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

Joseph's eyes lit up with excitement. He could even imagine the scene where those European countries that had long been enemies of the Russian Bear fell one by one, and the Eagle Sauce was driven out of Europe and had to retreat to the isolated island of America.

The thought almost made him tremble, as decades-long dreams seemed to be within reach.

However, Mr. Lu's reaction was beyond his expectations.

The leader of Dragon Country just shook his head slightly, still with that calm smile on his face, but his eyes revealed determination.

"I'm afraid now is not the time to continue the attack, Comrade Joseph,"

Mr. Lu's tone was gentle but unquestionable.

"We have just won an important victory and need to consolidate it rather than risk expanding the scale of the war."

Joseph frowned; he had not expected to be rejected.

After all, in his view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the influence of Western countries in Europe in one fell swoop.

As a leader accustomed to being in control, he was slightly offended by this rejection.

But he quickly adjusted his expression and decided to change his strategy.

Maybe it's a question of profit distribution?

Perhaps the Dragon Nation felt that this war hadn't rewarded them enough?

"Comrade Lu,"

Joseph spoke slowly, his voice full of seduction.

"I understand that Longguo may be worried that it will not get the rewards it deserves for this action."

"But please listen to me, if Dragon is willing to support the Bear in liberating Europe, I can make major concessions."

He walked back to his seat, leaned forward, and lowered his voice as if he were about to share a great secret.

"I am willing to promise to hand over all of Russia's territories in Asia—Siberia, the Far East, and the Central Asian countries—to the management of the Dragon Kingdom."

Joseph's eyes were fixed on Mr. Lu, observing his reaction.

This proposal is almost equivalent to handing over all of Asia to the Dragon Kingdom in exchange for control of Europe.

In his view, this is a win-win proposal - the Dragon Country rules Asia, the Bear controls Europe, and the two major Red Front countries divide the world and jointly fight against the Eagle Sauce.

"From now on, the Dragon Kingdom will rule Asia in the East, and the Bear will occupy Europe in the West. They will not interfere with each other and will live in peace."

"We will always be brother nations, building a Red Front world together!"

Joseph finished speaking these words almost excitedly, and even stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to reach this historic agreement with President Lu immediately.

However, to his disappointment, President Lu slowly shook his head again, the determination in his eyes not diminishing at all.

"Comrade Joseph, your offer is very generous,"

Mr. Lu said calmly, without any sign of temptation in his voice.

"But Longguo does not aid Russia for territory or profit. Our assistance is based on the spirit of mutual assistance between brother countries, not expansionist ambitions."

Joseph's face looked a little gloomy.

He began to understand that Mr. Lu's refusal was not based on considerations of interests, but was based on some strategic thinking that he had not yet understood.

This confused and somewhat annoyed him.

For decades, he has been accustomed to achieving his goals by exchanging interests, but now, this method seems to be ineffective.

"So, what is Comrade Lu worried about?"

Joseph tried to keep his tone calm, even though his fingers were tapping unconsciously on the table.

“Don’t you think now is the best time to strike back at Western powers?”

Mr. Lu sighed softly, stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out the window at the view of Moscow, thought for a moment, and then turned to Joseph.

"In Dragon Country, we have an old saying: 'Don't chase a desperate enemy,'"

Mr. Lu's voice was soft but firm.

"It means not to force an already defeated enemy into a corner. When the enemy has nowhere to retreat, they often launch the most dangerous and frantic counterattacks."

Joseph's frown deepened.

He himself was a military strategist and understood this principle, but in his view, this was a good opportunity to completely crush the enemy.

"But the Eagle Sauce has now been defeated by us,"

Joseph retorted, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.

"Their confidence has been destroyed and their army has been routed. This is the perfect time for us to take over Europe in one fell swoop!"

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing a wisdom beyond his age.

"Comrade Joseph, victory has made you a little impatient."

"Please think about it. The Russians have just gone through a difficult and arduous war. The people are exhausted and resources are tight. What they need most now is not to expand the war, but to recuperate and restore national strength."

He walked slowly back to his seat, his tone becoming more serious.

"Also, if we continue the offensive, it's hard to say what extreme measures the Eagle Sauce will take. An enemy cornered is the most dangerous, especially one armed with mushroom bombs."

Joseph was silent.

Mr. Lu’s words touched upon a trace of worry in his heart.

Yes, the Eagles do have mushroom bombs, although the Russians do too, but a true all-out nuclear war would be a disaster for everyone.

But Joseph was not one to give up easily.

Decades of iron-fisted rule have cultivated his tough personality, and he is not used to listening to other people's advice, especially on major decisions that affect the fate of the country.

"Comrade Lu is being too cautious," Joseph said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. "If we retreat now, the Eagle Sauce will quickly regroup."

“They will learn from their mistakes and develop new weapons to fight us. Next time, we may not have such a good chance.”

Mr. Lu seemed to have anticipated Joseph's reaction.

His expression remained calm, his eyes revealing the patient understanding of an elder facing an anxious young man, although in fact Joseph was much older than him.

"Comrade Joseph, please recall history," President Lu said calmly. "How many times have seemingly victorious attacks ultimately led to disastrous consequences?"

"Napoleon's invasion of the Soviet Union and the shampooers' blitzkrieg tell us that overexpansion will only lead to its own collapse."

There was a flicker of hesitation in Joseph's eyes.

As a historian, he is well aware of these historical lessons.

But deep down, the temptation to destroy the Western capitalist camp in one fell swoop remains strong.

This opportunity may only come once in a lifetime.

"I understand your concerns, Comrade Lu," Joseph tried to convince him again, "but the situation is different now. With the Dragon Nation's advanced weapons—those amazing drones, mechanical dogs, and aerial turrets—"

"We are practically invincible! The Eagle Sauce army is no match for us!"

Mr. Lu's eyes became sharp, although his tone remained gentle.

"Precisely because we have these weapons, we should use them with caution."

"Powerful force requires a more restrained user, otherwise it will only lead to greater disaster."

He stood up, walked over to Joseph, and his tone became more serious.

"Comrade Joseph, you and I have both witnessed the madness of the Ansar people."

"In desperate situations, they may defend their 'free world' at all costs, including the use of mushroom bombs."

"If that happens, our victory will turn to ashes, and the whole world will fall into silence."

"Is this the world you want?"
