    Chapter 1289 – Start of World War


    After a month of intense war, Honolulu was already an empty city.


    The once prosperous and busy streets showed no signs of human activity. Only rubbish, dirty water, and destroyed doors were left. The doors shook in the wind, giving out sad creaks.


    Only on the city wall in the distance could one hear the sounds of cannon fire, showing that this city was still alive.


    Ouyang Shuo stepped out of the teleportation formation. Looking out at the broken city in front of him, his eyes shook. As they say, “It is easy to destroy but hard to build up.” It took numerous years to build a good city but only a month to destroy it.


    The Empire’s strategy of letting wars be far away from the maind could not be more correct.


    After a month of battle, less than 30 thousand Tiger legion corps members remained in Honolulu to defend it. The other members either died in battle or were injured and sent back to receive treatment through the teleportation formation.


    At 3pm, Ouyang Shuo took ast longing look at Honolulu before bringing all the soldiers to leave through the teleportation formation.


    Who knows when Ouyang Shuo would be able to step on thisnd once more.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, the 3rd month of the 8th year had arrived.


    The ice slowly melted and the spring spirit spread out. The global icy situation slowly melted along with the rising temperature. A nervous tension arose.


    The first to strike was the Dawson Dynasty.


    Surprisingly, they did not strike South America or Congo. Instead, they chose to attack North America.


    Their target was Maple Dynasty in the north.


    In history, America and Canada, these two North America nations, were like rtives, closely connected to one another. Many times, due to political constraints, Canada yed the role of follower.


    America was the bodyguard of Canada.


    However, in the game world, the situation was totally different.


    The Dawson Dynasty was the top power of Silver Hand and was the absolute core. Meanwhile, the Maple Dynasty was the backbone of the Azure Badge camp.


    The two dynasties were destined to go head to head.


    Since the 8th year of Gaia had arrived, Ouyang Shuo was not the only one feeling rushed; the two organizations felt it too.


    Just as Zhang Liang had analyzed, the Great Xia Emperor Dynasty could not be stopped. No matter what the two organizations tried, they could not prevent the rise of Great Xia, much less take it down.


    Under such circumstances, since there were only a few more years, the two organizations would attack one another to increase their profits. Such a matter was not surprising.


    In the end, the two were opposing presences.


    It was only because of Ouyang Shuo that the two of them had a honeymoon period.


    Now, that honeymoon period hade to an end.


    Jack was the first to show animosity. Apart from strategic needs, it was also because of the pressure of Great Xia expanding in Asia, which made him want topete with Ouyang Shuo.


    The goal of the Dawson Dynasty was really clear; before further increasing their global influence, they wanted to unify North America to stabilize their back garden first.


    Unifying North America was Jack’s 8th year goal.


    North America was split into three. The north was the Maple Dynasty, the middle was the Dawson Dynasty, and the south was the Mayan Dynasty, which also belonged to Azure Badge.


    The two Azure Badge dynasties pincered Dawson Dynasty in the middle.


    However, from a strength standpoint, the Dawson Dynasty could go one against two and still take the lead.


    From a strategic standpoint, the Mayan Dynasty posed more threat than the Maple Dynasty.


    The reason was simple.


    The lifeline of the Dawson Dynasty came from the Mississippi River. There was an apt sentence for this, “The one who controls the Mississippi River controls America; the one that controls America controls North America.”


    America in history started from the east and truly became a strong country after it crossed the Appchian Mountains and entered the Mississippi River region.


    Hence, one could see how important its position was.


    In American history, this period of west venturing had broken the power bnce in the world. This exceptional treasure ind was expanded and developed by the Americans at a shocking rate; they even destroyed it.


    Countless Indian natives and wild animals were ughtered.


    In the words of the Americans, “We will kill anything that challenges our power” this was the American spirit.


    How ironic.


    Compared to China, which spent thousands of years farming, America developed North America in just a hundred years, what a stunning feat.


    The Mississippi River watered a third of the Dawson Dynasty’snd.


    The convenient ind river system ensured that the Dawson Dynasty’s vast ind regions would have an exit point so that its products could be transported to other parts of the world at a very low cost.


    The strong rise of their agricultural production was also due to the convenience of transport.


    Inparison, although the Siberia region under the Romanov Dynasty wasrge, it did not have a developed river transport system, so its value fell.


    However, the entry of the Mississippi River into the ocean was located in Mexico bay. If the Mayan Dynasty controlled this point, it would be fatal for the Dawson Dynasty.


    Luckily, Jack had foresight. Before the Mayan Dynasty was formed, the Dawson Dynasty had gained full control of the bay.


    Not only that, he also went a step further to control the Panama Canal.


    However, that also added uncertainties.


    Once the Mayan Dynasty started a war over control of the bay, it would be a time bomb for the Dawson Dynasty.


    Hence, from a normal strategic perspective, if the Dawson Dynasty wanted to unify North America, it should attack the Mayan Dynasty first to take care of this cancer.


    Inparison, the Maple Dynasty had arge amount ofnd but rtively few people. Moreover, most of itsnd could not be used for farming. Its poption was gathered in the border region near the Dawson Dynasty and was not enough to cause much of threat to the Dawson Dynasty.


    However, Jack did the exact opposite.


    For the reason behind this choice, in Ouyang Shuo’s eyes, it should be self-confidence.


    Jack was confident that while taking down the Maple Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty could defend against the strike of the Mayan Dynasty. Since that was the case, who was the first and who was second did not matter.


    Anyways, after he took down the Maple Dynasty, he would turn around to take care of the Mayan Dynasty.


    Out of the three dynasties in North America, the Dawson Dynasty had 30 million yers, the Maple Dynasty only had four million, and the Mayan Dynasty had over 15 million yers. Its poption was half of the Dawson Dynasty’s.


    Luckily, north of the Mayan Dynasty, where it was connected to the Dawson Dynasty, was a desert region.


    If the Mayan Dynasty wanted to join hands with the Maple Dynasty, it would have to pay a heavy price. Who knows if Azure Badge would have such determination or not?


    All in all, for this next period of time, the mes of war would rise up in North America.
