Chapter 1328: Chapter 431: The Troops Have Yet to Move, Public Opinion Leads the Way (Part 2)

Do I really need to establish such a new military force?

But will my father support me?

Beep, beep, beep!

Just as he was pondering this, several news alerts suddenly broke through his silent notifications and popped up in his field of vision.

Lancaster frowned, preparing to close the news with some annoyance, only to be shocked by its content.

[Breaking News: Huang Ban has announced they have identified the true culprit behind the assassination of Huang Ban Sanlang. The killer is... him?!]

[The assassin of Huang Ban Sanlang is from Europe? Nonsense!]

[The Kujira has been activated; Huang Ban announces participation in the Cuban war]

[Shocking! Huang Ban and Horizon Corporation have resolved their differences and formed a defense alliance]

——————

The leader of the European Community is Germany, but the headquarters is located in Switzerland.

The headquarters meeting hall was semi-circular, with long desks adorned with the flags of various European countries in front of the podium, and the representatives’ holographic projections were all seated.

They whispered among themselves, discussing their own matters.

They weren’t surprised by the UK initiating a conference on the Cuban conflict, but that didn’t mean they were particularly interested.

The war was started by you Brits, and we didn’t get much of the Cuban drug market share, yet now you’re asking us to help? It’s a bit of a joke.

Especially for smaller countries like Serbia, Sweden, and Lithuania, which already have a limited presence. They can’t influence government institutions through large companies, and although they are part of the European Community, they still maintain some autonomy.

This makes them particularly opposed to drug proliferation, which not only disrupts social order but also harms their already limited industrial competitiveness.

They wouldn’t consider joining the war unless you’re paying, Brits.

When the UK representative ascended to the podium, and the new chairman called the meeting to order, the hall finally fell into complete silence, and the journalists held their breath, focusing on this crucial moment.

The UK representative glanced briefly at the manuscript before beginning to speak.

"Since the dissolution of the United States in 2008, the European Community has been leading the world stage for nearly seventy years. We have always strived to maintain world peace. Due to certain countries and companies supporting various organizations for their own interests, launching one terrorist attack after another, global terrorism has become rampant..."

"Today, we must face the reality that some are attempting to undermine the peace system carefully maintained by the European Community, launching a blatant invasion against a sovereign state, bringing deep suffering to the local people, even glamorizing the invasion on social media, and slandering the Cuban government..."

"Against these evildoers, the European Community has the responsibility and obligation to punish them. Here, I propose to launch military and economic sanctions against Horizon Corporation and New America."

Who knows if he was smiling when he said this, but Lin Miao on the large screen was certainly smiling.

You sometimes have to admire politicians’ shamelessness; they’re a group who see everything clearly in their hearts but can so unabashedly twist the truth with their words.

If it were an ordinary company or country being treated this way, just seeing their name on the blacklist would be enough to terrify them.

They have absolutely no chance of getting the truth out past the European Community’s media suppression, only being strangled by an overwhelming wave of news.

Even their own citizens would be influenced by public opinion, truly believing their government is dictatorial or tyrannical and then cheer along.

Only when the country becomes a ruin in the war, and a truly supported dictator begins a great purge, do they realize how wrong they were.

But by then, it’s too late.

Unfortunately for them, the voice of the media is now in Lin Miao’s hands, and Voice of the Horizon is something the European Community can do nothing to suppress.

Of course, they could brand Voice of the Horizon as illegal software and conduct house-to-house searches worldwide, treating anyone who downloads the software as an accomplice of Horizon Corporation, arresting and interrogating them.

Thus making everyone aware of the matter who initially knew nothing about it.

The most crucial thing is, Lin Miao still has an ace up his sleeve that he hasn’t played yet.

The UK representative continued speaking on the podium for nearly half an hour before suddenly being interrupted.

"Sorry, just a moment."

He apologized and pressed his earpiece, as if hearing some shocking news, his pupils contracting, and he whispered in surprise,

"What?"

At the same time, representatives below also received the news, and the previously quiet meeting room suddenly became noisy.

Then, with an even more serious expression, he continued,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I must announce to you something more severe. The situation has begun to deteriorate. Just now, Huang Ban and Horizon Corporation signed a defensive alliance treaty and are preparing to formally invade Cuba."

If it was previously just a single Horizon Corporation, the problem wasn’t too severe, with New America and Military Science only supporting from behind. But if Huang Ban, a top-five world military giant, joins, then the situation changes dramatically.

This could be the largest hot conflict since the Fourth Corporate War, and it might evolve into the Fifth Corporate War.

Even more likely, Huang Ban wants to use this opportunity to challenge the European Community’s power status.

Even to consolidate the European Community’s supreme status in the world, these countries cannot sit by idly.

Their wealth was amassed by the European Community’s orbital fleet and the Orokin system.

Soon, under the UK representative and chairman’s announcement, the vote on the Cuban resolution began.
