Chapter 673: The Dragon Nation is destined to fall!

Time does not linger; the seasons flow like a river.

In the blink of an eye, a month's time passed quietly.

During this month, the situation on Blue Star was not as simple as it seemed; it had undergone extremely massive changes!

The world landscape had undergone a fundamental shift following the surrender of Sakura.

Sakura and Kimchi no longer dared to act arrogantly before the Dragon Nation, and the forces of the Free Nation had long since withdrawn from East Asia.

The entirety of East Asia, and even Southeast Asia, had become the private domain of the Dragon Nation.

The so-called First Island Chain and Second Island Chain had long since existed in name only!

The Dragon Nation's influence had extended beyond East Asia, infiltrating even Central Asia and the Middle East.

Warship after warship, sold by the Dragon Nation, departed from its docks and sailed toward countries across the globe!

The globalization of the Dragon Nation's currency had also entered an irreversible process.

Although it could not yet be mentioned in the same breath as the Free Nation's dollar, the gap was no longer very far...

Whether viewed from the perspective of spheres of influence, economic strength, or international impact.

The Dragon Nation had completely broken free from the category of a regional power.

It had thoroughly and completely become a superpower capable of standing toe-to-toe with, or even surpassing, the Free Nation!

The era of one superpower and many strong nations on Blue Star had passed.

The world had entered a brand-new era of two giants contending for hegemony...

The Free Nation.

The White Palace, the President's office.

A series of urgent knocks sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

The President raised his head, and Shi Misi, the Chief Secretary of the White Palace, walked in slowly.

Immediately, he handed a document to the President's desk.

"Mr. President!"

"Over this past month, our economic ties with the Dragon Nation have been basically severed! There are still some sporadic transactions, but they are also being cleared out rapidly!"

"Furthermore, our nation's manufacturing and real economy are gradually recovering. Currently, looking at the big picture, everything is developing in a positive direction..."

"The only trouble is that our citizens in the Free Nation seem quite resistant to becoming workers in the manufacturing sector! Many people have taken to the streets, holding up flags in protest..."

"..."

Baideng waved his hand, signaling for Shi Misi to stop.

"These are problems that will inevitably arise after the real economy returns!"

"There is no need to report this to me..."

These days, life had not been easy for Sakura, and life in the Free Nation was equally difficult.

Baideng was so troubled he couldn't sleep through the night!

Various social classes were taking to the streets, claiming they wanted to defend their rights.

The ethnic makeup of the Free Nation was complex to begin with, and national cohesion was basically non-existent.

If it hadn't been for the redemption of the two aircraft carriers, the *Reagan* and the *Leviathan*, last month, it is likely the Free Nation would already be in complete chaos... ===== CHAPTER 675 =====
