Chapter 66: Kneeling
“How dare they refuse a visit request from a leader of the civilization camp!”
This has never happened since the founding of this great Western nation!
No matter which nation, after hearing our visit request, which one isn’t deferential and trembling with fear, but that Eastern Country, how dare they do this!
Facing Mr. President’s anger, the aides’ faces showed not only urgency but also a bit more paleness: “Mr. President, you must do something!”
“Oh? Dear Rodri, tell me, what should I do now?
Should I immediately impose sanctions on them, or deport their illegal immigrants?”
“Mr. President, please calm down.
Let’s fully analyze this incident.
According to common sense and past conventions, our visit request would not be refused.
They are a group of peace-loving people, always have been, and they would not refuse the goodwill we actively release.
But now, they have refused, and right after just displaying their own strength—so, who exactly is this display of strength targeted at this time?
It’s us!”
The anger on Mr. President’s face receded like the tide, instantly becoming solemn.
He immediately realized that although this matter couldn’t be completely confirmed yet, it already had a certain possibility.
And when national security faces a threat, even just a possible threat, he must immediately respond.
He looked seriously at the subordinates in front of him, his voice unprecedentedly solemn: “We can’t hesitate any longer.
We must make a decisive decision, right away, immediately, do something, attempt to repair the relationship between us and them.
Dear Rodri, you’re in charge, immediately draft a plan.”
“Yes.”
“Remember, we must beat other nations to it.”
……
That night, the lights in the huge office stayed on until late at night. Countless senior officials, aides, consultants, and think tank members came in and out of the office, everyone with a solemn expression, until it quieted down in the early hours of the morning.
Then, on a certain famous social networking site, Mr. President’s personal account updated a post.
“For thousands of years, that great Eastern Country has stood at the pinnacle of humanity, guiding the entire civilization forward.
They have a brilliant and splendid culture, and their achievements astonish us all.
Even today, this great nation with a long history and cultural traditions is likewise at the forefront of the times, making irreplaceable, unique, and most important contributions to maintaining world peace, shaping international order, and elevating the overall well-being of human civilization—even surpassing us.
I am very honored that my person and my nation can coexist with such a great country on this beautiful blue planet.”
This post was not in the native language, but in the square characters of that Eastern Country.
Not only that, after the post, Mr. President even attached a picture.
Inside a spacious round office, two flag ornaments were placed on the desk, one of which was strikingly red.
Mr. President stood smiling beside the two flags placed side by side.
The image obviously highlighted the key point, placing him and these two flags in the center of the frame, so viewers could see them at a glance.
Mr. President’s social account has tens of millions of fans. The moment this post was published, it was seen by countless people in all countries around the world.
Not only that, the fans also saw that almost at the same time, all the top officials of this Western Great Power had reposted this post.
The entire “matrix” combined has billions of fans.
At this moment, who knows how many people incredulously widened their eyes, almost thinking there was something wrong with their eyes.
But after blinking, rubbing their eyes, and refreshing the page countless times, that post still quietly remained on the screen.
Apart from the explosive increase in comments, there were no other changes.
The influence of this post, which could be called a “heavy bomb,” rapidly spread throughout the entire network world.
And so, a series of wondrous things appeared.
“I said long ago that the strength of the Western Great Power is unimaginable to those yellow-skinned barbarians. As long as the Western Great Power is willing, it can immediately shock the whole world.”
Before, such comments would only attract countless supporters, along with countless voices of agreement and flattery.
A few rebuttals would also be quickly drowned out, barely making any waves.
But this time was different.
Countless voices that had been previously suppressed erupted like a geyser, with massive counter-commentary instantly appearing under almost every mocking post.
“Indeed shocking, damn, turns out this old man knows how to kneel and slide too.”
“Tsk tsk, the kneeling and sliding posture is very standard, practiced it secretly before, huh?”
“This ornament looks good quality, where’d you buy it?”
“We ministers were ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first???”
At this moment, the entire network world was almost going mad.
Who knows how many people had their three views shattered, worldviews collapsed, in total chaos not knowing what to say, but there were also a few die-hards still frantically shouting.
“Hackers from the Eastern Country stole the password, these posts are fake! The picture is AI-generated!”
“I’ve lived in that Eastern Country for a long time and know them very well. This is indeed something they could do.”
“This is impossible! That Eastern Country has actually collapsed long ago, with people starving and destitute! I escaped from there, barely surviving with my life to reach this civilized country. It’s all fake!”
“That’s right, I get it now. This is the benevolent and compassionate Mr. President deliberately showing weakness to avoid war and prevent innocent deaths, in order to make that barbaric country wake up!
Are you still stubborn? This is your last chance to surrender!”
These die-hards’ shouts weren’t many, and as soon as they appeared, they would face countless mockeries.
“Stop licking, your boss has already knelt.”
“No more dog food even if you keep licking.”
“I don’t get it, that Eastern Country has become strong, shouldn’t people from that country be happy? Why are they so angry?”
“Think about it, your sold stocks keep skyrocketing, what’s your sensation?”
“Oh, I get it, this is really hateful.”
“Damn, so satisfying!”
The network world was abuzz, at Apocalypse Base No. 7, Jiang Yang had already begun the new stage of study accompanied by Zhou Yu.
During the break, Zhou Yu took out her mobile phone, flipped through it, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Jiang Yang took it over to look, and a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Jiang Yang, do you think our country will react to this matter of theirs?”
Jiang Yang shook his head with a smile: “Probably not.
There are still too many things we need to do, let them be.”
