Indeed, daring to speak to the three A-class battle groups in such a tone, Number One had no intention of resolving the dispute through negotiations with them from the start!
The A-class battle groups' stance was too firm. In the last simulation, even when the Silent Faction was on the verge of defeat, no A-class battle group surrendered. Alaya even revived them through some means, leading them to command the monster army to attack the Human Federation under the Savior Council's leadership...
Keeping such staunch members of the Silent Faction within the Eastern Victory Federation undoubtedly posed a significant threat to the Savior Council. Number One would rather forgo the combat power of these three A-class battle groups than allow such an uncontrollable force to exist within their core base.
Therefore, the message sent by Number One was nominally an invitation, but in reality, it was forcing the three A-class battle groups to turn against the Savior Council. Only in this way could the Savior Council have a legitimate reason to send troops eastward and begin the Western Expedition! Sweeping across Eastern Victory!
Before the message was sent,
the Savior Council's high-ranking members had already begun gathering troops and appointing generals! The million-strong professional army under the Savior Council's control in the Eastern Province, led by sky-level battle group leaders who had surrendered to the Savior Council, strictly followed the army hierarchy of the Human Federation from the last simulation, forming a military organization that, although seemingly loose, was actually extremely tightly structured!
Five people formed a squad, five squads formed a platoon, five platoons formed a company, five companies formed a battalion, five battalions formed a regiment, five regiments formed a brigade, and five brigades formed a division!
The Savior Council's million-strong army was divided into thirteen division-level corps, each division equipped with at least two sky-level experts, overseen by two army commanders, respectively your clones Number Two and Number Four!
The mid- and lower-level officers were mostly core members from the Savior Council's academy days. Although these core members were weaker, their loyalty to the Savior Council was unquestionable, ensuring that this integrated army remained under the Savior Council's control.
Of course, what was truly terrifying about the Savior Council was its war weaponry, with coverage almost comparable to that of an A-class battle group!
Leaving aside the basic war weapons like the Leopard King and Lion King tanks, which were technologically at least five years ahead of the current Awakening Era,
Emperor-class mechs, battle formations, and even war skills and spaceships had been equipped within the army-level units! Although the numbers were small, far from comparable to the vast resources of advanced warfare of the A-class battle groups,
the Savior Council's advantage in war weaponry lay in its technological content, far surpassing the outdated equipment of the A-class battle groups! Taking spaceships as an example, the Savior Council's spaceships far surpassed the battle groups' in both basic stats and fusion rate! The former could reach a massive 50%, while the latter could reach an astonishing 10%!
Coupled with the Savior Council's more war-oriented military structure, they were not afraid of facing even three A-class battle groups simultaneously!
However, what your clone Number One did not expect was that,
in response to his invitation filled with provocative intent,
the three A-class battle groups not only did not react with the rage Number One had anticipated but actually sent representatives to the Eastern Province headquarters, now occupied by the Savior Council!!
The representatives of the three A-class battle groups were Wan Xingyun, the vice-commander of the Wuji Battle Group, Zhou Huayue, the chief executive of the Taichu Battle Group, and Yu An, the vice-commander of the Royal Forest Battle Group!
According to Shangguan Lingwei's report,
these three were all among the top three most important figures in their respective A-class battle groups, demonstrating the importance the three A-class battle groups placed on the Savior Council!
This made clone Number One somewhat at a loss.
He really didn't understand when the three A-class battle groups had become so mild-tempered. How could they endure such blatant provocation?
Helpless, Number One had to temporarily halt the already prepared army.
Mainly, with the arrival of the three A-class battle group representatives, clone Number One couldn't think of any sufficient reason to start a war for the time being.
Before that, regardless of the three A-class battle groups' intentions,
Number One had to meet with the battle group representatives, after all, they had come at his invitation.
And just as Number One instructed Shangguan Lingwei to begin planning the meeting with the three battle group representatives,
on the other side, the three battle group representatives, having already arrived in the Eastern Province, were gradually having their sense of superiority as A-class battle groups replaced by shock as they approached the Eastern Province capital, now the Savior Council's headquarters!
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of magic the Savior Council had used to transform the entire Eastern Province into what seemed like the Savior Council's natural base of operations in such a short period!
From the moment they entered the Eastern Province,
everything they saw was almost entirely in the Savior Council's black and red colors, with red flags bearing the swastika fluttering everywhere along the roads. Even the ordinary people walking on the roadside were singing songs like 'The Savior Council makes decisions for the people!'
This was completely different from what they had imagined, where the Savior Council, as rebellious elements forcibly occupying the Eastern Province, would inevitably be met with hostility from the common people!
The people's love and support for the Savior Council were even more active and enthusiastic than the federal people's support for the Federal Headquarters in the federal capital! All the way, the three had not heard anyone say a single bad word or even a complaint about the Savior Council! No matter how the three tried to guide them, the people only expressed gratitude and admiration for the Savior Council!
The battle group representatives were truly terrified...
They could ignore the extraordinary power that the Savior Council had rapidly acquired after rising from obscurity.
They could also end the Eastern Victory Federation's crusade against the Savior Council with a single sentence after Luo Fa's death, forcing the Eastern Victory Federation to give up the entire Eastern Province for their overall strategy!
But the only thing they could not ignore was the Savior Council's terrifying ability to spread its influence and infect others!
The representatives, including the A-class battle groups behind them, had always overestimated the Savior Council's ability to spread its influence. Without a terrifying ability to spread its influence, the Savior Council could not have grown to its current size in such a short period...
But only when they actually came to the Eastern Province, to the territory occupied by the Savior Council!
Could they truly understand how lacking their imagination was; and just how exaggerated the Savior Council's ability to spread its influence was!
With such a terrifying ability to spread its influence,
the Savior Council's provocation towards their three A-class battle groups in the letter was probably not a joke!
Although A-class battle groups were high and mighty, their actual total number was not that large. The three A-class battle groups, even including reserves and logistics professionals, only numbered a few tens of thousands of professionals in total!
The reason they were portrayed as so powerful was purely because the battle group and extraordinary governance bill system itself was a system that did not favor the emergence of super forces!
On the one hand, the extraordinary governance bill restricted the number of professionals, and on the other hand, it divided the professionals into countless small battle groups.
Although this did ensure that battle groups could hardly pose a threat to the Federation or the Professional Guild, and the world situation was easier for the Professional Guild, or rather, Luo Fa, to control,
professionals under this system were destined to have limited future achievements. A-class battle groups were about the most powerful battle groups that this system could produce...
In the past, A-class battle groups naturally dealt with other battle groups under the extraordinary governance bill order like a dimensionality reduction strike.
But when they faced the Savior Council, which had already jumped out of the framework of the Awakening Order and had its own system,
the difference between the two systems was perfectly reflected at this moment!
The representatives were very clear.
With the Savior Council's prestige now displayed in the Eastern Province,
the entire Eastern Province could basically be said to have completely fallen into the Savior Council's hands.
The Eastern Province's 250 million humans, more than 500,000 professionals, had all become the Savior Council's powerful charging machines! Coupled with the fact that the Savior Council had Awakening Balls in its hands, which could awaken ordinary people at any time...
The Savior Council's leader, that guy named Lin Ke, could easily pull out an army of a million professionals!
