#606 - It's so domineering
Just like that, the European coalition, along with their awakened ones, was gone.
In a short half-day, their attitude underwent a complete 180-degree reversal, and now they were busy making compromises and seeking peace with the Huaxia government.
Only on the eastern front were the island nations starting to feel trapped, unsure of what to do.
They wanted to attack, but they feared that Liang Yue might suddenly take action against them. They wanted to retreat, but their million-strong army had just landed…
To retreat silently like this, not to mention the strange criticisms they would face internationally, even their own domestic public opinion would be unacceptable.
They simply couldn't explain this kind of thing to their citizens.
At this time, Japan was also affected by the American economic crisis and the Great Depression. Domestic conflicts were acute, and they urgently needed an outlet to shift their own conflicts and attention, and to consume excess inventory.
However, reality plunged them into a dilemma…
Unable to advance or retreat, they were stuck there.
It wasn't until three days later, when a sudden gunshot and the assassination of a high-ranking general who had come to inspect the front lines occurred, that the situation began to change.
Subsequently, gunshots began to rain down. At first, they were scattered and sparse, but then they gradually increased until they became extremely dense, with artillery fire filling the sky!
Seeing this situation, the commanders on both sides knew that the situation was starting to spiral out of control. Whether to fight or not was no longer up to them.
At least in the current situation, they couldn't allow their troops to suffer losses in vain.
As a result, the war between Huaxia and Japan officially began!
Initially, both sides may have had some reservations.
The Huaxia side was restrained by their superiors and dared not go all out, while the Japanese military leaders were afraid that their million-strong force would suddenly disappear, so they didn't exert their full strength.
But as the fighting continued, the situation on the battlefield was no longer up to them. Under the catalysis of various complex factors, both sides slowly became bloodthirsty.
Half a month later, facing the overwhelming army, many parts of Shandong, the entire Shanghai and its surrounding areas had fallen. Using these as bases, the Japanese army began to divide its forces and advance in multiple directions towards the north and south.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse!
Although preparations had been made in various places along the way for the Japanese invasion, and many towns and strategic locations were guarded by military forces.
However, whether in terms of troop training or overall equipment levels, the Huaxia army at this time was much worse than the Japanese army.
After only another month, the entire Shandong province fell, and Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu and other places had also lost half of their territory.
Even the former Huaxia capital, Beiping City, had been easily occupied by the Japanese army.
At this point, both Japan and Nanjing understood that what Liang Yue had said before was indeed the truth.
He said he wouldn't care, and he didn't…
Thus, under the urging of some ambition and small sparks, the Japanese army, which had been stationed on the Korean border, also began to invade Huaxia territory in large numbers.
For a time, the Northeast, North China, and Central China were all in urgent need of assistance, and the flames of war began to spread throughout the eastern region.
Faced with this grim situation, people from all walks of life couldn't sit still and shouted loudly, urging the Nanjing government to unite all domestic forces and resolutely resist the Japanese devils' invasion!
They could no longer focus solely on attacking dissidents and weakening the country's strength!
Unfortunately, Old Jiang didn't see it that way. From beginning to end, he believed that it was common sense to pacify the interior before resisting foreign aggression.
In his eyes, the threat posed by another domestic force to him far outweighed the Japanese's current acts of aggression.
Old Jiang, who had worked with that force before, had already witnessed its terrifying grassroots organizational and mobilization capabilities. If he couldn't guarantee continuous suppression until it was completely crushed.
Then his rule would face an unprecedented crisis in the future.
It was with this kind of thinking and weighing that Old Jiang was still stubbornly sticking to his own way, turning a blind eye to the Japanese army's offensive and passively resisting.
He was still desperately encircling and suppressing the other domestic force, even though they had expressed their willingness to join hands in resisting Japan, he resolutely refused to compromise.
Thus, in the winter of 1936.
Location: Xi'an, it had just snowed, and the weather was very cold.
Old Jiang was surrounded by troops led by two military generals in his residence…
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar at home and abroad.
Then, not long after, with the efforts and mediation of people from all walks of life, Old Jiang finally issued a declaration to stop the civil war and unite in resisting Japan!
Since then, Huaxia finally reached a unified opinion internally and began to unite against foreign enemies.
During the process, Liang Yue had been in seclusion in Zhenbei City.
In particular, their physical qualities, after years of body refinement and cultivation, as well as Liang Yue's occasional assistance, had also reached the peak of the Houtian realm.
Compared to when Liang Yue and the others had just arrived in this world, Jingxiang-sensei, Saeko-senpai and others were much stronger.
Now, their physical qualities, like their Qi refining cultivation, had reached a bottleneck, and they could only continue to become stronger after breaking through the shackles and advancing to the Xiantian realm.
As for the others, especially Nana, Alwyn, Xiaozhao, Yang Buhui and others' direct disciples, were mostly the same.
In recent years, under their careful cultivation and the irrigation of various spiritual medicines, their strength had reached the peak of the Houtian realm.
Many of the inner and outer disciples had also made great progress.
Those who were approved to leave the mountain gate this time for training all had at least the strength of the middle stage of the Houtian realm.
And those responsible for leading the team were directly Xiantian masters such as Nari Kou, Saeko-senpai, Xiaozhao, and Hinata. Only Alwyn stayed behind to be responsible for guarding the sect.
It was a little thin, so Liang Yue came back to sit in the sect in case of sneak attacks by villains.
In fact, in recent years, not only had the strength of his disciples advanced rapidly, but Liang Yue himself had also done the same.
Since the previous "Creation of Fortune" introductory Qi gathering method was completed, Liang Yue's cultivation speed had entered another level.
As long as the method was used, the lotus-shaped Qi gathering method constructed with him as the center would quietly penetrate the barriers and obstacles around him.
It continuously absorbed energy and matter from all directions, different spaces, and different dimensions, for transformation and induction for his cultivation.
It can be said that, with this Qi gathering method, Liang Yue at least in the near future, no longer had to worry about insufficient cultivation resources.
Because, in terms of his current cultivation efficiency, he simply didn't need that much energy.
To give an inappropriate example, Liang Yue at this time was like a small cultivator who had just entered the path of immortal cultivation, and had not even been able to condense the golden core, but was placed in the cultivation environment of the True Immortal Realm.
In this case, even if his own Qi refining technique was not very efficient, the speed of cultivation and the speed of strength advancement must not be slow.
Therefore, unknowingly, Liang Yue had now advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!
It was so overbearing…
