163: Chapter 161 Luo Yu's Global Statement: Boss, I've Got You!
Dragon Kingdom, East Sea Defense Line, East Sea Defense Line Command Center.
General Zhankuang handed the joint declaration from various countries to Luo Yu.
"They are only willing to hand over nuclear weapons?" Luo Yu scanned it quickly, his face expressionless, and let out a light chuckle.
"Marshal, this is the greatest sincerity they can offer." General Zhankuang frowned deeply: "After all, handing over nuclear materials and the like means they might not be able to manufacture nuclear weapons in the future. It's truly difficult for them to accept this fully in such a short time."
"Difficult to accept?" Luo Yu stood up and walked to the huge world map.
His gaze fell upon the dense markers of nuclear arsenals on the map, his eyes calm and inscrutable.
"The three kings of the abyss will descend in one year. Their goal is to destroy this world. By then, everything related to nuclear power will, in their eyes, be nothing more than a pile of 'delicacies' that can be absorbed at any time."
General Zhankuang remained silent.
He knew Luo Yu was right, but political considerations were far more complex than pure strength comparisons.
Just like back then, when all countries agreed to launch nuclear missiles at Godzilla to deal with Ghidorah.
Now, the situation is different again...
"Marshal, we must not be too hasty."
General Zhankuang advised softly, "The nations have already taken the first step; this is a positive signal. We can proceed through negotiations, gradually..."
"There is no time left."
Luo Yu interrupted him, his tone calm but unquestionable, "The three kings of the abyss will not give us time to negotiate. They will only bring destruction. Since they are unwilling to offer it voluntarily, then let Godzilla go and take it personally."
General Zhankuang's heart skipped a beat: "Marshal, do you mean..."
"I will issue a statement to the world."
Luo Yu turned around and looked straight at General Zhankuang: "Tell them that Godzilla has claimed all nuclear-related materials, weapons, and so on across the globe. No one can stop him."
"Hiss!!"
General Zhankuang gasped.
He knew that Luo Yu's move would completely shatter the last line of defense in the hearts of all nations and would push Luo Yu and Godzilla into opposition against every country in the world.
This was undoubtedly an even crazier gamble.
"But... Marshal, this will trigger a global backlash, and possibly even war!" General Zhankuang said anxiously.
"War?"
Luo Yu couldn't be bothered to say much: "The war against the three kings of the abyss has already begun. Compared to those 'allies' who are still hesitating and harboring wishful thinking, the three kings of the abyss are the true enemies. If they insist on blocking us, then they are enemies of all mankind."
At this point,
Luo Yu paused, his tone becoming firm: "Since we are gambling, let's make it a big one. Today, I, Luo Yu, shall reshape the order of this world with my own strength."
"..." General Zhankuang looked at Luo Yu's young yet resolute face, and a complex emotion rose in his heart.
He knew that Luo Yu was not arrogant, but possessed absolute strength and a clear understanding of humanity's future.
In this special moment of the Abyss Era,
perhaps only this near-paranoid toughness could truly integrate the strength of humanity.
"I understand, Marshal."
General Zhankuang saluted solemnly, "I will cooperate with your actions with all my might."
Luo Yu nodded in return. Afterward, he walked to the huge display screen in the Command Center, his gaze sweeping over the images broadcasting in real-time the arrival of various national delegations in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
"It is time to let them see reality clearly."
He picked up the communicator on the table. His voice, through the highest authority, instantly spread across the entire Dragon Kingdom military communication network and was simultaneously transmitted to the Supreme Command Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom through encrypted channels.
"I am Luo Yu. I will issue a statement to the world."
The short opening statement instantly made everyone who heard it shiver.
...
Inside the conference room of the Supreme Command Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom.
When Luo Yu's words, "I will issue a statement to the world," came through the communicator,
the intense discussion that had been going on suddenly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed. The Supreme Commander frowned and signaled General Lie Huo to open the video communication with Luo Yu.
Luo Yu's figure appeared on the big screen.
He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the East Sea Defense Line Command Center, with the magnificent ocean in the background.
"I have seen the joint declaration from various countries."
Luo Yu got straight to the point, his voice steady: "Nuclear weapons alone are far from enough for Godzilla to complete his ultimate evolution, nor are they enough to deal with the three kings of the abyss. In the face of the Abyss Era, any compromise or reservation is a crime against all mankind."
"I, Luo Yu, representing the Dragon Kingdom and the last hope of humanity, declare to all countries in the world—Godzilla has claimed all nuclear-related materials, weapons, waste, and so on across the globe. No one can stop him."
As soon as these words were spoken,
a low gasp erupted in the conference room.
Several Old Generals turned pale, and some even clutched their chests.
"Luo Yu! You... you are declaring war on the whole world!" a hawkish general couldn't help but exclaim.
"If 'declaring war' on those countries that harbor wishful thinking and are unwilling to sacrifice is my duty for the sake of humanity's survival, then I, Luo Yu, will not shirk it."
"I will give all countries three days. Within three days, gather all nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, Nuclear Power Plant fuel rods, and so on. I will personally lead Godzilla and Mothra to those countries to 'collect' them. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself."
"This is for the future of humanity and for the development of all countries. Because if the three kings of the abyss descend, the Earth will enter a countdown to destruction. The territories of all countries will become nutrients for the abyss. Do not expect the kings of the abyss to show mercy."
Having said that,
Luo Yu's figure disappeared from the screen, leaving the conference room in dead silence.
"Immediately issue Marshal Luo Yu's statement to all countries in the world with the highest authority."
Not long after,
the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom agreed directly!!
It still comes down to the same thing: abolishing global nuclear weapons is definitely the best outcome for the Dragon Kingdom. Since Godzilla belongs to the Dragon Kingdom, why should the Dragon Kingdom care if other countries are uncomfortable?
"Yes!"
Not long after,
Luo Yu's statement,
swept the globe instantly like a Category 12 hurricane.
When the words, "Godzilla has claimed all 'nuclear' [materials] in the world, and no one can stop him," were transmitted to every corner through major media outlets, with the official status of Marshal Luo Yu, the entire world fell into unprecedented panic and anger.
