Chapter 616: The most powerful opponent!

Shi Misi was able to sit in the position of Chief Secretary of the White Palace, so he was naturally not a fool. After Baideng's guidance, he instantly understood Baideng's thoughts.

"Alright, Sir! I will go and handle it!"

Baideng took another sip of coffee, smiled and nodded, and continued.

"In addition, the trade between our Free Nation and the Dragon Nation should be reduced as much as possible now."

"In every aspect and every industry, we should decouple from the Dragon Nation as soon as possible!"

"The Dragon Nation is no longer just an opponent; it is now an enemy of our Free Nation!"

"Also, we should increase investment in our manufacturing..."

"Do you understand?"

Shi Misi's expression shook upon hearing this, and he nodded like a pestle pounding garlic.

"Understood!"

Decoupling completely from the Dragon Nation was absolutely an incredibly difficult decision for the Free Nation.

The Dragon Nation possessed the most comprehensive and efficient industrial production chain on the entire Blue Planet.

And it had a huge demographic dividend; the people were hardworking and enduring, and their quality was far higher than that of the workers in the Free Nation who were always on strike!

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple!

The Free Nation, which was used to being the boss, now wanted to decouple completely from the Dragon Nation.

This meant that it had to abandon the current financial model of lying down and making money, and instead develop real industry with greater effort, picking up manufacturing again!

Being a worker?

For the lazy and arrogant Free Nation people, this was simply a torture!

But helplessly, this was the path the current Free Nation had to take!

Once great power competition begins, the industrial chain is the skeleton of a country!

Finance can lie!

But industry cannot!

If the Free Nation wants to completely crush the Dragon Nation, no matter how difficult this road is, it must be walked!

Baideng knew this, and Shi Misi understood it in his heart.

Even any Free Nation person with a bit of insight could think of it.

But when it came to implementation, the resistance faced would absolutely exceed everyone's imagination.

The Free Nation people had lived a hegemon's life of using the dollar to harvest the world for too long!

Making them go down to earth to do real industry was absolutely not something that could be solved by a few orders...

Thinking of this, Baideng could not help but sigh.

He waved his hand at Shi Misi and said: "Alright, there is nothing else, you go and get busy..."

Since Baideng had said so, Shi Misi naturally did not stay; he agreed and exited the office.

Bang—

With the sound of a door closing, only Baideng was left in the office now.

Baideng narrowed his eyes, took a sip of coffee, and looked at the scenery outside the window from afar, but his mood was complicated to the extreme.

Dragon Nation!

It had risen too fast!

So fast that Baideng, and even the whole world, felt fear!

It had only been twenty years!

On what basis did the Rabbit do it?

Directly developing from that poor and white semi-industrial country into the behemoth that could keep pace with itself today?

This simply did not conform to common sense!

Such a thing had never happened in history!

The most outrageous thing was that in the past few years, the Dragon Nation was at least fifteen years behind the Free Nation!

Not a few years later, it directly overtook them!

Did they use a cheat code, damn it?

Whether it was missile systems or nuclear technology, or even in the aircraft carrier field that the Free Nation was most proud of, the Dragon Nation had achieved a corner-overtaking!

The most outrageous thing was that the Dragon Nation had even built an aerospace carrier!

The Free Nation hadn't even finished the PPT for this thing!

The current Dragon Nation even gave the Free Nation a feeling of being unfathomable in the field of technology!

If the Free Nation went to war with the Dragon Nation now, a 50% win rate would already be a very optimistic estimate!

In Baideng's heart, the Free Nation's win rate was at most 30% or 40%, or even lower...

To put it bluntly, the Free Nation was now standing on the edge of a cliff.

Even during the Cold War with the Big Bear, the Free Nation had never encountered such a passive situation!

The threat of the Dragon Nation was actually several times stronger than that of the Big Bear!

Simply put, when the Big Bear was competing with Eagle Sauce for the status of world hegemon, it relied mainly on the superiority of values!

It was a spiritual attack!

In terms of hard power, whether it was economy or technological level, the Free Nation at that time was absolutely firmly pressing the Big Bear!

Plus, the Big Bear's leaders were also stupid; while confronting, they actually gave up the invincible weapon of values and chose to fight hand-to-hand with Eagle Sauce, comparing material foundations!

It was like a succubus proficient in spiritual attacks, not using her charm skills, but choosing to fight hand-to-hand with a cyclops!

Isn't this just sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, looking for death!

Therefore, the disintegration of the Big Bear was both accidental and inevitable!

However, the Rabbit was different...

This time, the Rabbit might still have a slight gap with the Big Bear in values, but compared to the Free Nation, it was absolutely much stronger!

Most importantly, the Rabbit's hard power was much, much stronger than the Big Bear's back then!

The Rabbit's current economy was already enough to rival the Free Nation!

And the technological level had even suppressed the Free Nation! ===== CHAPTER 618 =====
