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

The hall of the Blue Star United Conference was brightly lit, with hundreds of representatives from various countries sitting in semicircular seats, and an invisible tension filled the air.

Smith, the representative of the United States, was standing on a high podium, wearing a neat suit and a serious expression. He waved his right hand in the air from time to time and spoke in an aggressive tone.

"We formally declare once again that the Hawaiian Islands have been an integral part of the United States' territory since 1898!"

His voice echoed throughout the venue through the microphone.

"Dragon warships have recently appeared frequently in waters less than 200 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor. This is a blatant provocation to the sovereignty of the United States and a serious threat to the international order!"

There was silence in the conference hall, and representatives from different countries had different expressions.

Some representatives from Western countries showed expressions of approval and nodded from time to time.

Most of the representatives from Asian, African and Latin American countries had complicated expressions. Some lowered their heads to read documents, while others whispered to each other.

Sitting in the third row of the Longguo delegation, Chief Representative Zhao Hongfei looked calm, writing something slowly in his notebook with a pen in his hand.

He was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, with a calm face. He was in his early fifties, and his eyes showed the calmness of someone who had experienced many hardships.

"I must remind the Dragon State Representative,"

Smith continued, his tone becoming increasingly forceful.

"The Pacific has been the United States' sphere of influence since the end of World War II."

"This provocative behavior of the Dragon warship must stop immediately, otherwise the Eagle Sauce country will take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty and security!"

The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became tense.

Smith paused, looked down at the conference hall, his eyes deliberately resting on the Dragon Country delegation, and a proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As a responsible major country, the United States has always been committed to maintaining world peace and stability."

"However, we have to remind the Dragon Nation from the perspective of strength and status that in the Pacific region, any action that challenges the interests of the Eagle Sauce Nation will pay the price—"

"Excuse me for interrupting you, Mr. Smith."

Zhao Hongfei suddenly pressed the speaking button on the table. His voice was calm and powerful, and it was clearly heard throughout the venue.

Smith was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting his speech to be interrupted.

Zhao Hongfei slowly stood up, looked around the venue, and then looked at Smith sharply.

"First, I want to correct a fact. The Dragon Navy's routine ocean-going training is conducted on the internationally recognized high seas and is fully in line with international law."

"Our warships were at least 300 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor, far beyond the territorial waters and exclusive economic zones of any country."

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it revealed an unquestionable power.

"Secondly, the idea of ​​whose 'sphere of influence' the Pacific Ocean belongs to is probably a product of Cold War thinking."

“The Pacific Ocean belongs to all the countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. It is not the private domain of any one country.”

Smith's face turned livid, and he grabbed the microphone, trying to regain control of the situation.

"Mr. Zhao, I would like to remind you that the United States has the most powerful navy and air force in the world. From the perspective of strength and status—"

Zhao Hongfei interrupted him coldly, with a hint of disdain in his voice.

"Mr. Smith, with all due respect."

"The current Eagle Sauce is probably not qualified to say in front of the Dragon Kingdom that you are speaking to the Dragon Kingdom from a position of strength."

This sentence exploded like a bomb in the conference hall, causing a burst of surprised whispers.

Over the years, representatives from various countries have become accustomed to the aggressiveness of the Eagle Sauce representatives, and very few dare to challenge them so directly.

Smith's face turned from ashen to pale, and the microphone in his hand was almost crushed by him.

No one in the conference hall was paying attention to him anymore; all eyes were focused on the calm and composed representative from Dragon Country.

"Long Country is willing to coexist peacefully and develop together with all countries, including the United States."

Zhao Hongfei's tone softened slightly, but remained firm.

"However, we will never accept threats from any country using 'strength' and 'status'."

"The people of Longguo have stood up. We are no longer the sick man of East Asia who was at the mercy of others a hundred years ago."

A round of applause initiated by representatives from Asian, African and Latin American countries broke out in the conference hall, and more and more representatives from other countries joined in.

Smith stood awkwardly on the podium, at a loss as to what to do, and finally had to walk down the podium silently and return to his seat.

The chairman of the meeting quickly banged the gavel in an attempt to restore order in the meeting.

“Please be quiet! Delegates, please maintain order at this meeting!”

But the applause lasted for a full minute before gradually dying down.

A round of applause started by representatives from Asian, African and Latin American countries broke out in the conference hall, and more and more representatives from other countries joined in. Smith stood awkwardly on the podium, at a loss as to what to do. Finally, he had to walk down the podium silently and return to his seat.

Smith's face turned ashen in an instant, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, soaking his carefully styled hair.

His fingers tightened around the manuscript, the paper bunching up in his palm.

But he was speechless - every word Zhao Hongfei said was an irrefutable fact.

Two years ago, Howell and Joseph met secretly and signed a joint sanctions agreement against Longguo.

They were full of confidence and believed that the combination of the two superpowers would force the Dragon Kingdom to surrender.

However, they were proven wrong. Not only did China survive the sanctions, its GDP actually rose against the trend, even catching up with that of the Bear Country.

"Look at his face,"

The Baxi representative whispered to the Venezuelan representative, "It's like swallowing a frog."

"This is no joke,"

Weirui Nera's representative responded, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"If the Dragon Kingdom is truly capable of competing with the Eagle Navy..."

He didn't finish, but the meaning was self-evident.

Smith mechanically packed up his speech, his fingers trembling slightly.

He thought back to the national security meeting last month, where the Admiral had slammed the table in anger.

"Our satellites clearly saw their aircraft carrier formation, but we just couldn't locate it! It was like fighting a war with ghosts!"

He is a diplomat from the United States, and has negotiated with other countries from a position of strength countless times in his career.

This sentence is almost their standard diplomatic statement - "We remind you from the perspective of strength and status."

Every time this sentence is said, the other party is either angry, afraid, or has no choice but to accept it, but no one has ever dared to openly laugh at the absurdity of this sentence.

Until today, until the Dragon Country representative Zhao Hongfei said, "The Eagle Sauce has no right to speak to the Dragon Country. You are speaking to the Dragon Country from a position of strength."

The meeting continued, but Smith was distracted.

He looked towards the corner of the conference hall where representatives from a dozen small African and Asian countries were sitting.

In the past, representatives of these countries always carefully observed the expressions of representatives from the United States and the Bear Country, as if they were judging the direction of the wind.

But now, their eyes frequently turned to the Dragon Country delegation, with new hopes flashing in their eyes.

This is too dangerous, Smith thought.

The international order that the Western world spent decades building is collapsing at a visible pace.

“How are you, Mr. Representative?”

The assistant asked softly, handing over a glass of water.

Smith took the cup woodenly, his eyes blank.

He was wondering how to report today's diplomatic disaster to President Howell?

How to explain why the navy that the Eagle Country is so proud of is completely helpless against the Dragon Country warships that intruded into the waters near Xia Weiyi?
