Some sharp-eyed observers recognized the national flag displayed on the colossal vessel and immediately collapsed to the ground, stunned.
"The Dragon Country's sky-space warship… how did it get here! Is this a formal declaration of war on the M Country? Has the M Country's capital fallen? Are they surrendering publicly?"
Others also noticed the massive sky-space warship overhead. Amidst the discussion, they raised their cameras high, vying to spread this explosive news.
For a time, the internet was flooded with claims of Dragon Country forces at their gates and the fall of the M Country government, fueling rampant speculation.
The M Country's officialdom, seeing this, swiftly issued a clarification. President Saloyan Primo personally announced that the two countries were allies, and that Dragon Country had sent aid experts to resolve the M Country's nuclear power plant accident.
Jing Mingqiu sensed that behind this wave of public opinion, several foreign powers were fanning the flames, attempting to instigate a full-scale war between Dragon Country and the M Country.
Jing Mingqiu had no intention of letting these scummy individuals have their way. He decisively abandoned his thought of simply watching the show, and with a group of professional engineers, clad in specialized mechs, descended from the sky, landing steadily before Saloyan Primo.
"Mr. President, we received your plea for help. For the sake of the M Country's citizens, and all other living beings on Blue Star, we will provide the maximum possible assistance within our capabilities to minimize the damage caused by the nuclear power plant accident."
At this moment, Jing Mingqiu represented the Dragon Country. He did not continue to mock Saloyan Primo, but extended his right hand, showcasing to the world what it meant to be a refined gentleman.
Saloyan Primo, a seasoned politician, also displayed practiced acting skills and eagerly stepped forward, "Professor Jing, on behalf of all the people of the M Country, we thank you for your assistance."
Amidst the continuous flashes of cameras, Jing Mingqiu and Saloyan Primo clasped hands, presenting a picture of camaraderie, with no hint of the earlier animosity between them.
After some pleasantries, Jing Mingqiu cut straight to the chase.
"There's no time to waste. I am prepared. As soon as the aid contract is signed, I can immediately dispatch personnel to repair the nuclear power plants that have begun to spiral out of control."
Sticking his neck out was a gamble, and retracting it was also a gamble. Saloyan Primo was already prepared to be branded a historical villain. He directly presented the contract that both sides had negotiated.
"Professor Jing, repairing nuclear power plants not only requires considerable manpower and military force but also involves immense danger. We cannot let you work for nothing. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."
Jing Mingqiu understood Saloyan Primo's subtle intentions but had no desire to expose them. Paper could not wrap fire, and these treaties would be publicized on the Dragon Country's official website for everyone to see.
"Since Mr. President has said so, it would be too sentimental for me to refuse." Jing Mingqiu took the treaty, scanned it quickly, confirmed it was as he had requested, and then, taking out his own pen, signed his name with a flourish.
Saloyan Primo followed suit, signing his name as the President of the M Country on the "Dragon Country Aid Treaty."
The "Dragon Country Aid Treaty" was in duplicate, with each side keeping one copy.
After receiving the treaty, Jing Mingqiu waved his hand. The Dragon Country engineers, who had been prepared, along with their intelligent robot squads, high-profilely crossed the national border, entered the M Country's damaged nuclear power plants, and began repair work.
"Clang clang, bang bang!"
Before signing the treaty, Jing Mingqiu had deliberately flown a circle around the M Country. With the system's help, he had devised entirely different, yet maximally effective, renovation plans for each nuclear power plant.
Soon, the situation at these power plants stabilized. The previously exploding plants had their radioactive hazards minimized through the cleanup by specialized equipment.
While Jing Mingqiu was busy directing engineers to repair the nuclear power plants, Saloyan Primo was not idle either.
They were busily transporting various ores and top talents from different fields to the Dragon Country via giant cargo ships.
Concurrently, they were trying their best to withdraw all M Country citizens from their investments in Hawaii and were frantically destroying everything on Hawaii, preparing to leave Jing Mingqiu with nothing but a barren wasteland.
The M Country official in charge of talent management looked at the large group of top talents boarding the giant cruise ships, a cold glint in his eyes. "Mr. President, are we just going to let these people enter the Dragon Country like this?"
"Dragon Country's technology is already very advanced. If they receive the help of these top talents, the M Country will be forever trampled underfoot by the Dragon Country."
"Don't worry," Saloyan Primo gently shook his head. "Dragon Country only wants these people to be under house arrest, to slow down our research and development. They don't know if there are any spies among them, and they wouldn't dare to use them."
"That's true, but to be safe, it's more reliable to kill them!"
As he spoke, the official made a throat-slitting gesture below his neck.
"Killing them is certainly necessary," Saloyan Primo's eyes also flashed with a cold light. "Those who have always shown pro-Dragon Country sentiments, like Bradley Lev, Ferguson Joissto, and Imbi Barnett."
"And also those like Mao Liangyan, Yi Chun Gong, who are in Dragon Country or are Chinese. Once they reach Dragon Country, they have a high probability of gaining Dragon Country's trust and continuing their research, helping Dragon Country become stronger."
"After the ships leave M Country waters, find a way to deal with them. To avoid giving Dragon Country an excuse, it would be best if it appears to be accidental death."
All seasoned politicians, Saloyan Primo had no intention of hiding it from Dragon Country from the start. He simply didn't want to give Dragon Country an excuse to retaliate.
So what if everyone knew I did it? As long as there's no evidence, you can't nail me.
After all, who knows if this wasn't a deliberate act of self-harm to frame me?
"Mr. President, please rest assured. I have done this many times and can guarantee a clean job. However," the official paused, "after losing these top professors in various fields, our technological research and development capabilities will be greatly reduced."
"Mr. President? Do you have any suitable solutions?"
Saloyan Primo's face showed fanaticism. "You don't need to worry about this at all."
"Lord Gus has said that he will provide us with a large amount of alien black technology, preparing to raise our technological level to the point of interstellar immigration in the shortest possible time."
Hearing this, the M Country official's eyes also lit up. "Really? That's great!"
"Dragon Country is so arrogant now. Once we all immigrate, we will directly detonate all nuclear bombs and destroy Dragon Country and this planet together!"
...
While the M Country was laughing wildly, Jing Mingqiu, who had just returned to the sky-space warship, got into a heated argument with Dragon Country's top leader.
"Mingqiu, what you're doing is too dangerous. Those who are not of our kind have different hearts! Not to mention, these people were forced here, and they already harbor resentment towards us in their hearts!"
