Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

The people of Sakura Country also began to re-examine their choices. They understood that at this critical moment, only by choosing a strong ally could they ensure their safety and future.

"That's great! I didn't expect that the manufacturing of the Great Shang Kingdom is so excellent!" A citizen of Sakura Country exclaimed.

"This time I believe them! As long as they are willing to do something, they will definitely do it well! So we decided to follow them in the future!" another citizen echoed.

However, some netizens expressed their concerns: "It's useless to say this! It still depends on what the leaders think! If they still decide to follow Atlantis, no one will believe them anymore!"

These comments from netizens reflect the inner struggles of the people of Sakura Country. They know that their choices will determine their future destiny. The leadership also feels this pressure. They understand that they must make wise choices now to ensure the future of the country.

"Everyone! I think everyone should know what to do now!" The leader spoke at the meeting. "Although we are still without water and electricity, and media reporters may have some impact on us. But I still want to tell you that the current situation is very clear! We should choose a strong ally again!"

However, some people in the parliament still expressed concerns: "Mr. Leader! This is a good idea! But don't forget the war that once took place between us and the Great Shang Kingdom! That was the biggest contradiction between our two countries!"

During a tense meeting, a member of parliament stepped forward and expressed his deep concern: if this matter is not properly resolved, the misunderstandings and contradictions between the two countries will be as hard to melt as ice. His words were full of determination that could not be ignored. After all, the bridge of peace requires the joint efforts of both sides.

The leader's brows were furrowed, and he felt mixed emotions.

The past is like a complicated history book that is difficult to turn the pages easily.

The policy direction always seems to change inadvertently, leaving behind only suspicion among the people and endless debate on the Internet.

Today, cyberspace has become an emotional battlefield, with rational voices often drowned out by the torrent of mutual accusations.

However, the changes in the situation are always unexpected. The people and netizens of Dashang are watching their every move with unprecedented expectation, waiting for a positive signal. So, at the end of another emergency meeting, a major decision was born: repairing relations with Dashang is not only necessary, but also urgent. The arrogance and alienation of the past must be abandoned and replaced by sincere cooperation and equal dialogue.

The next two weeks were a period of hard work and waiting for that country day and night.

Finally, the haze of volcanic ash gradually dissipated, blue sky became the background of daily life again, and the pulse of the city gradually returned to normal. But under the surface of calm, there are scars that cannot be ignored. Although the volcano did not directly invade, its chain reaction has left the surrounding areas devastated, and the road to reconstruction is long and difficult. The leaders looked at the ruins with helplessness and anxiety, and the sluggish domestic economy made the situation worse.

At the same time, they noticed that the small countries in the southeast were thriving because they followed the footsteps of the Shang Kingdom. This discovery undoubtedly provided new ideas for the leaders.

Pros, a senior figure in the diplomatic community, was enjoying a rare leisure time when a sudden phone call interrupted his tranquility. The news from the other end of the phone surprised him - the leader planned to visit the Big Bear Country. Pros couldn't help but laugh. The dispute between the Sakura Country and the Big Bear Country had not been sorted out yet, and this move undoubtedly threw a stone on the calm lake.

"It seems that following Atlantis has only brought us disappointment and trouble." The foreign minister's tone revealed helplessness. "Their aid often turns into poison at critical moments. Food poisoning incidents occur frequently, which is chilling."

Hearing this, Pros' eyes flashed with cunning: "In that case, let them come. We can take this opportunity to see the sincerity of the Great Bear Nation."

Soon after, the leader officially announced the plan of a state visit to the Great Bear Country. This news was like a bomb, causing an uproar in the Sakura Country. Put, the important diplomat of the Sakura Country, was a little at a loss for a while.

"Are they crazy? Are they really going to abandon us and join the Big Bear Country?" Put was extremely anxious and immediately found Lawrence, hoping that he could serve as a special envoy to save this shaky alliance.

Lawrence seemed quite calm: "Leader, I think it would be more appropriate for you to go in person on this visit. After all, it was me who provided those expired foods. If I go there now to say that we are firm allies, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince people. It would be more convincing if you go in person." After saying that, Lawrence actually took out a letter of resignation from his pocket and stated his position.

Put had no choice but to find another way and urgently contacted Sakura Country to try to save the situation. However, Jiangchuan, the observer, just laughed it off. He believed that Atlantis Country could always occupy the moral high ground at critical moments.

However, when the news of Put's upcoming visit came, the leaders of Sakura wanted to refuse, but were dissuaded by members of the parliament. They were worried that if they refused at this time, it might anger Atlantis, after all, their troops were still stationed in Sakura. In the end, the leaders reluctantly agreed to the meeting, but their hearts were full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

Before his visit, Putt gave a speech on the lawn of the Little White House, promising to provide a loan of 500 million to help Sakura Country rebuild. However, this move was quickly overshadowed by the diplomatic statement of the Great Shang Country. The Great Shang Country stated that they would launch all-round cooperation with Sakura Country, not only in terms of funds, but also in providing assistance in various fields to ensure the full recovery of Sakura Country.

This comparison caused a lot of discussion among netizens in Sakura Country. They began to question whether Atlantis Country's loan was sincere, after all, the loan needed to be repaid and was accompanied by interest. The Great Business Country, on the other hand, was more generous and comprehensive, not only providing funds, but also bringing practical projects and help, which won praise from netizens. Putt finally arrived in Big Bear Country. Although the reception standards remained the same, the atmosphere of the conversation was very different. Putt directly raised his doubts and expressed his confusion about Sakura Country's turn to Big Bear Country. The leader of Big Bear Country was helpless and said that this was also a last resort. The public support rate was equally important. They must make changes to win the hearts of the people.

In order to ease the tension, Big Bear proposed to import materials from India to help Sakura. However, this proposal was quickly rejected by India, whose wheat exports were currently restricted. Put had no choice but to consider buying wheat from Big Bear, but the plan was shelved due to price issues.

Although some agreements were signed on the surface during this visit, no substantial progress was made. On the third day after Putt returned, the leader of Sakura announced a plan to visit Dashang. This move shocked and angered Putt, who felt that he had been fooled.

When the leaders of Sakura Country met Pross, they bowed and apologized in public, expressing their willingness to resolve the main contradiction first. Pross cleverly seized this opportunity and brought the two sides back to the negotiation table.

This series of events not only shocked the international community, but also made people see the complex and ever-changing side of international relations.

During this meeting, Pross showed unprecedented magnanimity.

He said slowly, "Regarding that controversial issue, we might as well put it aside for the time being. There is no need to rush to send troops to intervene. Maintaining the status quo may be a good option. Your current priority should be to restore economic construction with all your strength. If necessary, we are willing to provide assistance within our capacity. After all, our heavy industry and military strength are quite strong."

Hearing this, the leader couldn't help but sigh, looking somewhat helpless. He responded: "We came here to apologize with sincerity. At the same time, we also hope to purchase some high-quality refined oil and various materials from your country to alleviate our plight of resource shortage."

Hearing this, Pross smiled and agreed readily: "I can meet all these requirements, and the price is absolutely fair. The whole world knows that our prices are as affordable as cabbage. However, to achieve this, you still need to communicate further with the Great Shang Kingdom. After all, we are like brothers with them, and there are many things that need to be discussed together."

After hearing this, the leader nodded in agreement and promised to go to Dashang Kingdom for negotiations in person. He knew that the success or failure of this meeting depended largely on the attitude of Dashang Kingdom.

Soon after, the leader and his party arrived at Dashang. The reception standards of Dashang were extremely high, especially the meeting with the leader, which made him feel at home. The leader said enthusiastically: "Thank you very much for your generous help. If it weren't for your timely help, our problem would probably not be solved so quickly."

Jiang Chuan also participated in the meeting. He quietly observed the leader's behavior and speech, secretly guessing his intentions. Suddenly, the leader asked Jiang Chuan a request: "Mr. Jiang Chuan, I understand that your civilian industry has developed quite well. I wonder if it is possible to invest in building a factory here and jointly promote the economic development of both sides?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and responded tactfully: "Trade exchanges are naturally no problem, but direct investment to build a factory may be a little difficult. After all, your resources are relatively scarce and labor costs are high. Such an investment may not be able to obtain the expected return."

After hearing this, the leader shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that it would not be easy to gain the full support of the Great Shang Kingdom. Jiang Chuan continued, "In fact, if we want to truly achieve cooperation, we must first resolve historical issues. Today, the attitude of the countries around us is not friendly to you. This is an indisputable fact. I say this in the hope that we can be honest with each other and face these challenges together."

Upon hearing this, the leader could not help but express his appreciation for Jiang Chuan's straightforwardness. He knew very well that although Jiang Chuan's words were harsh, they were real and realistic issues. He continued, "Now you want us to provide assistance, but I think before that we need to reach a consensus document that all three parties can accept. At the same time, you must also make your position clear and not be tied to other countries, let alone impose sanctions on them. My suggestion is that you'd better reach a settlement with the Great Bear Country and lift all sanctions against them."

After hearing this, the leader couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was worried that such an approach would anger Atlantis and cause their assets in the country to be frozen. However, Jiang Chuan gave a completely different opinion: "I think it would be a good thing if your assets were frozen by Atlantis. At least it means that we can start doing business. Look at those countries that followed Atlantis, how many of them ended up well?"

Although the meeting was not open to the public, Jiang Chuan's words were like a sharp knife that pierced the leader's heart. He knew that Jiang Chuan's words, although direct, revealed the cruelty of reality. He sighed helplessly and said, "We don't want to be fickle, but reality forces us to make such a choice. We don't want to offend Atlantis, but we want to get the materials we need from you to revitalize our economy. Ultimately, we hope to achieve the goal of becoming the world's third largest economy."

The leader remained silent, but he spoke through Jiang Chuan's mouth all the words that were inconvenient to say. He knew that although such talks were sharp, they would help both sides to more clearly understand each other's needs and positions. He said, "In fact, today's topic is not limited to these. But I also hope that you can seriously think about our attitude and position. This is the voice of the people across the country and our common expectation."

Jiang Chuan knew that it would be useless to continue talking. After all, the leaders of Sakura Country still had to make the final decision themselves. He said, "I have said everything I should say. If you are willing to cooperate with us or have any new ideas, you can speak directly. I will convey the voice of the people of the country to you."

The pain brought to both sides by the war more than 70 years ago has yet to heal.

People across the country remain divided on whether they should help the Land of Sakura.

However, the Great Shang Kingdom is now stable and peaceful, while the Atlantis Kingdom is gradually declining. This change in the situation has also made people begin to re-examine their relationship with each other.

Pross had not yet arrived at the meeting site, but the framework of the tripartite agreement had been basically determined.

Among them, the key is to provide large-scale assistance to the Sakura Country. (End of this chapter)
