Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"What?! The Dragon people actually refused to hand over those technologies?!"

"Are those damn yellow-skinned people crazy?"

When Joseph heard the news reported by Shelov, he was stunned at first, and then roared angrily.

As the leader of the Bear Country and the highest leader in the world, few people dare to say no to him.

He once was very confident that he didn't need to tell Longguo explicitly, he just needed to give Longguo a little nudge, and Longguo would obediently offer the new technology to please him.

Who would have known that Longguo would actually give up on himself just for the so-called "national dignity".

This was totally unbearable for Joseph, who had always been self-centered!

Not only from an emotional perspective.

If they could obtain the manufacturing technology of infrared-guided weapons, they could publicize that they had officially surpassed the West in high technology.

There is no doubt that the international reputation of the Bear Country will be greatly enhanced.

Those countries that are still wavering between the two levels will also be more inclined to the leadership of the Bear Country!

But unfortunately, this seemingly easy thing was messed up!

"Damn you barbarians from the East!"

"Don't these Orientals always claim to be pragmatic? Why did their attitude take a 180-degree turn this time?"

"We, the Bear Country, have actually provided over 140 industrial aids to help them industrialize. Is all this not as valuable as the illusory 'national dignity'?!"

"Without our assistance, it would be basically impossible for them to industrialize a backward agricultural country like Longguo with their weak industrial capacity!"

"What on earth are these Dragon people thinking?"

Joseph became more and more excited as he spoke, his entire face turning purple, and his palms slammed the heavy desk, making a loud "bang" sound.

"Comrade Joseph, please calm down and take care of yourself!"

Seeing Joseph's rage, Shelov stepped forward and tried to persuade him.

Shelov did not expect this result.

Logically speaking, Dragon Country is in great need of Bear Country now, both in terms of national construction and military.

Who would have thought that Dragon Country would dare to directly reject Bear Country just for a few harmless technologies?

It seems that this group of people really underestimated the national self-esteem of the Dragon people.

However, Shelov could understand the people of Longguo a little.

As the chief of the Russian Security Bureau, he is also well-versed in the history of Dragon Country.

A hundred years ago, after the West blasted open the door of Longguo with its powerful ships and cannons, Longguo lost its backbone and dignity and was constantly humiliated by other countries.

Now that the new Dragon Kingdom has finally been established, they naturally don’t want to be the same as before.

"Dear Comrade Joseph, I have an immature proposal. Perhaps... if we absolutely must obtain Dragon Country's new technology, could we be a little more tactful?"

"We won't use coercion to acquire these technologies, but rather exchange them."

"For example, we could exchange the MiG-15 production line for infrared guidance technology... In this way, Longguo would benefit both in terms of appearance and in practice, and would probably agree to our request..."

"What? Comrade Sherov, if I hadn't seen you sacrifice an eye on the battlefield for the victory of our country, I would have seriously suspected that you had actually committed treason!"

Hearing this, a sinister light flashed in Joseph's eyes, and then he said coldly.

"Trading our Bear Country's most advanced MiG-15 for Dragon Country's technology? What are you thinking?"

"Comrade Joseph, this is not my opinion alone, but the conclusion I reached after discussing it with Comrade Kalashnikov."

When Shelov was stared at by Joseph, he shuddered all over, then he spoke bravely.

"Although the Dragon Kingdom has achieved a temporary victory on the battlefield in North Korea, the United States' air force advantage is something they cannot compete with."

"Infrared guided weapons cannot deal with F86 and B29 bombers flying at high altitudes. Only our MiG-15 can fight them."

"In order to keep the United States on the peninsula and continue to weaken it, we must provide Longguo with this weapon and production technology."

"This technology was originally going to be handed over to Longguo. Now we are using it to exchange for these three new technologies. In fact, we are making a profit..."

Sherov finished speaking and then added another sentence.

"Besides, what we're doing is, in Longguo's words, 'providing timely assistance'. Not only can we successfully acquire new technology, but we can also gain the goodwill of the Longguo people. Why not do it..."

Hearing this, Joseph's anger subsided a little. He sat back on his sofa and closed his eyes slightly.

He seemed to be considering Sherov's proposal.

But after a moment, Joseph said coldly.

"Comrade Sherov, you may be right."

"But I cannot accept your opinion!"

"Moreover, from today onwards, all aid plans to Dragon Country will be cancelled!"

"All the machines and experts previously provided to China must also be withdrawn!"

"Comrade Joseph, this..."

Upon hearing this, Shelov was stunned.

He also didn't expect that Joseph would directly issue the order to withdraw reinforcements in such a short time.

But then Shelov thought about it for a moment.

Then I understood the meaning behind Joseph's command.

The current status of the Bear Country is different from the past. It is one of the two largest economies in the world. Everything it does is watched by countless eyes of other countries.

If today the Bear Country is disobeyed by the Dragon Country and does not respond.

So what should we do if Russia’s younger brothers in the west, or even its many member states, follow suit in the future?

If people’s morale is low, it will be hard to lead the team!

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Joseph is, he must strike back against Long Guo’s disobedience with thunder and lightning, making an example of him!

After reaching this conclusion, Shelov no longer had any confusion.

Although he felt that the decision Joseph made today would probably have immeasurable impact on the future.

But he still resolutely turned around, left Joseph's office, and went to faithfully issue the order to withdraw the reinforcements...
