The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

The leader knew what Lin Jingze meant by those words.

Bear is certainly not a good collaborator.

Because they have a strong desire for control.

Moreover, in the current situation, the dragon has completely taken care of everything on its own.

In this situation, there is absolutely no need to cooperate with the bear.

The bear's arrival will only slow down the progress.

In fact, their so-called cooperation may not even have pure motives or purposes.

The leader nodded and said, "I know all of that."

"Then let them send a few people to oversee the launch process this time."

"Anyway, we should show them some goodwill, haha!"

“They used to be the big brother.”

"Now, I think it should be the other way around."

"We need to act like an elder brother."

Lin Jingze nodded and said, "Then I'll do as you instruct."

Petrov was soon informed that the bear could track the entire launch of the Dragon manned lunar spacecraft.

Petrov was overjoyed upon receiving the notification.

He quickly called Österlund to tell him the good news.

After hearing this, Österlund exclaimed excitedly, "We must send the best scientists there!"

"We must study hard."

"Let's try to get this on the agenda as soon as possible after the Dragon launch is successful!"

"Even if we rank second in the world in manned lunar landing, it would still be a huge honor."

"Um! Um, could we talk to them about it?"

"I hope they can use 'Xionglong Cooperation' as the theme when they promote themselves externally."

"What do you say?"

In other words, Österlund was getting impatient.

He hopes that this manned lunar landing can be officially named.

We all worked together to reach the moon.

Wouldn't the giant bear then share a lot of the glory?
Petrov was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, this is not a good situation, is it?"

"After all, they've always been promoting themselves."

Österlund said, "It's just adding a name."

"I don't think this is difficult at all, is it?"

"They didn't actually lose anything."

"We're all brothers, can't you even handle this small matter?"

Petrov said, "Then I'll go and talk to them."

"Your Majesty, I think you shouldn't have too high hopes for this matter."

Österlund said dismissively, "I think they'll agree."

"They are the best at compromising."

"They need our support."

"Only through such close cooperation can we grow closer together, right?"

Petrov hung up the phone and shook his head with a sigh.

He felt that the leader had gone a bit too far.

What they're doing is a project of the century!
Damn it, they've already got everything set up.

So you've come here with your big face showing?

This is like picking fruit.

There's absolutely no way they would agree.

This shows a lack of understanding.

This is clearly an attempt to make things difficult for them.

However, in any case, since the Bear Emperor has already given the order.

Then he had no choice but to carry it out.

Petrov then called Lin Jingze again.

Lin Jingze received a call from Petrov and said, "Comrade Petrov, I was just about to call you."

"I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative."

Petrov said with an awkward smile, "Comrade Jingze, I don't know if your superiors have given their approval yet."

"Can we work together?"

Lin Jingze said, "You can send someone to track and observe the whole process."

"There is absolutely no problem with that."

Petrov said, "Oh, if, I mean, if it's convenient for you, could you share some of your fame with us this time?"

He spoke in a low voice.

Because he felt a little ashamed.

That's a bit much.

How can you expect credit for something you haven't done?

Ding Lixin is such a smart person.

He immediately understood what the other person meant.

"Hmm? Comrade Petrov, you may ask what your requirements are. Please feel free to speak them directly."

He looked at Petrov with a smile.

Petrov became even more uneasy under that gaze.

"Oh! Actually, our requirements are very simple."

"All you need to do is announce to the public that this manned lunar landing is a collaboration between our two sides."

“We bears have also made many contributions.”

Petrov, however, still mustered the courage to make his request.

Ding Lixin actually didn't want the other party to say it.

Because, on this matter, there's really no room for negotiation.

Because this would diminish the dragon's prestige.

If the bears' names were actually put on the list, they might claim that they made a decisive contribution.

They might even say that they spearheaded this manned lunar landing.

Anyway, you, Long, have said it yourselves, that we, Xiong, participated in this manned lunar landing mission.

Even if the world truly achieves universal harmony in the future, it will still need a dominant ethnic group.

The dragon, of course, must gain dominance.

Therefore, we must never nurture a bear's arrogance.

The bear had to adapt to its new role: playing a minor part for the dragon.

We must never allow it to compete with the dragon for dominance.

Ding Lixin smiled and said, "I don't even know what to say about your request."

"Can you just add names to something like this?"

Do you think this is appropriate?

Petrov, forcing a smile, said, "Oh, well, is there anything wrong with that?"

Ding Lixin shook his head and said, "I don't even know what to say to you."

"You must not say this out loud."

"To say it out loud is to make a mistake."

"Well, Comrade Petrov, I think we must also make a clear distinction within our Bolshevik ranks."

"After all, we're living separately now."

"There needs to be some distance."

Ding Lixin didn't stand on ceremony and said directly.

Petrov breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew the other party wouldn't agree.

Putting everything else aside, if a bear can easily carry out a manned lunar landing, can it share the glory with a dragon?
It definitely won't be shared.

"Comrade Ding, this request was actually made by my superior, Comrade Ostrund."

"His request is indeed a bit unreasonable."

Ding Lixin nodded and said, "I understand."

“Ostrund is a good comrade.”

"However, he oversimplified things."

“Before we truly achieve global harmony, we still need to take care of the interests of our own families, right?” Petrov nodded, a little ashamed, and said, “Yes, yes.”

“We’ve actually taken advantage of you quite a bit over the years.”

"For a long time, our people believed that the Giant Eagle Lizard side had the most advanced technology and the most prosperous people."

"So, there are a lot of people in our organization who think we've gone down the wrong path."

"They strongly insist that we must learn from the Eagle Lizards."

"They even asked us to take the other side's route instead."

"Thinking about it now, it's really scary."

"If we don't make up our minds to suppress that unhealthy trend."

"So, we've probably changed the color by now."

“We might even fall apart.”

"Thanks to your help."

"You helped us through that terrible crisis."

Petrov murmured.

He still breaks out in a cold sweat whenever he recalls that harrowing moment.

He felt that if it weren't for the dragon's help, it was uncertain whether the bear would still exist at this moment.

In recent years, Xiong has been able to get back on track, gradually recover its prosperity, and restore public confidence.

"It wouldn't have been possible without the dragon's selfless help."

Ding Lixin said with a smile, "Don't be so polite. Comrades should help each other, of course."

"We are already very grateful that you are able to be grateful and remember our help."

Petrov shook his head, looking somewhat troubled.

He said, "Now is also a difficult time for us."

"We are a bit confused right now."

Ding Lixin said, "This is normal."

"Because transformation will inevitably be painful."

Petrov said, "Comrade Ding, as you know, we now have our own camp system."

"You are not inside now."

"But now, some of my teammates are quite restless."

"There are a few who have been talking about leaving."

“If we don’t resort to violence, this trend of leaving will be inevitable.”

"This makes us feel a little frustrated."

“If we use violence, then it doesn’t seem appropriate.”

“If we let them run away, they will not hesitate to run away.”

Ding Lixin naturally knew about this matter.

Ultimately, it's because their level of affluence is far lower than that of the Lizardmen.

This resulted in a sense of disappointment.

In addition, there was the Lizard Party's various infiltration and propaganda.

Those ordinary guys from the east side were tempted.

Ding Lixin smiled and said, "It's actually quite normal to discipline a child when they misbehave."

"Let their own people handle this!"

"You just need to keep an eye on them, and their own people will take care of those troublemakers."

"Of course, I think the most important thing is to do a good job in publicity."

"We need to make the public understand what the current situation in Lizardland is like."

“We have our own public opinion platforms. If you publish more content, wouldn't the public opinion education work be done?”

Petrov was taken aback.

He never expected that Ding Lixin would give him such an idea.

"Oh! I originally thought you would oppose interference because it seems to be undemocratic and violates human rights."

Ding Lixin smiled and said, "What's this called?"

"How could there be such a misunderstanding about us?"

"I think you've been influenced by too much of Lizard's fraudulent propaganda."

"Actually, the Lizardmen have practically infiltrated your camp into a sieve over the past few years, haven't they?"

"The methods they use are far more sophisticated than yours."

"We absolutely cannot be naive when faced with the other side's actions!"

Petrov nodded and said, "Thank you, Comrade Ding."

Ding Lixin smiled slightly and said, "Don't mention it."

"Your scheming to get your names on our manned lunar landing program is probably because you can't stand the kids' antics."

"So you want to show your strength again and win back the respect of your friends?"

Petrov nodded and said, "Yes, that's part of the reason."

"Alas! It seems we are on the verge of losing their support."

"They are now more willing to cooperate with you."

Petrov's words carried a hint of sourness.

After all, they were the undisputed protagonists before.

But now, they're almost relegated to supporting roles.

Ding Lixin smiled slightly and said, "As long as they don't change their allegiance and remain within the main camp, I think we shouldn't worry about them too much."

"Comrade Petrov, I believe that our entire camp now holds an absolute advantage. What do you think?"

Petrov nodded: "Yes, I agree."

Ding Lixin said, "The more critical the moment, the more cautious and careful we must be."

"Therefore, I hope you will not have any negative emotions such as suspicion."

"Our goals are the same."

"Therefore, we should be natural fellow travelers."

"Did you know that our Comrade Wang Haoran analyzed that the thing Giant Eagle will do most next is to sow discord!"

"They definitely want to stir up conflict between us, preferably so that we fight each other to the death."

Petrov was startled.

He thought to himself, "Now that I've analyzed it this way, I understand why there are so many rumors circulating within our ranks that are stirring up trouble."

The other party is clearly trying to manipulate public opinion.

However, they lack a platform.

They do want to buy off and control the media within the company.

Unfortunately, they couldn't handle it; they could only handle a few individual reporters.

Moreover, these reporters will be quickly discovered and dealt with if they help the Eagle Lizards cause trouble.

The eagle is actually out of options right now.

They're now starting to fan the flames with rumors.

These rumors were also released very cleverly.

It focuses on sensationalism and hearsay.

The most important piece of gossip is that the dragon is planning to completely control the bear and turn the bear's people into slaves.

The news was spread with great detail and accuracy.

It certainly fooled quite a few idiots.

"Oh I see."

"However, I don't think they can really stir up trouble."

"The public isn't that stupid; they won't believe their nonsense."

Ding Lixin smiled and said, "So, I hope you can react faster."

"If any problems arise, we should act immediately and find out whoever is hiding in the shadows trying to cause trouble."

"The other side is actually almost out of options."

"But we still need to keep going, haha!"

"We must drive them to their wits' end, until they have no choice but to kneel down."

After talking with Ding Lixin, Petrov felt relieved.

He thought to himself, "I need to hurry back."

"I absolutely cannot let the leaders believe those lies."

Petrov returned to Giant Bear on a Starship that same day.

The Xiongnu recently acquired several of these Starship passenger planes, mainly for use as special aircraft.

After a long flight, Petrov returned to the giant bear.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to the office of the Bear Emperor Östlund. (End of Chapter)
