Chapter 1087: Yang's Scheme, Encircling the Yueqiu

Yang Qing's words instantly caused a huge shock worldwide.

They truly felt for the first time that they had come to the brink of war.

Real fools are few; most are just people who have been deceived into seeing falsehoods.

But Yang Qing's words pierced their confusion, and many things could be explained clearly.

Yingjiang repeatedly stirred up conflicts.

They made all kinds of bizarre decisions domestically.

It seemed many things that happened before World War II were starting to repeat.

Although Yang Qing exposed the truth, many things still could not be changed.

But at least people worldwide now saw clearly who their enemy was?

Who was striving for peace, and who was shouting for conflict?

This is a thorn.

A thorn likely to reenact some horrible things from World War II.

When people worldwide understood who was destroying their good lives, the final fate of some might be even more tragic than in history.

If what they didn't want to happen actually occurred, perhaps the Shepherd People faction would truly be exterminated.

Yang Qing's words gave humanity a wake-up call.

It also threatened the Shepherd People: some things, it's better not to go too far, otherwise………

Ma Yilong now regretted a bit asking that question.

I just didn't want Yingjiang to keep declining; how did you lift the lid?

Bitter, too bitter.

"Yang Lao, aren't you being a bit alarmist? Nowadays we have nuclear bombs; once conflict breaks out, it's likely to cause catastrophic results."

"I think what you said is wrong."

After Xue Gang finished relaying, Yang Qing chuckled.

"What's the point of right and wrong?"

"Anyway, as long as the world is split, Yingjiang will be pleased."

"What he wants is to profit as the fisherman's gain, not really to directly join the war!"

"No matter the outcome, he would welcome it gladly."

"If the fight is fierce, he mediates; if it's weak, he provokes."

"By then, whether manufacturing or wealth, they will quickly shift to countries like Yingjiang with superior geographic advantages."

"The only thing that can threaten Yingjiang now is Daxia; as long as Yingjiang doesn't overly provoke Daxia, he can remain invincible."

"Even if the effect is poor, with some support from certain allies, he can at least be a runner-up."

"If the layout is good, in the future they still have a chance to return to first place."

"Some regions are his nourishment for growth."

"Originally, if East and West continents integrated and developed well, this opportunity should have belonged to that side."

Yang Qing spoke obscurely, but everyone understood.

These past years, the self-inflicted stabbing was just that region.

Ma Yilong now understood Yang Qing's meaning.

He is stirring Western relations, letting the two giants vie for second place.

It seems Daxia has already been slated for first place.

But look at Yingjiang, then at Daxia; this old man is right—really only second is up for grabs.

In that case, perhaps Yingjiang is right, decoupling is right, anti-globalization is right, because as long as Daxia refuses to see reason, the outcome is set.

Yingjiang's opportunity has come; they can reenact the scene from back then.

But Daxia isn't stupid either; they obviously won't do such a thing.

WanDao, the sole breakthrough point, is also gone.

As for the rest, it's unclear whether they'll add trouble for Daxia or add fodder.

The gap is really too large.

"Yang Lao, isn't Daxia afraid of getting drawn into conflict?"

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

"Nobody is a fool; Daxia is rapidly rising, now is the time to catch the wind; if anyone around Daxia acts foolishly now, they'll bring misfortune upon us."

"Follow our steps, and it's a century of benefit; pick the wrong side, and it's a century of loneliness."

"If you don't want to become a primitive, better keep your mind clear."

"History has already told everyone the truth; when Daxia rose, it brought prosperity to the surroundings."

"Becoming Daxia's enemy, most have vanished in the long river of history."

"Those near the water get the moon first; sun-facing flowers and trees welcome spring easily—choice is important."

Ordinary people saying this would just be laughed off, but when Yang Qing says it, the leaders around Daxia need to think seriously.

Yang Qing's ability to bring the Yang Family to its current scale shows his capability.

Every word he says is not superfluous.

Ma Yilong didn't expect the pit he dug to be so easily resolved by Yang Qing.

Moreover, he used this opportunity to give a warning to the surrounding countries.

Especially Yingjiang's little brothers.

"What does it mean to become Daxia's enemy? Most have disappeared in the family's historical river."

"You're not just pointing at someone else's nose to scold them; you'd better calm down, or I'll kill you?"

Ma Yilong is a Daxia insider, Yang Qing's subtext, and he can still hear it.

Moreover, Ma Yilong also feels that Yingjiang lacks the guts to involve himself, at most it would disgust Daxia a little.

But with the rollout of Daxia's new weapons, that disgust becomes self‑inflicted humiliation.

Better not waste more time on this; it would only make oneself more awkward.

He wanted to ask the thing he most wanted to know.

"Yang Lao, I want to ask the final question."

"What do you think is most important for Starry Sky Aerospace?"

"The global space activities have stagnated for so many years; the root cause is the investment return rate issue."

"Can the Heavenly Vessel truly break through this dilemma?"

"The Heavenly Vessel requires such massive investment; aren't you afraid it will be a total loss?"

Yang Qing, after hearing Xue Gang's recount, continued to smile.

"Benefit indeed is an important driver of space development."

"The return rate is indeed very low."

"But there's a reality you haven't seen."

"That is, with the spread of Artificial Intelligence, humanity's productivity will explode in the future."

"Such explosive productivity cannot be digested by humanity alone."

"If these productivity gains cannot be absorbed, they will turn against humanity itself."

"These productivity gains need a breakthrough point, and I think the space industry will be the most important direction for that."

"Just as the defense industry was a huge breakthrough for traditional productivity, back then Yingjiang survived the crisis by selling weapons."

"Spaceflight, too, is a great outlet for new productivity."

"You may be weak, but you cannot be absent."

"And the support for this argument is the Yueqiu."

"If you don't keep up, Daxia's flags will be planted on every inch of the Yueqiu's surface."

Crap…………

Yang scheme, an unsolvable Yang scheme………

Yeah, this is not just a return‑rate issue; this is Great Voyages, this is Land Grabbing.

It's about seizing territory.

Back then, the bullfighter seized the most fertile lands of the New Continent, sustaining bullfighting for centuries.

Daxia wants to play the same game.

He is plainly telling you, I'm going to claim land.

Are you in or not?
