Chapter 426 Desperate Bald Man
Just when all the countries in the Blue Star United Assembly were casting their precious votes on whether Dragon Country could return.
at the same time.
Dragon Country Frog Island, in Yangmingshan Sanatorium.
The bald man sat behind a large mahogany desk, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.
There were dark clouds outside the window, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
He just received a piece of news that could change the world: Dragon Country is about to replace Nether Country, become a member of the Blue Star United Assembly and take over its seat as a permanent elder state on the Security Council!
This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting the bald man's heart.
He felt dizzy and his ears were buzzing as if millions of bees were flapping their wings frantically.
The political foundation that had been painstakingly built over the years collapsed at this moment.
"Damn it! Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!" The bald man muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief.
"Why would those Eagle people take the initiative to let the Dragon people return to the Blue Star United Conference? Didn't they just fight a battle?!"
He stood up suddenly, strode to the window, and looked down at Titanium North City.
This city where he had lived in exile for many years now became so unfamiliar to him.
The past came flooding back like a tide.
He remembered the promise President Ross had made to him at the Cairo Conference.
He recalled President Dumen's support for him after the victory against Sakura.
He recalled the protection General Howell had given him three years ago after the outbreak of the Peninsular War...
Scenes from the past flashed through my mind like scenes from a movie.
"treachery!"
The bald man suddenly roared angrily and threw the teacup on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.
Fragments of blue and white porcelain flew everywhere, just like his shattered dreams.
He felt a severe headache and his temples throbbing as if someone was hitting him on the head with a hammer.
“Father, are you okay?”
At this time, Jiang Jianfeng hurried over after hearing the noise and asked worriedly.
The bald man turned around, shaking with anger.
"Jianfeng, tell me, why do the Eagle people treat us like this?"
"We fought side by side against the Sakura invaders. We were the closest of allies, fighting the Red Front threat together. Why would they abandon us now and collude with those damned Dragon people?"
Jiang Jianfeng was silent for a moment and answered cautiously.
"Father, the international situation is changing rapidly. Perhaps the Eagle Country believes that establishing relations with the Dragon Country will be more beneficial to them..."
"Profit! It's all profit!" the bald man interrupted angrily. "They only care about profit. How can they remember morality?!"
His voice was filled with pain and disappointment.
“How much have we paid for them? What promises have we received from them? Now, they abandon us so easily!”
"If we allow the Dragons to return to the Blue Star United Assembly and replace us as one of the five permanent elder nations on Blue Star, who else in Asia can stop them?"
"How can we implement our counterattack plan?!"
The bald man walked to the wall where there was a photo of him and Howell.
Suddenly, a violent coughing fit struck him, and the bald man bent down, his face pale.
Jianfeng hurried forward to help, but the bald man waved his hand to stop him.
"I'm fine," he managed, his voice weary. "Give me some time... I need some quiet time."
"It's... father."
Jiang Jianfeng tactfully left the office, leaving Baldy alone to face this sudden blow.
The bald man slowly walked back to his desk and his eyes fell on a document.
That was a report from Eagle Country Secretary of State Singh on his recent visit to Dragon Country.
He picked up the report, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
“Singer… Nick… How could you do this to me?”
The bald man muttered to himself, his voice filled with incredible pain.
"Didn't you say that if there's trouble on Frog Island, there's trouble in Eagle Country? Why are you bowing to Dragon Fruit first now..."
He closed his eyes, as if to block out this cruel reality.
But the cruel facts came like a tide, unstoppable.
The bald man felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.
He, the former leader of the "Ziyoulong Kingdom", is so powerless at this moment.
The bald man took a deep breath and slowly walked to the bookshelf.
His eyes fell on a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Days and nights, he studied this military book, trying to find wisdom from it.
But now, all the strategies seem to have lost their meaning.
“The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division.”
The bald man muttered in a low voice, his voice full of bitterness.
"Is this God's will? Am I destined to lose everything?"
His eyes fell on the globe on the desk again.
The bald man reached out and gently stroked the outline of the Dragon Kingdom continent, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Many nights he dreamed of returning to his homeland, but now, this dream seemed increasingly out of reach.
Outside the window, raindrops began to hit the glass.
The bald man walked to the window and looked at the Titanium North City shrouded in rain.
This city was once his hope for reviving flower cultivation, but now it is more like an isolated island, getting further and further away from the world.
"Eagle people, do you really think that by abandoning me, you can gain the friendship of those Dragon people?" The bald man muttered to himself, his voice full of unwillingness.
"You will regret it. One day you will understand that I am your true friend!"
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and the pain made him sober up a little.
The bald man took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions.
He must find a way to deal with this crisis and do something for the future of the Underworld and Frog Island!
The bald man picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“Ye Chao! Call an emergency meeting immediately. We must find a way to stop this situation!”
His voice regained its former authority.
"Contact our allies in the Blue Star United Congress. We still have a chance!"
"I think it's not just us who don't want the Dragon people to return to the Blue Star United Conference. The Sakura people will definitely be more anxious than us..."
"What, you're saying we shouldn't work with Sakura?"
"Humph! What do you know? What time is it now? And you're still talking nonsense!"
"You have to understand one thing: the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
"Although the Sakura people are shameless and despicable, they can still be our friends when we need them..."
