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

A few days later, in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

When the news that "the Sakura People's Republic has been officially established," along with a video of Tanaka's speech in the central square of Tokyo, brimming with new energy and revolutionary passion, was presented to the Great Leader's desk, a long-lost atmosphere of ease and joy filled the entire office.

The chieftain leaned back in his large wicker chair, leisurely smoking a cigarette while watching with great interest the exciting scene on the screen where hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom used their own hands to send those once high-ranking war criminals and old nobles to the gallows.

"Well done." He nodded approvingly at the video, then turned to Fang Yu and President Lu beside him, who were also smiling, and sincerely praised them, "Comrade Fang, your 'winning hearts and minds' move is much more skillful than that of us old guys who have been fighting for half our lives."

"Using only the evidence against a few war criminals who deserved to die, they completely shook up the deeply rotten social structure of the entire Sakura Country, and thoroughly mobilized the ordinary people who had been deceived for thousands of years. This is truly an unprecedented and likely unparalleled achievement!"

Hearing the leader's generous praise, President Lu couldn't help but jokingly remark, "I told you so! Comrade Fang's documentary is top-notch! The pacing, emotions, and climaxes are all masterfully handled. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility he bears for the technological development of our entire nation, I think he would be more than capable of being the director of our August First Film Studio."

"Chief, General Lu, please don't flatter me too much." Faced with the praise from the two top leaders, Fang Yu just smiled a little embarrassedly. "What I did is really nothing. It was just some minor detail that took advantage of information asymmetry to guide the situation."

"In the end, if it weren't for the formidable might of our 'Aurora Army' on the battlefield, and if it weren't for the strong national power of our Dragon Kingdom backing them up, then based solely on that movie and that speech, even if the ordinary people of the Sakura Kingdom were filled with anger, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to stand up and resist."

"Look at this young comrade Fang, he's fallen into his old habit of being unnecessarily modest again." The chief laughed, pointed at Fang Yu, and said to President Lu.

The office was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After a brief chat and jokes, the chief stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. The relaxed smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by the sharp and profound gaze of a strategist.

"Alright, alright, enough of the small talk, let's get back to the main topic."

He slowly walked to the huge world map that took up the entire wall.

"Now, the matter of Japan has been completely resolved. A new People's Republic, belonging to the people and which will always stand with us, has been born. This means that from now on, most of East Asia, and even Southeast Asia, has been completely freed from the control of the United States. Our eastern gateway is more secure than ever before."

His gaze slowly crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed on the other side of the map, on the map representing the Americas.

“However, mere defense is not the style of us Chinese.” His voice turned cold. “Since the US and that polar bear dare to use such inhumane and despicable methods as the ‘Kyoto Massacre’ against us, then we also need to let them know what it means to ‘reciprocate.’”

"We must fight back."

He turned around, surveyed the assembled high-ranking generals of the Republic, whose expressions had already turned solemn at his words, and asked:

"Tell me, where should we begin with this first, proactive act of retaliation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Chen, who was the most impatient, was the first to step forward.

"Commander!" He stepped forward almost without thinking, and with his thick finger, he pointed heavily at the area on the map that represented the west coast of the American mainland. "Is there any need to ask? Of course, we attack their mainland!"

"If he dares to launch a biological attack in our brother country, we'll just drop one of our antimatter warheads into his damned 'Hollywood' that can't produce anything worthwhile! Let him taste what it feels like to have his family destroyed and his people killed!"

“Old Chen, calm down.” A relatively steady marshal surnamed Liu, who was in charge of the navy, frowned and retorted, “To directly use strategic-level weapons to attack the American mainland now is tantamount to starting World War III. Although we are not afraid of fighting, there is no need to go to such extremes.”

“I think,” he pointed to the vast blue ocean on the map, “that our most urgent task right now is to completely eliminate the US military influence globally. They claim to have eleven carrier strike groups, right? Well, let’s send them all to the bottom of the sea, one by one, to feed the fish!”

"Using our space carriers and warp drive fighters, coupled with quantum communication networks, we will establish a global rapid strike system. From now on, no fleet of theirs will dare to leave their own ports! We will completely lock them off the American continent!"

“I disagree.” Another high-ranking official, surnamed Li, who appeared to be in charge of intelligence and had been silent all along, slowly shook his head.

"A direct military strike would certainly be satisfying, but the cost would be equally enormous. Whether it's an attack on the homeland or an attack on an aircraft carrier, it would inevitably provoke the fiercest counterattack from the 'Bear-Eagle Alliance.' Moreover, it would give them an excuse to unite internally and share a common hatred for the enemy."

“I think,” a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, “we can learn from them. Since they like to play 'proxy wars,' why don’t we play along?”

"As far as I know, the US military isn't a monolithic entity either. Those states like California and Texas, forced to rejoin the Union during the Civil War, are still harboring resentment. All we need to do is provide them with a little 'help,' such as a few hundred sets of 'Bright Light' armor and a few thousand 'Candle Dragon' rifles..."

His insidious scheme of "using their own methods against them" caught the attention of many present.

One after another, imaginative yet practical solutions were proposed.

The Great Chief listened quietly, neither interrupting anyone nor offering any opinion. He stood there before the enormous world map, lost in deep thought.

Finally, after everyone had finished stating their thoughts...

He slowly turned his head and looked at the young man who had remained silent throughout.

"Comrade Xiao Fang," he asked, "what are your thoughts?"

All eyes were once again focused on Fang Yu.

Fang Yu smiled, then slowly stood up from his seat and walked to the huge map.

He didn't go to Asia, nor to Europe, nor even to the US mainland.

"Since the US and its allies are able to cause so much trouble right under our noses in Japan."

"Then, why don't we give him one too..."

"—Use their own methods against them."

Upon hearing this, which was almost identical to what the big boss surnamed Li said, the leader was taken aback for a moment, and then a slightly stronger interest flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Fang Yu remained silent.

He simply, slowly, extended his hand and gently tapped the huge world map, filled with complex geopolitical implications, with his index finger.

Everyone quickly looked in the direction he was pointing.

Immediately, a complex expression of confusion mixed with sudden realization appeared on everyone's faces.

Because the place Fang Yu was referring to was precisely that red land—a land that the US had always considered its own "backyard," a land filled with chaos, poverty, and endless struggle.

--South America.
