Chapter 915 - 474: Destined to Be Remembered in History (Part 2)
The majesty was at a loss and looked to the chief minister for help: "Aleksey, what should we do?"
The chief minister did not speak, his mind starting to spin rapidly.
One of the ministers shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, the kingdom must immediately send troops to Eastern Bering!"
This proposal was immediately rejected.
"Mikhail, that is a completely bad idea! Now that there’s a global flood outbreak, Eastern Bering’s infrastructure is in terrible shape, everywhere is muddy, the kingdom’s army can’t even get through, and Little Ivan chose this moment to rebel, clearly having foreseen this."
Mikhail was still not convinced: "The kingdom can deploy the air force and launch missiles to conduct the fiercest bombing on the rebels!"
Opposition voices came again.
"If you can think of this idea, the rebels surely can too. If they dare to openly declare independence, they must have long been prepared. The kingdom’s fighters and bombers flying over are very likely to be shot down, and missiles could likely be intercepted."
Mikhail was not convinced: "How can we know it won’t work if we don’t try?"
The opponents argued forcefully: "The first battle to quell the rebellion must not fail, or it will only greatly boost the rebels’ morale, making the subsequent battles even harder."
Roman III could no longer stand it, frowning as he shouted: "Enough, all of you stop arguing!"
Everyone closed their mouths.
The chief minister finally spoke: "Your Majesty, Eastern Bering directly borders Great Xia, and the key to resolving the rebellion lies with Great Xia."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The meeting room fell silent.
Everyone present knew very well what a terrifying giant Great Xia was. The kingdom currently had no strength to challenge the Eastern Giant Dragon.
If Great Xia stood behind the rebels, the kingdom would have a hard time winning this war.
Roman III asked for guidance: "Aleksey, what should we do?"
The chief minister said in a deep voice: "The kingdom can clearly tell Great Xia that if the kingdom cannot reclaim Eastern Bering, then Great Xia cannot have it either."
Roman III seemed a bit confused: "I don’t quite understand what you mean."
The chief minister smiled somewhat grimly: "If Great Xia intervenes in the war, we will destroy everything in Eastern Bering with a Heping Bullet. Through this means, perhaps the kingdom can force Great Xia to back down."
To bomb their own territory with a Heping Bullet, it must be said that the Bering people were indeed unusually ruthless!
Roman III was dumbfounded.
Another minister interjected: "Chief sir, why doesn’t the kingdom use the Heping Bullet to threaten Great Xia?"
Someone immediately refuted: "The Carmenians also used the Heping Bullet to coerce Great Xia, but the Great xia People have the Lingxiao Hall celestial defense system. If a Heping Bullet war breaks out, Great Xia is likely to be the ultimate winner."
Someone else asked: "If the kingdom drops a Heping Bullet on Eastern Bering, would the Great xia People intercept it?"
As soon as this was said.
Everyone looked at the chief.
Because this question hit the key point.
The chief minister had prepared in advance and immediately responded: "We will not use missiles, nor aircraft, we will send a superpower user team to transport the Heping Bullet over. How can the Great xia People’s Lingxiao Hall intercept that?"
Roman III was convinced: "This is indeed a way!"
Quite a few ministers also nodded along.
The chief minister said loudly: "Your Majesty, the rebel leader’s strength is too strong, the kingdom is finding it difficult to implement a decapitation strike. To show Great Xia and the rebels the kingdom’s determination, I suggest detonating a Heping Bullet in Little Ivan’s hometown."
Roman III hesitated a bit.
After all, detonating a Heping Bullet is no small matter, doing so would not only tarnish the country’s reputation but also affect personal fame.
The chief minister, well aware of this majesty’s character, decisively said: "Then let’s decide by voting."
Roman III thought for a moment, sighed: "Let’s vote."
Soon.
The voting results came out - thirteen votes in favor, two against, five abstentions.
It passed!
The chief minister immediately smiled.
Roman III looked around, with an extremely solemn expression: "Everyone, starting now, to fight against the Eastern Evil Dragon, we must do our utmost to battle in defense of the kingdom!"

Great Xia.
Mo Bei Province.
Mr. Spirit Crows, embodied by Yang Fan, was not staying at the Spirit Crow’s Nest as usual, but appeared in the Tianhu Basin.
In the vast Desert North Plateau, the Tianhu Basin is the largest basin, nestled among several mountain ranges, with a total area of over 180,000 square kilometers.
Before the Age of Calamity, Mo Bei Province had always been rather water-scarce, yet the Tianhu Basin still had some small and large lakes.
Before the outbreak of the flood disaster, Great Xia had planned ahead and built a large number of water diversion channels around the Tianhu Basin.
Now, with the temperature on Canglan Star suddenly warming overnight, glaciers and snows on the Desert North Plateau are rapidly melting, flowing along the diversion channels into the Tianhu Basin from all directions.
At this moment.
Standing atop a huge rock, Yang Fan looked afar and saw the majestic scene of vast waters touching the sky.
The female secretary, Su Yuxuan, smiled and said: "According to estimates, after this great flood is over, the Tianhu Basin will become a gigantic lake with a water surface area of at least 120,000 square kilometers.
"For years, Mo Bei Province has been plagued by drought, but with this super lake, the Desert North Plateau will be revitalized.
"With sufficient water resources, we can transform the desert, and Mo Bei Province can accommodate more population."
Yang Fan nodded: "Currently, the population of Mo Bei Province is indeed a bit too low."
The total area of Mo Bei Province exceeds 2 million square kilometers, but now the population is just over 6 million, truly vast and sparsely populated.
