Chapter 17 – Our enemy is the Deity

However.

Listening to Ambassador Pine Dog's question.

In this solemn setting.

Old Jin's mouth suddenly twitched upward.

His serious old face twitched for two seconds, as if holding back something.

Finally, he couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

That smile was full of disdain!

"Hahaha, dealing with you?" Old Jin laughed, looking at everyone present, "To deal with you, do we really need a fifty-million conscription?"

"You really think too highly of yourselves."

"And you underestimate Great Xia too much!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of all the foreign diplomats present changed. The Gui Tian Country's Pine Dog diplomat, who had spoken earlier, clenched his fists: "What do you mean? Are you insulting our Gui Tian Country?"

"Ahem," Old Jin tried to calm his breath, speaking with a bit more seriousness: "No, I'm not insulting Gui Tian Country."

"What I'm saying is."

"None of you here are worth us conscripting fifty million."

"Hah, to deal with you, conscripting fifty million... you really think too highly of yourselves."

Arrogant!

At this moment, a surge of wildness erupted from Old Jin!

To deal with you, why would we need a fifty-million conscription?

With Great Xia's current military strength, do we need to conscript fifty million more to handle you?

Ambassador Pine Dog wanted to retort, but he had nothing to say.

Although Gui Tian Country is considered a strong nation, its total population is only a hundred million!

Just as Old Jin said, for Great Xia to deal with them, why would they need to conscript fifty million more?

At this moment, the diplomats present felt a chill down their spines.

Wasn't Great Xia supposed to be a country with no temper?

In fact, before this, Great Xia adhered to the ancestral teachings of kindness and mostly just protested against provocations from other countries.

But these diplomats mistook this kindness for weakness, thinking it meant they had no temper.

And now.

With the Descent of the Gods imminent, Old Jin couldn't be bothered to play nice with these people anymore and just let loose!

For a moment.

These diplomats were stunned to discover that Great Xia wasn't without a temper!

To deal with you, why would we need a fifty-million conscription?

Only Great Xia would dare to say such a thing!

"The sleeping dragon has awakened!"

"Damn, when did that dozing lion show its fangs!"

The foreign ambassadors were all shocked, looking at Old Jin in disbelief.

And at this moment, as Old Jin spoke these words.

The domestic forums exploded instantly!

"Oh my, when did our spokesperson become so bold?"

"To deal with you, why would we need a fifty-million conscription! Show our national might! So domineering!"

"Old Jin is mighty! Great Xia is mighty!"

"Exactly, do we need to conscript to deal with these guys? Hah, just a few peacekeepers would clean up that little Gui Tian Country."

"Hahaha, they really think too highly of themselves! Do they think we're still the Qing Dynasty?"

Meanwhile, international friends watching the live broadcast online were instantly indignant upon hearing Old Jin's words!

"Great Xia is too arrogant!"

"Exactly, our Gui Tian Country does not accept this! Just a mere Great Xia, even with their current military strength... ah, sorry, Great Xia is awesome."

"Let Great Xia brag all they want, our White Elephant Nation people drink cow urine and practice yoga every day, just one of our warriors on a motorcycle could scare their soldiers to death!"

"Yeah, right, your White Elephant Nation can fit three hundred people on a motorcycle, anyone would be scared to death seeing that..."

For a moment.

The press conference became awkward again.

Ambassador Pine Dog from Gui Tian Country had finally mustered the courage to question Great Xia.

But then Old Jin from Great Xia just casually said, "To deal with you, why would we need a fifty-million conscription?"

Leaving these ambassadors speechless.

The courage they had just gathered vanished again...

"Ring ring..." Old Jin's phone rang again.

Old Jin took out his phone and looked down.

Lin Fan: "The National Leader just called me again. Uncle Jin, you're my dear uncle, could you please tone it down a bit! Before you went on stage, you told me you weren't confident about being the spokesperson, but this doesn't look like a lack of confidence!"

"But I really don't know how to be a spokesperson, and didn't you tell me to be more confident?" Old Jin thought for a moment and replied.

"Just tone it down a bit!" Lin Fan felt extremely conflicted, "You're making Great Xia look so belligerent, look how scared you've made them! They're all starting to tremble!"

"Go and reassure them!"

"Alright." Old Jin sighed and put away his phone.

To be honest, Old Jin didn't think he was being excessive.

Our conscription is a domestic affair, what business is it of yours?

You foreign ambassadors come running over, each with a questioning attitude... does it concern you? Isn't this blatant interference in our domestic affairs?

With Old Jin's temper, it's already giving face by not cursing outright.

Old Jin took a deep breath: "Ahem, what I said earlier was a bit harsh. Actually, what I meant to say is..."

"You have no right to question Great Xia."

These refined words were even more insulting than the previous arrogant ones!

You have no right!

This is Great Xia's attitude towards these foreign ambassadors who came to question them!

The current Great Xia is not for you to question!

"You..." Ambassador Pine Dog glared, wanting to say something.

"Questioning the purpose of our conscription, hah, you're not upholding justice, so don't put on that righteous facade." Old Jin sneered, "You're afraid!"

"You're afraid of Great Xia!"

"Afraid of the people of Great Xia!"

"Afraid that Great Xia will go to war with you!"

"Only then would you be so afraid of our fifty-million conscription, and interfere in our domestic affairs. Hah, our conscription, what does it have to do with you?"

"If you're not afraid, even if we conscript a hundred million, would you come and ask?"

"If you're afraid, don't put on a questioning attitude! If war breaks out, which of you can withstand it?"

For a moment, all the foreign ambassadors fell silent.

They didn't want to admit it.

But in fact, they were afraid!

"Apologize, recognize your position, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, you can leave directly. This is Great Xia's attitude."

Old Jin snorted coldly.

Ambassador Pine Dog slowly lowered his head: "I'm sorry. Could you please tell us why Great Xia is conscripting?"

For a moment.

The foreign ambassadors, who were so arrogant before the press conference, all lowered their heads.

"I'm very sorry, but could you please..."

"I'm sorry..."

Apologies echoed throughout the venue!

This was the world's apology to Great Xia!

"Alright." Old Jin snorted coldly, speaking in a deep voice: "Since you've made your attitude clear, I'll be merciful and answer you."

"After all, our ancestral teaching is to be kind to others."

"The purpose of our conscription is indeed to prepare for war, but not to go to war with any country."

For a moment.

All the ambassadors, and all the domestic and international viewers watching the live broadcast, widened their eyes in confusion.

Preparing for war.

But not going to war with any country?

What does this mean?

International netizens online were frantically commenting.

"Is Great Xia planning to fight aliens?"

"What on earth is going on with Great Xia? A fifty-million conscription, but not preparing to go to war with other countries?"

"Exactly, conscripting fifty million is enough to handle any country, so what is Great Xia preparing for? Is there an enemy more formidable than other countries?"

"If they're not preparing to go to war with other countries, why is Great Xia making such a big scene?"

Great Xia's internet was even more explosive.

"Please explain!"

"Even though I don't understand, something big is definitely happening!"

"Please, Old Jin, explain. If it's not other countries, then who is our enemy?"

At the venue.

Ambassador Pine Dog stood up with a complex expression, "Could you tell us, Great Xia... who is the enemy you're preparing to go to war with?"

"Hehe."

Old Jin chuckled: "Even if you didn't ask, I was going to say it."

"Taking this opportunity, Great Xia wants to inform all its citizens of the reason for the conscription, so they understand Great Xia's upcoming situation. And out of goodwill, we also want to warn other countries."

"Everyone."

"The Deity is about to descend! In just three months!"

"Our enemy is not any country."

"But the Deity!"
