Ross, Red Square Fortress, Moscow.
Russian Prime Minister Medvedev angrily tore the document in his hand to pieces.
"I want a reasonable explanation from them! Not this kind of diplomatic rhetoric that has no substance!"
“Mr. Prime Minister, our cooperation with the United States is based on a very fragile foundation,” Defense Secretary Khrushchev said. “So their attitude should be within our expectations.”
“I am very disappointed in them.” Prime Minister Medvedev leaned back in his leather chair. “I hope they will abide by the cooperation agreement, otherwise the final result will be something that neither you nor I, nor all of humanity, can bear.”
“Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, we are the weaker party in this cooperation; ‘it’ is merely a passive defensive measure on our part.” Khrushchev glanced at the date on his watch and continued, “There is still a month until ‘Final Judgment Day,’ and everything will be decided then.”
“As long as they abide by the agreement, ‘it’ won’t be activated, and nothing will happen, as if it never existed.” Medvedev snapped out of his reverie and asked, “How are our preparations for accepting ‘world refugees’ going?”
“Our human survival sites in the Far East are under construction,” the Home Secretary replied.
"What's the progress?" Prime Minister Medvedev's eyes were fixed on the Home Secretary.
"Well..." The Minister of the Interior took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "We don't have enough resources, so..."
"Alright, I don't want to hear anymore!" Prime Minister Medvedev stood up and solemnly addressed everyone present, "I hope you can all understand that after the 'Final Judgment Day,' Earth will be a bipolar world led by Miro!"
"In the competition with the United States, Red Ross cannot afford to lose at the starting line again!"

The Presidential Sanctuary in the United States.
“Mr. President, this is the second protest letter we’ve received,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.
"No need to show it to me, just hand it over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." President Tekopf pushed the protest letter back without even looking at it.
“Mr. President, based on the information we have, Ivanka should be in orbit on her way to the Soyuz space station at this moment.”
"That's fine too. We no longer have the ability to bring her back. It's good that she's going to Mars. At least she won't be lonely in the future..." President Tekopf's eyes dimmed.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. President, we're all so sorry."
“There’s nothing to apologize for. Ivanka has completed her ‘final mission,’ and done it very well.” President Tekopf regained his aggressive tone. “How are our preparations going?”
“Everything is proceeding according to plan, Mr. President,” Secretary of Defense Mike said. “With one month to go until Judgment Day, our people have been deployed to human survival sites around the world.”
"The survivor sites in Texas and Arizona have been expanded, and expansion work in the remaining 48 states is also in the planning stages, but we lack the manpower and resources," the Secretary of the Interior reported. "To be frank, Mr. President, most of the expansion projects are still on paper, and we are not ready to receive refugees from all over the world in the short term."
"It's alright. We need to make plans first, even if it's just on paper. We must prepare for 'Final Judgment Day.'" President Tucker stood up, clenching his fist. "Colleagues! We must be fully prepared to make America great again!"

Mars, orbit of the Soyuz space station.

The Vulcan spacecraft successfully docked with the Soyuz space station again and continued its flight as a combined module.
Click—
The Apollo spacecraft disconnected from the Vulcan probe and began flying as an independent entity.
"Sister, I'm so happy!" Ishihara Yui sat in the landing module of the Apollo spacecraft, dancing with excitement.
Katerina is sexy and beautiful, exuding a feminine aura that fills the air around her, and inspiring every man who sees her with an urge to possess and conquer her.
However, the first impression Ivanka gives is that she is a princess who should live in a royal castle. Her aristocratic elegance would make most men feel inferior and dare not approach her, only daring to admire her beauty from afar.
"Are you happy to see me, or are you happy to see someone you like?" Ivanka asked with a smile.
"Sister, you're so annoying!" Yui, her face flushed, turned away from her sister, her secret exposed.
"Sit still."
The Apollo spacecraft began to decelerate as it entered the Martian atmosphere.
One hour later, Apollo reached an altitude of about 282 kilometers above the Martian surface, deorbited, flipped its fuselage, and ignited its engines to generate drag in the opposite direction of flight, slowing its descent during reentry into the Martian atmosphere.
Thirty minutes later, Apollo entered the atmosphere at an altitude of about 122 kilometers above the ground and shut down its engines.
At this point, Apollo was like a glider, undergoing four sharp tilts and 80-degree turns during its descent, veering to one side and then to the other. This swaying caused the spacecraft to land in a long S-shape, the purpose of which was to slow down its flight speed.
Despite taking deceleration measures, the spacecraft still exceeded the speed of sound when passing through the atmosphere.
Five minutes before landing, the Apollo spacecraft began to significantly raise its nose to slow its descent.
In the final minute, the Apollo spacecraft hovered vertically upwards, 100 meters above the Martian surface. After adjusting its landing site, the spacecraft began its slow descent.
The landing gear deployed, the boosters shut down, and the Apollo spacecraft landed safely on the Martian surface.
Zhang Fan had been waiting near the landing site in his Firefly car for a while. Once the Apollo spacecraft landed and came to a stop, he immediately drove over.
Although Zhang Fan was in a good mood about seeing Yui, he was also very nervous while driving.
The source of the fright was mainly the passenger seat.
"Katerina, can you calm down?"
"Am I not calm enough? I haven't said a word."
"You're not saying anything, but why are you licking the knife?" Zhang Fan was sweating profusely. He shouldn't have brought Katerina along, but he couldn't argue with her.
"I like the coolness of the knife, can it let my tongue calm down a bit?"
"Fine, fine! You can do whatever you want!" Zhang Fan said, frowning. "Just don't stab the other person with the knife later! You promised me."
"Don't worry, how could I bear to use a knife?" Katerina chuckled. "No one wants her to live a long and healthy life more than I do."
well.
Zhang Fan sighed. He shouldn't have brought Katerina today. If she hadn't promised not to hurt him, Zhang Fan wouldn't have dared to let these two nemesis meet on their first day together.
Zhang Fan didn't want to get involved in their business. He was mainly worried that Katerina might go too far and scare Yui, who was standing next to her.
The Apollo spacecraft is almost here, and the two strange couples on Mars, one male and one female, who are in a love-hate relationship, are about to meet.
