Chapter 1306 – Signs of Global Overlord

Rio’s ultimate move greatly harmed Jack.

When he learned that the Brasilia Dynasty had betrayed him, Jack was so furious that he flipped the table.

“If I do not take revenge for this, I’m not human!”

The usually calm and mild-tempered Jack finally blew up, his eyes flashing red.

However, after raging, Jack still had to face reality. He knew that the 200 thousand troops would not return; it like a piece of his flesh being cut off.

To make matters worse, without reinforcements, they would not be able to defend the Columbia region.

After 10 days of intense war, under the relentless assaults of the Great Xia Army, Panama was on the verge of collapse. Both sides were elite forces, so they both suffered heavy casualties.

To take down Panama, Han Xin was really cold blooded.

“Your majesty, let us withdraw the troops; there’s no point in continuing to fight.” Franklin suggested, “We cannot panic because of Great Xia. The most important thing right now is to take down the Maple Dynasty.”

Once they took down the Maple Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty would control the entire North America Continent. They would gain the ability to challenge any dynasty, even learning from Great Xia and becoming the mastermind in the world war.

When Jack heard that, he closed his eyes painfully and clenched his fists tight. His fingernails dug into his flesh.

After a long while, he loosened his fist. His palms were bleeding red. Jack wanted himself to remember the pain of this moment as he said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s follow what you proposed. Leave me.”

When Franklin saw that, he bowed before quietly leaving the room.

…

6th month, 6th day, the Dawson Dynasty withdrew their troops from Panama.

Two days later, the entire Columbia was taken down by Great Xia and became another one of their overseas territories.

The Great Xia Imperial Court moved really quickly. The next day, they decreed Ecuador’s merger into the Columbia region to form the Columbia Province, which was their first province in America.

The ruling city was Bogota.

Original Ecuador Prefecture Governor Zhou Haichen, Ouyang Shuo’s trusted official, naturally became the Columbia Provincial Governor, helping the Imperial Court manage this crucial piece of land.

…

News of Great Xia conquering Columbia raised a huge storm across the world.

One must not only look at the world being in a chaotic state. This was the second time Great Xia and the Dawson Dynasty went head-to-head, so everyone naturally focused and paid attention to it.

Last time, Great Xia occupied Hawaii Island and crushed the Free Squadron, winning their first battle beautifully, establishing authority on a global scale.

More people paid attention to this encounter.

The result? Great Xia easily took down the Columbia region like a breeze blowing off leaves in autumn, conquering the Dawson Dynasty’s most important piece of land overseas.

From this moment on, Great Xia officially established their prestige and authority in the world.

The makings of a global hegemony were slowly showing, sprouting out, making one look on with respect.

On the contrary, the Dawson Dynasty’s prestige was hit. Additionally, their ally had betrayed them, causing Jack to lose a lot of face.

This also undermined Silver Hand’s authority, making Azure Badge clap their hands in delight.

After this battle, the Dawson Dynasty’s influence in South America fell to freezing point. Great Xia replaced them and became the biggest power in South America.

Surprisingly, although the Brasilia Dynasty betrayed the Dawson Dynasty, it did not announce their submission to Great Xia; this was something that the outside world did not understand.

Some people suspected that the Brasilia Dynasty was using Great Xia’s hand to play the Dawson Dynasty. Additionally, right after, they used the same trick to play up Great Xia.

As for what the truth was exactly, only the involved parties knew for themselves.

…

The outside world paid attention to the Columbia war ending, but they missed out on a little crucial point.

6th month, 10th day.

Not long after Great Xia took down the entirety of Columbia, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions of the Atlantic Squadron appeared in Caracas, Georgetown, and Paramaribo respectively.

Based on the original plan, after taking down Columbia, the Tiger legion corps and South America legion corps would head to the east shore of Brasilia and end the matter in one battle.

For this reason, the Atlantic Squadron disappeared from the Mediterranean Ocean.

Along with the Brasilia Dynasty’s submission, the war situation changed. Naturally, the three divisions had new missions.

The America warzone would aid them in conquering the Antilles islands around the Caribbean.

The goal was to help the Imperial Court take control of the entire Caribbean Ocean.

The Caribbean Ocean was located in the Western Hemisphere and was the largest continental sea in the world. The west and southwest portions were Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, north was the Greater Antilles Islands, east was the Lesser Antilles Islands, and south was South America.

Due to its position, historically, some people called it and the Mexico Gulf the Mediterranean of the Americas.

If the Panama Canal was a path connecting the Pacific to the Atlantic, the Caribbean Ocean was a pathway that the incoming merchant ships had to cross.

To truly control the Panama Canal, one had to control the Caribbean Ocean.

Jack was really clear about this point. As a result, after taking down Panama and establishing the Columbia state, he sent out squadrons to deal with the pirates of the Caribbean and took down the Greater and Lesser Antilles islands afterward.

The Dawson Dynasty had sacrificed a lot to destroy the infamously strong pirates of the Caribbean. After that battle, the entire Caribbean basically became a continental sea for the Columbia state.

As the Mayan Dynasty on the west was established late and lacked a strong navy, it did not have any power in the Caribbean Ocean.

After Great Xia established the Columbia Province, they naturally had to copy the Dawson Dynasty and wipe them from the region to truly achieve a case of the dove taking over the magpie’s nest.

If not, there would be many problems.

This was also important for raising the authority of Great Xia throughout the America Continent in the future.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo was willing to delay the European war matter and have the Atlantic Squadron enter South America to help the Empire open up this final ocean gate.

…

6th month, 12th day, Brasilia Dynasty.

Obviously, Rio was not as stupid as the public thought. Conning Great Xia after making enemies with the Dawson Dynasty would simply be asking to die.

He had not submitted to Great Xia yet because he still needed to complete the last mission that Ouyang Shuo had entrusted him with.

Before the City-State was established, Brazil was the big brother of South America. However, due to its geographical location and resources, it was not as good as it looked.

Apart from the rainforest region in the north that was unsuitable for farming, the south side also had a bottleneck.

The main cities and ports of Brazil were concentrated on the southeast shore, and it was also the most prosperous region of the country. However, tragically, Brazil did not have a river connecting them to the southeast.

That made things awkward.

Without such a river, they were unable to connect the inland to the ocean, so their development was naturally restricted.

During an industrialization time period where ocean powers totally replaced land ones, regarding the transportation of goods, whoever controlled the point where the river flowed into the ocean controlled the entire waterway.

The only river in Brazil that entered the ocean was called the Rio De la Plata. However, this entry point to the ocean was not within Brazil borders but in Argentina.

Argentina’s imperial city, Buenos Aires, was located there.

Noticing this point, Ouyang Shuo obviously would not standby and do nothing. He immediately ordered Rio to stop fighting on the east front and instead go down south to take down Buenos Aires before he submitted.

When the flames of war began in South America, the war between the Indian Empire and Argentina had not stopped for even a moment. After withdrawing 50 thousand troops, the Spanish army was evidently forced onto the back foot.

Although the firearms that Juarez bought from Great Xia were eliminated ones, they were able to take the lead thanks to their massive numerical advantage.

Along with the Dawson Dynasty falling in South America, Casillas did not feel confident about keeping Argentina.

Under such circumstances, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to kill steal.

He had no choice.

If Buenos Aires fell into the hands of the Indian Empire, the value of the Brasilia Dynasty drop greatly, which would affect their plans in South America.

Ouyang Shuo believed that the Indian Empire without any more worries would be difficult to make yield and listen to Great Xia, so the only way was to ensure that they did not have the capital to do so.

Controlling Buenos Aires was a crucial step.

Furthermore, the city was currently in the hands of the Spanish, and the one attacking was the Brasilia Dynasty that had not submitted. Hence, in theory, Ouyang Shuo was not encroaching on their interests.

At least on the surface, it was not wrong.

As for whether Juarez would feel resentment due to this matter or not, Ouyang Shuo did not bother about it.

Ouyang Shuo would not care and would simply do the things that he ought to do.
