Chapter 393 The Cleansing Begins
I've acquired one-tenth of the Steel Continent.
Furthermore, since they already knew the structure of the internal control center and how to gain control, taking over the other control centers would be much easier.
The general thought he could rest easy because he held the "key," but little did he know that someone else could directly control the "lock."
Bai Ze chuckled twice and ordered, "Show us the defense map of this area, as well as the general's past operation records."
Without any staff intervention, the screen in front of you automatically displays lines of data.
There are weapon deployments and military bases in Namba City and its surrounding areas, as well as various orders issued by the general in the past.
"Wow~ As expected, they have nuclear weapons." Bai Ze looked at one of the messages, showing no surprise.
Initially, the Eastern Xia Federation was forced by circumstances, and also had the factor of using Yingguo and Xilian as shields, so it allowed the Steel Continent to appear. However, considering the treacherous nature of these two countries, it made an agreement with Xilian not to deploy strategic weapons with huge destructive power.
Nuclear weapons are naturally included.
Looking back now, Dongxia's judgment of people was quite accurate; Xilian was indeed a terrible ditch.
They signed a contract but secretly deployed nuclear weapons. If they hadn't signed the contract, who knows what level of weapons they would have openly deployed.
As one of the few major economic cities in the 11th ward, Namba City has several nuclear warheads deployed in an underground base outside the city.
Furthermore, various weapons exist within the closed, restricted zones of Namba City. If necessary, some buildings in the city can be transformed into various artillery platforms.
And now, all of these are mine.
Bai Ze scanned the weapon deployment with great interest, then looked at the general's past operation records.
"As expected, there are preset instructions here to move the continent in an emergency and release the suppression of the spatial rift."
Bai Ze saw the expected information again.
It can only be said that the vice principal has a good eye for people. If the general is really pushed to the limit, he will indeed open the spatial rift.
"Sigh, for the sake of Dongxia, I have no choice but to suffer and work hard to gain control of the Steel Continent."
Bai Ze thought to himself with concern for the country and its people.
Moreover, once they take over the Steel Continent, they'll have a final layer of insurance, allowing them to act even bolder.
If the general can harvest these chives in Ying Kingdom, why can't I, Bai Ze, harvest them too?
"From now on, all orders from the general must be communicated to me. External communications will continue as usual, and the deaths of soldiers will be temporarily concealed to prevent others from discovering them," Bai Ze instructed.
He already knew that all the control bases were under martial law, troop rotations were temporarily suspended, and the machines and systems in the bases were under Bai Ze's control. As long as the people here didn't say anything, no one would know that people had died in the bases.
As for attacking other bases...
"We still need to make a big fuss. Even if I do it very discreetly, I still have to be careful to prevent accidents from happening and people from discovering that there are anomalies in various areas. And then there's the access control here..."
Thinking this through, Bai Ze gave the order: "Designate Douglas Neos as the second-highest authority holder, and make me, Bai Ze, the highest authority holder."
He removed the hood of his black robe, revealing his true face.
At the same time, a beam of light swept across Bai Ze's body, and the information on the screen changed.
[The highest level of privileges has been changed.]
[Salute to you, General Bai Ze.]
Well, now I'm a general too.
A thought flashed through Bai Ze's mind, and he asked, "Can we find out the military's progress in purging loyalists of the Respect for the King?"
"There are surveillance cameras both inside and outside the restricted area. We can check the situation in the surrounding area from here," someone reported.
The outskirts of Namba City.
The ground of a street slowly rose up to the left and right, revealing underground passages.
One by one, warriors wearing exoskeleton armor, armed with guns and weapons, entered in an orderly fashion.
Even after temporarily sealing off the city and its surrounding areas, the local military garrison in Namba still has a significant number of troops available. Because...
In addition to Western Union personnel, the garrison also recruits Japanese soldiers, and those who achieve sufficient military merit can even be directly transferred to Western Union.
The Japanese were extremely grateful for the general's kindness, and these soldiers were even more loyal to him than some of the Western Alliance soldiers.
"Even if it means using them as cannon fodder..."
Kamiizumi Muneshige stood atop a tall building, watching this scene, and murmured to himself.
"This is the general's art of conquest," a cheerful voice came from behind.
Kamiizumi Muneshige turned around coldly and saw a pale golden figure slowly descending. Then, the helmet on his head opened and retracted behind his head, revealing an Eastern face with gray hair.
Glion, a Western Union descendant of Eastern Xia, is an eight-star martial artist.
"Just like you?" Kamiizumi Muneshige sneered.
"I'm different from them. The Ge family was already a member of the Western Alliance long before the martial arts era arrived."
Glion smiled slightly, his elegant demeanor despite his battle armor, and said, "However, in terms of being conquered by the General, that's certainly true. If Mr. Kamiizumi has the opportunity, he should meet the General; I believe you'll feel the same way. It's a waste of your talent to remain in Japan as an Eight-Star."
The two sides met but did not immediately take action; in fact, Glion even considered inviting Kamiizumi Muneshige.
However, Kamiizumi Muneshige would never accept this favor.
"That's enough of the small talk," Kamiizumi Muneshige said, his words as sharp as knives, cutting off Gryphon's attempts to win him over. "The King's patriots do not intend to prevent the General from returning to the Western Alliance, but if you insist on taking action against the King's patriots, our blades are not incapable of being pointed at the General."
Through Naniwa Sojiro, the two sides had already reached a tacit agreement, but now it seems that this agreement is not stable.
It seems that Glion intends to completely wipe out the royalist patriots from the underworld of Namba City.
"But Abe no Nobuhiro is dead, killed by a loyalist who revered the emperor," Gryphon said calmly.
Kamiizumi Muneshige immediately replied, "That's not one of ours."
He killed Rudol, a seven-star warrior of the Western Alliance, in one move. If this were a member of the King's righteous faction, Kamiizumi Muneshige would be laughing in his dreams.
Moreover, Kamiizumi Muneshige never expected the assassination to succeed; he merely wanted his subordinates to vent their anger and, incidentally, weaken some die-hards to prevent them from doing anything unwise.
"If everyone thinks he is, then he is."
Glion said calmly, setting the tone.
But in the next instant, he changed his tone again, "However, we are not unreasonable people. The general's offense can only be washed away with blood, but it does not necessarily have to be the blood of those who uphold the monarchy. As for Mr. Kamiizumi's subordinates in Namba City, I only need the lives of half of them, and the rest can be taken by the other rats."
"Anyway, there's no shortage of people underground in Namba City."
Namba City's underground is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including homeless people, yakuza members, illegal immigrants, hitmen, and black market dealers.
Human lives are practically plentiful.
Half of the people...
It seems they already knew the number of people involved, and there may have been spies infiltrated among the loyalists.
Kamiizumi Muneshige's expression shifted, yet he also had a sense that he had expected this.
There's really no chance of winning against the Western Union.
"As for Mr. Shangquan, I don't think anyone would question his ability to hold off a Western Union major general," Glion said with a slight smile.
"Furthermore, I hope Mr. Kamiizumi will carefully consider my suggestion. After all, it's always good to have a backup plan, isn't it?"
