Section 77

Everyone burst out laughing with a direct "Pfft!"—

"Hahahaha! This video is seriously killing me! A shirtless muscular man... actually using the way he usually does weighted drills to plow the field... that's just too creative! But... this soldier's waist and core strength are truly powerful... the speed at which he drags that plow... even an old ox couldn't keep up!"

"Sigh... this is really... making me speechless! I'm a veteran myself... so I understand exactly what this comrade is doing... Actually, the farming conditions in the military aren't bad at all! We have oxen, tractors, harvesters, and everything... they're even very advanced! But... people in the military, sometimes after being isolated for too long, do get a bit out of touch with the outside world. Maybe... in the eyes of those military district big shots, poor farmers just don't have oxen or tractors... so they have to plow like this."

"I'm literally dying of laughter... Hahaha! Look at the expressions of Director Chu Yun and General Mike... their expressions are just too funny! General Mike has a total 'Do you take me for a fool?' look... while Director Chu Yun is even more hilarious... after staying calm all night... his current expression of gritting his teeth looks like he's about to lose it, haha!"

"My god... the camouflage effect of these official military district accounts is too obvious! No, no, no... 'obvious' isn't even the word for it! These traces of staging... and that pretentious copywriting... Hahahaha, how could there be such a sentimental yet strong farmer in the entire world? Looking at it this way... as they say, specialization is key! You can let these soldiers and generals lead troops into battle... but when it comes to the deceptive tricks of literati, they really aren't good at it!"

"But... this whole act of 'crying wolf' and 'the lady doth protest too much'... in the end, they've shot themselves in the foot... the pressure is back on Director Chu Yun. This time I'm really a bit worried for him... now that things have reached this point, it's even harder to explain than the border guard account shopping earlier! [I really don't know... what kind of reason can be made up this time to explain the footage of a 188cm handsome guy goose-stepping while hoeing the ground, and a bodybuilder muscular man manually plowing the field...]"

"Aaaaah! Please don't say it! Just thinking about this scene is incredibly awkward!"

...

Seeing that Director Chu Yun hadn't answered for a long time and was doing his tactical water-drinking again...

General Mike jumped up in anger:

"Mr. Chu Yun, put down your thermos immediately! Answer our questions directly!"

"Stop using tactical water-drinking to stall for time! Tonight... you haven't stopped that water-drinking posture once. Is the bottom of that little thermos of yours connected to the Pacific Ocean? How can you never finish drinking it!?"

After saying that...

General Mike walked angrily to the large screen.

He tapped on the account name [Farmer in the Field]...

He tapped on that pretentious copy [Life lies in motion! A beautiful day begins with plowing]...

Finally!

He slammed his hand on the short video that was playing—

A muscular man with exploding muscles... using strength greater than an ox's to drag a huge plow!

Wherever he passed...

Dust flew everywhere.

Several ravines half a meter deep were shocking to behold.

"Tell us loudly! Mr. Chu Yun, you tell me... this is what you call a farmer!? This is freaking Invincible Hulk! Even if the Hulk came, he might not be able to pull this plow!"

"Even if you want to fool us, to play us... at least put some heart into it. This... this kind of video with such obvious signs of staging... could you act any more fake!?"

Faced with General Mike's interrogation...

There was no other way.

Director Chu Yun had no choice but to put down the thermos that had long been empty of water...

Then, forcing a smile, he argued fallaciously:

"[Is... is there something wrong with this video? Isn't this just a very ordinary farmer, a very ordinary daily life?]"

"Ordinary my ass!"

General Mike was so angry his lungs were about to burst.

The racial talent of the Dragon Country people wasn't farming at all... it was clearly lying through their teeth! And doing it without even blinking:

"Look me in the eye, Mr. Chu Yun. Can you say these words and still face your conscience? Can you face your soul?"

"Have you ever seen a farmer with muscles like a professional boxer? With this terrifying explosive power, I'd believe you if you said he could take on ten people at once. Tell me... which country could have such powerful farmers!? Does your country's farmland get invaded by aliens often? Is that why farmers need such strong combat power!?"

...

Listening to General Mike's roar,

All the representatives of various countries present...

Were also silent at this moment...

Although they still supported Dragon Country in their hearts,

But...

But this staged video was just too fake.

If even this could be explained away with a made-up reason... General Mike would definitely dare to ram his head into a stone wall! Die on the spot! To prove his point with his life.

"This time... maybe Dragon Country really can't keep the story going... they won't find any reason to explain this video clearly."

"Yeah, yeah... although I'm firmly on Dragon Country's side, the acting in this video is just too fake! I have to say... maybe the honest and hardworking Dragon Country people... just aren't very good at deception?"

"I feel the same way... I'm the Director of the Sports Bureau of our country... do you know how fake and exaggerated the acting of Dragon Country athletes is? Their country's table tennis player, the Great Demon King Zhang Yining... when she was trying to let the Japanese player Fukuhara Ai win a point... she just threw the ball under the table... her acting was truly worrying!"

"But... this situation is very bad! Once this issue isn't explained clearly... it's equivalent to admitting in front of the whole world that [Dragon Country is secretly selling arms to the military]! This... this is a very serious matter! It would be better to sell them openly!"

"If Dragon Country's Director of National Defense, Director Chu Yun, can't come up with a reasonable excuse... it will make what he said before contradictory! It will greatly affect Dragon Country's international image and status."

...

Everyone was worried about Director Chu Yun...

Whether it was the representatives at the United Nations meeting,

Or the netizens in the online livestream rooms wiping away their sweat in anxiety...

Everyone was worried that Director Chu Yun had been backed into a corner!

Everyone was worried that Director Chu Yun really couldn't keep the story going.

However...

A miracle

Still happened!

Faced with General Mike's questioning... Director Chu Yun once again showed a calm and breezy smile!

This relaxed smile...

Dragon Country netizens were all too familiar with it!

This meant... this Director of National Defense of Dragon Country, who could turn decay into magic! Finally! Once again! For the umpteenth time! Had thought of an absurd yet reasonable excuse.

Director Chu Yun smiled, adjusted his sitting posture, and said slowly:

"Mr. Mike... if you see a video of a person pulling a plow and think we're just acting and staging it... then it shows that—[you don't understand the difficulties of Dragon Country farmers at all, nor the harsh living environment they face.]"

...

Director Chu Yun's words were powerful and resonant!

The entire venue instantly fell silent... listening intently to Director Chu Yun's rumor-refuting! No... his factual explanation!

After scanning the quiet room, Director Chu Yun paused and continued:

"Who doesn't know that using an ox to pull a plow is easier and saves effort? Who doesn't know that using a tractor to pull a plow is more efficient and takes less work? Everyone in the world knows this!"

"But... this is just like the famous ironic stories of 'Why not eat meat?' and 'If they have no bread, let them eat cake!'... If! These farmers really had oxen, really had tractors at home! How... how could they possibly use such a foolish and physically damaging method to plow the field!?"

...

Director Chu Yun's voice rose!

His loud shout was infused with his abundant emotions! Making his speech extremely infectious.

Everyone... for a moment, it was like waking from a dream!

They finally realized the most core issue.

Yes...

Who doesn't know that an ox should be used for plowing?? Who doesn't know that a tractor has more power!?

If they had those conditions...

How could anyone be willing to use their own body to plow the field personally??

The answer to the question lies here—

"[Not every farmer's family has an ox or a tractor!]"

"That's right... I think everyone has already guessed what I'm about to say..."

Director Chu Yun's voice became sad and full of pity:

"In Dragon Country... there are still tens of millions of farmers... living on the poverty line of hunger and cold... especially in those remote areas, mountainous areas, and desert regions... the lives of farmers are bitter beyond our imagination!"

"In those impoverished areas... where would they get tractors!? Where would they get extra food to feed an ox!? Penniless as they are... besides their own bodies! They have absolutely nothing."

"So... [do you think they want to use their bodies to drag a plow to farm? This is entirely... forced by life!]"

...

At this moment.

The entire hall was dead silent...

In the online livestream room... no one spoke either.

Everyone was silent...

Many people were moved to tears.
