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

Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Joseph's lips.

"Your generosity is impressive, Comrade Howell."

At this time, senior military officers in the Kremlin conference room were leaning over the map, marking troop assembly points and attack routes with red pencils.

Defense Minister General Bulganin reported to Joseph with a stack of documents in his hand.

"The 16th Armored Division and the 43rd Infantry Division have received orders to depart for Chita within three days."

"The 2nd and 3rd Airborne Brigades will be redeployed to the Trans-Baikal region next week."

Joseph nodded with satisfaction and turned to the phone.

"Did you hear that, Howell?"

"My generals have already begun to act."

"We won't be idle here either,"

Howell's voice came through the airwaves, trembling with excitement.

"I have ordered the CIA to increase its intelligence gathering efforts on the Dragon Nation."

"Our new Seventh Fleet will increase the frequency of patrols in the Southeast Strait and the South China Sea."

"At the same time, we will immediately put pressure on various countries in the Middle East to cut off the oil supply to Longguo."

He paused, a hint of vindictive pleasure in his voice.

"Without energy, their factories will stop functioning and their armies will be unable to move."

“Without the support of the Middle East, Longguo will become an isolated island in Asia!”

"Don't forget the supplies,"

Joseph added, running his finger over the map.

"We can impose economic blockade on Dragon Country through White Elephant Country and Pakistan."

"Without raw materials and markets, their factories will soon be reduced to scrap metal."

Howell's laughter came through the phone.

"Joseph, I admire the way you think."

“We can also freeze their assets in the international market and cut off their sources of foreign exchange.”

A cold light flashed in Joseph's eyes.

"It's time they paid the price for their arrogance and betrayal."

In the conference room, Beria leaned forward and whispered in Joseph's ear.

"My intelligence network has begun operating within the Dragon Nation. You can always find out everything you want to know, Comrade Joseph!"

Joseph nodded and then spoke into the phone.

"We also need to isolate Longguo on the international stage."

"Since they have rejected our reasonable advice, I have announced their removal from the Red Front. What can you do about the Blue Star United Congress?"

"We can push a series of proposals against Dragon Nation at the Blue Star United Congress,"

Howell responded.

"Based on their so-called 'aggressive behavior' on the peninsula and in the South China Sea."

“It might not get through, but it’s enough to keep them busy.”

"At the same time, we will persuade our allies to sever diplomatic relations with the Dragon Nation."

"Perfect," Joseph muttered, drumming his fingertips on the table. "Military deterrence, economic blockade, diplomatic isolation."

"We will apply pressure from three directions simultaneously to force them to surrender!"

"Also, regarding the mysterious J-20 fighter jet,"

Howell's voice suddenly grew serious.

“We need to make sure they can’t mass-produce it.”

"If necessary, we can even consider...preventive strikes."

Joseph's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Let's get our regiments into position first, Comrade Howell."

"The Dragon Nation will soon understand that no one in this world can simultaneously be enemies of two superpowers without paying a heavy price..."

……

A week later.

Dragon Kingdom.

The atmosphere in the Central Assembly Hall was solemn. More than a hundred senior officials sat on mahogany chairs, their eyes all fixed on the rostrum.

Mr. Lu stood on the stage, with several wrinkles on the document in his hand.

His voice was deep and clear, echoing through the hall.

"Comrades, the situation is clear."

"The Bear Country has removed our country from the Red Front and mobilized fifteen corps, 1.2 million troops, to the Far Eastern border, forming a crescent-shaped encirclement from Vladivostok to Ulaanbaatar."

"At the same time, the US has ordered the Seventh Fleet to increase the frequency of patrols in the Southeast Strait and the South China Sea."

He paused and scanned the venue with a sharp gaze.

"What's more serious is that the economic lockdown has begun."

"The Eagle Sauce is putting pressure on Middle Eastern countries to cut off our oil supply."

"The Russian bear is using the White Elephant Country and Pakistan to economically contain us."

“The two countries also plan to freeze our assets in the international market and cut off our source of foreign exchange.”

The venue was completely silent, and one could almost hear the heavy breathing of the crowd.

Many people looked pale, and some quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with handkerchiefs.

A low murmur of discussion broke out in the meeting hall.

Some people pounded the table, some shook their heads, and some clenched their fists until their knuckles turned white.

No wonder they are so nervous.

After all, at this point, facing the joint suppression of two superpowers at the same time is not an easy task to deal with.

If we don't handle this properly, we might end up repeating the situation we faced decades ago...

See the expressions of everyone at the scene.

The chief slowly put down the documents in his hand, lit a cigarette leisurely, took a deep puff, and the smoke swirled up under the light.

Instead of being nervous, his face had a faint smile on it. His eyes swept over the senior officials in the conference hall who had tense faces.

“Comrades, the situation is not that bad.”

The chief's tone was so relaxed, as if he was talking about today's weather, which immediately made many people relax.

"At least compared to before the founding of the country, the Dragon Nation has the ability to resist."

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the podium, looking calm and composed.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall eased slightly. Several ministers who had originally looked pale breathed a sigh of relief, and their straight backs also relaxed unconsciously.

"The joint suppression by the Russians and the Americans is indeed fierce, but that doesn't mean we have no power to fight back."

"Thanks to the fertilizers manufactured by Comrade Fang Yu, we are now self-sufficient in food."

The chief flicked the ash off his cigarette, turned his gaze to Fang Yu who was sitting in the front row, and smiled approvingly.

“Industrial problems have also made great progress thanks to his flash furnace technology.”

"You know, without these two things, we might be facing a crisis of national extinction today, not just an economic blockade by a few countries."

After hearing these words, the originally tense atmosphere eased further.

Mr. Lu nodded slightly, pushed up his glasses, and wrote something in his notebook.

There was even a hint of a smile on the face of Lin Hu, Chairman of the Military Commission.

"In the military,"

The chief continued, a hint of pride in his tone.

"We just defeated the Eagle Sauce in the north. Even if the Russian army of a million comes to our border, they won't dare to act rashly."

He waved his hand as if to shoo away a pesky fly.

"I'm afraid he did this to cooperate with the Eagle Sauce and trap the Dragon Kingdom to death."

The chief stopped and looked out the window. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the thick curtains onto his body, giving him a golden edge.

"As long as we advance steadily, they will probably withdraw after a few years of siege if they see no results."

When he said this, his tone was as relaxed as if he was talking about a light rain that would end sooner or later.

In the conference hall, the originally solemn atmosphere had mostly dissipated.

Those senior officials who were worried about the fate of the country just now now looked much more relaxed, and some even began to talk in low voices.

The chief turned around, his expression suddenly becoming more serious.

"It's just that other problems are easy to solve."

"But the biggest problem is actually energy..."

He took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"Although we have several large oil fields in Longguo, they are difficult to exploit and our oil reserves are far less than those in the Middle East and Russia."

"It's fine for peacetime use, but if war breaks out, I'm afraid there will be a supply shortage."

When he said this, his tone remained calm, as if he was discussing an ordinary production issue rather than a major crisis concerning the survival of the country.

The entire venue fell silent again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the leader.

"But," the chief smiled slightly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes, "I believe the solution lies in this room." He turned his gaze to Fang Yu who was sitting not far away, with a bit of expectation and trust in his eyes.

"Xiao Fang, you are the industrial leader of our Dragon Country. Do you have any good ideas to solve the energy problem?"

There was a hint of joking in the chief's tone, but everyone present knew that this was no joke.

Fang Yu became the focus of the whole audience, and those originally relaxed faces became serious again.

After all, if the energy problem is not solved, no matter how much food and industrial base we have, it will be difficult to support a protracted war.
