National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

The Supreme People's Court of the capital city of the Dragon Kingdom.

Special Court No. 1.

This was an unprecedented trial, broadcast live simultaneously on television stations and online platforms in 120 countries around the world.

There was one person standing in the dock.

Yuichi Takahashi.

Instead of wearing his custom-made high-end suit, he wore a baggy orange prison uniform.

Heavy steel shackles were on his wrists and ankles, and his once meticulously styled hair now looked like a clump of dry straw.

Two days ago, he was the prime minister of Japan, sitting in a nuclear bunker drinking red wine.

Now, he is a prisoner.

"Bang."

The presiding judge struck the gavel... and the entire courtroom fell silent.

"Court is now in session."

In the prosecutor's seat, the chief prosecutor of the Dragon Kingdom stood up and opened the case file in front of him.

"The defendant, Yuichi Takahashi, secretly colluded with foreign intelligence agencies while serving as Prime Minister of Japan."

They attempted to carry out a nuclear terrorist attack on my country's East China Sea and coastal cities using "dirty bombs" loaded with highly concentrated radioactive isotopes.

The prosecutor's voice was cold and hard, echoing in the hall.

"This action is intended to cause large-scale civilian casualties and damage the marine ecosystem."

Their actions have seriously violated fundamental principles of international law and constitute crimes against humanity and crimes of nuclear terrorism.

"With the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, it has been decided to file a public prosecution against Yuichi Takahashi."

Based on the nature of his crimes and the potential harm he caused, he was classified as a Class A war criminal!

Class A war criminal.

The moment those four words were uttered, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

It's been a hundred years.

Since the end of World War II, that shrine, which enshrines countless evil spirits, has remained a thorn in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Today, the Chinese have arrested a current prime minister and placed him directly on the pillar of shame as a Class A war criminal.

Yuichi Takahashi suddenly raised his head, gripping the railing of the defendant's dock with both hands, the shackles rattling.

"I protest! You have no jurisdiction! I am the democratically elected prime minister of a sovereign nation; this is illegal political kidnapping!"

Takahashi screamed, spitting onto the microphone.

"I want to see the judges of the International Criminal Court! I want to see the ambassador of the United States!"

The presiding judge looked at him coldly.

"Protest invalid."

The large screen lights up.

High-resolution photos of the Tek bombs seized in the East China Sea, a video of Viper's confession, and the navigation log of the Japanese-made Taikuji-class submarine.

The original secret orders found in the underground bunker of the Prime Minister's official residence were like a mountain of irrefutable evidence crashing down on Takahashi's face.

"Defendant, when you issued this 'East China Sea Special Purification Operation Order,' were you aware of the radiation equivalent of the dirty bomb?" the prosecutor asked.

Takahashi trembled all over, his lips quivering: "That...that was because the US forced me to do it! They said Tektronix was foolproof..."

"I'm asking you, do you understand?" the prosecutor raised his voice.

"I...I..." Takahashi's legs went weak, and he slumped into the chair.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, any sophistry appears pale and laughable.

The live stream then switched to the United States.

Seeing Takahashi's pathetic, groveling behavior on the screen, the decision-maker was so angry that he smashed the remote control against the television.

"Useless! Can't you even deny it to the death?!"

The Secretary of State stood to the side, his face pale: "Mr. President, serious divisions have emerged within NATO."

The Gallic Empire and the British Empire just issued a joint statement supporting the Chinese Empire's efforts to combat nuclear terrorism.

The decision-maker turned and stared intently at him: "Are they insane?!"

"They're not crazy. They're scared," the Secretary of State said with a wry smile.

"The fact that China can silently paralyze the Tek cloaking field, sail its fleet into Tokyo Bay, and capture people from bunkers sixty meters underground proves one thing."

"What is it?"

"The Dragon Kingdom's conventional military strength and special operations capabilities, coupled with the national fortune rewards they have received, have completely surpassed ours."

"Anyone who dares to speak up for Japan now will be the next target for China's live-fire exercises."

In court, the trial entered its final stage.

"The defendant, Yuichi Takahashi, is guilty of crimes against humanity and nuclear terrorism. The evidence is conclusive, and his crimes are heinous."

The presiding judge stood up, and the entire audience stood up.

"Sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately."

The gavel fell.

Yuichi Takahashi rolled his eyes and wet his pants.

Two bailiffs stepped forward, grabbed him from both sides, and dragged him out of the courtroom.

A water stain was left on the floor.

The moment the death sentence was handed down.

The entire Dragon Kingdom was in an uproar.

The pent-up frustration that had been building up for a century was finally released at this moment.

Long Quoc Van Province was returned to China several decades ago.

It was a silent war without gunfire.

At that time, the Dragon Kingdom showed great patience and sincerity in its efforts to achieve peaceful unification.

However, right-wing forces in Japan and the United States have been making malicious moves behind the scenes, supplying weapons, providing intelligence, and even smearing Japan in international public opinion.

At that time, the Dragon Kingdom was not strong enough to overturn the table.

For the sake of the bigger picture and for the sake of development, the Dragon Kingdom endured it. They swallowed their anger.

The older generation of generals looked at the nautical chart, slammed their fists on the table, and could only grit their teeth and say, "Wait until we become strong."

Today, we are powerful.

New and old grudges, with interest, will all be settled together.

In Beijing, in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky.

There was no organization, no call to action.

From the first hour after the verdict was announced, people from all directions spontaneously flocked to the site.

Wreaths and white chrysanthemums were piled up layer upon layer on the steps.

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing a faded old military uniform, was being supported by his grandson.

He walked shakily to the monument. His chest was covered with medals for first-class and second-class merit.

The old man pushed his grandson's hand away, straightened his hunched back with difficulty, raised his right hand, and gave a perfectly standard military salute.

"Old company commander, squad leader, Liu Zi..." The old man's voice was hoarse, his eyes red-rimmed, "Did you see that?"

"Our warships have sailed into their doorstep."

"We arrested their leader and sentenced him to death."

"The land is safe and sound, the wolves have been brought to justice. You... rest in peace!"

The old man lowered his hands, covered his face, and burst into tears like a child.

The surrounding crowd wept silently.

Not just in the capital.

Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall.

Countless people stood in silence before the eternal flame, mourning.

The low sirens echoed over the city, this time not to commemorate humiliation, but to proclaim victory.

Northeast China, Anti-Japanese Martyrs' Cemetery.

Bottles of liquor were poured in front of the tombstone, the aroma of which mingled with the scent of earth.

Online, emotions erupt like a volcano.

"I cried. My great-great-grandfather lost his leg in a bombing raid by Japanese planes. Today, I can finally stand at his grave and say, 'My revenge has been achieved!'"

"What does it mean for a great power to rise? This is it! I won't argue with you, I won't protest, but if you dare to make a move, I'll just overturn your table and burn you and your chair!"

"Zhang Li fights desperately in the other world, while the nation stands firm in the real world. This prosperous age is just as you wished!"

"From today onwards, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!"

The strength of the Dragon Kingdom has not only ignited the domestic economy but also shocked the world.

United Nations Headquarters, New York.

The atmosphere at the emergency Security Council meeting was extremely strange.

The representative from the Dragon Kingdom sat in his seat, slowly sipping the tea from his thermos.

The national representatives who used to be the most enthusiastic were all silent today.

The South Korean representative kept his head down, looking at the table the whole time, and even his breathing was very careful.

After learning of Takahashi's arrest, their president immediately announced an "indefinite sick leave," leaving the mess to the prime minister.

Just kidding, if China can arrest people in Tokyo, it can arrest people in Seoul too.

The representative from India went even further, repeatedly emphasizing his country's respect for China during his speech, and even proposing to designate today as "International Day Against Nuclear Terrorism".

The representative from Gaul stood up and straightened his suit.

"Gallic Kingdom fully understands and supports Dragon Kingdom's determination to combat terrorism."

The international community must impose the most severe sanctions on Japan for such outrageous behavior.

The representative of the British Empire followed closely behind:

"I second that proposal. We suggest immediately freezing all of Japan's overseas assets to compensate countries affected by the nuclear threat."

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

The representative of the United States sat at the head of the table, his face ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word.

His instructions from home were: remain silent and do not provoke the Dragon Kingdom.

End of the meeting.

The representative from the Dragon Kingdom was the first to stand up and leave.

Representatives from other countries readily made way, their gazes no longer filled with calculation and disdain, but with undisguised awe.

This is a dominant position earned through strength.

Truth always lies within the range of cannon fire.

The decision-maker of the United States was completely encased in a large leather chair.

His eyes were fixed on the large screen on the wall.

The screen was muted, and the video of the public trial at the Supreme Court of the Dragon Kingdom played on a loop.

"Useless." The decision-maker's voice was hoarse.

The Secretary of State stood two meters in front of the desk, half his face hidden in the darkness:

"Mr. President, things are in complete chaos on Capitol Hill."

"Let them cause trouble," the decision-maker sneered.

"A bunch of fools who only care about votes and immediate gains. They have no idea that the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will soon no longer be determined by humans."

The Secretary of State paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

The decision-maker opened the bottom drawer of his desk and entered a complex password.

The drawer popped open, revealing no documents, only a palm-sized, jet-black metal instrument.

The instrument's surface is covered with Tektronix's signature blue geometric patterns, which are now flashing at a faint frequency.

"Does the Dragon Kingdom think that by developing a few full-band jammers and capturing our stealth submarines, it can dominate the Blue Star? How utterly laughable."

The Secretary of State's gaze fell on the instrument: "Tek civilization... has it responded?"

"It's not just a response."

"They're already in the solar system!"

"Where are they?"

"Jupiter," the decision-maker uttered.

"Once Jupiter's resistance is completely crushed, the Tek civilization will be able to use Jupiter as a springboard to extract energy from the giant planet."

The decision-maker walked around the desk, lowering his voice.

"At that time, what will descend will be an interstellar fortress that blots out the sky. The Dragon Kingdom's national dome? The Dongfeng missiles? In the face of this dimensional reduction attack, they are nothing but primitive man's firewood!"

The Secretary of State swallowed hard. "Then we..."

"We are the agents of the new world."
