Section 71

"How is an Agricultural Mecha not a daily necessity?"

"I think everyone knows... the living conditions of the border defense forces are extremely harsh because transportation is inconvenient... so in many remote areas, the border troops' food is [self-sufficient]. That is to say... they grow their own vegetables, grind their own flour, raise their own pigs, and cook their own meals."

"So... isn't it perfectly reasonable for our border defense comrades to use more efficient [Agricultural Mecha] to farm and grow vegetables?"

After saying that, Director Chu Yun smiled even more brightly, and added jokingly:

"We people of the Dragon Kingdom are all farming fanatics on average; it's normal to like farming, right?"

"Especially for the military... isn't the food you grow yourself both healthier and more reassuring to eat?"

Chapter 48: Attention, National Military! Immediately Disguise Your Official Accounts as Ordinary Farmers!

"So... isn't it perfectly reasonable for our border defense comrades to use more efficient [Agricultural Mecha] to farm and grow vegetables?"

When Director Chu Yun said this, he was calm and composed. It was as natural, breezy, and matter-of-fact as saying, "You have to peel a banana before eating it."

It was as if... he was the one surprised, questioning General Mike: "Isn't using a mecha to farm common knowledge? Don't tell me... you don't even know this basic fact!"

This playful attitude made the veins on General Mike's head nearly burst!

But it triggered a wave of praise from the Dragon Kingdom netizens in the live broadcast room. Everyone flooded the comments to support Director Chu Yun:

"Hahahaha! Director Chu Yun makes so much sense! I'm honestly... I'm actually convinced myself! Yeah... a border defense legion has nearly a million soldiers and civilian staff combined! Do these people not eat, drink, or use anything daily? For a large legion like this... purchasing some equipment online is perfectly normal~"

"Exactly, exactly... pfft... USA, you really don't need to be so nervous! Actually, Director Chu Yun isn't lying to you... In the Dragon Kingdom's military, farming, raising pigs, and cooking for oneself is truly normal... It saves military expenses, and the vegetables you grow yourself are safe to eat! Hahahaha... General Mike must not have expected this... Our Dragon Kingdom military has had a tradition of self-sufficiency since ancient times!"

"Director Chu Yun is right... Dragon Kingdom people are farming fanatics to the bone! Never mind my dad, who likes to clear a plot of land wherever he goes... even I, who have never farmed before... always like to plant a patch of land in online games! I even set an alarm just to harvest on time! Hahaha... please call me a Cyber Farmer!"

"Right... every Dragon Kingdom person is a master of farming! Forget about using mecha to grow vegetables in the military... you have to know! We Dragon Kingdom people even grow vegetables in outer space... right in our space station! I still remember... after the lunar soil brought back by Chang'e 2 was studied... they said it couldn't be used to grow crops, and it devastated so many people, haha!"

"Look at General Mike's expression... that's the funniest face I've seen all day! He definitely didn't expect... this time Director Chu Yun didn't even make anything up! He just calmly and composedly stated a fact... That's right, haha, don't armies need to eat? Don't armies need to farm? So the result is obvious... wherever farming is needed... [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha] is needed (manual doge)!"

Just as the netizens saw, this time... General Mike was truly furious!

He had been prepared for Director Chu Yun to come up with all sorts of wild, fabricated excuses... and was focused on finding flaws in his answer.

But! He never expected! This time Director Chu Yun didn't beat around the bush or make up excuses... He just met it head-on— "The military also needs to farm! Isn't using Agricultural Mecha to grow vegetables very normal?"

This... this choked him so much he had nothing to say! He thought he could disrupt Director Chu Yun's rhythm... but didn't expect to disrupt his own instead!

For a moment... a flustered General Mike was somewhat incoherent: "This... what!? This... is military farming a normal thing? Is your Dragon Kingdom military life really that rich?"

"However... f*ck! That's not the point, okay? Mr. Chu Yun, you don't think we'll believe what you're saying, do you? You don't really think... we'll believe your claim that [the border defense forces bought the mecha... just to grow vegetables!?]"

Facing the flustered General Mike, Director Chu Yun showed no panic. Instead, he unhurriedly took out his phone... and said slowly:

"Just as I said before... the Dragon Kingdom is different from the USA... we don't have the great natural plains and favorable farming conditions that the USA has. So... our legions in remote areas... naturally have to rely on growing their own vegetables to ensure self-sufficiency..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, it just so happens I have a video on my phone that I took when I inspected the military region a while ago... let me show you the land our soldiers farm, it's not any worse than what professional farmers grow!"

After saying that, Director Chu Yun pressed a few buttons and projected his phone screen onto the big screen. Sure enough, it was just some casually filmed footage.

But... the video showed planned military grain fields, with countless soldiers moving through them, busy... some responsible for rice-transplanting, some for harvesting, some for watering... It looked like they were having an agricultural skills competition!

However... this short video had already confirmed what Director Chu Yun said—the Dragon Kingdom's military indeed has its own fields, and even pig farms! Farming is naturally not unusual!

However... this was not at all what General Mike wanted to express. He was so angry his mustache stood on end! He shouted at the top of his lungs:

"WTF, Director Chu Yun, are you playing me?" "[I'm not doubting that your military can grow vegetables... I'm doubting that you would use mecha to grow vegetables!]" "Mecha! The point is the mecha, okay? Who cares if you farm or not!"

Pfft———— Pffthahahahaha. General Mike's hysterical reaction... immediately caused the United Nations meeting scene to erupt in laughter. The entertainment value... was just too funny!

Director Chu Yun's move of playing dumb while knowing the truth... really made a fool out of General Mike! Especially when General Mike roared "Mecha! The point is the mecha, okay!"... the representatives from various countries present really couldn't hold it in anymore:

"Hahahaha... I'm going to die laughing today! I really don't know if Director Chu Yun did it on purpose or intentionally... he actually showed General Mike a video of soldiers farming on the big screen! Hahahaha... I feel like he's deliberately playing dumb! Director Chu Yun is so smart... doesn't he know General Mike is concerned about the mecha?"

"The Dragon Kingdom has an old saying... called 'It is difficult to be muddled.' I didn't understand it before... but now I get it! Playing dumb when necessary... is much more useful than being clear-headed! Today... I have to admire the wisdom of the Dragon Kingdom people... the crystallization of their five thousand years of cultural heritage... really cannot be compared to countries like ours without historical depth! Dragon Kingdom culture... is profound and broad."

"It really is... one sentence can turn the tide of battle. Originally... I was worried, worried that this time Director Chu Yun really couldn't find an excuse and couldn't keep making things up... but I didn't expect that I was just too young! Director Chu Yun just used an existing fact... and directly avoided the question of the mecha's purpose! He even took back the initiative!"

"Hahahaha... brilliant! This move is truly brilliant! Anyway, Director Chu Yun has already provided video proof—the Dragon Kingdom's military, especially the border defense forces... indeed need to farm! So... since there is such a need... to improve planting efficiency and increase yields... isn't it reasonable to buy a [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha]? Perfectly reasonable!"

"Checkmate... Director Chu Yun's move has already checkmated General Mike, who had just come back to life... He successfully steered this matter into an unprovable domain. Then, under the premise that it cannot be proven how the purchased armor will be used... all of the USA's accusations are invalid!"

Everyone was convinced by Director Chu Yun's wisdom! He is worthy of being the Dragon Kingdom's Director of National Defense for so many years... he really has some substance!

Facing General Mike's hysterical questioning... Director Chu Yun said another sentence that broke General Mike's defenses—

"Hehe, then I'm sorry, Mr. Mike, I failed to understand your request. I thought... you wanted to see the farming life of our Dragon Kingdom military, but I didn't expect that what you wanted to see was just a video of this Agricultural Mecha being used to farm."

"I'm afraid... I cannot satisfy you on this point." Director Chu Yun spread his hands and said with a smile:

"Because... that mecha is currently still sitting in Lin Xian's agricultural machinery factory... it hasn't been transported to our border defense region yet, so naturally, we can't use this mecha to transplant rice or plow the fields for you to see..."

"However, I will remember this. After I return to my country... I will specifically go to the border defense region to inspect it. At that time... I will definitely record footage of this mecha prototype transplanting rice in the fields for you to see! After you go back... just keep an eye on your email."
