78: Chapter 77 Global Excitement: China's Youngest Lieutenant General Receives Congratulations from Various Countries

Central Death Valley.

The last wisp of nuclear radiation energy was absorbed by Godzilla.

Luo Yu stood on top of Godzilla's head, waving at the special camera positioned far away.

"That's all for today, see you tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the global live broadcast officially ended.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room felt a bit numb. Even after the broadcast ended, once they reacted, they started madly flooding the screen with comments.

"Holy crap, did you see that? Godzilla actually danced in a nuclear explosion?"

"Twenty nuclear bombs, just like that."

"That was 200 million tons of TNT equivalent, and Godzilla didn't even lose a single scale. It's truly terrifying."

"Eagle Country Captain didn't die unjustly. Is this kind of monster someone he can scheme against?"

"From today on, who would dare say nuclear weapons are humanity's strongest weapon?"

"..."

In contrast, on major social media platforms, the video of Godzilla dancing in the nuclear explosion was being frenziedly shared.

In just half an hour, the view count exceeded two billion.

Countless netizens around the world made memes and viral videos, setting the footage of Godzilla stepping on nuclear bombs to all kinds of hypnotic music.

"Have you learned Godzilla's dance steps?"

"Nuclear explosion disco, check it out."

"I suggest burning more paper money at Eagle Country Captain's grave; after all, his nuclear bombs gave Godzilla an extra meal."

Within the Dragon Country, netizens were even more jubilant.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu is awesome!"

"Godzilla is mighty!"

"This is our Dragon Country hero."

"Abyssal Giant Beast: Is it time for us to tremble?"

"..."

Eagle Country, The Hundred Palaces.

In the President's office.

"Phew... finally, nothing went wrong."

The President slumped in his chair, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

"Mr. President, fortunately, we informed Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu in advance, otherwise..." The Minister of Finance stood to the side, the cold sweat on his forehead still not wiped dry.

"Otherwise, Eagle Country would be finished."

The President interrupted him with a gloomy expression.

Damn it, he now wished he could dig up Eagle Country Captain's corpse and whip it again.

This idiot.

Even after death, he's digging a hole for Eagle Country.

Twenty nuclear bombs.

If Luo Yu hadn't known and was directly bombed, what if Godzilla got angry?

By then, let alone dealing with nuclear waste, whether Eagle Country could escape unscathed would be a problem.

"Issue a statement immediately," the President took a deep breath and ordered. "Announce to the outside world that Eagle Country Captain's previous actions were personal and had nothing to do with the government."

"Yes."

"And also..." the President paused and added, "Remove all of Eagle Country Captain's statues. From today on, he is no longer a hero of Eagle Country, but a complete sinner."

"Understood."

The Minister of Finance turned and left.

The President sat back in his chair and picked up the document on the table.

It was the latest intelligence on the East Coast Pollution Zone.

【Mutated Beast: Super Great White Shark】

【Level: Beyond SSS+, equivalent to a half-step fifth-order Abyssal Giant Beast】

【Size: Over 300 meters】

【Threat Level: Extremely High】

【Characteristics: Underwater Overlord, Ultrasonic Attack, Regeneration Ability】

"Half-step fifth-order..."

The President rubbed his temples.

This great white shark was Eagle Country's biggest trouble.

Ten of the most advanced mechs besieged it, and they were all wiped out.

The Super Eight-Man Squad went, but they also returned in a miserable defeat.

They didn't announce it to avoid causing panic; now they could only count on Luo Yu and Godzilla.

"Now it depends on Godzilla's performance."

The President muttered to himself.

"..."

On the other side.

Luo Yu had returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, he took out his phone to check his bank account.

【Received: 10,000,000,000 USD】

【Received: 1,500,000,000 USD】

"One billion USD in compensation, 1.5 billion USD in live broadcast revenue share..."

Luo Yu grinned subconsciously.

Coming to Eagle Country this time, not only did Godzilla get full, but he also made a lot of money himself.

Over 2 billion USD, converted to dragon coin is over 10 billion.

"I'm rich."

Hiss!

Godzilla lay by the bed, its vertical pupils staring at him.

"What, do you want pocket money too?"

Hiss hiss!

"Fine, fine, I'll buy you nuclear bombs to eat when we get back."

Luo Yu smiled and patted its head.

The next second, just as Luo Yu intended to continue playing on his phone,

Buzz buzz buzz!

The phone rang.

It was General Zhankuang.

Luo Yu answered the video call without thinking.

"Luo Yu." General Zhan Kuang's face appeared on the screen, his face full of smiles. "You did a great job again today."

"It was okay," Luo Yu said politely. "Just a routine operation, no need to make a fuss."

"Okay?" General Zhan Kuang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "This is no routine operation. Do you know what the whole world is discussing right now?"

"Discussing what?"

"Discussing how nuclear weapons are ineffective against Godzilla." General Zhan Kuang's tone carried a hint of pride. "From today on, those countries that want to threaten us with nuclear weapons will have to think twice."

"That's good."

"By the way..." General Zhan Kuang seemed to think of something, a smile appearing on his face. "There is some good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

"The Dragon Country high command has decided to promote you directly to Lieutenant General."

"Lieutenant General?" Luo Yu looked surprised.

He was currently a Lieutenant Colonel, and going straight to Lieutenant General, this rate of promotion was simply astonishing.

"Yes, Lieutenant General," General Zhan Kuang said in a serious tone. "The high command wanted to promote you a long time ago, but... you grew too fast, and the speed of your military rank promotion simply couldn't keep up with your achievements."

"Seeing your performance in Eagle Country this time, the high command stopped hesitating and promoted you across several levels."

"From today on, you are the youngest Lieutenant General in Dragon Country."

"..."

Luo Yu was silent for a few seconds.

To be honest, he really wasn't interested in military rank.

Lieutenant Colonel was fine, but... since the country wanted to promote him, it was hard to refuse.

After all, he was truly patriotic.

"Alright."

Thinking about how he had already handed over Godzilla to the country, Luo Yu said in a solemn tone, "I thank the country for its trust in me."

"Hahaha, that's right."

General Zhan Kuang added with a smile: "By the way, I also benefited from your light and was promoted from Major General to Lieutenant General."

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations to you too."

After chatting for a while longer, General Zhan Kuang hung up the video call.

Luo Yu put down his phone and lay on the bed.

"Lieutenant General..." He stroked the Godzilla on his shoulder and muttered to himself, "Godzilla, it's all your credit."

Hiss!

Godzilla's tail was held high in the air, acting all proud.

"..."

At the same time.

The Dragon Country authorities issued an official announcement directly.

【Breaking News!】

【After research and decision by the Supreme Command Headquarters of Dragon Country, in view of the outstanding contributions made by Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu in fighting the Abyssal Giant Beast and cleaning up nuclear radiation zones, he is specially approved for an across-the-board promotion to the rank of Lieutenant General!】

【Lieutenant General Luo Yu, only eighteen years old, is the youngest Lieutenant General in the history of Dragon Country!】

【Let us pay tribute to this hero!】

As soon as the announcement came out, the global internet, which was already boiling, set off another super giant wave.

"Holy crap, an eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General?"

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated, Lieutenant General Luo Yu deserves this rank."

"Yes, he had Godzilla clean up so many nuclear radiation zones, and he has to fight the Abyssal Giant Beast, he absolutely deserves it."

"Godzilla is mighty!"

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu is awesome!"

"..."

"..."

At the same moment, the high command of various countries also received the news.

Northern Border Federation, The Kremlin.

"An eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General..." The President looked at the intelligence, a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. President, should we make a statement?" The Minister of National Defense asked.

"Of course," the President nodded decisively. "Issue a statement immediately, congratulating Lieutenant General Luo Yu on his promotion, and at the same time express our friendly attitude toward Dragon Country."

"Understood."

"..."

Western European Alliance Headquarters.

"An eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General..." The Chairman looked at the intelligence and fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Chairman, should we make a statement?" The French Representative asked.

"Of course," the Chairman thought for a moment before saying slowly, "Issue a statement, congratulating Lieutenant General Luo Yu on his promotion, and at the same time call on all parties to strengthen cooperation."

"Understood."

"..."

Japan, Prime Minister's Office.

"An eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General..." The Prime Minister looked at the intelligence, his face pale and powerless.

How he wished Luo Yu was Japanese?

By then, Japan could punch other countries, kick the Abyssal Giant Beast, and directly become the world leader.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we..." The secretary stopped mid-sentence.

"We can't do anything," the Prime Minister shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "Dragon Country won't pay attention to us."

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's take it one step at a time."

The Prime Minister slumped in his chair, his eyes full of despair.

"..."

Eagle Country, The Hundred Palaces.

"An eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General..." The President looked at the intelligence and took a deep breath.

"Mr. President, the Northern Border Federation has already made a statement, should we make one?" A high-ranking government official asked.

"Of course," the President said very affirmatively. "Issue a statement immediately, congratulating Lieutenant General Luo Yu on his promotion, and at the same time express our friendly attitude toward Dragon Country."

"Understood."

"..."

Within Dragon Country, netizens were completely crazy.

On major social platforms, news about Luo Yu's promotion to Lieutenant General was being frenziedly forwarded.

In just one hour, the topic's popularity exceeded 10 billion.

Countless netizens made memes and videos to celebrate Luo Yu's promotion.

Baijiang City.

Luo Yu's alma mater, Baijiang No. 3 Middle School.

Principal Li Jianguo stood in front of Luo Yu's statue, his face full of pride.

"An eighteen-year-old Lieutenant General..."

"Our school has produced an amazing person."

The surrounding students were also gathered in front of the statue, their eyes full of admiration.

"Senior Luo Yu is so amazing."

"I also want to be like him and become a hero of Dragon Country."

"Yes, we must work hard to cultivate and defend Dragon Country in the future."

"..."

East Sea Defense Line Command Center.

"This kid Luo Yu, every country is congratulating him."

General Zhan Kuang stood in front of the command console, looking at the explosive news on the big screen, his face full of smiles.

"Yeah?"

"Countries scrambling to send congratulations, it can be considered creating unprecedented history."

The surrounding officers also smiled.

"Hahaha, that's right."

General Zhan Kuang laughed and said, "Our Dragon Country hero should be worshipped by the whole world."
