Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Internationally.

The news that ten cities in Xiaori were destroyed by atomic bombs and most of the islands were sunk has caused a global uproar, much like a nuclear bomb itself.

The moment the news broke, phone lines in the capitals of all major countries were overwhelmed.

Diplomats were awakened from their sleep, telegraph machines ran day and night, and newspaper printing presses worked overtime, distributing extra editions to the streets one after another.

The New York Times headline read: "Ten Japanese Cities Destroyed, Another Nuclear Attack Strikes: Who's the Killer?"

The Times wrote: "Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedies repeat themselves; ten cities vanish in an instant."

Pravda's headline was even more direct: "The Ugly must be held responsible; only they possess atomic bombs."

Meanwhile, the front page of China's People's Daily only printed one line: "Ten Japanese cities attacked by nuclear weapons; international community strongly condemns."

No names were mentioned, but everyone knew who was being referred to.

The United Nations General Assembly convened urgently.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the representatives from various countries had solemn expressions, with whispers rising and falling among them.

The Japanese representative stood up, his face ashen, his hands on the table, leaning forward like a wild beast pouncing on its prey.

"We strongly condemn this barbaric nuclear strike against our little empire."

His voice echoed in the hall, filled with barely suppressed anger and trembling, "Ten cities, tens of millions of civilians, turned to ashes in an instant."

This is a crime against humanity, a war crime, genocide. We demand an explanation.

He turned to the seat of the U.S. representative, pointed in that direction, and almost roared: "This must have been done by the U.S. Only you have atomic bombs."

"You have a history of using atomic bombs; Hiroshima and Nagasaki are irrefutable proof of that."

The representative from the U.S. stood up with an innocent expression, spread his hands, and spoke calmly but firmly:

"Representative of the Little Days, your accusations are baseless. Our government solemnly declares that we have not carried out any form of nuclear strike against Japan."

Every one of our atomic bombs was numbered, every one was recorded, none were lost, none were authorized, and none were launched. Please provide evidence.

"evidence?"

The person in charge of the small day sneered, "Ten cities were flattened by atomic bombs, that in itself is evidence. Only you in the whole world have the ability to do that."

"Hiroshima and Nagasaki were in a time of war; now it is a time of peace."

The U.S. representative countered, "Our government has neither reason nor motive to launch a nuclear strike against Japan."

We are allies, partners, and friends. Why would we bomb our own allies?

"Then who knows why you're doing this?"

The man, seemingly resentful, gritted his teeth, saying, "Perhaps you see our economy rising too fast and want to contain us; perhaps you want to test new weapons; perhaps it was just one of your generals acting on impulse..."

"That's enough!"

The representative from the U.S. slammed his fist on the table. "Representative of the U.S., you're being unreasonable. If you can't produce solid evidence, don't make baseless accusations!"

The venue was noisy.

Representatives from various countries whispered among themselves; some shook their heads, some nodded, some sneered, and some sighed.

The Russian representative stood up and slowly said, "American representative, you say you didn't do it, then please tell me, who else could have done such a thing? In the whole world, only you have atomic bombs. That's a fact."

The American representative chimed in, "Yes, our American friends, you do indeed have the largest nuclear arsenal. It's hard for you to deny any involvement in this."

The representative from the United States pushed up his glasses and said sarcastically, "Perhaps the United States was testing some new weapon and accidentally missed its target."

The German representative, expressionless, said: "Whoever did it, there must be a thorough investigation. The culprit cannot be allowed to escape justice."

The Chinese representative remained silent, sitting in a corner, slowly sipping his tea, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

I was already incredibly happy inside.

Once the room had quieted down a bit, he put down his teacup, stood up, and spoke in a soft voice, each word clear and distinct:

"Our government believes that this nuclear strike was extremely serious and must be investigated to the fullest extent. We also express our condolences to the victims."

He paused, his lips twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "As for who the murderer is, we believe that the truth will come out one day."

"Little days" means they're in a hurry.

When the truth comes out, his empire may be gone.

"Representatives of China, don't you have anything to say? We are neighbors, you should support us!"

What about the face?

The Chinese representative looked at him and said calmly, "We have already expressed our condolences to the victims. What else do you want us to say?"

The representative opened his mouth but couldn't speak. He felt that the representative from China was just giving him the runaround, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The meeting room erupted into chaos again.

Representatives from various countries offered conflicting accounts, with some blaming the U.S., some defending it, some demanding a thorough investigation, and others suggesting sanctions.

They argued for hours without reaching a conclusion.

The White House, the Oval Office.

The president sat behind his desk, with reports spread out in front of him, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly.

The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of the CIA all stood before him, their faces grave.

"Did we do it?"

The defense minister shook his head: "Absolutely not. All our nuclear warheads are strictly controlled, and not a single one has been lost."

Moreover, judging from their explosive yield and radiation characteristics, these bombs are not compatible with our existing models; they are not our weapons.

The CIA director added, "Our spies in the small world have also reported that no aircraft debris was found at the explosion site."

There were no missile fragments, no trace of any man-made objects; those atomic bombs seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Appeared out of thin air?"

The president stared at him. "You're telling me, an atomic bomb can appear out of thin air?"

The director swallowed hard: "I know this sounds absurd, but all the evidence points to this."

Radar detected no aircraft, missiles, or ships, and satellites captured nothing unusual; they simply...fell from the sky.

The president remained silent.

I stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the lawn outside.

The sun was shining brightly, but his hands were trembling.

"So, who did it? Besides us, who else has an atomic bomb?"

"The Russian bear has it."

The defense minister said, "But their atomic bomb technology is different from ours. Judging from the characteristics of the explosions, the technology of these bombs is more advanced and cannot be made by the Russian bear."

"Then who else?"

No one answered.

The office was deathly silent.

"Could it be China? After all, they and the locals are sworn enemies."

"Impossible, China hasn't done that yet."

The Secretary of State said cautiously, "Mr. President, international opinion is currently very unfavorable to us."

Almost all countries believe we did it, and we must find an explanation as soon as possible, otherwise…”

"Otherwise what?"

The president turned around. "What else can they do to us? Sanctions? Condemnations? Can they drop a nuclear bomb on Washington?"

No one dared to speak.

The president took a deep breath and walked back to his desk to sit down.

"Notify the State Department to issue a statement reiterating the denial. At the same time, request the United Nations to send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter. We are willing to cooperate."

He paused for a moment, then added, "In addition, strengthen security for the nuclear arsenal to prevent anyone from framing us."

"Yes."

The crowd responded.

The president leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

This matter will not be easily forgotten.

Those damned days, those gloating Europeans, that covetous Russian bear, and that taciturn China... they're all waiting to see the Ugly country make a fool of itself.

He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Only those who have wronged you truly know how wronged you are.
