Chapter 192 The High-Ranking Officials Flee
Meanwhile, at the Daishin airport!
The private jet reserved exclusively for the high-ranking officials of Daishin sat quietly on the runway.
Sunlight spilled over the fuselage, but it could not dispel the tension and unease permeating the cabin.
Soon, the airliner took off, moving far away from this land!
The President of Daisheng and his family, along with other high-ranking officials, all sat in a hurry on this flight bound for Eagle Nation.
Inside the cabin, a subordinate asked the President with a worried look:
"Is it really okay for us to just leave like this?"
"We are going to be cursed to death by those taxpayers!"
There was a trace of unwillingness and helplessness in the subordinate's voice. He looked at the familiar airport scene outside the window, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
The President of Daisheng had a gloomy expression. He snorted coldly and said:
"Being cursed by them is better than being beaten to death by those guys from the Desert Alliance!"
"Why don't you understand?"
A trace of determination and fear flashed in the President's eyes.
The subordinate was still somewhat puzzled and continued:
"That plan was orchestrated entirely by Eagle Nation, so it has nothing to do with us!"
"Why do we have to run away?"
Upon hearing this, the President glared at him angrily and scolded:
"You are truly stupid! What if the matter is exposed? Can those guys from the Desert Alliance defeat Eagle Nation, which is thousands of miles away?"
"They will definitely take their anger out on us first!"
"At that time, we will definitely suffer!"
"If we don't run now, we won't be able to run later!"
The President's words were filled with anxiety and worry about the future situation.
Upon hearing this, the subordinate became furious. He clenched his fists, a look of anger appearing on his face.
Apparently, there were others among them who did not want to run away like this. One of them said angrily:
"It is all that hateful Dragon Country! Why did they have to go and develop those mechs?"
"It has caused our fighter jets to be wiped out by those guys in the desert!"
"We have completely lost air superiority. In their eyes, our ground forces have become like target practice!"
"We have no power to fight back!"
His voice trembled with anger, and his eyes were filled with resentment toward the Dragon Country for developing mechs.
"The main thing is, if Dragon Country was going to develop them, fine. But why did they not hide such powerful weapons as a trump card?"
"Why did they have to sell them to those countries in the desert? And the key is, if you are going to sell them, why did you not sell them to us?"
"Is this not deliberately looking for trouble for us???"
Another person chimed in, his face full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
At this moment, the President suddenly sneered and said:
"Forget about Dragon Country. They are currently mired in an energy crisis orchestrated by Eagle Nation, and they are likely to face turmoil."
"Our experts have analyzed Dragon Country's energy structure. They are too dependent on the outside world, which is a fatal flaw of theirs!"
"This time, I estimate they will find it very difficult to survive the crisis. Even if they barely scrape through, they will be severely damaged!"
"It might even set their economy back thirty or forty years!"
"By that time, with those Desert Nations having lost Dragon Country's support, we only need to unite with Eagle Nation to easily deal with them!"
Having said this, a flash of sinister light crossed the President's face!
It was as if he had already foreseen the scene of them defeating the Desert Alliance in the future.
Everyone nodded one after another, seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope.
Just then, someone suddenly laughed and said:
"Anyway, we are not losing out! Thanks to Eagle Nation's actions this time, we have stockpiled a large amount of oil in advance and made a fortune."
"This money is enough for us to live comfortably for several lifetimes!"
"We can just use the suffering of Dragon Country and those desert countries as fine wine, and after we leave, find a place to enjoy ourselves!"
The smug laughter of these high-ranking officials rang out inside the plane. They seemed to have already forgotten the country and compatriots they were about to abandon.
At this moment, the President's youngest son asked his father in confusion:
"Dad, are we really going to abandon our compatriots and run away alone?"
The youngest son's eyes were filled with innocence and confusion. He looked at the President, hoping to get an answer.
The President of Daisheng patted his youngest son's head and told him:
"My dear, we are not running away; we are just temporarily avoiding risks!"
"Once the situation stabilizes, we will return!"
The President's words carried a hint of comfort, but his eyes flickered, as if he was not sure himself whether they would return.
The youngest son nodded thoughtfully, and then the President told his youngest son:
"But Yakes, you must remember this hatred!"
"This is all the doing of the Desert Alliance and Dragon Country. You must remember them."
"We cannot forget this hatred!"
The youngest son nodded solemnly and said:
"Don't worry, Father, I will remember."
"One day, I will make the people of the Desert Nations and Dragon Country pay the price for their foolish actions."
Laughter erupted in the airliner again, yet this laughter was full of hypocrisy and selfishness.
The President stood up and looked at the homeland that was gradually receding. There was not a hint of nostalgia in his eyes; instead, he felt closer to freedom.
He thought to himself that as long as he could escape from this place about to fall into war, everything still had a chance.
He was truly looking forward to seeing what kind of end awaited Dragon Country and the Desert Alliance?!
He seemed to have already seen the scene of Dragon Country and the Desert Alliance struggling in distress, and his heart was filled with schadenfreude.
Seeing that they were getting further and further away from the national border, everyone on the plane breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped all danger.
However, suddenly, the plane jolted violently!
This sudden shaking instantly shattered the relaxed atmosphere inside the plane, and everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.
The President was also startled. They were all like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring now; any slight disturbance would scare them!
However, he tried to remain calm:
"What is going on? What happened?"
He asked the flight staff!
The crew hurriedly checked various equipment, trying to find the cause of the disturbance.
The subordinates were also panicked, guessing about the possible situation.
Someone shouted: "Is the plane malfunctioning?"
Another person said nervously: "It could not have been attacked, could it?"
The inside of the plane immediately fell into chaos, and an atmosphere of fear permeated every corner.
But soon, they heard a reply!
"It is nothing, Mr. President!"
"We just passed through a patch of unstable air currents, so the fuselage experienced some turbulence!"
"We are safe now!"
Upon learning that nothing was wrong, everyone let out a long sigh of relief!
"Scared the hell out of me. I thought we had been targeted by someone!"
"A false alarm, just a false alarm!"
The President comforted everyone!
But just as his words fell, a deafening alarm sounded suddenly!
This sudden alarm completely stunned the high-ranking officials of Daishin inside the plane!
