Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048

Ruan Zhongnan was truly a fool at this moment, saying that the Stars and Stripes Country would stand by him, but now that he was beaten, they didn't even bother to intervene.

Knowing that pretending could lead to getting beaten, Ruan Zhongnan became honest; if he didn't, he would indeed get beaten.

At this point, Ye Ningbing stepped out to smooth things over, inviting everyone to take their seats.

On Yongfan Island, Ye Ningbing mainly handles diplomacy. Although she hasn't been on the island for long, she can handle many matters with ease. In this regard, Ye Ningbing has showcased her powerful diplomatic talents.

After everyone was seated, someone had already brought in refreshments.

Previously pretending, Ruan Zhongnan really dared not say a word now, sitting quietly in the corner without daring to utter a useless word.

"Mr. Ding, I believe you may have guessed the reason for my visit," Smith said to Ding Fan after taking a sip of tea.

Smith was direct, and Ding Fan didn't waste words either. He simply nodded.

Seeing Ding Fan's response, Smith then spoke, "Mr. Ding, Vietnam Country and you are neighboring countries, there's no matter that can't be resolved, there's no need to resort to war and flames."

"Smith, surely you know, earlier it was Vietnam Country that bombarded our ally South Africa, and they attacked the cargo ships of our Yongfan Island construction, which is why we deployed our troops," Ding Fan said calmly.

Smith felt a bit speechless.

What Ding Fan mentioned wasn't really a justification for war. At most, it was a minor conflict that could have been resolved through diplomatic channels, yet Ding Fan boldly deployed his warships without hesitation.

The Stars and Stripes Country is already quite hegemonic in this world, but even they aren't as domineering as Yongfan Island.

Without engaging in any diplomatic dealings, they directly deployed troops to invade.

"Mr. Ding, even if Vietnam Country was at fault first, your troops have already disciplined them. I wonder if this matter can already be resolved," Smith said.

With things having reached this point, Smith could only approach the problem with the aim of resolution.

At this time, Ruan Zhongnan, who had not spoken, also stood up. "Your country eliminated our entire navy and occupied three of our important cities. This is outright invasion..."

At this point, Ding Fan didn't bother to explain much. "You're right; we are indeed invading."

After Ding Fan spoke, Ruan Zhongnan wasn't sure how to respond.

Ye Ningbing and Hu Jin were both speechless; among world leaders, few dare to candidly admit to invading like Ding Fan does.

Elder Mu also rubbed his temples thoughtfully, remaining silent.

Ding Fan couldn't care less about what those around him thought.

In both the Cultivation World and on Earth, there exists a common principle.

And that is the law of the jungle.

If you lack strength, you deserve to be bullied.

Worried about being attacked by public opinion?

Ding Fan had nothing to fear.

In today's world, people admire the wealthy, not the virtuous; people always worship victors. There are plenty willing to add flowers to the brocade, but who wants to give charcoal in the snow?

Therefore, Ding Fan is not worried about anyone stepping forward to help Vietnam Country, seeing them being bullied too explicitly.

Ding Fan glanced at Ruan Zhongnan beside him. "From now on, you need to understand one truth. As a defeated nation seeking peace from me, you must learn to lower your posture."

Beside him, Ruan Zhongnan's face turned red.

Ding Fan had completely overwhelmed him in terms of momentum.

When Ruan Zhongnan first arrived at Yongfan Island, he thought that with the representative of the Stars and Stripes Country accompanying him, the people of Yongfan Island would certainly dare not do anything to him.

They would bow and scrape before him. After all, the Stars and Stripes Country is the world's number one superpower; how could these islanders possibly dare to act pretentious in front of the Stars and Stripes Country?

But now, Ruan Zhongnan realized all his assumptions were wrong.

Yongfan Island showed no face to him Ruan Zhongnan, despite the Stars and Stripes Country's presence. Didn't Ding Fan just slap him so hard earlier?

Ruan Zhongnan then sat back down.

What Ding Fan said was correct; he came seeking peace as a defeated nation, and he indeed had to keep a low profile. Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Elder Mu, witnessing this, though he felt Ding Fan's diplomatic approach was somewhat immature, yet this seemingly immature diplomatic tactic proved to be incredibly effective.

If not for this absolute oppression, there would have been a lot of verbal sparring.

"Mr. Ding Fan, since we've come to this point, as your old friend, I want to ask, how does your nation plan to end this war?" Smith asked.

Ding Fan glanced at Smith. "To be honest, for now, we haven't planned to end this war quickly."

Smith was stunned by Ding Fan's words.

It's known that Yongfan Island's warships have sunk Vietnam Country's navy. On land, they've occupied three cities.

Such blatant acts of invasion are rare in modern times.

Yet Ding Fan said they don't plan to end this war; do they intend to fight right into Vietnam Country's capital?

"Mr. Ding, I hope you could end this war soon; the world's development theme is peace and growth right now. If you continue to attack, I think our Stars and Stripes Country won't stand by and watch," Smith said.

Smith's words carried a hint of threat.

But Ding Fan casually glanced at Smith.

"So you're threatening me?"

Smith didn't answer directly. He simply said calmly, "Mr. Ding, you should understand the current situation. Your persistent stance will only bring calamity upon you. You should be aware of the combat strength of The Stars and Stripes Country..."

Ding Fan smiled. "If that's the case, why don't you give it a try?"

With these words, Ding Fan stood up directly. "See the guest out."

Smith was taken aback.

He didn't expect Ding Fan to say such words outright. After all, The Stars and Stripes Country is considered the world's policeman; even Huaxia Country wouldn't have the audacity to shout about taking on The Stars and Stripes Country.

"Mr. Ding, you wouldn't seriously think your military could defeat The Stars and Stripes Country, would you?" Smith said as he stood behind Ding Fan.

Ding Fan didn't listen to Smith's words at all and strode out of the venue.

Elder Mu watched Ding Fan's back, and his expression wasn't as severe as before. On the contrary, he showed a hint of admiration watching Ding Fan's retreating figure.

Ding Fan's Yongfan Island is, after all, a newly established nation in the region.

If they were really suppressed by The Stars and Stripes Country now and stopped the war under its intimidation, then in future international affairs, Yongfan Island would inevitably face numerous constraints.

Such courage is truly commendable.

"Mr. Smith!" Ruan Zhongnan stood up directly after seeing Ding Fan leave.

Smith's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He slowly stood up, glanced at the Huaxia Country representative beside him, and waved to Ruan Zhongnan like he was calling for a dog.

Ruan Zhongnan didn't waste words, and obediently followed Smith out.

With Ding Fan gone, the remaining matters naturally fell to Hu Jin and Ye Ningbing, who sent off the representatives of Vietnam Country and The Stars and Stripes Country.

After seeing off the representatives of the two countries, Ding Fan invited Elder Mu back to his villa once again.

Originally, Elder Mu intended to persuade Ding Fan to stop the invasion of Vietnam Country, but after witnessing today's events, he found himself unable to make decisions for Ding Fan anymore.

In Ding Fan's villa, everyone took a simple break, and then Ding Fan arranged for people to take Elder Mu and others to rest.

The day after the representative from The Stars and Stripes Country visited Yongfan Island, media from The Stars and Stripes Country released a major news report.

The Stars and Stripes Country strongly condemned Yongfan Island's military invasion of Vietnam Country.

Experts and scholars on international affairs smelled the scent of war upon seeing this news.

In the past, The Stars and Stripes Country has launched military invasions under the pretext of certain countries hiding nuclear weapons; such cases are countless.

Therefore, many experts and scholars believe this is the prelude to war between The Stars and Stripes Country and Yongfan Island.

All kinds of reports followed one after another.

Vietnam incident, what will happen next, The Stars and Stripes Country Congress discusses armed intervention.

Public websites also commented on this matter.

Netizens believe that although Yongfan Island has won several victories, they still lack the ability to compete against The Stars and Stripes Country.

Many netizens listed some data of The Stars and Stripes Country's foreign wars in recent years.

They were almost all victories against larger forces with fewer resources, absolute triumphs.

After collecting these materials, Ye Ningbing hurriedly sought Ding Fan, and analyzed the current international situation with him.

Ding Fan, although unfamiliar with diplomacy, realized that international affairs are no different from disputes among sects in the Cultivation World.

The other words are useless; what truly matters is whose fist is bigger.

He then directly ordered Huang Can to prepare all troops for war readiness.

After ordering Huang Can and the others, Ding Fan shut himself in his villa.

He began intensely crafting Defense Talismans and Invisibility Talismans.

Previously, Yongfan Island's victories over India, Vietnam Country, and even the Philippine were due to the effectiveness of these Runes.

Using Invisibility Talismans made it impossible for the opponent to detect missile launches, while Defense Talismans allowed Yongfan Island's warships to withstand at least three precise missile strikes.

It's precisely because of his confidence in his military power that Ding Fan dared to challenge The Stars and Stripes Country.

Now Yongfan Island has just established a position on the world stage. The world's powers have been watching closely for a long time.

War with the world's top military power, even without this conflict with Vietnam Country, Yongfan Island would eventually clash with The Stars and Stripes Country.

Since that's the case, better to fight sooner than later.

And on the third day after The Stars and Stripes Country publicly denounced Yongfan Island. The Stars and Stripes Country's Congress collectively passed the resolution to use military force against Yongfan Island.

Following the resolution, The Stars and Stripes Country's Seventh Carrier Strike Group quickly began moving towards the Yongfan Island region.

Worldwide, all media once again focused their attention on Yongfan Island.

Once, Yongfan Island triumphed over Vietnam Country, India, and the Philippine when everyone thought poorly of them.

People are curious to see how Yongfan Island will perform when facing the colossal force of The Stars and Stripes Country.

Will they suffer a sweeping defeat, or will they, as before, achieve a result that astonishes everyone?

The world's eyes are all focused here!
