Chapter 262 The Debtor's True Colors Revealed!

Facing the questioning of his own boss, the head of the Bureau of Investigation took a deep breath.

He knew that the answer that followed would be more worldview-shattering than all the previous intelligence combined for everyone present.

He spoke slowly:

"Sir, they... indeed, like Dandelions, were 'blown' up there by someone."

"Based on a toy we obtained from the Curry side, after we analyzed it..."

Amidst the confused gazes of the crowd, he began to reveal the entire plan reconstructed by the investigation department, which could be called a work of art.

From how Li Jiajun received the order for "toy sky rockets" from Curry Country, to how he "happened" to develop a "semi-finished" micro-rocket.

To how he surreptitiously stuffed miniaturized Starlink satellite nodes into the design as "counterweights"—of course, they figured this part out by analyzing that toy sky rocket; they could deduce the general process, but the technology within could not be reverse-engineered.

And finally, the most critical link.

When Curry Country's rocket, which had scaled up all the designs proportionally, launched under the gaze of the whole world and eventually disintegrated with a bang at the scheduled altitude...

That massive explosion shockwave was like the fiercest gust of wind in spring.

It scattered those thousands of "Dandelion seeds" disguised as parts—the micro-satellites—evenly and accurately into low Earth orbit, like a goddess scattering flowers.

"We suspect these 'seeds' automatically woke up and networked, and through that automatic networking, they formed that Juntian Starlink."

The entire plan was interconnected, perfectly combining commercial fraud, technical traps, and aerospace engineering.

It could be called a world-shaking case of borrowing a hen to lay an egg.

After the head of the Bureau of Investigation finished speaking, the highest conference room in The Pentagon fell into a suffocating silence.

The high-ranking officials of the Ugly Country present were all dumbfounded.

They sat there in a daze, mouths agape, feeling as if their brains had completely crashed.

This...

Is this a plan a human could freaking come up with?

Turning a catastrophic rocket launch failure into a perfectly flawless satellite deployment operation?

What the heck?!!

...

"F*ck..."

After an unknown amount of time, one of the big shots finally found his voice and, in a tone as if talking in his sleep, uttered the words in everyone's hearts:

"This Chinese, is he even human??"

No one could answer this question.

After a brief deliberation.

The Ugly Country side finally decided to swallow this massive loss and not speak out publicly.

Because they knew very well that this was a perfect open scheme by the Eastern Country.

The rules of "space terra nullius" and "first-come, first-served" that they themselves had painstakingly pushed for in the United Nations had instead become the strongest protective charm for the other party's ten thousand-plus satellites.

Jumping out to accuse them now?

Accusing the other party of exploiting the rules you established?

That would only be seen as the biggest joke in the world.

Soon, an encrypted intelligence document containing all the investigation results was sent to Curry Country.

'If we're having a hard time, we won't let you bunch of idiots who were used as the hen without even knowing it have a good time either!'

This was the shared thought in the minds of all the Ugly Country's high-ranking officials.

...

On the Curry Country side, after receiving this top-secret intelligence from their "Big Brother," they initially didn't believe it.

But when they cross-referenced the intelligence with their own failed launch data, everyone was infuriated!

The truth was far more humiliating to them than a simple launch failure!

They had not only paid to help someone else build satellites but also personally acted as "delivery men" to send someone else's goods into the sky!

In the end, they even became a global laughingstock with the "Fireworks of the Century"!

Unlike the Ugly Country, which could remain rational and choose forbearance, the high-ranking officials of Curry Country, who had always been "loose-lipped," felt they had suffered a great humiliation.

At an emergency meeting, The Director-General of ISRO, who had once praised "curry speed," slammed his fist on the table and shouted with a distorted face:

"Too much! This is despicable deception! This is naked aggression!"

"We must strike back! Convene a global press conference immediately! We want to denounce the Eastern Country's shameless behavior to the whole world!"

This proposal immediately received the unanimous agreement of all the high-ranking officials present.

When this news reached the Ugly Country, the big shots in the The Black House were all dumbfounded after hearing the report.

The big shot who was still feeling lingering fear over the "Dandelion" plan couldn't help but curse:

"Those f*cking idiots!!"

...

However, Curry Country's efficiency was indeed surprisingly fast in some respects.

Only half a day later.

A press conference broadcast live to the world was held in its capital.

In the venue, cameras and microphones were everywhere.

The Director-General of ISRO personally served as the spokesperson.

He stepped onto the stage, straightened his collar, and immediately put on an expression of grief and indignation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, media friends from all over the world..."

His voice choked up, his eyes reddened, and he began a tearful denunciation.

He accused the Eastern Country of exploiting their thirst for technology to conduct an unprecedented technical fraud.

He accused the Eastern Country of "despicably" using their aerospace industry as a "stepping stone" to realize their own ambitions.

The acting, the lines—one would have thought his ancestral grave had been dug up if they didn't know better.

Just as his performance reached its climax and he was about to present the intelligence provided by the Ugly Country to give the Eastern Country a "solid blow"...

Suddenly.

In the front row of the venue, an Eastern Country female journalist calmly raised her hand, holding a blue folder.

A staff member walked over, took the document, and handed it to the Curry Country spokesperson on stage.

The spokesperson frowned and impatiently opened the folder.

He thought it was some question script.

However, when he saw the line of gold-embossed characters at the top of the document, the expression of grief and indignation on his face instantly froze.

【United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Notice of Arbitration Application】

【Applicant: Eastern Country Baishui City Li Family Toy Factory】

【Respondent: Curry Country Space Research Organization (ISRO)】

【Reason for Application: In the commercial contract for the procurement of one thousand 'toy sky rockets', the respondent maliciously defaulted on the final payment of 25 million RMB, constituting a serious breach of contract...】

The appearance of this lawsuit letter left the spokesperson stunned on the spot.

He stared at the black and white text, feeling his head buzzing.

The cameras on site keenly captured the change in his expression, and one after another, they zoomed in, focusing on the blue folder in his hand.

In an instant.

This carefully prepared, indignant denunciation meeting by Curry Country turned into a comical exposure broadcast live to the world.

The press conference could no longer continue.

After all, as a deadbeat, where do you get the nerve to accuse others?
