"I don't know why the US Fifth Fleet and the British Commonwealth Royal Fleet suddenly started a frenzy of suicide by sinking. But it's obvious that this has nothing to do with the Dragon Country. We can do this without firing a single shot or a single cannon."
Before Jing Mingqiu's words could even finish, many voices of doubt immediately came from the livestream.
【Talk is cheap. Maybe the Dragon Country secretly used some sinister means.】
【Exactly. The US fleet is the best in the world, and the British Commonwealth's Royal Fleet once rampaged across the globe. How could they suddenly sink?】
【Jing Mingqiu, are you trying to provoke World War III? The Dragon Country must provide an explanation this time.】
Looking at the chaotic barrage of comments, Jing Mingqiu's lips curved upwards slightly. He raised his hands as if to placate them and said, "Don't rush. Whether it has anything to do with us or not, you might not believe us if we said it. Why don't you go ask the US and the British Commonwealth?"
"I believe that the US President Joseph Biden will definitely give us a satisfactory answer and clear our name."
Jing Mingqiu emphasized the word "clear" with great weight, his tone full of mockery.
In the White House of the US, Joseph Biden heard the hidden meaning in Jing Mingqiu's words and jumped up from his chair in anger. "They destroyed our fleet, and I still have to help them cover it up? That's too much bullying!"
"Smith! Send out all your agents immediately. I want him dead! I want him dead!"
"Mr. President," Smith Lune said, supporting Joseph Biden, his eyes full of helplessness, "if we could kill him, we would have done it already. You forgot, how many of our excellent agents have fallen into his hands."
Joseph Biden's eyes were still filled with rage, and he said fiercely, "If you can't kill Jing Mingqiu, then go after his family, his friends. Doesn't he have two girlfriends? Bring them here, rape and kill them, then rape and kill them again! I want to make him wish he were dead!"
"We've already tried, and it's useless," Smith Lune said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Jing Mingqiu's protection of his relatives and friends is more perfect than we imagined. We can't find any opportunity to strike!"
"Mr. President, you should quickly think about how to respond to the matter Jing Mingqiu just brought up. Should we admit that our warships suddenly sank due to our own reasons, and it has nothing to do with the Dragon Country?"
"I would also like to deny it, but do we have a choice?"
After saying this, Joseph Biden seemed to have all his strength drained, his spirit instantly wilting.
"We can't tell the whole world that the Dragon Country's secret weapons, in the blink of an eye, annihilated the Third and Fifth Carrier Fleets, as well as the British Commonwealth Royal Fleet, without firing a shot!"
"This would indeed make the Dragon Country a target of many countries' joint sanctions, but the United States, having lost its military hegemony, will find itself in an even more tragic situation!"
"Smith," Joseph Biden sighed deeply, "go call the reporters. This should be my last public address."
Smith Lune was stunned. "Mr. President, you..."
"Don't say any more," Joseph Biden waved his hand, interrupting Smith Lune. "We've been surpassed by the Dragon Country in multiple fields like chips, medicine, and automobiles. Our Third and Fifth Fleets are completely wiped out."
"The public's anger needs an outlet, and I, as the President, am the best scapegoat. Hurry up and call the reporters. It's the last time. Let me leave with dignity."
After Smith Lune left, Joseph Biden sat in the corner, looking at the pale ceiling, his consciousness gradually blurring.
Why did it turn out this way? Why was America number one in the world before he took office, and why has it declined since he took office?
Why is the Dragon Country unwilling to continue being a cheap sweatshop? Why don't they keep producing low-end industrial products and exchanging nine hundred million shirts for a retired airplane? Why are they upgrading their industries? Why don't they stay content being exploited and oppressed!
If Jing Mingqiu were here and heard him ask this, he would undoubtedly spit in his face without hesitation.
Why should the people of the Dragon Country always be exploited, always do the hardest and most tiring work, while the descendants of you robbers can live lavishly without working for it?
It is true that the Dragon Country's recent technological advancements owe a part of their success to the system, but sixty years ago, when their ancestors started from scratch, researching atomic bombs under the encirclement and blockade of the West, they had no system to help them.
"For the sake of great ambitions, dare to let the sun and moon change the sky anew."
If it weren't for the ancestors who bravely paved the way and pioneered the wilderness, transforming the Dragon Country from a poor and dilapidated agricultural nation into the world's largest industrial power, even with the system's help, Jing Mingqiu would not have been able to achieve such great accomplishments in such a short period.
Five minutes later, the press corps arrived. With the help of his secretary, Joseph Biden tidied up his appearance, then, holding the speech prepared by the experts, he put on a very sorrowful expression towards the camera.
"We are very sorry for what has happened. First, we extend our most sincere condolences to these fallen soldiers."
"Next, I need to state that this matter has nothing to do with the Dragon Country. They just happened to be passing by..."
As soon as Joseph Biden finished speaking, a reporter immediately stood up and asked, "Mr. President, you say that the sinking of the Third and Fifth Fleets has nothing to do with the Dragon Country. Why were they nearby and not sunk? Is it really not because they acted secretly?"
"There is a possibility, but the possibility is very low. Not to mention whether the Dragon Country has the capability to annihilate carrier fleets, even if they did, weapons can now conduct beyond-visual-range attacks. They would have no reason to get so close and make themselves suspects."
Everyone thought that it made sense. "Indeed, if the Dragon Country had such powerful weapons, they would have ruled the world long ago. There would be no reason for them to remain content in their corner."
Joseph Biden continued to read his prepared statement, following the excuse provided by the experts.
"We suspect that there might be a special magnetic field here that caused the high-tech equipment on the ships to malfunction suddenly. The Dragon Country's fleet was unharmed, possibly because their equipment is more primitive."
The reporters in the audience exchanged glances upon hearing this. They couldn't help but burst into laughter. Joseph Biden's hidden meaning was clear to them – wasn't this indirectly saying that the Dragon Country's fleet was backward?
While Joseph Biden was trying to whitewash himself and smear the Dragon Country, on Jing Mingqiu's side, the situation suddenly changed dramatically. The sky turned dark, a strong wind howled, and huge waves surged.
The rescue boats deployed by the US and British Commonwealth fleets were like fallen leaves in the storm. A few soldiers, losing their grip for a moment, were thrown out of the lifeboats.
Then, the waves swept them away, and the soldiers instantly disappeared without a trace.
The audience in the livestream erupted upon seeing this scene.
【What's going on? Why did such huge winds and waves suddenly appear?】
【Rescue them! Hurry and rescue them!】
Jing Mingqiu was too lazy to rescue the sinful soldiers of the US, but considering that he was currently broadcasting live, and for the sake of the Dragon Country's reputation, he still immediately dispatched two large rescue ships.
However, he remained vigilant and deliberately selected several US Navy soldiers who looked very nervous and were holding weapons.
Jing Mingqiu personally captained the ship. As soon as he reached the soldiers, before he could even speak, under the gaze of tens of millions of viewers on the livestream, a gunshot rang out!
