Thirty minutes later, Han Yibang was earnestly watching the video he had replayed several times.
After confirming this version was the most perfect, Han Yibang smiled and declared, "Alright, this is the one!"
"Mr. Han, aren't we proceeding a bit too quickly?" the burly man in military uniform beside him asked after a moment of silence, wanting to voice his concerns.
During these thirty minutes, he had been tormented.
He had filmed video after video with Han Yibang, only for Han Yibang to remain completely unsatisfied.
"No, no, no, I'm very satisfied with this video," Han Yibang replied, then edited the accompanying text and directly posted the update.
Seeing this, the burly man's mouth hung open, his brain seemingly frozen, completely unsure of what to say.
He had clearly said "too quickly," not whether it was satisfactory or not!
At this moment, he felt like cursing, but his gaze inadvertently landed on the constantly flashing red notification dots on Han Yibang's account.
The burly man sighed and cast his eyes towards the window of the private jet without a word.
It was too late to say anything now.
All he could do was hope that this incident wouldn't cause too much of a stir in Bangzi country...
The update posted by Han Yibang had already been noticed by netizens. Even if he deleted it now, it would be futile.
"General Han, what are you thinking about?"
"Look, many netizens are already expressing their enthusiastic celebrations."
"Damn it, there are still people doubting the decision I made!"
As if seeing something, Han Yibang's brow furrowed, and he exclaimed, "General Han, come, come."
"Come and curse them with me. I am the leader of Bangzi country, is it possible that my decisions are wrong?"
The burly man in military uniform quickly glanced at his phone screen, his mouth opening as if he had something stuck in his throat.
His gaze towards the window was now tinged with a faint sadness.
How could he not know the magnitude of the uproar this would cause?
That was precisely why he had wanted to persuade Han Yibang!
But now, it was too late to say anything. He could only hope that Han Yibang had made the right decision this time.
...
As expected.
The moment Han Yibang's message was sent, it instantly captured the attention of countless netizens in Bangzi country.
After all, this was the first country on Blue Star to submit to another country as the new era dawned!
While many countries had submitted to the Beautiful Country, it was only nominally to signify good relations between the two nations.
But Han Yibang had directly tied himself to Da Xia. That was one thing.
He had even publicly declared his allegiance to Da Xia.
This meant that in the future, the citizens of Bangzi country would be inferior to those of Da Xia, and even inferior to people from all countries on Blue Star!
After all, there were no other countries on Blue Star that had submitted. In a sense, no matter how weak a country was, they stood on the same level as Da Xia.
"?? What is Han Yibang going crazy about? Why is he submitting to Da Xia?"
"My God, will Bangzi country become a subordinate from now on?"
"A subordinate is a subordinate, what's the big deal? This is the subordinate of Da Xia, a position many countries wish they had."
"This... impossible, absolutely impossible, this is definitely not true."
"How could our great Bangzi country submit to Da Xia? This must be fake."
"Their leader Han's account must have been hacked, that's why this was posted."
...
Currently, within Bangzi country, Han Yibang's remarks were like a contagious, massive earthquake. Countless citizens of Bangzi country were unhappy about it.
They were indeed grateful to Ao Yuan for saving Bangzi country, but to simply surrender Bangzi country like this, making them unable to hold their heads up in front of other countries in the future – who would be happy with that?
On the private jet.
"Oh dear, General Han!"
Seeing more and more scolding, with only a small portion praising his actions, Han Yibang was furious. He beckoned to the burly man in military uniform beside him and said, "Quick, quick, log into my account."
"Let's curse them together!"
"Damn it, they are still citizens of Bangzi country, but everything I'm doing is for Bangzi country!"
As Han Yibang argued with the citizens of Bangzi country under his post, he completely pushed this matter to another level of heat.
More and more citizens of Bangzi country became aware of this incident, and eventually, it wasn't just the citizens of Bangzi country who knew.
Countries all over Blue Star became aware of this event.
At this moment, countless media outlets from various countries, upon catching wind of Han Yibang's movements, rushed to the airport.
This was so they could be the first to interview him the moment he disembarked.
Meanwhile.
"Han Yibang's actions are undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation!"
John Clisson of the Beautiful Country also posted an update after noticing this post.
Following John Clisson's update, other countries responded by following his call.
"From now on, we will cease all social interactions with Bangzi country. As a subordinate nation, it is not worthy of interacting with our country."
"Han Yibang's actions clearly disregard the citizens of Bangzi country. This is a dereliction of duty as a leader!"
"Submitting to Da Xia, I dare say this will be the most erroneous decision Han Yibang has ever made!"
...
Leaders of various countries posted updates, and without exception, all of them were criticizing Han Yibang.
This applied to countries that were friendly with the Beautiful Country and those that had no dealings with it.
After all!
In a sense, Han Yibang had lowered the status and standing of their leaders.
Only a handful of countries offered warm congratulations for Han Yibang's decision.
And these were only countries that were extremely friendly with Da Xia.
"Do I need their criticism for the decisions I make?"
Han Yibang, who was engrossed in arguing with the netizens of Bangzi country, saw the updates posted by the leaders of various countries and his face turned extremely ashen.
"Who do they think they are? A bunch of short-sighted fellows!"
"Mr. Han, is there a possibility that your decision is flawed?" the burly man in military uniform said tentatively after a moment of silence.
"Otherwise, why would so many people oppose it?"
"How is that possible!"
Han Yibang retorted angrily, "How can my decision be wrong!"
"But..."
The burly man in military uniform added, "Many country media outlets are already waiting for us at the airport."
"What are your plans when we arrive?"
"If you can't provide a convincing reason, the citizens of Bangzi country won't buy it."
"Even..."
The burly man didn't finish his sentence, but Han Yibang clearly understood.
If public outrage in Bangzi country was truly incited, replacing the leader was not an impossible outcome.
"They wouldn't dare!"
Han Yibang's eyes flickered, then seemed to reach into his embrace.
He revealed a smile and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely support my decision!"
"Not only them, but countries all over the world will also consider my decision to be brilliant."
"Because I am leading Bangzi country to another level!"
"A level that no country in the world has anticipated!"
"If this succeeds, perhaps Bangzi country can rival the five major powers in the future!"
