In February 2026, the tension in the Strait of Gibraltar was like a sword of Damocles hanging high in the sky, casting a heavy shadow over the global geopolitical landscape.
The military standoff between the United Kingdom and the Spanish Empire here continues to escalate, and this vital chokepoint connecting the Mediterranean and the Atlantic has become the focus of world attention.
At the same time, Odin and Leonor's journey to the moon, which began at the beginning of the year, was like a magical interlude played in this tense atmosphere, attracting the curiosity and yearning of some people in the world.
In the magnificent and solemn conference hall of the United Nations headquarters, an emergency consultation meeting is in full swing.
Representatives from all over the world gathered together, wearing traditional costumes of different styles, but all with the same solemn expression on their faces.
Around the huge round conference table, representatives expressed their opinions and debated, trying to find a peaceful solution to the Gibraltar crisis.
"This continued military confrontation is of no benefit and will only drag the situation step by step into the abyss of war. We must immediately find a practical and feasible peace plan." A representative from a country in the Crescent Alliance spoke first. His voice was full of anxiety and worry, and his eyes looked around at everyone present earnestly.
"The United Kingdom's long-term occupation of Gibraltar is undoubtedly a serious violation of the sovereignty of the Gibraltar Republic. This situation must be fundamentally changed." A representative from a country in the Equatorial Alliance expressed support for the Gibraltar Republic's position in passionate words. He waved his arms vigorously, as if to vent his indignation.
The United Kingdom representative's expression darkened instantly. He quickly stood up and retorted in a strong tone, "Gibraltar is of vital strategic significance to the United Kingdom. It is the key to the United Kingdom's national security and interests. We will never give it up easily.
Moreover, this is a long-standing historical issue and cannot be simply characterized as a violation of sovereignty.”
Just as the representatives of various countries were deadlocked and arguing, the representative of the Stars and Stripes coughed lightly, breaking the tense atmosphere and trying to propose a seemingly compromise plan: "Perhaps we could consider granting Gibraltar some kind of special status, while maximizing the strategic interests of the United Kingdom while also trying to meet some of the reasonable demands of the Bullfighter Kingdom in terms of sovereignty and other aspects."
However, this seemingly "best of both worlds" proposal did not receive the expected positive response from both parties.
The representative of the Spanish Republic expressed determination and unyielding resolve, stating: "Gibraltar has always been an integral part of the Spanish Republic's territory. Any incomplete and incomplete solution would be a blatant disregard and violation of the Spanish Republic's sovereignty, which we absolutely cannot accept."
At the same time, deep in the Alps, an ancient and mysterious castle is hidden in the snow.
Inside the castle, candlelight flickered in the dark hall, and the dim light danced on the rough stone walls, reflecting the serious and deep faces of Xiao Zhen and the core figures of several key European families.
“Although the current situation is becoming increasingly tense, we must not retreat.
The United Kingdom appears tough on the surface, but internally it is riddled with contradictions." Xiao Zhen's gaze was firm, and his steady and powerful voice echoed through the hall, as if penetrating the thick stone walls of the ancient castle.
A white-haired patriarch of an established European family nodded slowly, his eyes revealing the wisdom and strategy of years. "Indeed, Mr. Xiao is absolutely right. We can fully exploit these contradictions and exert greater pressure on the United Kingdom from multiple perspectives, including economics, politics, and public opinion."
At the same time, we must do everything we can to consolidate the support within the country and ensure that it maintains a firm stance in the negotiations.”
After a long and in-depth discussion, they finally decided to further increase their support for the Matador Nation.
Not only has there been a significant improvement in the sharing of military resources, such as the provision of more advanced weapons and equipment, military technical support and strategic guidance.
It also plans to impose a series of precise and severe economic sanctions on the United Kingdom through the huge financial institutions it controls.
They are "encircling and suppressing" it from all directions in many fields, including financial markets and trade exchanges.
"We must make the United Kingdom clearly realize that continuing with its tough confrontation will surely come at a heavy price." Xiao Zhen's words were firm and decisive, revealing an unquestionable firm determination, setting the tone for this behind-the-scenes game.
And on the distant moon, Odin and Leonor are immersed in an unprecedented and wonderful journey of exploration.
Since leaving Earth in February, they have left behind a trail of distinctive footprints on the lunar surface.
The huge craters are like mysterious relics left by ancient giants, quietly telling the vicissitudes of the universe; the vast lunar sea is calm and deep, like a huge mirror, reflecting the mystery and depth of the universe.
"Wow, look at these craters. They are like huge time capsules, and each one carries the thrilling impact stories in the universe." Leonor excitedly pointed at the craters in the distance, her eyes flashing with curiosity and amazement. Through the special communication equipment, her voice was full of excitement and excitement.
Odin smiled and nodded gently, explaining patiently, "Yes, most of these craters were formed by asteroids hitting the lunar surface over the course of many years.
Because the moon lacks the protection of an atmosphere, it is like a defenseless target and has suffered countless asteroid impacts.
Each crater is like a page in the history book of the universe, recording those distant and mysterious cosmic events."
They moved forward cautiously on the lunar surface, each step appearing light and unique due to the moon's weak gravity, as if they were performing a dreamlike dance.
