At last, Lin Shiping combined all speculations and arrived at a fairly definitive conclusion.
Within the next three to six months, the probability of a large-scale war erupting in the Southern Subcontinent exceeded 80%, although the Newland Republic would not directly send troops.
Simply put, the war would be conducted through Fanluo Country's efforts to unify the entire Southern Subcontinent.
Through diplomatic efforts, some time could be bought, but as long as the Newland Republic was willing to invest sufficient resources, the outbreak of war couldn't be prevented.
The rationale was also straightforward: the Liangxia Empire would never allow Fanluo Country to dominate the Southern Subcontinent.
As for the direction of Aus, Lin Shiping wasn't too worried.
