I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 160: The Eve of the Gaoshan Island War

Shen Yingxiong returned to the transport ship with an angry face. He walked straight to a room and slammed the door shut.

After entering the room, he became more agitated and began to frantically grab objects around him and throw them around.

He kept cursing, "Damn Yan Country, how dare they use us as their pawns!"

The soldiers standing guard at the door heard the noise coming from the room, but they did not have the courage to go in and stop Shen Yingxiong.

Just then, the chief of staff heard the unusual noise and hurried over.

"Commander, what happened? Why are you so angry?" the chief of staff asked with concern.

Shen Yingxiong stopped what he was doing, gasped and said, "What else could be the reason?"

"We originally agreed to attack Gaoshan Island together, but we didn't expect that Yan Country would reach some kind of agreement with Dongyang Country."

"Now they are asking our National Defense Army to fight alone against the two divisions and two brigades of Dongyang State."

The chief of staff frowned, thought for a moment and then asked, "So, Commander, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Yingxiong clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "Now that we have come to this point, there is no other way except to fight to the death with the Dongyang army."

The chief of staff said worriedly: "General, if the two armies are allowed to fight one-on-one, the final winner will have the right to occupy Gaoshan Island."

"If we win, everything will be fine."

"But if we fail, I'm afraid the combined fleet will immediately retreat without any regard for our safety."

Shen Yingxiong took a deep breath and said, "Don't I understand this truth?"

"But now there is no other choice but to move forward."

"Go and get ready, Chief of Staff."

The Chief of Staff nodded and turned away: "Yes, Commander!"

I don’t know who spread this news to countries around the world.

But what is certain is that the country that received the news the fastest was Dazhou.

When the president and vice president of the great state saw these photos,

The warships in these pictures all belong to Yan State, but they are flying the flag of Dazhou State.

This made them very confused, why did this happen?

Does Yan State want to start a war?

Or are there other reasons?

The President and the Vice President began to think about this question and tried to find an answer.

After some discussion, they came to a conclusion.

The reason for these warships may be because of Shen Yingxiong.

However, the President and Vice President did not have much time to think about these things.

They had just received news that the National Defense Army and the Dongyang Army would have a one-on-one duel.

In addition, according to reports, neither the mixed fleet nor the Dongyang fleet will interfere in this duel.

Even Dongyang’s Army Aviation will not be involved.

Faced with this situation, the President and Vice President felt helpless.

Therefore, they can only watch the situation develop and wait for the results to emerge.

In every corner of the state, groups of newsboys, holding freshly-published newspapers, happily shuttled among the crowds.

The newspapers in their hands seemed like precious treasures, held high, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Extra, Extra, breaking news!"

"The National Defense Army is about to engage in a one-on-one duel with the Dongyang Army!"

"At the same time, Yan Nation's fleet actually changed to the flag of Dazhou Nation. What does this mean?"

"And it seems that some kind of agreement has been reached between Dongyang and Yan."

"Extra Edition, Extra Edition..."

The newsboys shouted at the top of their lungs, and their voices rose and fell, echoing throughout the city.

People gathered around and couldn't wait to ask the newsboys for newspapers.

"Give me one."

"Give me one."

"All, all!"

The newsboys were busy as hell and the newspapers in their hands were quickly distributed.

The people who got the newspapers immediately began to read them carefully, with expressions of surprise, confusion and excitement on their faces.

As the news spread, people began to gather together and enthusiastically discuss this shocking news.

At this time, some people also noticed the commander of the National Protection Army and began to talk about it.

"Commander Shen? Isn't this the hero Shen? He was the one who robbed the imperial tomb!" said a commoner.

"His behavior makes him a sinner to our country!" another citizen echoed.

"Forget it, forget it, what's the point of talking about this now?"

"And now Shen Yingxiong is going to challenge the Dongyang army in a duel. No matter what, I still hope he can win." An old man sighed.

"Bah, tomb robbers are tomb robbers. Do they want to defeat the Dongyang Kingdom's army? Dream on!" a young man said disdainfully.

For a moment, various sounds came one after another.

Even some people in the big states started to gamble openly.

In a restaurant, someone set up a gambling table and shouted, "Come on, place your bets, place your bets, place your bets!"

"If you bet on Dongyang to win, you'll get 0.5 to 1, and if you bet on the National Defense Army to win, you'll get 1 to 1."

People gathered around, some of them excitedly shouted: "I bet on Dongyang to win."

"I bet on Dongyang to win."

Others chose to support the National Protection Army, shouting: "I bet on the National Protection Army to win."

The people of these big states don't care about the situation of the National Protection Army at all, nor do they understand what national honor and disgrace are. They actually use the war to gamble.

This behavior is heartbreaking and disappointing.

They forgot that the National Protection Army was also their own country's army and had made contributions to the country.

Although the National Protection Army may have had some bad behavior in the past.

But now they are about to go to war with the Kingdom of Dongyang.

However, these people did not care at all and instead used the war as a form of entertainment and an opportunity to make money.

What’s even more infuriating is that most people support Dongyang State.

They seemed to have forgotten that the Dongyang Kingdom was an invader and brought great disaster and suffering to the great state.

After all, the National Protection Army is the army of their own country and they should be respected and supported.

However, these people chose to support Dongyang Kingdom, which makes people wonder whether they still have national consciousness and national pride.

Many people strongly condemned the behavior of these people.

They believe that these people have no moral bottom line and are not worthy of being called citizens of a big state.
