Chapter 188 The mechs aren't selling well, let's buy some!
As the high-level officials of the Desert Alliance countries were plunged into anger and conflict.
The arrival of Dragon Country Ambassador Zhao Yi was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
Zhao Yi was a refined-looking middle-aged man!
His temples were half-white, and the corners of his mouth were always pursed to reveal two shallow dimples, giving people a sense of refined and easygoing approachability!
However, in international relations, an envoy is merely a sharp sword in the hands of national policy; one must absolutely not judge a person by their appearance.
Because the other party might very well kill you while smiling!
Everyone's gaze was tightly focused on this envoy from the great Eastern power, their hearts filled with surprise and doubt.
In the Desert Alliance conference room, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
The appearance of Dragon Country Ambassador Zhao Yi made them both surprised and wary.
Everyone speculated about the intentions of the Dragon Country.
"Could it be that because we raised oil prices, they came to discuss a price reduction with us?"
"Impossible! If we lower the price, we will be the ones suffering the loss. Better them than us; we cannot lower the price!"
"If the Dragon Country is here to discuss a price reduction, we absolutely must not agree!"
"Right, absolutely not!"
The high-level officials of the various countries secretly made up their minds; in the face of national interests, they would never easily compromise.
Dragon Country Ambassador Zhao Yi walked steadily into the conference room, his face wearing a look of composure and confidence.
Prince Aodebiao looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "Respected Ambassador, your sudden visit has caught us unprepared!"
"Should we find a room to talk privately?"
Zhao Yi smiled and waved his hand; he looked around at everyone and indicated there was no need!
"I didn't expect to arrive at such a perfect time. Since I see everyone is here, it actually saves me some trouble!"
Hearing his words, the group looked at each other, more certain than ever that the Dragon Country was indeed here to discuss a price reduction.
A trace of coldness appeared on their faces.
Although they had previously purchased Individual Combat Mecha from the Dragon Country and achieved a huge victory in the struggle against Daishin!
But in the face of massive national interests, they could only prioritize profit.
However, Zhao Yi's next words completely stunned them.
Zhao Yi said slowly, "I came here today to show you all some things!"
"I think you might be very interested in these things!"
"It concerns the destruction of your oil wells."
Hearing his words, everyone turned their heads abruptly, their gazes once again focused on Zhao Yi!
The ambassador, who always carried a faint smile, had an even brighter smile on his face now!
He seemed to have guessed that they were very concerned about what he had just said!
As expected, Prince Aodebiao immediately asked Zhao Yi, "Ambassador Zhao, do you know something?"
Zhao Yi nodded slightly and said, "Your countries' plight has already affected global energy stability and has even caused quite a bit of turmoil within our own country."
"Our country has a pretty good relationship with yours, so we utilized some resources, hoping to alleviate this energy crisis as much as possible. However, the crisis wasn't alleviated, but it did lead us to discover some extraordinary things."
As he spoke, Zhao Yi placed some documents on the table for them to view.
The high-level officials didn't even think before picking up those documents!
Their gazes scanned over them casually!
At first, their faces still held expressions of confusion, but just seconds later, the confusion froze, replaced by angry gasps and the sound of knuckles cracking.
"Eagle Sauce!!!!"
"It was actually Eagle Sauce behind this!!!!"
"The culprit behind this crisis is actually them!!!"
The high-level official from Kurai had the biggest reaction; his eyes instantly turned red.
"No wonder we missed that peak oil sales season!"
"No wonder our oil wells were destroyed the most!"
"So it was that enemy, Eagle Sauce!"
The anger in the heart of the Kurai high-level official burned like a raging fire.
Zhao Yi calmly stated, "We didn't say it was Eagle Sauce!"
"We only showed you what we discovered, and we absolutely have no intention of inciting a war!"
"It's just that, as fellow victims, we felt you should have the right to know!"
Prince Aodebiao nodded with cold eyes, "Rest assured, Ambassador Zhao, we understand what you mean."
"Thank you for the intelligence you provided; this is very important to us."
Prince Aodebiao looked around at everyone; the high-level officials of the Desert Nations were, without exception, red-eyed!
That was from being angered by Eagle Sauce!
They say cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents; Eagle Sauce had completely offended all of their countries this time.
Prince Aodebiao slowly clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging, and he said angrily, "We cannot just let it go; we must take revenge!"
"Do they really think we are their lackey, Daishin?"
"We are not afraid of them!"
The high-level officials of the other countries slowly grew solemn.
Although they were very angry, they also clearly realized that they did not possess the capability to take revenge on Eagle Sauce.
Eagle Sauce's military strength could be said to be the most powerful!
And they have always been tough!
If they say they'll attack you, they can dispatch troops immediately.
They are not like the Dragon Country, which values peace above all.
When they say they will act, they act without any hesitation.
The high-level official from Pyramid Country asked with concern, "How should we take revenge?"
"Are we going to compete with them militarily? We can defeat Daishin, but we are no match for Eagle Sauce!"
Prince Aodebiao said with a firm gaze, "What are you afraid of?"
"We have Individual Combat Mecha!"
Prince Aodebiao brought out their strongest strategic weapon, second only to Nuclear Weapons!
Back then, ten Individual Combat Mecha were able to destroy Daishin's entire fighter formation; twenty Individual Combat Mecha would be able to beat them into complete submission!
The combat effectiveness of the Individual Combat Mecha was unquestionable, and this was where their confidence lay!
However, the other countries were still a bit worried!
Even the high-level official from Kurai, who had a blood feud, said worriedly at this moment, "But our number of Individual Combat Mecha is still too few!"
"In front of Eagle Sauce, it's still not enough!"
"And even if we could defeat them, don't forget, Eagle Sauce has Nuclear Weapons in their hands!"
"What if we really provoke them to the point of desperation and they drop Nuclear Weapons?"
Everyone fell silent!
Only Prince Aodebiao said fearlessly, "What are you afraid of? Do they think they're the only ones with Nuclear Weapons?"
"We have them too!"
Oil Country did indeed have Nuclear Weapons!
However, the launch authority was in the hands of the Dragon Country; unless Eagle Sauce actively attacked them with Nuclear Weapons, the Dragon Country would not agree to a nuclear counterattack!
The high-level official from Pyramid Country also said hurriedly, "But Eagle Sauce has thousands of Nuclear Weapons, and you only have ten!"
"And once Nuclear Weapons are actually used, the world will truly be in chaos."
Ambassador Zhao Yi also spoke up at this moment, his expression extremely serious, "Your countries can adopt other methods of revenge, but Nuclear Weapons must absolutely not be used lightly!"
"Otherwise, we in the Dragon Country will absolutely not sit idly by!"
Zhao Yi represented the position of the Dragon Country; this was something the higher-ups had communicated with him beforehand!
The conflict must absolutely not be escalated to an uncontrollable level!
Such as using Nuclear Weapons!
But with this, the high-level officials of the Desert Nations were somewhat at their wits' end!
They all clenched their fists, their hearts filled with helplessness and anger.
Did they have to endure it?
Their number of Individual Combat Mecha was too small to flip the table on Eagle Sauce, but they also didn't want to just endure it like this.
Someone suggested, "How about we play some dirty tricks on Eagle Sauce, like... planes crashing into buildings or something!"
Prince Aodebiao decisively refused, "No!"
"You must know that we are the victims, and our actions are a righteous counterattack; don't make us out to be like terrorists."
Everyone fell silent again; they didn't know what to do.
"Then you tell us what to do..."
The high-level officials of the other countries were also out of ideas.
Prince Aodebiao was also at a loss!
At this moment, Ambassador Zhao Yi spoke again.
He took another document out of his briefcase.
"Actually, I have another purpose for coming here, which is to ask you all to help us."
These high-level officials were somewhat surprised; they were currently stuck in the mud themselves, so how could they help the Dragon Country?
Prince Aodebiao had a very good impression of the Dragon Country; he didn't overthink it and immediately asked the Dragon Country ambassador, "What do you need help with? If we can help, we certainly will!"
Zhao Yi pushed the document in front of them, "Individual Combat Mecha are selling poorly at home!"
"Help us out, buy some!"
