Chapter 666: Chapter 665: The Heaven Destruction Plan
"The Federation Army hasn’t retreated yet?"
Yang Fei asked Jones.
Jones nodded and then glanced at the latest news before saying, "They’ve been encircling Korea and Japan, occasionally there are some minor frictions, but no large-scale conflicts have erupted. It seems they’re somewhat cautious, after all, many of their troops are still under the control of these two countries."
"What’s the direction of the international public opinion?" Yang Fei asked again.
Jones replied, "The majority is advocating for international peace. That’s probably why the Federation doesn’t dare to start a major war. However, recently the voices from the European Union have been gaining volume, and they want to defend the Federation’s status as the international hegemon, which could likely lead to war."
Upon finishing, Jones added, "Of course, these are just the reasons on the surface. Actually, the real reason is that the behind-the-scenes capitalists controlling the Federation are quite displeased with the provocations from those two countries to the east. Based on some reliable information, the Federation may still choose to resolve this issue by force in the end."
A slight heaviness settled in the hearts of Yang Fei and the others.
If it was indeed decided to resolve the issue through force, then the third world war would inevitably begin.
Had the Korea Conglomerate, represented by Li Xuanyu, and those guys in Japan miscalculated?
Had they underestimated the Federation’s commitment to defending its hegemony?
In light of all this, hadn’t they made early plans?
Yang Fei became contemplative.
As he thought about leaving Korea, he remembered Li Xuanyu revealing information about how capital consortia controlled the world from behind the scenes.
From Li Xuanyu’s tone at the time, as one of the leaders of a world-class powerful conglomerate, she seemed to have the qualifications to converse with those Western World conglomerate bigwigs. It appeared as if everything had been negotiated properly to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.
But now, based on Jones’s information, the situation might get out of hand.
He couldn’t help but think about calling Li Xuanyu to ask about the situation, but after considering it, he decided against it.
With Meris’s death, the revenge actions of the International Madman could be said to have come to an end.
Yang Fei suddenly felt a void in his heart, a fleeting sense of being aimless and lost.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and began to make plans for the future.
First, he needed to make an accurate judgment on the upcoming global situation and discern how the future trend could best be leveraged to his advantage.
But for now, no one could clearly say how the future situation would change.
After a slight hesitation, Yang Fei asked Jones, Jamie, and Jie Er, "Are you guys going home?"
Jie Er shrugged indifferently, "I’m not going back for now. I want to see the world."
Jones smiled, "We’ll do it together."
Jamie looked at them with envy and said with a bitter smile, "I might have to go home first to deal with some matters."
Jie Er and Jones immediately asked if he needed help, while Yang Fei also looked at him.
Jamie hastily shook his head, "Thanks, but it’s just some minor household issues, I can handle it myself."
"If you need help, call." Yang Fei said, looking at him.
Jie Er and Jones nodded along.
Jamie looked at the three of them with gratitude and said with a laugh, "Rest assured, I won’t be shy if I really need help. What about you, Boss Tang, what are your plans now?"
Jie Er and Jones looked at Yang Fei with curiosity.
Yang Fei had no intention of hiding anything from them, "After I return, I should head to the Hidden Sect World. No matter how the world changes in the future, I think having a powerful force in hand is never a mistake."
"If the world really does change dramatically, I think you, Boss Tang, will definitely be able to carve out a new realm for yourself," Jones said sincerely.
"I’m always ready for your call. We’re brothers for life," Jie Er said with a laugh.
Jamie nodded in agreement.
Yang Fei responded with a smile, saying that he would definitely call his brothers to join him in contending for the world in the new era.
Jones, Jie Er, and Jamie bid farewell and left.
After they left, Xu Yunshan turned to Yang Fei and inquired, "Are you really planning to go to the Hidden Sect?"
Yang Fei nodded.
Tong Yunshu had already gone inside, and originally, he did not intend to interfere with her development in the Hidden Sect World. But now that he had fallen out with Qin Yanyang, he felt an inexplicable loss and loneliness deep inside. He especially wanted to be with Tong Yunshu, seeking some redemption and consolation for his soul.
"Can we go together?" Xu Yunshan immediately asked, his words tinged with a hint of anticipation.
Yang Fei glanced at the three of them and nodded, "Of course."
He thought of Xu Jian.
He had no idea whether Xu Jian’s attempt at the Body Seizing Technique with Duanmu Cheng had been successful or not.
If it hadn’t, they were probably both dead by now.
If it had, after so much time, he should have shown up in the Hidden Sect World by now.
The Xu brothers’ main purpose for entering the Hidden Sect World was to find out the whereabouts of their ancestor.
Finally, Yang Fei looked towards Umekawa Taro, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Umekawa, you have a deep-seated vendetta to settle, and we all remember it, but right now Japan is completely locked down and in a tense standoff with the Federation. If we go to help you take your revenge at this moment, it might trigger an uncontrollable series of events."
Umekawa Taro nodded, "I understand."
Yang Fei looked into his eyes, "Do you really understand?"
Umekawa Taro smiled, "There’s a saying in Divine Continent that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years. Moreover, I stand no chance of winning if I go back alone. Naturally, I will wait until my brothers are free to accompany me. My revenge, if pursued, must be achieved in one fell swoop, leaving the enemy no chance to fight back."
Yang Fei nodded, "That’s right. It’s good that you see it that way. Rest assured, I will definitely help you get your revenge."
Umekawa Taro nodded firmly.
He never doubted Yang Fei’s promises.
Without delay, the five of them did not linger in the United Arab Emirates but flew to the Eastern Divine Continent.
...
Three hours earlier.
Near the Bermuda Triangle.
Deep in the ocean, three nuclear submarines moved swiftly toward the Bermuda Triangle, like giant sea creatures gliding through the water.
The deep sea was devoid of light, enveloped in utter darkness.
On the side of the massive submarines, the red sun emblem was emblazoned, but it seemed somewhat dim and damaged, perhaps due to years of corrosion by seawater.
Inside the submarines, those dressed as Japanese soldiers had fervent and resolute expressions.
They were all bare-chested, with white bandanas tied around their foreheads. In the center of each bandana was a bright red sun.
"Long live the Great Japan Empire!"
"Long live the Great Japan Empire!"
"Long live the Great Japan Empire!"
After a few rousing cries, the colonel at the forefront, with an excited voice, said, "We’ve navigated the endless deep sea and darkness for nearly a century, all for the sacred moment that is about to dawn. Today, we will destroy the Western Heaven and initiate a grand era, welcoming the true rise of the Great Japan Empire."
Similar fervent declarations were being made within the other two gigantic submarines.
These three submarines were named ’Heaven Plan.’
Their respective code numbers were 1, 2, and 3.
Starting from one year before Japan’s surrender in the last century, these three submarines submerged into the deep sea, moving in secrecy.
Apart from routine crew changes and the supply of nuclear power and necessities, the Heaven Plan submarines had never made contact with the outside world.
Even the resupplying and crew rotations were secretly conducted in the vast ocean.
Only three people knew of the existence of these three submarines.
When these three individuals agreed to initiate the Heaven Destruction Plan, the submarines would truly emerge to complete their final mission.
Yamamoto Rentu was one of the three leaders who had devised this plan back in the day.
With Japan’s move to control Federation soldiers underway, the Heaven Destruction Plan was also placed on the agenda.
Japan was very aware that given the Federation’s current hegemonic status, it was impossible to coerce them into withdrawing their troops merely with these controlled soldiers.
The only way to prevent war from breaking out was to plunge the Western World into complete chaos.
With the destruction of Heaven and the descent of deities, the power shift in the Western World would become the Federation’s greatest problem.
