Chapter 23 Backstabbing! Tchaikov's Speech Becomes a Joke!
"What on earth are Ohio-class nuclear submarines, Trident intercontinental missiles, and that M270 rocket launcher?"
"Don't ask. The war dungeon created by this player is far more advanced than our Azure Star Civilization. It would be strange if we could understand the things he came up with."
"I am becoming increasingly curious about the true identity of Player No. 009."
"He must be a military bigwig from some country; otherwise, how could he design such a series of weapons so logically?"
"Right, right, right!"
"From the initial aircraft carrier strike group to the current ultimate weapon, these... are all things that the Azure Star Civilization has not yet developed. They are very advanced!"
"As long as we can obtain these rewards from the Skynet, we should be able to easily handle the total war from the Kanluo Civilization, right?"
"That's for sure."
It wasn't just Chaikov who was dumbfounded. There were also countless Azure Star Civilization viewers attracted to the Raging Waves livestream room!
Because many things in the intelligence reported by this officer were things they had never heard of—what are nuclear submarines? What are intercontinental missiles? What on earth are these things?
"I think these should just be the codenames for the equipment and weapons of Raging Waves."
However, these strange terms did not attract Chaikov's deep attention, because he was confident enough in his Iron Torrent army!
In Chaikov's view, even if these suddenly appearing weapons were very strong, they couldn't possibly manage to completely crush the Iron Torrent army he had assembled.
Because the numbers were already right there!
The qualitative change produced by such a number of troops could not be settled by just a few simple weapons!
Thinking of this, Chaikov waved his hand at the officer in front of him, interrupting his continued report:
"Alright! No need to say any more about the rest of the content!"
"Now, what you need to do is arrange an online speech for me within 30 minutes!"
"Compared to the various sanctions initiated by Raging Waves, I believe that making the citizens of Mo Country trust those in power one hundred percent is the most important thing!"
Hearing his Grand Commander say this, the officer's expression instantly became awkward.
It wasn't that arranging an online speech in 30 minutes was difficult. Rather, he felt that the crisis brought about by a hegemon-level country was far greater than the crisis of whether the internal populace was in turmoil!
The support of the people is indeed very important. But the public would also give their Grand Commander some time to react and admit mistakes. But Raging Waves would not!
Once they issue a final ultimatum to a target, what awaits that country is a destructive blow! This is a real-time destruction of a nation!
"Grand Commander—" But just as the officer looked up, he met Chaikov's irrefutable gaze. In the end, he was unable to say what he wanted to say.
"Understood!" After responding, he nodded slightly and turned to leave the Grand Commander's office where Chaikov was.
"System, accelerate time to 30 minutes later." After completing this operation, Chaikov decisively used the Time Acceleration function.
Accompanied by a dazzling light forming around Chaikov, time outside began to advance at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, 30 minutes had passed.
"Knock, knock!" The door to the Grand Commander's office was knocked on again, and the officer who had accepted the order to make arrangements returned to this place.
He saluted Chaikov and then said, "Your Excellency Grand Commander, all matters for the online speech are ready. Now, please proceed to the equipment setup area to deliver the speech."
"Hmm." Chaikov nodded and followed the officer to another location in the Grand Commander's building. Standing in the center where the spotlights converged, he faced the citizens of all Mo Country and the people of the whole world to deliver his speech:
"Fellow citizens!"
"Perhaps it is hard for you to believe that your Grand Commander, who loves freedom and peace, would suddenly launch a war against a neighboring country!"
"But in fact, I have unspeakable difficulties!"
Chaikov had originally wanted to follow the speech draft of the previous Decipherer. But then he thought about it. His situation was completely different from the previous Decipherer!
Besides having his research on the ultimate weapon stopped, he also had his oil blatantly stolen by Raging Waves! Their three aircraft carriers were still docked at the port in the northern bay of Mo Country!
Could he polish the speech draft to achieve the goal of inciting more anger among the public towards Raging Waves? So, Chaikov temporarily tampered with the content of the speech draft!
"Just a few hours ago."
"Raging Waves blatantly approached our region, and what's more, they docked their ships without my permission."
"I think this is very unreasonable!"
"I had a series of phone communications with Raging Waves, but to no avail!"
"Therefore, I ordered the legions to head there to force Raging Waves to retreat through pressure. This was done for everyone's safety!"
Hearing this, the angry public breathed a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, so their Grand Commander had a reason for doing this. The reason he sent troops to the border line was actually to force the neighbors to leave.
"We seem to have wronged Grand Commander Chaikov."
"Yes."
"His intentions must have been good."
On various online forums, people had already started speaking up for Chaikov.
However, just at the moment when the public opinion began to shift towards Chaikov, media in all regions of the world, including Mo Country, suddenly issued an announcement!
"The words spoken by Grand Commander Chaikov are purely fictional!"
"Because the two sides are adjacent, we had long ago signed a win-win cooperation project with the Grand Commander!"
"When Mo Country has project engineering that requires our assistance in mining, we can dispatch personnel to go there, and only after obtaining consent can they enter the territory of Mo Country."
"Before heading to the northern sea area, we had already submitted an entry application and obtained consent! (Evidence as shown in the picture)"
"At the same time,"
"A few hours before arriving at the sea area, we also called Your Excellency Grand Commander to greet him."
"The Grand Commander did not explicitly express refusal!"
"Under the above two circumstances, we chose to enter the good neighbor's area to assist in resource extraction!"
"Therefore, the content spoken by Grand Commander Chaikov is not substantiated!"
"Furthermore, if Grand Commander Chaikov really wanted to force us to leave through such means, he could have completely exposed the evidence and let the world condemn us. There was absolutely no need to wage war without declaring it and secretly mobilize large troops to head there!"
"What, what on earth is going on?" Seeing this, Chaikov was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't agreed to let Raging Waves enter over the phone, but in others' mouths, it became not explicitly refusing? This is too ridiculous!
Besides, as the Grand Commander, why didn't Chaikov know that the two sides had signed a cooperation project? In an instant, a chill shot straight to his scalp. Chaikov understood instantly!
He had been sold out! These terms were likely done by an insider in the high-level of Mo Country!
The insiders of Raging Waves had not only infiltrated the territory of the previous Decipherer, the insiders had infiltrated the territories of all forces in this world! Leaking spies, colluding insiders. The two combined to form the most comprehensive and terrifying intelligence organization of Raging Waves!
