128: The Greatest Scientist Award for Zhang Yuanhang
"What!"
"Many of our military satellites have been destroyed!!!"
Trump stared wide-eyed at the person in charge.
"Were any other countries' satellites hit?"
"How many of China's satellites were hit?"
Trump thought about how China had also launched quite a few satellites into Space, so surely many of its military satellites would have been hit more or less this time!
The Director of Eagle Country Intelligence Agency, Ike, stood rooted to the spot, unsure how to answer.
The spies lurking in China had found out that not a single Chinese satellite was affected, let alone hit and destroyed by meteor fragments.
"Speak!"
Trump glared, eyes wide with fury.
Seeing Trump about to explode, Ike could only bite the bullet and speak, "Uh, Boss, China's satellites weren't affected this time."
"No other countries were affected either, only we, Eagle Country, got hit."
Hearing Ike's words, Trump froze.
What the hell kind of situation was this???
Bad luck had struck home!!!
"Damn it!!!"
Trump was so enraged that he kicked the desk in front of him, sending it flying.
"Bang!"
The desk, serving as an instant punching bag, crashed heavily to the ground. Ike watched as Trump, a sixty- or seventy-year-old man, kicked over a several-hundred-pound table.
His eyelids twitched!
This time, Trump was truly about to explode with anger.
With the end of the meteor crisis, all the country leaders breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone started the online meeting again.
Except for Eagle Country Boss Te Kao Pu, whose face was ashen, Everyone else had a hint of a smile.
"What's wrong with Trump? The crisis is over, why is his face still so dark?"
"I know, his face is frighteningly dark."
"He must be thinking that it wasn't Eagle Country but China that saved The Entire Blue Star this time. Envy, jealousy, and hatred, that's what it is!"
...The countries that truly knew the inside story, like China and France, couldn't help but smile in their eyes.
Eagle Country's luck was truly capped.
"Ahem!"
Seeing all the country leaders online, The Top Leader stepped forward.
"Everyone, I now officially announce that the meteor crisis has been lifted."
"The meteor threatening humanity has now disappeared into Space."
"This time, thanks to Everyone's sincere cooperation, because of our unity, we humans..."
The Top Leader spoke with a smile.
The leaders of other countries were very surprised that China did not claim all the credit for itself.
After all, the resolution of this crisis was entirely due to China's efforts and contributions!
If it had been Eagle Country, they would have already been boasting to the heavens, and it would have been impossible for them to say it was Everyone's credit.
For a moment, many countries felt goodwill towards China.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Trump's eyes. He was waiting for China to claim credit, so he could jump out and disgust China.
But they didn't follow his plan at all.
"This time, we must thank the Aerospace Fighter pilots who participated in the rescue mission. They risked their lives to enter the perilous Space."
"It is because of their efforts that this crisis did not, no, that the losses from this crisis were so 'small'."
When he mentioned 'small', The Top Leader specifically glanced at Trump.
"Pfft!"
The leaders of France and other countries couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Crack!"
Trump gritted his teeth, glaring at The Top Leader.
"At the same time, we must also specially thank one person, Comrade Zhang Yuanhang."
"The reason this crisis could be resolved is because of the Suzaku Aerospace Fighter developed by Zhang Yuanhang and the Air-to-air Missile he developed!"
The Top Leader finished speaking.
Everyone immediately applauded.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Everyone was deeply shocked.
The Top Leader just said that they destroyed that mountain-like meteor with an Air-to-air Missile.
Such immense power, from an Air-to-air Missile?
China's Suzaku Aerospace Fighter already crushed all other fighter jets on The Entire Blue Star, and now the Air-to-air Missile's power is so abnormal. How are we supposed to compete with this?
"Everyone, I suggest awarding Mr. Zhang Yuanhang a new medal."
"How about calling the medal 'The Greatest Human Scientist Award'!"
"What do you think?"
The Leader of Gaul Rooster, who had always wanted to foster good relations with China, immediately jumped out.
The Top Leader was very pleased to see the Leader of Gaul Rooster express his inner thoughts.
It seems we can have deeper cooperation with France in the future.
The Leader of Gaul Rooster smiled at The Top Leader as if seeking credit.
"No!"
Just then, Trump jumped out.
Are you kidding? This award absolutely cannot be established. Once established, it will deal a huge blow to Eagle Country's scientific community.
As Everyone knows, Eagle Country is an immigrant country. The reason why citizens of other countries come to Eagle Country is because they cannot ignore Eagle Country's economy, military, and technology ranking first on The Entire Blue Star.
Although it is currently being caught up by China, and in some areas of technology, China has left it so far behind that it can't even see the taillights.
However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Eagle Country still has some foundation and can still attract people to join Eagle Country.
But once this award is established and China's Zhang Yuanhang wins it, the first country those talents will consider will no longer be Eagle Country, but China, which has Zhang Yuanhang.
Afterward, Eagle Country's technological level will become lower and lower, and finally, Eagle Country will fall from its pedestal.
"We, John Bull, agree!"
"We also agree."
"Agree!"
...Unfortunately, except for India, Cosmos Country, and Japan, which sided with Eagle Country in opposition, all other countries agreed.
From their perspective, this award was just an empty title, requiring no effort from them; just shouting a slogan would suffice.
And in the end, they could gain goodwill from China, which was about to become the number one power on The Entire Blue Star. Why not?
"You, you..."
Trump trembled as he looked at those European countries. These former allies of his actually didn't stand with him; they all leaned towards China.
The leaders of France, John Bull, and other countries looked at Trump expressionlessly.
Seeing the looks in their eyes, Trump walked out of the camera's view.
"Damn it, someone! Go tell the Department of Commerce to prepare."
"I'm going to sanction these European fence-sitters!"
Trump was so angry that he wanted to sanction the European countries, just as he used to sanction countries that didn't listen to him.
"Boss, we need many military weapons and some industrial products to import parts from Europe."
"Once Europe is sanctioned, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The secretary immediately reminded the muddled Trump.
Sanctioning Europe would be an act of self-harm, causing a thousand losses to oneself to inflict eight hundred on the enemy.
"Damn it, am I really unable to deal with these countries?"
Trump directly smashed the water glass in his hand.
"Boss, the people in these countries really like to protest."
The secretary smirked at the side. Officially, Eagle Country truly had no immediate solution for Europe.
But privately, it was different. After all, Europe and Eagle Country were similar; protests and demonstrations were common occurrences.
"Hahahaha!"
"Right, right, we'll deal with them properly later!"
With a plan in mind, Trump returned to his seat.
