Chapter 153: Chapter 136: Russia and Dragon Country Stand United, Kicking Yingjiang’s Crippled Leg Together

Looking at the commotion below the stage, Li Jianye nodded imperceptibly and said solemnly:

"Although Yingjiang provided parameters suitable for Dragon Country’s aircraft carrier arrestor cable, the price they demanded was too high."

"Therefore, we have had to intensify our search for a second possibility."

Saying this, Li Jianye deliberately paused to clear his throat, took a sip of water, and then continued:

"Heaven has not doomed us, for by chance, we discovered the company this lady is in charge of."

As everyone followed the direction Li Jianye pointed, the numerous reporters quickly turned their cameras, capturing none other than Gao Xiaoning, whom Yingjiang accused of riding the wave for publicity.

Gao Xiaoning smiled and nodded to everyone around her, taking over the conversation with a loud voice: "Don’t laugh, everyone. When our factory first produced these things, we didn’t know their use, so we sold them cheaply to Williams."

"By coincidence, our people found that the aircraft carrier arrestor cable causing such a stir internationally turned out to look almost identical to the mooring cables produced by our factory."

"How could I believe that? After all, Yingjiang’s technology has always been leading globally, and my small factory wouldn’t dare to challenge that, so I thought to investigate thoroughly before drawing any conclusions."

Looking at the lights in the audience, Gao Xiaoning clenched her fist and said with aroused hatred: "But after our series of evidence collection, we discovered that this so-called Yingjiang-manufactured aircraft carrier arrestor cable was actually produced by our factory!"

"The most ridiculous thing is that after Williams purchased them, they didn’t even bother to inspect them. Our factory’s mooring cables all have small engraved letters at the tail, which, though tiny, do exist!"

As these words were spoken, everyone immediately took out their phones to check the PPT that Yingjiang had sent them a few days ago.

The PPT showcased extremely detailed images of the aircraft carrier arrestor cable, intended to demonstrate prowess while suppressing Dragon Country and the Russians.

But unexpectedly, it became a sword swinging back at them.

Oh my god!

When everyone clearly saw the details at the cable tail as described by Gao Xiaoning, they were utterly shocked.

Gao Xiaoning’s clear declaration continued: "This kind of conduct, which the world despises, I detest deeply. I believe no one likes a person who eats your food yet turns around to slap you."

"When I heard our Dragon Country leaders say how painful the price Yingjiang proposed was, I was stunned, I was dumbfounded, I never imagined that the product I manufactured would become a shackle on our country’s development!"

"Taking our stuff and swinging the scythe of capital backward to reap us — I ask everyone here, if it were you, would you not be angry? Should your compatriots not be furious?"

After these statements, the Russian Representative’s eyes lit up, and he stood up directly, bursting out: "Well done, Yingjiang, ignoring us as if we were nothing!"

"Is there no law in international trade anymore? Are you planning to take back everything you ever said about free world trade?"

"If so, say it as soon as possible. No one is forcing you, Yingjiang, to stand at the forefront. If you can’t handle this pressure, then let someone else take over; I don’t believe international trade will end up worse than now!"

Facing the aggressive stance of Dragon Country and the Russians, even Davis, with his profound scheming, didn’t speak up immediately.

After all, the issue was too aggressive and any carelessness could lead to a slip of the tongue.

And now it was a live broadcast; if Yingjiang still wants an absolute position on the international stage, this issue must be addressed head-on.

He glanced back at the silent Walker and the limp Williams on the ground.

At that moment, how much he wished to sigh aloud and reverse time to slap himself hard twice.

If he hadn’t wanted to make a major move before retirement, if he hadn’t organized such a grand press conference...

Davis shook his head; there is no such thing as regret in this world. What he needs to do now is to minimize the impact of this matter as soon as possible.

He carefully began to speak: "Regarding the doubts raised by both country representatives, I must express that our Yingjiang military is just as united against this predicament."

"Who would have thought that people could be so ruthless, driven insane to this degree for money, disregarding human decency altogether!"

"On this point, our Yingjiang military is also a victim, thoroughly deceived by this greedy individual from start to finish!"

Tons of blame—however much there was—was placed squarely on Williams.

In Davis’s eyes, let alone a second-hand seller with no background; if need be, Walker would also have to take the fall!

He turned, wearing a pained expression: "Friends, without exaggeration, the harm suffered by our Yingjiang military is no less than that of Dragon Country and the Russians."

"At that time, the cost of the aircraft carrier arrestor cable we bought from that guy was as high as six million US dollars each!"

"I know you must ask, how could such a big deal not be inspected?"

Davis paused for a moment and then lashed out in anger: "Would you believe it, he actually hired a whole Hollywood film crew!"

"When we sent people to inspect, everything from the R&D department to the production department was so professional, so professional that our own scientific experts were embarrassed."

"As a result, only today has this farce come to light. Here, I apologize to everyone, to the representatives of Dragon Country and the Russians."

The live stream audience had long fallen silent, overwhelmed by the twists and turns of the plot.

"No, the more I hear from Yingjiang’s representative, the more nonsensical it sounds. How could Hollywood be involved in this narrative?"

"Hmph! Classic Dragon Country strategy—sacrifice the pawn to protect the king! Back when us Cherry Blossoms studied Great Tang, we learned the Thirty-Six Stratagems well; there’s no mistaking it!"

"Aishiba! You traitor, how dare you badmouth the Suzerain state Cherry Blossoms!"

"Exactly, from my perspective, the Yingjiang military might indeed have been deceived by this scoundrel. We’ve all seen Hollywood and know how professional and skilled those actors are. If done ruthlessly, perhaps they could indeed pull off such a deception."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I’m not going to join in your dogfight. I just know Yingjiang has utterly disgraced itself this time."

"Hahaha, indeed, from the beginning of this live stream, Yingjiang has been relentlessly targeting Dragon Country and the Russians. Yingjiang’s intentions were clear to everyone, yet in the end, the slap ironically landed on themselves."

"Selling their own product, thinking it was made by their own folks, only to find out it was stolen from the buyer. This is practically handing the face over for a slap."

"Hehe, I said, my Dragon Country wouldn’t stay silent for so long for no reason. So, it turns out they were holding back a big move. Wonderful! Wonderful! Grant extra budget to the military — buy the most expensive cigarettes!"
