127: Announcement: The moon belongs to the Great Xia Kingdom!

Eagle Country.

The White House Oval Office.

Opden held the phone, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

On the other end of the phone, the Eagle Country UN Representative complained incessantly:

“Mr. President!”

“The UN General Assembly meeting collapsed!”

“Great Xia Country's attitude is extremely tough. They said if we aren't convinced, we should just go to war with them.”

“Furthermore, all the countries in the Desert Region have sided with Great Xia Country against us...”

After listening, Opden furiously slammed the phone down.

He stood up abruptly, his chest heaving violently.

“fuck!”

“A bunch of idiots who only know how to sell oil!”

“Have they forgotten who helped stabilize their regimes?!”

“And Great Xia Country, how dare they be so arrogant?”

He recalled that half a year ago, when Great Xia Country was oppressed by Eagle Country, they were still subservient and timid.

Now, they dare to step on their heads and throw their weight around.

Once upon a time!

These used to be their own unspoken words!

Launching wars against other countries at the drop of a hat.

Now, the tables have turned.

The situation filled Opden with frustration.

Yet, he had no way to deal with Great Xia Country.

Just then!

Remundo rushed in, her high heels clicking.

The wrinkles on her face were deep enough to kill a mosquito, and she shouted in panic:

“Mr. President!”

“Latest news! Those lunatics in Great Xia Country are selling large quantities of advanced fourth and fifth-generation fighter jets to the Desert Region countries.”

“The estimated value exceeds a trillion!”

Opden grew even angrier upon hearing this news.

“fuck!”

“Are those countries looking for death?”

“I can't deal with Great Xia Country, but I can't deal with them?”

“Go, call Pitt here!”

“Yes, Mr. President!”

Remundo was just about to turn around.

The secretary rushed in, his face full of panic, and reported with a trembling voice:

“Mr. President...”

“Great Xia Country... Great Xia Country just issued an announcement!”

Opden's heart sank abruptly.

“Read it!”

“Announcement content: Moon resources are first come, first served.”

“Great Xia Country has completed the first manned moon landing and possesses actual control.”

“Effective immediately, the Moon is under the jurisdiction of Great Xia Country.”

“Those who object can try to land on the Moon and compete for it.”

“But they will bear the consequences!”

“Bang!”

Opden clenched his fist and slammed it hard onto the desk.

His chest heaved violently, as if it were about to explode.

“They've rebelled! They've rebelled!”

“They are trying to monopolize the entire space!”

Remundo and the secretary stood aside, not daring to speak.

Great Xia Country issuing such a forceful announcement.

It was clearly intended to monopolize all resources on the Moon.

If any other country had issued such an announcement.

They would, at most, have found it amusing.

But Great Xia Country actually has the power to develop the Moon's resources.

Only Great Xia Country possesses this capability.

A moment later.

Opden calmed down and said in a deep voice:

“Continue to increase investment in space research and development.”

“Gather all high-end talents from around the world.”

“We must successfully achieve a manned moon landing before Great Xia Country finishes constructing their Moon Base!”

“This is the last chance for us, Eagle Country!”

Remundo nodded, “Should we convene a Congressional meeting now?”

“Go!”

Opden waved his hand.

He understood in his heart.

Directly confronting Great Xia Country now was definitely impossible.

They could only strive to catch up.

This was their last chance... Meanwhile.

The red announcement title on the official website of the Great Xia Country Ministry of Commerce was particularly glaring.

In just ten minutes, the number of shares exceeded 100 million.

The comment sections beneath various reposts were filled with excitement.

“Holy shit! That is so domineering!”

“Haha, this is amazing! This is the benefit brought by technological development.”

“Which bastards said technological development was useless? Come out here and take two steps!”

“I feel like I'm dreaming! In just half a year, the country has become so powerful.”

“I know! It's practically divine assistance!”

“...”

The announcement was passed by word of mouth among the people of Great Xia Country.

People could be seen everywhere on the streets discussing it.

Their eyes were full of excitement and pride.

Even taxi drivers on the street couldn't help but open their windows and shout along.

“The Moon is ours!”

“I'm so happy!”

Even the countryside was filled with excitement.

In a certain place, villagers gathered around.

Looking at the announcement content.

Every single one of them was filled with excitement.

“Diuka me! Our country has finally risen up this time!”

“Let's see which country dares to come out and run their mouth later. We'll just kill them!”

“The Moon belongs to our Great Xia Country from now on! Whoever tries to steal it will be killed!”

Some even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The crackling sounds were like celebrating the New Year... On the international internet, however, it was a different scene.

The comments from Eagle Country Netizens were full of anger:

“fuck! Great Xia Country is practicing hegemony!”

“The Moon belongs to all mankind and must be shared!”

“Opden, hurry up and send our starship to the Moon! We need to occupy the Moon too!”

“...”

Eagle Country Netizens finally experienced the taste of being bullied.

Before, they were always high and mighty, bullying others.

Now that the roles were reversed, they couldn't accept it!

At the same time.

A few Little Baga in Sakura Country who had internet access also joined the commotion.

“baka! How dare Great Xia Country!”

“Great Xia Country is a bandit, actually trying to monopolize the Moon.”

“We absolutely cannot let Great Xia Country succeed! Eagle Country, you go fight them!”

The comment section was full of angry expressions.

Especially since they were living so miserably now.

Great Xia Country was the culprit behind everything.

It was because of Great Xia Country that the Sakura Country's economy had regressed 80 years.

South Korea Netizens began to display their shamelessness again.

“aishibal! Great Xia Country must have stolen our technology again!”

“Their scientists' ancestors must have been from our South Korea.”

“We must make those scientists return to our South Korea to acknowledge their ancestry!”

“...”

But no one responded to them at all.

They were just left barking like dogs, full of self-importance!

On the other side.

European Union Space Agency.

Marco stared at the announcement and sighed heavily.

“It's over.”

“We have completely lost our chance at the Moon's resources.”

The Gaul Chicken scientist next to him shook his head.

“We had previously wanted to cooperate with Great Xia Country.”

“Now it seems they don't need us at all.”

The John Bull scientist clenched his fist.

“So what do we do?”

“Are we just going to watch Great Xia Country monopolize space?”

No one answered.

In the conference room, there was only heavy breathing.

In the end, they could only pin their hopes on Eagle Country.

They decided to unite with Eagle Country to develop the starship together.

Striving to achieve a manned moon landing as quickly as possible.

And then occupy some of the Moon's resources.

Otherwise, the Moon really would be swallowed whole by Great Xia Country.

On the other side.

India's capital.

Old Immortal Dimo was holding a grand live press conference.

He faced the camera, looking arrogant.

“Hello, everyone!”

“I announce that India will achieve a manned moon landing in one week!”

“In one week!”

“Our astronauts will fly out of the Blue Star!”

“And plant the Indian national flag on the Moon!”

“Great Xia Country wants to monopolize the Moon? Dream on!”

He waved his arms, saliva flying everywhere.

The Indian citizens present were filled with fanaticism.

“Long live the Holy Cow!”

“Long live the motherland of India!”

“Our India is the strongest.”

Every one of those Little Asan looked pumped up, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They firmly believed that since Old Immortal Dimo dared to publicly convene a press conference.

He definitely had enough confidence!

In the live stream.

India Netizens were even more excited.

“That's great!”

“It's finally India's turn to rise!”

“Let Great Xia Country see who the true space power is!”

“This time, we must let the whole world witness the greatness of our India!”
