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

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he elaborated on his views in detail.

"Gentlemen, we cannot only see the Russians' formidable military strength and ignore their chauvinistic nature."

His voice became serious and warning.

"You can ask the people of Eastern European countries how they view their 'Big Brother'."

"The Russians' aid is never free. They like to control, like to be others' 'benevolent fathers', and like to impose their will on others."

"Once we accept their aid, our destiny is no longer in our own hands."

He looked around at everyone and spoke word by word.

"We are likely to go from being a vassal of Washington to a puppet of Moscow. We will lose our independence, our factories will produce weapons for the Soviet Union, and our people will serve their global strategy."

"This is not the future we want. We rebel against Washington's tyranny to win true freedom, not to change a new master!"

These words gradually calmed down the hot-headed union leaders present.

Although they are not very well versed in politics, they have heard about the various domineering behaviors of the Russian bear in Eastern Europe.

Governor Wolf's words really hit upon their deepest concerns.

"Then... who else can we turn to for help?"

Mike Donovan asked, somewhat frustrated.

At this moment, a female Dragonborn council member named Linda Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

She is one of the few Asian faces in the state legislature and is known for her calm mind and broad international perspective.

"Maybe we have a better choice."

Her voice was clear and confident, attracting everyone's attention.

"Compared to the Mao Xiong," she said slowly, "Longguo may be a more trustworthy partner for us."

"Dragon Country?"

Many people present showed confused expressions.

In their impression, although Longguo has recently made impressive military performance, it is still a mysterious and distant Eastern country overall, and its international influence is far less than that of the Russian Bear.

Linda Chen seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction.

She calmly pulled a document from her briefcase and began to analyze it methodically.

"First, in terms of their approach, China and Russia are completely different," she explained. "Looking at China's foreign policy in recent years, they have always adhered to the principles of peaceful coexistence and non-interference in each other's internal affairs."

"They prefer to build partnerships through equal trade and cooperation. They seem to prefer being friends to being a 'father' to other countries."

"This can be seen from their interactions with many third world countries."

"Secondly, and most importantly," her eyes grew sharper, "Dragon Country's technological and military strength may have surpassed that of the Russian Bear, and in some areas, it may even be ahead of the entire world."

This statement caused quite a stir in the conference room.

Linda Chen ignored the comments and continued to speak with facts.

"Everyone, please think carefully about several major events that have occurred recently. The Battle of Stalingrad and the Yugoslav conflict. In both conflicts, it was the weapons provided by the Dragon Country, not the Russian army, that played a decisive role."

"Those drones, those mechanical dogs, those ghostly aerial gunboats and unmanned speedboats... even the Russians themselves were shocked and confused by these weapons."

"Even a mere Yugoslavia, after receiving military aid from Dragon Nation, could easily defeat the powerful Sixth Fleet of the United States."

"What does this mean? This means that Dragon Nation's military technology has reached a level that we can't even imagine!"

There was a powerful persuasiveness in her voice: "If we, Pennsylvania, a state with a strong industrial base, can receive military assistance from Dragon Country, then defeating the federal government's encirclement and achieving our true independence will no longer be an unattainable dream!"

This analysis made everyone present fall into deep thought.

They began to re-examine Longguo, the emerging Eastern power.

Linda Chen's words opened a new door full of hope for them.

"But...will the Dragon Kingdom be willing to help us?" a member of parliament questioned. "We have no ties to them, and our ideologies are completely different."

Linda Chen smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in her eyes.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This also applies to the Dragon Kingdom. The Eagle Sauce is their main strategic rival at the moment."

"Being able to plunge the Eagle Sauce into civil strife and support an independent, friendly Pennsylvania with strong industrial capacity is of immeasurable strategic value to them."

“And,” she added, “we have what they need. Our specialty steel, our precision manufacturing technology, our industrial workers… these are all urgently needed for them to achieve their own industrial upgrading.”

"We can use these as bargaining chips to make an equal and mutually beneficial deal with them."

The flame of hope finally rekindled in Governor Wolf's eyes.

He found that Linda Chen's analysis was more profound and thorough than any male politician present.

Cooperating with Russia is like drinking poison to quench thirst; while cooperating with China may be a road to rebirth.

"Linda, you said it very well."

He nodded approvingly and turned to the group.

"Everyone, I think we've found the right direction. The question now is, how can we contact the Dragon Nation and convince them of our sincerity?"

This question once again caused everyone to fall into silence.

Establishing secret contact with a mysterious superpower thousands of miles away and with almost no official contact is undoubtedly an extremely difficult and dangerous task.

At this moment, Linda Chen spoke again, with a confident smile on her face.

"On this point, Mr. Governor, perhaps... I have some special channels."

Everyone's eyes were focused on her again.

They then remembered that Linda Chen was not only a state legislator, but also a successful Dragon businesswoman whose family had deep connections and business ties in Dragon Country.

Governor Wolf stood up suddenly, walked up to Linda Chen, and looked at her with an unprecedented look of respect and expectation.

"Linda, we need your help." His voice trembled slightly with excitement. "If you can successfully obtain aid from the Dragon Nation for us, you will become a hero in Pennsylvania and even in the entire new country. History will remember your name forever."

Linda Chen stood up, smiled and extended her hand.

Her figure seemed a little petite among the male politicians present, but her eyes sparkled with strong determination and wisdom that was enough to change history.

"Mr. Governor, I'm happy to do whatever I can for our hometown."

The two hands were clasped tightly together in the secret room.

A secret diplomatic operation aimed at seeking help from the Eastern Dragon is about to begin in this "Rust Belt" of the United States.

None of them imagined that this decision would not only change the fate of Pennsylvania, but also trigger an even more magnificent and huge change in the future world pattern.

The internal division and decline of the United States, once regarded as the center of the world, seem to have become irreversible.

The sun in the east is rising slowly with an unstoppable momentum.
