Overgod Ascension

In this steampunk world, Golden Oak, Pandorne, and Bauhinia are recognized as the three most powerful countries in the world.

And around them, there are other densely packed countries and colonies that choose to rely on a certain big country for survival.

Some deliberately maintain their independent status, declare permanent demilitarization, and become neutral countries. As a place for competition and mediation between several major powers, they can be regarded as surviving in the cracks.

Aledorn is such a country.

It is located in the gap between the three major steam powers, and its territory only has a dozen cities. Compared with the giant neighbor, it seems to be small in every aspect.

Precisely because of its unique geographical location and the consideration of easing the border, no major country chose to annex it, but tacitly classified it as a neutral country as a buffer for each.

Nowadays, Aledorn has become famous in the whole world by virtue of its reputation of being absolutely safe and not facing the threat of war.

Alessorn, Dove City.

On this day, all the streets were cleaned urgently, and a large number of patrol police took to the streets to maintain order. There were also many marching teams holding banners such as "Peace, not war" and gathered in front of several embassies.

——After the unremitting efforts of Golden Oak and Bauhinia, the key is Chevrolet's compromise, and finally reluctantly agreed to start a round of negotiations to strive for a peaceful resolution of the dispute in the Pandorne Empire. Before that, no force would take the lead in using it. nuclear weapon.

As a result, almost the entire world's people are celebrating, rejoicing that they have briefly emerged from the haze of nuclear war and destruction.

A huge armored airship was parked at the airship field. Chevrolet, wearing a military uniform and white gloves, looked at the bustling streets and squinted his eyes: "Mr. Ambassador, the citizens of your country are very enthusiastic!"

Alessorn's ambassador replied solemnly: "This is a spontaneous action by our citizens. Your Excellency, President, you should see the prayer for peace in it!"

"I personally have no intention of provoking a world war and the destruction of mankind, as long as the Pandorn Empire is willing to admit reality!"

Chevrolet's words made the ambassador frown.

If the nobles of Panduun really knew how to compromise, why would they be needed to mediate?

"In this regard, I believe that the representatives of Redbud and Golden Oak will negotiate carefully with you two."

Fortunately, Aledorn was just an errand boy this time, and the real hosts were these two families.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it!"

Chevrolet got into the car surrounded by many guards and drove slowly towards the State Guesthouse. His car had obviously been specially modified. There was no noise from the boiler and there was no vibration on the road.

However, after passing a few blocks, another convoy slowly drove over, causing the ambassador's expression to change instantly: "It's a convoy from the Pandorn Empire, damn, the route arranged by that bastard?"

Although he intended to mediate, he didn't want the enemies to meet each other before going to the negotiating table, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.

"The plenipotentiary representative of the Pandorn Empire this time is Crown Prince Gaudí, right?"

Chevrolet looked at the oncoming motorcade, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The last time the plan to promote peace through war failed, he immediately searched for the reason. It was not until recently that the spies lurking in Pandorn sent him detailed information, letting him know that the reason for his failure was entirely because of this prince. He has been trying his best to lead the war and convinced the noble Senate and the emperor. Otherwise, his plan would have been successful long ago.

Even, along with the intelligence came some ambiguous news, especially one of the speculations, which Chevrolet took very seriously.

"Reincarnation person...?"

He rolled down the window, his face as dark as water.

The convoy on the opposite side also appeared to be relatively restrained, making no provocative moves. The two sides just passed each other slowly.

Just when they were crossing, the car in the middle also rolled down its window, revealing the handsome face of Crown Prince Gaudí.

The two eyes suddenly looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Time seemed to have passed in an instant, and then it seemed like a long time. It was not until the motorcade slowly drove away that the Ambassador finally exhaled: "Fortunately..."

He almost thought that the two sides would fight directly, and that would be the end of his role as ambassador. Fortunately, this worst-case scenario did not happen.

Chevrolet, on the other hand, looked even more gloomy at this time, as if it could drip water.

The moment they looked at each other, he felt the familiar temperament from the other person, and he was even more certain that the other person was a reincarnator!

Now, he finally knew how his plan failed.

"This negotiation will probably be even more difficult!"

Chevrolet suddenly sighed.

Since they are both reincarnators, they will definitely not give in on each other's understanding, bottom line, and key terms.

…

The other side.

In the convoy of the Pandorn Empire, the driver in front suddenly turned around: "Your Highness, your identity will be revealed now..."

"This is nothing?"

Prince Gaudi leaned on the sponge cushion: "Anyway, you will always see me during negotiations. It makes no difference sooner or later... Since the last time, I have no hope of hiding my identity. Anyway, if I can maintain it until now, it is already A huge victory!”

"Then do we really want to compromise this time?"

The driver's voice sounded worried.

"Of course not, now is the best opportunity to eliminate those rebels!"

Prince Gaudi's face was as heavy as water: "Their foundation is unstable. Our territory is larger than his, and our army is larger than his. The most important thing is that the number of Thunder God's Swords in stock must definitely exceed those of the opposite party... It is precisely because of this that we We can’t give them time to develop!”

He deeply understands the inconceivability of the reincarnation space.

As long as Chevrolet can catch his breath and go through a few more mission worlds, his team will definitely be able to gain a lot of contribution points. When the time comes and exchange for some black technology, his side may be at a disadvantage.

"Then why did His Highness agree to peace talks with them? Is it because of the relationship between the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Bauhinia Federation?"

"a part of it."

In front of his confidants, Prince Gaudi was pretty good at talking: "Those two countries were frightened by our madness. They may have stocks, but they would never dare to throw the Thunder God's Sword at each other as destructively as we do, so , they prepared a cage for me - non-proliferation treaty, non-proliferation of technology, and commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons... Haha..."

Having said this, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Although these two countries are quite afraid of death, their force is not fake. In order to prevent us from agreeing, they completely sided with the Alliance Army, so we can still accept some of these terms, and the war of Thunder God Sword can be stopped. , but ordinary war must not stop!"

Prince Gaudi said bitterly: "We can't give any of these rebels a chance to recuperate. Even if we can't use the Thunder God's Sword, we will take advantage of the huge victory we won in the previous attack and bulldoze them with the land, sea and air force!"

For the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Bauhinia Federation, Prince Gaudi has indeed grasped their bottom line.

The entire world and the ecosystem cannot be buried together. This is the unanimous view of the two countries. If Panduun ignores this and threatens their basic survival, Gaudí has ​​no doubt that these two countries lacking moral integrity will directly turn around and do whatever they can. Fund the Free Alliance at any cost and bulldoze the Empire as quickly as possible.

But apart from nuclear weapons, their attitude towards the Free Alliance is probably not as good as that of the Pandorn Empire.

Therefore, nuclear war must stop, but ordinary war must continue.

Maybe, this is also the scene that the guys from Golden Oak and Bauhinia want to see the most.

After all, as the war continued, the empire's strategic reserves continued to decline, and it had to purchase various materials in large quantities from the Golden Oak and Bauhinia Federation.

The consequences of this are the outflow of various precious metals and even a pile of foreign debt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the industry and commerce of the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Bauhinia Federation ushered in a rare golden period of development, and the various colonies were frantically squeezing the market share that originally belonged to Pandorn.

After this war, even though Panduon can still maintain its independence, it is almost certain that it will fall from its status as a world-class power.

…

"Aledorn, Dove City!"

Just as the meeting began, a train slowly stopped at the train station.

A strange man wearing a black trench coat, hat, sunglasses, and mask, who wanted to cover his entire face, also slowly came down from the platform and stared in the direction of the venue, with a strange light shining in his eyes under the sunglasses.

The steam train emitted white smoke, made a loud noise, and rumbled away from the platform.

The weirdo walked out of the train station and immediately saw a huge new slogan written on the opposite wall - 'Long Live Peace'! The paint on it hasn't completely dried yet.

"Peace? Hehe..."

The weirdo stared at these letters and suddenly laughed softly, his voice full of hoarseness and unwillingness:

"Where in this world can there be true peace?"

He suddenly thought of himself.

Although he gave almost everything for the Federation, he got nothing in the end and was sent away with a meager pension.

The culprit who caused him to fall into such a situation was treated as a distinguished guest by various dignitaries because he had mastered powerful power. The differential treatment caused the hatred in his heart to burn.

True peace? fair? I'm afraid this kind of thing only appears in fantasy, right?

"Lucius, you're here, good!"

At this time, a person suddenly walked over from the side, and his voice sounded directly in his heart.

"Reincarnator?"

Lucius took a deep breath: "Tell me...why did you go all the way to find me?"

"There are just some small things that require your professional skills..."

The voice said: "And in return, I will give you what you want!"
