The airport in the capital of Bangzi Country.
Han Yibang's private jet had not yet landed, but the airport was already crowded with people, chatting amongst themselves, creating a commotion.
Not far away, Bangzi Country soldiers were maintaining order.
"Captain, are we just going to let them keep making noise?"
A young soldier within the Bangzi Country troop couldn't help but ask, listening to the clamor.
"Let them be,"
The captain waved his hand calmly. "They are all foreign media and our Bangzi Country citizens, coming to interview our leader this time."
"What else can we do? Should we arrest them all?"
"As long as there's no fighting, we won't interfere."
Toward the end, he had a thought he didn't voice: he also wanted to know why Han Yibang had made this decision.
Didn't he know the consequences of this decision?
Tap, tap, tap!
Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from inside the airport exit.
The footsteps grew louder as they approached the crowd.
Everyone looked up and saw Han Yibang, dressed in a suit, slowly walking out.
Instantly.
The noisy scene fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All eyes were fixed on Han Yibang.
Han Yibang showed no stage fright. As the leader of Bangzi Country, he had seen more intense scenes than this.
However, unlike before, he could clearly discern the emotions expressed in each person's gaze.
There was doubt, confusion, anger, trust, amusement, contempt, and so on.
Each person displayed a different emotion.
As Han Yibang walked out of the airport and approached them.
"Mr. Han, it's rumored that the post you made online was fake? May I ask if this is true?"
"Mr. Han, it's rumored that you have led Bangzi Country to surrender to Da Xia and become a vassal state? Is this true?"
"Mr. Han, what was it about this trip to Da Xia that allowed you to make the decision to surrender without authorization?"
...
Questions from reporters from various countries poured in, each one hitting the mark and making it difficult to answer.
It was clear they had received instructions from their respective leaders to specifically ask these questions.
In response, the other media outlets focused their cameras on Han Yibang, eagerly wanting to know how he would answer.
Facing the cameras, Han Yibang's expression remained calm.
He showed a slight smile to the camera and said, "All your questions are very good, and I will explain them truthfully!"
"Of course, you must first quiet down."
"Otherwise, I can't hear clearly what you are asking."
Upon hearing Han Yibang's words, the reporters who had been vying to ask questions finally fell silent.
"Alright, now I will first answer a few of the questions you are most concerned about."
Han Yibang said with a faint smile, "First, the post you saw was indeed posted by me."
"Second, our Bangzi Country has indeed surrendered to Da Xia. The reason is very simple. After experiencing the incident of the small world."
"I deeply realized how poor the military strength of Bangzi Country is. If another small world conflict occurs, Bangzi Country will surely not be able to resist."
"Therefore, Bangzi Country can only choose a more powerful country as its backer."
"Second, half of Bangzi Country's territory has already been given to Da Xia. I believe the leaders of various countries are aware of this, but I still want to inform the general public."
Boom!
What Han Yibang said at this moment perfectly exemplified what it meant to cause a huge stir.
The information he conveyed was simply too immense.
"Mr. Han!"
"If you're looking for a backer, wouldn't it be better to find Meiguo than Da Xia?"
"After all, Meiguo is the most powerful country on our Blue Star!"
Just then, someone else asked.
"What you said is not wrong."
Han Yibang nodded slightly in agreement, but then he changed his tone and said, "However, Meiguo is not the best choice."
"Compared to Meiguo, I prefer Da Xia!"
The media reporters from Meiguo's faces darkened.
Han Yibang's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to Meiguo.
Saying Meiguo wasn't the best choice and Da Xia was more suitable.
Wasn't this implicitly saying that Meiguo was inferior to Da Xia?
"Mr. Han, I'd like to know in what way Meiguo is inferior to Da Xia?" the reporter immediately countered.
"If you cannot provide a valid reason... then you are slandering our Meiguo!"
"We Meiguo have the right to deal with you!"
Han Yibang sneered. Since Meiguo was being so uncooperative.
He didn't hold back anything and directly turned to the cameras of the major media outlets and shouted, "You should all know about our alliance with Meiguo some time ago."
"But... when Bangzi Country was in crisis, where was Meiguo?"
"They didn't offer any solutions at all. In the end, it was Da Xia that resolved the extraterrestrial beasts for Bangzi Country. Based on this alone, is it wrong for me to say Meiguo is inferior to Da Xia?"
Everyone fell silent.
What Han Yibang said was indeed true. When the small world invaded Bangzi Country.
Almost everyone thought Bangzi Country was finished.
It was impossible for them to turn the tide.
But who would have thought that Bangzi Country would ultimately be revitalized?
And it was by Ao Yuan, their former enemy!
Based on this alone, there was nothing to fault Bangzi Country for surrendering to Da Xia.
After all, Ao Yuan was currently a part of Da Xia.
"F*ck!"
However, as they thought this, the reporter from Meiguo angrily retorted, "Have you forgotten that our leader first paid 50 billion to Ao Yuan to help you?"
Everyone looked at Han Yibang with some disbelief. It was clear they had not expected this aspect of the matter.
And if it was said like this, Han Yibang's actions were indeed a bit ungentlemanly.
"Hmph!"
Just as they were about to condemn and denounce Han Yibang, Han Yibang let out a cold哼 first.
He looked at the reporter from Meiguo with extreme contempt and said, "Who doesn't know what John Klason's intentions were?"
"You must know that previously, our Bangzi Country and Ao Yuan were like fire and water."
"If he truly wanted to save me, why would he give that 50 billion? Couldn't he have just dispatched your Meiguo's gene warriors?"
The media from various countries heard this and thought it made sense. They all turned to look at the reporter from Meiguo.
The reporter from Meiguo's face turned pale, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
"I..."
After a moment of brainstorming, he was about to try to explain when Han Yibang directly interrupted him, "Don't say 'I'. In fact, John Klason just wanted to see my relationship with Da Xia completely sour."
