In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

"You've completely gone mad!"

Augustus abruptly pushed back his chair, stood up, and pointed at Andrzej, the representative of the Tulip Kingdom, and began to hurl insults.

"Six million people! That's not six million mutated rats!"

Do you think the Great Xia's expeditionary force is blind? Or do you think the Great Xia's intelligence network is just for show?

Andrzej leaned back in his chair, his face somber.

Andrzej leaned back in his chair, his face gloomy.

"Do you have a better way? To get the mobs on the ground to let us go, and also fill the 25% manpower shortage in Great Xia?"

"These are completely different things!"

Pierre slammed his fist on the table, forcefully silencing the two men's argument.

"Cleanse the surface? If you really release those millions of heavily armored mechs from below and indiscriminately mow them down, do you think you can wipe out six million wasteland survivors?"

Those who have survived a zombie horde are no longer afraid of death!

"If we don't kill them all, or if the Great Xia Expeditionary Force intervenes prematurely, we'll all be sent to the gallows!"

The conference room fell silent instantly.

These politicians have killed their own people before.

When civilians were abandoned in the early stages of the catastrophe, they didn't even blink an eye.

But the situation is different now, with a heavy sword called "Great Xia" hanging overhead.

What is Da Xia's attitude towards the "cleaning protocol"?

Nobody can be sure.

If they angered Great Xia, the expeditionary force would turn its cannons around, and there would be no survivors in Europe.

"That's too risky."

The representative of the Hans country, Stein, shook his head in denial.

"I disagree. The global program released by Great Xia clearly mentions the need to build a united front."

At this critical juncture, large-scale internal strife is something the Great Xia Dynasty will absolutely not stand idly by.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Andrzej retorted.

"Should we support them? Or wait until Great Xia takes over the defense and then hand us over to quell public anger?"

Boris Johnson dared to kill members of Parliament because he had the power. What do we have?

The meeting room was in an uproar.

The pro-war faction, the compromise faction, and the feigning death faction are all shifting blame to each other.

Ultimately, these politicians, who are used to operating behind the scenes, are all unwilling to take on the historical responsibility of signing the "Clean Deal" when it really comes down to taking drastic measures.

The decisive and ruthless approach that Boris Johnson took required extreme cruelty and courage.

All of these people are incredibly shrewd at calculating their own interests, but they lack the courage to overturn the table.

Finally, the holographic images went out one after another.

This high-level meeting, which would determine the fate of Europe, ended in discord amidst a chorus of mutual curses.

……

Daxia, the main base of Kunlun.

The small, high-level meeting room was filled with smoke.

Seated at the oval table were the heads of the External Liaison Department, the Strategic Department, and the core military leaders of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Li Guodong threw a decoding file and slammed it onto the conference table with a "thud".

"Have these foreigners lost their minds?"

He sneered, "A massive purge?"

They slaughtered all six million leaders of the survivors on the surface, just to prevent public outrage and to gather enough soldiers to meet the quota of 25%?

"This is a coded communication that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intercepted two hours ago."

The minister put down his cup and tapped his knuckles on the table.

"The sender is Augustus, the head of the Italian underground government. The Strategic Department has conducted multiple rounds of simulations, and the intelligence is highly likely to be accurate."

"That old bastard is clever enough to choose the greater good over his own."

A military officer with the rank of general scoffed.

"Sell out your allies completely, and get yourself a ticket to the Great Xia."

Li Guodong still found it absurd, "They can even bring themselves to harm their own people?"

"Don't underestimate the limits of politicians' ability to protect their vested interests."

The Foreign Minister opened the materials to supplement,

"The fact that Italy leaked this 'clean agreement,' which was known only to the highest levels of the pan-European Union, to Great Britain conveyed two key messages."

"First, the pan-European Union is severely divided and unable to reach a consensus."

"Secondly, Italy is submitting its pledge of allegiance."

Fearing repercussions, they wanted to bypass the alliance and integrate independently into the new global order dominated by Great Xia.

The military general sitting opposite him snorted coldly, his thick knuckles tapping the solid wood tabletop.

"These spineless cowards!"

The general's tone was full of disdain.

"Send them out of their bunkers to fight the mutated beasts, instead of them cowering like turtles and playing dead."

"Now that we're going to kill the surface survivors, we can really unleash our full power! They're just cowards who only know how to fight back!"

"What should we do?" Li Guodong turned to look at the person in the main seat.

The leader, who had been silent all along, raised his head and glanced at everyone present.

"Italy has passed the buck to us."

The head of the intelligence department interrupted,

"Although the pan-European alliance did not reach an agreement today, it does not mean that they will not take action."

"The current pace of development in Great Xia is what it is; if pushed too far, those desperate politicians are capable of anything."

"Once the Great Purge begins, the population of the European continent will suffer a devastating blow, and humanity's vitality will be damaged once again."

The discussion paused for a moment.

All eyes turned to the person in the main seat.

The central commander lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, making a decisive statement.

"Now that the Great Xia's expeditionary force has crossed the border, the rules of this world must be set by the Great Xia."

He looked around, his tone authoritative without being angry.

"After all this time in the apocalypse, humanity's remaining resources are too thin."

"The 1.4 billion people of Great Xia have shed blood and sweat to finally gain a foothold on this planet, and now they are firing the first shot of this counterattack."

"We absolutely cannot allow these clowns to cause internal strife and drain humanity's energy!"

He looked at the Minister of External Relations and gave instructions in a clear and organized manner.

"Let's set the tone for this external dialogue: a strong response."

"First, tell those people in the Pan-European Union."

The Great Xia Dynasty didn't care about the petty squabbles between the dogs both underground and on the surface.

But anyone who dares to use heavy firepower to slaughter civilians and destroy the foundations of humanity at this critical juncture will face the wrath of Great Xia!

"Prioritize their attack over mutated creatures!"

The military generals present nodded repeatedly, their eyes sharp.

The swords of the Great Xia Dynasty are designed to subdue any dissent.

"Second, notify Italy."

The leader continued,

"Great Xia warmly welcomes the emergence of a visionary and sensible ally on the continent of Europe."

Since they made the right choice, Great Xia will not be stingy with its rewards.

They wanted to protect themselves, so the Great Xia armed them to the teeth!

We will prioritize providing them with a batch of the latest crystal core weapons and equipment to help them stabilize their situation.

Thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.

Italy made the right move, directly aligning itself with Great Xia, currently the most powerful ally.

With Italy as a model, other European countries can only be envious and follow suit.

"third."

The central commander stood up, his hands resting on the table, his gaze piercing.

"Deliver an ultimatum to the Pan-European Union through the Great Xia's public channels."

"Give them twenty-four hours. Within twenty-four hours, they must publicly declare their unconditional acceptance of the military reorganization of the Great Xia."

"If you dare to outwardly comply but inwardly defy me, or continue to play dead..."

He closed the file, his voice as cold as a knife.

"The original copy of that 'cleanliness agreement' will be broadcast globally via satellite by Great Xia."

Upon hearing this, several people in the conference room gasped.

This is a ruthless move, a classic case of cutting off the enemy's lifeline.

Even without the Great Xia taking any action, simply releasing the agreement aimed at slaughtering all surface survivors would drive millions of survivors into utter madness.

"By then, they will truly be the enemy of all mankind."

Li Guodong leaned back and laughed heartily.

"Go and do it," the old man waved his hand.

The efficient operation of a major power's machinery is on full display.

Within ten minutes, three commands traveled through the highest-level encrypted communication channel of the Great Xia Dynasty, directly into the heart of Europe.
