424: Chapter 424: The one who draws the cake is not serious

Then, on April 15, 2055, another explosive piece of news broke.

The Great Sun Country announced the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations with the North Asia Ulan Neutral Zone.

Huaguo Assembly: “…”

It was confirmed; it was highly likely that Oriental Chen was behind it.

“Xiao Chen, tell me honestly, is all this commotion in the Great Sun Country recently due to your manipulation?” Commander Yan Zhengping asked curiously over the phone.

“Commander Yan, aren’t you overestimating me? That’s a country; do I have that kind of ability?” Oriental Chen denied it.

He definitely couldn't admit it.

He wanted to use the Great Sun Country to wreak havoc on the entire world, so how could he take the blame for this?

“If it wasn’t you, why did Higashida Hirofumi immediately disband the China Invasion Expeditionary Force after his downfall and establish diplomatic relations with your side?” Yan Zhengping asked.

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m a businessman. They were willing to give me crystalss, so I reluctantly agreed to establish diplomatic relations with them,” Oriental Chen said.

“Give you crystalss? Why? Because you have a big face?” Yan Zhengping didn’t believe him.

“Commander Yan, talking like this is truly meaningless. In my opinion, this is typical wealth envy,” Oriental Chen said.

“Wealth envy? Stop playing games with me! Be honest, you haven’t been aiding the enemy, have you?” Yan Zhengping thought of a possibility.

“I haven’t, how could I, don’t talk nonsense!” Oriental Chen flatly denied it.

Alright, it's confirmed!

If this guy really hadn't aided the enemy, he would have been yelling by now.

“Xiao Chen, do you know how serious the consequences of doing this are? If they use this equipment to attack Huaguo, do you know how many people will die?” Yan Zhengping sternly reprimanded him.

Oriental Chen knew that this matter couldn't be kept secret forever.

Tens of thousands of Soldiers in the Great Sun Country were already wearing Combat Suits; a simple investigation would expose everything.

“Commander Yan, listen to me, this isn’t what you think!” Oriental Chen prepared to explain.

“I’m not listening!” Yan Zhengping roared.

“…” Oriental Chen felt that the line was strange and immediately got goosebumps.

“Alright, I admit I’ve been stirring up trouble in the Great Sun Country, but I’ve tampered with all the equipment I sold them. As long as they don’t attack Huaguo, there’s no problem. Do you understand what I mean? It’s not just the Great Sun Country; a while ago, the Olos Country also purchased a lot of equipment from me, and they’ve all been tampered with,” Oriental Chen said, coaxing him like a child.

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true! Think about it, would I dig my own grave? If they used the equipment I made to attack me, wouldn’t that be the biggest joke?” Oriental Chen said.

“That’s true!”

“Exactly! Otherwise, why would the China Invasion Expeditionary Force be disbanded? Because once they discover the Combat Suits are ineffective, my act will be over. So, Old Yan, you can’t tell anyone about this, understood?” Oriental Chen even called him Old Yan.

“Alright, I’ll trust you this once, kid!” Yan Zhengping nodded in agreement.

“Oh, right, how are the rats being bred?” Yan Zhengping asked.

“More than 100 have been bred now. Wait a bit longer, and once there are roughly over a thousand, I’ll send them over to you,” Oriental Chen said.

“Good!” Yan Zhengping replied with satisfaction.

…

Although Putian Xiaoyezi was a bit arrogant, she was still very capable.

Now, with Oriental Chen’s support, she was truly in her element.

After completing the reforms of the cabinet and the military, she began to launch the military industrial project construction plan.

First was the navy.

Putian Xiaoyezi, following Oriental Chen’s instructions, cordoned off a shipyard in Miyazaki City, planning to build a naval base there.

He said he was going to build a naval base, but Putian Xiaoyezi thought he was just giving him empty promises.

Don't you need workers to build a base? Don't you need construction equipment? Don't you need raw materials?

Just enclosing a large area with corrugated iron was enough?

That's too perfunctory, isn't it?

Later, he went back and forth several times, but there was no movement at all on the construction site.

Later, he simply stopped going.

The person making the promise wasn't serious, so why should he, the one receiving the promise, be so serious?

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

June 18, 2056 A.D.

On this day, Putian Xiaoyezi received a message from Oriental Chen saying that the naval base was built and he should go to take over.

After the handover, Soldiers could be arranged to move in.

Putian Xiaoyezi was stunned.

Are you kidding?

You made a promise, and after making it, you actually expect me to believe it!?

But since Oriental Chen specifically gave the order, even if it was just for show, he had to go.

Afterward, shouting “It’s so good!” would count as completing the mission.

Indeed!

When he led his troops to the Miyazaki Shipyard, the circle of corrugated iron fences was still there. Weeds grew all around, with no sign of construction whatsoever.

“A few people, go and tear this down,” Putian Xiaoyezi commanded.

Several Soldiers ran over and cleared a path in minutes.

Putian Xiaoyezi led the way in.
