Section 128
General Mike could no longer hold back.
A Lightsaber...
It was actually a Lightsaber!
It was not some toy.
It was not some fluorescent tube.
That so-called "Portable Laser Scythe"... was simply a weapon even more terrifying than a Lightsaber.
"Director Chu Yun had deceived him; he had deceived the entire world."
"Director Chu Yun!"
General Mike's composure had truly shattered!
He roared!
He strode toward Director Chu Yun! His eyes glared fiercely at Director Chu Yun:
"Is this what you called a toy!? Is this what you called a fluorescent tube!?"
"Hmm... *ahem*..."
Director Chu Yun coughed twice. He had no logic on his side, so he could only argue unreasonably:
"Fine, I admit it."
"[I also didn't expect this fluorescent tube to be so sharp...]"
*Pfft!*
General Mike's anger surged to his heart! He spat out a mouthful of blood directly!
He was still calling it a fluorescent tube!
He still refused to admit it was a Lightsaber!?
"Fuck, this is definitely not a fluorescent tube."
"*Ahem*... It is a fluorescent tube... a very sharp fluorescent tube."
"Stop making things up! Ask your conscience! Can you even believe the nonsense you're making up!?"
"I... I... I... I believe it! What if it's a high-tech fluorescent tube?"
General Mike felt his retinas becoming bloodshot!
His mind was blurred!
His will was in chaos!
He roared incoherently in a breakdown:
"Don't you dare mention fluorescent tubes to me again, ahhh!"
"You're the one who's a fluorescent tube! Your whole family is a fluorescent tube!"
General Mike's earth-shattering roar!
It caused the Dragon Country netizens in the live stream to burst into laughter:
"General Mike has broken down! His mentality has exploded! It's really killing me... No matter how he roars, no matter how he insists that this [Portable Laser Scythe] is a military weapon... Director Chu Yun just refuses to admit it! He's sticking to his guns that it's a fluorescent tube! And... *pfft*... he even said something like 'a sharp fluorescent tube'! It's really enough to make someone die of anger!"
"Friends, I'm dying of laughter! How on earth did Director Chu Yun manage to keep a straight face? With such obvious evidence, and with the Portable Laser Scythe cutting through wheat like tofu... he could still say such nonsense as 'a sharp fluorescent tube' with a straight face... I really admire him so much! This kind of composure is not something an ordinary person can handle! Anyway, if it were me... I definitely would have broken character laughing long ago!"
"On how to spout nonsense with a straight face! Director Chu Yun has given us a textbook demonstration of what it means to lie through one's teeth! Hahahaha... Who would have thought, our Dragon Country could actually have a day where we can act as shamelessly as the United States! However... not every country can act shamelessly at an international venue! This is exactly proof of our national strength!"
"Director Chu Yun is the GOAT! Hahahaha... I think the phrase 'a sharp fluorescent tube' can definitely go down in diplomatic history! It's just too amazing! As the saying goes... adapt to changes by remaining unchanged! Director Chu Yun just refuses to admit that this thing is a Lightsaber... no matter how much General Mike screams! It's still a fluorescent tube!"
General Mike was so angry his mustache was crooked!
Fuck!
How can there be such a shameless person in the world!
It is clearly a piece of Super Black Technology, an alien technology Lightsaber weapon!
But this cunning Dragon Country person opposite him!
He just insists on lying through his teeth and calling a stag a horse! He insists that the gleaming Lightsaber is just a fluorescent tube for lighting!
He even brought up a 'sharp fluorescent tube'!
[Isn't this bullying an honest person!?]
Seeing that General Mike was on the verge of losing control...
The highest authority of the United States, the President of the United States, walked onto the stage again, patted General Mike on the shoulder, and comforted his old friend:
"Calm down... old buddy, you must calm down! Once we lose our footing... the whole world will watch us, the United States, become a joke!"
"Bu... but,"
General Mike's expression was very aggrieved! He felt more resentful than Meng Jiangnu of the Dragon Country!
That was clearly a Lightsaber! It was clearly a Lightsaber!
It even cut down half an acre of wheat in a few strokes... like cutting tofu!
This level of sharpness, far exceeding all weapons on Earth... shouldn't it count as a Lightsaber?
"But that Director Chu Yun from the Dragon Country insists on saying it's a fluorescent tube. This is really infuriating, fuck!"
General Mike cursed:
"Isn't this bullying us honest Americans!? They keep spouting nonsense here... and then they won't let us personally purchase or test these products, so we naturally have no way of figuring out the details of this thing!"
"So, isn't this completely acting like a hooligan!?"
General Mike was truly fuming. His voice was loud! The entire United Nations venue could hear him!
"Calm down... calm down, Mike..."
The President of the United States gave him a hug, then patted his shoulder and said:
"You must not fall into the Dragon Country's trap! Honestly, being at a stalemate with the Dragon Country over such a [Portable Laser Scythe]... is not a cost-effective thing."
"Think carefully. Even if what Lin Xian is holding is a real iron-cutting Lightsaber! But... so what?"
"In modern mechanized warfare, how many battles require our soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat? Let alone hand-to-hand combat... when modern wars are fought, basically both sides use planes and artillery to bomb first... by the time our soldiers land... they are usually just cleaning up the mess."
"So, Mike! Calm down! Even if the Dragon Country has truly mastered Lightsaber technology! The modern battlefield is no longer the hand-to-hand combat of the Middle Ages! Are you really worried that a Dragon Country soldier will run into our camp with a Lightsaber and slash our tanks? Impossible... our machine guns, artillery, and bombers won't allow them to get close. The era of hand-to-hand combat is over!"
The President's words were very reasonable and very persuasive.
Soon... General Mike's emotions calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully...
Yes!
In modern warfare, where is there a chance for individual hand-to-hand combat?
Even if two squads have an encounter... they hide behind cover and shoot at each other, throw grenades, or call for air support!
How could there still be people, like in medieval village battles... waving swords and knives at each other?
Looking at it this way...
Even if we take a step back—if the [Portable Laser Scythe] in Lin Xian's hand really is an alien-tech, iron-cutting Lightsaber!
But as long as it is a melee weapon... under the hail of bullets and military hardware... it is absolutely impossible for someone to hold it and charge over!
Range is justice!
In modern warfare... cold weapons like swords and staffs... were eliminated by history precisely because of their range!
At this moment...
Not only had General Mike calmed down.
The representatives of various countries who had just been shocked to their feet... upon hearing the comfort of the President of the United States...
Were also instantly enlightened and suddenly realized the truth!
