You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

The German representative left, and the American representative entered.

With their "agreed-upon" terms—a small portion of cultural relics plus some economic compensation—they attempted to persuade Shen Wang by emphasizing "future cooperation prospects" and "international influence."

"roll!"

This time, Shen Wang only used one word.

Next up was the English representative.

They attempted to use their usual "gentlemanly conduct" and "the complexity of historical entanglements" to evade the issue, implying that returning some of the symbolic items was already more than enough.

"roll!"

"..."

The Soviet representative came in, speaking relatively directly, but the conditions he offered also revolved around "a small number of cultural relics" and "a limited exchange of industrial equipment," attempting to use "comradeship" and "a common ideological enemy" to bridge the gap.

Shen Wang didn't even bother to speak this time, he just pointed to the door.

One after another, diplomats representing the most powerful forces on the planet entered with their carefully prepared "bottom lines" and strategies, only to leave with changing expressions after Shen Wang's decisive rejection.

Although everyone tried to maintain a facade of composure, the frustration, disbelief, and deep sense of powerlessness could not be completely concealed.

That guy surnamed Shen is too forceful!

However, for these four representatives, the failure to reach an agreement on their first meeting, while frustrating, seemed "normal."

Negotiation is inherently a process of mutual probing and back-and-forth.

I never expected Shen Wang to be so rude!

They need to reassess, consult with their domestic authorities, and come up with a more "sincere" proposal.

However, for Yu Manli, who witnessed the entire process from beginning to end, the impact of those short ten minutes was revolutionary!

Those were representatives from four countries!

It's England, America, Germany, and the Soviet Union!

It is an entity that truly holds the reins of world power and can influence the fate of small countries!

But with Mr. [the teacher], they were called in one by one like schoolchildren waiting in line to be scolded, and then dismissed without any politeness in the simplest and most direct way!

Throughout the entire process, the gentleman didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if he were just dealing with a few trivial matters!

What unsettled her most was that these "foreign masters" who were usually unapproachable and whom she had to look up to, after being treated like this, actually... not one of them dared to really turn against her!

They were either embarrassed, forced a smile, or remained silent, but in the end they all chose to back down and "communicate again"!

What does this mean?

This means that the power in Mr. [Name]'s hands has become so great that these great powers have no choice but to swallow their pride and beg for it!

"Oh my god..."

Yu Manli felt that she was having some difficulty breathing.

She bit her lower lip slightly, her bright eyes unable to hold back any longer, fixed intently on Shen Wang's back, which wasn't particularly broad but seemed to hold up the entire sky.

Under the lamplight, he sat there casually, yet he seemed like an unshakeable mountain.

All her previous submissiveness and obedience may have been mixed with some calculated assessment of the situation and considerations for survival.

But at this moment, watching this man manipulate the representatives of the world's powers in such a domineering way, Yu Manli clearly felt that the last trace of hesitation and doubt in her heart had completely melted away.

Instead, there was an almost blind worship, a deep-seated sense of belonging, and an indescribable, fervent emotion that mixed pride and adoration.

This is her man!

She... was completely smitten.

It had nothing to do with threats or interests, but solely with the man himself and the overwhelming, unstoppable aura he exuded.

Shen Wang seemed to sense the unusually intense gaze behind him. He turned his head slightly, glanced at Yu Manli, whose cheeks were flushed and whose eyes were glazed, and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on his lips.

Ah, women!

. . .

The negotiations continued the following day.

Representatives from the four countries have contacted their respective countries overnight.

What they will see and hear in the city: the well-organized and advanced individual equipment, the anti-armor weapons that have been popularized to squads, the main battle tanks that have reached the advanced level of the great powers, and the jet fighters in the concept...

When they relayed all of the above back to their home countries overnight through top-secret channels, the four countries were stunned!

Shocking! Horrifying! Unbelievable!

The top directive was issued swiftly and almost without suspense; although the wording differed, the core message was remarkably consistent:

"Spar with all means to obtain key technology samples and design data!"

"We can discuss anything they want! Money, resources, even some artifacts... all are negotiable! Acquiring technology is our top priority!"

They are nothing but gold and silver, and some useless antiques and artifacts. For the four most powerful countries on the planet, they are not a problem at all!

Of course, that's the idea, but when it comes to actual negotiations, you still need to be careful and probe the other party's bottom line little by little.

This is an instinct in diplomatic and commercial maneuvering.

Thus, the negotiations began on the second day.

The atmosphere was even more somber than on the first day, but the representatives of the great powers were noticeably more "sensible," at least their outward arrogance had completely disappeared.

However, the process remains difficult.

The American representative first proposed a "package" plan: to return thirty selected artifacts and provide a "considerable" loan and technical assistance in exchange for "technical cooperation" on jet engines, tank armor technology, and some individual weapons.

After listening, Shen Wang only replied with one sentence: "Are you insulting my intelligence, or the judgment of those experts in your country?"

He then gestured for the guests to leave.

Germany, England, and the Soviet Union were all pretty much the same. Although they showed more sincerity than on the first day, they were still very stingy.

It's like squeezing toothpaste.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day... the days passed in a monotonous back-and-forth.

The representatives from the four countries arrived at the simple meeting room on time every day, just like going to work, and faced a bowl of steamed buns and pickled vegetables that seemed to never run out.

Now they've even started researching which type of pickled vegetable dumplings is more palatable when eaten with steamed buns.

Then they took turns going to Shen Wang's office, proposing a plan that was slightly "improved" from the previous day, only to be rejected by Shen Wang in various ways.

Shen Wang was genuinely annoyed.

These old foxes, despite receiving orders from the country to spare no expense, are still squeezing out every last drop of information, attempting to gain the greatest benefit with the least cost.

If it weren't for the beautiful agent Yu Manli keeping him entertained, he probably would have hit someone!

In his spare time these past few days, he taught Yu Manli quite a few positions... cough, knowledge.

To be fair, Yu Manli is indeed intelligent as a top-notch agent.

He not only learns all the knowledge that Shen Wang presents very quickly, but he can even apply it to other situations.

No matter what Shen Wang asked her to do, she would complete it meticulously without the slightest complaint...
