The scene fell silent, everyone looked at the Navy Supreme Commander as if they were watching a madman.
The boldness of the Laines Empire was entirely derived from their fence-sitting strategic decision: they didn't have the courage to start a war with the Great Tang Empire first, but later had the guts to join the cake-sharing, and it's very bold.
Now, including the Dorne Empire, they're essentially taking advantage of the inevitable battle between the Qin Country and the Tang Country to muster courage to study matters related to the second anti-Tang war.
Dorne's Navy is the strongest, plus they can join forces with the Qin Empire's Navy, so they are the most proactive. In contrast, the Laines Empire has always considered itself just a makeweight.
Since they're just a makeweight, they can't possibly start a war with the Great Tang Empire first. They have to wait until other countries start to enter the fray before pushing their chips forward to follow.
