Section 175

The netizens of the Dragon Kingdom were all on edge!

Who could have imagined... that clearly, at today's United Nations debate, the Dragon Kingdom had achieved a final, absolute victory!

But!

The President of the United States had actually pulled a surprise counterattack—

"Didn't you say that these things manufactured by Lin Xian are all agricultural machinery?"

"Fine! Since they are agricultural machinery, they certainly cannot be used on the battlefield to fight and kill enemies, right?"

"In that case... in a military exercise competition like the '2023 International Military Competition'... these farming tools used for plowing fields certainly won't appear, right?"

...The President of the United States is truly worthy of his title; just this one move... shows he is no pushover!

This move of his was both precise and ruthless! The logic was clear! The reasoning was sharp! And it hit the nail right on the head!

Tonight, Director Chu Yun, the Director of National Defense of the Dragon Kingdom, spent the entire night desperately proving—the products manufactured by Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory are all agricultural equipment!

And at the end of the meeting... even the United Nations Council gave their final verdict—that's right! All products manufactured by Lin Xian are indeed agricultural equipment! This point accepts no refutation and no dissent!

These two seemingly victorious results... looking at them now, have become a 'stumbling block' for the Dragon Kingdom in winning the championship of the '2023 International Military Competition'.

You must know... every year, the 'International Military Competition' is the most valued, significant, and heavyweight military exercise for all major military powers!

The results of the competition... are extremely important for every country! Whoever can win the championship is equivalent to proving that their military strength is undoubtedly number one in the world!

Then... they can possess unique influence in various international settings! And most countries, out of fear of their military strength... can only fawn over them, submit to them, and obey their orders with bated breath...

Over these past years, the reason the United States has been able to dominate as the world hegemon for so long, treating the whole world as its backyard and vegetable patch, is because of its formidable military strength!

That's right... in this world, who has the most influence isn't determined by economic power or political power... but by 'military strength'!

Without sufficiently formidable military strength... no matter how much wealth you have, you cannot protect it! Just look at that small oil-producing nation invaded by the United States for an obvious example.

But conversely... if you have sufficiently powerful military strength! Then, whether it's economic power or political influence, everything will rise with the tide, and you can get it with a wave of your hand! Nothing can stop it!

"This is an international system where only those with big fists get to speak! Weak countries have no diplomacy, and strong countries can do whatever they want!"

But because we have been in a time of peace for too long... a country's military strength has no opportunity to be demonstrated through war.

Therefore... this is the purpose of the existence of the 'International Military Competition'!

To put it bluntly, this so-called military competition is a training ground for the world's major military powers! It is used to show off muscles to the whole world!

To be more specific... this so-called military competition is the United States' own training ground! It is for the United States to show off its muscles to the whole world!

In the many years of military competitions before this... every time! Every single time, the United States has won the championship without any suspense! Yes... without any suspense!

The United States' military strength, weapon standards, and technological level are far ahead of the rest of the world... especially the power and terror of the U.S. Navy... which is so arrogantly strong that it could take on the rest of the world combined!

With such a powerful backing... it's truly hard for the United States to lose! Even if they lost all the points in the Army and Air Force competitions... in the end, they could just rely on the Navy to win the points back in one go.

To put it bluntly... they could really win the championship with their eyes closed!

And after winning the championship and proving that the United States is still the world's number one military power... what happens next is a matter of course—those small countries pay their protection money as they should. Those average countries buy weapons and give gifts as they should.

As for those countries with poor relations, or major powers with opposing positions... they should shut up and remain silent. Next time they want to challenge the United States... they had better weigh their own strength first!

Therefore, in summary! This is the significance of the existence of the 'International Military Competition'! This is the reason why the United States must win the championship in the military competition!

The representatives of various countries in the venue were all high-ranking and powerful figures, and they naturally understood these truths long ago. Therefore, after hearing the President of the United States say these words on stage... they immediately understood the United States' intention! For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion:

"So that's it... just now, the way the President of the United States was fawning over the Dragon Kingdom and praising Lin Xian... I actually thought the sun had risen in the west! Sure enough, the purpose of the President of the United States doing this... was ultimately to maintain the United States' position as the world hegemon! If... the Dragon Kingdom really cannot use these black-tech weapons manufactured by Lin Xian in the 'International Military Competition'... then facing the powerful U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force, they would have absolutely no chance of winning!"

"Yes... this is probably the ultimate goal of the President of the United States, right? His line of thinking is very clear—'Only by maintaining the championship position in the "International Military Competition" and defeating the Dragon Kingdom during the exercises, then the United States will still be the world's number one military power and still the world hegemon!' After all... the gold content of the International Military Competition is very high, and it is recognized by the whole world! The champion of this competition... is more directly persuasive than these black-tech products of Lin Xian!"

"But the current situation is really difficult! The Dragon Kingdom has emphasized it many times, and even the United Nations has recognized it... saying that all products manufactured by Lin Xian belong to pure agricultural equipment and absolutely have no military use! Then, under this premise... if the Dragon Kingdom still lets its special forces participate in the exercises with laser sickles, Agricultural Mecha, electromagnetic shotguns, and water-drop dolphins... wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting in disguise that these things are 'weapons of war'?"

"I have to admit, this move by the President of the United States is truly brilliant! If the two countries really went to war, then naturally no one would care whether these black-tech products are weapons or farming tools, since the relationship would have already broken down... but the problem now is that they haven't started fighting yet! They haven't torn off the mask yet! At this time, if the Dragon Kingdom goes back on its word and acts in bad faith... it will indeed have a huge impact on their international image!"

"Ahhhhh! I'm really starting to feel nervous for the Dragon Kingdom again! What on earth should they do! If they decide not to use the black-tech products manufactured by Lin Xian in the '2023 International Military Competition'... then the Dragon Kingdom will undoubtedly lose to the United States. But then again! If they use these so-called agricultural tools in the military competition... it would be equivalent to slapping their own face, deceiving the whole world, going back on their word, and greatly damaging their international image and reputation!"

Representatives from all countries were worried about the Dragon Kingdom! Because... just a moment ago, the vast majority of countries, and even many who were once the United States' lackeys... had publicly issued friendly declarations towards the Dragon Kingdom!

It can be said that they completely abandoned the United States as their 'daddy'! They turned and threw themselves under the command of the Dragon Kingdom, the big brother! Naturally, they hoped that the Dragon Kingdom could win the '2023 International Military Competition,' take the championship, and completely end the era belonging to the United States!

But! Things went against their wishes. They never expected that the President of the United States would seize upon this fatal blind spot: 'Agricultural machinery should not appear in military exercises!'

Now... Director Chu Yun, the Dragon Kingdom's Director of National Defense! How exactly will he respond!? Will he betray his word and honor, ignore his international image and reputation, and insist on using Lin Xian's black-tech products to win the championship? Or... will he endure the humiliation, keep his word, give up using Lin Xian's black-tech products... and hand the championship over to the United States, which needs it the most?

It seems that no matter what they choose, the answer is unfavorable to the Dragon Kingdom! This move by the United States... has truly forced the Dragon Kingdom into a desperate situation of a life-or-death choice. And at this moment, the President of the United States...
