Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 65 Don’t bother me
"People of Asian descent are not suited for jobs involving cutting-edge technology. They are only suited for working on the land or making shirts in factories."

"283 rockets, only 20 successful? Oh, that's quite an impressive success rate."

"We should all thank that Eastern country, which spent trillions of dollars to create more than 200 cosmic-level fireworks, presenting a spectacular fireworks show for all of us."

"Thanks to the generous University of Tokyo, I'll be calling up my old buddies tonight to relive this fireworks show while enjoying some delicious beer."

"I bet those guys are insane! While it's amazing to produce over 280 rockets in such a short time, which country couldn't do that if it were just fireworks?"

Jiang Yang casually flipped through the pages and saw countless sarcastic remarks; a torrent of malice rolled in like ocean waves.

Among these comments, there were also some who were clearly fellow countrymen trying their best to refute them.

"Putting aside the success rate, could your country achieve this level of industrial mobilization?"

"I'm sorry, our country is just a small country, and we really can't do that. But what is there for you to be proud of?"

Is making fireworks fast a noble thing? Besides, you're not the only ones who can do it.

I bet a major Western power could easily do that, and do it better than you.

If you ask me why they didn't do that, I'll answer you: because we are civilized people, we wouldn't go crazy doing something meaningless.

"Yes, we, as a major Western power, certainly have the ability to do this, but we will not. We will only use our precious resources for things that are beneficial to society."

"When world peace is threatened, and we, the great Western powers, feel the need to do so, we will unleash power far exceeding yours."

"In this incident, I only saw a barbaric carnival. They thought a crazy fireworks show would inspire awe in the civilized world, but they didn't know that we, the great Western powers, simply disdain to do such a thing."

……

The voices of fellow countrymen were completely drowned out by these malicious comments. An online frenzy sparked by the consecutive rocket launch failures of the past two days has become unstoppable.

Zhou Yu was somewhat frustrated: "We are here to save the world, to save civilization."

Our compatriots have made so many sacrifices and accomplished so many miracles in this war, doing everything in their power to save civilization.

These guys, we don't expect them to do anything, we just want them to stay quiet and not bother us, and they can't even do that.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yang's lips: "Just keep your head down and keep going, why bother with them?"

"Hasn't our country been going through this for decades?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath: "It feels a bit unfair."

"There's a saying that goes something like this: Giants never stop because of the clamor of ants on the roadside; just ignore them."

The helicopter roared as it landed, once again arriving at the Doomsday Seven Base, a place familiar to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang will spend the next few days studying and waiting.

……

Daniel Wilson, the intelligence chief of a major Western power, arrived at an office with a solemn expression, holding documents in his hand.

"Please come in."

Vice Speaker Locke appeared before Daniel.

"The President will have 20 minutes to hear our report. During that time, I expect you to come up with something new."

Daniel's voice trembled slightly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. We've done everything we can, but we still haven't figured out why that Eastern country did this."

"Ok?"

Mr. Locke's eyes narrowed slightly, and an invisible pressure suddenly swept over Daniel. "Mr. Locke, please don't be angry! It's not that we didn't do our job well, but... but... I can guarantee that no country in the world has obtained the relevant intelligence!"

This was a full mobilization, but the core secrets were kept extremely well-preserved; no one except themselves knew exactly what they were planning!

Mr. Locke slowly withdrew his gaze, but his voice remained icy: "I hope the President will be satisfied with your answer."

……

In a somber atmosphere, under the president's watchful eye, Daniel recounted everything he knew.

Then came a long silence.

"Okay, I accept your answer."

Instantly, Daniel felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Mr. President, please rest assured, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible..."

After watching Daniel leave, the president looked at his staff and advisors.

Do you have any suggestions?

"Mr. President, I think we don't need to rush to figure out what they want at this stage."

We can focus our attention on the event itself.

A slightly overweight, bespectacled aide carefully chose his words: "That is... in this incident, whether intentional or not, they have accomplished a de facto demonstration of power, giving a profound deterrent to all countries in the world."

The president paused for a moment, then asked, "If it were us, how many rockets could we build in five days? A hundred? Fifty?"

"...No, the answer is 0."

Meeting the president's gaze, the aide seemed somewhat nervous and helpless: "Yes, we can't even make one."

"Given the strength they've demonstrated, if war breaks out..."

"No, Mr. President."

The aide was somewhat alarmed: "No one with enough common sense would want to go to war with a giant; it's the most foolish choice."

The president clenched his fist suddenly and then relaxed it after a long while.

"what should we do?"

"The only sensible solution is to repair relations with them. We shouldn't offend a giant."

After a long silence, the president slowly nodded: "Then I will make a visit and inform them so that they can make preparations for receiving me in advance."

The other party responded very quickly.

The aide rushed into the president's office, his face filled with anxiety: "They rejected our request to visit! Their reason is that there are major events happening at home, and they are too busy to receive us!"

The president suddenly stood up.

No matter how important the event or how busy he was to receive guests, no matter how grand or polite the documents were, he only saw eight words in them.

I don't have time for you, don't bother me.

This is humiliating!

No country on Earth can refuse a visit from a leader of a civilized community, especially when it is a visit initiated by their own side!
