Scheming Green Tea Transcendent

"I thought you'd have to go to great lengths to persuade your country's elders to give up their covetousness of the Deceleration Field."

Malegith's voice rang in my ears. "Unexpectedly, they figured it out themselves."

Kang De smiled faintly, "Basic stuff, don't get carried away."

"I have to get six."

The American Empire air force was swept away, and silence fell around the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant. The Parrot freed its hands and began to speak to Kang De, "They don't know the details of this Deceleration Field; they can only infer and guess its profound significance from its effects... How could they abandon it so decisively?"

Malegith said sarcastically, "Don't they trust you?"

"No, it's because we don't trust the American Empire."

Kang De replied, "In their view, the nuclear power plant is right next to the American Empire, and the American Empire is determined to obtain Titan. If I were to seize it, it would mean that China would have the opportunity to gain a huge strategic advantage, and even be able to achieve military suppression of the American Empire... The American Empire would have no choice but to start an attack immediately."

"Because the longer it drags China, the more likely the US will complete its research and development of new weapons, and the high-tech weapons that the American Empire is so proud of will become a pile of junk. The later the fighting starts, the more miserable their deaths will be."

The Parrot clicked its tongue and said, "Does fighting really have to be the answer? We can compromise and share resources. Joint research and global development would be a great undertaking that benefits all of humanity."

Kang De laughed when he heard this.

The previous Phoenix King asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Only the China would think that way," Kang De said with a smile. "The words we see on that door read 'Long Live the Great Unity of the Peoples of the World,' our textbooks talk about universal harmony, and we seem to take it for granted that peace is the most important thing, that the whole world should unite. This is the education we receive from childhood, it's beautiful, and I'm proud of it... But the world isn't like that now."

His gaze traveled across the distant sky, to another country on the other side of the ocean.

"I don't believe that a corrupt empire that continuously reaps the fruits of the world's labor through force and printing money is willing to unite with us and advance the destiny of humanity on an equal footing. There was this guy named Obama who said that if all China people lived like United States, the planet couldn't sustain it. That's really well said, really well said, and that's good because..."

Kang De coldly replied, "He spoke the truth—but it A Chuan made us truly realize the irreconcilable hostility and malice hidden behind those words, and we should thank him for that."

Therefore, after gaining a clear understanding of the tense, complex, subtle, and uncompromising relationship between their own country and the American Empire, they did not hesitate to ask Kang De to destroy Titan.

I don't want to take that risk, and I certainly don't want the Amerikkka to get it.

"I see," the Parrot commented. "You guys are really cautious, walking on eggshells."

"If it weren't for the circumstances, who would be so cautious?"

As he spoke, he crossed a vast distance and arrived on the other side of the ocean.

Kang De said indifferently, "Having risen from the filthy, putrid blood and grime, and established a nation for seventy years, we know the bitterness and sweetness of life. This dog shit world, full of hostility and malice, will not give us a second chance to make mistakes."

"..."

The Parrot fell silent.

"Although your tone was heavy, your attitude serious, you were deeply concerned about the country and its people, harbored a deep hatred for the American Empire, and reached a consensus with the national leadership to fight for the interests of the Republic--"

She spoke such a long sentence in one breath, then took a deep breath.

A wave of complaints erupted.

"But don't fucking forget that you're the one who started this whole thing! What the hell are you doing here, you're the mastermind behind all this, pulling strings and deceiving China, the US, and Canada?!"

"Shut up!"

Kang De exclaimed, "If I don't get into character, how can I maintain my composure? If I don't get into character, my words will easily slip up, and the country's advisors will notice something amiss. Even a good working relationship will develop cracks!"

The Parrot said disdainfully, "Just admit it already! You're a deeply hidden double standard, putting on a patriotic act while all you're thinking about is business. You green tea patriot thief!"

"Who am I doing all this for?!"

Kang De scoffed, "All this fuss about, isn't it all just to get free equipment and rip off Griffin? And isn't Griffin all for his mission in another world? And isn't his mission in another world to conquer the Star Palace? And isn't conquering the Star Palace all for saving the world? How did I, an Earthling, end up as Fire Thief in another world? It's all for you guys!"

The Parrot was speechless, and said sullenly, "Fine, fine, you're great, enduring humiliation with such forbearance."

"Snort!"

"Stop humming, at worst she'll repay you with her body."

"If you don't say a word when you offer yourself to me, then I might consider it."

"You're not even allowed to make a sound?"

"Calling me is fine..."

"Great!" the Parrot chuckled. "I've already learned Sichuan dialect, and I can say it in Sichuan dialect..."

"--shut up!"

As they were talking, Kang De had already appeared on the Lake Huron. He pretended to walk around a few times, then took out his phone, ready to contact Qin Mengjin.

The Parrot, with its Phoenix Eye, saw his actions. "What are you doing?"

Kang De snorted, "Didn't you say I was a green tea bitch? Let me show you what a green tea superhuman looks like."

The call connected, Qin Mengjin's slightly nervous and surprised voice came through. "Hello?"

Kang De said, "I have arrived at Lake Huron."

Miss Qin exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

"Please don't use such adjectives to describe me," Kang De casually remarked, then replied, "I left teleportation points in major areas of United States. The Great Lakes region is an industrial hub, so of course it's a place that receives special attention... Is Senior Colonel Tian listening now?"

If he were to fly there slowly on his own, it would make him seem guilty. Instead, by openly stating that he could reach the vicinity of Lake Huron immediately, he could clear himself of suspicion.

Senior Colonel Tian's voice rang out. "I'm listening, Comrade Kang De, do you have a question?"

Kang De cleared his throat, his voice clear and his tone calm.

That's right.

He innocently replied, "Previously, the higher-ups wanted me to destroy the Titans as soon as possible because the country didn't want to take on this hot potato, nor did they want the American Empire to get it, is that right?"

Senior Colonel Tian replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

"But I suddenly realized there's a problem here."

"Speaking."

"The American Empire know I have teleportation abilities. Even if they see me destroy a giant with their own eyes, given their despicable nature of judging others by their own standards and their traditional skills of deception, they will certainly not believe it easily. They might even think that I did something behind the scenes, that I destroyed it on the surface but actually smuggled it back home."

"This..." Senior Colonel Tian hesitated, "This is indeed..."

Even from a distance, the Parrot saw Kang De display a pure, harmless smile.

So I have a suggestion.

"Please speak."

"Since the American Empire aren't comfortable with this," Kang De said with a smile, "Then let them destroy it themselves."

"Um?"

"Let the American Empire know that I'm going to meddle in their affairs. Once they realize the strategic value of the giant, they certainly won't let China have the opportunity to obtain it. And since I could enter the fray at any time, they'll only have one choice left—to resolve the issue as quickly as possible."

"This..."

"So the government also needs to help exert pressure, whether it's by negotiating with Can*da or intimidating the American Empire, the point is to make the American Empire reveal all its cards and show its true capabilities to solve the problem!"

Kang De waved his arms. "My mission is to ensure that the giants are eventually destroyed, but along the way, the American Empire will play a part. I can also take this opportunity to observe the American Empire's war power and trump cards for the sake of the country. How about that?"

"This..." Senior Colonel Tian replied, "I need to report to my superiors, please wait a moment."

Okay.

With that, the communication ended.

Kang De made a V-sign in the direction of the Titan.

A moment later, the Parrot's stammering, shocked voice finally rang out.

"You beast! That's your motherland! Your mother!"

She roared, "Did you mistake her for a man?!"

"--What utter nonsense!"

Kang De proudly declared, "Isn't my plan brilliant? Can*da prevented a nuclear leak, China a major threat to the American Empire, ensured the American Empire wouldn't acquire alien technology, allowed me to glean insights into the American Empire's strengths and weaknesses, and sowed discord between the Amerikkka and its allies. And I, in turn, gained access to the American Empire equipment—"

He shouted triumphantly, "--Isn't such a future bright!?"

"You're filthy! Don't speak to me for the next thirty seconds!"

Soon, another call came in from China.

"Comrade Kang De," the colonel asked, "How do you need our cooperation?"

Kang De chuckled and said, "Just use diplomatic hints and pressure. If the higher-ups agree, then I'll get started..."

"Ah..." Senior Colonel Tian somewhat uneasily, "Could you tell me what you're planning to do?"

"Of course, I'll make a phone call."

Kang De opened the Phase Door and returned to his homeland.

He then took out his satellite phone and dialed a number.

That was written down while I was in London.

"The Amerikkka will solve the problem! OK? It's just a minor technical adjustment!" A Chuan hung up Trudeau's phone, sat down in his chair, and sulked angrily.

Just then, the personal cell phone on the table buzzed.

He looked impatient, glanced at the screen, and suddenly his eyes widened.

In theory, successive Amerikkka presidents have only communicated via secure telephone lines located in their operations rooms, offices, or vehicles.

But A Chuan is the kind of man who directly gives his phone number to heads of state from all over the world!

The incoming number was completely unfamiliar, but A Chuan's intuition told him not to hang up. The Amerikkka president, as if possessed, pressed the answer button.

Immediately, a sinister voice rang out from the other end.

"Today is Queen Britain's birthday. You need to call seven people and relay the contents of this call, or you will be bombarded at the back door within seven days..."

"Watzefa..."

Before the confused A Chuan could finish his catchphrase, he suddenly had a jolt.

He shouted, "Kang De!"

"That's right, it is I!"

Kang De exclaimed, "Dong A Chuan! My dear friend! Please allow me to call and express my gratitude, for you have introduced me to a very important business opportunity!"

A Chuan asked warily, "You created this giant, didn't you?"

--Holy crap.

Kang De scoffed, his voice turning cold. "I think you've become obsessed with anti-China sentiment. There's no media here, nor your idiotic redneck supporters. There's no need to spread fake news."

A Chuan stubbornly refused to budge. "What was the purpose of this phone call? Were you trying to trick me into using nuclear weapons? Tell me why you need atomic energy? Or are you trying to trick me into sending more troops for you to kill? No, eliminating the Amerikkka' troops here is meaningless. What are you plotting? What benefit would that bring you?"

--Damn.

"Neuropathy."

Kang De cursed, "Damn idiots! Fine, I was going to try and get involved, but whoever wants to can interfere, can! You can all just wait to drink Fallout water! Go eat shit!"

A Chuan ignored these words: "Take care of it? You still say this isn't part of your conspiracy! Releasing that monster, then pretending to solve it, taking money, and gaining Can*da's gratitude—you're planning to use the same trick again, aren't you! I'm warning you, the Amerikkka will not turn a blind eye, I..."

--Fuck.

Kang De was shocked.

This guy is three hundred Trudeau stronger than Grand Secretary Yue!

Although the situation was still developing in the direction he had anticipated, Kang De felt an instinctive sense of danger from A Chuan's animalistic intuition, and he could only curse on the phone, "Fuck you, A Chuan, fuck you."

"Fuck you, Kang De!" A Chuan loosened his tie, exchanging insults with him. "You cunning China, I swear I'll make you and your country pay!"

"Fuck you, A Chuan, you'd better not come begging to me, and you'd better not let me get a chance."

Kang De said sinisterly, "You've seen what happened to Britain. I really like many of their companies, and now they're all mine—I also really like American Empire companies. Don't give me a chance to get a stake in them, or sooner or later I'll block your Twitter and send Ivanka to Pornhub!"

"Mommy Zefak, you..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the defense minister, who had returned, looked astonished. He hadn't even stood still at the Five-Headed Building before running back—because he had overheard that phone call!

"Keep him calm! Keep him calm!" The defense minister's face contorted violently as he thrashed about, "Don't let Kang De get any closer! Absolutely not! Please don't!"

"You idiot!" A Chuan was stunned for a moment, then roared, "You dared to wiretap my phone!"

Kang De paused for a moment, not understanding what had happened, but still sneered, "Oh ho, it seems that even a certain democratically elected president has been PRISM. Well done, America, you really are democratic and equal."

"Mr. President, you shouldn't speak with Kang De in private. After all, we can't guarantee how much of China played in this matter!"

The defense minister deliberately shouted loudly, then stepped forward, forcibly snatched A Chuan's phone, and hung up the call.

Then he let out a long breath.

"What are you doing!" A Chuan roared, "I'm firing you!"

The defense minister tossed his phone aside, calming himself. "The generals will be here soon, sir. Emergency meeting. We must capture that giant alive, and we must do it before China."

A Chuan was taken aback and shouted, "Catch him alive my ass! That was something Kang De created. Maybe in the end, he'll just vanish into thin air like that sea monster!"

"Oh my god, can you please stop mentioning China!"

The Defense Minister stated unequivocally, "This was absolutely not made by China company! That's not technology they could possibly possess! If the extraordinary technology aboard the Titan belonged to China, there wouldn't have been this provocation at all. They would have quietly developed it for another ten years, deployed it on a large scale, and then instantly destroyed all our retaliatory forces in a surprise attack without warning! All of them! And we wouldn't even need to worry about a nuclear counterattack!"

He slammed all the documents in his hand onto the table. "The Marines who secretly arrived at the nuclear power plant area by surface speedboat have already tested it! That mysterious force is area-of-effect; it can limit not only the top speed of aircraft, but even bullets and rockets!"

"In other words! Guns! Cannons! Rockets! Missiles! Aircraft!" the Defense Minister roared, "All weapons that rely on kinetic energy for delivery and destruction will be restricted! Our actual combat capability will probably regress to that of World War II, do you understand?! This thing can never be China!"

Overwhelmed by this imposing manner, A Chuan pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

He remained unconvinced and muttered under his breath, "But it could be Kang De's; he just didn't want to give it to China..."

"Don't mention Kant!"

Thanks to the close and trusting superior-subordinate relationship between the Defense Minister and President A Chuan -chuan, this member of the military cabinet completely disbelieved the President's nonsense.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Now we must obtain Titan! This power must be in the hands of the Amerikkka! This is our highest interest!"

The defense minister stepped forward, his face grim. "As the leader of the Amerikkka, please be aware of your situation. You are about to issue the most important military order of the new century for this country."

"The generals will arrive soon. As a member of the cabinet, I hope you will make a wise choice at this critical juncture in history, as wise presidents throughout history have always fulfilled their responsibilities. This is also the expectation of the four armed forces, both parties, Congress, the courts, corporations, the people, and all the Amerikkka. Please do not fail them."

A Chuan clicked his tongue.

As a king, he never wavered in his convictions!

... but he needs to have a corresponding sense of crisis.

Fortunately, he did.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he possessed these qualities since his days as a merchant.

The president reluctantly replied, "Okay... okay, I understand."

The defense minister slowly exhaled, concealing the cold glint in his eyes.

He had just made up his mind that if A Chuan kept shouting about China China, he would immediately throw a punch and beat this seventy-year-old blond old bastard into the ICU, so that Elder Peng could take over the duties of the Grand President.

In these extraordinary times, the value of Titan is so precious that all parties will understand.

Anyway, nobody likes A Chuan.

As for beating up the president and such...

--Just kidding! If I could give that power and technology to the Amerikkka and my good friends, I could run for president in four years!

"The generals will arrive soon," he emphasized for the third time. "We will formulate an attack and capture plan, prepare for a protracted war, and most importantly, we must prevent Kang De and China from interfering in this matter."

"I hope you can play a role here, whether through strategic deception or even some compromise and bribery, the point is to keep Kang De out of the picture until Titan is captured."

The defense secretary extended his hand and shook hands with the reluctant president. "Believe me, if this goes well, your face will become the fifth portrait on Capitol Hill... for the sake of Amerikkka."

A Chuan responded vaguely, his gaze shifting, his mind still deep in thought.

He couldn't stop himself from having intuitive questions.

If the Titan were created by Kang De, if it was all part of his plan.

What benefit could Kang De possibly gain from this?

--I must uncover his secret.
