case, without the existence of power armor, such a mission would have been completely a one-way trip, with a 100% fatality rate!
Even the most elite forces cannot withstand gunfire and explosions!
Now, the mission that would have resulted in certain death, has been successfully completed by the Wolf Tooth Detachment!
And it's even more remarkable that they've completed it without any casualties, a first in their history!
This would naturally make General Jo Zhenhai delighted!
He was not only happy because the mission was completed successfully, but also because all his people were safe and sound!
The members of the Wolf Tooth are the elite, chosen from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in their army!
Every single one is a precious gem!
Losing any one of them can cause their army great pain for a long time.
More importantly, each of these people represents a family, a pillar of their respective households!
If any one of them doesn't come back, it would be like the sky falling down for a family!
Now that everyone has returned safely, this is undoubtedly the best possible outcome!
"Power armor..."
In excitement, General Jo Zhenhai looked at the power armor that Gray Wolf and the others were wearing, his eyes burning with desire.
Even though he had known about the strength of power armor for a long time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the Wolf Tooth Detachment to execute a mission with a 100% fatality rate.
But until he personally knew, this is the first time he has seen the real combat results!
The Wolf Tooth Detachment's combat experience told him that these power armors are even stronger than he had previously anticipated!
"Old Jo, we've really struck gold this time..."
Another white-haired old man at Joe Zhenhai's side couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, we've struck gold! We've truly struck gold!"
General Jo Zhenhai's eyes were gleaming with intensity.
If these power armors were exposed, they would be coveted by the entire world!
Of course, Joe Zhenhai's thoughts at the moment extended far beyond the power armor in front of him.
More so than the power armor itself, it was the shadow behind it.
That is their village's most precious treasure!
The pillar and beam of the village!
The son-in-law of his own grand-daughter!
Thinking of Su Heng's identity, Joe Zhenhai couldn't help but smile.
What does it mean to strike gold?
This is it!
Then, whenever he and his old comrades brag, they can just say one sentence: "Su Heng is my son-in-law!"
That will surely shut everyone up!
— Seen that? That's Su Heng! The village's treasure of Long Village! My son-in-law, Old Joe!
——Hey Lao Qian? How do you know Xiao Su is my son-in-law?
— Hey Lao Qin? I have a secret, Xiao Su is my son-in-law...
— Ah? Didn't I tell you that Xiao Su is my son-in-law?
— What's my son-in-law? You know the village's treasure, Xiao Su! That's right, it's him!
……
General Joe Zhenhai had even thought of the countless boasts he would make about his son-in-law in front of his old friends after he retired!
"Gotten a treasure, really got a treasure... oh my!"
Thinking of the future, Joe Zhenhai's mouth widened all the way to his earlobes.
"This old guy, he's a real pain in the ass!"
Looking at Joe Zhenhai's uncontrollable smile, even harder than an AK47, behind him, people like Qian Zhizhong and Qin Shan who followed him couldn't help but grind their teeth.
They were old war comrades and brothers who had shared life and death together, no question about it. They would have never hesitated to take a bullet for their brother in the battlefield.
But as brothers, that doesn't mean everything is the same.
What makes you, an old man, get such a precious gem?
What about the promise of sharing the same hardships and prosperity as brothers?
You're going solo, are you?
