Eisen's public admission of his mistakes is no less significant than an ancient emperor issuing an edict of self-reproach.

His once-powerful influence was instantly crushed to rock bottom, and he became a villainous ruler that the media clamored to criticize!

Upon seeing the extra edition of *Reference News*, Ye Ling exclaimed with delight, slamming his fist on the table and saying:

"That bastard Eisen deserved it! He'd been giving us a hard time for the past few years, but he's finally fallen victim to us in his old age. Haha!"

Zhou Yunxiao cautioned, "And he'll be infamous for eternity. Even the Steel Sect and the Sui Sect wouldn't dare admit to espionage, yet he voluntarily confessed. I'm afraid there's no one like him before or since."

"Good lad, your brilliant idea for this propaganda campaign was brilliant; you really got your revenge!"

Zhou Yunxiao corrected him earnestly, "I think it should be called a brilliant plan."

"Heh, you've gotten cocky, haven't you?"

Ye Ling smiled and asked, "Since Eisen has taken the blame, the reason for attacking Nixon before is no longer valid. So, what's the next step?"

Zhou Yunxiao thought for a moment, "Although Nixon wasn't blamed and wasn't at fault in this matter, he's the vice president, and he's in cahoots with Eisen. Let's just hold him accountable. In short, let's launch a full-scale attack on him, and also have Hale record some footage..."

He shrugged with a mischievous grin. "If Hale publicly endorses Kenny's campaign, I think even the most oblivious voters will realize what's going on, right?"

Ye Ling thought about it and realized that this reverse support tactic was brilliant.

A U-2 pilot, captured in the East, first testified against the CIA for its crimes and betrayed his own beliefs, and then called for support for Kenneth. This is simply taking advantage of his position!

With this shift in balance, perhaps unexpected results can be achieved...

Ye Ling immediately contacted the special task force to discuss filming the video and mail it out as soon as possible.

What kind of butterfly effect this propaganda campaign will produce is beyond Zhou Yunxiao's control.

His mission was accomplished, having exerted a small external force on the two evenly matched candidates, Nixon and Kenny.

Whether this 0.17% vote balance can be broken remains to be seen...

……

Zhou Yunxiao returned to his post in the technical team of the First Test Department.

As the head of the overall team, he sorted out the new task arrangements.

The Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense has completed the overall design of the Dongfeng-2 missile, and the production and assembly of parts are being undertaken by various military factories.

If all goes well, perhaps next year we can complete the final assembly, inspection and delivery, and launch Dongguo's first medium-range surface-to-surface missile!

This is more than half a year earlier than the original timeline.

After all, the first flight of the Dongfeng-62 was conducted in March 3... but due to design flaws and lack of experience, the first flight failed.

However, Zhou Yunxiao currently has no access to the core technical blueprints. If he wants to prevent this accident, he can only wait until after the New Year when Dongfeng-2 enters the test site for technical review and fault analysis, and then offer his opinions at the appropriate time.

What he can do now is to inspect the new launch pad, target range landing area, and ground tracking and control network before Dongfeng-2 arrives at the launch site.

He also assisted in writing the "Operating Procedures" for the Dongfeng-2 launch mission and served as a night school instructor, explaining to the operators of the launch team the combustion chamber pressure, projectile vibration frequency, shutdown point speed, and other courses of Dongfeng-2.

This was a complex and tedious task. Not only the launch team, but also many comrades in the technical and measurement teams had to attend night school to learn about the new missile.

After all, the Dongfeng-2 is a completely independently developed missile, with its range and payload both doubled. The experience gained from the Dongfeng-1 is no longer applicable to this medium- and short-range weapon.

As the days went by, Zhou Yunxiao worked on drafting regulations and teaching night school. Before the election results were in, he received another unexpected surprise.

The big brother is starting to exert his strength!

The U-2 spy plane incident caused a serious crisis of trust and damage to the authority of Eisen and the United States, leading to a disunity within the Western camp at the UN General Assembly, with many opinions failing to reach a consensus.

In particular, when the American representative stood up to speak, another representative and his group shouted and banged on the table repeatedly to interrupt him, emphasizing that "this is a representative from a region where espionage is legal," and that "they are speaking on behalf of robbers; they are a bunch of shameless bastards!"

The American representative was rendered speechless by the criticism, and when the discussion turned to "the re-election of the permanent members of the UN General Assembly," he stood up again to try to interfere with the opinions of others.

So the representative took off his leather shoes from his seat and threw them at him, angrily cursing him as a "scoundrel's lackey." At the same time, he once again denounced Eisen's fabricated lies about the U-2 incident, calling him a disgrace to civilized society.

The group, led by the representative, fanned the flames and joined in condemning the thugs' lackeys.

The scene immediately descended into chaos. The host even broke his gavel, but still couldn't stop it. The brawl only subsided when representatives from both sides started punching and kicking each other and security personnel had to be called in.

Ultimately, due to the insecurity of the American representative and the wavering of Paris and London, the issue veered into a dramatic turn—

With 42 votes in favor, 34 votes against, and 22 abstentions, the island was expelled, and its seat on the permanent members of the Security Council was temporarily suspended pending further discussion!

Sui Zong expressed his dissatisfaction that only half of the proposals were passed, but said he had no choice but to accept it. He also emphasized the development and influence of the East and said that the seat would be reinstated one day.

After the meeting concluded, the news reached China.

Just after 7 p.m., after a series of crackling sounds, the loudspeakers at the Dongfeng Base headquarters broadcast the solemn, clear, and articulate voice of a broadcaster:

"Jiang Tingfu was expelled from the 15th UN General Assembly. Now broadcasting the press release: Dongxin News Agency, December 15th: At 10:00 AM on December 15th, 1960, the third session of the UN General Assembly adopted Item 1493 submitted by the Albanian representative… The delegation headed by Jiang Tingfu was disqualified and ordered to leave the assembly…"

"The meeting also announced that, pending a consensus on the issue of representation, the seat would be temporarily frozen, and no representative would exercise its rights. This result demonstrates that the calls from all peace-loving people for the restoration of our legitimate seat are growing ever stronger..."

"I believe that in the not-too-distant future, our legitimate rights will be restored, and history will prove that justice is invincible..."

The comrades listening to the broadcast in the base immediately erupted in cheers that were like a tsunami, one wave higher than the next.

Before long, the square was packed with people, and the sound of gongs and drums from the performing arts troupe was deafening.

Thousands of people spontaneously formed a Yangko dance team and celebrated together around the square. Their uniform brown-green military uniforms and red flags fluttering in the wind created a spectacular sight.

Zhou Yunxiao was originally watching the fun, but Xiao Su dragged him into the group.

She pulled a red ribbon and draped it over his shoulders, then told him that he could learn from her.

Zhou Yunxiao hurriedly followed suit, and among the soldiers, Xiao Su was the only one with a small, fair face who was particularly easy to recognize.

Her face was beaming with a big smile, like a white chrysanthemum blooming in the Gobi Desert.

In an instant, the square was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and cheers. The red ribbon on Zhou Yunxiao's shoulder fluttered along with thousands of other red ribbons, like a golden snake dancing wildly, more beautiful than a sky full of colorful clouds.

Every comrade's face was flushed with smiles, as simple and honest as sorghum.

Viewers in the live stream, witnessing this unique scene, were deeply moved, realizing all too well the significance of "returning to the UN General Assembly," having "historical script" in their hands.

[The Corn Emperor's fighting power is still off the charts! He's got Eisen's lying in his hand, and he's speaking louder than anyone else at the UN General Assembly!]

[Holy crap! The butterfly effect has occurred! A U-2 reconnaissance aircraft has advanced this related issue, achieving preliminary results!]

This is a good omen! Once our Project 596 takes off and our influence increases further, we won't even need Sui Zong to speak on our behalf; the UN General Assembly will practically have us carried in on a palanquin!

I was watching the live broadcast on the high-speed train, and when I heard that melodious announcement, tears just streamed down my face...

This kind of rustic folk dance was more exciting than any concert costing millions today; this was the true pinnacle of that era!

[Family, tonight let's go downstairs to the square dancing aunties and borrow two red ribbons, then dance with our ancestors from the 1960s!]
