120: Help, brother, Dongfeng 88

The high-ranking officials of South Korea also came up with countermeasures.

There were two countermeasures.

The first countermeasure was to yield, gain China's understanding, and simultaneously abandon the THAAD Plan.

The second countermeasure was to act tough externally, requiring the US to step in and help them; at the same time, they would deceive internally, gaining the trust of their citizens by telling them that the THAAD Plan had already been vetoed, claiming China was merely making groundless accusations with the goal of targeting South Korea, and that South Korea's business issues could also be solved by appealing to the US.

As long as the US was willing to let its other allies help South Korea, the domestic issues in South Korea could be quickly resolved.

The core of the second countermeasure was to closely follow the US and become its steadfast ally.

"Although China's strength is recovering, there is still a significant gap between it and the US, so I support the second countermeasure."

"I also support the second countermeasure. The US is the undisputed number one in the world, whether in military strength, business, or other aspects."

"As long as the US is willing to help us, both domestic and international issues can be easily resolved. I also support the second countermeasure."

... When the two countermeasures were proposed, most South Korean officials firmly sided with the US, only a small minority chose the first countermeasure, and some remained neutral, choosing neither.

When The Number One Leader of Pickle Country returned, the officials stated their decision.

"We will use the second decision!"

"The US has already dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet to help us. The US will help us resolve the issues with China. We need to prioritize solving our domestic issues, and if we truly cannot resolve them, I will continue to seek assistance from the US."

The Number One Leader of Pickle Country returned to the conference room and made the final decision.

"Yes."

Most officials in the meeting were pro-US, and upon hearing the decision of The Number One Leader, they immediately became excited by the news.

South Korean officials left the conference room and immediately began to slander China.

They started telling the public that all of this was China causing trouble for no reason, with the goal of crippling their economy. At the same time, they informed the public that the Cui Family was also brought down by a Chinese conspiracy.

The reason South Korean officials whitewashed the Cui Family was naturally because the Cui Family served as their front organization and their source of wealth.

They had previously not admitted to the Cui Family's crimes; they had only taken the Cui Family members away, not to detain them, but rather to protect them.

The Cui Family's wealth was the foundation for them to promote the THAAD Plan.

Of course, if the US was unwilling to step in and help South Korea this time, they could not possibly deploy THAAD, as South Korea's power was inferior to China's, making it impossible to contend with China.

"What? All of this is a Chinese conspiracy, intended to hollow out our economy."

"The Chinese people are too malicious. I hate the Chinese."

"This absolutely cannot be a Chinese conspiracy. I was one of the victims of the Cui Family back then."

"You are whitewashing the Cui Family..."

... After the Official Authorities released the news, major South Korean platforms reposted the information, intending to fool their own citizens.

Upon hearing this news, some people in South Korea chose to believe it, while others spoke out about their own experiences, telling everyone in South Korea that everything China had said was true.

At this moment, the people of South Korea began to feel confused.

They did not know who was telling the truth and who was lying.

"Is this the method the US and South Korea use to confuse people?"

Jiang Chuan, currently staying in South Korea, naturally learned about this immediately and laughed mockingly.

The US uses this kind of tactic to prevent the American people from knowing the real China and from understanding China.

As a result, the US still believes China is a backward nation and a country of opium.

They believe China is still poor and backward, with only slight progress in the military sphere and nothing more.

"South Korea made its decision so quickly; it seems the US is also preparing to act."

Jiang Chuan could roughly guess what was happening. South Korea making such a hasty decision must mean they contacted their 'big brother,' who gave them a commitment.

China's Official Authorities have remained silent, probably waiting to see what the US will do.

The US's position remains unshakable today.

Military: World Number One.

Business: World Number One.

Research and Development: World Number One...

China currently faces immense pressure when dealing with the US.

Although China exposed the THAAD Plan this time, it is virtually impossible to use public opinion to force the US and South Korea to halt the plan.

"I finally succeeded."

Jiang Chuan saw that his gratitude value had finally reached the required amount, allowing him to extract something from the game world again, and he sighed in relief.

{US Promis Manor — Extractable.}

{Pacific Whale Island — Extractable.}

{US Thousand-Acre Farm — Extractable.}

{Global Language Mastery — Extractable.}

... {Complete Blueprint for Curative Nano-Glasses — Extractable.}

{Complete Blueprint for Curative Nano-Eardrums — Extractable.}

{Complete Blueprint for Self-Repairing Artificial Heart — Extractable.}

{Complete Blueprint for Curative Nano-Robots — Extractable.}

... {Complete Design Blueprint for Dongfeng-88 Missile — Extractable.}

{Complete Blueprint for Heavenly Court Spaceship — Extractable.}

{Complete Blueprint for Aerial Aircraft Carrier — Extractable.}

... Jiang Chuan entered the game world and finally confirmed what he would extract.

"Extract the Complete Design Blueprint for the Dongfeng-88 Missile."

After Jiang Chuan successfully extracted it, the blueprint was temporarily stored in the game world.

He also learned about the Dongfeng-88 Missile through the game world.

It is one of the most advanced missiles in the world.

Its power is equivalent to one thousand atomic bombs exploding simultaneously, its range reaches 200,000 kilometers, and its speed is as high as Mach 50.

As long as China successfully develops this missile.

The THAAD deployed by the US in South Korea would be rendered useless and completely unable to intercept this missile.

China would even be able to easily cover any US city just by launching it from its current location; this is a true strategic weapon.

"It looks like I need to return home."

After Jiang Chuan extracted the Dongfeng-88 Missile blueprint, he understood that remaining in South Korea was pointless.

South Korea's intent was very clear: they would firmly follow the US's lead, and the THAAD Plan was inevitable.

He also needed to quickly hand over this blueprint to the Research and Development Department so that the nation could research and develop it together. Once this weapon was developed, THAAD would be nothing more than a decoration, a system that wasted countless resources and served no purpose.

"Old Jiang, I'll go back with you. The situation in South Korea is clear now, and the current environment here is not suitable for continuing business. I plan to go back and tell Old Xu to abandon all the branch stores in this country."

Jiang Chuan contacted Xu Jia and the other two. Wang Cong and Qin Dong planned to stay and play for a while longer, but Xu Jia had matters to attend to and returned to China with Jiang Chuan.
