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

Chapter 265 Yang Chen's Debate with the UN Scholars

The only reason M46 Commander Orwin has survived until now is because Yang Chen wants him to live. He can't surrender; Yang Chen's strategic objectives haven't been achieved yet.

The Starry Sky Military Industry Group's attack did not stop; they continued to eliminate the organization's members as quickly as possible, deliberately leaving Orwin and a small team of more than 10 people alive.

The small team of more than 10 people was attacked by mosquitoes, but instead of exploding, the mosquitoes injected them with a nerve-paralyzing drug. When they were immobilized, the government forces of Kamala Harris launched a fierce attack and wiped them out with overwhelming force.

At this point, only the leader of the entire M46 organization, Orwin, remained unharmed.

Orwin was captured alive and taken to the command post. Terrified, he quickly said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender. I can testify that Blackwater Group instigated me to do this."

The on-site commander contacted Guo Hu for instructions, and Guo Hu then called Yang Chen for instructions.

Yang Chen instructed, "Then spare his life and let him explain the whole story in front of the reporters. Then hand him over to the Golden Fruit. Whether he lives or dies is none of our business."

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Understood!"

Following Yang Chen's instructions, Guo Hu demanded that the Golden Fruit side arrange a press conference to allow Oruun to confess the truth.

At this moment, the on-site commander appeared on screen and addressed over ten million viewers worldwide: "Ladies and gentlemen, the operation against M46 has concluded, and the battlefield is now under the control of the Diamond Kingdom forces. Next, we will hold a press conference for M46 commander Orwin, where he will confess his crimes. Don't go away, the excitement is about to continue."

At this moment, the comments section opened.

"I knew it! Their operations usually involve beheading the leaders. Why was this leader safe all this time? It turns out they wanted him to reveal the truth—that Blackwater was the mastermind—in front of reporters all over the world."

"People from China have always been like this, always insisting on having a legitimate reason for their actions. Now that there is evidence proving that Blackwater Group was the mastermind, it is perfectly reasonable for Yang Chen to retaliate against Blackwater Group. Moreover, no matter how severe the retaliation is, no one will say anything, since Blackwater Group struck first."

"Boss Yang is always so persuasive in his work. Sometimes you may feel that his methods are a bit ruthless, but if you study it carefully, you will find that what he does is always reasonable and well-founded. Even if others suffer a great loss, it is their responsibility."

"This is setting the stage for a major battle against the Blackwater Group. The ultimate technological clash between humankind is about to begin."

……

At that moment, Blackwater CEO Bradley was on the phone with Boston Dynamics CEO Lopez.

"Yang Chen is laying the groundwork; he'll soon announce when he'll attack our African base. How are the humanoid robots and robotic horses doing? Also, I saw they used mosquitoes that can slow people down; they're probably injected with drugs. Do you have any? Send us some quickly," Bradley said.

Lopez replied, "The humanoid robot and the robotic horse are already under construction and are expected to be finished by tomorrow night. They will then be airlifted to Africa and delivered to you. As for the mosquitoes you mentioned, we haven't researched them yet. If you need them, we can conduct urgent research. I believe that with our research capabilities, developing such a product would not be difficult at all."

Bradley immediately replied, "That's a redundant question. Of course we need this equipment. Get it as soon as possible, the more the better. If we have tens of thousands of these mosquitoes, we won't need any other equipment. We can win by injecting their people with venom."

Lopez smiled and said, "Okay, I got it. Wait for my news."

It's unrealistic to expect Boston Dynamics to create robotic mosquitoes that can inject venom; they can't do that in the short term, so they still have to buy them from Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, how much are those mosquitoes that can be injected with drugs?" Lopez asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "I won't sell that! You Bald Eagles have no bottom line; you frequently create viruses to harm humanity. If I sell this product to you, humanity will suffer."

Lopez quickly said, "I assure Mr. Yang that we won't sell it to a pharmaceutical company, okay?"

Yang Chen firmly refused, saying, "Of course not! Your president changes his mind every day. What good are your promises? This product is not for sale. That's it."

Lopez sighed helplessly. It was too painful to have money but not be able to earn it. In order to earn this money, Lopez immediately ordered the researchers to develop a robotic mosquito that could inject drugs.

Two hours later, Orwin's press conference began.

Orwin first answered questions about his role as the leader of an anti-government organization, and then addressed the issue of the three mines at Star Mining.

Orwin cried, "I truly regret what I did. If I had another chance, I would never have been misled by the Blackwater Group into doing such an unethical thing..."

Orwin recounted in detail how the Blackwater Group lured him step by step to seize Star Mining's three mines, and then devised a plan to buy them at a low price.

At this moment, the live stream chat is filled with comments.

"Is the Blackwater Group just bored? Why would they want to seize Yang Chen's mine?"

"Why did they have to pick the most difficult one to rob?"

“If what he said is true, then the Blackwater Group should indeed be severely punished. Even if they are all wiped out, they deserve it. We can’t blame Yang Chen for being too ruthless.”

"I now announce that the groundwork for public opinion has been laid. Next, StarCraft Military Industry will take on Blackwater Group. Everyone, prepare for the most high-level showdown in human history."

……

After Orwin gave all the information, the Starry Sky Military Industry Operations Team handed him over to the King Kong government.

Guo Hu called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, all the preparations are complete. When do we launch our attack on the Blackwater Group?" Guo Hu asked.

Yang Chen replied, "You guys check the equipment and refill the ammunition first. The equipment that Blackwater Group bought hasn't arrived yet, so we'll wait another day or two."

Guo Hu asked, "But shouldn't we take action before they have all their equipment? That way, we'll pay a lower price."

Yang Chen laughed and said, "We produced all their equipment. If we wanted to, their equipment would be nothing but scrap metal. I've discovered that fighting is incredibly lucrative. I'm going to wage a war of attrition against the Blackwater Group, first earning them billions of Eagle Dollars, and then defeating them. Make it clear to our brothers in Africa that we're waging a war of attrition against the Blackwater Group, with a casualty ratio of 5:1. That means for every five sets of equipment the Blackwater Group destroys, we lose one set. Give them some hope, let them continue purchasing equipment and fighting us. Let's not start a war for now, wait until their equipment arrives before engaging in combat."

Guo Hu laughed and said, "Oh, I understand. Haha... I know what to do. I'll explain it to the brothers in Africa right now."

Who would give the other side time to gather equipment before a fight? Only Yang Chen would do that.

Yang Chen posted a Weibo post.

"Today's joint anti-bandit operation with the government forces of Kamala Harris yielded fruitful results, and the soldiers on both sides performed exceptionally well. Initially, I thought the M46 organization had seized my mine and sold it to the Blackwater Group at a low price. However, the truth is that the Blackwater Group induced the M46 to seize my mine and sell it to them. I hereby solemnly notify the Blackwater Group to return the mine to me within three days and to compensate me for my losses of 100 million Eagle Dollars, as well as compensation for the deceased employees, totaling 100 million Eagle Dollars. Don't ask why the compensation is so high; the answer is that my employees are worth that much. If my demands are not met within five days, I will take reciprocal violent measures to reclaim my mine and seize the existing assets of the Blackwater Group. I oppose resolving issues through violence, but since the Blackwater Group has set this precedent, I will naturally retaliate in kind. The Blackwater Group will bear all consequences arising therefrom, and I will defend my legitimate rights without assuming any responsibility or consequences."

The International Network Department immediately translated Yang Chen's Weibo post into dozens of languages ​​and published it on the international internet to gain an advantageous position in public opinion.

Blackwater also responded immediately through its social media accounts.

"Orwin's words are utter nonsense. We did approach him for a deal, but we didn't ask them to seize Star Mining's mines. He took it upon himself to seize those three mines and sell them to us at a low price. As a well-intentioned third party, we shouldn't be the target of retaliation. We don't cause trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of trouble. Since Mr. Yang Chen wants to compete with us, we will certainly be a worthy opponent. Blackwater Group's corporate culture doesn't include giving away acquired assets for free, nor does it include paying death benefits for others. No matter how Mr. Yang Chen wants to play, we will definitely play along to the end."

Yang Chen and the Blackwater Group have officially declared war, attracting netizens from all over the world to watch the spectacle.

A South Korean netizen commented: "The Blackwater Group can fight on the battlefields of Iraq and Ahuhan, they're no different from regular troops. Most of their members are retired special forces soldiers from the US. Dealing with the newly established Starry Sky Military Industry is child's play for them. Both sides are unarmed and just exchanging fire; in the end, it'll be a real-life PvP battle. How could Starry Sky Military Industry possibly be a match for the Blackwater Group?"
An Indian netizen commented: "Yang Chen's only way to win is to crush the Blackwater Group with unmanned equipment. If it really comes down to a real battle, as the Koreans say, they would be no match for the Blackwater Group's retired special forces soldiers. Only our powerful Indian special forces can defeat the Blackwater Group; Xingchen Military Industry has absolutely no chance."

A German netizen commented: "This is so exciting! I can't wait to see them go to war. Whether modern technology or humanity will prevail depends on the outcome of the battle. Also, why are the Indians back to making a fool of themselves after a few days of peace? Do you and the Koreans have to brag all the time?"
A netizen from the White-headed Eagle commented: "Yang Chen is too arrogant. Making money off us is one thing, but now he wants to seize our assets. Does he really think he's God, able to do whatever he wants? I don't know why those idiots on Wall Street can't beat you, but Blackwater Group will definitely defeat you. This world ultimately comes down to might; whoever has the stronger fist wins. Sorry, our country's fist has been strong for over a hundred years, and it will continue to be strong now and in the future." Another netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Blackwater Group is truly astonishing. Orwan has already produced evidence proving that they approached him first and instigated him to seize Boss Yang's mines, but now they're afraid to admit it. Since war is inevitable anyway, why not be a man and admit it?"
A netizen from Japan commented: "Big shots, it's obvious you don't understand the Chinese. Since ancient times, the Chinese have always insisted on having a legitimate reason and a justifiable cause for everything they do. During the Han Dynasty, envoys would even deliberately seek death to create a pretext for war; some even committed suicide, giving Emperor Wu of Han an excuse to wage war. Yang Chen will definitely have to learn from his ancestors and find a plausible excuse before starting a war."

……

All relevant departments and units in the Dragon Kingdom are concerned about the battle between Xingchen Military Industry and Blackwater Group. Yang Chen's phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from various departments, all asking him if he is confident and what kind of help he needs.

The Blackwater Group's equipment was all provided by Yang Chen's company, so Yang Chen was certain to win.

However, Yang Chen still asked the relevant departments to communicate well with the Bald Eagle family. No matter what the outcome, this is a "civil dispute" between Yang Chen and Blackwater Group. The problem should not be made serious or complicated, let alone escalated into a conflict between the two countries.

The relevant departments told Yang Chen to go ahead and do it, and they would handle the issues of scale.

Blackwater's African headquarters is located in Kenya. Now that a major battle between Yang Chen and Blackwater is imminent, Kenya is worried that they will choose Kenya as the battlefield. Therefore, the Kenyan military representative, Balimba, invited Yang Chen and Blackwater's African president, Matt Barnes, to a video conference.

Balinba said, “It’s clear that the conflict between you two is irreconcilable, and we know we can’t persuade you otherwise. But we have one condition: we will not allow fighting on our territory. If you want to fight, fight in eastern Vajrago, where there has been constant fighting for years and there are hardly any ordinary civilians, so innocent people will not be harmed. Can you two grant me this request?”

Barnes smiled and said, "Of course! Kenya is where our headquarters are located, and we certainly don't want to implicate the local people. Mr. Yang, what do you say?"

Yang Chen shook his head and replied, "I won't agree! If Mr. Balinba doesn't want his people to be implicated, he should immediately order the expulsion of the Blackwater Group. I can give you at most half a month to complete this. You allowed them to establish a base in your territory, so you should be prepared to pay the price. Now I want to reclaim my assets, and you stand up and ask me not to fight on your turf. Why didn't you stop them when they were seizing my assets? What you say sounds reasonable at first glance, but it makes no sense at all. You're protecting them, and you expect me not to harm you? Do you think that's possible?"

Balingba looked at Yang Chen with surprise. He thought his request was perfectly reasonable and that both sides would agree without hesitation. He thought that he was just going through the motions by holding this video conference.

Now he realized how important this meeting was; otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Yang Chen had this idea.

Matt Barnes immediately said, "Mr. Yang, what you're doing is inhumane. Why should our feud involve others?"

Yang Chen immediately replied, "You're absolutely right. Our grudges shouldn't involve others. So you should move out of Kenya immediately and stop dragging them down with you."

Matt Barnes retorted, "We're not moving! We can go fight you in the Adamanthus!"

Yang Chen replied, "I will definitely destroy your stronghold. Wherever your stronghold is, I will fight my way there. Anyone who dares to stop me, I will destroy it too!"

Bahrain was furious and immediately said, "Then we'll sue you at the United Nations!"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Go ahead, it's not like this is the first time I've been sued at the United Nations. What's the big deal? I'll ask you in front of the representatives of various countries why you allowed a mercenary organization to set up its headquarters in your country, why you didn't stop them when they were plundering other people's property, but instead stood up to stop others from attacking their base when they wanted to retaliate."

Balingba was speechless after being asked by Yang Chen, and went away sulking in silence.

Matt Barnes frowned as he looked at Yang Chen, thinking, "What a difficult guy. You can't deduce his thoughts from common sense at all. With him threatening us like this, Kenyan might actually kick us out."

Yang Chen asked, "General Balinba, is there anything else you want to say? If not, let's end this here. You should all think carefully about what I just said. If you're sure you can drive them out, call me and I'll postpone the attack for 15 days. If there's no response after 5 days, we'll launch the attack as planned."

After Yang Chen finished speaking, he left the video conference, leaving Balingba and Matt Barnes looking at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Matt Barnes provoked, "General Baringba, don't be intimidated by his words. We'll help you sue him at the United Nations. This world is governed by morality and law; we can't let him run rampant!"

Balinba said with a worried look, "But he's right. You set up your headquarters on our territory and tried to seize his mines. Now he wants to retaliate against you. If we don't want to be implicated, we should indeed drive you away."

Matt Barnes immediately retorted, "General Baringba, that's not how you talk. It was Orwin who seized his mines and sold them to us, we..."

Balingba immediately interrupted, "Alright, I'm not stupid. Everyone knows the truth. No matter how you try to deny it, it won't help. We need to discuss this internally. Wait for my news."

Baringba withdrew from the video conference, and Matt Barnes immediately contacted headquarters to report the situation to President Bradley.

Bradley immediately contacted the top brass of the Bald Eagles, who then personally spoke to the Kenyan side, threatening them not to allow Blackwater to be driven out, or else they would be dealt with.

This tactic has proven effective time and again; the bald eagles always manage to achieve their desired results through threats and blackmail.

Since they can't be driven away, the only option is to seek help from the United Nations.

Yang Chen was invited to participate in the UN regular meeting via video conference.

Faced with questions and condemnations from representatives of various countries, Yang Chen calmly said, "Indians, if you're so agitated, then why did you send agents to Canada to assassinate Sikh leader Ghaniel? Isn't that infringing on Canada's sovereignty?"

The representative from India was speechless for a moment.

Yang Chen continued, "If you think it's wrong for me to retaliate against the Blackwater Group by going to Kenya's house, then it's also wrong for India to send agents to Canada to assassinate Garnier. You should punish India first and show me, and then I'll consider whether to change the attack plan."

India may be peculiar, but it is a very special country that holds an important position in both the East and the West. The Eastern camp does not want them to side with the West, while the Western camp does not want them to join the East.

That's why everyone indulges them, which is why Indians can always sit on the fence and benefit from both sides.

Now that Yang Chen has pinned the problem on India, neither the Eastern nor Western camps dare to sanction them. As long as they are not sanctioned, it means that he can retaliate against his enemies in other countries. In that case, Yang Chen can go to Kenya to retaliate against the Blackwater Group.

The representative from India immediately said, "Why are you talking about me? Don't listen to him, everyone. It's all in the past, and Canada isn't pursuing it anymore. Let's just forget about it."

At this moment, the representative from China said with a smile, "Whether China pursues the matter or not will not affect whether the United Nations holds you accountable. Let's vote instead. If you think India's actions are right and they shouldn't be punished, vote against it. If you think India's actions are wrong and they should be punished, vote in favor. Let's begin!"

After the representative from China finished speaking, he pressed his dissenting vote, while the other representatives looked at him with blank expressions.

Oh no, haven't we been played by the Dragon Kingdom again?
I can never outwit them when it comes to brain teasers.

Other countries voted against it, unanimously agreeing that India's actions were correct and should not be punished.

The representative from China smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees that India's act of sending agents to Canada to assassinate Garnier was right and shouldn't be punished, then Yang Chen's act of going to Kenya's house to retaliate against the Blackwater Group shouldn't be stopped or punished either. I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

The representatives from various countries looked at each other, and finally all turned to the representative of the bald eagle.

The bald eagle representative knew perfectly well that they had been tricked again, so it would be contradictory to say they wanted to stop and punish Yang Chen at this point.

"I think we should put this issue on hold for now and discuss other topics," said the Bald Eagle representative.

Shelving it implies tacit agreement, and everyone understands this principle.

The Kenyan representative panicked and quickly said, "In that case, we request the United Nations to intervene and drive Blackwater away. Once they resolve their conflict, we will still welcome Blackwater to set up its headquarters in our country."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "I think Kenyan representative's request is very reasonable and should be met."

The Kenyan representative followed up, saying, "That's right, this is our legitimate request and it should be met. We ask the representatives of all countries to uphold justice for us. We don't want to get involved in their disputes, but we don't have the ability to drive out the Blackwater Group. We ask the United Nations to stand up for us."
