That afternoon, Citigroup President Benjamin Franklin met with Hans in his office. At the same time, they also listened to Hans's views on the Chinese question.

Hans said to Franklin at the end of his speech, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency." The Huaxia we need is a docile, empire-ready elephant. And now the elephant has a hurtful heart. We're going to have to teach it a lesson and let it know some pain. In this way, it can be better served by the Empire.

Franklin smiled and nodded after listening to Hans's words. Hans saw that the president seemed to have agreed to his proposal, and immediately asked Franklin. Your Excellency, what are you going to do with this elephant?

Franklin smiled and said to Hans, just let our allies suspend the supply of oil to China for a week. As far as I know, their strategic petroleum reserves are only enough for two months, and as long as the international oil market is disturbed, they will inevitably be in chaos for a while. We will use the weapon of oil to warn this elephant and let him serve us honestly.

After listening to the president's words, Hans unconsciously nodded and praised that there is a saying in the ancient Chinese art of war that it is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight. I think Mr. President took that to the extreme.

Just as Franklin was indulging in Hans's praise of himself, his secretary knocked on the door and said, "Mr. President, Secretary of Defense, Admiral Bowen, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Jotun, have asked to see you immediately, saying that there is a fifth-degree military incident to report to you."

Listening to the secretary's words, Franklin's heart immediately set off an uproar. A Level 5 military incident means that the Empire is under great military threat. The president also has the right to decide whether to use pre-emptive measures.

Could it be that the country of Ares is going to attack us?, with doubts in mind, Franklin invited the two generals to his office.

As the commander of the Citi Nation Army, Admiral Bowen and Jordan sat down in the room and immediately reported to Franklin. Your Excellency the President, a very strange incident has happened! The nuclear weapons base in China, which we monitor 24 hours a day by satellite, suddenly disappeared without a trace 12 hours ago.

Is this impossible? Is there something wrong with the satellite? Hans, the director of the investigation bureau, said in disbelief at this time.

Admiral Bowen shook his head and said, "We have sent twenty-four satellites to repeatedly observe China's strategic nuclear weapons base. But the results are still surprising. China's strategic nuclear weapons have disappeared like air before our eyes. This poses a great threat to the security of our country.

Your Excellency, what are we going to do? Bowen asked eagerly.

President Franklin thought about it for a while and said, no wonder the Chinese have been so arrogant lately. But I don't know if their leaders have considered whether they can withstand the wrath of our Citi Nation if they make small moves with us!

Then President Franklin said, "Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately send a note to the Chinese government on my behalf, asking them to make it clear where the strategic nuclear weapons are going, and they must give us a satisfactory answer, otherwise they will wait to bear the wrath of the Empire!"

Yes, Your Excellency. You're so wise!" Hans continued to flatter, saying that he must let these yellow-skinned monkeys of the East taste some bitterness.

And with Franklin's decision, a note from the president of Citigroup was also sent to the desk of the leader of Huaxia No. 1.

At this time, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence were reporting to Chief No. 1 on the recent situation of various weapons manufacturing in the army.

After reading the note, Chief No. 1 interrupted the briefing of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence. He handed the note from Citigroup to the two of them. Look at both of you, our enemies are anxious.

The prime minister and the defense minister picked up the note, and after carefully reading it, the prime minister said indignantly: Citi is nakedly demonstrating to our country! Where strategic nuclear weapons are stored is China's internal affair. I can't help but point fingers.

At this moment, the Minister of Defense said indignantly that strategic nuclear weapons are as important to our country as a hunting rifle in the hands of a hunter. If we were to tell the man-eating tiger the secret of the shotgun, how could we possibly do that!

After listening to the words of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, the No. 1 Chief nodded with satisfaction and said, President Franklin of Citigroup does not seem to have woken up from his dream of hegemony, and he may not have imagined that the tricks used to choke our country's neck in the past have now been cracked by us. This time, we must let him know that we Huaxia people are not elephants slaughtered by tigers and wolves, but dragons that are about to take off.

After the No. 1 chief finished speaking, he wrote a sentence on the note with a pen. Then he called the secretary in and said, forwarding my words to the President of Citi in the name of a note. I'm going to see what he can do.

Soon after. As president, Franklin received a note from Huaxia, and when he saw the contents of the note, his big nose was almost crooked. Because there are only three words in the diplomatic note of the No. 1 chief, love whom!

Franklin angrily gathered all of his staff, and a plan for sanctions and threats against China was soon drawn up.

Three days later, Citi announced that Citi and its 29 allies had unilaterally and indefinitely halted oil and ore exports to China. Citi will unilaterally cease all economic cooperation with China. While providing economic and military support to the separatist power in China, the Baodao regime. Citi's Third Combined Fleet will also conduct a military exercise code-named "Elephant Slaughter" off the southeast coast of China in the near future.

After the Citigroup government, the world's largest power, showed its aggressive attitude, the world's media turned their attention to China. However, the response of the Huaxia government was beyond everyone's expectations, not only did it not make the slightest protest, but the price of oil and steel in Huaxia did not fluctuate in any way. Huaxia even made a move to sell oil and steel stocks, which also caused huge losses to speculators who wanted to take advantage of the Citi embargo.

Citi's embargo has not affected the lives of Chinese people in the slightest, but has put a heavy burden on their own businesses for default. Citi's domestic opposition to the embargo has also risen in waves.

Annoyed by the pressure, Franklin told Admiral Bowen that the Third Combined Fleet must give China a taste of it.

With the president's ulterior mission, the three aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet and more than 200 surface ships of Citi went straight to the southeast coast of China with murderous vigour.
