Chapter 165: Sanctions, must be severely sanctioned!

Free Nation, White Palace.

At this moment, President Baideng was furious and immediately summoned a group of think tanks to start an emergency discussion.

But even the Free Nation's think tank, which claimed to gather the most powerful brains on Blue Star.

At this very moment, they didn't know what medicine was sold in the Dragon Nation's gourd...

How did it suddenly transform from a big white rabbit that everyone could bully into a tough Eastern lion?

"President... is it possible that the Dragon Nation has achieved technological breakthroughs we didn't anticipate during this period?"

"It's very likely that it's these technological breakthroughs that have given the Dragon Nation increased confidence..."

Old Professor Manchester from Harvard University pushed up his glasses and expressed his opinion.

Beside him, Professor Carter from the University of Southern California, hearing Manchester's deduction, shook his head silently.

"The possibility of this is almost zero!"

"It hasn't been many years since the Dragon Nation's J-20 was born, and they've only launched three aircraft carriers; the probability of wanting to achieve technological breakthroughs and catch up to our Free Nation in the short term is even smaller than Mars hitting Earth!"

"I'm more inclined to believe this is a political strategic adjustment carried out by the Dragon Nation's Imperial Capital side!"

"It's to test our reaction; if the Free Nation's counterattack isn't powerful enough, the Dragon Nation side will definitely push their luck!!"

Once these words were spoken.

They immediately gained the approval of everyone present.

Even President Baideng nodded at this moment.

"General McVeigh! Please analyze for us the probability of our combat success if we use military force against the Dragon Nation side now!"

Don't look at Baideng, who usually looks very gentle.

But when he was young, he was a famous hawk towards China in the political arena, so as soon as he heard about a conflict with the Dragon Nation, Baideng's first reaction was to use military force!

To force the Dragon Nation to bow its head.

General McVeigh was the only military representative among everyone present.

At this moment, everyone looked at him.

McVeigh paused, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Hmm..."

"If it's ocean-going combat, our military has a 100% certainty of defeating the Dragon Nation's troops!"

"If it's in the Dragon Nation's near seas, with seven to eight aircraft carrier formations dispatched, our military's winning rate is about 50%..."

"But if it's on the Dragon Nation's home soil..."

"Then the winning rate might be less than 20%!"

"And, if a war is provoked, the probability of triggering World War III is extremely high..."

"Therefore, I do not suggest taking military action against the Dragon Nation at such a time!"

Baideng's brows furrowed.

Clearly, these words really surprised him.

Thinking back to when he was still young, the Dragon Nation was just a piece of rotten mud; as long as the Free Nation didn't mind getting dirty, there was no problem in how they handled it!

Even if the embassy was bombed and the escort plane was destroyed.

The Dragon Nation's domestic protests were just protests, but the government still didn't dare to make a sound, fearing to anger the Free Nation!

It's only been twenty years!

The Dragon Nation has actually developed to the point where it can wrestle with the Free Nation in the near seas!

All of this must be blamed on the former President Trump and the former former President Obama for raising a tiger that caused trouble!

Thinking of this.

Baideng only felt a burst of depression in his heart!

He couldn't recover for a long time.

"President, it seems now we can only take the path of economic sanctions and political suppression..."

Professor Carter looked at Baideng's brown eyes and said seriously.

"Sanctions!"

"Must be severely sanctioned!"

Baideng patted the table hard and said angrily: "Just follow the sanction intensity of that Mao Xiong Nation!"

"No! It must be much more severe than that!"

"This time, if we don't completely ruin the Dragon Nation's economy, my Free Nation won't be able to swallow this breath!"

"If I don't let the Dragon Nation learn a good lesson, then I, as President, have worked in vain!"

"..."

That afternoon.

The spokesperson for the Free Nation's White Palace announced to the whole world the news of economic sanctions against the Dragon Nation.

The news stated that from now on, the tariffs on goods exported from the Dragon Nation to the Free Nation will all be increased by 50% on the original basis!

And, restrict various nations from exporting strategic materials to the Dragon Nation!

Vowing to crush the Dragon Nation's economy in one fell swoop!

Once this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Especially those nations that had grudges with the Dragon Nation in the past, upon hearing this news, were like it was New Year's.

They celebrated by beating drums and gongs!

White Elephant: "Hahahaha! Rabbit, you have today too! Seeing you stumble is happier than me picking up money!"

Foot Basin Chicken: "Rabbit! See that? This is the consequence of angering Daddy! This is just the first step; if you dare to make trouble again! Daddy will definitely break you and make braised rabbit to eat!"

Ni Nation: "Economic sanctions with such intensity! The Rabbit will have enough to suffer! Let him provoke the Free Nation, he deserves it!"

"..."

The whole world was almost kicking the Dragon Nation while it was down.

Except for a few iron brothers like Ba Tie, who were still speaking for the Dragon Nation, the public opinion on the entire foreign internet was almost one-sided towards the Free Nation.

On the foreign internet, it was unanimously believed.

The incident this time was the Dragon Nation's responsibility.

And the Free Nation was just making a reasonable counterattack.

In this world, there is never so-called fairness and justice; under power, right and wrong are never important.

At this moment.

Dragon Nation military high-level meeting.

A group of generals looked at the news on the foreign internet, but there was not a hint of worry on their faces; smiles were almost overflowing from the corners of their eyes.

"Hahaha-hic!"

"Economic sanctions against us, sanctions against the Dragon Nation, I really don't know what Baideng is thinking!"

"Laughing to death..."

"Do they really think we are Da Mao?"

Wang Zhenlong laughed until his stomach hurt.

Clearly, he didn't take the so-called economic sanctions seriously at all...

All the generals present, after understanding the powerful combat capability of the J-40, and then seeing the Free Nation's threats, only felt incredibly calm in their hearts, without the slightest fluctuation...

Come on, the trump card is already in hand.

Still afraid of sanctions?

Besides, do they really think the Dragon Nation is the Mao Xiong Nation!

The entire Mao Xiong Nation's economy can only be worth one province of the Dragon Nation!

If the Free Nation wants to sanction the Dragon Nation, they themselves will inevitably suffer backlash, and their days won't be easy either! ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
