#424 - Chapter 424: The one who draws the cake is not serious

Subsequently, on April 15, 2055, another explosive piece of news arrived.

The Great Sun Nation announced the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations with the North Asian Ulan Neutral Zone.

The Huaxia Council: "… …"

It's confirmed. It's likely that Dongfang Chen is the mastermind behind this.

"Xiao Chen, tell me honestly, has the recent commotion in the Great Sun Nation been orchestrated by you?" Yan Zhengping asked curiously over the phone.

"Commander Yan, aren't you overestimating me? That's a country; do I have that kind of power?" Dongfang Chen didn't admit it.

He definitely couldn't admit it.

He wanted to use the Great Sun Nation to wreak havoc on the world, so how could he shoulder such a burden?

"If it wasn't you, why would they disband the pro-Huaxia dispatched army immediately after Tomita Hirobumi's downfall and establish diplomatic relations with you?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm a businessman. They were willing to give me crystal cores, so I reluctantly agreed to establish diplomatic relations with them," Dongfang Chen said.

"Give you crystal cores? Why? Because you're so thick-skinned?" Yan Zhengping didn't believe it.

"Commander Yan, it's no fun chatting like this. In my opinion, you have a typical case of resentment towards the rich," Dongfang Chen said.

"Resentment towards the rich? Don't try to sweet-talk me! Confess honestly, you haven't been funding the enemy, have you?" Yan Zhengping thought of a possibility.

"I haven't, how could I? Don't talk nonsense!" Dongfang Chen flatly denied it.

Got it, it's confirmed!

If this guy really hadn't been funding the enemy, he would have yelled by now.

"Xiao Chen, do you know how serious the consequences of doing this are? If they use these equipment to attack Huaxia, do you know how many people will die?" Yan Zhengping sternly rebuked.

Dongfang Chen knew that this matter couldn't be concealed sooner or later.

Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Great Sun Nation were already wearing combat suits. A simple investigation would reveal the truth.

"Commander Yan, listen to me. This matter isn't what you think!" Dongfang Chen prepared to explain.

"I won't listen!" Yan Zhengping roared.

"… …" Dongfang Chen felt that this line was strange, and goosebumps immediately rose all over his body.

"Alright, I admit that I'm indeed stirring up trouble in the Great Sun Nation, but I've tampered with all the equipment I sold to them. As long as they don't attack Huaxia, there won't be any problems. You understand what I mean, right? It's not just the Great Sun Nation; the Rossia Nation also purchased a lot of equipment from me some time ago, and it's all been tampered with," Dongfang Chen said as if coaxing a child.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! Don't you think I would dig a hole for myself? If they used the equipment I made to attack me, wouldn't that be a huge joke?" Dongfang Chen said.

"That's true!"

"Exactly! Otherwise, why would the pro-Huaxia dispatched army be disbanded? Because once they discover that the combat suits are ineffective, my show can't go on. So, Lao Yan, you can't tell anyone about this, understand?" Dongfang Chen even called him Lao Yan.

"Alright, I'll trust you this once!" Yan Zhengping nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right, how are the rats breeding?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"We've already bred more than 100. Wait a little longer. When there are about a thousand, I'll send them to you," Dongfang Chen said.

"Good!" Yan Zhengping replied with satisfaction.

… …

Tomita Sayoko was a bit arrogant, but she was still very capable.

Now that she had Dongfang Chen's support, she was like a fish in water.

After completing the cabinet and troop reforms, she began to launch the construction plan for military industrial projects.

First was the navy.

Following Dongfang Chen's instructions, Tomita Sayoko surrounded a shipyard in Miyazaki City, planning to build a naval base there.

She said she wanted to build a naval base, but he thought it was just a pie in the sky.

Doesn't building a base require workers? Doesn't it require construction equipment? Doesn't it require raw materials?

Just surrounding a large area with iron sheets is enough?

Too perfunctory, right?

Later, he went there several times, but there was no movement on the construction site.

After that, he simply stopped going.

Why should he, the pie-eater, be so concerned when the pie-maker isn't?

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

June 18, 2056.

On this day, Tomita Sayoko received a message from Dongfang Chen, saying that the naval base was built and he should go over to take over.

After the handover was completed, soldiers could be arranged to be stationed there.

Tomita Sayoko was stunned.

Are you kidding me?

You can draw a pie, but you actually want me to eat it!?

But since Dongfang Chen specifically gave the order, he had to go, even if it was just for show.

After it's done, he'll shout "It smells so good!" to complete the task.

As expected!

When he led his troops to the Miyazaki Shipyard, the circle of iron sheet fences was still there. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and there was no sign of construction.

"A few of you go over and tear this down," Tomita Sayoko ordered.

Several soldiers ran over and cleared a path in minutes.

Tomita Sayoko took the lead and walked in.
