Chapter 307 Let's Face Reality
"No!"
It wasn't just the high-ranking officials of the US who were completely stunned!
To be precise, the high-ranking officials from other countries, watching this scene that only existed in science fiction blockbusters, also felt their scalps tingle, cold sweat pouring down like rain, their backs already soaked through.
US President Biden felt as panicked as an ant on a hot pan, yet he forced himself to appear calm on the surface!
He gritted his back teeth, shoved the player fiercely into his subordinate's hands, then, with a trembling finger, pointed at the Mech Legion behind him and asked, feigning strength while being weak inside:
"What is your country trying to do?"
"Are you trying to start a war by putting on this display?"
Elder Qin followed the direction of his finger, took a slow, unhurried look, his expression as calm as water, unruffled, and said:
"Didn't I already explain the situation over the phone?"
"We are here for a friendly visit to your country!"
President Biden's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he cursed inwardly. A whole Mech Legion swaggering into our territory—is this what you call a friendly visit?
Isn't this just telling a barefaced lie!
But grumbling aside, the situation was stronger than the man; he had grievances he couldn't voice and could only stare helplessly.
Elder Qin's gaze was like a searchlight, slowly sweeping across the crowd. The representatives from other countries, sensing the pressure contained in that look, felt like thieves with guilty consciences, deliberately looking elsewhere, absolutely not daring to meet his eyes for fear of being burned by that gaze.
Seeing them like this, Elder Qin's lips curled slightly, revealing a calm, meaningful smile as he said:
"Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"
"It just so happens that the people I wanted to find are all here right now."
"Then we might as well take this opportunity to settle everything together!"
"It saves me, this old man, from having to go to each of your countries for a friendly visit one by one!"
After saying this, Elder Qin walked as if strolling in a courtyard, passing through the crowd, and on his own, led his subordinates, head held high, into The White House.
The US crowd looked at each other, speechless, and finally sighed helplessly, dragging their leaden legs as they followed.
Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like it could freeze a person to death. Elder Qin sat down with a dignified, authoritative air!
He didn't beat around the bush and stated his position directly, expressing extreme dissatisfaction with the restrictive orders issued by various countries, his words resonant and firm:
"I hope all countries will rescind the restrictive orders! This is the bottom line for fair and just trade, and it cannot be trampled upon!"
The US high-ranking officials listened, their faces flushing with anger, fists clenched, but they dared not voice their outrage.
They knew very well that the Dragon Country of today was no longer the soft persimmon that anyone could pinch; it had almost nuked Japan before, and that was no joke. With the current stance, they might not hesitate to repeat the same "ruthless move" over their heads.
Moreover, if they were to really go head-to-head with the Dragon Country, given the Dragon Country's current unfathomable strength, Nuclear Weapons might just become decorations and serve no purpose.
Besides, they weren't crazy and hadn't lived enough yet. If a nuclear war that reset the world were really triggered, they would also be doomed, so it was better to swallow their pride and preserve the bit of "stability" at hand.
While the US side was still hesitating, the Prime Minister of Japan could no longer sit still and was the first to concede, acting like a pug eager to please, hurriedly saying:
"We will immediately rescind the restrictive orders. Actually, we also feel that the restrictive orders damage the principles of fair trade. I am very sorry for the impact caused to your country's interests. We guarantee that we will never make such a mistake again from now on."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the face of the Prime Minister of Japan, and they rolled their eyes inwardly. Damn it, just a moment ago you were the most determined, shouting the loudest, saying that no matter what means the Dragon Country used, you wouldn't back down. As a result, before they even seriously made a move, they just came for a "friendly visit," and you surrendered?
In fact, even the US was terrified by this Aerospace Carrier, feeling immense pressure, let alone Japan.
One must know that the Dragon Country and Japan have an unbreakable, deep-seated hatred. Now that the Dragon Country has once again displayed such breathtaking military combat power, Japan was terrified that if they continued to confront them, it would eventually lead to a major war, and they would definitely be the first to be blitzed!
And with their meager strength, they would likely be wiped out by the Dragon Country as if they were "bots," so they had to concede!
Immediately after, South Korea, seeing which way the wind was blowing, and knowing full well they had been the US's "lackey dog" for many years and also had a significant grudge with the Dragon Country!
Now that Japan had conceded, they understood that if Japan were to be "blitzed" first, they would likely be the second unlucky one, so they also decisively conceded.
Finally, those guys in Europe also conceded!
Japan and South Korea are both powerful nations cultivated in the East Asian monster cage!
Their military strength is far above these countries in Europe!
If they had conceded, let alone themselves!
They also weighed the situation in their hearts and realized how vulnerable this temporarily patched-together alliance for mutual warmth was, so like dominoes, they all expressed their concession one after another.
Then only the US was left!
Elder Qin's gaze was like a torch, falling directly onto President Biden's face!
President Biden looked left and right with a guilty conscience, like a child who had lost his way, and finally said helplessly:
"Could you allow us to discuss this briefly?"
Elder Qin raised his hand, generously signaling them to discuss it as they pleased, but then changed his tone and said:
"Before you discuss, I would like to remind you all that we only want fairness and justice; we are unwilling to bargain with any party. I hope you can understand our meaning."
Upon hearing this, President Biden understood. This was the Dragon Country's bottom line, as hard as steel, giving the US absolutely no room to bargain. What was the point of even discussing it!
But he couldn't avoid dealing with it, so he had to take everyone outside and pretend to discuss.
Soon, they returned like defeated roosters, heads drooping, and gave their answer...
Concession!
Seeing them in this state, Elder Qin nodded with satisfaction!
He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said indifferently:
"Dinner is cooked at home, so we won't stay for a meal. Withdraw!"
As his voice fell, Elder Qin, escorted by a group of mech bodyguards, strode away from the US!
He boarded the Aerospace Carrier.
Above the carrier, the wind roared, blowing through Elder Qin's white hair, but no matter how messy his hair was, it couldn't compare to the chaotic hearts of the US crowd at this moment.
The Secretary of State watched the Aerospace Carrier, which had already distorted space and disappeared without a trace, his face full of unwillingness, and said through gritted teeth:
"Are we just going to keep enduring the bullying of the Dragon Country like this?"
President Biden glared at him fiercely and said unpleasantly:
"Otherwise what?"
"If you don't want to be wiped out by a single shot from the Dragon Country, then honestly listen to what they say!"
After saying this, he looked at the blue sky that had already returned to clarity, sighed helplessly, his heart full of bitterness and helplessness: "Face reality; things are different now..."
"The Dragon Country is no longer the same Dragon Country!"
