The likes of the Smith Republic, which struck directly and took action, were actually easier to deal with. What he feared were places like the Holy Roland Empire, which had remained completely silent—who knew what schemes they were plotting?
Zhou Xu did not believe they had no intention of launching espionage operations.
Judging by the current situation, among the five nations of the Allied Forces, the one most eager to plant spies among them was probably the Holy Roland Empire.
Although he had prepared himself from the very beginning to deal with spies infiltrating from other nations,
when the time actually came, he had to admit that he felt a little pressure.
Still, worrying about it was useless at a time like this. Zhou Xu turned around and quickly settled his mind.
"By the way, did you spread the information I asked you to release earlier?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, it has already been released."
Some time ago, Zhou Xu had instructed the people of the Investigative Department to spread the news that Great Zhou was conducting arms trade with the Smith Republic.
He was not afraid of anyone knowing about this in the first place, and there was nothing taboo about it.
Take modern society, for example. It was perfectly normal for powerful nations to sell equipment to other countries. It could even be considered one of a nation's important sources of income.
The fundamental purpose behind Zhou Xu releasing this information now was to see whether any of the other nations in the Allied Forces wanted to purchase weapons from him.
He did not mind doing business with other nations. Even if the other party was the Holy Roland Empire, it did not matter.
After all, considering long-term development, he could not keep bleeding the Smith Republic dry
