Modern society is different from the past, even if there are estrangements between us, or even significant old grudges.
But it's clearly unreasonable to seek revenge today for past grievances.
For Divine Land, having a legitimate reason for launching an attack is also a very important matter.
Therefore, Divine Land launched a massive online operation to arrest 1450 people. The goal was to find one or two Ryukyu where the Ryukyu people had offended Divine Land.
As is well known, there are a particularly large number of netizens in Mainland China, and they are exceptionally active online. Finding a few 1450s is not difficult.
However, due to the widespread adoption of cultivation practices, the number of such people has decreased considerably in recent years.
There's no way around it; no matter what outrageous things they say, they need someone to read them. Everyone's engrossed in cultivation, and no one's flattering them, so naturally, they won't become popular.
However, while they failed to capture anyone in Ryukyu, several small countries in Southeast Asia did reveal their true colors.
Although there are many Divine Land People abroad, they generally do quite well in their Earthly Capital due to their honest and hardworking nature and their work ethic.
The problem is that not all governments are good governments. In many small countries, the top leaders themselves are struggling to make ends meet, so they naturally can't take care of the lives of ordinary people.
Their usual practice is to wait until outsiders have settled down and developed their businesses here, then create some chaos and carry out a purge.
For the countries backed by the Eagle Country, this tactic would only be used against the Divine Land People.
After all, the Divine Land People are honest, law-abiding, and have a low capacity for resistance. Growing up in a place like Divine Land, they are easily inclined to believe what others say.
A simple sentence, "Fellow villagers, come to the drill ground to collect your wages; don't bring weapons," was enough to take care of a large group.
This naturally made these smaller countries feel that they were easy to bully.
Just as the entire Central Divine Land was searching for a pretext to launch an expedition against Ryukyu, the actions of a certain small country conveniently presented themselves.
Java, as a small country, has experienced two campaigns to exclude Divine Land People in the last century, and has even carried out purges against Divine Land People more than once within its borders.
They were already on Divine Land's blacklist, and at this very moment, they ran right into the line of fire.
Unrest broke out again in the country, and their government dumped all these problems on the local Divine Land community.
Since we've already been blamed twice, what's the harm in taking the blame again?
But this very action plunged them into an abyss of no return.
Originally, Ryukyu was the top priority for Divine Land's overseas operations, but the smaller Southeast Asia countries were naturally also included in the plan.
In reality, Divine Land didn't have many war plans for these small countries.
It could be breached in an hour and a half in the last century; for Divine Land today, it would only be faster.
But since Java has already walked right into the line of fire, then it's his turn.
After some internal discussion, Divine Land immediately took action on the matter.
Fortunately, Java Country and Ryukyu are in the same direction, so there's no need for complicated troop deployments; all that's needed is to raise the cannons a little.
Soon after, Divine Land issued a strong condemnation of the actions taken within Java Country and formally warned Java Country to immediately cease its operations.
Java Country remained unmoved by Divine Land's statement. After all, Divine Land has made numerous international statements in the past, but no matter how serious they are, it rarely takes any real action.
They assumed it would be the same this time.
You offer your cigarettes, I'll do my thing, so they didn't stop wielding their knives.
But just as Java Country chose to continue its actions, Divine Land took action.
Still as a rabbit in motion, swift as thunder in action.
Before they could react, the space carrier from Divine Land had already reached the border of Java Country.
The dark, massive space carrier cast a shadow that covered nearly half of Java Country's capital city under the sun's rays.
Anyone would be terrified to be confronted by such a colossal space carrier for the first time.
Despite being a small country, Java still possesses considerable military strength.
Soon, more than a dozen aircraft flew toward the airborne carrier.
That's right. Although it takes courage to confront the strong, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Having gotten used to the easy-to-bully attitude of the Divine Land People and Divine Land's consistent good-natured demeanor towards foreign countries, Java Country was simply not afraid.
After takeoff, the aircraft began sending out warning signals around the space carrier, and even launched heat decoys as a warning.
But this time, Divine Land wasn't there to warn or joke. Faced with these dozen or so mosquito-like fighter jets, the space carrier launched an attack directly.
Without any warning, more than a dozen beams of light flashed across the space carrier. Before anyone could react to what was happening, more than a dozen fireworks burst out around the space carrier.
The dozen or so fighter jets disintegrated instantly, without even a moment to react.
Divine Land didn't even give Java Country a chance to issue another warning.
He wanted to use this operation to deter other countries in the region.
It wasn't the space carrier that made the move, nor the large number of troops it carried.
In fact, after the space carrier stopped in the airspace near Java Country, it simply started broadcasting live to the world.
Meanwhile, along the southeastern coast of mainland Divine Land, several divisions' new heavy firepower units received the signal.
As the space carrier sailed toward Java Country, it issued warnings to other neighboring countries.
They were told that a small amount of firepower might cross their airspace, and they were advised not to panic.
Upon receiving the activation signal from the space carrier, the heavy firepower along the coast opened fire.
In just a few seconds, all sorts of bright spots were launched from the muzzles of countless cannons of various sizes, each emitting a different kind of firework.
It was densely packed, drawing a band of light across the entire sky.
If Divine Land's firepower was like raindrops before, then Divine Land's firepower is now like a flood.
The beams of light created by the artillery fire truly blotted out the sky, making it impossible to see anything.
The artillery fire traveled very fast, taking only a few minutes to travel from the southeast coast to Java Country.
The small Southeast Asia countries that received the warning from Divine Land quickly turned their cameras upside down.
Didn't they say it had heavy firepower? Well, let's see just how heavy that firepower really is.
One second the sky was clear and blue, the next second, a Milky Way appeared across the sky, stretching from north to south.
It was indeed beautiful, but the thought that the light screen was made up of cannonballs sent chills down their spines.
They did have air defense systems, and their point defenses were indeed well-developed. But faced with this level of artillery barrage, they really couldn't think of anything to use for defense.
Fortunately, they weren't the target of this heavy firepower.
The band of light in the sky lasted for more than 30 seconds, making it impossible to estimate how many shells Divine Land had fired.
However, now is not the time to consider that; everyone's attention is focused on the live stream from the perspective of the Divine Land space carrier.
Soon, as expected, a beam of light could be seen spreading across the horizon.
