Chapter 268 Why is it this young man again?
At this moment, the eyes of the entire world were fixed on the live broadcast of the Dragon Kingdom's Spring Festival Gala, as if drawn by a massive magnet.
Although it was the middle of the night in the Dragon Kingdom—a time when people would normally be resting—the holiday season meant that countless citizens had cast aside their sleepiness, keeping a sleepless vigil in front of their screens!
They were filled with immense excitement and pride, eager to witness firsthand this great moment for their country that was about to shock the entire world.
When the majestic silhouette of the Aerospace Carrier appeared on the broadcast, the entire world instantly erupted. Citizens of various countries were left in awe, engaged in heated discussions!
The citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, in particular, felt an unprecedented sense of security.
In particular, the move to "nuke" Japan—while not an actual nuclear strike—exerted such powerful deterrence and displayed such a tough stance that it deeply satisfied the citizens of the Dragon Kingdom. It was as if a long-suppressed frustration had suddenly been vented, sparking a nationwide celebration.
In truth, the Dragon Kingdom wasn't acting out of fear of public opinion pressure; the primary consideration was that many of their compatriots were working in Japan. They were innocent, and the Dragon Kingdom did not want these compatriots to be harmed by military operations.
However, it must be said that this Spring Festival Gala was truly the most satisfying one in history. Even though it was well past midnight, many people remained glued to their televisions, phones, and other devices, staring at the screens without blinking, unwilling to miss a single upcoming segment.
They were filled with anticipation, wondering what other surprises the Dragon Kingdom would bring to the world.
And their wait was undoubtedly worth it.
Before long, the familiar, friendly face of the Spring Festival Gala host appeared on stage once more.
The host smiled, and with a highly infectious tone, said:
"Dear audience members, I imagine you are all still immersed in the excitement and thrill brought by the Aerospace Carrier, a marvel of national defense industry!"
"However, I regret to inform you that this segment has come to an end, but please do not be disappointed!"
At this point, the host paused intentionally, his gaze sweeping over the expectant eyes in the audience, before raising his voice and continuing:
"Because we have prepared a new program surprise for you all!"
Once these words were spoken, pandemonium ensued. The high-ranking officials of various nations, still reeling from the immense threat posed by the Dragon Kingdom's Aerospace Carrier, were startled, as if they had been abruptly jabbed.
In particular, on the side of the Eagle Sauce, President Biden had been sitting in his chair, frowning as he pondered strategies to deal with the Dragon Kingdom. Upon hearing this, he abruptly stood up, his body swaying slightly due to the suddenness of the movement.
The group of high-ranking officials also instantly turned their gazes toward the television screen in unison!
Every face was etched with shock and tension.
"What does that mean?"
"This isn't everything the Dragon Kingdom has???"
"They still have more tricks up their sleeves?"
President Biden's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.
One had to realize that the Aerospace Carrier, equipped with numerous Electromagnetic Naval Guns, along with the Mech Legion composed of dozens of Space Mecha—such a powerful configuration, bordering on world-ending—had already convinced them that the Dragon Kingdom's military strength was beyond imagination!
Yet now, they were being told there was more to come!
President Biden couldn't help but grumble inwardly:
"Dragon Kingdom, are you running a livestream?"
"Why do you need so many dramatic effects?"
His tone was filled with both helplessness and deep apprehension.
Meanwhile, inside a hospital ward in the Eagle Sauce nation.
Just as the host had said, CIA Director Smith, who had already regained consciousness, was half-reclining in his hospital bed, staring blankly at the television screen!
He remained deeply immersed in the shock brought about by the Aerospace Carrier, unable to pull himself away.
His face wore a complex expression, a mix of shock, terror, and disbelief.
If he had previously harbored any doubts about the Dragon Kingdom's scientific research capabilities, he was now more certain than anyone that the Dragon Kingdom possessed terrifying research prowess and an unimaginable capacity for technological breakthroughs.
He knew very well that the majestic Aerospace Carrier on the television was, in all likelihood, the very thing from the conceptual blueprints he had previously leaked!
Yet that was clearly just a set of blueprints that, in his view, were impossible to build!
How on earth had the Dragon Kingdom turned them into reality?
He racked his brains but couldn't fathom why data that had been judged as fraudulent and impossible to realize in the Eagle Sauce nation could become reality once it reached the hands of the Dragon Kingdom.
And now, the Dragon Kingdom actually had a new segment. He pondered this repeatedly, his brows furrowed tightly, secretly wondering:
"Did I send any other data to the Dragon Kingdom? I don't think so!"
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. His self-confidence, already severely battered by the Aerospace Carrier, was now completely shattered.
Just as he was deep in thought, the image on the television suddenly changed.
A group of people from the Dragon Kingdom appeared on the screen!
They were standing on an offshore working platform.
The biting cold wind of the winter night, sharp as a blade, lashed against the offshore platform, creating a howling sound.
To everyone's surprise, the platform was guarded by dozens of Space Mecha!
The scale and number of these mecha were comparable to the Mech Legion carried by the Aerospace Carrier.
This scene, presented before everyone's eyes, inevitably raised questions, leading to widespread speculation:
Where exactly was this?
And what would the Dragon Kingdom's next surprise be?
The Eagle Sauce contingent stared intently at the screen, not daring to blink, all hoping to capture even the slightest scrap of valuable intelligence from the footage.
However, the sea at night was pitch black. Other than the vague outlines of the mecha and the platform, they couldn't glean any valuable intelligence, leaving them anxious and helpless.
Just then, a male host appeared on screen.
Despite being exposed to the cold wind, he stood tall, maintaining a calm and collected demeanor. The host smiled at the camera, then turned around, gestured to the platform behind him, and announced in a resonant voice:
"Next, this student representative beside me will reveal the surprise!"
As the host finished speaking, Su Chen's figure once again appeared before the public's eyes.
And with his appearance, many people felt deeply confused.
"Huh? Why is it this young man again?"
