The head of the delegation from the Republic of India.
Listening to the discussions from all over the hall.
He puffed out his chest.
For so many years.
The Republic of India had always been a joke.
But today.
As a former colony of the British Empire, the Republic of India.
Finally, they could stand tall and proud before the representatives of all countries in the world.
He, at last, felt a sense of vindication.
He could even imagine how the domestic media would report it.
[Shocking! Under the leadership of delegation head XXX, India's military might shocks the world...]
[Latest News! India's military hardware instills fear globally...]
[Nothing remarkable! India's indigenously developed nuclear submarine stuns the world...]
And these news reports would undoubtedly be accompanied by pictures.
In those pictures.
His imposing figure would surely shock the entire nation.
Well.
As for whether this nuclear submarine was 100% domestically produced.
Did it really matter?
Anyway.
Meng Hao, the genius from Great Xia, had already left behind all the nuclear submarine blueprints, schematics, and technical parameters.
Even if they couldn't fully master and achieve independent domestic production within five years, ten or eight years should be sufficient!
However, he still had to thank Meng Hao.
In fact, they owed Great Xia a huge favor.
As for the 500 million remuneration plus 100 million appearance fee for Meng Hao, compared to this nuclear submarine, it was trivial.
A mere 600 million US dollars.
In exchange for India's domestically produced nuclear submarine.
This was an incredibly profitable deal, wasn't it?
...
The testing of India's "domestically produced nuclear submarine" continued.
"The submarine's maximum output power reached 70% of that of top-tier nuclear submarines..."
"The submarine's torpedo launch tube efficiency reached 79% of that of world-class submarines..."
"The submarine's maximum deep-sea speed reached 81% of that of world-class submarines..."
"..."
A series of data was released.
The representatives of all countries who were keenly observing, from initial astonishment, gradually turned to silence... Even the Indian delegation head, who had been acting like a clown and making a spectacle of himself, couldn't elicit any mockery from them.
Almost all the country representatives present knew.
This nuclear submarine originated from a private entrepreneur from Great Xia.
This was akin to a mischievous child telling you that he had built a nuclear bomb with his own hands.
Perhaps, at first, you just thought he was talking nonsense.
But if it was ultimately confirmed that the child wasn't lying.
Then, it could only prove that the child was a genius.
And Meng Hao was now this "genius child."
No, to be precise, he could no longer be described as just a genius... but a monstrous prodigy.
Compared to the delegation head who was mocking India, this astonishing news caused everyone to fall silent.
"The comprehensive data of this nuclear submarine is not particularly outstanding."
"If we set the upper limit of top-tier conventional submarines at forty points, and the baseline score for top-tier nuclear submarines at 80 points, this submarine scores around 59 points."
"It far surpasses conventional submarines and is only a hair's breadth away from the score of a top-tier submarine."
"This Meng Hao is too terrifying... We underestimated him before in Xiawei Islands City. Even though we didn't capture him, we didn't take him too seriously... The reality is that our intelligence departments have a problem... We underestimated Meng Hao's importance!"
The delegation heads of several Western Alliance countries, seated at the forefront, were conversing in hushed tones.
At the same time, they realized a problem.
Meng Hao.
If he could create such an impressive existence while assisting India in building a nuclear submarine.
Then.
When he served Great Xia, how terrifying would the military equipment he developed be?
After all.
Any person, when serving another country, would not give their all.
...
United States.
The White House.
A meeting attended by all high-level officials.
Compared to the previous meeting concerning Meng Hao, which gathered executives from intelligence agencies and the CEO of Testest Corporation, the current meeting had a much higher caliber.
"Everyone."
"This is the intelligence transmitted from the current military exhibition."
"Everyone, please take a good look."
"Compared to the talents we've poached from Great Xia before, Meng Hao is the true hidden gem."
"Compared to Meng Hao, those we've previously recruited are nothing but dirt, trash, and garbage!"
"Intelligence departments, explain to me, you receive so much funding from Capitol Hill every year, yet you failed to discover the importance of such a remarkable individual... Did you all grow up eating excrement?"
The one speaking.
Was the Secretary of the United States Department of National Defense—a woman in her fifties with blonde hair and bright red lips, exuding an extremely volatile aura.
She berated them unceremoniously.
Giving no face whatsoever to the heads of the intelligence departments present.
"Therefore, I demand that Meng Hao be brought to the United States immediately."
"Whether it's by coercion or temptation, by sacrificing charm, or by kidnapping, I want results, not processes."
Clearly.
This audacious aunt was as audacious as ever.
However, this time, her audacity met with opposition.
"This situation is different this time."
"If Meng Hao is openly kidnapped at the exhibition, it might provoke dissatisfaction from Australia!"
The blonde, red-lipped aunt dismissed it indifferently, "Australia is our ally, the United States. They will not point fingers at the actions of the United States."
This attitude.
Showed no regard for Australia as an ally; it was entirely as a subordinate that didn't need its emotions considered—or even a dog!
"Representatives from dozens of countries around the world are watching!"
"If Meng Hao is abducted under these circumstances, it's likely to cause an uproar among all countries worldwide!"
The blonde, red-lipped aunt retorted, "When has the United States ever cared about the attitudes of countries worldwide... Of course, even if the UN opposes it when we start a war, what does it matter?"
Clearly.
The audacity of this blonde, red-lipped aunt was entirely supported and bolstered by the "strong national power" of the United States!
Finally.
Someone finally got to the crux of the matter.
"He is a member of the Republic of India's delegation. Doing this is equivalent to a complete rupture in diplomatic relations with India!"
"Furthermore, India had previously notified the high-level officials of Great Xia, vouching for Meng Hao's safety with national credibility."
"Most importantly, intelligence reports indicate that the Great Xia delegation has brought an augmented company of special forces with them this time. Our intelligence analysis suggests this is likely for the protection of Meng Hao... Moreover, if Meng Hao is indeed abducted at this exhibition, Great Xia might also turn against us."
India turning against them.
This was a rather serious issue.
After all, it was a country with over a billion people, and some respect had to be given.
And turning against Great Xia... a major power second only to the United States in economy, military, industry, and population.
This issue was far too serious.
Everyone present had expected this blonde, red-lipped aunt to back down and abandon the plan to abduct Meng Hao at the Australian military equipment exhibition.
As a result.
The situation once again exceeded everyone's expectations!
