032. The Frost-Plated Republic's Breaking Point

On Essex Island, at the GTB Headquarters, after today's summit ended, Frost-Plated Republic spokesperson Liu Zhidong walked out of the meeting room with a gloomy expression. She felt that if she had spoken one more word with Tianhuan's spokesperson Boyan Jun, her lungs would have exploded.

She hurried back to the secure communications room and urgently shouted to the operator:

"Get me through to Twin Star Palace, the President's direct line. Something major has happened."

In fact, the operator had been closely following the summit's developments and immediately connected her to the President's direct line.

At that moment in the Frost-Plated Republic, President Medway Ostavaya was inspecting a newly constructed reservoir. This woman, who ruled one of the four nations, was also the world's most formidable female politician. Thanks to excellent maintenance, even her thick blonde hair had trendy blue highlights.

"Every worker who builds this reservoir is one of our Frost-Plated Republic's great heroines. Though you men may carry original sin, you are in no way inferior to women. This reservoir will become the new mother of Frost-Plated girls, nurturing each one to become a new heroine, just like you. Many of you have sacrificed your youth and time for this project, especially the tireless female overseers who missed their daughters' birthdays and graduation ceremonies. How touching..."

Medway's speech was in full swing. Most of the workers in the audience were men, so she had to work even harder to instill the idea of 'female supremacy' in them. Next, according to her plan, the project's female manager would deliver a speech, receiving her praise and encouragement.

As for these male workers, although a few had died during the construction of the reservoir, it was nothing more than what they deserved.

Out of respect, Medway would naturally shake hands with their female leaders, showing her eternal concern and care for women's rights.

When the secretary handed her the phone, a trace of impatience appeared on Medway's face, as this interruption had disrupted her schedule. She activated a backup plan, allowing Frost-Plated Prime Minister Zhu Yuliu to give the speech in her stead. Surrounded by Law I guards, she boarded her presidential vehicle and took the call, responding irritably:

"This is Medway. Make it quick."

"Madam President, this is Liu Zhidong from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Liu Zhidong said gravely. "The GTB summit has passed sanctions against us. Tianhuan, Zhengxu, and Red Arrow have announced a grain embargo against us, and the allocation of helium-3 energy has been reduced by seventeen percent..."

"Oh."

Medway was indifferent:

"This was expected. It's fine. Mobilize Law III and have the Dlamaran consortium pressure the Red Arrow Empire. I don't believe the old emperor can hold out. The Dlamarans are the pinnacle of political correctness. Besides, we still have the Granth Republic to provide enough grain to get through this winter. By next year, it'll be Tianhuan and Zhengxu's farmers who won't be able to withstand the pressure."

'This idiot! Does she even know what's really going on?'

Liu Zhidong cursed inwardly but didn't forget to flatter her verbally:

"Madam President, your wisdom is unparalleled, but the situation is worse than we anticipated."

"Is that so?" President Medway found it amusing. "Then go ahead and speak. We have the invincible Law III, and the world is under control."
