The situation was slowly brewing.
In the beginning.
Those American netizens, who had been ridiculed by the netizens of Great Xia for a long time, were still quite restrained.
The main reason was the fear that Meng Hao would suddenly pop out from some obscure corner and unleash a counter-offensive, slapping them across the face.
However.
After days of continuous, frantic tagging.
Meng Hao did not show up.
Then.
It could basically be concluded.
Meng Hao had truly abandoned Great Xia and joined America.
Otherwise.
Under the tagging of so many Great Xia netizens, he wouldn't have been so aloof!
The only explanation was.
Meng Hao dared not face the furious wrath of Great Xia netizens for the time being, feeling guilty, so he decided to play dead.
Of course.
No one would ever think that Meng Hao had been detained by America during this time.
In everyone's impression.
Although America occasionally resorted to disgusting, low-brow tactics.
But, after all, it was a global superpower, the number one power in science and technology, economy, and military fields.
Since it was a great nation.
It wouldn't be like those African countries, playing dirty tricks like kidnapping and extortion for profit, would it?
So.
All the delighted Americans.
All agreed that there was only one outcome.
Under America's strong allure and their government's powerful execution.
Meng Hao had abandoned Great Xia, truly submitted his application for naturalization, and joined the American family.
Even.
Many had already started to imagine how the American government had worked on Meng Hao's mindset and successfully convinced him to join America.
And these originally non-existent fantasies, when put online, immediately became established facts.
"Speaking of which, those fools from Great Xia really refuse to believe the facts… this is news released by our military… this is not some minor gossip from an internet influencer."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I see that many Great Xia people are unwilling to admit the strength of others… America has always been stronger than your Great Xia, this is a truth that will never be challenged, haven't you recognized the facts yet!"
"Meng Hao choosing to join our America is the best choice, only America is the strongest country in the world, with the best scientific research environment."
"Look at these Great Xia people who are indignant and resentful, I can smell the sour stench of envy and jealousy through the screen."
"Meng Hao's ancestral home is indeed in your Great Xia, so what? Our human ancestors are also from Africa, and those dark-skinned brothers are still at the bottom of the human technology hierarchy."
"Brother above, I suspect you are inciting racial discrimination… but it doesn't matter, our government did a good job this time. At first, we were wondering why Meng Hao didn't join our American nationality, it seems we were too naive, can't be too hasty… in your Great Xia language, it's called 'let the bullets fly for a while'."
"…"
Various taunts.
Various merciless mockery.
Before, how proud Great Xia was of Meng Hao, now the disgrace of Meng Hao "defecting from Great Xia and joining America" was just as severe.
…
As the news of the American military announcing Meng Hao's betrayal of Great Xia and joining America continued to ferment.
At the press conference, the "original copy" of Lieutenant General Tommy's application letter from Meng Hao to join America also "leaked" and appeared online.
For several consecutive days.
Netizens who could not get a personal appearance and testimony from Meng Hao, all turned their attention to this application letter from Meng Hao to join America… As for whether the focus of public opinion suddenly shifted to this handwritten application letter from Meng Hao to join America was due to someone intentionally spreading rumors, or if it was truly the collective action of the vast number of netizens, that is unknown.
In short.
After being judged by various netizens who claimed to be passers-by and had different professions.
This "Meng Hao's application letter to join America" seemed to have become "ironclad proof" of Meng Hao's betrayal of Great Xia.
"Speaking of which, I am engaged in handwriting identification, and the handwriting on this application letter cannot be said to be completely the same as Meng Hao's, but exactly the same. I can confidently declare that this is the original…"
This netizen even posted his work ID, as if he were indeed a senior handwriting identification worker.
"As a hacker, I have traced the unit from which this application letter was leaked… it is precisely in the San Francisco Bay Area of America, where there are the best universities in America and even the world, Stanford University!"
This person, who claimed to be a hacker, also revealed hacker tools such as DOS attacks and address filters.
These ironclad pieces of evidence seemed to point the truth of the matter in a certain direction.
That is.
Meng Hao had indeed joined America, and he was currently in San Francisco, America, and had accepted an appointment from Stanford University.
"As a criminal psychology expert, I can even analyze Meng Hao's current psychological state… he indeed yearns for America, but he is, after all, a native of Great Xia. Having betrayed his country and nation, he still feels some guilt in his heart… I truly despise and disdain Meng Hao's actions, but I understand and agree with his choice, after all, everyone wants to move upwards."
This netizen, who claimed to be a criminal psychology expert.
Even posted his workstation.
And on the computer document on the workstation, there was a large paper titled "Analysis of Meng Hao's Psychological State of Defecting from Great Xia and Joining America."
This paper.
In the following days, it was quickly published by a globally renowned authoritative psychology journal.
All of this.
Seemed to point to a conclusion that Great Xia people were unwilling to admit, and Americans were ecstatic about.
Meng Hao.
Truly and indeed, had defected and joined America.
Regarding.
The wind direction of the global network had shifted again.
And this shift was brought about by that so-called psychological analysis expert.
Country of Fusang: "We express our contempt and condemnation for Meng Hao's actions. Such betrayal of one's country is indeed despicable… However, as a country with the same origins as Fusang, our treatment is also very good, and our Fusang beauties are world-famous. Why didn't Meng Hao choose our Fusang?"
British Isles: "Meng Hao's actions are completely inconsistent with the knightly spirit of our Great British Royal family… However, our treatment in the British Isles is no less than that of America. We truly don't understand why Meng Hao chose to join America… but, if Meng Hao chose to join our British Isles, we would immediately bestow upon him the title of Prince and endless honor."
Italy: "As the Holy Roman Empire, our country is the country with the strongest sense of honor… we still think Meng Hao should join us."
Various countries around the world: ???
That Italy during World War II, which took running away as an honor and surrender as pride, dared to claim to have a sense of honor?
Was this a blackening of Meng Hao, or a blackening of Meng Hao, or a blackening of Meng Hao?
