Rahman said again, "Dear viewers, it’s expected that in an hour, the Exoskeleton Squad will arrive at the border and begin their strike against the enemy."
"Please don’t go away, the National TV Station will present more exciting content..."

Great Xia.
Xijin City.
While the entire Luotuo Kingdom was cheering for the Exoskeleton Squad, the Great Xia National Television also began today’s New Year’s Eve special program.
McMallaman was leaning on the sofa, watching TV with the whole family.
A year ago, he was the top military figure in the Lan shi Kingdom.
A year later, he became an ordinary civilian in Great Xia, fully entering the retirement phase.
The reason for all of this was that at a famous resort beach in the Lan shi Kingdom, several Flying Sand Dragonflies suddenly appeared.
These are terrifying monsters from the Primordial World’s Sea of Death Black Sand.
A few Flying Sand Dragonflies massacred the entire beach and roamed freely in Lan shi Kingdom, causing massive casualties wherever they went.
During that nightmare period, the death and injuries reached up to thirty thousand, forcing McMallaman to resign from all his positions.
He exchanged the secrecy of Lan shi Kingdom’s various dirty dealings for leaving with a massive fortune of one billion pounds accumulated over years.
The old man decisively donated most of his assets to Eastern Great Xia in exchange for Great Xia National IDs for all eleven family members.
This surprised many people.
Because Lan shi Kingdom had the closest relationship with the Carmenia Federation, many thought McMallaman would choose to go to Carmenia, but unexpectedly, he went to distant Eastern Great Xia.
Then, under the arrangement of Great Xia’s Immigration Bureau, McMallaman’s family settled in Xijin City in the southwest of Great Xia.
But the family’s living standard experienced a precipitous decline.
This was because Great Xia’s material supply system had two different systems, one was Xia Yuan, and the other was shopping vouchers.
Both are indispensable.
Even though McMallaman still retained property worth twenty million Xia Yuan, he was just a regular person, and the monthly shopping voucher quota was not much, so he couldn’t buy many things even with money.
His eldest son and second daughter, pressured by the survival needs, found work in a neighboring city and moved out with their families.
Now, only one unmarried younger son, Fox, still lived under the same roof as the old couple.
At this moment.
Fox yawned and couldn’t help but complain, "Great Xia is so boring."
This guy dearly missed the numerous nightclubs in the capital Lundin City of the Lan shi Kingdom.
Since the Age of Calamity appeared, the quality of stock in nightclubs improved immensely with all types available, and the prices became quite cheap, making it possible to be a groom every night.
But where in Great Xia are there any nightclubs?
Moreover, the old man sternly warned him that if he made trouble in Great Xia, he would end up in the icy wasteland doing hard labor.
McMallaman paid no attention to his younger son and continued staring at the TV screen without blinking.
Fox continued complaining, "Old man, I really can’t understand, why didn’t you go to the Carmenia Federation back then?
"Even if you don’t quite like the Carmenians, you could go across the strait to France, the People of France would definitely welcome us..."
McMallaman, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Shut up!"
Fox moved his lips but ultimately didn’t dare to defy the old man because he had no job and was a typical parasite.
McMallaman scolded his younger son, "Do you know that recently, many countries in the south of the East Continent have listed the Xia Language as a mandatory subject in schools, and Shapudian has even made it the official language?"
Fox looked bewildered, "What does this mean?"
McMallaman explained more explicitly, "When those countries listed the Xia Language as a mandatory course, they also turned Carmenia Language into an elective."
Before the Age of Calamity, Carmenia Language was the sole global language.
But the countries in the south of the East Continent canceled Carmenia Language as a mandatory course, indicating they no longer regard it as a global language.
Fox slightly understood the old man’s meaning, "These countries think Great Xia has completely replaced Carmenia Federation’s status?"
McMallaman snorted, "In ten years, maybe the children of Lan shi Kingdom will all have to learn the Xia Language."
Fox instinctively denied, "That’s totally impossible!"
McMallaman chuckled, "Within ten years, Great Xia will certainly become the absolute hegemon of Canglan Star, and the authority of Great Xia people will be stronger than the Carmenians at their peak."
Fox shook his head repeatedly, "Such a thing will never happen!"
McMallaman suddenly asked, "Do you know the Tianfu Craft Two combat exoskeleton, which is very popular on the internet recently?"
Fox nodded, "Of course I know."
McMallaman continued, "The only potential opponent of Great Xia, the Carmenia Federation, won’t be able to manufacture such a combat exoskeleton within five years."
Fox wanted to retort with, "The technology of Carmenia Federation might not be lagging behind Great Xia."
But he had no chance to voice it.
McMallaman preemptively said, "I used to be the top military official in Lan shi Kingdom, interacting with countless confidential information daily. Do I not know more than you?"
Fox had no choice but to keep quiet.
McMallaman added, "Carmenians indulged in finance, and after decades of deindustrialization, their industrial capacity has significantly declined, and most of their industrial system is destroyed.
