The scene was silent for three minutes.

In any other situation, three minutes of silence might not be significant.

But what was this occasion?

It was a questioning of Great Xia's decision to conscript fifty million soldiers by the so-called major powers, countries with significant influence!

They had come in full force, ready and prepared.

Yet, when faced with General Old Jin, they were so frightened they couldn't speak!

For a moment.

The citizens watching TV across Great Xia burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, why aren't they speaking?"

"Of course, they wanted to question us, but then General Old Jin showed up! His presence is completely different!"

"General Old Jin? Is he the chief of the Luzhou Military District? I heard he almost bombarded Gui Tian Country back in the day!"

"Who the hell would dare to step on General Old Jin's toes? Even if you gave these diplomats ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare! He's a veteran who would actually draw his gun!"

"I thought it would be a serious verbal battle, but this scene is oddly amusing, reminds me of when my teacher used to ask questions when I was a kid..."

"Oh my, that guy is trembling, wait... did he just wet his pants out of fear?"

The camera zoomed in on the Italian ambassador.

The middle-aged man was trembling all over, and there were even wet stains spreading on his pants...

This incident directly sapped the courage of the other diplomats to speak.

One has to admit.

Italy has a glorious tradition of inadvertently helping the other side...

The internet exploded, and foreigners who saw this scene were dumbfounded!

"OMG, why are these guys so cowardly?"

"Exactly, they were trash-talking Great Xia online before, but now they're wetting themselves at the meeting?"

"Weren't they posting about how they were going to question Great Xia harshly? How did they end up like this?"

On the podium.

Old Jin stood straight, looking into the distance.

Beneath his calm exterior, his heart surged!

He knew that his ability to be so assertive wasn't because he was so formidable!

It was because of the Great Xia behind him!

These diplomats weren't afraid of him.

They were afraid of Great Xia!

Of the 1.3 billion people of Great Xia!

The contempt and sneers these powers once had for Great Xia had now turned into fear!

The dragon had risen!

The straight spine wasn't just Old Jin's, it was Great Xia standing tall!

Looking at the diplomats who were now filled with fear, even trembling, Old Jin felt his eyes heat up!

"Old man, do you see this?"

"We have stood up!"

"They can no longer make us bow!"

"This prosperous era, as you wished! This Great Xia, as you wished!"

Old Jin tried to maintain the coldness on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.

If it weren't for the temperament honed over the years, Old Jin would almost have been unable to hold back his tears of emotion.

But.

At this moment.

"Ring ring!"

Old Jin took out his phone, glanced at it, and then turned around with a helpless expression, nodding towards Lin Fan who was sitting in the corner backstage.

On the phone, Lin Fan had sent a text.

"The National Leader called me, he said you should ease up a bit, don't be so tough, look, you've scared them so much they've wet their pants."

Old Jin replied with a text, looking speechless: "I didn't do it on purpose, I was just being myself. Who knew these guys were so fragile, they came in with a questioning stance, I thought they'd be tougher."

"I only said one sentence, and they wet themselves. Can you blame me for that?"

"You... you should tone it down a bit." Lin Fan was also speechless, "Our Great Xia has always been kind to others, usually avoiding conflicts with them. Our diplomats are quite polite to them."

"So they've been spoiled, thinking we're easy to bully."

"And then you shouted at them... well, it's also our fault as elders, we spoiled them."

Old Jin's aura from years on the battlefield was indeed too formidable, honed from life and death!

Usually, he exuded authority without anger, even Lin Fan felt nervous talking to him.

And this was Lin Fan, don't forget, Lin Fan was the highest commander of the Asian Alliance who returned from the doomsday!

If this old man really got angry, he'd dare to confront even deities with guns and cannons, let alone these foreign diplomats who only knew how to blabber?

Old Jin was also speechless, rubbing his face, finally relaxing his tone: "Ahem, don't be afraid, I didn't mean to scare you."

"I just want to say."

"If you have any questions, just ask, our Great Xia will definitely answer you. Why can't you just say it directly?"

With these words.

The scene became even more bizarre.

Old Jin was like a stern teacher trying to comfort students he had scared into tears...

For a moment, the citizens watching the live broadcast were in an uproar!

"Wow, he's even comforting them now!"

"I thought it was going to be a debate, but it looks like a kindergarten teacher coaxing children!"

"Even though I know the main event is later, it hasn't even started yet, and it's already this lively?"

"I can't take it, even though I know it's not the right occasion, I can't hold it in, hahaha!"

"Best skit of the year!"

And what left the audience even more speechless was.

Even after Old Jin's reassurance, those diplomats still didn't dare to be the first to speak.

Finally.

"Baka!" A voice came through the earpiece of a diplomat, it was Gui Tian, the leader of Gui Tian Country, scolding, "Are you going to disgrace our great Gui Tian Country like this?"

"Did you forget what I told you before?"

"Hurry, ask him a question, or you'll have to commit seppuku!"

Gui Tian Country's diplomat Pine Dog took a deep breath, facing Old Jin's gaze, finally stood up!

Before he could speak.

"Clap clap clap!"

A round of applause came.

Pine Dog looked up to see Old Jin looking at him encouragingly, clapping his hands!

For a moment, Pine Dog was confused... why did he feel like a kindergarten child answering a teacher's question!

"Not bad, not bad," Old Jin happily clapped his hands, "Finally someone asked a question, the rest of you who don't dare to speak, learn from this one!"

Pine Dog: "???"

This really turned into a kindergarten!

Are you the principal now? And you're even giving praise?

Pine Dog felt an immense sense of humiliation, but mustered the courage, gritting his teeth: "General Old Jin, please answer my question."

"Is Great Xia's conscription of fifty million this time intended to provoke international conflict?"

"Or to put it bluntly, is Great Xia preparing to go to war with us?"

This question was direct.

Straight to the point.

For a moment, all the diplomats looked at Old Jin, waiting for his answer.

All the domestic and international media reporters also focused on Old Jin.

At this moment.

The entire Blue Star, countless viewers, were all waiting for Old Jin's answer.

Waiting for Great Xia's answer!
