Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is a bunch of scoundrels, just like the honey badger in the animal kingdom—this is a consensus reached by the international community.
Even a superpower like the United States wouldn't want to mess with this scoundrel!
The main reason is that the United States has too many plans and cannot devote enough energy to dealing with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
On the other hand, the situation in the Middle East is very tense, and a single move could have far-reaching consequences. As a new force in the Middle East, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion could easily disrupt the balance, leading to a chaotic and uncontrollable situation, which is not in the interests of the United States.
More importantly, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion itself is simply too powerful. It has an aircraft carrier and the Ivan the Great. Who would dare to touch it?
Even the Stone Kingdom, which is known as the little tyrant of the Middle East, is unwilling to easily provoke the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
Especially recently, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has declared itself a nation, and the region where it is located identifies itself as the Dragon and Phoenix Kingdom. It is an independent sovereign state with trade relations with multiple countries, and cannot be treated arbitrarily like other organizations.
Furthermore, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion has a considerable network of connections within the United Nations, including influential figures like Long Yi. Although it cannot wield the absolute power of a member state, it is not to be underestimated, as the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's network has penetrated into various top-tier ethnic groups around the world over the past two or three decades.
Even among some elite groups, internal unity is not absolute, which creates room for manipulation by the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. While they may not be able to control the US Congress and government like the Stone Man, they can still wield considerable influence internationally.
This is also the fundamental reason why the United States is wary of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion!
Of course, this is an extremely confidential matter, known only to a few of the world's top families, while Japan and its younger siblings are completely unaware of it.
Therefore, at this moment, the Japanese Cabinet is engaged in a heated debate among its high-ranking officials regarding this matter.
Japan is a developed country with considerable military strength; its navy could even rank among the top five in the world! Moreover, some right-wing elements are extremely radical, and their extreme military ideologies have persisted from the last century to the present.
For them, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's provocation and warning to Tianhuang were undoubtedly a great humiliation.
Their motto was simple—fight!
"Our Japanese islands are not Makka Pakka Island!"
"Our ship photos are just as good as those of aircraft carriers!"
"We Japanese have plenty of money; we can afford to fight!"
"Let's just destroy the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and plunder all the resources of the Dragon Phoenix Kingdom!"
The right-hand men shouted wildly, their passion surging, as if they were about to go to war themselves.
However, most of the lawmakers remained calm and did not follow suit, but instead looked at the leader, Anbei Biesan, sitting at the head of the table.
Anbei was also born into a military family and had a very strong attitude towards the Great Xia. He had a warlike gene in his bones, but as the leader, he had to consider the overall situation.
"National security is threatened, and Tianhuang's dignity has been insulted. I understand how you all feel!"
He looked up and glanced at the crowd, then shook his head and sighed, "But the survival of the nation and its future development cannot be decided by emotions; we must seek the well-being of our descendants!"
"Now is not a good time to start a war with Japan, because our country is undergoing a great change that is unprecedented in the last hundred years! If we move forward, the fate of our country will continue; if we retreat, it may be utterly destroyed!"
"The most urgent and important task is to carry out the country-changing plan to the end! We have spent decades establishing sister city relationships with various cities in Great Xia, maintaining good relations, and infiltrating them with our spies and culture. We have even built schools and nursing homes. Some have been completely assimilated, and Great Xia has no way to stop us. In a few more generations, this plan will begin to show results! If we start a war now and reveal our true colors, Great Xia will definitely be wary of us and take strict precautions against us. All our previous efforts will be in vain!"
"Furthermore, we have already acquired a third of the land in our second homeland, the Kingdom of Ba. But you must understand that we do not have sovereignty over this land. Before we have a firm foothold, the Kingdom of Ba can take it back! Therefore, we must maintain peace and friendship, so that they will lower their guard, and only then can we complete the plan of an ant swallowing an elephant, just as the stone swallowed Canaan!"
"In conclusion, for whatever reason, we cannot go to war with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion!" Anbei finally stated his opinion.
Everyone fell silent, even the radicals began to consider Anbei's words.
Upon careful consideration, it becomes clear that the head of state, as expected, does have some merit in his words.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let them provoke us? What if they actually come to our door?" a councilor asked loudly.
Anbei pinched his brow. "Stop arguing, let me think about it!"
After a moment of silence, he said, "How about this, I'll call Old Deng first and talk to Uncle Mi. No matter what, they've stationed troops here, so if there's going to be a war, they won't be able to escape responsibility!"
After careful consideration, Anbei decided to discuss it with Mi Die.
Afterwards, Anbei went to his office and called Lao Deng.
With the intelligence capabilities of the United States, they naturally knew about this long ago.
What Anbei didn't know was that the top U.S. officials were also discussing this matter intensively at that moment.
Japan is the United States' forward base and most important link in East Asia, much like the United States plays in the Middle East. If something happens to Japan, it will affect the situation of the United States in East Asia, and the United States cannot ignore it.
However, the Middle East and the United States are already engulfed in war. If something happens to Japan, things will really get out of control, and the United States will be overwhelmed.
Furthermore, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is not the Great Xia. That guy is really daring. There is no so-called principle of not striking first, no need to maintain the so-called image of a great power, and no need to fulfill any promises of not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries or not being the first to use nuclear weapons.
To put it bluntly, this guy is a damn thug, a troublemaker, and there's nothing you can do about him!
If the situation in the Middle East and the United States were still stable, the US would naturally not be afraid of the small D.C. (Longfeng Pavilion). It could send its entire aircraft carrier fleet there and the D.C. would be finished. But now it's not possible. The situation is beyond its control. In recent years, the US has been raising interest rates and stirring up trouble. Others are not stupid. The influence of the world police is not what it used to be. Faced with the D.C. (Longfeng Pavilion), this troublemaker, the US is like a leopard encountering a porcupine covered in quills, not knowing how to bite it.
"Xiao An, I already know about your situation. Don't worry, you've been following your brother for so many years, it's impossible for him to abandon you! But I think the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion is just bluffing you this time, they won't really do it! Besides, I'll provide you with weapons and ammunition, so you don't need to be afraid of them if it really comes to a fight!"
After thinking it over, Lao Deng finally gave this answer, which was also the result of the high-level meeting just now.
