Be it the Wolf Riders or the Ghost Leopards, they were all powerful races.
Moreover, the weakest of these demon warriors were Great Demons, and the strongest had even reached the peak of Demon King.
Could it be that His Majesty Emperor Peng had secretly trained these demon warriors and handed them over to the young master?
Granny Hua thought to herself, but she immediately denied this speculation. After all, the environment of the human world had changed, and the spiritual energy was thin. It was extremely difficult for a demon to become a Great Demon, let alone a Demon King.
To put it bluntly, it was impossible for the Great Snowmountain to have such an elite team of demon warriors.
Everything that she saw tonight had completely overturned Granny Hua's impression of the young master that she had never met.
If Su Ningxiang had not been staring at the TV and was not in the mood to talk, she would have pestered her to find out more about this mysterious young master.
Just as the Paradise Island Private Army was secretly teleported to the Longteng Group's branch in the United States to await the rescue operation, battleships and planes took off one after another. In the name of a temporary military exercise, troops were stationed at the border. This caused the hearts of many high-level officials to jump, and they secretly guessed the intentions of China.
For a moment, China became the focus of the world's attention, and people quickly linked this series of actions with the forced signal interruption that night.
China was using this method to send a message, an extremely tough message.
If you want to fight, I will fight.
China was no longer a weak country that could be bullied by others, but did not dare to speak up.
Although China loved peace, it did not mean that they were afraid of war. If some countries suspected that they were going to do something that exceeded the bottom line of China's tolerance, then they would go to war.
The White House in the United States.
President Daibarang was in a very bad mood at the moment. His face was so gloomy that it could drip water. It was completely different from the happy mood he had when he rejected the request of the Head of State half an hour ago.
In less than an hour, China was able to organize a large-scale temporary military exercise that swept the entire country.
This kind of command and quick response showed the strength of China's military power. At least, the United States could not do it.
Thinking of the consequences of the war, Daibarond became timid. He did not expect that the Celestial Empire, which had always protested and condemned the Celestial Empire, would take such a tough stance this time.
Although the US was known as the strongest country in the world, as the president, he knew better than anyone else that the current US was in debt, had an economic deficit, and a huge increase in unemployment. It was impossible for them to fight a large-scale war that would cost a lot of manpower and money, especially in China that spanned half of the world.
The sleeping giant dragon in the East had awakened and was rising rapidly at a speed that no one dared to underestimate. In just a few decades, it had become one of the most powerful countries. This was a miracle that could not be replicated, and it was also the main reason why the US regarded it as the biggest threat.
The US deliberately provoked, suppressed, and made things difficult for them …
It was to slow down the speed of China's rise, buy more time to ease the economic pressure, and calmly carry out the layout so that the US could maintain its position as the strongest country.
According to the Celestial Empire's previous attitude in dealing with provocations, it was nothing more than protests and condemnations to win the sympathy of the international community. Therefore, when the Celestial Empire's Head of State took the initiative to communicate with him, his attitude was extremely arrogant and disdainful. He used his usual social rhetoric to evade the matter, saying that he knew nothing about this matter, and used the tactic of delaying.
He did not expect the Celestial Empire's government to react so fiercely this time, even at the cost of a war to exert pressure.
"If you insist on going your own way, you will bear all the consequences."
The words that the Celestial Empire's Head of State said when he hung up the phone still lingered in his ears, but at that time, his attitude was contemptuous and even extremely contemptuous. He did not take it seriously at all.
But now …
The Celestial Empire had used their actions to prove that those words were not just words, and they were really going to do it.
Daibarond felt very aggrieved, very angry, very annoyed, very angry …
Since when did the world's most powerful country fall to the point of being threatened by a developing country like China?
But behind these emotions, there was more fear and panic in his heart. Although the United States appeared to be insufferably arrogant to the outside world, he knew his own situation very well. Once they really went to war with the Celestial Empire, even if the United States eventually won the war, it would definitely lose eight hundred men to kill one thousand enemies, and the country's economy would go back at least a hundred years.
At that time, the position of the world's most powerful country would no longer belong to the United States. This was a consequence that he, the president, and the people of the United States could not bear. He would become a sinner in history and be nailed to the shelf of shame forever.
"Your Excellency, what do you think …"
His think tank, Clem, asked cautiously as he looked at the uncertain expression on Daibarond's face.
"Call Joseph and tell him to stop all his stupid actions immediately."
Daibarond rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and his face felt hot.
Clem had once reminded him to focus on economic warfare and not to take drastic measures to provoke the Celestial Empire, but he did not take it seriously at all. He even mocked the Celestial Empire for being a weak nation that only dared to protest and condemn them at most.
But reality gave him a loud slap in the face, forcing him to eat his words and act according to the Celestial Empire's intentions.
"Yes, I will call him immediately."
Clem heaved a long sigh of relief, responded, and turned to leave quickly.
As a think tank, he was very clear about the economic situation of the United States. In the words of the Celestial Empire, they were strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It was an extremely irrational move to go to war with the Celestial Empire now.
He was afraid that Daibarond would not be able to swallow his pride and insist on going to the end. He did not dare to imagine how things would develop in the end.
Fortunately, as a businessman, Daibarond knew how to weigh the pros and cons. Provoking the Celestial Empire would only cause the United States to suffer huge losses. Between interests and pride, he wisely chose the former.
However, when he heard the notification that the call could not be connected, Clem was strangely angry. He kept dialing the number and cursed, "F * ck, damn Joseph, you will go to hell after you die."
"Your Excellency, I have to tell you a very unpleasant news. General Joseph's phone cannot be connected."
Five minutes later, Clem gave up dialing the number and reported to Daibarond with an ugly expression.
"What?"
Daibarond's expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "Is he not going to answer or is the call not going through?"
"I can't get through. I think he must have blocked the signal at the scene."
Clem said with a heavy expression.
Daibarond's face was extremely pale, and he said in a deep voice, "What about other ways to contact him?"
"I've tried all of them, but none of them can get in touch with him."
Clem shook his head with a bitter expression.
"Damn it!"
Daibaran cursed angrily. Then, he was filled with fear and panic. He paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, but he found that there was nothing he could do. He helplessly looked at Clem, who was deep in thought, and asked, "What should we do now?"
Clem did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment before saying, "I've already contacted the military closest to the scene to convey your orders. I hope we can make it in time."
"What if it's too late?"
Daibarang had to prepare for the worst and asked helplessly.
Clem stole a glance at him and said with a sincere expression,
"I suggest that His Excellency the President immediately contact China's Head of State and express our stance. We should tell him the truth about the current situation and obtain his understanding and forgiveness. This way, even if we can't stop General Joseph, China won't go to war with us out of rage."
"He wants me to lower my head to him."
Daibarond's face turned green and red as he said unwillingly, "Is there another way?"
Although he knew that this was the best course of action at the moment, it was built on the basis of trampling on his dignity as president. He really couldn't bring himself to do this.
"This is the only way."
Clem shook his head and said with great certainty.
However, he was deeply gratified. Since Daibarang had asked this question, it meant that although he was unwilling, he had actually accepted this as the only way.
A dignified president could actually put down his pride and apologize to an unfriendly country's Head of State. This kind of magnanimity and tolerance were the qualities that a qualified person in power should have.
Of course, this was a nice way of putting it. To put it bluntly, he was actually thick-skinned and shameless.
Daibarang's expression was uncertain. Although he had accepted the suggestion, he felt a burning pain in his face when he remembered his arrogant attitude when he answered the phone. Now, he had to beg for the other party's forgiveness.
"His Excellency, although I really don't want to say it, I have to remind you that it's better to make this call as soon as possible. If it's too late, it will be useless."
Clem saw that he did not move, so he had to remind him.
Before the worst happened, making this call would still be useful. However, once the worst happened, not only would it not appease the other party's anger, but it would also make the other party feel that it was a provocation.
"Alright, connect me to the China Parliament."
Daibarang was not a fool. After being reminded by Clem, he immediately realized that time was of the essence. Once a certain period of time passed, the meaning of this call would be completely different.
…
In the China Parliament, all seven big shots sat around the conference table with solemn expressions. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Isn't this a little too impulsive?"
One of the big shots looked at the Head of State, frowned, and said softly, "Once a war breaks out, the US will not be able to get away with it, but we will not have a good time either."
"There's no hurry. Just wait. Daibarang will make a clear choice."
The Head of State sipped the Spirit Extract Tea and said confidently.
"We can't afford to fight, and the US can't afford to fight either. Daibarang is not a fool. He is a businessman, and he knows how to calculate the score better than anyone else."
The Prime Minister said with a chuckle.
The big shot had a look of realization and said with a smile, "This is a way to subdue the enemy without a fight."
"What if Daibarang doesn't play by the rules?"
One of the big shots voiced his concern.
"We'll just have to deal with it when it comes."
The Head of State put down his teacup and said calmly, "If Daibarang doesn't know what's good for him, then let's start a war."
Everyone's expression changed. They thought that the Head of State was just putting pressure on the other party. They did not expect that he really had the intention to start a war.
"Of course, that's for the worst. We, China, have been silent for too long. It's time to make our voice heard."
The Head of State's face was solemn, revealing a murderous aura, and he spoke passionately.
"Yes, China loves peace and has no ambition to dominate. However, we are not a pushover that anyone can pinch. It's time to teach some countries a lesson."
The big shot in charge of the military had always been a radical. He slammed the table and said excitedly.
