Anbei carefully pondered Lao Deng's words.

What's the meaning?

After saying all that, you just don't want to care!

Anbei was so angry he wanted to curse. "I have plenty of money. Do I need your weapons and ammunition?"

All I wanted to do was use your influence to intimidate them, right? You're just doing useless things!

Of course, he couldn't say that out loud. Anbei chuckled and said, "Brother, you're the one who told me to handle the polluted water this way. Now that something's happened, you can't just stand by and do nothing, can you?"

"What are you saying? How could I not care? Look at the international community. I shut down the media. The people of Europe and America don't even know about this. Your Japanese image hasn't been affected at all. Even though those few dogs from Great Xia are barking, who dares to do anything to you? Isn't that because of my influence?"

Old Deng's words left Anbei speechless.

That's true, but damn it, this isn't about public opinion anymore, it's about fighting with bayonets!

“Brother, you should know the current situation. If this war really breaks out, the world will collapse. If anything happens to Japan, the influence of your United States will also decline sharply! This is not in your hegemonic interests and will only accelerate your decline! How about this, let’s just stop the water pollution issue for now and back down?” Anbei suggested.

Although burying the contaminated water on-site would cost a huge amount of money and cause great losses, it is still better than war, since there are no winners in war.

However, this suggestion was immediately rejected by Lao Deng. "No way! Over the years, we have tried to suppress Great Xia from all sides and prevent its rise, but to no avail. We can only use biological methods! This is the general direction, and it cannot be changed!"

The United States has been suppressing Great Britain and has adopted a containment strategy, but the results have not been good in recent years.

Firstly, the diplomacy of the Great Xia is truly impressive. They do not have the mindset of great power hegemony and handle relations with neighboring countries very well, leaving the United States with very few opportunities to take advantage of them.

Seeing that other countries' high-speed rail is running faster and faster, their economic achievements are growing, and their international influence is increasing, it has already touched the bottom line of the United States, and has even reached the point of no return!

Biological warfare is a major strategy for the United States in its future great power rivalry. Like the previous pneumonia virus and this water contamination, these are all premeditated. In fact, World War III has already begun.

The US simply hadn't anticipated that Great Xia would be so abnormal, managing to overcome such a severe virus. The obedience of its people was so extreme it made them look like idiots. Left with no other option, they implemented the water pollution plan.

However, this plan is quite lengthy, with the fatal impact expected to materialize thirty years after the sewage discharge. Nevertheless, the United States is already planning to leverage the situation in other regions next year to draw Great Xia into a localized war, thus sustaining its decline. Great Xia's rise will inevitably be hindered.

Therefore, polluting water is absolutely the most crucial step, and it must not be stopped!

Under pressure from Anbei, Lao Deng finally relented, "Let me discuss it with Laxi and the others!"

After hanging up the phone, Old Lamp returned to Parliament.

As I get older, my mind isn't working as well. I sat there blankly for a long time, feeling a bit confused. Who am I? Where am I?

Fortunately, an assistant reminded him, and Lao Deng then remembered his conversation with An Bei.

Everyone agreed that East Asia must not be allowed to suffer any mishaps!

How can we get Longfeng Pavilion to stop?

Lashili proposed a solution: threaten the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion headquarters that even if war were to break out, the battlefield should be controlled in the Middle East! Once the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion is preoccupied with its own problems, will it have the energy to deal with the water pollution?

That's a good idea!

After discussion, the plan was arranged. First, orders were issued to the two aircraft carrier fleets to enter the bay and intimidate the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion!

With the cannons set up at our doorstep, do you think Longfeng Pavilion would dare to cause trouble outside?

The second step was to have the Stone Kingdom garrison troops at the border with the Dragon and Phoenix Kingdom, forming an entire army group. Aircraft were frequently taking off, giving the impression that a major battle was imminent. This show of force was naturally intended as a warning to the Dragon and Phoenix Kingdom.

At the Longfeng Kingdom military base, Long Jiu was furious at the planes flying overhead. He really wanted to lead his men out to fight and confront this little tyrant of the Middle East. But he knew that Stone Country was an extension of the United States. He wasn't afraid to attack Stone Country, but if the United States got involved, the consequences would be too great. He had to consult Lin Yu.

Meanwhile, in the Great Xia Dynasty, Feng Jiu had returned and was reporting to Lin Yu.

At that moment, Long Jiu called Feng Jiu, and Feng Jiu immediately reported the news to Lin Yu.

“Young Marshal, most of the changes in the Middle East are related to the polluted water. It seems that the United States is indeed behind the polluted water! They're no longer pretending and have laid their cards on the table!” Feng Jiu said with a grim expression.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; the United States' actions were within his expectations.

"Do you think Old Mi is trying to scare us, or does he really want to fight?" Lin Yu asked Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I think it should be a scare tactic to protect the water pollution plan!"

"But it's also possible that they really want to fight. After all, there's already war in the Middle East, and the US was just stirring up trouble in Iraq not long ago. Maybe they want to take us down with them this time!" Feng Jiu couldn't help but speculate.

Lin Yu nodded and sneered, "You're right. Two tigers cannot share one mountain. If the United States wants to control the entire Middle East through the United States, it will never allow a second hegemon to emerge. Maybe this time, they really want to eliminate us as well!"

bell!

Just then, a rapid ringing sound rang out.

Feng Jiu's expression changed, "It's Senior Brother Long Yi!"

Pressing the answer button, Long Yi's serious voice rang out, "Sect Leader, the United States just proposed at the United Nations meeting to designate our Dragon Phoenix Kingdom as a terrorist organization and initiate a vote to sanction us. Although Great Xia and Xiong Kingdom vetoed it, the United States has organized the North Japan Conference and has gained the support of all member states. A great war is imminent. Please prepare in advance!"

After hanging up the phone, Feng Jiu's face turned grim. "Young Marshal, it seems Old Mi is serious this time!"

Lin Yu showed no sign of panic, but simply narrowed his eyes and asked, "If this battle really breaks out, what are the chances of our Dragon Phoenix Pavilion winning?"

Feng Jiu frowned and analyzed, "Although our Dragon Phoenix Kingdom is quite powerful, possessing aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons, its strategic depth is too small. Even with secret weapons like nuclear submarines, it's impossible to inflict a devastating blow on the US mainland. Furthermore, nuclear weapons are a taboo subject, with far-reaching consequences, and cannot be used lightly... In short, if we really have to fight to the death, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion can only preserve its core territory and temporarily retreat from the martial world. However, it won't be easy for it to establish a nation again in the future!"

“Unless…” Feng Jiu thought of something, and her eyes lit up slightly again.

Lin Yu frowned: "Unless what?"

Feng Jiu's eyes flickered as she said, "Unless the Great Xia and the Xiong Kingdom unite to support us, there is still a chance to turn the tide in this battle!"
