49: They've secured a staggering 80 billion yuan in arms sales orders!

Little Marcos grew more excited as he spoke.

His eyes filled with a sinister glint:

"On the day of the joint military exercise."

"Organize a large number of fishermen to pretend to cross the border!"

"Send a few more fishing boats, with cameras, to rush into Great Xia Country's restricted navigation zone!"

"As long as Great Xia Country's patrol ships dare to intercept them."

"The 8-nation fleet will use 'protecting fishermen' as an excuse and directly surround the patrol ships!"

"At that time, hehe..."

He grew more excited as he spoke.

His spit even sprayed onto the Director of Intelligence's face.

The Director of Intelligence's face was full of excitement.

His eyes shone like a hungry wolf's:

"The President is brilliant!"

"This way, we don't have to actually go to war, and we can still get our revenge!"

"What a relief!"

The Minister of National Defense also slapped his thigh:

"Right! Even if Great Xia Country doesn't take the bait."

"We can still claim 'being bullied' internationally to gain sympathy!"

The executives in the conference room all expressed their support.

"I agree! I'll arrange the fishermen; I guarantee they'll act convincingly!"

"The propaganda department has already prepared the press release, just waiting for the 'conflict' to happen!"

"I'll coordinate with the 8 nations; they'll definitely be willing to cooperate!"

More than a dozen hands were raised simultaneously, with no one opposing.

Little Marcos looked at the scene before him, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Very good! On November 11th, we'll make Great Xia Country 'famous'!"

...United Nations Headquarters Hall.

Reporters surrounded representatives from various countries, pressing them with questions.

"What is your country's view on Great Xia Country's statement?"

"Will you support Fei Hou Country's 'compensation demands'?"

The Sakura Country representative didn't even lift his head, flipping through the documents in his hand: "No comment for now."

The South Korea representative hurried away, only leaving a "monitoring the situation" before disappearing into the elevator.

Even the Australia, which had been the most boisterous before.

Only vaguely said, "respecting national sovereignty."

Throughout the hall.

No one dared to answer directly.

Everyone knew!

The current Great Xia Country was not a soft persimmon to be kneaded at will.

Destroying Fei Hou Country's broken warship.

And daring to make such a harsh statement.

It was enough to prove Great Xia Country's resilience.

At such a time, whoever dared to provoke Great Xia Country.

Perhaps the next one to 'disappear' would be them.

White House of Eagle Sauce.

Trump looked at the statement released by Great Xia Country and completely lost his temper.

"fuck!"

"The military exercise on November 11th must hit Great Xia Country hard!"

Minister of National Defense Pete stood by.

Holding the military exercise plan in his hand:

"Don't worry, Mr. President!"

"Sakura Country's izumo and other warships have already set sail."

"South Korea's sejong the great ship is also heading towards the South China Sea."

Trump calmed down and asked:

"What about India? Where is their aircraft carrier battle group?"

"India's aircraft carrier has already passed Malacca and will arrive soon!" Pete explained.

Trump nodded.

"Then let Sakura Country and Fei Hou Country charge first, and our aircraft carriers will provide support from behind."

"This time, we must make Great Xia Country submit!"

"No matter what, we cannot let Great Xia Country continue to be so arrogant."

"Even if it means using Sakura Country as cannon fodder, we won't hesitate!"

"Understood, Mr. President!" Pete quickly agreed...Ping Guo Company Headquarters.

Cook sat in his office.

The computer screen in front of him displayed the latest announcement released by Great Xia Country.

"It's over!"

"Great Xia Country is so strong."

"Isn't my 50 billion just wasted?"

At this moment.

Cook finally realized.

No wonder Great Xia Country signed the contract with him so readily back then.

And the staff member's gaze at him always felt strange at the time.

Now, upon careful recollection.

Wasn't that the look one gives a fool?

"fuck!"

"How could I have been so stupid back then?"

"The other three companies in Great Xia Country didn't even get to buy quantum chip."

"Why would they sell it to me?"

The more he thought about it, the more Cook felt he was truly foolish.

"Slap, slap!"

Cook, filled with regret, slapped himself.

Suddenly!

His phone suddenly rang.

Cook stopped his self-abuse, took out his phone, and looked.

It was the name of Apple's largest shareholder.

He took a deep breath and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected.

An angry roar came through:

"Cook! Where's the quantum chip?!"

"Why haven't I seen it yet?"

"Did you and Great Xia Country collude to embezzle the 50 billion?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Cook hastily explained, "I'm also pressing them; it should be soon!"

"Soon?" The shareholder's voice grew fiercer, "If I don't see the chip by next week, you can expect to be fired!"

With a snap, the call ended.

Cook held his phone, his eyes filled with grievance and unwillingness.

He looked at the tall buildings outside the window.

The scene of him throwing money to buy the quantum chip flashed before his eyes.

"50 billion...really gone down the drain..."

Tears streamed down his cheeks, dripping onto the floor.

He suddenly understood.

Apple didn't lose to Huawei.

It lost to Great Xia Country's entire technology.

The Great Xia Country of today.

Was no longer the country that had to pander to Eagle Sauce.

And he, still viewing Great Xia Country with his old mindset.

That's why this tragedy occurred!

Perhaps Apple would also eventually reach its end...Military Logistics Equipment Department, Reception Room.

At this time, the military representative was receiving a Middle Eastern tycoon team.

Representative Sate, wearing a white robe with gold trim.

Playing with a pigeon-egg-sized gem ring in his hand, he spoke with grand words.

"Representative Liu!"

"Laser Cannon, we want 10 sets!"

"Your old model was 100 million per set?"

"We'll pay 1 billion for the new model! As long as it can be delivered immediately!"

The UAE representative nodded along, "We also want 8 sets! Money is not an issue; we can pay the full amount today!"

The Qatar representative was even more direct, pulling out a black card: "We want 50 sets, transfer 50 billion first, and we'll make up the difference if it's not enough!"

A group of tycoons sat on the sofa.

There was no hesitation on their faces.

They had seen the video of Great Xia Country's Laser Cannon destroying Eagle Sauce's global hawk.

They knew how powerful this thing was.

Compared to money.

Being able to protect their homeland's security was the most important thing.

Representative Liu sat in the main seat, smiling and waving his hand: "Thank you all for your kindness and support for our Great Xia Country."

"The new model Laser Cannon can be exported, but only a Censored version ( Censored version - ' castration' means to castrate, ' version' means version, implying a ' Censored version' is a ' castration' or 'cut-down' version of the original. So, it's a 'reduced' or 'downgraded' version. The most natural English equivalent would be ' Censored version' or ' Censored version version')."

"Its range is 150 kilometers, but other performances remain unchanged."

"If you don't accept..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

"150 kilometers?" Representative Sate interrupted excitedly, "That's enough! It's completely sufficient for our country!"

The UAE representative also eagerly said: "150 kilometers is already very powerful! Let's sign the contract now!"

The Qatar representative pushed the black card over: "Transfer the full amount now! When can it be delivered?"

They were afraid Great Xia Country would back out.

They couldn't wait to sign the contract immediately.

And then pay the full amount right away.

Seeing their eagerness, Representative Liu.

Didn't bother to explain and directly had someone print the contract.

Soon, the contract was printed.

Representative Liu handed them to the Middle Eastern representatives respectively.

"Delivery within one week."

"Additionally, we also provide services for subsequent maintenance and upgrades!"

"Of course, these are also chargeable."

The Middle Eastern tycoons, upon hearing this, became even happier.

"Charging is good!"

"We're afraid of problems with free services!"

Pens rapidly signed the contracts.

They didn't care about spending money at all.

Being able to buy top-tier weapons from Great Xia Country.

Was in itself an honor and a guarantee.

Given the current international situation.

Only Great Xia Country's weapons could ensure their safety.

After the contracts were signed.

Representative Sate asked with anticipation:

"Representative Liu, has your Great Xia Country considered stationing troops in our country?"

"The kind where you can plant whatever you want!"
