The older generation of nobles and military officials in the Southern Cross Empire were originally unruly. Apart from obeying the former Duke of Nans, they did not have much respect for the old Duke's successor.
However, this heir single-handedly turned the tide, and even without an army, he forced the god-like Huo Yushen to retreat!
Just based on this one thing, these old men were convinced and let him take over the position of Grand Duke smoothly.
After this, the Principality of the Southern Cross naturally "slept on straw and tasted gall" and secretly developed its military strength.
In addition, they had signed a non-aggression treaty with the Beichen Empire, so they were not worried that the Beichen Empire would attack again.
Because Huo Yushen, who was most likely to tear up the agreement, had been transferred away from the front-line troops by the group of people fighting for power and profit in the Beichen Empire.
After seven years of slow growth, the war preparedness of the Southern Cross Principality is no longer what it used to be!
All the interstellar fleets that were destroyed that year were rebuilt, and the commanders of the front-line troops were all talented people selected from domestic military academies.
In addition, in recent years, they have also sent international students to the military academy of the Beichen Empire from time to time to learn their advanced and systematic military theoretical knowledge, and have gained a lot.
Among those who can sit in this small room today, the older ones are the backbone, and the younger ones are the reserve force.
Since Mai Aotuo can sit here, he is of course the future senior military leader that they are eyeing.
But he lowered his head, his face full of confusion and embarrassment.
He never expected that these familiar uncles and aunts were actually thinking about how to divide up the Beichen Empire?!
That's clearly a country that signed a peace treaty with them...
And a thousand years ago, wasn't their Southern Cross Principality part of the Beichen Empire?
Mai Aotuo had only been studying at Beichen Royal First Military University for one year, but he had already been "brainwashed" by the content of the game.
These are things that they, the Principality of the Southern Cross, will never teach.
In their country’s history classes, the Principality of the Southern Cross appeared 20,000 years ago, 10,000 years earlier than the Beichen Empire!
Whether there is archaeological evidence or not is not important.
Anyway, the people who write textbooks can write them however they want.
The kids are brainwashed at best.
Most of the children of the Southern Cross Principality who grew up with this kind of education hated the Beichen Empire and regarded it as their number one imaginary enemy.
Of course, they also hate the East Tianyuan Divine Kingdom and the Western Maneli Federation equally.
Because the education they received taught them that they are the best among people and the "chosen ones"!
People from other countries are just like insects and cannot be treated as human beings.
Mai Aotuo thought the same when he first went to school in Beichen Empire.
Then... Xia Chujian taught me a lesson...
Then he discovered that much of the history taught in his country was vague and could not stand up to scrutiny.
This indirectly proves that the complete history of the Beichen Galaxy lies on the Beichen Empire's side.
Of course, he had no intention of disparaging his own country.
After all, he has only been there for a year. If he is changed all of a sudden, then the more than ten years of education he received in his own country will be wasted.
But no matter what, you can't talk about that country in that tone!
There is his school and his classmates!
He even thought about whether he should save Xia Chujian if she was defeated and captured...
But he quickly dismissed this ridiculous idea.
He even had a vague feeling that, let alone Huo Yushen, the Beichen Empire would not be so easy to defeat now that there was Xia Chujian.
But my uncles and aunts seemed to be confident!
What a contradiction...
Have they forgotten that a few years ago, their country was almost destroyed by Huo Yushen of the Beichen Empire?
Who gave them the courage to think that they could take over the Beichen Empire soon?
He listened carefully, and gradually pieced together the truth from the fragments of words from these uncles and aunts.
Mai Aotuo opened his eyes wide and even forgot to close his mouth.
Damn!
It's actually related to the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom that disappeared from the entire Beichen Galaxy?!
Has that country, which only knows how to engage in secret conspiracies, become so powerful?!
…
The next day, Mai Aotuo invited Fan Ruisi to a high-end club in the city center for cold drinks.
There were cold drinks at home, so he was actually taking the opportunity to find her and pour out his troubles.
There are some things he would never dare to say at home.
After coming out, I have to find this kind of extremely private high-end club before I dare to complain secretly.
He couldn't even eat his favorite snow glutinous ice drink. He stirred it unconsciously with a spoon and complained to Van Ruisi, "Ruisi, did you hear that?"
"A war is about to begin..."
