For most people in Xin, the confrontation that took place in the Western Pacific Ocean was only superficial.
The Celestial Trade Navy fired a warning shot, and the UA Joint Fleet avoided the attack. The aircraft of both sides flew out and chased each other in the air for a while before they finally returned to their respective bases …
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Celestial Trade still had the upper hand.
As for the game buried behind the surface, no one delved into it. Especially in the final showdown between the leaders, both the UA and Xin tacitly maintained silence in front of the media.
After all, the nuclear button was on the table. Jiang Chen didn't want to be criticized by public opinion as a butcher who killed without blinking, and the UA didn't want to lose the deterrent of the president's "suitcase". As for how much inside information other countries could obtain through their own intelligence network, it was unpredictable.
In any case, the world's leaders actively gave way was still something to be proud of.
Celestial Trade Navy not only defended Xin's sea power, but also the national honor and national confidence of Xin. In this week, Xin people walked on the street with their heads held high, and they almost didn't look at the road with their nostrils. Many immigrants from all over the world also started to treat this new country as a real country from this moment onwards.
As for the UA, public opinion was polarized.
The leftists praised Hill for remaining rational. After all, they didn't agree with the wrong military exercise from the beginning. Xin's Phantom helmets and high-tech products are so fun, why are you bullying them?
On the other hand, White Right launched an attack on the weakness of the White House on social media platforms, denouncing the Pentagon for shaming the Stars and Stripes Flag. Even Captain Hogg, the commander of the Joint Fleet, was cursed by all the women in his family.
The most innocent person was Captain Hogg. The Department of Defense asked him to fight, and the Department of Defense asked him to retreat. He did what he should do, but in the end, he had to be scolded along with the bureaucrats in the Capital. In all honesty, what did this have to do with him? Was it because he wasn't aggressive enough when driving?
The rightists' anger was not only vented on the Internet, but they even took to the streets, held up signs, and demonstrated in front of the Xin Embassy.
Although these angry young people wouldn't smash Xin's new energy vehicles, they also spontaneously joined the ranks of boycotting "new goods" except for two things: the Phantom helmet and the medical drone.
Cell phones and robots were still manageable, but without those two things, it would be the same as taking their lives …
Economics is a continuation of politics.
The confrontation in the Western Pacific Ocean had already determined today's situation.
However, although the "anti-News" sentiment in North America was growing, Future Group didn't take it too seriously. The power revolution brought by the Global Grid had begun to show results. Future Group was now focusing on expanding into the East Asia market.
Take Wanghai for example, almost every parking lot was equipped with wireless charging stations produced by Future Heavy Industries. Users only needed to scan the QR code to complete payment and charging without even needing to get out of the car. Logistics drones had replaced couriers running around the streets, and robot maids had entered the homes of ordinary people.
Many electrical appliances that could not be realized due to their high power consumption had become reality one by one. The maglev road was the best example, although it was only popularized in Xin. Because of this, Elon Musk let out such a sigh.
Coro City entered the 22nd century ahead of schedule.
And Asia, led by Xin, was moving toward the 22nd century.
In fact, regardless of anything else, a very intuitive phenomenon showed the rapid changes in Asia. At night, looking down from the geosynchronous orbit, anyone could see that the Asian region was significantly brighter than Europe and America combined.
In short, the hostility of the UA people to Xin had a certain impact on Future Group's market share in North America, but the loss was quite limited, so Jiang Chen didn't take it to heart. His foundation was the virtual reality network, and now there was the Global Grid. As long as these two were unshakable, then Future Group was unshakable.

"I'm rich, I'm very rich, I'm very rich!"
"So, I don't care how much money those Wall Street people will give me!"
"I promise you that if you vote for me, at least you won't inexplicably appear in the pocket of Wall Street. Only I can represent your interests, only I can represent the UA dream. Yes, only me! "
In a park somewhere in Nevada.
People whistled, cheered, and screamed. Countless arms were raised above their heads, holding up the slogans of supporters, waving the star-spangled flags, and chanting the same person's name.
The man on the stage narrowed his eyes, and his bright orange face was filled with a presumptuous, arrogant, and undisguised smile.
He opened his arms and accepted the cheers of the voters with his chin, but he received the respect that other candidates couldn't get even if they bowed down.
He knew what they needed the most.
And what they needed, only he could give it to them!
Choosing the right time, he raised his hand and signaled everyone to listen to him. The man straightened the microphone, waved his index finger, and spoke with all his might.
"We shouldn't send a guy like Kerry, who has no concept of negotiation, to sign an infuriating and ridiculous agreement with them, and watch them use our money to build weapons while being aggressive on the negotiating table."
"You know who I'm talking about, that's right! It's him! Only a man more manly than him can compete with that man, not the old woman who can't even calculate her period! "
"Tell me, will you vote for that old woman, or those sissies?"
Many female voters' expressions changed, and they turned from fans to haters without hesitation. Not only did they throw their signs, but they also raised their middle fingers and booed. But the cheers under the stage became even stronger, drowning out the boos in the tide-like cheers.
They've had enough of political correctness and politicians who painted a pie in the sky. Finally, someone has stood up for them. Even if he wasn't necessarily smart enough, based on what he just said, it was too similar to the message I left on Twitter a few days ago!
"The UA dream has been shattered! And I will reshape the UA dream, make it bigger, better, stronger, and return it to greatness. Thank you. "
The man bowed deeply, and in the cheers, he walked off the stage with his head held high.
No one paid attention to this impassioned election speech, and no one even noticed this insignificant candidate.
Hill was still busy dealing with the aftermath of the joint military exercise, racking her brains to win over the allies who had disagreements in their hearts. Accompanied by Daniel Morgan, Kerry collected evidence of a certain person's scandal while frequently contacting the members of the party. Without batting an eyelid, he made preparations for the next year's general election and planned to give the "boss" the time to launch a counterattack.
