I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

The bald eagle family acted swiftly, with NASA releasing its ten-year plan.

"After careful consideration and scientific verification, we have decided to achieve our goal of lunar colonization within the next five years and Mars colonization within the next ten years. Each year for the next ten years, we will invest at least 100 billion Eagle Coins in lunar and Mars colonization projects. We welcome talented individuals from relevant fields around the world to join us and work together for the future of humanity. We will offer you unparalleled salaries and working environment. If you bring relevant achievements, we will provide a one-time reward of no less than 1000 million Eagle Coins. If the achievements are significant, the reward has no upper limit. We will also address personal and family issues such as nationality, ensuring you can work and live happily with your family."

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand the message in this announcement: the US wants to use money to lure talented individuals in relevant fields to join them with their achievements. Whether these achievements are personal or collective doesn't matter; as long as they are achievements that the US needs, they will pay. In reality, this is a disguised way of encouraging these talented individuals to betray their country.

It's no exaggeration to say that if this had happened ten years ago, many people would have joined the U.S. military with their research achievements for money and citizenship; there were far too many examples of this in the past.

It's hard to say about others, but Yang Chen's employees certainly wouldn't take confidential information and defect to the White Eagle just for money.

Firstly, they are not short of money at all; the treatment Yang Chen gave them was enough to ensure that he and his family could enjoy a luxurious life.

Secondly, Yang Chen controlled their passports and other documents.

Thirdly, Yang Chen has deployed smiling robots all over the world. Anyone who actually takes secrets to defect to the United States or other countries is simply courting death.

As long as Yang Chen's employees are not bribed, the Bald Eagle's strategy will not be effective.

but.

The Bald Eagle's announcement still caused quite a stir worldwide.

but.

In the past, netizens from various countries would fawn over the United States, especially those from countries like Japan and South Korea, who would practically kneel and lick the boots of their "father" in front of everyone.

But things are different now; netizens from all over the world are mocking the bald eagle.

A Japanese netizen commented: "It's always the same routine. Whenever Yang Chen or China has some new technology or product, the US follows suit with PowerPoint presentations and plans. Whether it works or not, the results won't be seen for years, so it doesn't affect the current government. After using this tactic so many times, nobody will believe it anymore."

A South Korean netizen commented: Anyway, we and China are both countries within the Chinese civilization sphere. If China immigrates to the moon, they must take us with them. They made us their vassal state back then, so they have to assume the responsibility of a suzerain state and cannot abandon us.

A netizen from the "White-headed Eagle" (a derogatory term for China) commented: "They've developed a sixth-generation fighter jet, and we're just producing PowerPoint presentations. They want to colonize the moon, and we're still just producing PowerPoint presentations. If they develop some advanced aircraft soon, we'll definitely still be producing PowerPoint presentations. China spends its money on national development, while we spend it on causing trouble everywhere. The problem wasn't apparent for the past few decades, but the gap has finally become clear in the last ten. Our country is doomed. I hope other countries will pull back from the brink and not follow our example. They must learn from China's model; that's the development model humanity should have. Please, you must wish us happiness!"
A German netizen commented: "Damn the bald eagles! They've been harming us allies for so long. Now they're failing themselves, yet they refuse to face the problems and try to deceive the world. It seems it's really time to move all our industries to China. We're not satisfied with just Taicang; we want the whole of Suzhou, and we want an airport built for Suzhou. If the local government agrees, the cost of the airport can be donated by German companies. As an entrepreneur, I'm fed up with all this so-called environmentalism, animal rights, and political correctness. What we need is the business environment and a huge, fair market like China's. If large numbers of Chinese people immigrate to the moon, I hope we can be allowed to immigrate to China."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Friends from Germany, you're asking too much! Even if China accepts immigrants, it will definitely prioritize our country. After all, we've always had a good relationship with them, and we're rich and willing to spend money. As for the Bald Eagle, haha... allow me a moment to laugh, you guys should just stick to playing with your PowerPoint presentations."

Actually, you can understand why the US left its fifth nuclear missile for Yang Chen's launch vehicle just by looking at the comments from netizens around the world. They really can't afford to lose. They have clearly lost their hegemonic status this time.

Whether they admit it or not, and no matter how much they struggle, from now on, people all over the world will no longer regard the bald eagle as the sole overlord.

Just as netizens around the world were mocking the bald eagle for playing "PPT technology" again, online platforms and newspapers around the world received a "top secret document".

It was called top secret, but that was just because Yang Chen hadn't directly revealed his identity.

This document contains video and audio recordings of discussions between NASA and high-ranking military officials regarding leaving behind a fifth nuclear missile to destroy Yang Chen's launch vehicle, as well as video footage of the radicals forcibly pressing the launch button at the end.

Once this top-secret document was exposed, it quickly ignited global public opinion, with people from all countries launching a barrage of criticism against the United States. Even at the United Nations meeting, representatives from various countries demanded a reasonable explanation and remedial measures from the United States.

If it were any other matter, the lackeys and sycophants might have spoken up for the bald eagle, but this time it was a crime against humanity. No one dared to speak up for the bald eagle, otherwise they would be exonerating the crime against humanity, which is tantamount to condoning the inhumane behavior. This is a huge accusation that no one dared to put on their own head.

Russia, which had been bullied to the point of exhaustion by the bald eagle, finally seized an opportunity. The Russian representative, in front of representatives from various countries, sternly questioned the bald eagle representative.

"We used to think that the bald eagle was merely pursuing hegemony, which could be explained by the idea that all humans, when they become powerful enough, will have such thoughts. However, it is clear that we were all wrong. They are not hegemonic at all; they are fundamentally anti-human. They do not treat the people of other countries as human beings, nor even their own people. Here, on behalf of all the kind-hearted people in the world, I want to ask: How do you plan to handle this matter? You must give a clear answer, otherwise you will not be able to explain to the people of the world."

Once the Russian representative started, other national representatives immediately followed suit, venting their pent-up grievances and leaving the American representative speechless. They finally got some of the revenge they had suffered at the hands of the American over the years.

After all the representatives had vented, the bald eagle representative spoke with a heavy heart.

"First, I need to emphasize that a small group of radicals cannot represent the voice of all the people of the Bald Eagle. We are also good human beings; it is only a very small number of radicals who have committed radical acts. Second, we have already arrested those radicals and they will be tried on charges of crimes against humanity, etc. We will keep you informed of any further developments. Finally, I want to reiterate that every country has good people and bad people. It is unfair and unreasonable to condemn an ​​entire country because of the bad deeds of a few. Thank you."

The Russian representative immediately said, "Very good! Since you also believe they are guilty of crimes against humanity, then they cannot be tried by a single country, but by all of humanity. Therefore, I strongly urge you to send them to the International Court of Justice for trial, and for representatives of other countries to select the presiding judge to ensure a fair and impartial trial. What do you think, representatives of all countries?"

The Russian family also has its underlings, especially those countries that have been bullied by the US. The representatives quickly expressed their support for the Russian representative's statement. "We support the Russian representative's proposal. Anyone who disagrees is trying to protect criminals against humanity."

“If the Bald Eagles refuse to hand over the people to the International Court of Justice for trial, we will vote against any proposals they make in the future.”

"So are we!"

"And we..."

"From now on, don't cooperate with the Bald Eagle on any proposals, lest they fail to pass our scrutiny."

In the past, it was always the bald eagle that was aggressive towards other countries; now they are experiencing what it's like to be aggressively pressured by other countries.

The key point is that their status and strength are not what they used to be. In the past, they might not have cared about the thoughts of these small countries at all, but now it's different. Their influence is declining day by day, and they have to take even the attitudes of small countries seriously.

The representative from the Bald Eagle said helplessly, "I understand everyone's feelings, but I cannot give you an answer right now. I will report back to my family, and I will let you know once I receive a clear reply. Thank you."

The video of the meeting was quickly spread online, sparking heated discussions on online platforms around the world.

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council used to argue with each other, but this time they surprisingly reached a consensus.

Indian netizens: We strongly demand that the United States hand over the inhumane elements. They must be punished in the most severe way, preferably with the death penalty, or at least life imprisonment.

A South Korean netizen commented: "This time I agree with what Brother India said. Although the U.S. is our bodyguard, we will not favor them on matters of principle. We will do what needs to be done and will never tolerate them."

A South Vietnamese netizen commented: "Brother, I couldn't agree more. I also think this must be dealt with strictly. If we let them get away with this, next time something threatens the safety of all humanity, they'll dare to do unimaginable things that disregard human safety. We can't always be lucky enough to avoid disasters; we can't leave the future of humanity to luck."

A netizen commented: "I used to dislike you guys, but this time your suggestions are very correct, and I agree with you. Although the bald eagle has been trying to curry favor with us, wanting us to fight against Russia, we will absolutely not collude with the bald eagle on matters of global safety."

A netizen nicknamed "Tu Erha" commented: "If those extremists escape punishment this time, or if the punishment is too lenient, it will be an insult to all of humanity. Bald Eagles, you need to think carefully about what you should do; don't stand against humanity."

This wave of public opinion has caused the already weaker Bald Eagle to suffer huge reputational damage, and they have completely lost their position as the leader of the planet.

With the world condemning the United States, its top brass convened a crisis communication meeting.

Trump roared at NASA and military leaders.

"Foolish! Do you know how foolish you are? You all know Yang Chen's micro-robots are ubiquitous, so why did you dare say and do those things? I've made it clear long ago that our current policy is to shrink our defenses, return to our homeland, and stop trying to spread influence around the world. Don't you understand? Or do you understand but don't agree with my policy? When I ran for office, I chanted the slogan 'MAGA,' and you bunch of idiots still don't understand the meaning of those letters?"

NASA and military leaders were so humiliated by the criticism that they couldn't lift their heads and had no suitable excuse to respond, so they could only remain silent.

"Let me reiterate: our policy is strategic retrenchment and a return to our homeland. Not only will our military withdraw, but our manufacturing industry will also return. Don't do anything that goes against my policy for the sake of empty titles. Look at China—has it ever sought empty titles? Has it hindered their development? They are now the most developed country in the world, bar none. I suggest you old fogies take some time to visit China, see their infrastructure, and observe the spirit of their people. They don't need so-called influence; it doesn't affect their development at all. So, forget about those useless world-leader mentality. Understand?"

Everyone nodded, but remained silent.

"I believe you now understand my policy, and I'll see how you behave afterward. Also, handing those extremists over to the International Criminal Court will let the world know that we are also good human beings, and we have zero tolerance for crimes against humanity. This will help salvage our image to some extent. Haniyeh, Mark, are you sure you're okay with this?"

NASA Director Mark Duffy immediately replied, "No problem, we will follow your orders exactly."

Hania quickly added, "The military is fine too."

Trump nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's good. We'll announce it to the public later, handing these criminals over to the International Criminal Court for trial. Don't worry too much, we control the International Criminal Court, so the sentences won't be too severe."

Everyone nodded but remained silent. If the boss said to do it this way, then it was done. At this point, disagreeing with the boss would likely mean early retirement.

White House press conference.

The spokesperson read out the decision made by the Bald Eagle family in front of journalists from around the world.

"The Bald Eagle is a kind and friendly country, and its people are also kind and friendly. The emergence of a few scoundrels among us is our misfortune and our responsibility. We will not shirk our responsibility and will handle this matter seriously. After careful consideration, we have decided to hand over all those involved in the video and audio recordings to the International Criminal Court for trial, and have agreed that other countries will be allowed to select the judges and juries. Whatever the outcome, we will unconditionally accept and support it. Thank you all." (End of Chapter)
