"Huh...... King Locke, I hope you pay attention to your words. I can now speak to you with full powers on behalf of the United States Government, and with such remarks, can I think that you are declaring war on me on behalf of your country?"

In the face of Locke's ridicule, James's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and even threatened Locke in turn.

But I have to say that although it has gone through the infighting of the three major chaebol families, the United States has recovered well. Especially now that the country has been opened up with the Rock Kingdom.

The former barracks of the Chinese peacekeeping force can now be called a small military base.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

By this time, the base was completely self-sufficient.

The so-called great power demeanor is completely devoid here in the United States. There is only one word they pay attention to - profit!

As long as it can get benefits, get enough benefits, the United States can not care about anything. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the United States was able to make a lot of war money through two world wars.

While the rest of the developed countries, without exception, are mired in war, the United States can take the opportunity to become the most powerful and richest country in the world. And this hegemonic position has been maintained for nearly a hundred years. Moreover, during this period, another superpower that is qualified to sit on an equal footing with it will be dragged down by means of a military race.

If a country has been in a high position for a long time, its citizens will automatically have the pride of being a great power. It's like James now, even though he's only the captain of a small peacekeeping force.

But as he said, at some point, he was completely free to represent the U.S. government, but he negotiated something with Locke.

And like now, when Locke opened his mouth to ridicule the United States, James's understatement was enough to make Locke's face change immediately.

Because although he was in a hurry just now, Locke could say something sarcastic about the United States. But if he really wants to go to war with the United States, even if he gives Locke ten dares, he will not dare.

Although China's position in the world is now climbing rapidly, it has a tendency to surpass the United States in one fell swoop. In Africa, China's influence and prestige have long surpassed those of the United States.

But in the end, after three years, the United States has recovered from the infighting with the three major chaebols.

Although the speed of development is still not as fast as before for the time being, as the saying goes, if it is broken, it will stand up, and if it is not broken, it will not stand.

After this battle with the three major chaebol families, the US government's control over the entire country has also been raised to a higher level. Although the war with the three major chaebols has indeed caused a lot of impact on the US economic system.

But it regained the right to print US dollar bills, making the government's rule more solid and solid. Compared with the benefits that can be obtained, the losses suffered by the United States are not small for the US government, but they are definitely worth it.

What Locke said about the current position of China and the United States in the world should be reconsidered, is actually not alarmist.

After all, it is the only country in the world whose culture has a long history of 5,000 years, and as long as it has enough time for development, it will naturally not be worse than any country.

During the war between the United States and the three major chaebols, although the time was only a few months, the negative impact and impact on the entire United States after that have not completely dissipated until now.

And Huaguo has developed smoothly in the past few years.

Although the United States has made all kinds of difficulties, it has also united several neighboring countries to sanction China.

However, Huaguo itself has the world's largest consumer market, and even if it is not exported, it is enough to swallow many products through domestic sales alone.

So the matter of sanctions, for the rest of the countries, may be okay. But for Huaguo, although it cannot be said that it is completely ineffective. However, the effect it can achieve is not as good as that of other countries.

It is not easy for a country with a sufficient number of consumers and a level of technology sufficient to meet the needs of these consumers.

But the Kingdom of Rock is different, although it is one of the richest countries in the whole world, it has a small population and backward technology. Oil exports alone, plus tourism.

Although it can make the Locke Kingdom rich, but getting rich and making it powerful are two concepts.

It's like a few decades ago, the Chinese Army was already unparalleled in the world. But at that time, no one would take a look at Hua Guogao because of this.

A poor country that even has difficulty eating, no matter how strong its military strength is, is nothing more than an idiot country with reckless military force in the eyes of other countries. However, with the passage of time, with the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological level, especially the national economic level and living standard.

Similarly, China's army is still unparalleled in the world. But in the eyes of other countries, China is now a country that is rich and strong.

There is money and no money, and the evaluation of countries with strong military forces is completely two extremes.

The Rock Kingdom, on the other hand, is at the other extreme.

In terms of the level of the national economy in a single round, there are not many people in the whole world who can surpass the Rock Kingdom. Although it has gone through the war, the economy of the Kingdom of Rock will recover quickly - after all, it does not require much investment in the export of oil and tourism.

But no country would think that the rich Kingdom of Locke was a powerful country.

In the past, the mercenaries had simply beaten the regular army of the Rock Kingdom, which was nearly ten times their own strength. If it weren't for the cooperation of the Chinese peacekeeping forces, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been even those who escaped!

Then, in the civil war, the fierceness of the army of the Rock Kingdom seemed to be very bloody.

But more of it is just a joke for others - a layman in the foreign war, an insider in the civil war.

This in itself is a ridiculous thing, when the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the enemy, it is not like a word. And when the muzzle of the gun is aimed at one's own people, it is strong not to be unwanted - although in fact, it is because the level gap is not large, so it will be much more miserable.

And for this, Locke, who seized power by force through mutiny, was most aware of this. Although now after a series of wars, plus the training methods left over from the Chinese peacekeeping forces.

The combat capabilities of the army of the Rock Kingdom have been greatly improved, but that is only compared to before.

If compared with the United States, which can be squeezed into the top three in the global ranking, Locke really doesn't have the courage to let his army confront the American army.

So after hearing James's understatement, Locke's face couldn't help but change.

"Of course not. Locke's face, which was still tense, immediately eased a lot.

"No, I thought that the Locke Kingdom wanted to test the combat capabilities of your country's army now?" James looked at Locke with a sneer, without any respect on his face.

"Huh...... I was just joking with Captain James. "Locke can endure for more than thirty years, and although he has now become a king, he still knows exactly what the level of his country's military strength is.

He can endure for thirty years in order to seize the throne, and naturally he will not be hysterical immediately because of James's words.

If it weren't for the recent intensification of questioning and rebellion in the country, Locke would not have lost his temper.

"It's for the best. James chuckled.

"However, I also hope that your country can help, after all, according to the original agreement, I will allow your country to replace Hua as the country that garrisons troops in the Rock Kingdom, and your country should help maintain the law and order of our country. But now the situation in the country, compared to Captain James, is also known. If these things are not eased again, when the time comes, I will step down, and I am afraid that the new king may not agree to the things I promised before. Locke's tone was very humble, but there was no lack of threat in it.

Yes, I can admit it now. But if you really want to pretend to be forced in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is done playing, and your thoughts of the United States wanting to get benefits from me will be in vain!

Either you will help Lao Tzu, or you will continue to pretend to be dead, and when things can't be cleaned up, there will be no benefit to you in the United States!

In fact, even if this matter is not investigated, it is not difficult to guess who the identity of the person who planned it behind the scenes. James didn't have any waves on his face, which was completely different from the image of the second force when he was in front of Yang Xiaotian before.

"Oh, Captain James, I'm going to tell me. ”

"Huaguo. James uttered a word, and his face finally showed a little excitement. "I have long heard that China's army is unparalleled in the world, and it used to fight a few decades ago, but it ended in failure at that time. Decades have passed, and China's economic level has risen, but the people's desire for pleasure has also increased day by day. I don't believe it, the current Chinese army is still so powerful!"

"Your country's army is the best in the world, and I hope Captain James can prove this matter through this incident. Locke said with a smile.

"Huh...... Courtesy of Ji Yan. James nodded, then straightened up. When I reached the door, I suddenly stopped. "I need your cooperation in domestic affairs. I hope that the Rock Kingdom can give an order, and when my people carry out the mission, I hope that everyone will cooperate unconditionally. ”

"Of course. Locke said with a smile.

"Thank you. James nodded, then turned to leave.

When James walked away, Locke's face suddenly darkened.
