A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 815 The magnanimity of a great nation, bang bang bang bang!

When that resounding bang, symbolizing the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, was confirmed as an undeniable fact through special channels, a deathly silence instantly fell over a neighbor's high-rise conference room, followed by an uncontrollable panic.

They enjoyed "special treatment"!

This "young lady" appeared out of nowhere, and the first "honor" to be officially notified fell on their heads! This "favor" was something that even the two poles of the world at that time, the huge alliance and the distant Allied Powers, were not yet qualified to enjoy!

"Don't...don't be afraid! If even our eldest father hasn't confirmed it, then...let's just treat it as a hoax for now!"

A politician who had escaped trial tried to remain calm, pushing his subordinates toward the door while subconsciously moving toward the underground shelter that the "little boy" had specially built after visiting.

In his panic, he grabbed the lead civil official's sleeve: "You! It's you! Didn't you say last time that you had a pretty good relationship with them? Quick... quick, make a call and ask!"

"Eh? His Majesty... In order to show your concern for this matter, why don't you issue a decree?"

At that moment, a brave man in a pond looked on with envy at something called Desire Shrimp, quickly stripped off his clothes, and crawled naked into a specially made protective suit.

Then, that thing ignored him completely and disappeared into the depths of the palace.

"...Wild deer, they're dying, they're dying..."

The brave man in the pond quietly grumbled and rolled out of the palace.

Well, even though the government is nominally practicing constitutional democracy, the influence of the "shrimp of desire" in their political circles is still enormous, so it's perfectly normal for the brave man in the pond to be asking him for instructions.

However, Yuto still subtly stabbed this national symbol who was always in the spotlight. After all, anyone with eyes could see that this guy had a big appetite, but unfortunately, he had no sense of responsibility.

After returning to his residence in Nagata-cho, Yuto Ike hesitated for a long time before finally steeling himself and making the call.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" It was as if one could hear the comforting laughter coming from across the strait, "See, we told you right away, didn't we? Great nations are magnanimous and treat each other with sincerity!"

But how could the people on the other side still stand firm? Hearing the person on the other side confirm the news, some of them immediately went weak in the knees.

There are so many words that can follow the phrase "a great nation has a magnanimous spirit."

Deeply influenced by our culture, Chi Yongren immediately added words to the phrase: "Great magnanimity, bang bang bang bang" or "Great magnanimity, boom boom boom" and so on.

Immediately following, a letter, seemingly mild in its wording but carrying immense weight, was delivered through diplomatic channels. Our kind and gentle elder personally reviewed the contents of the letter.

"Our country's test this time is not for showing off, but for self-defense. We have never forgotten your country's actions in the past. Now that we have this 'protective weapon,' we will not provoke any further conflict. We only ask that your country behave itself and refrain from any more unjust acts; and do not attempt to imitate us. If you secretly build nuclear weapons, our country will certainly respond. If you are well, then all is well; if you act rashly, we have the confidence to deal with you."

"Hehe... every word is precious." Yuto Ike smiled wryly. "Everyone should carefully understand it, so as not to misunderstand its deeper meaning."

"What's so hard to understand? We're still using other people's language!" A young official, encouraged by his colleagues, picked up the letter and loudly began to read it aloud:

"Well, what they said was: We developed these meager means of self-defense out of sheer desperation. It's all for self-defense, nothing more. Please don't overthink it, and don't be afraid."

"As for what we have never forgotten, it should be translated as: However, there is something you must always keep in mind—our brothers and sisters here have written down every single detail of the blood and tears in your family. History cannot be forgotten."

After finishing the translation, the young man looked up at the important figures around him. The figures had different expressions, and one of them even clapped at him through gritted teeth: "Very good translation, now let someone else take a look!"

"Kaka, what's next? Let me tell you all at once!"

The young man, with a deft gesture, jumped onto the large desk in the official residence, raised his head, and continued translating loudly.

"Justice! Baka! That's incredibly rude! Watch your behavior!"

Someone hurriedly shouted to stop them, but looking into the young man's eyes and remembering their glorious tradition of subjugating superiors, they couldn't help but shudder and could only shut their mouths and squeeze into the crowd.

Ha, Zha Gu!

The young man's ego swelled dramatically, and he actually pulled out a small red-covered booklet from his chest, held it high, and continued to loudly translate:

"Also, let me give you a friendly reminder. Although your 'father' did reward you with some nice things, please don't try to get one for yourself to display at home. Otherwise, things will look bad."

For our mutual peace and tranquility, I assure you, we will not use this thing unless you already have it at home. But if you insist on having it…

"Well, in that case, I'm afraid we'll have to ask our 'young lady' to visit you first. After all... our 'young lady' has a bit of a temper and can't stand seeing other people with similar 'toys'."

Damn it, who are you trying to bully?!

Why can't my family have it just because yours does?

If I weren't outmatched, I...

I'll kowtow to you a few times, okay?

To us, this letter presents facts and reason, full of restraint and goodwill. But in the eyes of some, it is nothing short of a blatant, morally reprehensible display of arrogance!

The feeling is like a friendly neighbor suddenly patting you on the shoulder with a smile and saying, "Look, I bought a hunting rifle that can kill a tiger. But I was forced to buy it by wild boars in the mountains, so don't be afraid! But remember, you injured my family before. Also, don't go and buy a gun yourself. If you do, I'll have to use this gun to make sure you don't hurt anyone else. Anyway, as long as you don't have a gun, I promise I won't shoot you."

His gentle tone concealed an iron will and the most straightforward logic.

Some people finally realized that the giant they had once bullied had not only stood up, but also held the power to stabilize the world.

A brand new era has unstoppably begun amidst the sound of firecrackers and the cold sweat of some.

……

In contrast to its eastern neighbor who enjoyed "special treatment," other major countries in the world have also received formal notifications through diplomatic channels.

Thanks to the encrypted communication network that Jiangxia had spearheaded and which is still being improved, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs became one of the first major Western powers to receive detailed notifications.

This "first come, first served" seems to suggest some subtle connection.

As one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, France, like China, was a "latecomer" that only mastered nuclear technology on its own in the 1960s. We share a strange sense of "shared fate" with France.

We have both been subjected to strategic pressure from two superpowers, and we are both committed to pursuing independent defense and foreign policies, unwilling to be completely subservient to any bloc.

Therefore, during the emergency assessment inside the Élysée Palace, a complex emotion permeated the atmosphere: surprise, a sense of understanding that "we are not alone," and even a hint of barely perceptible admiration.

“They took a path that was just as difficult as ours, but one that was much purer,” sighed one of the last men of the Gallic roosters.

"It's more than just similar! We're being suppressed by the bald eagle, and it's difficult for us to even gain a voice in NATO; they're being watched by the alliance and haven't even received any technical support, but in the end, didn't they all succeed on their own? The alliance used to always say, 'China is a little brother that needs guidance,' but now..."

"We must face reality. From today onward, the balance of power in the Far East has fundamentally changed. A country with nuclear weapons is no longer an object that can be easily ignored or pressured. We must engage with it as an equal, as a true great power."

This assessment quickly became a consensus among its decision-makers. The sudden emergence of the young lady forced France, and indeed the whole of Europe, to truly place us in a strategic position where we must engage in dialogue on an equal footing.

Compared to the complex mindset of the French, who saw their country as both competitors and fellow sufferers, the Northern League's reaction was more conflicted and contradictory.

A subtle apprehension—a desire for the brothers to live well while simultaneously worrying that they might run away too quickly—made the alliance's congratulatory message, beneath its enthusiastic official rhetoric, carry a hint of hesitant caution.

As for the bald eagle...

"Hey... don't worry! Even though they have testicles, they don't have a launch platform! Relax! Relax!"

Uh, what if some innocent little rabbits in the audience called him the strongest prophet?
