Chapter 270

"Rules!? Does the Ugly Country care about rules?"

Lin Yi said sarcastically.

"Therefore, the nation must become even stronger, even surpassing the Ugly Country,

and only then can our Dragon Nation make the world follow our rules..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi fell silent.

"Tell me, what do you intend to do!!"

"Do something worth ten million dollars!" Wang Luchuan replied.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yi was somewhat confused.

"We have no tasks; what your organization wants to do is none of our concern.

This ten million dollars is simply for you to spend as you please...!"

Lin Yi glanced at this reply and found it quite interesting.

The nation had spent ten million dollars just to let him act freely.

This allowed for boundless imagination.

Thus, Lin Yi thought of the hidden pieces he had previously placed in the Rodent Nation.

Additionally, there were the ten thousand troops the Rodent Nation had sent to reinforce the Xuzheng Prefecture battlefield.

Indeed, although John Bull had given up on sending reinforcements,

the Ugly Country, feeling guilty toward John Bull, had said nothing.

However, the Rodent Nation did not receive such treatment.

As a son of the Ugly Country, when the Rodent Nation said it would send ten thousand troops, it sent ten thousand.

Now, these ten thousand soldiers were fighting against the Xuzheng Prefecture army in Xuzheng.

"I understand, though it is hard to believe the nation would do such a thing!"

"We have done nothing; this ten million is merely a consultation fee!"

"Heh, fine, a consultation fee!"

Lin Yi laughed.

Thus, both sides ended their communication.

From start to finish, the DWS platform never stated whether it accepted this consultation fee.

However, soon after, videos of the Rodent Nation shooting at Dragon Nation fishing boats and dumping the bodies spread across the internet.

Unlike in the domestic sphere, many citizens within the Rodent Nation actually regarded those coast guard officers as heroes.

They felt that since Dragon Nation soldiers had massacred so many Rodent Nation troops on the Xuzheng battlefield,

what did it matter if the coast guard killed a few Dragon Nation fishermen now!

In short, under the public opinion in the Rodent Nation,

the people there currently held not a shred of goodwill toward the Dragon Nation.

Of course, domestically, the Korean Wave was at its peak around 2016.

A few years prior, a certain celebrity had knelt before a Rodent Nation star.

Many Dragon Nation people still shamelessly traveled to the Rodent Nation for tourism.

Every May Day, travelers from the Dragon Nation filled every corner of the Rodent Nation,

to the point that many Rodent Nation natives grew weary and disgusted of Dragon Nation people, complaining there were too many of them.

Even after the DWS massacre of Rodent Nation soldiers, the number of people traveling to the Rodent Nation remained high.

This persisted even after this recent shooting incident.

When some Rodent Nation people were asked if they feared retaliation from the Dragon Nation,

they instead mocked, "Dragon Nation people have only a seven-second memory. These people have no dignity, no backbone; no matter how much we discriminate against them, these Dragon Nation people flooding the streets will still rush to the Rodent Nation to spend their money."

Even in the future, a certain Rodent Nation president would speak arrogantly, saying,

"I greatly dislike Dragon Nation people, yet I love their money. As a nation with cultural confidence, all the Rodent Nation can do is make Dragon Nation people kneel and offer up their wealth!"

However, following the shooting incident, public opinion in the Dragon Nation began to align.

That was the comprehensive restriction of the so-called Korean Wave; in other words, the Ban on Korea was announced.

Those Rodent Nation stars who thought they could come to the Dragon Nation to make money whenever they were broke suffered a massive blow this time.

Beyond that, the Dragon Nation began restricting flights to the Rodent Nation.

Simultaneously, the Dragon Nation's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a severe protest against the Rodent Nation, demanding they hand over those Rodent Nation coast guard officers to the Dragon Nation for legal processing.

This could be said to be the most tough-minded protest the Dragon Nation had issued in decades.

In the past, the Dragon Nation would certainly never have acted this way.

However, from some point onward,

the Dragon Nation's foreign policy seemed to have changed somewhat.

And this statement was described by foreign media as

the beginning of the transformation of its diplomatic policy.

One reporter said: The Dragon Nation has become more confident; they are no longer satisfied with mere verbal protests.

What they hope to obtain is treatment commensurate with their status as a great power.

At the same time, certain reporters or politicians remained quite perplexed,

At the same time, some reporters or politicians were very uninformed,

For the Rod Government to provoke the current Dragon Nation demonstrates a profound lack of political wisdom.

Indeed, regarding geopolitical realities, the Dragon Nation could not possibly dispatch troops to attack the Rod Nation.

However, do not forget the existence of the DWS Platform; that is a group of true madmen.

It is hard to imagine the Rod Government would offend a madman organization merely for the sake of a few coast guard officers.

Yet at this moment, the Rod Government suffers in silence, unable to voice its bitterness.

Although those few coast guard officers have been captured now, no one dares speak of handing these "heroes" over to the Dragon Nation in name.

Should that happen, the surging public opinion would absolutely force the President from power.

One could say the Rod Government has been completely hijacked by public sentiment.

Chapter 202: The Beginning of Equal Cooperation with the Dragon Nation

Although the Rod Government was hijacked by public sentiment, Lin Yi cared nothing for the Rod Government's situation.

Someone must ultimately be held responsible for this incident.

Not to mention that the Dragon Nation government subsequently transferred ten million US dollars.

Of course, for Lin Yi, the significance of those ten million US dollars outweighed the financial gain.

This represented that trust had begun to form between the two sides, who were now attempting mutual cooperation.

Lin Yi had actually harbored an idea for quite some time.

That idea was to cooperate with the Dragon Nation in certain fields where he could not openly participate in the future.

The two sides would establish an equal, reciprocal relationship.

For instance, future cooperation in areas such as nuclear power and space exploration.

Of course, since it was an equal relationship,

Lin Yi would absolutely never suffer losses regarding profits.

"Forty-six-three."

Otherwise, he would rather not proceed at all than allow the other party to take advantage of him.

However, all of this rested on the premise that Lin Yi possessed sufficient strength to safeguard his own interests.

Without enough strength, given the Dragon Nation people's typical nature,

the other party would swallow you whole, leaving nothing behind.

Therefore, Lin Yi needed to make the nation witness the terrifying power of the DWS Platform.

Only by suppressing all those unrealistic fantasies in their hearts could both sides achieve close, seamless cooperation while sharing benefits.

Thus, Lin Yi regarded this commission from the Dragon Nation as the beginning of their cooperation.
