Section 163

Director Chu Yun had tears in his eyes as he looked at the smiling Lin Xian on the big screen and said gratefully:

"Thank you for everything you have done for the country and the people!"

"You are the only true great hero in the history of the Longhua Nation!"

Nowadays... representatives from countless countries are scrambling to debate for the Longhua Nation, debunk rumors for Lin Xian, and "whitewash" the Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog!

This scene deeply touched the netizens in the live broadcast room, making their noses sore and bringing tears to their eyes!

Even though they were clear that the vast majority had defected and turned from America's dogs into the Longhua Nation's lackeys entirely because they feared Lin Xian's Super Black Technology "agricultural machinery."

But... what does that matter?

International relations and alliances aren't about romance; how many are truly sincere?

As long as they can be made to fear the Longhua Nation! To respect out of fear! To fear out of respect! That is enough.

And for all these changes... one must thank this super genius who appeared out of nowhere, this great hero who cares for the world and serves the country and the people—Lin Xian!

For a time, the entire online live broadcast room was filled with tearful comments—

"Wuwuwuwu! I am truly so moved! I didn't expect this... I never expected this! Just when we all thought Director Chu Yun couldn't explain it clearly, couldn't keep making things up, and had already fallen into deep despair this time... countries all over the world actually took the initiative to stand up and debunk rumors for us! To help us whitewash! To speak up for Lin Xian and the Longhua Nation! This scene... is really so moving... I have sand in my eyes!"

"For the first time... this is the first time at an international conference that the Longhua Nation has been so valued and respected. For decades... the United Nations has always been acknowledged as America's backyard. Although our Longhua Nation possesses Veto Power... we were still bullied by America on various issues! But now... everything has changed! Because of Lin Xian's appearance! Because of the appearance of those Super Black Technologies of Lin Xian's! The Longhua Nation has replaced America... and obtained the most powerful voice on Earth!"

"Thank you Lin Xian... thank you Lin Xian for making our motherland unprecedentedly powerful! This moment... our Longhua Nation has waited for far too long! So long that... I have even somewhat forgotten how brilliant the Longhua Nation once was in the world. Director Chu Yun is right... Lin Xian, after all, has become the most prominent hero in the history of the Longhua Nation! His appearance... is what truly allowed the Longhua Nation to stand at the pinnacle of the world!"

"Hahahaha... I never expected this! So many of America's once loyal dogs... now! All of them are actively, scrambling, fearing being left behind, becoming loyal lackeys of the Longhua Nation! To put it nicely, it's called 'those who know the times are heroes'! But to put it bluntly... that is just a weather vane blowing with the wind! But hehe! Not every country is qualified to be a friend of the Longhua Nation! Now... the choice is in our hands!"

"I think... Director Chu Yun must be very gratified at this moment, right? Even he himself couldn't have imagined... that the people who ultimately helped him explain, helped him make up excuses, and helped him talk nonsense with a straight face... were actually representatives of all countries in the world uniting to confront America! This was completely unimaginable before... all small countries, fearing America's pressure, would always blindly cling to America! But now... the times have changed! [This is the era that belongs to Lin Xian, that belongs to the Longhua Nation]"

The sudden change caught General Mike off guard...

His pupils dilated, and he stood there in a daze.

The wall had fallen...

When the wall falls, everyone pushes!

He never expected... that the one who defeated him this time was not Director Chu Yun, but the unanimous stance of all the national representatives present.

Watching those countries that were once "loyal dogs" of America defect one after another... General Mike's worldview and philosophy of life were shattered!

When... exactly when did it start?

Why was everything that clearly belonged to him... snatched away by the Longhua Nation!?

Lin Xian...

It's Lin Xian!

It is the appearance of this super genius... that has made countries around the world begin to fear the Longhua Nation, respect the Longhua Nation, and obey the Longhua Nation!

Damn it!

Damn it!

The centuries-old foundation of the American Empire... just because of one live broadcast by Lin Xian! It collapsed instantly.

General Mike was unconvinced! And unwilling to accept it!

But! Just as he was about to loudly reprimand those arrogant small-country representatives and prepare to reclaim America's home-field advantage—

"Forget it, old friend."

His shoulder was grabbed and patted by someone.

He turned his head to look...

It was his good brother, and also the supreme leader of America—the President of the United States!

The President of the United States looked at the audience representative seats that had completely defected, and said to General Mike with regret:

"The trend is gone... Mike. This is a fact we absolutely cannot change... These weak small countries have always been like this. Just as much as they feared us and obeyed us before... now, they fear and obey the Longhua Nation just as much!"

"These countries have no loyalty to speak of... they are just dogs begging for food everywhere! Wherever there are benefits, whoever is strong, they follow... In international positions, what kind of feelings are there? Just like the saying goes... in international affairs, there are only permanent interests, no permanent friends..."

"So... all of this is temporary! Today... these weather-vane small countries can betray us... tomorrow! They can just as easily betray the Longhua Nation! Except for those true friends of the Longhua Nation, those countries that established diplomatic relations with the Longhua Nation before today... the rest of those wavering small countries, you don't need to care about them at all, nor do you need to worry about whether they are sincerely attached to the Longhua Nation..."

Seeing General Mike's emotions gradually stabilize, the President of the United States smiled. He patted General Mike's shoulder and continued:

"So... regarding this matter of the Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog... let it go. Just as I said, the trend is gone... Now the whole world is siding with the Longhua Nation, and continuing to argue is meaningless."

After listening to the President of the United States, General Mike gradually calmed down.

However... the bulging veins on his forehead still represented the immense anger in his heart—

"But... is that just it?"

"Are we just going to watch the Longhua Nation become the world's number one power, replace us as the new world hegemon, and then forever hold us down?"

"I can't accept it! We must reclaim this home-field advantage! If, as you say... we just let it go like this, doesn't that mean America will never have a day to look up again??"

However... to General Mike's surprise!

The expression of the President of the United States appeared exceptionally relaxed and confident.

He calmly stated a [Date]...

That date was exactly half a month later.

And on that very date, a military competition that the whole world would be watching, with the highest gold content, would be held—[2023 International Military Competition]

"Mike, it's just half a month away! It will be the day of the 2023 International Military Competition! It will be the day for our America... to completely reclaim our home-field advantage, regain our dignity, and recapture our world status."

General Mike blinked, seemingly not quite understanding.

According to his thinking...

The Longhua Nation has already obtained so many Super Black Technologies!

What is the point of participating in this 2023 International Military Competition? What chance of winning is there?

If they really go to participate...

Wouldn't it be like being bugs for Lin Xian's laser weapons?

Wouldn't it be like being target practice for Lin Xian's electromagnetic shotguns?

Wouldn't it be like being teething sticks for Lin Xian's Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog??

"Mike, I know what you are worried about."

The President of the United States smiled and said words that instantly made General Mike quiet down—

"Think about it carefully... the Longhua Nation has gone to such great lengths, exhausted all their schemes, and kept insisting on debunking rumors for Lin Xian... firmly claiming that the products Lin Xian manufactured are all [agricultural machinery]..."

"Then do you think they could possibly, in front of the whole world, let these products appear at a military competition? Like this... wouldn't that be slapping their own faces? Wouldn't that be equivalent to directly admitting that these things are [weapons]?"

"So... you can rest assured! The Longhua Nation is a country that places great importance on credibility and face; they can't be as shameless as we are... Since they insisted today that these products of Lin Xian's are for agricultural use... then, [they absolutely will not let these products appear on the field of the military competition!] Otherwise... if one's words lack credibility, how can one convince the masses?"

Boom! As the saying goes... one sentence wakes the dreamer.

General Mike suddenly realized!

Yes... yes.

That is the logic.

As if struck by lightning... General Mike instantly had an epiphany.
