Chapter 1637 Northern Neighbor
"What's the situation in the north? Will Red Star cooperate?"
"The Russians themselves don't know what to do. No matter how nice their words sound, do you believe them? Their territory is too large, and even the center can't handle it now. God knows what will happen next."
On the train heading south, Lu Ping'an naturally met his fellow travelers, the investigation team heading to the Red Star Republic.
But since we met, the other party has been complaining constantly, and it seems that this trip is not going well.
The leader of the Red Star Investigation Team and Lu Ping'an's entourage were communicating in the dining car next door, while Lu Ping'an was also chatting with the special consultant of the investigation team. High-level extraordinary people without clear identities are becoming more and more dominant in human society. This delicate identity of maintaining the right to act freely is often a title that the strong only have in name only.
".Have a drink. This damn weather always reminds me of the days when I was hiding from wolves in the snowy mountains."
Lu Ping'an took the red wine and clinked glasses with the woman in front of him who looked a bit like a vampire.
"Ms. Li Na, what do you think? Will they send troops?"
Lu Ping'an did not look at the information the other party brought. Those analytical materials and data were cumbersome and complicated, and Lu Ping'an was not interested in spending too much time on them.
What's more, Lu Ping'an believes more in the intuition and perception of extraordinary people than those boring data.
". I have good intentions but I don't have the strength. As I said before, Red Star is too big. Compared to its power, its territory is too large."
Now Lu Ping'an understood.
The Li Na in front of us has a name that is more well-known to the world - "Bloody Countess Olga V. Sierrona".
The blonde with red eyes has been famous for many years. Her mixed ancestry of Oriental and Red Star and her experience of growing up in Citibank have made many people suspect that she is a double agent. Judging from the intelligence that has been declassified now, she is a triple agent.
She will completely steer towards the East Country and be tied to its interests, simply because the East Country can offer better rewards and a better future. Such a middleman without "loyalty" is very suitable for carrying out this kind of diplomatic mission.
Especially since she has a lot of Red Star spies under her, they might even dig out the other president's private secrets if they go there.
The reason why a semi-public multifaceted spy became a master of diplomacy was quite pure and simple. She upgraded all the way to level eight and naturally jumped out of the chessboard, transforming from a chess piece into a chess player.
The value of such a good player itself is greater than her past experience. No one will stop her from doing anything she wants to do as long as it does not affect the fundamental interests of various countries.
The VIP carriage, which was already quite luxurious, was urgently renovated again due to her arrival, and was equipped with a wine cabinet, refrigerator and a large bathtub, which should never have appeared on this kind of train.
Now, there were only Lu Ping'an and her in the small room. Unlike the new generation like Lu Ping'an, the older generation of high-level officials did not like to have too much contact with mortals. They were used to limiting their social interactions with people of the same kind.
On the one hand, it is a habit brought over from the past secretive era, and mortals often regard them as gods or other unknowable things. On the other hand, mortals are too vulnerable compared to them, and getting too close is not good for both of them.
"Is this good news?"
"Of course. We can transfer the northern troops to the front line, which is of course a good thing."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an also laughed.
He was not stupid enough to say something stupid like allies are like family. Most of the armies of most countries are used to guard against neighboring countries. This is an extremely necessary normal investment. It would be too late to dispatch troops if something really happened. All major military regions have the vague existence of imaginary enemies, so their locations are very critical.
You blocked 30,000 at A, and I set 40,000 at B across the river. We restrain each other and maintain stability.
This time, the Red Stars were nominally sent to send out troops, and they were not even expected to achieve any results, but their troop strength would enable the Northern Military Region of the East Country to take action, whether they were to serve as reserve combat forces in rotation or to transfer personnel to the front, which would free up a lot of resources.
".I heard they have internal strife?"
"That was a misunderstanding. It was a small country in Central Asia that believed in an evil god, caused some trouble, and started a fire."
"Well, this is more troublesome than civil unrest. Can they solve it?"
"It's not a big problem, but it's a big loss of vitality, and there are some follow-up issues that are more troublesome."
The one causing trouble in a certain country in Central Asia is an evil force called "Water of Eternal Life". Several lakes appeared there inexplicably, and even a small country sank into the water. No matter how you look at it, it seems like the Octopus is causing trouble.
"It looks like it's going to get more and more troublesome, and the world is getting closer."
With the addition of plane invasions, it also means that more "exoticization" has appeared between the two worlds. The "principles" of the two worlds are getting closer and closer, and are being pulled closer at the high-dimensional level.
Then, those evil gods from foreign lands will be able to interfere here more easily.
Perhaps if we go further, more evil gods will come to this world, and they will still be able to exert considerable power.
"Did you do this on purpose? You chose this time."
"It's hard to say. Based on my many years of experience as a spy. Well, based on my many years of experience in diplomacy, I've come across too many so-called conspiracies and well-timed tricks that were just the result of a bunch of makeshift teams trying to outdo each other."
The countess was wearing thick snow leopard fur. A strong person of her level had long ignored the cold winter. But whether it was the red carpet or the oil paintings on the wall, it was obvious that she was still living in her own era. Lu Ping'an heard that she seemed to have blood from the Tsar, so the countess was not just a simple title.
The Red Earl was quite emotional when she said this. Logically, as a descendant of the old times, she should hate the Red Star Republic very much, but now seeing her own ethnic group in a half-dead state, she felt a little conflicted. Fortunately, as a descendant of the marriage, she had the blood of both royal families and had another way out.
Unlike Lu Ping'an's relatively peaceful patrol, she fought three battles along the way and enjoyed two assassinations. Considering that those who could threaten her were basically above the rule level, it would not be a trivial matter for them to fight.
She even went to investigate the dangerous area that had become a large inland lake and confirmed that this was an accidental incident.
But in a sense, this is also inevitable.
When the two worlds are close enough, they will naturally interfere with each other. Many evil gods like to tear a space rift at random and throw their own tokens, holy books, etc. into it. After a while, there may be a fool calling out to them over there.
This is normal in foreign warfare. If you are not careful, a city will be bewitched by the evil spirit and rebel.
The situation in Red Star is even worse. One of the biggest differences in this world line is that the Red Star Republic is a relatively pure Slavic country. Its geography is roughly the same as Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia in another world line, but it has not formed an independent ethnic consciousness.
This is not simply a relationship of size, but a different timeline, which has caused geographical and political divisions. Some areas belonged to Russia in the past, but are now independent Central Asian countries.
Because they are based on national consciousness, they did not implode and disintegrate directly due to the collapse of faith and economy. Also, because they use national consciousness to unite the entire country, their upper limit of strength is not as crazy as in another world line.
After a brief chat and confirming the situation in the north, Lu Ping'an knew that they probably had nothing to look forward to in the upcoming war.
At most, they were aware of it and sent out a fleet to provide assistance. Their army and the former navy that had been transferred to the Lake Army were currently dealing with the alienation of that entire small country.
"Is there a Son of God? Or a Holy Son?"
The Son of God is a descendant of divine blood and the highest level of holy son. He can easily bring down most of the power of the gods. As long as the gods are willing to pay the price, their strength can even exceed that of most quasi-gods.
Of course, such a Son of God also starts at the seventh level, while the Son of God is much cheaper.
".How could a few saint sons and god sons drag a small country into the sea? Not only is there the Eternal Water over there, but also several evil gods have been killed directly. The Red Star has no time to care about foreign countries in the short term."
Olga Li Na sighed. The mission was fully accomplished, but looking at the current situation of one of her home countries was really distressing.
The country was in distress, unemployment and inflation were skyrocketing. This time, the sea and land transportation routes were cut off, which dealt a heavy blow to Red Star's main industry (oil exports), leading to the collapse of almost the entire national economy.
"Let's talk about something good. Their military is trapped. But we have hired a lot of civilian armed forces and those unrestrained top combat forces this time."
