Chapter 1954

"You dare define my gender?"

The West exploded.

In the past, Western countries would still play the political-correctness game—gendered assault helicopters, Walmart shopping bags, all that nonsense.

But now, with the interests of every nation's leadership at stake, this political-correctness game could go hang.

Under orders from each country's upper echelons, the troublemakers were thrown straight into prison.

At this, the major groups caught on—the leadership was serious about this matter—so they immediately lowered their flags and silenced their drums.

These people were all sharp operators.

When there's fame to gain, profit to gain, they'll do it.

But if it's truly dangerous, they won't be the ones charging in!

People who fish for benefits in politics are rarely fools.

Take the Western environmental groups—why do they only dare to bark at developing countries, while turning a blind eye to every environmental problem at home?

No other reason: barking at developing countries means their own country backs them, and there's fame and profit to be had.

Bark at developed countries, bark at their own country, offend the upper echelons, offend the plutocrats—and that's a life-threatening business.

Like the nuclear wastewater discharge issue in Sakura Country—how many environmental groups came out to protest?

Freedom and democracy are just slogans.

When real upper-echelon interests are on the line, these things get smashed to pieces.

"Bai Suzhen is from our country! Welcome the Princess home!"

"A warm welcome to the Princess's return to her homeland!"

"..."

Under the upper echelons' mediation, only one voice remained on every country's internet.

Central Plains, the Imperial Capital.

Bai Suzhen was enjoying delicacies from the Eight Great Culinary Traditions while scrolling the internet.

The people accompanying her were deeply worried—would the Princess, after seeing those things, really run off to Hans Cat?

But Bai Suzhen paid it no heed at all; she suddenly stopped what she was doing and went outside.

"How dare they try to teach me what to do?!"

With a wave of her hand, streams of flowing light flew up.

In less than a single breath, the satellites of every country in the sky exploded directly, turning into beautiful fireworks.

Only, ordinary people could not see this beautiful fireworks display.

"Oh, my gawd."

Heigong.

The White-Headed Eagle leader stared at the final image transmitted back by the satellite, dumbfounded.

Destroying a satellite with a single wave of the hand—what kind of power was this?

This had already surpassed their previous expectations of Bai Suzhen.

At the same time, Hans Cat, Gao Lu Chicken, and other countries also received the final images sent back by their satellites and fell silent.

"Immediately withdraw the previous decision—pretend this whole thing never happened!"

Clearly, the previous flattery had landed on the wrong part of the horse.

The destruction of each country's satellites caused their networks to nearly collapse, resulting in incalculable losses.

Only the Central Plains' satellites remained in the sky, completing their work on schedule.

When the Central Plains' satellite broadcast the images it had captured, the entire Central Plains erupted.

"Amazing! Bai Suzhen is just too powerful!"

"If Bai Suzhen is already this strong, then the Dao Lord and Lady Nüwa she worships must be strong beyond measure, right?"

"If only I had the chance to meet Lady Nüwa—I really want the Lady to mold me a girlfriend!"

"6, daring to say something like that in this day and age—you really must be tired of living."

"Exactly, unlike me—even though I want the Lady to mold me a boyfriend, I don't dare say it."

"..."

Half a month later, Bai Suzhen had finished recruiting all kinds of talent and returned to her own world.

Before leaving, she also took a twelve-person chef team with her.

It could be said that Bai Suzhen's trip to another world this time had been successfully completed.

And at this moment, most Western countries were still mired in darkness.

Of course, this darkness did not refer to light—after all, the sun was always in the sky and had not fallen.

This darkness referred to the Western countries losing their satellites, being like the blind.

A satellite is an extremely sophisticated instrument; manufacturing one takes as long as two or three years.

Advanced countries like the White-Headed Eagle were fine—they had all kinds of reserves; once the satellites in the sky fell, after Bai Suzhen left, they could just launch another one.

Ordinary Western countries did not have this capability.

One had to know that such sophisticated instruments sitting in reserve cost money every moment.

Maintenance, upkeep...

This was absolutely not something the finances of ordinary small countries could sustain.

Taking advantage of this time, the Central Plains developed aggressively, seized many resources, and made a killing.
