A few days later.

Athena steps into the Eagle Empire's private estate.

The sun shone through the sparse clouds and onto the carefully groomed land, adding a sense of solemnity to the meeting.

Her gaze passed through the lush gardens and finally stopped on the magnificent building, where the President of the Eagle Empire was waiting for her arrival.

"Ms. Athena, welcome." A middle-aged man in a neat military uniform came forward. He was the Minister of Defense of the Eagle Empire and a close confidant of the president. "The president is waiting for you."

"Thank you for your hospitality. I know this meeting will be of extraordinary significance to both parties." Athena responded with a smile, her eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Following the guidance of the Minister of Defense, Athena walked into the President's study.

In the study, an old man in his sixties with a resolute face was sitting behind a large desk. He was the president of the Eagle Empire.

His eyes were sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts, but when he saw Athena, a barely perceptible curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Ms. Athena, I have long heard of you."

The president's voice was steady and powerful. "Please take a seat. Let's talk about the Battle of Phoenix that you mentioned."

Athena sat down calmly and looked directly into the president's eyes: "Mr. President, I came here this time in the hope that the Eagle Empire can become a key ally of Phoenix City in fighting against the forces of Summer Soul. The threat of Summer Soul is not limited to one place. If it gains power, the balance of the entire world will be broken."

The president nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.

"You know, although Phoenix City has an indomitable will and a group of brave warriors, we can hardly compete with Xiahun in terms of military equipment and technology. The Eagle Empire, as the country with the strongest military capabilities in the world, has seven aircraft carrier formations. Your joining will be the key to determining the direction of the war."

The president smiled slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons: "Ms. Athena, I understand your concerns, but the Eagle Empire also has its own considerations. Although we are powerful, how can intervening in a distant war directly benefit our national interests?"

"Mr. President, this is a war about justice and peace. Xia Hun's ambitions are not limited to Phoenix City. Once they have consolidated their foundation there, the next step will inevitably be expansion. Although the Eagle Empire is far away, it is by no means a safe place. Moreover, as an ally, Phoenix City will provide you with the strategic resources and technical cooperation you need to jointly maintain world stability."

The President was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Athena's words.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the skyline in the distance. "You have a point, but such a decision needs to be made with caution. I need time to discuss it in depth with my advisory team."

Athena stood up and said firmly, "Of course, I understand your considerations. But I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, because every minute and every second, the warriors of Phoenix City are fighting for survival. I believe that the power of the Eagle Empire can add a vital weight to the scales of justice."

The president turned around and his eyes met with Athena's. "I will consider it, Ms. Athena. The Eagle Empire never intervenes in the affairs of other countries easily, but when we act, it will shock the world."

"I look forward to your decision, Mr. President." Athena bowed slightly, turned and left the study, her heart full of anticipation and uneasiness.

She knew that although this step had been taken, the real challenge had just begun.

The choice of the Eagle Empire will determine the fate of Phoenix and even the future of the entire world.

The atmosphere in President Eagle's study was solemn.

After Athena left, he immediately convened the members of the Security Cabinet and asked representatives from the consortium to attend the meeting as well.

A discussion concerning the fate of the country is about to begin.

"Everyone, I just had a meeting with Ms. Athena." The president said straight to the point, "She hopes that we can intervene in the conflict between Phoenix City and Summer Soul as their ally."

"Intervene in this war?" The Minister of Defense frowned. "That's a direct confrontation with Xia Country, a contest between the world's number one and number two. We must act with caution."

"That's right." The finance minister also expressed concern, "Such a decision will have a profound impact on our economy. We need to assess all possible consequences."

"But if we can win this war, our status and influence will be further enhanced." A military general expressed a different view, "This is an opportunity to demonstrate our strength."

"Showing off your strength?" The consortium representative sneered, "War is no joke. It requires huge investment, and the outcome is often full of uncertainty. We need to weigh the pros and cons."

“I agree,” the Secretary of State nodded. “We must consider the reaction of the international community. Such actions could leave us isolated.”

"Isolated?" The president narrowed his eyes. "If we can unite other countries and form an alliance against Xia Hun, the situation will be completely different."

“That being said, such an alliance is not easy to form,” the foreign minister shook his head. “Many countries would be afraid to be drawn into such a conflict.”

"We need a comprehensive strategic assessment," the defense minister stressed, "including military, economic, political and diplomatic considerations."

"I agree." The president nodded in agreement. "We must ensure that our actions are profitable and not just out of moral support."

“Then we should start preparing relevant assessment reports,” the finance minister suggested. “At the same time, we also need to communicate with our allies to see if they are willing to act with us.”

"Okay." The president made a decision. "Let's split up and act. We need to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible."

As the meeting came to an end, all members left the study and began to work intensively.

They knew that this decision was crucial to the Eagle Empire and could change the country's destiny and international status.

Over the next few days, the study was brightly lit, and various reports and data analyses were constantly presented to the president's desk.

He had many in-depth discussions and debates with cabinet members, financial group representatives, and military generals.

Everyone came up with their own insights and suggestions from a different perspective.

Finally, after full discussion and consideration, President Eagle made the decision.

He will send a team of special envoys to Phoenix for further talks and consultations with leaders there.

At the same time, he also began to prepare to communicate and coordinate with other countries in order to form an alliance to fight against Xia Hun.

Of course, we have to make a gesture now and see the reaction from the Xia State. Their reaction is very important!
