Chapter 148: Chapter 131: Yingjiang Fishing in Troubled Waters—Aren’t You Afraid It’s a Shark? (Part 2)

The place was filled with reporters from various countries, armed with all kinds of long and short cameras.

This time around, Andre, whether through invitation or threat, had managed to summon almost every reporter from modernized countries.

However, the most numerous among them were naturally from Dragon Country and Russia.

The intention was simple:

If Yingjiang is not subdued, you two will always be subordinates!

Having so many reporters from different countries come was to maximize the impact of this event, allowing everyone to witness Yingjiang’s magnificent presence!

Looking down from a glass window, Davis was very satisfied with what he saw.

However, he turned to Andre, frowning, and asked, "Where’s Walker?"

"Two hours ago, the aircraft carrier arresting gear he ordered should have arrived. Now, there’s only one hour left. What’s going on?"

Andre replied with a forced smile, "Rest assured, sir. I’ve contacted him already. He mentioned there was a slight hitch in the process, so he’s running late."

"But he assured that it would arrive before the conference, without any delay to the main event,"

Davis nodded, asking no further questions.

After all, in his impression, Walker had reached the rank of Major General through his own abilities.

He’s always been reliable and proper in his dealings, dependable.

There was no way he could have anticipated that the Walker he deemed trustworthy would be so brazen this time.

Utterly executing a plan of deception right under their noses!

Meanwhile, the representatives from Dragon Country and Russia arrived fashionably late.

The Russian representative was a rugged-looking, burly man who seemed ready to draw his knife at any moment.

The representative from Dragon Country was Li Jianye.

The reason everyone elected him was simple.

Of all from Dragon Country, he’s visited Yingjiang Ministry of Defense the most, and he wouldn’t get lost on the way.

As soon as the representatives got off the car, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed journalists.

The journalists, like sharks smelling blood, immediately swarmed over.

Although the security personnel from both sides tried hard to block them, the sheer number of journalists meant some managed to get close.

"Representative from Dragon Country, what is your country’s people’s reaction to buying Yingjiang’s aircraft carrier arresting gear at 15 million US Dollars each plus half a ton of rare earths?"

"Russian representative, did you come to know of Yingjiang’s high-performance aircraft carrier arresting gear through Dragon Country?"

"I heard that Dragon Country bought three thousand units from Yingjiang at once. Is this indirectly admitting they can’t make it themselves?"

"Dragon Country is rich in resources and vast lands. I believe they can easily come up with this money, but with Russia’s waning economy, would buying a thousand units strain your muscles and bones? The people... ah!"

Before the rude journalist could finish, the Russian representative punched directly.

The six-foot-two tall, muscular man instantly made the journalist’s nose bleed.

Clutching his wrist, the Russian representative squinted his eyes slightly and looked around menacingly.

Seeing the surrounding people momentarily stunned, he snorted and strode toward the door.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jianye also easily left the scene of trouble.

Davis and Andre happened to come down from upstairs, smiling.

Seeing the representatives of the Three Kingdoms gathered, the surrounding journalists wouldn’t miss this scene, raising their equipment to film immediately.

The Russian representative didn’t hold back, directly mocking, "Davis, this so-called press conference of yours is really something you’ve put your heart into."

Davis beamed, acting as if he didn’t catch the hidden sarcasm, "My dear friend, you and Dragon Country are Yingjiang’s closest partners. Naturally, the reception should be grand."

The Russian representative snorted coldly, saying nothing more.

This scene from Yingjiang was obviously staged to suppress Russia and Dragon Country.

Li Jianye coughed lightly, smiling, "Then we thank our good friend Yingjiang for their enthusiastic hospitality."

"But as the matter is pressing, let’s skip the formalities. Are the aircraft carrier arresting gears we need ready?"

"Of course, my friend," Davis smiled, turning to Andre and instructing, "Such an esteemed moment, it’s not right to let our friends outside wait. Use military vehicles to take them to the third port to witness history!"

Quickly.

Military vehicles paved the way, mightily escorting.

Dozens of helicopters hovered above, showing the grandeur of Yingjiang as a great nation.

As live broadcasts were made available in each country and manipulated from inside Yingjiang’s tech department, all live streams were temporarily integrated, allowing netizens from each country to join.

A worm from Korea: "Oh, isn’t this the Celestial Empire with vast lands and a long history? How come they’re asking for help now?"

Japan: "I have a say in this. I always thought Dragon Country was strong, but after a war, I realized it’s mainly a facade."

Monkey Country: "Hahaha, without the big brother’s aircraft carrier arresting gear, what kind of hero is Dragon Country supposed to be? Even if they build an aircraft carrier, it’s nothing but a heap of scrap metal."

Seeing these extremely arrogant comments, netizens from Dragon Country became furious.

"This infuriates me! Even if we don’t have an aircraft carrier, we can beat you up with one hand!"

"You’ve forgotten about the past self-defense counterattack, haven’t you? If your skin itches again, just provoke us and see if my mom doesn’t hammer you."

"Do you also want to experience the power of our Dragon Country military’s ’goodnight’?"

...

Before the global live broadcast began, Wang Maocai and Lin Hai had already arrived at Changchun Temple.

The purpose of their visit this time was naturally related to the matter discussed last time.

Once again, seeking divine protection to ensure that the box they check happens to be the only one with aircraft carrier arresting gear on the ship.

Seeing the two about to burn incense and make a wish, Ning An helplessly stopped them.

"Minister Wang, Elder Lin, you already made a wish last time. You don’t need to wish for the same thing again."

With a glance from Wang Maocai, Elder Lin smiled wryly, "It’s not that we don’t believe it, it’s just that we’re afraid of the plan collapsing midway."

Ning An confidently said, "Elder Lin, rest assured, the incense of Changchun Temple can pull a person from the Underworld. Let alone betting on odds, just sit peacefully and watch the show."

Hearing Ning An’s words, the two felt a great sense of relief, exchanged knowing smiles, and sat down with Ning An to watch Yingjiang’s live broadcast.

At the third port.

Everything was ready by this time.

But Davis was not in a hurry; he was waiting for a signal.

Andre, behind him, had quietly climbed into the ship’s cabin.

In the cabin, full of the smell of rust, his expression was unpleasant. He tightly covered his face with a handkerchief and shouted, "Walker, Walker!"

Soon, a loud commotion erupted from the container area.

Dressed in black, Walker walked ahead, followed by several workers and mechanical tracks, bringing a container in front of Andre.

With a nod from Andre, Walker gave a command, and the container was opened instantly.

"Excellent, Walker. This merits recognition!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Seeing the neatly lined-up aircraft carrier arresting gears inside the container, Andre’s furrowed expression finally relaxed slightly.

Immediately, as agreed, Andre pressed a remote sensor button on his wristwatch.

Not far away, Davis suddenly felt a slight vibration from his watch. He smiled.

Slightly turning his back to the camera, Andre pointed to a cargo ship not far away, enthusiastically declaring:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in that cargo ship lies today’s centerpiece, the aircraft carrier arresting gears that our friends from Dragon Country and Russia need."

"Originally, we at Yingjiang never intended to sell them, but due to the fervent pleas of our friends, we’ve shown our goodwill and are sending warmth to them."

Hearing this, Li Jianye and the Russian representative exchanged subtle smiles, then the Russian representative took charge and boldly said:

"Enough talk! Quickly let me see what kind of aircraft carrier arresting gears Yingjiang has, and don’t slap your own face!"

Upon hearing this, Andre assumed the Russian was feeling humiliated and, in a fit of anger, told him to speak less, so he didn’t think much of it.

"Hehe, alright, alright. Then I won’t talk further, and let the people of the world witness the miracle directly!"

As his words fell, the cargo ship also happened to reach the port, and Andre immediately ordered the unloading to begin.

Once all the containers were unloaded, the cameras of journalists from various countries were eager to zoom in.

Even Davis himself, holding the key, walked up to a container with a smile on his face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t blink, please watch!"

At that moment, cameras from all over the world focused on this spot.

As the container was slowly opened, the smugness on his face became more apparent.

After all, suppressing Russia and Dragon Country is something that Yingjiang hotshots have wanted to achieve many times.

Even MacArthur had to skulk away!

Beside him, both Andre and Walker clapped with smiles on their faces, attempting to be more endearing in this historic footage.

Soon, the container was fully opened, displaying its splendor to the world.

Gasp!

At the moment of seeing inside the container, all the journalists gasped and exclaimed.

"Walt? What is this?"

"This... this isn’t the aircraft carrier arresting gear?"

"Am I seeing things? This isn’t right..."
