Section 17

Whether at the United Nations conference or in the online live stream... almost everyone fell silent.

No one spoke...

It was all very quiet.

Everyone thought... this was indeed a very difficult question for the representative from Dragon Country to answer.

After all, what the US Representative said was not wrong—

Why would a mere Artificial Rainfall Bomb need a Stealth Coating?

This thing doesn't have any Stealth Coating at all...

If it gets seen, so be it!

It's just making it rain, anyway.

Thinking of this... Dragon Country netizens couldn't help but feel their heart rates increase, feeling nervous and also a bit worried about how the Director of National Defense would answer:

"Oh no, oh no... I didn't expect the US Representative to seize upon such a blind spot! I'm really worried about how Director Chu Yun will face this next... This question is just too hard to make up... no, too hard to explain."

"Yeah... how do we explain the issue of our Artificial Rainfall Bomb having a Stealth Coating? To be honest, this is really just an irrelevant function that serves no purpose for agricultural activities... Lin Xian also said that adding the Stealth Coating to the Artificial Rainfall Bomb at the time was just to prevent radars all over the country from sounding alarms and causing trouble for the nation."

"Yes, yes, Lin Xian explained it clearly during his live stream. If the Artificial Rainfall Bomb weren't made stealthy, it would cause radars all over the country to go haywire, or even trigger aviation alarms... It would cause national chaos and bring great disruption to the normal lives of the people, which is why it was coated with Stealth Coating."

"It's over... Now I'm starting to worry about how this question will be explained. As the Director of National Defense, Director Chu Yun... surely can't say Lin Xian's reason now. If he admits the goal was to avoid radar alarms... then the US will definitely seize on this point and make a big fuss about [Dragon Country having ulterior motives], exerting pressure."

"What should we do? I'm so anxious! We definitely can't admit that this Stealth Coating exists to deceive radar! After all, Director Chu Yun has insisted that this Artificial Rainfall Bomb is purely an agricultural product... What agricultural product needs the function to deceive radar? I really don't know... [This time, what kind of reason will the country come up with?]"

Chapter 16: The US Collapses: You Can Even Make Up Lies Like This!?

Everyone was worried about Director Chu Yun.

However...

At this moment, Director Chu Yun remained as relaxed as a cloud, smiling faintly.

Ridiculous!

He had been navigating the field of international affairs for many years... He didn't know how many times he had experienced scenes like this!

Besides, long before coming here...

He had already anticipated this situation.

The state had instructed him that he must not cause mental stress to Lin Xian because of international rhetoric!

Therefore...

He had to make everything clear!

He absolutely could not let the "agricultural equipment" manufactured by Lin Xian be associated with "military weaponry"!

Director of National Defense, Director Chu Yun, smiled slightly and spoke calmly:

"[You are right, as an agricultural tool, the Artificial Rainfall Bomb indeed does not need a Stealth Coating.]"

?????

!

?????

This was truly shocking!

Director Chu Yun's response, confirming the US Representative's point!

Completely baffled all the Dragon Country audience.

What is going on!?

How could he just admit it like that?

This... isn't this equivalent to handing a win to the US for no reason??

The US Representative at the scene heard this.

Ecstasy appeared on his face.

He jumped up and roared:

"Since that's the case! Then—"

"Heh, I haven't finished speaking yet, US Representative, don't be so anxious."

To everyone's surprise.

Dragon Country's Director of National Defense, Director Chu Yun, calmly smiled and interrupted the US Representative's speech, then faced the whole world and said slowly:

"A mature Artificial Rainfall Bomb indeed does not need a Stealth Coating. However, please do not forget... before the day before yesterday, this [Fuqiang No. 1 Artificial Rainfall Bomb] produced by the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory had always been in the [development and testing] stage."

"When a product is in the development and testing stage... and even before the patent has been applied for... then naturally, for commercial purposes, it must be [kept confidential] and [concealed]... to prevent it from being plagiarized or imitated by competitors, right?"

Director Chu Yun chuckled and took a sip of tea from his thermos.

Then he continued:

"The business situation of the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory is actually not ideal, with years of deficits and on the verge of bankruptcy. The current factory manager, Lin Xian, has staked the entire future of the factory on the Fuqiang No. 1 Artificial Rainfall Bomb; its success or failure depends on this one move!"

"Therefore... to prevent it from being plagiarized, imitated, or even counterfeited by peers and competitors during the development and testing process... Factory Manager Lin Xian applied the Stealth Coating to the Artificial Rainfall Bomb during the R&D process."

"In other words..."

Director Chu Yun stood up and concluded:

"Only the [test projectile] launched during the live broadcast the day before yesterday had the Stealth Coating, while the 9 mature products Lin Xian delivered to us do not have any Stealth Coating."

"So, US Representative... you don't need to be nervous. Now that Factory Manager Lin Xian has applied for a patent for the Fuqiang No. 1 Artificial Rainfall Bomb with our help, he naturally isn't afraid of others plagiarizing or imitating it, so naturally, there won't be any need for a Stealth Coating in the future."

...

Bang!

The Vice President of the United States heard this "sophistry" and slammed the table as he stood up:

"You are spouting nonsense! Do you think we are fools? Do you think we will believe your statement?"

"You are completely lying! How do we know if the finished products you received have Stealth Coating or not!? How can you prove it!?"

However...

Facing the aggressive stance of the US Representative.

Director Chu Yun still smiled calmly and elegantly:

"Proof? That's simple..."

"How about..."

"[We launch one toward the US mainland right now to test it? Let's see if your radar sounds or not?]"

6666666!

In an instant!

The entire live stream interface... was filled with 6s across the screen!

Everyone was shocked by Director Chu Yun's "outrageous" yet "reasonable" reply—

"Too amazing! As expected of a Director of National Defense who has dominated the scene for many years... This reason, this excuse is simply impeccable, hahahahaha. Whether everyone believes it or not, whether you believe it or not... I believe it anyway!"

"This is very reasonable! The point about guarding against competitors plagiarizing... is actually the same in many business sectors. Take the US Apple phone, for example! Before every new model launch... almost no relevant information leaks to the world; it's basically various marketing accounts guessing, all for fear of imitation by peers!"

"It's the same in the automotive industry... When many car manufacturers produce new models, they put camouflage stickers on the outside of the cars, fearing that competitors will steal the vehicle's exterior data! So... under such a premise, Lin Xian keeping the product confidential and hidden while developing the Fuqiang No. 1 Artificial Rainfall Bomb is completely reasonable!"

"Hahaha... The Director of National Defense said the 9 new Artificial Rainfall Bombs they received don't have Stealth Coating... Look at the US Representative's expression; his eyes are basically saying 'Do you take me for a fool?' But he has no choice! After all... some things can't be said randomly; you need evidence!"

"I said there isn't, so there isn't! Hehe... I have to say, this feeling of acting like a bully by relying on strong national power is really great! Yeah! You don't believe it? How about we launch one toward the US mainland right now? Tell me... we in Dragon Country dare to launch it, but do you in the US dare to catch it??"

...

The President of the United States turned pale again!

He felt that he had been played...

Or even insulted.

But!

He had no way to do anything!

Because...

The Dragon Country on the other side... at this very moment, was simply too powerful!

They possessed absolute precision and stealth nuclear strike capabilities!

They could destroy the United States without a sound!

It is precisely because they now possess such terrifying strike capabilities... that they dare to "act like a bully" on an occasion like the United Nations!

Actually...

When Director Chu Yun said "We launch one toward the US mainland right now to test it? Let's see if your radar sounds or not?" just now...

The Vice President of the United States was truly terrified!

He could already imagine...
