To get to the bottom of it, whether the Tiaoman Empire could defeat the Locke Republic within three months, and whether it could capture the Kingdom of Viking according to plan, had nothing to do with Bai Zhizhan.
That was a matter of ground warfare. Not to mention that Bai Zhizhan might not understand it, even insiders had no room to intervene.
What Bai Zhizhan needed to consider was another issue.
Although open strategies were considered the just path, and covert strategies were viewed as crooked, and evil cannot prevail over good, the biggest problem with an open strategy was that it left no room for secrets.
As mentioned before, once the Tiaoman Empire initiated its lightning strike, the alliance among the three giants could no longer be concealed.
The question was: Would the Newland Federation still sit back and watch?
If not, then when would the Newland Federation enter the war, how would they participate, and how would they plan their two-ocean strategy after joining?
