"The higher-ups gave me a big surprise?"
Hearing Zhao Rulong's words, Ye Yi looked at him curiously.
Zhao Rulong smiled and nodded. He did not hide anything and directly told Ye Yi,
"Actually, the day before yesterday, when the space-based cannon successfully took off and completed its deployment, Elder Tang told me that he wanted to give you a little reward.”
"I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. Before I could react, Ah San and South Yue joined forces with the White Eagle Kingdom and started to cause trouble.”
"Now, you've made another great contribution."
"Because of you, we were able to achieve the glorious battle record of repelling Ah San and South Yue without any casualties.”
"You can even say that, Lil 'Yi, not only did you protect the country today, you saved countless families!”
Zhao Rulong said this with a sincere tone of gratitude.
As a general with real power, Zhao Rulong was also someone who had experienced war.
He knew the cruelty of war better than anyone else.
A'san had been developing rapidly over the years, and his military strength could not be underestimated.
Hundreds of state-of-the-art tanks could be called a flood of steel.
If they really fought head-on, even if the Dragon Country army could win, it would definitely not be such a perfect victory.
A soldier was also a mother's child, a wife's husband, and a child's father. They represented a family.
Ye Yi's contribution was not as simple as developing the Space-based Cannon.
Zhao Rulong voiced his thoughts.
"I conservatively estimate that you will at least be promoted to general rank.”
"First-class merit is definitely not going to escape. As for the rest, it will need to be discussed by the higher-ups.”
"However, considering the confidentiality of the space-based weapons and the projects you are researching, I estimate that your identity will most likely not be made public. At most, it will be reported internally.”
"After all, if your identity is exposed, it will bring great risks to your family and yourself.”
Ye Yi listened to Zhao Rulong's analysis and said frankly,"
"I'm not too interested in military ranks or rewards.”
"With my family's environment, I'm not lacking in earning some military titles for my family.”
"But speaking of this, I want to ask, if there's a title ceremony, can we get Old Li's family to come?”
Zhao Rulong looked at Ye Yi in confusion. Ye Yi briefly told Zhao Rulong about the conversation between Li Qiming and him.
After Zhao Rulong heard this, he agreed.
Li Qiming had devoted so many years of his youth to scientific research. He had even come to this military region earlier than Zhao Rulong and had been rooted here since then.
Logically, Zhao Rulong wanted to help Li Qiming.
After chatting with Zhao Rulong for a while, Ye Yi left the command center.
After all, after two shots from the Sky Cannon, both Ah San and South Yue had recognized the reality.
They even broke up the joint military exercise led by the White Eagle Kingdom, which was jointly held by the East and South.
Now, the Dragon Country had become the country with the most say in the world.
With the crisis averted, there was no need for Ye Yi to stay in the command center. Moreover, the atmosphere in the command center was so serious that Ye Yi did not like it.
After leaving the command center, Ye Yi looked at the time.
Even though the problem between Ah San and Nan Yue had been solved, only half of the working hours had passed.
Ye Yi walked towards the research institute.
At this moment, the research institute was still cold and empty. There was no one there.
Only Li Qiming, the little old man, was smoking on the balcony of the laboratory.
Seeing Ye Yi, Li Qiming put out his cigarette and asked,"
"Is it resolved?"
Ye Yi nodded and replied simply,"
"It's settled."
" Oh," Li Qiming replied.
"Then continue organizing the information."
"We'll wait for two more days. When they come back, we can start a new project.”
Li Qiming's calm and relaxed tone made it seem as if he had never treated Ah San and South Yue's trouble as a problem.
Or rather…
In fact, he had absolute trust in Ye Yi and the Space-based Cannon.
Ye Yi smiled and did not answer.
However, she walked into the research lab with Li Qiming and continued to work.
The night gradually darkened.
Ye Yi still got off work at the right time and left.
When he returned to the Ye family home, Ye Yi saw the old man sitting up straight and staring intently at the television in the living room.
At this moment, the news was reporting the battle against Ah San and South Vietnam.
"Today, Ah San and South Yue are in conflict with our country.”
"The Azeri border forces have driven hundreds of the latest Ti-90S tanks into our country's territory, violating our country's sovereignty and posing a huge threat to the people in the west.”
"In the end, they were intercepted by our army in the Karkel Gorge area, and were successfully attacked with a new type of weapon.”
"In this battle, A'san lost more than 90 tanks and a large number of casualties.”
"The South Vietnamese maritime force is composed of four 2000-ton frigates, sixteen 500-ton missile ships and several armed helicopters. They arrived at the waters near our country's White Gorge Island at noon, seriously endangering the safety of local fishermen.”
"Our army immediately intercepted the South Vietnamese naval forces nearby, and eventually sank 3 frigates and 16 missile ships.”
"Our reporters will continue to follow up on the news.”
Ye Yi stood behind the old man and watched the news on TV.
As expected, the news of the space-based weapon was still blocked and there were no reports.
Even in the report, there was no mention of what methods the Dragon Country had used to attack. It was directly brushed off.
When he noticed that the Dragon Country's military had blocked the satellite signal, Ye Yi knew that the Dragon Country did not want people to know about the existence of the space-based cannon.
There was an unspoken rule in the development of the Dragon Country's military equipment.
The weapons and equipment that could be displayed to the public were often one or more versions behind the actual technology.
Ye Yi muttered in his heart.
"If you want to rely on the sky-based cannon to harvest another wave of points, you have to make it fall behind a little first.”
"It seems that the upgrade project of the space-based cannon can also be scheduled.”
Just as Ye Yi was muttering, Ye Yuan turned his head around. Seeing Ye Yi, a rare smile could be seen on his face. His tone was also a little more cheerful, completely without that worry and dejection from this morning.
"Little brat, when did you come back? I didn't even notice.”
"Are you hungry? The food had already been prepared. Let's go and eat.”
As he spoke, the old man was about to get up, but Ye Yi quickly supported him.
The old man was especially energetic today. His movements were very light, as if he had become much younger.
Sitting beside the dining table, Ye Yuansheng still praised endlessly,"
"I really didn't expect that the current military strength of the Dragon Country would be so strong. It completely crushed Ah San and South Yue.”
"Haiya, if I was young, this battle would have taken ten days to half a month before it was decided.”
"You brat, you just happen to be in scientific research. Work hard and get some decent equipment for our country.”
"Look, that new weapon that attacked Ah San and South Vietnam directly beat them to a pulp. How powerful!”
"You should learn from the person who designed it!”
"If you can create such a powerful thing, it will be considered a great contribution to the country.”
Hearing Ye Yuansheng's praise, Ye Yi held back his laughter and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Grandpa, you're right.”
"I'll continue to work hard and create something powerful for the country.”
Ye Yuansheng looked at Ye Yi's appearance with a mouth full of promises and even thought that he was patronizing him again.
"You brat, I'm talking to you seriously.”
"Is this your attitude?"
Ye Yi held the bowl and looked at the old man with a relaxed smile."
"Grandpa, I'm serious too.”
Seeing Ye Yi's attitude, the old man sighed slightly and shook his head."
"That's true. Blame me for asking too much of you.”
"The person who can design such a powerful weapon must be an old man.”
"You're still young. Learn more and see more. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Ye Yi didn't reply after hearing what the old man said.
He picked up a piece of rib that was already boneless and placed it into the old man's bowl. He chuckled.
Although there were only two people at the dining table, the atmosphere was warm.
……
Just as Ye Yi was eating with the old man.
All the runways of the Imperial Capital International Airport were cleared.
Two rows of soldiers stood beside a running track, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Not long after, a plane flashed its signal lights and slowly descended from the sky. The wings and tail of the plane were printed with the flag of India.
Ha Zan, the leader of the three forces, quickly walked down from the plane.
The officer who greeted him had two stripes on his shoulder and four stars on his shoulder. He was a senior colonel.
"Mr. Hazan, welcome to the Dragon Country.”
"However, please wait in the airport lounge for a moment. The plane from South Vietnam is about to arrive.”
"At that time, we will arrange for you and the leader of South Yue to go to the Great Hall of Minghu to discuss the compensation for the Dragon Country.”
When the leader heard this, he squeezed out a smile and nodded.
Then, the people who were traveling with him followed him into the airport lounge.
Not long after.
A plane with the South Vietnamese flag on it slowly landed at the airport.
Nguyen Van Khai, the leader of South Vietnam, also quickly got off the plane.
The senior colonel from before welcomed him again.
Following that, he brought the leaders of the two countries, Ah San and South Yue, to the Ming Lake Great Hall in the capital.
After entering the Ming Lake Great Hall, the two of them entered a reception room.
At this moment, a kind-looking old man was sitting in the guest room. It was Elder Tang.
Mr. Tang didn't get up when he saw the two of them. He pointed at the two chairs beside the table and said with a smile,
"Please take a seat."
Seeing Elder Tang's attitude, the leaders of A'san and South Yue knew that it would be an unfair negotiation.
However, he couldn't blame anyone.
Who asked him to listen to the nonsense of the White Eagle Kingdom and choose to attack the Dragon Kingdom?
The leaders of A'san and South Yue followed Old Tang's instructions and sat on the chairs. The interpreter sat on the small stool behind them.
Elder Tang looked at the Sect Leader of South Yue and the Sect Leader of A'san with a kind face and said,"
"Do you have anything to say about today's matter?”
Hearing Elder Tang's words, both of them knew that Elder Tang was blaming them.
However, the leader still wore a bitter expression, as if he was complaining. He lowered his voice and slowly said to Elder Tang,
"Actually, sending troops to your country this time wasn't our A'San's idea.”
"It was the White Eagle Kingdom who bewitched us, and that's why we made such an offensive and wrong decision.”
"Please believe us. In the future, our Ah San will be the most loyal partner of the Dragon Country in the Asian region!”
When the South Yue Sect Leader heard the words of the Sect Leader Ah San, he couldn't sit still and quickly said,"
"It's the same for our South Yue!"
"It's all the White Eagle Kingdom's fault. They have been coveting the Dragon Kingdom for a long time. In the end, they used us to make trouble for you.”
"We South Yue are also victims!”
"But please rest assured. After this incident, we have also recognized the situation and are willing to establish friendly diplomacy with the Dragon Country. I hope you can give us a chance, okay?”
Seeing the two of them acting pitiful and complaining, Master Tang smiled and did not agree.
Instead, he turned to the two of them and asked calmly,
"The two of you make it sound so tragic, but it can't cover up the mistakes you've made against the Dragon Country.”
"Since you made a mistake, you should take responsibility. This is a basic principle.”
"So, how are you going to compensate our Dragon Country?”
Seeing that Mr. Tang was so impolite, he directly pointed out the main topic.
The leader of A'san and the leader of South Yue looked at each other.
The leader swallowed his saliva and said,"
"Our Ah San is willing to compensate 5 billion Dragon Country bills and transfer the mining rights of a mineral vein of the Dragon Country at a low price.”
Mr. Tang nodded but didn't comment.
Then, he looked at the South Yue Sect Leader and smiled.
South Yue's leader also swallowed his saliva, he was not as confident as Ah San and said,"
"We, South Vietnam, are willing to compensate Leader Ah San with 1 billion Dragon Country bills. We are also willing to transfer the mining rights of a mineral vein to the Dragon Country at a low price.”
Elder Tang tapped his fingers on the table and didn't say anything.
Following Mr. Tang's actions, rhythmic knocking sounds sounded in the conference room.
The leaders of South Yue and Ah San, who were sitting across from Old Tang, gradually felt uneasy. As Old Tang knocked on the door, this uneasiness became more and more obvious.
Finally, half a minute later.
Master Tang shook his head with disappointment.
"Not enough."
"The conditions you offered are not sincere enough.”
Hearing Elder Tang speak, the leaders of South Yue and Ah San heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Elder Tang was willing to continue the negotiations, everything would be easy to handle.
Now, the two of them were afraid that Mr. Tang would reject it and put military pressure on their country. If that happened, they might not be able to sit still in their positions.
However, just as the two of them were about to open their mouths to continue negotiating with Mr. Tang.
Old Master Tang put away his kind smile and slowly analyzed with a serious face,
"Perhaps you haven't figured out your current situation.”
"Ah San, your country's biggest partner should be the country in Europe, right? Every year, a large amount of wood, fishery, and minerals were sold to Europe.”
"South Yue, although your modern industry is backward, your basic industries are developed. Fruits, rubber, fishing and minerals are sold to countries around the world and can maintain a considerable income.”
"But now, the White Eagle Kingdom has taken the lead in imposing a penalty on you, followed by the western countries and even the developed countries in Asia.”
"Who do you think will reach a large import and export trade agreement with you now?”
Old Master Tang said with a smile,
"We, the Dragon Country."
Hearing Old Tang's words, the leaders of South Yue and Ah San didn't dare to say anything. They lowered their heads slightly and silently agreed with Old Tang's analysis.
Elder Tang continued to analyze,
"After experiencing this provocation, what about your military strength?”
"San, nearly a hundred tanks and rocket vehicles loaded with warheads were destroyed. The armored forces on land have suffered a huge blow.”
"South Vietnam's naval forces were completely crushed. Three of the four frigates sank, and the guided missile ships were completely annihilated.”
"Right now, whether it's military or economic, you're not qualified to negotiate with the Dragon Country.”
Mr. Tang looked at the two silent people. The smile on his face did not diminish, but the light in his eyes made the two of them tremble.
"You can think that the Dragon Country is threatening or blackmailing you.”
"But I hope you won't reject the conditions I'm about to offer.”
As Mr. Tang spoke, he took out two contracts that had been drafted long ago.
"Ah San, compensate 20 billion Dragon Country bills and transfer the development rights of the three mineral veins for free.”
"South Vietnam, compensate 5 billion Dragon Country bills and transfer the rights to develop the two mines for free.”
Hearing Elder Tang's words, the leaders of South Yue and A'San's expressions were unsettled, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Elder Tang looked at the two of them and said again,
"Don't worry, our Dragon Country is a hospitable country.”
"If you agree to compensate, then we can still have friendly diplomacy.”
"In the future, the Dragon Country can help you share the burden of your trade orders.”
"If there are military difficulties, the Dragon Country doesn't mind helping their friends.”
Mr. Tang's tone softened a little and he said calmly,
"So…"
"Do you want to become a friend of the Dragon Country or an enemy of the Dragon Country?”
"You guys make your own decisions."
