“...”

The ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Mantogol Empire still failed to hold out，when the Alliance Army reached the gates it announced Unconditional Surrender，and the defending troops laid down their weapons to await the Alliance Army’s takeover and disarmament。

There ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was no other choice，a low-yield nuclear bomb was detonated above a satellite city of Sigloy，this time the yield was not large，with a total power of approximately 5000 tons of TNT Equivalent，but it still caused tens of thousands of casualties，while also proving that the Alliance truly possessed the ability to mass-produce this kind of weapon。

This was actually the final one in the Alliance’s nuclear arsenal，after all this route had already been proven feasible，and there would be even more powerful ones afterward，so there was no need to waste too many resources on the current nuclear weapons。

However this was already enough，you could say that Orcs were simple-minded，but that absolutely had nothing to do with being stupid，they were even more accepting than Humans of the principle that the strong were supreme。

They did not dare and did not want to gamble on whether the Alliance still had a third weapon of that kind in stock，after all they had fought for so long that they understood the Alliance’s nature to some extent。

Just like how the Tiger Tank’s main battlefield was basically the Mantogol Orc War Zone，large creatures on the level of Behemoths、Trolls、Cyclopes could not be defeated by Shermans and Little Mantous，while the Tiger Tank was just right。

From a dozen or so at the beginning，to dozens and then hundreds later，from one-on-one to a Golden Behemoth being surrounded and beaten by a team of Tiger Tanks。

Whatever it was，as long as it appeared on the battlefield once，the next time it appeared it would be everywhere like cabbages flooding the market，they truly could not withstand this kind of exponential fission-style troop expansion。

No matter how unwilling they were or how loud the internal opposition became it was useless，there would always be some who favored surrender。

As for the diehards among the Long-lived Races，such as the Treant Race whose heads were filled with a tangle of branches，they were still clamoring at the Alliance about mutual destruction。

Although they were not fortunate enough to receive a nuclear bomb，there was an unlimited supply of Solidified Gasoline Bombs，after two rounds of airstrikes burned away 40% of the forest in their Racial Territory，the moisture in their heads was finally baked dry and their intelligence reclaimed the high ground。

The Britian Empire was not having an easy time either，under hints from the Alliance the Western Liberation Alliance that had been lying flat in the west all this time began becoming active，successively driving away two Regional Ministers dispatched by the Empire to the west，in practice declaring complete independence。

And very quickly it issued its own Declaration of Independence to the world，announcing that it would soon establish a nation，and received the earliest support from Alliance-aligned nations led by the Alliance authorities。

By comparison the Wallis Empire belonging to the Dragon Race was actually the most troublesome，because the other side had not actually suffered very great losses in strength。

Even after being dismantled，because they all effectively belonged to the Dragon Race，there would not be much difference from before。

Mitia’s countermeasure to this was to place them at the very bottom of the future industrial division system，which was to say a commodity dumping ground and economic plunder zone。

The Alliance needed an excuse for it to jump up by itself and then crush it to death again，afterward it would be easy to deal with。

During this period Mitia also specifically met with a group of people，once the discussions were finished，her plan could begin to be implemented。

“Aiyo my darling girl...I like how you look now，you’re almost exactly like my granddaughter when she was young。”

The white-haired old grandmother hugged Mitia，rubbing and kneading her，the affection on her face could not be concealed at all，or rather she had absolutely no intention of concealing it。

The old grandmother’s surname was Ovinia，she was that former Royal Princess of Ovinia，Mitia’s Great-aunt，they had previously met secretly in private once before，and exchanged brief pleasantries。

But at that time Ovinia had already completely disappeared，so their relationship could not easily be brought into the open，although this Princess of Ovinia did not mind，outsiders could potentially use her identity to make an issue of it。

Later with Mitia’s intentional and unintentional assistance，New Astal successfully unified the Peninsula and established a unified regime，the Kotna Federation，the name did not carry any particular meaning，it was simply that the former capital had become the name of the nation。

And this time having her Great-aunt travel thousands of miles to Suria was naturally to prepare for the upcoming division of spoils，ah no，whatever it should be called，anyway it was preparation for the International Peace Conference。

The surrender of the Mantogol Empire represented the disappearance of the strongest opponent blocking the spearhead of the Alliance Army，the entire Allied Nations’ forward positions collapsed，and no matter how unwilling the other nations were，surrender was the only path left to them。

There was already no time or barrier left for them to continue organizing and mobilizing the People，while the Alliance’s nuclear bombs also caused them to lose the confidence to continue organizing and mobilizing。

After all nuclear bombs might not be able to destroy their entire nation，but destroying a city，an army，or decapitating a Command Center was effortless。

Once your army was deployed，physically erasing that army would be more than easy enough，while logistical transit cities would also become important strike targets，then mobilization itself would have no meaning whatsoever，using nuclear weapons as the deterrent guarantee of Absolute Peace was absolutely not mere talk。

Actually the postwar division of the world was an extremely troublesome and time-consuming matter，the Allied Nations signing Unconditional Surrender Documents did not mean they would fully cooperate with all of your work，during inventories and investigations every faction was intentionally or unintentionally creating obstacles。

And there was no way to pursue responsibility for this kind of thing，because after defeat and surrender the entire governing system had completely lost its original functions and was now in total chaos。

But it did not matter anyway，Mitia had never expected this group of Nobles to truly complete the transfer and handover of power peacefully，what she needed to do was simply dismantle in practice their power to mobilize the nation as an Instrument of Violence，the rest would naturally be done by another Class。

And for the specific personnel responsible for dismantling the Allied Nations，the Alliance handed the task to Ernesto。

And Mitia~

After Ernesto and the business owners mobilized the common people at the bottom of the Allied Nations to hold Universal Referendums for independence，it would be time for her to meet with the Capitalist Business Owners of the various nations，and determine the future cooperative division of labor in the economic sphere。

And the Alliance’s future Continental Revival Plan to aid the Main Continent would also require this kind of talent to aid the Continent，take deep root and sprout across the Continent，and enrich the ideological foundation。

Continental Revival Plan

After dismantling the various Kingdoms and Empires，and completing de facto National Self-determination and Independence，the Alliance would deeply participate in the recovery and reconstruction of the nations of the Main Continent。

By issuing large amounts of interest-free loans to the governments of the various small nations，this money would be earmarked for specific purposes and flow back into the Alliance，where it would be converted into industrial products，equipment and machine tools，commodity demand and so on before circulating outward。
