472: You have it and I have it too!
Mr. Reliable also didn't know what to do.
If it were a Small Country, an ordinary country, Mr. Reliable would be furious, and then immediately order the army to counterattack!
Because that was a matter of Ugly Country's dignity!
After all, could a mere Small Country really cause a major upheaval?
But dealing with Dragon Country was different, Dragon Country was not a Small Country.
In fact, quite the opposite, Dragon Country was a powerful country!
If only discussing from an industrial perspective, then Dragon Country could even be said to be a country more powerful than Ugly Country!
At this time, counterattacking wasn't something you could just do by saying you would counterattack!
At least Ugly Country needed an excuse, an explanation!
But the problem now was that Ugly Country precisely did not have this excuse, did not have this explanation!
What to do???
Mr. Reliable frowned deeply.
He found himself caught in a huge strange loop.
Counterattack?
No reason, no excuse, Mr. Reliable didn't want to fight a world war.
Don't counterattack?
Ugly Country's face would be completely gone!
This was equivalent to being slapped hard by Dragon Country, and yet not daring to make a sound.
What about the voters?
What about his midterm election?
What about his re-election????
Mr. Reliable was startled to realize he had backed himself into a corner.
Even more terrifying was that it seemed like there wasn't much of a good way for him to respond or resist Dragon Country!
They couldn't possibly launch missiles towards Dragon Country's mainland, could they?
Mr. Reliable truly hadn't thought about starting a war, even the capitalists within Ugly Country who hated Dragon Country hadn't thought about starting a war.
If war really started, would Ugly Country be Dragon Country's opponent?
No one could say for sure!
Without war, Ugly Country was still the world's number one.
Once war started, everything would be uncertain!
Would Ugly Country still be the world's number one then?
What about himself?
Mr. Reliable at this moment truly realized that he had stirred up a huge problem!
He was being honest, he hadn't expected Dragon Country's reaction to be so intense!
Directly using missiles to destroy Ugly Country's war base!
He had originally thought there would at least be a round of negotiations or something, at least like last time.
It would just be about discussing some terms, and everyone could still save face.
He hadn't expected them to just wipe the area clean with missiles!
This was something Mr. Reliable truly hadn't anticipated!
What to do now???
Mr. Reliable's face was full of helplessness.
Handling this matter could be said to be extremely tricky.
Whether to fight or make peace, the problems were huge!
Very huge!
More importantly, his side was in the wrong first, although Mr. Reliable didn't feel that it was a mistake, but looking at the current international public opinion.
Assassinating Professor Guo, such a world-class Professor, in itself leads to the consequence of being condemned by world public opinion.
This was much more serious than assassinating the leader of a certain country.
Assassinating the leader of a certain country merely meant facing the hostility of that country's citizens, as long as it wasn't a country the size of Dragon Country.
For Ugly Country, it was just a trivial matter, like not worrying about too many debts or not feeling itches from too many lice.
It wasn't considered a major event.
But assassinating Professor Guo, a top scientist who is the essence of human civilization, a top scientist who could even be said to have surpassed Einstein.
That was a definite act against humanity.
After all, this group of scientists are the people truly concerned with humanity's future!
Even if they hated Dragon Country and disliked Dragon Country people, most people in the world still somewhat understood that Professor Guo was almost directly related to humanity's future!
Assassinating a scientist of this level was no different from directly assassinating the highest level of Dragon Country!
Perhaps even more so!
Not only was it detested by the entire Dragon Country, but even most countries and people around the world would feel that Ugly Country's actions were a definite act of war!
They would not receive sympathy from any country!
Not even allies!
Even though many people inwardly felt Ugly Country did a good job, there was almost no one who dared to publicly support Ugly Country's actions!
Because most people still cared about their reputation!
But Ugly Country's actions were completely shameless!
These thoughts flashed through Mr. Reliable's mind.
His expression became somewhat grim.
Then what to do?
Mr. Reliable's eyes were full of helplessness, let alone abroad, there weren't many people domestically who dared to openly support him!
He had somewhat underestimated the importance of Guo Hao!
Or rather, Mr. Reliable had never cared!
He had originally thought that after killing Guo Hao, even if Dragon Country went crazy and destroyed a few military bases, so what?
No matter what, Mr. Reliable felt that Dragon Country couldn't possibly start a war with Ugly Country over a dead top scientist.
Therefore, Mr. Reliable directly used the power of the Security Bureau, which was equivalent to using state-level power, to eliminate Guo Hao!
Even if it was exposed, it didn't matter!
But he hadn't expected!
The assassination happened, yes, and it went smoothly, yes!
But Guo Hao didn't die!
More than a dozen bullets were all fired, but Guo Hao didn't die!
He could even be said to be completely unharmed!
Moreover, the matter of Ugly Country using the power of the Security Bureau's top agents to assassinate Guo Hao was almost completely investigated.
The chain of evidence was complete!
This was a very bad possibility that Mr. Reliable had never anticipated!
Guo Hao didn't die, and the seemingly honest Dragon Country this time didn't communicate with Ugly Country at all, and directly took action.
Missiles were directly fired at several overseas bases.
The number of casualties and various losses had not yet been determined.
But Mr. Reliable was truly a bit flustered.
To be frank, he was just an outsider, not a politician, but a small businessman who had only become somewhat wealthy after decades, not even considered a major capitalist.
If it was about bullying some Small Countries, then no problem, just go ahead.
Or if it was about verbally bullying Dragon Country, that was also no problem, because based on the experience of the past few decades.
Dragon Country was very reasonable, at most it would just be some verbal condemnation, some verbal warnings.
Honestly, what Mr. Reliable disdained the most were these things.
Therefore, he was never stingy with verbal warnings.
But before, when the fleet was approaching Dragon Country's periphery, preparing to provoke a war, Mr. Reliable was actually already a bit flustered.
Was Ugly Country truly ready to fight a behemoth like Dragon Country?
So, at the last moment, apart from the network threat from Guo Hao, Mr. Reliable had actually given up, because he really didn't have any confidence in his heart.
And now!
The always honest and law-abiding Dragon Country actually took direct action!
And they precisely stood on the moral high ground!
What to do?
Launch nuclear bombs? Start a nuclear war?
Mr. Reliable didn't have the guts for that, although he outwardly appeared carefree, as if he wasn't afraid of anything.
But, starting a nuclear war was something Mr. Reliable truly didn't dare to do!
His gaze fell on the nuclear button beside him, his heart struggling a bit.
From the bottom of his heart, Mr. Reliable wanted to press that button.
But at the same time, he also understood!
Not only did Ugly Country have nuclear bombs! Dragon Country also had them!
And once Ugly Country used nuclear bombs, not only Ugly Country, but also the Tsar Country, would definitely not stand by and do nothing!
