237: Do you dare to oppose him?

Ignoring the military procurement request for now, the focus was on the attached appendix.

It briefly described the current battlefield situation where The Consortium was about to become history.

Following that was the bombshell news—the Military Alliance was in internal chaos, and the Empire, in collusion with three other top-tier regimes, wanted to use this internal strife to forcibly interfere in the Military Alliance's internal affairs.

Upon seeing this document, Xi Hai Chusiro didn't know what to say for a moment—the document was clearly written in the Human Common Language, so why, when put together, couldn't he understand a single word of it?

The Empire wants to make a move against the Military Alliance? The Empire wants to make a move against the Military Alliance! What kind of logic is this?

He had previously asked night lamp to check the current status of humanity. Putting aside the fact that the Military Alliance was currently the most militarily capable faction among humans, no other faction could replace the role they were currently playing—

Damn it, these people don't actually think that suppression units become idle units after being deployed for a long time, do they!!!

If the Military Alliance hadn't turned the border between humanity and the aliens into an impenetrable fortress, could these people have engaged in internal fighting in their own homes for so long? They would have been wiped out long ago!

And... what was the situation with that "Military Alliance internal chaos" mentioned above?

"night lamp! Help me check exactly what the situation is with humanity right now!"

"Keep it concise; what are the causes and consequences of the major events that have occurred recently?"

night lamp: "Summarizing for you now—sent."

Immediately, a file icon popped up on the interface in front of him—《Intelligence Available on Various Regimes Within Human Civilization》

As soon as Xi Hai opened it, he was hit in the face with a pile of explosive information.

First, after The Consortium fell apart, it was completely swept into the dustbin of history.

Currently, even some small regimes that didn't belong to the top-tier powers were like tiny scavengers on the grassland, quietly mixing into the war, starting to tear a piece of meat off that already stinking corpse.

After the dismemberment of The Consortium, several other top-tier regimes outside the Military Alliance actually reached a subtle cooperation—the reason was simple, because they had caught the Military Alliance in a split.

There was a dark joke: although The Consortium was gone, the Military Alliance had split into two halves, so human civilization still had six major top-tier regimes to this day.

And clearly, after devouring The Consortium, these guys who had tasted success automatically locked onto the Military Alliance as their next target.

As for the split in the Military Alliance, the cause was that the high command of the Military Alliance wanted to return to fight a civil war, but several Legions of the Military Alliance didn't want to fight a civil war, and then they just started fighting like that.

As for the detailed process of this event, it made Xi Hai frown even more—that familiar designation (16th Legion), and that familiar line "You betrayed us," this, this, this...

A string of text inexplicably surfaced in Xi Hai's mind—"Centaurus, Gold Ring, Thirty Years..."

No, no, no, what is all this? He looked back at the passage where the Empire wanted to make a move against the Military Alliance, and couldn't help but want to curse—Damn it, you dare to oppose them?

They were in internal chaos precisely because they refused to come back to fight a civil war, and these bastards in the Empire wanted to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Military Alliance were embroiled in internal chaos to make a direct move against them?

This bizarre relationship made Xi Hai laugh in anger—now, even he felt it was unjust for the soldiers of the Military Alliance.

To use an analogy, the various human regimes right now were like five people trapped in a room by a massive snowstorm, each having started their own small campfire.

For the sake of the remaining fuel, they didn't choose to combine their campfires, but rather chose to fight over such a small amount of fuel, and then divide the spoils clearly.

As for the house they were currently staying in, the door had split in two, and the first reaction of the people inside wasn't to fix the door, but to start calculating how to tear it down to use as their own fuel?

This—isn't this just pure madness!

"Bang!!!" He slammed his fist onto the table in front of him.

These damn people... they were completely disregarding the fate of civilization!

"Sigh—no," after calming down a little, Xi Hai let out a long breath.

He took another careful look at the Empire's demands. The Military Alliance was now divided into the "Loyalist Faction" (the conservative forces of the Military Alliance) and the "Purification Faction" (Lagrange and the Legion under his command).

The goal of the Empire and the other three regimes was to support both sides respectively, inciting them to engage in civil war to achieve the goal of weakening the Military Alliance's armed forces—and then, directly divide and eat this "fat meat."

"They are truly crazy, crazy." After finishing it completely, Xi Hai threw the tablet in his hand onto the ground with a look of disgust, smashing it to pieces, and cursed viciously.

They really are in a hurry to die... Forget it, let's think about what I should do first.

After sitting down and pinching the bridge of his nose, Xi Hai picked up a small notebook on the table, opened it, and then closed it immediately.

Agree to the Empire's request? Let them use the route through Tianjin Seat V89 to interfere in the internal affairs of the Military Alliance? Absolutely impossible.

He admitted that by leveraging the Empire, he had indeed gained great convenience for development in the early stages, but he was now past the development phase.

Now, although his scale was not as large as the Empire's, even if the Empire attacked him with full force, he could hold his own by relying on his god-like industrial capacity to produce Warships + the Clones system supplying veterans + the god-like mobility of the Void Bubble Engine—

Plus, the fighters, Warships, and engines he had previously sold to the Empire were all equipped with backdoor systems.

That backdoor system published by night lamp would take effect on all enemy units as long as one Warship connected to the battlefield information chain. In other words, even if he broke with the Empire now, he could protect himself.

Let's wait and see. If he could stall and fool them, he would do that first. If the Empire didn't buy it—he would have to prepare for the worst...

night lamp had long since marked the locations of the dozen or so megastructures remaining in the Empire.

Thinking this, Xi Hai sighed, picked up another communicator, and began editing a reply to the Empire:

"Regarding the sale of Warships, please submit specific requirements so that we can proceed with the design. After finalization, we will invite your side to come and confirm again."

"As for borrowing Tianjin Seat V89 to travel to the interior of the Military Alliance, we believe this idea is too unrealistic."

"First, as Tianjin Seat V89 is on the front line, a large number of Void Channels are in a broken state, making long-distance navigation impossible,"

"Furthermore, the front line has recently suffered continuous operational setbacks, making it impossible to provide security guarantees for any friendly units arriving,"

"Therefore, regarding this matter, please reconsider."

After thinking about it, he sent this draft to the department responsible for diplomacy in the Legion, and added a note: "When replying to the Legion, use this meaning."

For now... it's time to start mass-producing troops quickly; I hope the stargate is built soon.
