Although most members of Congress expressed their attitude towards Helena's resignation, the resignation application was quickly approved by them, and Odith was still acting as president before the new president was elected.

The incident of Shitian and Tianshi Castle occupying the Kolobola Islands also caused a global sensation. The mysterious veil of Tianshi Castle was gradually lifted. Although people still have little knowledge of it, it has become a well-known existence. Because the US government announced that it had eliminated Shitian, the appearance of Shitian made the United States the object of ridicule of many media again. At the same time, at the suggestion of the United States, Britain and other countries, the Security Council organized a special investigation team to investigate the complaint submitted by Kolobola VII.

The special investigation team soon found out that Klobrul VII had owed huge gambling debts in Las Vegas and mortgaged the Klobrul Islands to the casino. The investigation team found the casino again. This casino was actually one of the many casinos controlled by the Tianshi League in Las Vegas, but only a few people in the Tianshi League and the casino knew about it. Although the investigation team admitted that Klobrul VII did mortgage the Klobrul Islands to them because of the huge gambling debts, it was not returned because the mortgage period expired. Klobrul VII's debt and mortgage contract had been transferred to Tianshi Castle and presented the transfer agreement. = First release = In addition, investigators sent to the Philippines and other countries also reported the investigation results. The so-called thousands of Collobrul people who were forced to leave their motherland received a 100,000 US dollar severance fee for Tianshi Castle, basically saying that they voluntarily left the Klobrul Islands.

At this time, the Tianshi Empire was only established in Shitian and others' hearts, but did not announce it to the outside world. Therefore, people did not know that this new country was established. Therefore, the case of Tianshi Castle seizing the Collobola Islands can only be regarded as a debt dispute in the eyes of the special investigation team. It is far-fetched to say that invasion is too much. The United Nations can only express his help to the Collobola royal family who cried everywhere, but still recognizes that the Collobola Islands are the territory of the Collobola Kingdom.

The members of the royal family of Kloblau could only seek other solutions, and a complaint was made to file a lawsuit against the Tianshi Castle, the casino, and their king, Kloblau VII, to the International Court of Justice. The complaint stated that although Kloblau VII was the king, the Kingdom of Kloblau was the property shared by the entire royal family and all the people of Kloblau. Colloblau VII had no right to mortgage the land privately, and asked the court to rule that the mortgage contract between Kloblau VII and the casino was invalid, and also accused Tianshi Castle of forcibly occupying the Kloblau Islands was also illegal, requiring the return of their land and compensation for economic and mental losses. ****

The International Tribunal of the Hague accepted the case in early September. The trial was scheduled to be held on October 1, and then issued a subpoena to Tianshi Castle. According to the description of the person who went to the Kolobola Islands who sent the subpoena, the island only sent people to receive them at the dock. However, there was no response. The two main islands of the Kolobola Islands were busy and undergoing large-scale renovations.

Kloblau VII and his royal family were obviously playing double acts. After becoming the defendant, he immediately admitted with heartache that he did not have the right to mortgage the Kloblau Islands without the consent of all royal members. The gambling debt should be personally responsible, and he promised to repay the gambling debt as soon as possible and compensate for the extended interest, hoping to redeem the Kloblau Islands. At the same time, he expressed his willingness to transfer the land and territorial waters for a certain period of time as a cost to apply for loans from major countries.

The United Nations and the United States cooperated quite well. First, the United Nations issued a statement stating that the Kingdom of Klobolao, as one of the members of the United Nations, was once a trusteeship of the United Nations. The rights of various states, including territory, were protected by the United Nations. The United States stood up and expressed its willingness to provide the Kingdom of Klobolao with a free aid of $10 million in funds and a loan guarantee for the remaining funds to help them repay their debts.

In fact, Odith is not keen on helping the Kingdom of Klobola to repay its debts and redeem the island. In his and Alex's plan, he wanted to use this opportunity to encourage Congress and the Ministry of Defense to support him in continuing to use force against Shitian and Tianshi Castle. Although the land area of ​​the Kolobola Islands is small, it is adjacent to the Philippines and Indonesia, and is close to Guam, an important military base in the Pacific Ocean. The geographical location is very important. In the past, the Kingdom of Klobola only had dozens of soldiers. There was no security guard in a nightclub. Of course, it had no impact on the United States' military deployment in the Pacific. However, once occupied by hostile or competitive countries, it would be like sand in the eyes. The threat was quite large.

In recent years, with China's economic take-off, it put a lot of pressure on the United States. Four years ago, it shifted its strategic focus from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. To this end, the US military has significantly increased the number of its main combat ships in the Pacific Ocean, deployed more than six aircraft carrier formations and more than 40 nuclear submarines, accounting for more than 60% of the US Navy aircraft carrier formations and nuclear submarines. Through military alliances and cooperation with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia, China is firmly blocked on the western coast of the Pacific, thereby establishing the United States' military leadership in the Pacific Rim.

But now the Klobolao Islands fell into Shi Tian's hands, and Shi Tian is a Chinese. Although he did not find out how deep Shi Tian himself or Tianshi Castle had to do with the Chinese government, his relationship with the United States was not described as "bad". If the Klobolao Islands were used by China in the future, it would be like to break through the blockade of the United States for many years without any effort, and occupy a directly threatening the foothold of the Guam base behind the blockade. If there is a conflict in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Odith was confident of receiving support from Congress and the Ministry of Defense. Unexpectedly, the US government and the military were both afraid of Shi Tian this time. Although Odith's concerns were very reasonable, they all expressed that they could not act rashly.
