Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

This clearly indicates that China can take the life of anyone present at any time.

Upon realizing this, those reactionary elements who had harbored resentment immediately fell silent. Indeed, it was an indisputable fact that they were powerless to contend with China.

"We understand, and we will not do anything like this again."

"From now on, you will be in charge, and we will no longer interfere."

They were not particularly concerned about relinquishing power.

The main reason is probably that they have already made a fortune.

This is true.

They are now incredibly wealthy.

They have no shortage of money now. Their only fear is dying before they've spent all their money.

What's the use of having so much money?

They already have enough wealth to squander the rest of their lives.

"It would be best if everyone thought this way."

"Cooperating with China will never be a loss; China has always been generous to its friendly nations. Cooperating with the Empire would be foolish, tantamount to seeking help from a tiger, not to mention offending China—a truly unwise choice."

……

"We understand that we were confused at the time."

"Please rest assured, we will not interfere in any related matters from now on; the decision will be entirely yours. We will find a place to spend our later years in peace, and you need not target us any further."

……

"The meeting is now adjourned."

As the words fell.

Everyone went their separate ways.

The southern countries surrounding Myanmar also learned of this news.

The effect of making an example of someone to deter others is now fully apparent.

They must re-examine their understanding of China. Is offending China truly a wise choice? Will appeasing the empire really bring benefits? Is China really a pushover? Does China's emphasis on etiquette mean it will be merciful to its enemies?

"I believe we need to reassess our attitude towards China."

"I do not agree with the previously proposed plan. Confronting China is pointless; after all, China is so close, and none of you want to experience the taste of missiles, do you?"

"Furthermore... China doesn't need to use missiles to deal with us."

"There's no need to even use firearms."

"You should all be aware of the events in Myanmar; it serves as a warning to us from China."

Some people say this.

Many people expressed their agreement.

They are not stupid.

Everyone understands that this is a form of deterrence.

If we become enemies with China again.

They will likely be beheaded soon.

"We understand that, so we will adjust our strategy and need to show sincerity."

Some people have put forward this view.

Sincerity is indeed needed. They were unfriendly to China before, but they fawned over the empire in every way.

Since such things have been done, an apology is due.

We need to seek the understanding of China with sincerity.

"Understood, understood, we completely agree."

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll send a delegation to China later to discuss this matter."

……

The matter was quickly settled.

Needless to say, the situation is even more dire in Japan.

The high-ranking officials of Japan have been utterly defeated and rendered powerless.

It is still in the stage of power struggle.

The deaths of several powerful family leaders have provided other families with an opportunity to rise. They will certainly seize this opportunity with all their might. At this moment, they have no time to deal with China. "To repel external enemies, one must first secure internal stability"—this is a slogan they often repeat.

The country we need to deal with right now is South Korea.

However, South Korea has a dedicated person in charge of this.

However, the mission over there doesn't seem to be progressing very well.

Lin Beichen and his team have resolved the affairs between the Sakura Kingdom and the southern countries.

The team carrying out the mission in South Korea is still struggling to gather intelligence.

They wanted to find out the whereabouts of the South Korean leader, but they were unable to obtain reliable information.

"Damn it! They've completed two missions, while we're still struggling in vain. Months have passed, and we haven't even caught up with the whereabouts of the South Korean leader."

"Enough said, everyone knows."

"But we can't entirely blame ourselves."

"South Korea's security measures are truly exceptional."

"The targets we identified earlier were all body doubles; there's no point in targeting them."

The group began to discuss.

There is no harm without comparison.

Before they knew that Lin Beichen and his team had achieved such a brilliant victory, they remained patient.

At this moment, how could they possibly have the leisure or inclination for relaxation?

Compared to this, I feel utterly worthless.

Just as everyone was arguing, someone suddenly suggested:

"Do you think it's enough for us to just deal with those imposters? We don't necessarily need to assassinate the leader. Those cowards are probably lurking in some dark corner, watching the outside world right now."

"We need to send a clear signal, warning them to behave themselves."

"Eliminating those stand-ins will achieve the same goal."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt enlightened.

That makes sense, and dealing with the stand-in is not out of the question.

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll move out in three days."

"They will be giving a large speech then, and we will launch our sniping attack at that moment. Remember, your safety is paramount. Once you have the kill, withdraw immediately and do not linger."

"We can directly deploy new weapons without worrying about civilian casualties."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We must make them understand that China is not to be trifled with."

The captain's words made everyone's expressions solemn.

But they knew it was a choice they had to make.

If this continues, the situation will become uncontrollable.

No one wanted to admit that they were inferior to the team led by Lin Beichen.

South Korea is well aware that China is concerned about civilian casualties, so every time its leader makes a public appearance, a large crowd is gathered around him. This is clearly a deliberate provocation against China.

Do they really think China wouldn't dare to take action?
Once the decision to take action is made, it must be made decisively and resolutely.

Moreover, this move will not have a substantial impact on China.

The key issue is the lack of solid evidence. Without evidence, even pointing the finger at China is futile.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

The conference and lectures were held as scheduled.

The special forces team launched a decapitation strike.

……

Inside a hidden basement.

Many high-ranking South Korean officials are dancing gracefully on the dance floor.

Some people were singing and dancing, some were enjoying delicious food, and others were whispering among themselves.

"Those people from China are utterly insignificant. They think they can track us down? How utterly ridiculous! Do they really think we're as worthless as those idiots from Japan and those tiny southern countries?"

"We must remain vigilant during extraordinary times."

"If you can't even guarantee your own intelligence security, then being assassinated is your own fault."

"Well said! Absolutely right!!"

The South Korean high-ranking officials chatted and laughed.

On the huge screen in front of them, the imposter leader's speech was being broadcast live.

This is a live broadcast broadcast nationwide.

The executives present all wore smug smiles.

However, their expressions suddenly froze the next moment.

The lecture venue instantly transformed into a living hell.

The screams of agony were incessant as the imposter leader was blasted to obliterate his body. The scene was extremely gruesome, or rather, not gruesome at all—it was unclear what new type of weapon was used, but the victims were all reduced to charred remains.

The live stream signal suddenly became erratic.

It seemed to be under some kind of strong interference. At this point, all the high-ranking South Korean officials present could no longer remain seated.

"How dare they do this! Doesn't China call itself a land of etiquette? How can they disregard civilian casualties? This is outrageous!" Many people were furious.

"This is indeed inconsistent with the usual practices of China; they have always prioritized the safety of civilians."

"I feel something is amiss."

Someone echoed.

"Have you all considered that without solid evidence, it's impossible to accuse China? In comparison, the possibility of Japan and the Empire being the perpetrators is much greater." Just as the crowd was indignant, someone raised this point.

Indeed, as he said.

China's international reputation is truly excellent.

It's so good that it's hard to doubt it.

At this moment, the advantages of a good reputation become crystal clear.

In the eyes of the world, China is a country that values ​​etiquette.

China never does anything that harms ordinary people.

Therefore, slandering China is futile until conclusive evidence is found. Realizing this, everyone's faces turned ashen, feeling a sense of injustice, as if they had shot themselves in the foot. Following this incident, South Korea will undoubtedly face severe public pressure.

Even if they themselves are unharmed.

The deaths of those stand-ins were no different from the deaths of the real people.

From this point on, South Korea must adjust its strategy toward China and can no longer be an enemy of China.

If they provoke China again.

We may really be facing missile attacks.

Preserving oneself is more important than pleasing the empire.

Even empires dare not wage a full-scale war against China, so where does South Korea get the audacity to be so arrogant in front of China?
Isn't this just courting death?

It's like moths to a flame.

……

Public opinion continues to ferment in South Korea.

The public is discussing this matter extensively.

The South Korean leadership intended to frame China.

However, Chinese netizens did not buy it, generally believing that this could not have been done by China.

They believe that China is a responsible major country that values ​​etiquette.

They would never commit such a barbaric act.

"Tell me, which force did this?"

"Everyone online is saying it was done by China, but I have a bad feeling. Could it be that we staged it ourselves? After all, the dead were all doubles," some people speculated.

"Are the people upstairs crazy? How can they say such things?"

"However, this speculation is indeed...possible. Brother, your thought process is quite unique, but I think it's more likely that the crime was committed in Japan."

Some people are pointing the finger at Japan, the land of cherry blossoms.

After all, Japan and South Korea have a long-standing feud.

It is not impossible that Japan planned such an attack in South Korea.

This view has gained considerable acceptance.

Many people believe it was the work of those bastards from Japan.

Some suspect that the empire was behind the scenes.

Various speculations and opinions abound.

Very few people believe that it was done by the Chinese.

The South Korean leadership had anticipated this outcome.

But they remained indignant, believing that the lower classes were too ignorant.

However, isn't this also the consequence of their long-term manipulation of public opinion?
The situation that has angered both heaven and man is entirely their doing.

Once the hearts of the people are lost, destruction is only a matter of time.

The will of the people is like water; it can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

The actions of South Korea are indeed immoral.

The major domestic conglomerates have deeply entrenched and complex power structures.

This is essentially a country controlled by conglomerates.

Under this system, ordinary people face immense difficulties in their daily lives.

Previously, a major case had also occurred in South Korea.

The victim was a young girl who was in school.

The perpetrator is reportedly mentally ill. The case has sparked public outrage, with many standing up to defend justice. Some even quoted Lu Xun's famous saying: "If I stand idly by today, when disaster strikes me again, no one will cheer me on." This statement resonated strongly, and public opinion continued to escalate.

No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche.

Not a single drop of rainwater was innocent during the floods.

The collapse of public morale is never a matter of a single day or night.

The bitter fruit of today is the result of countless small acts accumulated over time.

The special decapitation team dispatched by China was merely the fuse that ignited the entire situation.

……

"I never expected the mission to be completed so smoothly. If we had adopted this plan earlier, we would have succeeded long ago. Why didn't we realize it back then?" The captain's words were filled with self-reproach.

Anyone can be a Monday morning quarterback.

It's remarkable that he was able to realize his mistake in time.

Despite his outward expression of self-reproach, the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

This guy is clearly putting on an act.

"Damn it, he got me again."

The team members secretly grumbled to themselves.

On the surface, however, he could only suppress his displeasure and offer words of comfort against his will:

"Captain, don't blame yourself. You've done a great job. If it weren't for your solution, we might still be stuck in the same place. You truly deserve to be our captain!" This flattery was perfectly timed.

The captain was overjoyed to hear this.

"If you can talk, then talk more, haha!"

Although his face was full of pride, he still pretended to be humble:
"You flatter me. This is the result of collective wisdom; it's everyone's achievement, and I can't take all the credit."

"Ahem, thank you all for your support."

"In future missions, just follow me. I can't guarantee 100% success, but I will never lead you into a fire pit. I guarantee it with my life!" The captain's words were all just empty platitudes.

What do you mean by risking your life for it?

If something really happens, the captain will be the first to suffer.

Faced with their hypocritical and humble captain, the team members' lips twitched, and they suppressed the urge to punch him as they continued to flatter him: "Captain, we should be the first team to complete the mission, right?" It is worth mentioning that only two teams were sent out to carry out this mission.

South Korea employed a substitution tactic, which kept them occupied for a long time.

Having been delayed for so long, will another team overtake them? The answer is clearly no.

In their view, Lin Beichen and his group needed to travel between two locations to carry out their mission, making it impossible for them to complete it quickly. Therefore, they should be the first team to finish the mission.

However, this honor is nothing to be proud of.

There were only two teams participating in total, and it was either first or second place.

Moreover, they are only responsible for the mission objectives of South Korea.

Lin Beichen's team, however, had to balance the needs of Japan and small southern countries.

In comparison, it was only natural that they completed the task ahead of schedule.

However, they overthought things, and the final result was so surprising that it was almost unacceptable.

……

"What? How is this possible!"

"You're saying they completed their mission a week ago and even had a seven-day rest? Impossible, you must be joking, this can't be true, right?" the captain exclaimed incredulously.

This news was hard for him to accept.

How could this happen?

Absolutely impossible, it must be a misinformation.

The team leader insisted on not believing or spreading rumors.

Lu Guangwei, Wang Fugui, Li Dalong, and others were all present.

Seeing that the soldier was unwilling to believe it, Lü Guangwei couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

If it were someone else, this would indeed be hard to believe.

But Lin Beichen is different, especially since he has the help of Yu Feng, a young man from a prominent family.

In addition to Zhang San, an elite individual combatant,

And Noryusuke, the former top assassin of the Sakura Kingdom.

With such a formidable lineup, it's only natural that they were able to complete the mission first. (End of Chapter)
