Although it was never publicized by the Empire for political reasons, those who are rational knew that if it had not been for the Newland Federation, a new global war would have probably erupted long ago.
This isn't about flattering the Newland Federation, but simply acknowledging the truth.
Let's make an assumption—if Wilkins hadn't had a stroke and Congress had approved the treaty he brought back, and if they had become a founding member of the International Alliance—what then?
Perhaps, in less than a decade, the victorious powers' coalition would have collapsed due to severe internal conflicts or would have diverted those conflicts through expansion.
Clearly, in either case, the order of peace established by the treaty and International Alliance would have crumbled.
It wouldn't be long before another war broke out.
Judging by the comprehensive national strength, only the Liangxia Empire and the Newland Federation would likely emerge victorious in the next full-scale war.
