Just as Divine Land began its new territorial development, other countries around the world were in an uproar.
Although Divine Land presented the relevant agreements from Java and videos of the referendum, this evidence did not silence those who wanted to incite unrest.
After all, this is the first country to be formally annexed in the 21st century.
While wars raged fiercely elsewhere, such acts of "national annihilation" had never actually occurred before. This can be considered a precedent set in Divine Land.
The country that's most troubled by this behavior and the one that's most vocal about it is the Eagle Country. There's nothing they can do about it; its geographical location is what it is. Although being independent of the mainland from the perspective of external defense is a good thing, when such a war of annexation occurs on the mainland, it can't intervene in time to get a share of the spoils.
After all, even with aircraft carriers for logistics, supplies from the sea are still not as fast as those from the ground. Even if it gains a foothold in the Eurasian Continent, it cannot compete with Divine Land and Russia.
Moreover, judging from the current actions of Divine Land, it is clear that it is not just planning to stop after taking over Java; it has already begun to extend its reach to other small countries in the surrounding area.
Being so far away, it was impossible to stop them, and Divine Land's move was indeed giving it a headache.
Besides the Eagle Country, the smaller Europe countries, despite having been embroiled in border conflicts with Big Hair for years and struggling to survive themselves, also stepped forward to condemn Divine Land's actions.
The current world order was set by them, and everyone playing by this rule is beneficial to them. However, Divine Land's actions have indeed shattered their dreams.
If they can annex Java today, they can unify Asia tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they'll be riding on their heads. That won't do.
While the war on the Russia side is important, the Russia are fundamentally inclined towards Western thinking. No matter how the fighting goes, as the party that previously set the world rules, they will never break those rules. But Divine Land is different. The Divine Land People have the word "unity" deeply ingrained in their hearts.
In the eyes of the Divine Land People, the current world order is undoubtedly an enlarged version of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are still many small states now, and in a few decades or centuries, it will inevitably develop into the Warring States Period, or even the situation of the King of Qin unifying the six kingdoms.
Anyone who has read some of Divine Land's history is well aware of this situation.
This cannot be left unchecked; if Divine Land continues to digest this, they will lose the ability to resist.
But saying it is one thing and doing it is another. Protests are one thing, but Divine Land is still far away, while Russia is a real neighbor. If it's time to fight, then it's time to fight.
After all, no matter how much the global landscape changes, it's difficult for them to be affected.
For some small countries bordering Divine Land, this move by Divine Land has undoubtedly made them uneasy.
When Divine Land was promoting its love of peace, they caused quite a bit of trouble, especially with the Eagle Country standing behind them, making them very arrogant.
After the colossal Divine Land began to act, especially after its thunderous power directly swallowed up Java, they all began to panic, fearing that they would be the next to be attacked.
The Eagle Country. military, which had been stationed in their territory, quickly withdrew after the incident, leaving only empty shells in their country, an action that made them even more fearful.
Did the Eagle Country withdraw its troops out of fear? That's how they see it. On the other hand, the Eagle Country States also needs to concentrate its forces to deal with a dynamic Divine Land, so it naturally cannot spare troops to maintain military bases in various places.
After demonstrating its firepower in Divine Land, the Eagle Country ' military strategy has clearly changed somewhat. Can those few military bases in neighboring small countries really pose a threat to Divine Land? Judging from the current situation, it's really hard to say.
Even if their own firepower is concentrated, it is still insignificant compared to the firepower of Divine Land.
It would be better to concentrate the military forces in these areas and focus more on defending the homeland.
Already somewhat unsure of the current situation, and with the Eagle Country making this retreat move, these small countries naturally became even more anxious. Finally, after the construction troops supporting the enclaves from Divine Land borrowed passage several times, and after a few times of overwhelming armies flying overhead, the second small country surrendered.
The closest neighboring Moon Country directly approached Divine Land, presenting a letter of surrender, indicating its desire to merge with Divine Land.
There was no way around it; it was scared.
Before this, Moon Country was the center of scams in Southeast Asia, with all sorts of fraudulent organizations running scams. It had been deeply resented by Divine Land for several years, and if China were to start a purge, Divine Land would not be able to escape.
Fortunately, Divine Land had already assisted the Moon Country's military in wiping out these fraudsters a long time ago, but after so long, these people seem to be making a comeback.
Moreover, as the largest producer of addictive drugs in Asia, the chaos within its borders is not something that its government alone can solve. It would be better to take this opportunity to hand it over to Divine Land to handle.
After acquiring Java, Divine Land initially wanted to consolidate its position first. After all, Java's terrain was quite favorable, and once it was secured and stabilized, it would effectively block shipping routes across Asia. Stable development would be beneficial for Divine Land.
But it didn't expect that its actions would put so much pressure on the surrounding small countries.
It hadn't even been a few days before some countries couldn't handle it anymore and came knocking on our door.
Free land? Why not take it? With a wave of its hand, Divine Land also brought the entire Moon Country under its control.
It's the same old story. Although they surrendered voluntarily, for Divine Land, these areas that have been incorporated into its territory still need to be thoroughly investigated.
Divine Land has no need for addictive substances, neither in the past nor in the future. The first thing to do regarding the Moon Country is to eradicate all related industries.
Although these places are chaotic, the forces that cultivate these things are quite capable even among small countries, but they are now facing the Divine Land, not the previously sidelined Moon Country.
There's nothing more to say about these people; just bombard them with artillery fire, leaving no one alive, wiping out their property and everything in between.
As for the members of the original Moon Country's political system who were involved with these things, they were all purged by Divine Land. The entire Moon Country's management system was largely eliminated, leaving only a few people to maintain the country's operation.
With this move by the Moon Country, the global order on Earth Star seemed to be accelerated, and a new round of changes immediately began.
