Chapter 282 The Fall of the Germinal Organization (2/2)
On 7th December 688 in the Galaxy calendar, the frontline finally sent back important news on the war.
The Germinal Organization had lost all control except the area around the headquarters. The other bases had all been destroyed.
Han Xiao received the notice, and Bennett invited him to meet up in Sanctuary One.
”The war against the Germinal Organization is finally coming to an end. The cards are reshuffled, and the Dark Net also needs to start looking at the new era,” Bennett said over a phone call.
After waiting for quite some time, the end of the war was finally in sight. The Six Nations were steady, and without any difficulty, they pushed the Germinal Organization to the brink of destruction. Han Xiao arranged all the work in Sanctuary Three and headed to Sanctuary One.
After a while, a helicopter landed on the roof of Sanctuary One. Bennett, who was waiting on the roof, laughed. ”This is the first time you've arrived before anyone else. This isn't like you.”
Han Xiao turned back to the chopper and said, ”Take off now. Waste all the fuel in this thing before we come back.”
Bennett was dumbfounded and quickly grabbed Han Xiao off the plane. He then said, ”The board meeting will take place after the war has officially ended. It will probably happen in the next few days.”
”How many days?”
”I'm still uncertain. The situation now is a bit complicated.” Bennett lowered his voice. ”It's hard for the situation to move forward.”
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
After they headed to the meeting room, Han Xiao asked, ”So, what's wrong?”
Bennett took out the intel and explained, ”In summary, we already cut off all the routes from the headquarters to the outside world. The Six Nations have completely trapped the Germinal Organization. However, the troops of the Six Nations are still far away from the area around the headquarters, and they have no intention of attacking.”
”Well since they already destroyed all the other bases, isn't it simple to just bombard the headquarters and end the war?” Han Xiao replied.
”Well, it is possible. After losing all the side bases, the Germinal Organization should not have enough anti-missile supplies and equipment to hold off the Six Nations. Even if their headquarters are hidden underground, it would still collapse under the explosion. But the reason the Six Nations didn't do so was because of another complicated issue.”
Bennett took out another document.
”Because of your intel, most of the nuclear warheads have been disabled, and the rest of the nuclear warheads have been carried back to the headquarters. Because of the limited supplies, they could not wipe out the entire army of the Six Nations. However, there are quite a number of nuclear warheads, and there would be devastating consequences to the climate of this planet if they went off. From research conducted by various meteorologists, if the nuclear warheads exploded at the same time, in the next five to fifteen years, the radiation will drastically worsen the climate of the world, and Andrea will be the highest radioactive place on the entire planet. It will turn into a wasteland where no living beings can survive. Under moral considerations, the Six Nations must migrate the entire population of Andrea to another land…”
”Second, during Germinal organization's retreat, they caught a lot of wanderers as hostage to prevent the Six Nations from bombarding the headquarters…” Bennett sighed. ”That's why there's division among the Six Nations.
”Raylen and Theseus suggested ignoring the consequences and the lives of the hostages and directly attacking the headquarters. Then they can finally get rid of their mortal enemy once and for all. Stardragon has yet to respond. Maple wanted to force the Germinal Organization to surrender, and Hesla suggested attacking the headquarters with ground troops and trying to save the hostages. As for Ordina… they used various excuses to oppose all kinds of attacks toward the Germinal Organization.”
Han Xiao was surprised. ”I understand all the concerns of the other nations, but what is Ordina trying to do? They want to back off after all the fighting?”
Bennett knocked on the table and replied, ”It is the last year of the term for Ordina's leader. Their political sphere has a lot of parties, so there are a lot of competitors for his position. If they can drag the war until the next year's election, they can use the reason of national security and war to automatically get elected for the next term.”
Han Xiao did not know what to say. ”That's a ballsy move… So, which side is the Six Nations leaning toward?”
”They want to try to make the enemy surrender. The Six Nations have their anti-missile defense system all the time, and that if the headquarters fires even one missile, they will attack and bombard the base. However, this is the worst outcome they can have. So, the Six Nations have sent a last message to the base, hoping that they will surrender and release the hostages. Then they will spare the lives of the Germinal Organization.”
Bennett then shook his head. ”But until now, the Germinal Organization still hasn't responded.”
