92: Section 92
“They even went so far as to damage the marine environment to extract resources during a certain combustible ice mining operation!”
“What right does such a country have to criticize other nations?”
“I hope certain countries will show some self-respect and manage their own affairs first!”
The diplomat showed no intention of holding back.
Although he didn't explicitly name a certain country.
Everyone understood.
These statements were practically emblazoning the words Lighthouse Country on their face.
Most importantly.
Huaguo is not what it once was.
Previous criticisms often remained just words.
But now, with Huaguo's influence.
Any request it makes, other countries have to consider carefully.
Even if it wasn't this time, but the last time on the combustible ice mining project, Huaguo was able to unite multiple countries to pressure the Lighthouse Country.
It was just that back then, it was driven by the interests of chips, and the Lighthouse Country itself was entangled with the interests of too many countries.
But this time.
Huaguo's Nuclear Fusion emerged out of nowhere, driving the rapid development of many countries across Asia.
Now, Huaguo's statements on the international stage can directly bring considerable pressure to the Lighthouse Country.
For example, Huaguo clearly pointed out that the price reduction in the Lighthouse Country's electricity was due to a breakthrough in their nuclear fission project, but the drawbacks were greater pollution and higher danger.
If it were before, even if it was said, it would be ignored.
But now, with Huaguo saying it, even without evidence, they would be suspicious.
This would also bring considerable pressure to the Lighthouse Country's citizens.
They would also worry about their own nuclear power plants having problems!
Just as Huaguo initially mistakenly thought that the ten Lin's Fusion Power plants in their country were nuclear fission, the current situation has been directly replicated within the Lighthouse Country.
And this, the dissatisfaction of the domestic populace, would directly affect the President.
This also caused the President, who saw this press conference, to immediately turn furious, his face flushed like a pig's liver.
In the past, it was always their Lighthouse Country that used public opinion pressure to exert pressure on other countries.
This time, they were actually bearing this pressure themselves?
This was simply a great humiliation!
“shit! This Huaguo is really pushing its luck!”
“No, we can't let them continue to be so arrogant!”
“What other areas can we suppress Huaguo in? It can't be that Huaguo has really completely surpassed us, right? That's absolutely impossible!”
Although it was indeed impossible, after all, even with breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology, overall surpassing still requires a certain amount of time to accumulate.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that if Huaguo was allowed to continue like this, surpassing them would only be a matter of time.
And he, the incumbent President, would become the most infamous President in the history of the Lighthouse Country!
As soon as the President thought of this situation, his heart was filled with anger and disgust towards Huaguo.
Just then, the secretary brought over a white-skinned middle-aged man dressed in a Lighthouse Country military uniform.
“Mr. President, Minister James said he has an application that needs the President’s signature for approval.”
Subsequently, the secretary placed an application form on the President's desk.
On it were two prominently marked names—
The Kennedy and the Enterprise.
These were the Lighthouse Country's two newest aircraft carrier projects, now nearing the end of construction.
Minister of Defense James brought the application form and said to the President:
“Mr. President, our Kennedy and Enterprise, two newest and largest displacement next-generation aircraft carriers, have been completed and can enter the testing phase. This is the testing proposal, and it requires your signature for approval.”
Looking at the detailed information of the two next-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carriers displayed in the documents.
It described various new equipment and weapons, with every aspect demonstrating the terrifying nature of these aircraft carriers.
At this moment, the memory etched deep in the President's DNA awakened.
What did they rely on to become the world's hegemon?
It was never money, nor energy, nor technology.
It was military force!
Using military force to burn, kill, plunder, and loot!
Only with the most powerful military force would they gain more money, energy, and more advanced technology!
My neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary!
...Chapter 85: Deterrence from the Lighthouse! Absolute military force is the truth!! [Begging for subscriptions!]
Chapter 85: Deterrence from the Lighthouse! Absolute military force is the truth!!
Whoosh—
This day.
Two brand new next-generation aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse Country were completed and officially underwent their first sea trial.
At the same time, under the guise of this test—.
The Lighthouse Country directly conducted a joint sea and air military exercise in the waters, centered around its aircraft carriers.
It must be said that the Lighthouse Country is, after all, the country with the most aircraft carriers in the world.
And all eleven aircraft carriers are nuclear-powered.
The two newly added aircraft carriers are no exception.
As next-generation aircraft carriers with a displacement of 100,000 tons, the equipment, facilities, fighter jets, and weapons carried on board are all the most advanced in the entire Lighthouse Country, and even cutting-edge globally.
In the entire world, besides the Lighthouse Country, only Perfume Country possesses a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Other countries, including Huaguo, have not yet mastered the technology for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
The Lighthouse Country once again used absolute military might to draw the world's attention back to itself.
Similarly, the Lighthouse Country's military exercise this time also put immense pressure on various countries around the world.
After all, all countries knew that the Lighthouse Country had been pushed into a corner by Huaguo recently.
And what an anxious Lighthouse Country might do was something other countries dared not imagine.
If the other party decided to take out their anger on them, it would be unpleasant.
After this military exercise, many small countries that had originally leaned towards Huaguo were now somewhat silent and had disappeared, at least not daring to express their stance during this sensitive time.
And the Lighthouse Country's strong military exercise this time also brought a sense of security to the countries that followed the Lighthouse Country.
Especially the two small countries, Kimchi Pot and Sakura Island Nation, located around Huaguo, had been under immense pressure recently.
Watching the neighboring Huaguo rise rapidly in an instant, they hadn't even had time to react before seeing their 'Daddy Country' shaken.
Moreover, these two small countries had originally relied on some cutting-edge technology to develop to this point.
It was just that most of their high-end technology had recently been completely surpassed by Huaguo.
This led to their development becoming increasingly difficult.
Now, seeing their 'Daddy Country' exert its strength again, their hearts were also excited.
After being shocked by the Lighthouse Country, the world's attention, however, gathered towards Huaguo.
All countries had the same thought—
“What if they can produce ultra-fine quality products?”
“What if they can extract energy?”
“What if they have a breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion?”
“Now, it is still the era where military might is king!”
“Only absolute military force holds the truth!”
“If you want to reason with others, your fist must first be as big as theirs!”
The Lighthouse Country, with its two newest additions, already possessed thirteen aircraft carriers, while Huaguo, even with its recently commissioned ones, only had three!
Moreover, even the Lighthouse Country's aircraft carriers that had been in service for many years were far more advanced than Huaguo's newest aircraft carrier!
...And seeing the Lighthouse Country's undisguised military exercise, the people of Huaguo naturally felt considerable pressure.
However, because Huaguo had just completed its technological breakthrough.
The confidence it brought to everyone was still very strong.
Online public opinion was not easily suppressed as before, and many people still had full confidence in Huaguo.
“The Lighthouse Country is conducting military exercises again, and I heard they made two new aircraft carriers!”
“Damn, the Lighthouse Country already has more than ten, right?”
“More than that, it's already thirteen!”
“And the two newest ones have broken new records in size! The number of carrier-based aircraft even reached three hundred!”
