Section 61

That [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] just now... is the most typical example!

This is fucking...

This is absolutely fucking arms!

Genuine, bona fide arms!

Anyone, even a teenager, could see it... These damn laser cannons firing all over the sky... If that's not arms, what is!?

But...

Who could have imagined?

The Dragon Country Representative is completely calling a stag a horse, refusing to admit it no matter what!

And he's talking nonsense with a straight face!

The most annoying part is... those made-up excuses of his... happen to make it impossible to refute him!

So...

This path is currently a dead end!

The only option left is to use their trump card—

[Proposal Voting]

...

Raising a motion at a United Nations Meeting—

This is a power held only by the Permanent Members of the United Nations.

Generally speaking... it is the final means of problem-solving used when a consensus cannot be reached on a certain issue, when a unified opinion cannot be formed, and when there are differences between countries!

The execution of this process is also very simple.

Once a proposal is generated,

the representatives of over 200 countries are asked to vote!

In favor, against, or abstain.

If the final number of votes in favor is greater than the votes against... then the proposal is declared valid!

Even if many people have objections to the proposal...

the meaning of voting is that the minority must yield to the majority; it must be enforced!

It can be said that...

once things reach this point at the conference table, it basically means negotiations have broken down, and the solution must be forced through a majority vote!

Therefore...

in this phase...

the vote in the hands of any national representative... is extremely precious.

...

However, in this regard,

General Mike has absolute confidence...

He dropped his previous ferocity and adopted the expression of a 'smiling tiger,' saying very politely:

"But before the vote... I would like to remind all representatives... don't forget who the true world hegemon is! Who controls the world's economic system! Who is the most powerful country on this planet!"

"Before you vote... you must think carefully... We, the United States, are a country that values friendship and friends. We are very good to our friends... but... if you choose to become our enemy, you must be sufficiently prepared!"

...

...

A threat.

A naked threat.

But...

This has long since become the norm... Basically, every time there is a vote in the United Nations, the United States has to say this once to threaten those weak countries.

As the saying goes, weak nations have no diplomacy!

Countless small countries... can only submit under the powerful strength and control of the United States...

Therefore,

when General Mike's 'smiling tiger' speech ended...

the audience and representative seats were very quiet...

These representatives didn't dare to look up and speak; they only dared to lower their heads and communicate in whispers:

"This... there's no other way! Although I want to support Dragon Country... but... but you know, the United States holds the economic lifeblood of every country in the world! If we dare to defy it... the US can easily collapse the economic systems of us small nations! Our countries would exist in name only!"

"Yeah... aren't there already many examples in history? The US is always shouting about world peace... but most of the conflicts worldwide were instigated by them! But... what can we poor and weak small nations do? *Sigh*... it's already hard enough to survive in the cracks... better to have one less trouble than one more... let's not offend the United States."

"Bah! You guys are so spineless, a bunch of weaklings! So what if the US is powerful? Does power mean you have to treat a thief as your father!? Whatever... anyway, your countries have always been the lapdogs of the US! But our country will definitely help Dragon Country unconditionally! A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring! Now... is the moment for us to repay Dragon Country's kindness!"

"That's right... we also support Dragon Country unconditionally! I firmly believe... although the US is still the undisputed world hegemon now, as long as Dragon Country is given some time! This miraculous and ancient nation... will surely stand at the top of the world again! Moreover... now that a super genius like Lin Xian has appeared... Dragon Country overtaking the US is only a matter of time!"

"Uh... *cough cough*, sorry, our country will still vote to abstain. To protect ourselves... our country remains neutral on everything. Don't look at me like that... honestly, abstaining in this situation is already being more than fair! Our country doesn't have a genius like Lin Xian... we don't dare to challenge the US."

...

These small countries... each had their own hidden agendas.

A portion of steadfast Dragon Country supporters... all brainlessly voted against the proposal!

But...

The vast majority of countries, out of interest and various considerations... didn't dare to offend the US, so they voted in favor of the proposal.

And seeing this scene...

the netizens of Dragon Country couldn't help but grit their teeth in fury:

"The United States is truly too hateful! Their methods of coercion and bribery... are practically treating the United Nations like their own backyard! Honestly... if it weren't for Dragon Country's concern for international influence and the stability of the international situation... there would be no need for us to participate in a meeting like today's!"

"*Sigh*... to put it bluntly, Dragon Country is still in a stage of development and accumulation, plus we don't want to pursue hegemony... but the US keeps shouting about the 'Dragon Country Threat Theory' and 'Dragon Country Destroying World Peace'... so we also have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and debunk the rumors! This kind of diplomatic war between major powers... sometimes is really as childish as children fighting!"

"And they talk about a fair and just vote... this isn't fair at all! Before the vote... the US Director of National Defense, General Mike, was just short of openly threatening the representatives to vote! Their US now controls the global economic lifeblood... isn't this just forcing those small countries to favor their proposal!?"

"There's no other way... these small countries are sometimes truly beyond their own control. Not every country is as powerful as Dragon Country... for many nations, US support is indeed their country's lifeblood! Once the US withdraws or intentionally targets them... their countries truly face the risk of being destroyed! This kind of thing... hasn't just happened once or twice in history..."

"This won't do! This shameless and overbearing proposal from the US... must not be allowed to pass! Otherwise... according to the regulations of the United Nations International Convention! Any country must fulfill the resolutions generated by such a vote! No objections allowed! If the US proposal really wins in the end... wouldn't that mean our Dragon Country must destroy these pieces of Super Black Technology!?"

...

...

At this moment, below the stage.

The President of the United States smiled confidently, looking triumphantly at everything happening before him.

Heh...

Since Dragon Country refuses to admit that this [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] is arms...

Fine!

Then let the whole world admit it for you.

Dragon Country is, after all, a major power in the world arena; it will certainly abide by the final voting resolution of the United Nations.

Of course...

The United States would certainly prefer to see Dragon Country not abide by the United Nations treaty!

After all...

once such a thing happens, it would be equivalent to Dragon Country losing its global credibility, prestige, and status!

By then...

He who acts unjustly finds little support!

Dragon Country would never be able to become a rival to the United States again!

And now...

everything is proceeding in the direction they hoped for!

Under the pressure and threats from the United States... the President believed that the vast majority of countries would not be so unwise...

After all, although Dragon Country is developing rapidly now, there is still a significant gap between it and the United States.

Even though a super genius—Lin Xian—has appeared in the military field!

But...

before the equipment produced by that Agricultural Machinery Factory is mass-produced...

the military hegemon of this world...

is still the undisputed United States.
