Chapter 433 First, unify thought and culture
"These Koreans... have they been kicked in the head by a donkey?!" A young staff officer couldn't help but curse.
That curse was like flipping a switch.
"Did I hear that right? Ethnic unification? They don't even deserve it!"
"Tanjun Fusu? Why don't they just say that they created the universe?"
"This shamelessness is so great that even the scales of the Yamata no Orochi would have to admit defeat!"
"Same ancestry and origin? Bah! They should take a look at what's written on their own ancestors' memorial tablets!"
The command center erupted in chaos; everyone was both amused and exasperated by this absurd move.
"Show me the online reactions." Commander Qi rubbed her temples, feeling that the amount of information she had received today was truly overwhelming.
On the big screen, the global internet hotspot instantly changed from "Orochi was instantly killed" to "South Korea proposes national unification".
The entire internet turned into a sea of joy.
First, there was the internet in South Korea.
[Waaaaah, this is great! We're finally going to be back in the big family!]
[The progenitor Dangun did not abandon us after all! He and the immortals of China are one family!]
[From now on, we're a nation protected by immortals! No, we're part of an immortal kingdom!]
[From now on, can we be considered domestic candidates for admissions to Huaxia Kunlun Academy? That would be fantastic!]
[Support the merger! We're blood relatives, we're brothers!]
[That's right, that's right! So, the immortals of China are also our immortals!]
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched as he looked at these fanatical comments.
"They...are quite engrossed."
Then the scene shifts to the Chinese internet, and the style of the bullet comments is summed up in one word: fun.
【？？？？？？】
[I just finished a bowl of instant noodles, and this is what you show me?]
[Sold sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water in the front row. Everyone, take your seats and get ready for the annual spectacle.]
【Hey buddy, who are you? Coming in like we're related? Are we even acquainted?】
[Hilarious! Orochi was killed, Japan surrendered, and the country that was most vulnerable was South Korea?]
[Now it makes sense! Japan has become a vassal state, and seeing that he has no chance to be a dog, he simply wants to go straight to being the father?]
[Upstairs, your perspective is too narrow; he wants to be an emperor emeritus!]
Switching to the international network only leads to more chaos.
An American netizen commented: 【WTF? Merge? Are they serious? Did I miss a chapter?】
A netizen from Grizzly Bear Country commented: "Did you drink too much vodka? I suggest soaking your head in ice water."
A Pakistani netizen commented: "[...Can we swear? No? Then we have nothing more to say.]"
Netizens around the world watched as if they were watching an absurd comedy, with all sorts of photoshopped images and jokes flying around, and the popularity even surpassing the earth-shattering battle just now.
"Sir, the whole world considers this a joke," the intelligence officer concluded, suppressing a laugh.
"This is not a joke."
Sun Jiuchou looked around and slowly asked, "What do you do when you've lost all your chips at the poker table and don't want to leave?"
"Flip the table?" a young staff officer answered instinctively.
“No.” Sun Jiuchou shook his head: “Flipping the table requires strength. If you don’t have the strength, you will only be beaten worse.”
"Then what should we do?" Chen Jianguo pressed.
Sun Jiuchou smiled and said, word by word, "You just cling to the Zhuang family's leg, crying and shouting, 'Father, I'm your long-lost son!'"
"puff……"
The entire command center erupted in laughter once again.
This metaphor is so vivid.
“They are using an almost shameless method to engage in political opportunism against us.” Sun Jiuchou’s smile vanished, and his eyes sharpened: “They are betting that we won’t have the nerve to argue with a country that has ‘recognized a relative’ in front of the whole world.”
“If we hesitate even slightly, or if our reaction is not strong enough, they can throw mud at us and make the concept of ‘same ancestry’ into an established fact, thereby securing a special position for themselves in the new world order.”
"These guys... their hearts are so dirty!" Chen Jianguo cursed.
“They’ve been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to break free from the control of the US and find a new backer.” Sun Jiuchou pointed to the screen: “The appearance of the Orochi and our intervention are that opportunity.”
"They saw that the old order had collapsed and a new order was being established. They wanted to be the first to lie down in before the cement was dry and leave their mark."
After listening to Sun Jiuchou's analysis, the laughter in the command center gradually subsided, replaced by a solemn atmosphere mixed with nausea and vigilance.
Yes, you can't deal with scoundrels using gentlemanly methods.
You can insult him, but he doesn't care.
If you hit him, you'll only be putting yourself at a disadvantage and fulfill his wish.
Just then.
"Report!"
A new intelligence officer strode in, his expression even stranger than the previous one.
"South Korea has made another move!"
"They announced... that a 'Global Live Broadcast Ceremony of the Descent of the Ancestor Dangun' will be held in their capital's square in 24 hours!"
Chen Jianguo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "What the hell? A miracle? And it's being broadcast live globally?"
“Yes!” The intelligence officer nodded, his tone utterly absurd: “They claim to have made contact with the soon-to-be-resurrected Dangun through ancient ritual methods. At that time, Dangun’s will will descend upon the scene, demonstrating a miracle to the world to prove their claims!”
"They... also extended a formal diplomatic invitation to us, hoping that we could send an 'immortal of equal rank' to attend the ceremony, participate in the grand event, and witness this historic moment of blood ties together."
"..."
Inside the command center, you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned by this combo.
First they create hype in the media, then they directly organize offline events and even want you to be a guest?
This isn't just being shameless; this is acting, and they're dragging you into it, putting on a show in front of a global audience.
If you go, it's tantamount to acknowledging their "equal" status.
If you don't go, they can say you're "guilty" and "afraid to face history."
"I...I've never seen such a shameless person in my life!" Chen Jianguo was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at the screen and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"That's interesting."
Chief Zhang, who had been sitting quietly in the main seat watching this farce, finally spoke. He stood up, walked to the holographic screen, and looked at the impassioned face of the South Korean spokesperson.
"They've already set up the ladder, just waiting for us to climb up, or... waiting for us to kick the ladder down so they can lie down on the spot and start throwing a tantrum."
All eyes were focused on Chief Zhang's retreating figure, awaiting his final decision.
Commander Zhang turned around, a playful smile on his face.
He looked at Chen Jianguo.
"Jianguo, notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
“Reply to them.”
"For example, the Chinese side is deeply gratified that our brotherly neighbor is about to welcome back our ancestor, and wishes the ceremony a complete success."
Chen Jianguo was taken aback: "Huh? Commander, are we really going to have to accept this?"
"Don't rush." Chief Zhang waved his hand, his smile widening.
"Add one more sentence."
"We will send Elder Lu Changfeng, the principal of Kunlun Academy and chief professor of Ideological and Moral Education, as a special envoy to attend the ceremony with a small gift."
"A small gift?"
“Yes.” Chief Zhang nodded, his gaze sweeping over Sun Jiuchou: “We will send you a set of the latest edition of ‘The History of Five Thousand Years of China’ and a deluxe edition of ‘The New Era’s Cultural and Legal Basis’.”
"I mean... since we're going to reunite as one family, our thoughts and culture must be unified first."
