Chapter 682

"This Dragon Nation is truly a thousand-year-old turtle; at such an important juncture, they can actually remain so calm!"

"Their leaders really have some ability!"

According to Baideng's initial expectation, he announced the start of the Cold War and cut off the Dragon Nation's semiconductor supply.

The Dragon Nation government would probably be in a state of chaos!

If they took this opportunity and the Dragon Nation revealed a flaw, that would be a good opportunity for the Free Nation!

Competition between great powers is like masters sparring.

Often, the winner is decided in an instant!

But clearly, the Dragon Nation did not give the Free Nation such an opportunity...

"Mr. Baideng... then what should we do next?"

"Should we wait and see, waiting for the Dragon Nation to make a mistake under high pressure, or..."

Baideng shook his head silently.

"The Dragon Nation's leaders have always been cautious; their IQ is unknown how many times higher than the heads of Mao Xiong!"

"Waiting for them to make a mistake themselves is no different from a fool's dream!"

"Besides! The Dragon Nation's policy continuity is so good; our Free Nation's President is elected every four years and changed every eight years, and the one who comes to power later always wants to overturn everything the previous one did! If we really drag it out, we won't have waited for the Dragon Nation's mistake before we are found to have made our own!"

"We must press our advantage!"

"Against such a terrifying enemy as the Dragon Nation, we must be bold and forceful, forcing them to keep up with our rhythm, and then use our rich experience to defeat them!"

Baideng narrowed his eyes slowly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Shi Misi on the side, however, had eyes full of confusion...

"Then... Mr. President, according to your meaning, what should we do?"

Baideng heard this, and his brain began to run at high speed.

A moment later, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he spoke slowly.

"Like this! Let's host a World Lithography Machine Expo!"

"Lithography machine? Expo?"

Shi Misi's confused voice came.

"Mr. Baideng, in the whole world, there are only a few countries that can build lithography machines! Among them, high-end lithography machine technology is all in our hands... hosting this expo... doesn't have much meaning..."

"Besides, we have never hosted this kind of expo before..."

"This seems to have absolutely no meaning..."

In Shi Misi's view, hosting this kind of expo is just entertaining oneself, right?

"So what?"

Baideng drank a sip of coffee and looked at Shi Misi.

Shi Misi suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

"We haven't hosted it before, and the technology for high-end lithography machines in the world is all in our hands; does that mean we can't host this expo?"

Baideng's question directly stumped Shi Misi.

Facing Baideng's question, Shi Misi stuttered and couldn't answer.

Baideng drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, stood up slowly, and patted Shi Misi's shoulder lightly.

"Little guy, let me tell you another principle..."

"In the eyes of great powers, what a thing itself is, is actually not important!"

"The result of this thing and the benefits it brings are the key!"

"Even if a thing has no meaning, as long as it can bring benefits to the Free Nation, we should do it!"

"Do you understand?"

Shi Misi nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Un... understood!"

"I'll go arrange it now!"

After speaking, Shi Misi left Baideng's office with hurried steps.

Even Shi Misi himself didn't realize that in that brief moment, his shirt had already been soaked with cold sweat...

After a while, only Baideng was left in the office.

He looked out the window, his gaze deep.

Hosting an international lithography machine expo.

Baideng didn't tell Shi Misi the intention behind it.

But with Shi Misi's brain, if he pondered a little, he could probably figure it out!

This expo.

The purpose is not at all to introduce any lithography machine technology to the world.

From beginning to end, it is a trap set by Baideng against the Dragon Nation!

With the Dragon Nation's existing lithography machine technology, sending their own lithography machine to participate in this lithography machine expo!

It is absolutely asking for humiliation!

No surprises!

By then, the prestige the Dragon Nation has accumulated internationally these days will be greatly discounted!

A dignified superpower, actually being beaten up by another superpower in the high-end, sophisticated field?

This is a huge blow to the Dragon Nation's own confidence!

Similarly, for the Free Nation, this is definitely a major event to be proud of!

But what if the Dragon Nation doesn't participate in this expo?

Then the Free Nation, which controls the world's mouthpiece, will naturally never let go of this good opportunity to kick them while they are down!

In this way, the Dragon Nation not only admits that they have a large gap with the Free Nation in the semiconductor lithography machine field.

Furthermore, in the eyes of other countries, this is equivalent to the Dragon Nation admitting defeat and surrendering to the Free Nation!

This is a devastating blow to the prestige the Dragon Nation has worked so hard to accumulate!

It is even more serious than being inferior in skill.

In the eyes of countries around the world, this is like hanging out in society, and you just recognized a big brother a second ago.

You can temporarily not beat the enemy, you can suffer a little loss!

But you directly knelt down to the enemy.

What's the point of hanging out then!

Might as well disband...

Simply put, this move by Baideng is a complete and thorough open conspiracy.

The Dragon Nation has to participate if they want to, and they have to participate while gritting their teeth if they don't want to!

The only way to break the situation is for the Dragon Nation to build a 7nm-class lithography machine right now and throw it at the expo.

Shocking everyone.

Regarding this.

Baideng says that if the Dragon Nation can build a 7nm-class lithography machine!

He will go live directly and eat that thing in front of the people of the whole world!

That is how confident he is! ===== CHAPTER 684 =====
