121: Chapter 120: Reactions from Various Countries, the Confidence of the Dragon Nation, Might Makes Perfect

That is right, the global network had gone completely crazy.

"Holy crap! Hollow Earth World?"

"Ape Clan? Over fifty thousand Giant Apes?"

"There are Abyss rifts in the Hollow Earth World too, thank goodness Godzilla sealed them."

"Eagle Country: I am done for."

"Hahaha, Eagle Country discovered the entrance to the Hollow Earth World, only for the control to be snatched away by the Dragon Country."

"General Luo is awesome!"

"Godzilla V587!"

"..."

In an instant, the barrage of comments scrolled by so fast they were impossible to read.

...

Eagle Country, The Hundred Palaces.

Inside the President's office.

The President stared at the live broadcast screen, his face deathly gloomy, and muttered through gritted teeth, "Dragon Country, they are slapping us in the face, aren't they?"

"Mr. President." The Minister of National Defense's face was also somewhat ugly, but he still braced himself and said, "The whole world knows now; even without the Dragon Country, we have no way to monopolize the Hollow Earth World."

"Then negotiate with the Dragon Country."

The President stood up, unwilling to accept this, and said, "No matter the cost, we must obtain a quota to enter the Hollow Earth World and cooperate in its development."

"Yes."

...

Meanwhile.

Northern Border Federation.

The President watched the press conference, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke: "Contact the Dragon Country. We are willing to provide nuclear waste and heavy mecha technology in exchange for quotas to enter the Hollow Earth World and the qualifications for cooperation."

"Yes."

Western European Alliance.

The Chairman rubbed his temples, sighed, and said,

"The Dragon Country has won again this time. Contact them and see if we can discuss cooperation."

"Yes."

...

Japan.

No,

inside a military base on a deserted island,

the Prime Minister, looking like a stray dog, watched the news, despair flashing in his eyes.

"Do we... still have a chance?"

"..."

No one answered.

Because everyone knew that Japan had been rebuilt and completely changed, and the previous top brass had all been completely abandoned by the Dragon Country.

...

Dragon Country, Capital City,

inside a top-level military conference room.

General Zhankuang watched the heated discussions on major global social platforms, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"The effect is not bad."

"It is more than not bad." General Lie Huo laughed, "Now the whole world knows that the Hollow Earth World is under our jurisdiction."

"Eagle Country must be furious." General Hanbing said with schadenfreude.

"Let them be furious." General Leiting didn't care and said, "Who told them they didn't have the ability to control the Hollow Earth World themselves?"

"However..."

A high-ranking civilian official frowned, "Various countries will definitely come to negotiate, we must be prepared."

"Prepare for what?"

General Zhan Kuang said indifferently, "The Hollow Earth World was conquered by Luo Yu and Godzilla, we are in the right."

"That may be true, but international relations are very complex."

"Complex my ass." General Zhan Kuang said dismissively, "This is the Abyss Era, whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules. We have Godzilla, who dares to defy us?"

"..."

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

Indeed.

In the face of absolute strength,

all schemes and plots were a joke.

"Then what shall we do next?" asked General Lie Huo.

"Wait." General Zhan Kuang leaned back in his chair and said, "Wait for the countries to take the initiative to talk, then we will name our price."

"What price to ask?"

"nuclear waste, rare minerals, advanced technology." General Zhan Kuang counted on his fingers, "Ask for as much as we can."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Hehe!!

This time the Dragon Country was really going to make a fortune again.

...

At the same time.

Eagle Country,

Asgala State base.

Luo Yu, Su Zhiruo, and Su Qingxue were eating in the cafeteria.

Godzilla was lying on the table with a plate of nuclear energy compressed biscuits in front of him.

"Hiss..."

The next second, Godzilla bit off a piece, chewed twice, and swallowed it happily.

"Is it good?" Su Zhiruo asked with a smile.

"Hiss, hiss."

Godzilla nodded happily.

"Then eat more."

Before the words fell,

Colonel Jensen walked into the cafeteria with a very ugly expression.

"General Luo."

Jensen walked up to Luo Yu, "Mr. President wants to talk to you."

"Talk about what?"

Luo Yu was cutting his steak without raising his head.

"About cooperation regarding the Hollow Earth World."

"Oh." Luo Yu took a bite of steak and said lightly, "I am not interested."

"..."

Jensen was stunned for a second before he raised his tone and said, "General Luo, this is a major matter between the two countries..."

"Then let the top brass of the two countries talk." Luo Yu didn't give him any face, cutting him off directly, "I am just a soldier, I am not responsible for diplomacy."

"But..."

"Colonel Jensen." Luo Yu looked up at him and said word by word, "I am eating now, please do not disturb me."

"..."

Jensen opened his mouth,

but in the end,

he turned and left.

He knew that

Luo Yu was clearly showing he did not want to talk.

If he angered Luo Yu and caused uncontrollable consequences, that would be the end of it.

"Luo Yu."

Su Qingxue put down her knife and fork and said in a low voice, "Won't you be too tough?"

"No."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "It is Eagle Country begging us now, not us begging Eagle Country. Besides, if you have the strength and are not tough, are you supposed to be a coward?"

"..."

Su Qingxue and Su Zhiruo couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh after hearing this,

That is right!

Godzilla is so powerful, what is there to fear?

Even when facing Eagle Country, just being tough is enough.

"Eat."

Luo Yu didn't care about that much, continued cutting the steak, and said, "We will return to the Dragon Country after eating."

"So fast?"

Su Zhiruo was taken aback.

"Yes." Luo Yu nodded and said, "There is nothing left to stay for in Eagle Country."

"..."

The three continued to eat.

Godzilla finished the nuclear compressed biscuits, yawned, and lay on the table to sleep out of boredom.

Half an hour later.

Luo Yu and the others finished their meal and returned to their dorms to pack their luggage.

Just then.

The communication device rang.

Luo Yu answered.

General Zhan Kuang's face appeared on the screen.

"Luo Yu, did Eagle Country find you?"

"They did."

"What did you say?"

"I said I am just a soldier and am not responsible for diplomacy."

"Hahaha!" General Zhan Kuang laughed, "Well done!"

"Can I go back to the country now?"

"Yes."

General Zhan Kuang nodded and said, "But you have to go to the Northern Border Federation first."

"Northern Border Federation?"

Luo Yu frowned and said, "What for?"

"They want to talk to you about the quotas for entering the Hollow Earth World and cooperation issues." General Zhan Kuang added, "And they are willing to provide a large amount of nuclear waste and heavy mecha technology."

"..."

Luo Yu was silent for a few seconds.

"Alright then."

"Go talk to them, get as much as you can." General Zhan Kuang laughed, "Anyway, the Hollow Earth World is ours, if they want to get in, they have to pay the price."

"Understood."

The communication was cut.

Luo Yu turned to look at Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue.

"Change of plans, we are going to the Northern Border Federation first."

"Okay."

The three packed their luggage,

left the dorm.

Colonel Jensen felt very aggrieved, but had to take the initiative to say, "General Luo, I will take you to the airport."

"Thanks."

The four got into the car.

The convoy drove toward the airport.

On the way, Jensen hesitated to speak.

"Say it if you have something to say." Luo Yu looked at him.

"General Luo..." Jensen hesitated, "Mr. President really wants to cooperate with the Dragon Country to develop the Hollow Earth World."

"I know."

"Then you..."

"Colonel Jensen." Luo Yu reiterated, "This is not something I can decide, you should go find the Dragon Country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"..."

Jensen was silent.

He knew Luo Yu was right.

But he also knew that

Luo Yu had a lot of say in this matter.

After all, the Ape Clan submitted to Godzilla, not the Dragon Country government.

Half an hour later.

The convoy arrived at the airport.

A large transport plane was already waiting.

"General Luo." Jensen saluted, "I wish you a smooth journey."

"Thank you."

Luo Yu took Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue onto the plane.

Godzilla lay on Luo Yu's shoulder and looked back at Jensen.

"Hiss."

Jensen was stunned.

He always felt that Godzilla was mocking him.

The plane took off.

Jensen stood on the tarmac, watching the plane disappear into the sky.

"Sigh..."

He sighed.

This time Eagle Country really suffered a huge loss.

They discovered the Hollow Earth entrance, only to have the control snatched away by the Dragon Country.

It was simply making wedding clothes for others.

In contrast,

as the news exploded and escalated,

major global media were reporting on the Hollow Earth World.

"Shocking! Dragon Country discovers Hollow Earth World, Ape Clan submits!"

"General Luo Yu achieves another great feat, Hollow Earth World belongs to the Dragon Country!"

"Eagle Country: Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice."

"New chapter of the Abyss Era, Hollow Earth World may become the key to humanity's counterattack against the Abyss!"

"..."

Various headlines emerged one after another.

On social platforms, netizens' discussions were even more heated.

"General Luo is awesome!"

"Godzilla is mighty!"

"The rise of the Dragon Country!"

"Eagle Country deserves it, who told them to be so arrogant before."

"Hahaha, know regret now, right?"

"..."

The barrage of comments scrolled so fast they were impossible to read.

At this moment.

Northern Border Federation.

Presidential Palace.

The President watched the news and pondered for a few seconds.

"When will Luo Yu arrive?"

"Expected in three hours." The secretary replied.

"Prepare the highest standard of reception." The President said, "This time we must obtain the development rights for the Hollow Earth World."

"Yes."

"Also." The President paused and added, "Prepare a gift list, nuclear waste, heavy mecha technology, rare minerals, give whatever can be given."

"..."

The secretary was stunned for a moment before subconsciously saying, "Mr. President, wouldn't that be too..."

"Too what?"

The President retorted, "The value of the Hollow Earth World far exceeds these things."

"..."

The secretary nodded sheepishly.

He knew the President was right.

The resources and strategic value of the Hollow Earth World were indeed immeasurable.

If they could get a quota to enter and some development rights, these costs would be worth it.

Three hours later.

Northern Border Federation, Capital Airport.

Luo Yu's transport plane landed slowly.

At the airport,

the President of the Northern Border Federation personally led a team to welcome them.

The cabin door opened.

Luo Yu walked down the plane with Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue.

Godzilla lay on Luo Yu's shoulder, scanning the surroundings with vertical pupils.

"General Luo."

The President walked over quickly, extended his hand happily, and said, "Welcome to the Northern Border Federation."

"Mr. President."

Luo Yu shook his hand.

"These two are..."

"Su Zhiruo, SS-level Space Awakener."

"Su Qingxue, SS-level Ice Awakener."

"Welcome."

The President nodded with a smile, then looked at Godzilla on Luo Yu's shoulder and greeted him, "We meet again."

"Hiss."

Godzilla raised his head, his vertical pupils staring at the President.

The President subconsciously took half a step back, as the invisible pressure made him feel fear instinctively.

"Don't be nervous."

Luo Yu took the initiative to say, "Godzilla doesn't bite."

"Hiss."

Godzilla flicked his tail, looking indifferent.

"Haha..."

The President laughed awkwardly, "Please come with me, I have prepared a banquet."

"No need for such trouble."

Luo Yu said straightforwardly, "Let's just talk about business directly."

"..."

The President was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Luo Yu to be so direct.

"Alright." The President nodded, "Then let's go to the Presidential Palace."

The group got into the car.

The convoy drove toward the Presidential Palace.

On the way, the President asked tentatively, "General Luo, I heard that the Ape Clan in the Hollow Earth World submitted to Godzilla?"

"Yes."

"Then... how does the Dragon Country plan to handle the Hollow Earth World?"

"You should ask the Dragon Country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs this question." Luo Yu leaned back in his seat, "I am just a soldier."

"..."

The President was choked.

He had heard this sentence once today.

"However..." Luo Yu suddenly spoke, "I can give you a piece of advice."

"What advice?"

"Show your sincerity." Luo Yu looked at him, "You should know the value of the Hollow Earth World very well."

"..."

The President showed a thoughtful look,

Just kidding,

the resources, energy, etc., of the Hollow Earth World were all priceless treasures.

If they could get the quota to enter and some development rights, the strength of the Northern Border Federation would be greatly improved.

"I understand."

In the next instant, the President took a deep breath and said, "General Luo, rest assured, we will show enough sincerity."

"That is good."

The convoy arrived at the Presidential Palace.

The three were taken to a luxurious conference room.

The President poured tea himself.

"General Luo, please."

"Thank you."

Luo Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Good tea."

"This is our Northern Border specialty snow mountain black tea." The President laughed, "If General Luo likes it, I can give you some."

"Then thanks."

"You are welcome."

The President sat down and looked at Luo Yu.

"General Luo, let's get straight to the point."

"Please speak."

"The Northern Border Federation is willing to provide one million tons of nuclear waste, ten of the latest heavy mechas, and mining rights to three rare mineral deposits." The President paused and added, "In exchange, we hope to obtain a quota to enter the Hollow Earth World and the qualifications to jointly develop the Hollow Earth World."

"..."

Luo Yu thought for a while before saying in a light tone, "Mr. President, this offer is not enough..."

"Not enough?" The President frowned.

"Yes!!"

Luo Yu nodded and said, "Not only is it not enough, it is far from enough."
