I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 233 You guys are so trash, I want to kick you too.

The whole world is now watching how the US and Europe will resolve this dispute.

For Europeans, if they can't get their principal and profits back, it means that all of Europe combined is worth less than Yang Chen; they are nothing in the eyes of the bald eagle.

For the Bald Eagles, if they can't really hold onto Europe's money, they'll become what people call a paper tiger.

Both sides are in a difficult position and neither can back down.

After receiving requests for assistance from embassies in various European countries, the United States immediately summoned the ambassadors to lodge a strong protest and warned them to contact their families immediately to deal with the demonstrations by their citizens, otherwise the United States would impose even harsher sanctions on them.

European ambassadors quickly reported the message from the U.S. government to their respective countries, requesting that the U.S. government handle the matter properly.

The problem now is that the demands of the European people are reasonable and legal, and they are even doing these things out of consideration for the dignity of the country and the nation.

If authorities in various countries actually stop them, or even punish them, how is this behavior any different from treason?

Do they still want votes in the next election?
Therefore, authorities in various countries are merely symbolically reminding their citizens to express their national and ethnic sentiments reasonably and legally, and not to resort to extreme measures such as attacking the U.S. embassy and its staff.

In response to the anti-hawkish sentiment in various European countries, the United States held a press conference to explain the situation.

The spokesperson stated sternly, "We strongly condemn the various acts of extortion and illegality committed by European parties against our embassy, ​​and urge all European countries to immediately and properly handle the issues and compensate us for the losses caused to our buildings and personnel. To punish what Europeans have done to us, we will continue to freeze European investment in the United States. If the situation worsens, we do not rule out using military means to protect our rights. Europe had better think carefully about whether it wants to confront our military before deciding what to do."

The bald eagle spokesperson's remarks were quickly spread to social media platforms around the world, and netizens from various countries expressed their opinions.

A netizen from Japan commented: "Europe, forget it. You're all a disorganized bunch. The moment the US targets a country, the others will immediately kneel down and apologize. Just state your position; don't push the situation to an irreparable point. Europeans, know when to stop. That's enough. Are you sure you really want to fight the US?"
A South Korean netizen commented: "Europeans are hilarious. Who gave you the courage to challenge the bald eagle? If you really dare to make a move, our Great Korean Empire will unconditionally support our patron nation. With our military strength being the strongest in Asia, we could easily take on the entire European continent. Hurry up and admit your mistakes; don't wait until you've been beaten up to kneel down and apologize. By then, it will be too late, and the losses will be far more than just money."

A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "I think both sides should compromise. We should return the principal to them and keep the profits. That way, neither side will lose out, and both can maintain some dignity. I don't want to fight; fighting is too cruel."

A German netizen commented: "Go ahead and fight! Do you really think Europe is made of clay? You say we're a disorganized mess? Well, this time we'll unite and show you! Europeans are the ancestors of the Bald Eagles! This is blasphemy and disrespect! Our ancestors will teach you what propriety is!"

A French netizen commented: "Come on, let's do it again! We desperately need a chance to wash away the shame of our surrender back then. This time, we will fight to the last man and never surrender. We cannot let our descendants suffer our shame again."

An English netizen commented: "I suggest resolving the dispute through negotiation; fighting is never a good thing. I strongly agree with a certain 'bald eagle' netizen's suggestion: we don't want the gains, the 'bald eagle' returns the principal, and we both end this dispute with some dignity. Ultimately, isn't it just about saving face for both sides? If both sides have a way out, then both sides save face, right?"
Italian netizen @ German netizen: Bro, trust me one more time, I promise I won't hold you back this time.

A Chinese netizen commented: "I suggest both sides resolve the dispute through dialogue. The US should shoulder its responsibilities as a major power, and the EU should also make efforts for world peace. Both sides should understand the harm that fighting would bring to the entire world. The Earth is so big, it can accommodate 80 billion people worldwide. I suggest the United Nations intervene to mediate the conflict, earnestly fulfilling its responsibilities and safeguarding the security of all humanity."

……

At this moment, Steyer, who had promised Yang Chen that she would become an important figure in German politics, seized the opportunity and immediately gave a public speech to promote herself.

"What is Germany? Germany is synonymous with powerful industry; we were once incredibly glorious. The Chinese call us 'Germany,' what does that mean? It means a nation of virtue. But for the past few decades, successive governments have wasted their time, causing Germany to become increasingly invisible. Now we can't even get back the money we earned through legitimate means! If this were 100 years ago, would they dare treat us like this? I, Estelle, assure every one of my compatriots that if I become the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), if I lead the AfD into the cabinet, I can assure you with absolute certainty that I will bring the country back to normalcy, I will make Germany great again! Glory belongs to Germany, glory belongs to the Germanic people!"

The citizens below the stage cheered and applauded, feeling a sense of déjà vu with this passionate speech.

It must be said that Steyer is indeed a political expert; in less than a year, he has already shown signs of becoming the leader of the Alternative for Japan (AfD) party.

She seized the opportunity this time and quickly gained a large number of supporters.

Seeing the success of Steyer's speech, other political figures also began to hold speeches to win over the public.

However, if they say something inspiring to win people over, the situation will become increasingly uncontrollable.

To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, the United Nations immediately notified the United States and European countries to sit down and talk to resolve the issue. Major countries such as China and Russia were also required to participate. Representatives from the United States and Europe engaged in a heated debate at the United Nations General Assembly.

"People all over the world know that we, the Bald Eagle, are allies with Europe. Europeans even claim to be our ancestors, which, though harsh, is a historical fact. Given this relationship, how could they betray us? Shouldn't we punish them? Your friend was stabbed in the back, and you act like nothing happened?" the Bald Eagle representative questioned.

The German representative immediately retorted, "Since you acknowledge that Europeans are the ancestors of the Bald Eagles, and that we are now allies, then why did BlackRock and other investment banks short-sell us before? Why didn't you accuse us of betraying our allies then? Yang Chen's release of graphics cards, CPUs, and Pangu AI will inevitably cause a sharp drop in the Bald Eagle and European stock markets. Whether we open short positions or not, it won't change this outcome. How does that make us betray our allies? You always have your reasons; you always apply such double standards."

The bald eagle representative, utterly unreasonable, said with a disdainful expression, "If you have the power, you can also freeze the accounts of investment banks like BlackRock. Do you dare?"

The German representative immediately retorted, "We dare! Why wouldn't we dare? This time, Europe will fight for its dignity! Either you unfreeze our principal and profits, or we'll freeze your accounts in return! If you want to fight, then fight! We're all born of mothers and fathers, raised on food, who's afraid of who!"

Representatives from countries such as France immediately expressed their support for Germany, demonstrating that Europe is not afraid to fight the bald eagle.

Da Mao was overjoyed. If Yingzi and Ouzi started fighting, he would be freed from Er Mao's quagmire.

The Russian representative immediately stated, "As a member of Europe, we absolutely and unconditionally support the EU's legitimate demands. It is perfectly reasonable for the US to short the EU, and for the EU to take advantage of this to short the US is to betray its allies. I have never seen such double standards."

The bald eagle representative immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with you? Why are you stirring things up? You don't have to say anything; nobody thinks you're mute!"

The representative from China immediately said, "I remind both parties involved to be clear about their international responsibilities. The international situation is already very unstable, and all parties should exercise restraint and not push humanity towards destruction. We do not want to get involved in your economic disputes, but if anyone starts a world war, we will be the first to object!"

Non-claimant states can only express their stance based on their own position; ultimately, it is up to the claimant states to decide how to resolve the dispute.

however.

The bald eagle is unwilling to back down, and neither is Europe.

The US has stated that it will not unfreeze European accounts, while Europe has indicated that it will freeze US company accounts in return.

The mediation ended in failure, with both sides stating they were prepared to fight upon returning home.

The live video of the meeting was quickly uploaded to the internet, attracting viewers from all over the world to watch the spectacle.

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Why is Europe so tough this time? They suddenly seem a bit unfamiliar to me. I'm not used to their unity and toughness. Who gave them this confidence?"
A German netizen commented: "We've always been this tough! We used to think the bald eagle was our ally, and allies should help and accommodate each other. But instead, we've been treated like dirt by the bald eagle. All of Europe is less important than Yang Chen alone—it's humiliating! We must unite and show the bald eagle who's in charge!"

Italian netizens: Bro, I'm not saying anything else, just trust me one more time! This time, the glory will definitely belong to us!
Japanese netizens commented: "Stop joking, it's just money, let's compromise and not drag all of humanity down with us."

Korean netizens: Give me some face, you two should back down and please don't fight. If you two fight, it'll be World War III, which would be a disaster for all of humanity!
An Indian netizen commented: "The Koreans are embarrassing themselves again. What face do you have? You don't even have military command authority. You and Sakura are the most shameless people in the world. I suggest you send your girl group here as soon as possible. Our warriors will take good care of them."

A Chinese netizen commented: "The Indians have been eyeing South Korean girl groups for a long time now, and they're still thinking about them even in this situation. Seriously, aren't my Indian wives enough for you? I suggest the Koreans buy some Indian wives and send them to the Indians, otherwise your girl groups will be constantly on their minds."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Our friends from the Dragon Kingdom offer very pertinent advice. It's clear they're not worried about the situation escalating, which shows their strength and confidence. Brother Dragon, we're friends, so please remember to look after us. We have no way to repay you except to ensure the Dragon Kingdom has ample oil reserves."

It's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the US and Europe are now on the verge of exchanging blows, and neither side is willing to back down.

Both sides have made tough statements, saying they're willing to fight to resolve the issue, so naturally they'll just put on a show.

New York Times: According to the latest news, Taiwanese troops stationed at the Legonnier base in Djibouti are currently conducting military exercises in European waters. Simultaneously, Taiwanese military bases in the Pacific, Japan, South Korea, and Australia will soon all be deployed to Europe for joint exercises. It must be emphasized that these military exercises are all live-fire drills, utilizing only real combat equipment. The purpose of these exercises is to counter the aggressive actions of unfriendly forces and to safeguard the safety of Taiwanese embassies and citizens in Europe. We warn relevant parties to act cautiously; otherwise, we are not hesitant to escalate these exercises into real combat.

At first, everyone thought that the bald eagle and Europe were just talking big and making threats, but unexpectedly the eagle actually took action.

At this point, Europe relapsed into its old problem of being disorganized and fragmented.

England decided to respond by remaining silent and ignoring the issue, citing its non-EU membership.

"We have long since severed ties with the EU, and we have decided not to participate in the dispute between the EU and the US. As for the frozen funds at Barclays Bank, we will resolve this through separate dialogue and negotiation with the US."

Italy made it clear that they would not accept the money and would absolutely not send troops to participate in the exercise.

"We were never directly involved in the White Head Eagle operation, and we no longer want the share that the EU promised us. We will not send troops to participate in any military exercises, nor will we make any statement regarding any country's military exercises."

Other small countries simply cannot withstand a few missile strikes from the US and have also made it clear that they are withdrawing.

In the end, only Germany and France, the two old capitalist countries, wanted to continue to confront the United States. Both of them had ambitions to become the leader of Europe and wanted to take this opportunity to establish their prestige and enhance their status.

However, the two of them alone could not possibly be a match for the Bald Eagle. Germany and France, who had previously vowed to fight the Bald Eagle at the United Nations meeting, are now in a particularly awkward position.

At this time, the white house of the bald eagle.

"Haha... those European bastards are as useless as ever. We just mentioned it in the newspapers, and they were so scared that they all shrank back. Expecting Germany and France to stand up to us is wishful thinking."

“We know them too well. They’ve always been a disorganized bunch. Now they want to come together? I think they’re more likely to dream of sending people to the moon tomorrow.”

"Ha ha……"

As a result, people all over the world have started mocking Europe again.

A South Korean netizen commented: "I thought Europe had finally woken up, but it turns out it was just a dream. Haha... They were all so tough at the UN General Assembly, but our bodyguards just released a report and scared them all away. However, Europe made the right choice. If you really attack our bodyguards, as their employer, we will definitely help them deal with you. As the leading military power in Asia, our strength is something you can't withstand."

A netizen from Japan commented: "Seeing this scene really makes me sad. If only Europe could really fight the US, we could break free of our shackles. Europe is truly a disorganized mess; no wonder the whole world looks down on you. You're just living off the resources your ancestors plundered from the world over the past few centuries. Once you've exhausted your resources, you'll all be in dire straits."

A netizen from the Bald Eagle commented: "Haha... You did the right thing. You couldn't possibly withstand the wrath of the world's number one military power. Money can be earned back, but if you lose your people, or even your country, then you lose everything."

A German netizen commented: "England, you European traitors; Italy, you damn fools, remember what you've done today. When Europe regains its glory, you will be driven out."

French netizen: German netizen, I agree with your point of view. We must remember what they did, and one day they will be punished.

An English netizen commented: "We're not even part of the EU, why should we get involved in your dispute with the US? Money is a simple issue to resolve, no need for violence. If you're so tough, just go for it, why drag others down with you?"

Italian netizens: We were already outmatched, and we were fine as a disorganized bunch. Why do you insist on bringing everyone together? Everyone has their own thoughts, let alone a country. You can't force other countries to side with you; that's hegemonic behavior.

……

At this moment, in the chairman's office of Sihai Group.

Chen Xi fed Yang Chen a piece of mango, then asked, "Europe still has diarrhea, what do we do now?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "As I expected, if these cowards could stand up for themselves, Europe wouldn't be so fragmented now. I'll have a talk with Tusk."

Chen Xi nodded and quickly got up from Yang Chen's arms.

Yang Chen called Tusk and asked directly, "Fuck! What are you guys doing? Didn't you say you'd rise to the occasion? Damn it, why did you falter again?"

Tusk replied awkwardly, "Sigh... We've made a fool of ourselves in front of Mr. Yang. We don't want to fall apart like this, but we just can't seem to get everyone's minds together. Besides, the bald eagle is indeed too powerful, so it's no wonder everyone is afraid."

"You guys are too easy to bully. Since that's the case, I'll give you a piece of my mind. The money you lent me is now wiped clean, and I won't pay you back," Yang Chen said, and hung up the phone.

Tusk: "..."

If the bald eagle freezes and confiscates the money, and Yang Chen doesn't return it, Europe will lose 5000 billion euros.

Germany's annual trade surplus is only 1800 billion euros, which means that an industrial powerhouse like Germany would need three years to earn back that loss.

Tusk immediately called Yang Chen, saying excitedly, "Mr. Yang, you can't do this! We signed cooperation agreements with you in finance, economics, and many other areas! What you're doing is a breach of contract!"

Yang Chen retorted, "Didn't you promise me back then that you would definitely rise to the occasion this time, and that you would fight the bald eagle if necessary? You broke the contract first, so what right do you have to blame me for breaking the contract? Of course, if you really do rise to the occasion, I will still pay you back the money I lent you, and I will even pay interest."

Tusk said, "You make it sound so easy. I also want Europe to rise up, but we just can't. What can we do? Tell me, how can we rise up?"

“Have representatives from Germany and France come to me, and I’ll talk to them in person,” Yang Chen said.

Tusk quickly replied, "Oh, okay, I'll inform them right away. Mr. Yang, we've already suffered huge losses, you can't really renege on your debt."

"Whether I repay the money or not is not up to me, but up to you. Enough talk, tell them to send a representative over immediately. I must see them by noon tomorrow. Otherwise, you can forget about getting that money forever. Have I made myself clear?" Yang Chen replied.

Tusk quickly replied, "Understood, I'll notify them right away. Bye."

Since Germany and France want to be the leaders of Europe, let's give them a chance.

However, this requires a lot of courage; it remains to be seen whether they dare to do it.
