Chapter 343 The Prescription Given by the King

"Your Majesty, how sincere is the Grand Commander?" Smith asked smugly.

Wang Dao laughed loudly: "I truly felt the sincerity of the Grand Commander!"

He spoke from the heart.

A three billion dollar interest-free loan is an astronomical sum.

Most importantly, this is a US dollar loan, interest-free.

It can put these things anywhere and they can pass through unimpeded.

As long as they don't stubbornly insist on siding with the northern bear, the U.S. won't care.

In their view, the farther the US dollar spreads in the world, the better.

Those green banknotes are also a symbol of power.

With this funding, Wangdao can do quite a lot.

He has taken a very solid first step in building his own business empire.

To give an analogy, it's like Li Huanggua in another timeline not only received Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC, but also HK$100 million in interest-free operating funds.

Of course, the starting point of the king's way is much higher than that of Li Huanggua.

Wang Dao gently pushed the banknotes in his hand towards Smith:
"I am very satisfied with the role the specialist played in this; this is your compensation."

Smith's eyes widened:

"Your Majesty, this is your reward."

Wang Dao gently shook his finger and said expressionlessly:

"When I offer someone my friendship, I don't want them to reject me."

"You want to reject my friendship?"

brush!
soon!
Smith put the check away.

Only a fool wouldn't want that!

That's a million dollars!

That's enough for him to work hard for ten years!

The Way of the King is Inconceivable:
"Ten years and you only earned one million US dollars?"

Smith smiled wryly:

“Wang, you are a big capitalist. A million dollars may not mean much to you, but it is unimaginable to me.”

Wang Dao sighed:
"What kind of life are you living in your notebook?"

"Didn't the Mitsui and Mitsubishi conglomerates pay you tribute?"

"Oh right, they're at the peak of their wealth right now."

"Originally, you supported Japan in order to contain Western Hans. Who would have thought that in just a few years, your country's manufacturing industry, and even Western Hans' manufacturing industry, would be crushed by Japan."

"At least Western Hans has a high-end manufacturing gimmick, what about your Ugly country?"

"A specialist like you is a major contributor to Japan's rise."

"These guys dare not pay you tribute?"

What are they trying to do?

"Rebellion?"

Smith smiled wryly:

"Your Majesty, isn't your attempt to sow discord too obvious?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Isn't that the truth?"

"I can tell you frankly, if you don't take this matter seriously, your future is in jeopardy."

“I said before that your Ugly country has always had a tradition of fighting against the second-place country.”

"You should understand what this means, right?"

Smith disagreed:
"It's just a small notebook."

Wang Dao mocked:
"The notebooks you call insignificant have made your company run for its money with high-quality, cost-effective products."

Do you really think that the deindustrialization of the United States is simply due to the president's policies?

"Isn't it because they can't compete with West Hans and the Japanese?"

"In addition to the president's policies, the hollowing out of the manufacturing industry is inevitable."

How long does it take to train qualified workers?

"It will take at least ten years!"

"Once the manufacturing industry is hollowed out, this process is irreversible."

"The United States' manufacturing industry alone cannot punish Japan."

"And so, your traditional skills began to work."

"In order to counterbalance Japan, we need to find another ally to counterbalance them."

"Europe won't do."

"The fog is the second-best that you guys beat down."

“West Hans poses a great threat to you.”

"The French have always demanded autonomy for Europe..."

"Other places are not up to the task."

There's only one place after counting them all.

Smith asked, trembling with fear:

"which place?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

South Korea!

“Park Kaka, who happens to be at odds with you, is almost three years old.”

"The current president of South Korea is quite sensible. Supporting South Korea to counterbalance Japan will be Washington's strategy."

Smith stared at Wang Dao in disbelief and couldn't help but say:
"Wang Sheng, are you really not a senior advisor from Washington?"

Wang Dao waved his hand:
"Don't be silly, how much does it cost to be a consultant in Washington?"

"I make tens of thousands a minute, so if you have nothing else to do, go work there!"

Smith was terrified.

He didn't know if the Ugly Kingdom would develop as the King's Way had suggested.

But after hearing what Wang Dao said, it became clear that this style of doing things was exactly like that of the Ugly Kingdom.

Most importantly, the logical chain is clear, well-reasoned, and convincing.

So, without thinking, Smith blurted out:

"Your Majesty, if you wish to do business with this book, please be sure to take me with you."

"I still have some connections with the notebook!"

Wang Dao gently patted Smith on the shoulder:

"Of course, my friend."

"Of course I'll call you."

"If I don't invite you, who else would I invite?"

Smith was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude:

"Don't worry, as long as there's something wrong with the company's notebook, I'll take care of it."

Okamoto is a country built on the foundation of the U.S. military presence, and the U.S. has the right to interfere in Japan's national affairs.

Once Smith activates the power of the Face Fruit, even the Japanese cabinet will have to give him face.

Note that this doesn't just mean giving them a little face; it means giving them face absolutely!
Even if this request goes against their wishes.

Smith composed himself, looking at Wang Dao with a mixture of surprise and disbelief—wait, didn't I come here to ask for the answer to my second question? How did I hear something so incredible?
His heart began to flutter.

No wonder some people say that even chatting with billionaires is a golden path to making money. Just the information Wang Dao provides is enough if he can plan ahead...

Ugh, I can't even imagine!

"Your Majesty, let's just take care of what the Grand Commander has asked us to do first."

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"OK."

Smith exclaimed:

"Your Majesty, do you really have a strategy to deal with the northern bear?"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Yes, I have!"

Smith couldn't help but ask:
"Really?"

Wang Dao sighed and spoke the truth.

"Even if it's just for that three billion dollars interest-free loan, I have to have it!"

"It's quite simple..."

Smith gave a wry smile:
"Your Majesty, don't joke around. If it were really that simple, the Grand Commander wouldn't have paid such a price."

"You don't know how terrified we are..."

"The president is under a lot of pressure."

Wang Dao said disapprovingly:
"Capitalism's advantage lies in its economy; the economy was shrinking before the president took office."

"It would be a lie to say I'm not worried that we can't compete with the Russians in our strongest areas."

"Now that the President's industrial policies have taken effect, the U.S. economy has recovered, and its strongest sector has returned..."

"That gives me confidence!"

"The pressure on the president is not as great as you imagine."

Smith was dumbfounded.

He wanted to refute, but the other party was a billionaire, someone he had to look up to, and he couldn't refute him.

The revolving door phenomenon is prevalent in the Western world, where many high-ranking government officials were billionaires before assuming public office.

This is very obvious.

Smith tried to steer the conversation back on track:
"Wang Sheng, what do you think we should do to deal with the red bear?"

He added,

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, to be honest, the Red Bear is very familiar with our country's policies."

“We would proactively leak a lot of information in the newspapers, even if they didn’t send spies.”

"Ordinary strategies don't work."

In the struggle between great powers, much intelligence is readily available.

The country is there, and the balance of power between the two sides is obvious.

Once you start something, others can deduce what you're going to do next.

It's obvious!

Its large scale and the fact that a single move can have far-reaching consequences make it difficult to conceal one's true intentions.

Therefore, open strategies are the key to success.

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"Why don't you just repackage the same plan you used to deal with bears a few years ago and do it again?"

Smith was stunned and puzzled:
"Our tools from a few years ago?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"That's right!"

"Your tools from a few years ago."

"That's one small step for an individual, but one giant leap for an individual."

Smith exclaimed:

"A moon landing?!"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Yes, that thing is hard to replicate now."

"After all, the technology developed by the Northern Bear has already enabled them to detect whether you have entered the aphelion."

"But there's another way!"

Smith chuckled dryly:

"Wang Sheng, I don't understand what you're saying."

Wang Dao looked at him with a half-smile:
"Back then, the Russian space station was about to go into space. If they had succeeded, it would have been an enormous blow to the U.S. alliance."

"So, some people came up with an idea...to go to the moon!"

"It wouldn't have been feasible with the technology of the United States at that time."

"But it doesn't matter, we can forge it!"

"It would be best to do a live broadcast."

"Anyway, the number of television sets in use at that time was pitifully small, and the monitors were also pitifully small." "As long as we can secure those television sets, we can declare the moon landing a success."

"That's exactly the case."

"The moon landing was a complete success."

"The Russian bear has suffered a huge blow."

Smith said angrily:

"Your Majesty, this is a rumor, this is slander."

Wang Dao said impatiently:
"Listen, I have my own channels."

"Whether it's a rumor or slander, I know better than you."

"All the moon landings took place during the presidency of President Watergate."

"What's even more bizarre is that it happens at least once a year."

Do you know how much technology this involves?

"If it were true, given the nature of the U.S., they would have already used these technologies to counter Russia."

"Why should we be bullied like this by the Russian bear?"

"So much so that you all find it difficult... and come to me for advice?"

Smith smiled wryly:

"Your Majesty, I still firmly believe that the moon landing was real."

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Of course, you can certainly believe that, after all, you are from the Ugly Country."

"However, I am a capitalist, and my focus is different from yours."

"In your view, the successful moon landing is a superior manifestation of the U.S. nation's pride."

"However, in my view, once the moon landing is successful..."

"There are countless opportunities to make a fortune!"

Smith was dumbfounded:

"A chance to make a fortune?!"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Yes, a chance to make a fortune!"

"Of course, there are some technologies that I cannot obtain."

"But there are certain technologies that can be monetized!"

Smith quickly asked:
"for example?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"for example……"

"Satellite communication and positioning technology."

Sending people into space is easy, but landing on the moon is extremely difficult.

Do you know how far the moon is from the earth?

Smith shook his head:

"do not know!"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"On average, it's about 384,400 kilometers, and even the shortest distance is 363,300 kilometers."

"You probably don't have a good grasp of this number."

Let me explain it to you.

"If you were to drive to the moon, and were allowed to travel at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it would take you 160 days."

Smith said in astonishment:

"what?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Wow, such a long distance, and they still managed to do a live broadcast, and it was all done perfectly on the first try..."

Wang Dao looked at Smith with a half-smile.
"I really wish I had this technology."

"Based on my understanding of my American counterparts."

"Once they have this technology, they will definitely take action immediately."

"We will absolutely not leave this technology to others."

"But now it seems..."

"I haven't discovered any revolutionary technological breakthroughs."

Smith's face turned pale.

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"Alright, let's not talk about other things. Your country has experience with this, so let's talk about the specific policies."

He suddenly asked,
"What is the most brilliant strategy?"

Smith blurted out:

"Invincible in every battle."

"It's mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"You haven't learned it well enough."

"The most brilliant strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War is... to win without fighting!"

"People always die in war!"

Smith frowned and said:

"It's difficult to defeat the Red Bear without a fight, isn't it?"

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's not hard to say it's not."

Smith was jolted:
"Your Majesty, this is the purpose of my visit."

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"If you want to win without fighting, then you have to bring down the Red Bear."

"It is self-evident that there are two major armed groups in the world today."

"How do we do this?"

"It's actually quite simple; we just need to know the bear's weaknesses."

Smith was completely bewildered:
"Do bears have weaknesses? I can't sense any."

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Of course it has weaknesses, and they're not just minor ones."

"Their economic structure is problematic."

"They need a huge amount of salary resources."

"However, bear resources are limited, and maintaining such a large number year after year would require astronomical amounts of resources."

"The only thing a bear can do is tilt the economic structure."

"Their lightness skill is not entirely nonexistent, but it's barely better than nothing."

"According to my intelligence, the bears are not having an easy time."

Smith asked, puzzled:

Where did you get your information?

He quickly explained,
“You know, I’m not trying to find out your source of information; I just want to confirm the accuracy of the information.”

Wang Dao smiled:
"Home!"

Smith suddenly realized.

If the intelligence came from his hometown, then it's not surprising.

My hometown is worthy of respect.

Smith did not reject intelligence from his hometown.

He also knew that although Wang Dao was a big capitalist, he had a very good relationship with his hometown.

Some time ago, Wang Dao also donated tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to his hometown to support education there.

This is an open secret in the eyes of intelligence agencies around the world.

Wang Dao looked at Smith in surprise:
"Doesn't the CIA have complete control over this kind of intelligence?"

"Do we need to do any further verification?"

Smith nodded:

"Indeed."

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"Now that we've confirmed that the other party is at fault, things will be much easier."

"We must force the other side to further deplete its resources."

Smith was taken aback:
"what do you mean?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"Arms race".

Smith looked at Wang Dao with a suspicious gaze:

"Are you sure this is depleting Russia's resources, and not the US's?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"Listen to everything you are told."

It is impolite to interrupt someone's conversation.

Smith quickly apologized.

The Way of the King:

What is the most frightening thing about a Russian bear?

Smith said without hesitation:

“Big mushrooms, thousands of big mushrooms.”

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"That's right, it's a big mushroom."

"Diodes achieve peace by ensuring mutual destruction, but neither the U.S. nor the Russian bear are actually satisfied with this."

"This is actually maintaining peace amidst extreme fear."

"He is not friendly to anyone."

"Ordinary schemes can go wrong, and it's not easy for the red bear to fall for them."

"Then we have no choice but to find another way."

"The Ugly country needs to establish a strategic defense plan."

Smith asked, puzzled:

"Strategic defense plan?"

Wang Dao's face was full of wicked humor:

Why must we ensure mutual destruction?

"Wouldn't it be great if we could make thousands of giant mushrooms obsolete?"

"If we can turn these giant mushrooms into something that I can use but you can't, wouldn't the psychological advantage between the two countries be completely reversed?"

"Interception can be carried out at various stages of missile flight, such as the main propulsion phase, midcourse phase, and terminal phase."

"If this idea succeeds, it will become a situation where only the U.S. can fight against the Russian bear, while the Russian bear cannot fight against the U.S."

Smith was overjoyed:
"Does such a system really exist?"

Wang Dao chuckled.

"Of course it's a lie!"

Smith was deflated:

"How wonderful would it be if it really were?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"It's impossible to complete with current technology."

"But this is also the most brilliant part of the plan."

"Some things can't be completed, but with effort, it seems possible to succeed."

"It was just a little bit short."

"But even this small amount requires a huge investment of manpower and resources."

"In other words, whether it's the U.S. or the Russian bear, whoever succeeds first will have their nuclear weapons rendered useless."
