108: Chapter 107 The Dragon Kingdom's Declaration, the Humiliation of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom

One hour later.

Dragon Country, Capital City, Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference hall.

Reporters from hundreds of global media outlets were already in place, with cameras and microphones aimed at the podium.

The Spokesperson walked onto the podium, facing countless lenses with a serious expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this press conference."

The Spokesperson paused and looked around: "Just now, the whole world witnessed the process of Godzilla eliminating the five Tier 6 Mutated Beasts of Japan."

The reporters on the scene nodded excitedly one after another.

"To maintain the security of the East Asia region and even the globe, and to prevent similar incidents from happening again..."

The Spokesperson's voice became more solemn: "The Dragon Country government has decided to establish an East Sea Defense Line outpost base within Japan."

As soon as the words fell.

An uproar immediately erupted at the scene.

"What?"

"Dragon Country wants to build a military base in Japan?"

"This... is this to occupy Japan?"

Reporters raised their hands frantically to ask questions.

The Spokesperson raised a hand to signal for quiet.

"Please let me finish."

"The main duty of the outpost base is to monitor the East Sea Wormhole, clear away any Mutated Beasts and Abyssal Giant Beasts that may appear, and protect the safety of the lives and property of the people in the East Asia region."

"At the same time, the Dragon Country government welcomes the people of Japan to return to their homes, and we will provide necessary humanitarian aid to help them rebuild their homes."

"But..."

The Spokesperson changed the subject: "The establishment of the outpost base is non-negotiable; this is for the safety of all mankind."

After speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded reporters.

There was no help for it; that was just too domineering, wasn't it?

After the news spread.

The global internet boiled over like oil with water added.

"Dragon Country is awesome!"

"This move is too powerful!"

"It's called establishing an outpost base, but in reality, it's occupying Japan."

"Japan: I'm not dead yet, and you've already started dividing my inheritance?"

"Hilarious, the top brass of Japan are probably going to be angered to death right now."

"Serves them right! Who told them to court death."

"Dragon Country is doing this for the safety of all mankind, no problems there."

"Support Dragon Country!"

The barrage of comments scrolled faster than before.

The reactions from the top leaders of various countries were also swift.

Eagle Country, The Hundred Palaces.

"Dragon Country moves really fast."

The President looked at the news, his expression very unnatural.

"Mr. President, should we express our opposition?"

The Minister of National Defense said subconsciously: "We were always the ones building bases; what does Dragon Country want to do?"

"Opposition?"

The President took a deep breath and said helplessly: "With what? Godzilla just eliminated five Tier 6 Mutated Beasts, and now the whole world is thanking Dragon Country. If we jump out to oppose them now, aren't we just asking to be scolded?"

"Then we..."

"Issue a statement."

The President said very reluctantly: "Express our understanding of Dragon Country's decision and our willingness to provide necessary support."

"Yes."

The Minister of National Defense turned and left.

The President sat alone in his office, his fists clenching and cracking.

"Dragon Country... you are becoming more and more arrogant."

Of course, that's what he thought, but the President didn't dare to have any other ideas, simply because with Godzilla there, he had to endure it, hold it in, and still fully support Dragon Country.

Is it painful?

Luo Yu, why isn't he an Eagle Countryman?

Northern Border Federation, The Kremlin.

"Dragon Country is going to turn Japan into their own territory."

The President looked at the news and shook his head with a smile.

"Mr. President, should we state our position?"

The Minister of National Defense asked.

"Of course we should."

The President said with a grin: "Immediately issue a statement supporting Dragon Country's decision."

"Understood."

Western European Alliance Headquarters.

"Dragon Country has played a brilliant move."

The Chairman looked at the news with an expression of admiration on his face.

"Indeed."

The Secretary added: "Mr. Chairman, let us also state our position."

"Hmm."

The Chairman said decisively: "Issue a statement, fully supporting Dragon Country's decision."

Consequently, within just ten minutes, major countries around the world issued statements expressing their support for Dragon Country's decision.

Not a single country opposed it.

Because, who would dare to oppose it?

The strength Godzilla just displayed had already made the whole world understand one principle—whatever Dragon Country says, goes.

Japan, Temporary Command Center.

"Baka!"

The Prime Minister slammed the table and stood up.

"Dragon Country wants to occupy our territory!"

"Mr. Prime Minister..."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs said cautiously: "Now the whole world supports Dragon Country's decision, we... we have no way to stop it."

"I know!"

The Prime Minister said with violent anger: "But I am not reconciled... Japan is our country, by what right does Dragon Country get to build a military base?"

"Because we lack strength."

The Minister of Defense smiled bitterly: "Five Tier 6 Mutated Beasts were all eliminated by Godzilla; what do we have to confront Dragon Country with?"

"..."

The Prime Minister showed a look of frustration and helplessness; he knew the Minister of Defense was right. Japan now had no chips left at all.

The conference room fell into a silent hush.

After a long time, the Prime Minister closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Dragon Country, tell them... Japan is willing to accept Dragon Country's arrangements."

"Yes..."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs turned and left.

The Prime Minister sat alone in his chair, his eyes filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

From today on, Japan... no longer exists.

Dragon Country, East Sea Defense Line, military base.

Luo Yu brought Godzilla back to the base and received a hero's welcome.

Thousands of soldiers lined up to cheer.

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu!"

"Godzilla is mighty!"

"Long live Dragon Country!"

The cheers were earth-shattering.

Luo Yu jumped off Godzilla's head, and Godzilla shrank to thirty centimeters, jumping back onto his shoulder.

"Hiss! (Tired)"

Godzilla yawned.

"Good job, Godzilla."

Luo Yu patted its head.

"Luo Yu!"

General Zhankuang walked over quickly, his face full of smiles.

"General."

"Well done!"

General Zhankuang excitedly patted Luo Yu's shoulder: "Five Tier 6 Mutated Beasts, completely eliminated in fifteen minutes. This battle record is enough to be recorded in the annals of the Abyss Era."

"It's all thanks to Godzilla."

Luo Yu said very politely.

"You were not bad either."

General Zhankuang turned to look at the officers behind him: "Gentlemen, this is the hero of our Dragon Country!"

"Yes!"

All officers saluted at the same time.

"Let's go, to the command center."

General Zhankuang took Luo Yu into the command center.

On the big screen, the reactions of various countries to Dragon Country's decision were being played.

"See that?"

General Zhankuang pointed at the screen and said proudly: "The whole world supports our decision; not a single country opposed it."

"Expected."

Luo Yu shrugged and said calmly: "The strength Godzilla just displayed has already made the whole world understand who the boss is."

"Exactly."

General Zhankuang nodded with a smile: "From today on, Dragon Country's status on the international stage will rise to a new level."

"By the way, what is the reaction from Japan?"

Luo Yu asked curiously.

"Their Prime Minister just contacted our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

General Zhankuang had a playful expression on his face: "Stating that they are willing to accept our arrangements."

"Surrendered?"

"You could say that."

General Zhankuang said significantly: "They are now like stray dogs, sinners of humanity. Apart from surrendering, they have no other choice."

"That's good."

Luo Yu laughed: "What are we going to do next?"

"Rest for two days."

General Zhankuang patted Luo Yu's shoulder: "You and Godzilla are both tired. Get some good rest; we will handle the subsequent matters."

"Okay."

Luo Yu didn't force it.

He had been running continuously since returning from Western Europe; he was indeed a bit tired these past few days.

"By the way, the Supreme Command Headquarters asked me to tell you."

General Zhankuang suddenly remembered something: "Your military rank might be promoted one more level."

"Promoted again?"

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "I am already a Lieutenant General; if I am promoted again, that would be a General, right?"

"Correct."

General Zhankuang said with some emotion: "You are only eighteen years old this year. If you really are promoted to General, that would make you the youngest General in the history of Dragon Country."

"This..."

Luo Yu was a bit surprised.

"Don't be surprised."

General Zhankuang patted his shoulder: "Your contributions are already enough. First Ghidorah, then the Western European Alliance, plus the glorious battle record in Japan, it is enough for you to be promoted to General."

"I understand."

Luo Yu showed a look of realization.

"Go and rest."

General Zhankuang said with a smile: "After you are well-rested, we will discuss the next step of the plan."

"Okay."

Luo Yu turned and left the command center.

Godzilla was lying on his shoulder, already asleep.

"Godzilla, let's go back to the dormitory to sleep."

Luo Yu said softly.

"Hiss..."

Godzilla responded vaguely.

Three days later.

Dragon Country, East Sea Defense Line, military base.

In Luo Yu's exclusive dormitory.

"Comfortable..."

Luo Yu lay on the bed and stretched.

He hadn't done anything for these three days, just eating and sleeping, occasionally accompanying Godzilla to bask in the sun.

Godzilla shrank to thirty centimeters and lay in a specially made nest by the bed, the light on its dorsal fins pulsing steadily.

"Hiss..."

It yawned, turned over, and continued to sleep.

"Godzilla, you are really lazy these past few days."

Luo Yu shook his head with a smile.

"Hiss! (Tired)"

Godzilla responded vaguely.

Just then, the communicator rang.

"Luo Yu, this is General Zhan Kuang."

"General, what is it?"

"I have good news to tell you."

General Zhan Kuang's voice carried a smile: "The Supreme Command Headquarters has just issued an order; you have been promoted to General as an exception."

"General?"

Luo Yu sat up.

"Correct."

General Zhan Kuang said with a smile: "An eighteen-year-old General, the first in the history of Dragon Country."

"This..."

Luo Yu was a bit surprised.

Although General Zhan Kuang had mentioned it before, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

General Zhan Kuang changed the subject: "The construction of the Japan outpost base has already begun, and it is expected to be completed within a month."

"So fast?"

"Yes."

General Zhan Kuang explained: "We have mobilized a large number of engineering troops and mechs, working twenty-four hours a day without interruption, so the speed is very fast."

"Then what is the reaction from Japan?"

"Their Prime Minister has officially announced the dissolution of the government, and the top leaders will also face trial."

General Zhan Kuang's tone carried a playful note, and he added significantly: "The people of Japan are now scattered all over the world, and most of them have expressed their willingness to return to their homes and accept the management of Dragon Country."

"Accept the management of Dragon Country?"

"Yes, the Supreme Command Headquarters has decided that after the outpost base is completed, Japanese people will be allowed to return, but... they must accept the laws and management of Dragon Country."

"Understood."

"Then you rest first."

General Zhan Kuang continued: "After the award ceremony is over, we will discuss the next step of the plan."

"Okay."

Hanging up the communication, Luo Yu lay back on the bed comfortably.

"Godzilla, I am going to be promoted to General."
