1865
Everyone looked at the general.
This man was also a five-star general. His name was Joseph.
"General Joseph, what did you say?" the President asked.
"Everyone, think about it. A hundred years ago, how powerful were we? We were above all other countries. At that time, when did we ever need to explain to anyone that what we say was what we are? We have developed for more than a hundred years, and we have not regressed at all. We are much stronger than we were a hundred years ago, but we need all sorts of indulgence and concessions from the Chinese government because of a trivial crash. " Joseph asked with a serious expression.
Joseph's words silenced the crowd for a moment, and then the President spoke, "Why do you think? Just because China is the largest economy, just because their overall strength is the strongest right now "
"Yes, they are indeed the strongest. However, are we that much weaker than them?" Not necessarily! Our overall strength is also very strong, it can even be said that we are on par with China. Since that's the case, why must we retreat and even curry favor with the Chinese government? Actually, have you thought of another possibility? for this crash. " Joseph asked.
"Another possibility? "What's the possibility?" the President asked.
"Could it be that the Chinese government personally acted in this crash?" Joseph asked.
"Self-acting?!" Everyone present was shocked by Joseph's words.
"Yes, self-directed!" Joseph nodded, "Even though China's economy and military strength have exceeded ours, but throughout the world, everyone still believes that our Mi Country is the most powerful country, because we have never had a direct confrontation with China before. As far as I know, the Chinese government has always wanted to find an opportunity to face us head on, and as long as they defeat us in a direct confrontation, then they can truly become the overlords of this world. However, after so many years of being on friendly terms with China, this has allowed them to never have the chance to confront us head on until today. That's why I suspect that they are the ones who instigated the plane crash, so that they have an excuse to start a war with us. And if they were to start against us, we have to give in, according to what China said, they are called the ones who give in without fighting, so they don't have to pay any price to become the overlord of the world! "
Everyone fell silent as they heard Joseph's words.
Although they did not quite agree with Joseph, they did not rule out the possibility of Joseph saying so.
In the eyes of these people, the Chinese have always been looking for recovery, for a chance to rise up, and more importantly, for the recognition of the international community, so for the past few years, China's attitude towards the outside world has been very tough, as if trying to convince everyone that he's already the world's strongest country by stepping on some established countries. However, since the Mi Nation has always been on good terms with China, there's no chance for China to step on China anymore, and after all these years, Huaxia is already recognized as the world's strongest country, but it's not because it hasn't actually competed with the Mi Country.
So, that possibility was not excluded. In order to become the new hegemon of the world, the Huaxia government deliberately created such an event and then beat Mi Guoliang with his fist, and even gave Mi Guoliang two punches.
There would be two results in this matter. One was that Mi Guo would admit defeat, and if they admit defeat, they would have to compensate, and there was no guarantee that they would sign many unequal treaties, which was a good thing for China. The other one was that they would not surrender, fight, and from the perspective of China's navy in the Pacific Ocean, if the Mi Nation did not send a large number of troops over, they might not be able to beat them.
No matter what the final outcome of these two events was, there was a high chance that the entire country would be trampled by Hua Xia and hand over the throne of the world's hegemon.
"Mr. President, why should we pay for what we have not done?" Joseph asked.
"Huh?" The President looked at Joseph in surprise.
"The crash had nothing to do with anyone here. This could be a misunderstanding, or it could be a conspiracy of another country, we are innocent, we are also victims, and since we are victims, we cannot just sit by and watch China's navy unscrupulously sail across our seas. Thinking about it, 100 years ago, it was all our navy that went to other countries' seas, and what about now? As a soldier, I feel, no matter what, as long as we have a clear conscience, we should be tough, there should be no retreat. Other than the two results I mentioned before, there is still the other one, the third result, that is, we must be tough with the Chinese government, even if they want to start a war, we must not have any retreat, once we win the war, then we can effectively attack the Chinese government's prestige! This time, China may become the new hegemon, but at the same time, it can also help us consolidate our position as the hegemon. As long as we can withstand the pressure from China's government, we will continue to become the hegemon of the world. Joseph said excitedly.
The government of Mi had been suppressing them for a long time. Ever since the rise of China, they could only watch helplessly as they were overtaken by China in every aspect. Not to mention the recent evaluation system, China had already surpassed the country of Mi for a long time, and now, the government of Mi had finally gotten some results. As a result, during the first demonstration, there was a major accident that caused the entire project to fall apart.
Sooner or later, China will replace China as the new hegemon of the world, and with this incident, if they really can defeat China in a tough way, then they will be able to wipe out the decadence of the country in the last few decades. This is beneficial for the country's government, as well as for the country as a whole.
"Mr. President, I suggest that we send an additional fleet to the sea area and prepare all the fleets. At the same time, our intercontinental guide should be on standby!" A general suggested.
"I also agree that we have done nothing wrong, so why should we take responsibility for it? This incident was an accident, and is most likely an enemy conspiracy. We should not tolerate it, nor should we retreat. Another general said.
"General Joseph, what do you think?" the President asked Joseph.
"My views are the same as all other generals, send troops to the sea area to be on standby. At the same time, we also want to show our attitude, we want to let the Chinese government know that we are very regretful about the crash and will investigate it thoroughly, but, if they want to use this incident to attack us, we will definitely welcome them with the most heroic attitude!" Joseph said, clenching his fist.
"Good, then that's it!" The President nodded, "Pass down my order, send three additional aircraft carriers to sea! "In addition, call the leaders of China to express our position!"
"Yes sir!"
At this time, only an hour had passed since the crash.
The wind on the sea was howling and the rain was pouring heavily.
The fragments of the plane and its wreckage had long since scattered in all directions.
There was no sign of anyone on the surface of the sea, because many entities had been blown to dust when the aircraft exploded.
At the same time, no one found Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping seemed to have evaporated like everyone else in the world.
The news of the plane crash was sent back to China in the end.
It was currently midnight in China.
When the news reached China, there was an uproar throughout China.
China, Jiang Yuan University, Defense Department.
Inside the Defense Department, Chen Wen and the others were gathered together, playing cards.
At this time, those who were out on patrol had already left. The remaining few who were on night shift in the guardhouse could only play cards to prevent them from falling asleep to relieve their boredom.
The TV on the wall was on, and on it were some boring programs.
Suddenly, the screen on the television flickered and a news broadcast room appeared.
The host sat in the broadcast room and said seriously, "The news broke that the richest man in China, Xu Taiping, the president of China's martial arts association, suddenly exploded in the sky in the country of Mi. Mr. Xu Taiping's fate is unknown …"
The moment this news was released, all the security guards who were playing cards suddenly looked towards the television.
"Am I hearing things?" a security guard asked.
"No, I didn't hear wrong." Chen Wen shook his head as he stared intently at the television set.
On the television, the scene changed to an official.
"We will hold a special briefing at seven in the morning. During that time, I hope you don't spread rumors or believe me."
