Should we join forces with the people of the South China Sea to stop those who plunder the people?

"The South China Sea people and the Madman tribe are old enemies. After invading most of the mountainous areas, we will inevitably have to fight the Madman in the future. Technology is a minor matter; if it is leaked, so be it. Coordination on the main battlefield is the major issue."

Because of hydrogen fuel cell technology, Salingtian is currently under investigation by the South China Sea City-State.

However, they couldn't find any evidence.

Even Sa Lingtian himself didn't believe that the desert people could steal the core technology of the South China Sea.

This is a military aircraft!

How could the desert people possibly obtain it so easily?

Although their explanations were full of loopholes, they were not unacceptable.

In order to form a united front, we have no choice but to accept it.

Li Xin, who had been reinstated as Minister of the Army, suddenly spoke up: "They have hidden several superhumans in the Wolf Den. The current chief of the Madman Tribe is a great superhuman with great strength, even stronger than the Pope of the Sun God Cult. We hope to get help from the Mobile Team and the Special Operations Team to deal with their psionicists."

Everyone turned to look at Qin Che.

A Great Transcendent?

And he's even stronger than that Pope?

The cabinet elders may not be aware of this, but the deputy cabinet members have witnessed the war firsthand.

The process of hunting down the two extraordinary beings, the King and the White Wolf, was extremely dangerous.

Later war records revealed that only a small number of people knew about this.

If they had been even slightly careless during the battle, Qin Gong and Minister Li might not have made it back.

However, during this period, the military gradually made those war record manuals available to the public.

More people learned that the clandestine battles between superhumans were no less peaceful than those on the front lines, and were even more intense.

"We'll discuss that later. The psionic war is no longer within the scope of the cabinet's discussions. You and I will make the final decision." Qin Che pointed to the two of them, and Li Xin indicated that he understood.

"How is the eldest prince now?" someone in the cabinet asked, raising their hand.

Qin Che replied, "He has already completed the investigation. The South Sea people can't touch him for the time being. Sa Lingtian has the resources and connections of the Rock Clan and can bring some helpers to the South Sea City-State. He is very useful, and the South Sea people can't do anything to him."

Sa Lingtian was very clever; he left himself a way out in the South China Sea.

The Rock Clan in Southeast Asia had a good relationship with his company and caravans, and knew many big bosses who were willing to help him make a fortune from the war.

Although the people of the South China Sea were dismissive, they still accepted Sa Lingtian's proposal.

The Rock Clan possesses considerable military strength and has been patrolling the seas for years, maintaining good trade relations with the South Sea City-States.

Qin Che didn't know much about them, except for their 'natural characteristics'.

This characteristic is related to psionic energy, but it is unknown how it occurs.

In short, all those rock-type humans had stone skin, and their physiological state was different from that of normal carbon-based humans.

Those with a high degree of petrification will join the army. Even if their limbs are blown off by artillery shells, they will not die from excessive bleeding because the Rock race has a strong self-healing ability.

"Over the years, the Mad Army has managed to hold its own against the South China Sea people and the Rock People, which is enough to show that their strength should not be underestimated," Li Xin analyzed with a furrowed brow.

"So they came to us again." Qin Che smiled.

"Trying a three-pronged attack?"

What benefits would we gain from doing this?

"Lord Qin, my opinion is to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire, letting the two tigers fight it out."

"Yes, the previous wars of aggression also caused us considerable losses."

"Don't agree to the alliance with the people from the South China Sea too quickly. Negotiate first, see what they can offer, and try to negotiate with them on their bottom line."

Cabinet members discussed the matter animatedly, each expressing their own opinions.

Most people believe that the desert people have lost a lot of national strength due to the previous wars, and they need to recuperate in the next few years, so it is not advisable to start another war.

"Lord Qin, continuing with such aggressive military campaigns is not a good thing," even Su Pei said.

He is the Minister of Finance, an important cabinet minister.

These words silenced Qin Che.

"So, we've pretty much reached a consensus? Let's negotiate first. If the people from the South China Sea don't give us anything, it won't have much of an impact on us." Qin Che smiled and finally slammed his hand on the table.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xin remained silent, his thoughts completely different from Su Pei's.

He still wants to fight.

They can seize this opportunity to take over the western mountainous area in one fell swoop. Even if they have to share the land with the people of the South China Sea, it will be an easy deal.

But if we miss this opportunity, we'll have to wait several more years.

Could it be that he wants to monopolize the land in the western mountains?

Li Xin fell into thought...

However, in reality, the current financial situation is indeed very difficult. We just ended a war not long ago, and now we have to fight again? Everyone is struggling to cope.

The cabinet ministers generally believed that Qin Che had taken too big a step.

That's not how you fight a war.

Only with a stable rear can we expand outwards. You still have many domestic affairs to handle, and you need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, especially for the military. You must consider the finances and save money for others.

Qin Che, not wanting to act unilaterally, ended the meeting.

...

In the afternoon, the South China Sea Ambassador arrived.

Qin Che did not show up, but Yin Mu personally received them, accompanied by Su Pei from the Ministry of Finance, who led them on a tour of Leopard Court and the surrounding fortified towns.

"Aren't you going to see him?" Safanyin took Qin Che's hand and put down her work.

She only woke up when Qin Che went to the meeting. She had a great day yesterday and was exhausted, but her heart was filled with joy.

She's clinging to Qin Che now and doesn't want to leave, as if she can't stand being apart from him even for a short while.

Strangely enough, as soon as Savany arrived, Lina almost disappeared. We only met briefly in the corridor, but she was in a hurry and didn't say a word.
