Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 133 Give me an explanation
However, just as he thought the plan was good, Zhou Dong changed the subject, speaking in a rather peculiar tone, and continued:

"Regarding the support plan, that's the general outline. However, there's one specific issue I need your opinion on. That is, there are some differing opinions internally regarding whether to provide support to the island nation, and I'd like to hear your thoughts."

"Island nation?"

Lin Yi was initially puzzled. So many countries were desperately in need of food, so why single out this question for me?

But his mind raced, and he immediately understood Zhou Donglai's and the Supreme Command's considerations.

They were afraid that their own lingering resentment about historical issues would affect cooperation.

Having figured this out, Lin Yi was speechless.

He is no longer at an age where he can be swayed by simple emotions; he now considers issues with greater emphasis on practical value and long-term interests.

However, since the other party had asked so earnestly, he did have a somewhat unconventional perspective.

In my previous life, although that island nation was weak overall and failed to cultivate even a decent Star Core level expert in the war against the Abyss, its soldiers and civilians were indeed much more tenacious in their will to resist than some European countries. They could be considered good cannon fodder, and a resistance force worth trying to win over.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and then replied.

"Support is possible."

Zhou Donglai didn't say a word.

But Lin Yi then added.

"However, I think that since we're going to provide support, we should make them think about how to explain what happened before."

He paused for a moment, then added, "If they think it through, providing support isn't out of the question."

On the other end of the communication, Zhou Donglai listened to Lin Yi's advice, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Okay, I understand. I will convey your feedback in full." He didn't say anything more, and ended the call immediately after receiving the answer.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Dong returned to the conference room and relayed Lin Yi's original words regarding the "additional conditions" for supporting the island nation.

Upon hearing this, the old man from the propaganda department paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "I think it's good! Comrade Lin Yi's method is quite good! Since we're asking for help, it's only right to accept punishment for past mistakes! This can also be considered a kind of... well, symbolic apology and severance."

The head of the foreign affairs department smiled and shook his head, his tone relaxed: "I have no objection. This approach is direct and effective, avoiding many unnecessary disputes that may arise in the future."

Seeing that the heads of the main departments all agreed, Li Zhenguo made the final decision.

"Alright! Since everyone agrees, let's proceed as Comrade Lin Yi suggested. Immediately reply to all member states that have requested assistance, and ask them to provide the precise coordinates of the most critical areas within their borders with the highest concentration of Abyssal Beasts within half an hour. We will deploy long-range strategic missiles for fire support!"

The order spread swiftly, like an electric current, throughout all the strategic nodes of the Xia Kingdom that were still in operation.

A military base next to a large settlement.

Amidst the deep roar of engines, one after another, massive, dark green missile launchers, like awakened steel behemoths, drove out of the warehouse and into their designated launch positions.

As the hydraulic system operated, the massive launch tube slowly rose, pointing straight to the sky.

Technicians were intensely conducting final data checks, and the air was thick with the atmosphere of steely resolve.

"Target parameters confirmed!"

"All parameters verified!"

"Countdown begins! Ten, nine, eight!"

As the countdown reached zero, the commander forcefully swung his arm down: "Fire!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of muffled, thunderous roars resounded.

The missile spewed out a huge, dazzling flame and thick smoke from its tail. The powerful thrust shoved the heavy missile away from the launch pad. The dark green missile, like a dragon breaking free from its restraints, roared and pierced through the clouds, leaving a long trail of flame before disappearing from sight.

One, two, ten. Hundreds of azure dragons from the Xia Kingdom pierced the sky, carrying destruction and hope across continents. A settlement in a small Southeast Asian country.

The thin defensive line was already on the verge of collapse, and the soldiers were running out of ammunition. Facing what seemed to be an endless tide of abyssal beasts, despair spread through their hearts.

The commander looked at the last barbed wire fence that was about to be breached and closed his eyes.

Sudden.

A piercing shriek echoed from the sky.

Immediately following was a violent explosion that shook the earth!

boom! boom! boom!
Three enormous fireballs rose from the center of the dense beast tide, and the shockwaves instantly tore thousands of abyssal beasts to pieces and hurled them into the sky.

The originally surging black tide was blasted open with three huge gaps, halting its offensive.

The surviving soldiers stared in disbelief at this divine punishment that seemed to descend from the sky.

"A missile?! Which major power is helping us?"

"It's the East! It must be a major Eastern power! Our country has joined the alliance they lead! Only they still have the capability to provide this kind of support!"

The commander roared excitedly, his voice choked with emotion, "Brothers! Reinforcements are here! Hold on! For our homeland!"

Outside the Renton Tower settlement in England.

Elizabeth's face was covered in gunpowder smoke; she had just killed a leader-level abyssal beast with Adams' help, and her breath was still ragged.

The defensive line had already retreated two lines, leaving them with nowhere left to retreat.

Just then, a chilling shriek came from high above.

"Didn't we run out of missiles long ago?" Adams exclaimed consciously.

Elizabeth looked up in the direction of the sound, a flash of understanding in her eyes.

"No, it's not ours. It's the Xia Kingdom. At this time, they're probably the only ones who still have the resources to project their power so far away."

Before the words were even finished, several missiles accurately struck the densest rear echelon of the abyssal beasts in the distance, sending flames soaring into the sky.

The immense power not only cleared out a large area but also severely disrupted the Abyss Beast's attack rhythm.

The pressure on the defensive line was suddenly relieved, and the soldiers who had survived the ordeal erupted in cheers.

An island nation, the Jingdong Bay settlement.

The vanguard of the Abyss Beasts had already broken into the edge of the abandoned city, just a step away from the core settlement. The hastily constructed defenses were on the verge of collapse under the frenzied onslaught.

Suddenly, the same shrill whistle pierced the sky.

Several missiles landed with astonishing accuracy on the front line of the Abyss Beasts' attack and the flank gathering points.

Boom! !
The massive explosion and flames engulfed thousands of abyssal beasts, and the violent shockwave even completely leveled some low-lying ruins.

The deadly metal jets and overpressure instantly shattered the Abyss Beast's most ferocious attack.

"It's reinforcements! It's a blazing dragon from the East!" came the observer's excited voice through the communication channel.

At the same time, another missile, following the coordinates provided by the island nation's high command, streaked with flame and struck at an almost vertical angle a cluster of buildings that had miraculously survived the apocalypse but were long forgotten.

A more intense and concentrated burst of fire and smoke shot into the sky than the previous support explosions, and the entire complex was reduced to dust in the massive blast.
