Chapter 2111 - 2111: 2111

On the issue of nuclear weapons, Liu Zhizhong once sought advice from his friend, Netanyahu.

Because the whole world knows that Israel is a nuclear country, but officially, it has not been acknowledged. Yet the threat posed by Israel remains immense.

Why does Ireland, a fervently religious theocratic political state, risk everything to develop nuclear weapons? It's because Israel has them, and Ireland has always wanted to eliminate Israel to become the dominant force in the Middle East.

As for Netanyahu, he enlightened Liu Zhizhong in a private setting.

He said: Nuclear weapons should be in the hands of countries in the sequence of civilized nations, which is one of the unstated rules of the world. The Wale Republic, as a developed and civilized country, can certainly engage in nuclear activities. You can do it quietly, and no one will bother you; even if others criticize you for possessing nuclear weapons, just don't officially admit it. At the same time, handle the political dynamics with several major global powers, and it will pass. While you work on the political aspect, pay attention to your commitments—not to violate nuclear non-proliferation treaties and not to be the first to actively use nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu's approach to countering rhetoric made Liu Zhizhong understand completely. Do it quietly, and no one will bother you, as long as you don't misuse it!

Of course, Israel did not say it would provide nuclear technology to the Wale Republic, and Liu Zhizhong did not express the need for such provision. Because Israel is officially a non-nuclear country, how can they offer technology? Haha, this is about playing the rules smoothly.

Nevertheless, Netanyahu also mentioned to Liu Zhizhong that from the perspective of global strategic stability, Wale possessing nuclear capabilities might not be a bad thing. He spoke mysteriously and meaningfully, and Liu Zhizhong understood instantly.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong felt that the Wale Republic is fully capable of possessing nuclear capabilities, and was secretly quite pleased! After all, as a globally responsible power, Wale's geographical position and surrounding political factors mean that once it possesses nuclear capabilities, there will be a stable shift in the global pattern, isn't that delightful? Isn't this what the international community hopes to see?

Naturally, Liu Zhizhong couldn't openly and grandly develop nuclear capabilities, but could only do it quietly. Once everything is done, no one can deny it.

Let me put it this way, nuclear weapons, this destructive thing, truly cause catastrophic harm to humanity. It's not about whether you can hit precisely, but rather that if you don't hit accurately, the damage is huge; even if you do hit accurately, the damage is immense. Mainly because of nuclear radiation, that's what's truly terrifying.

Let me give you a vivid example that no one can object to!

That foolish crazy dog, General Fatty Pig from Beicao Pot, does he have nuclear weapons?

Yes!

Do you think his nuclear bombs can reach Nancao Pot and the surrounding areas?

Very unlikely!

He can't hit, but there's a threat, what if he detonates it on the spot?

This would cause large-scale humanitarian casualties, with the affected being Beicao Pot's civilians, and in vast numbers. Do you think the international community and existing civilized laws would allow it?

Civilians should always be strictly protected! Even though... haha... right?

At the same time, if he detonates it on the spot, the spread of nuclear contamination would affect neighboring countries, causing dire consequences, alas...

So, sometimes General Fatty Pig of Beicao throws tantrums, makes a fuss, asking for money and food, and actually gets his way. Mainly because: he possesses unreliable nuclear weapons!

Liu Zhizhong, of course, cannot take the Wale Republic internationally like a beggar, wielding the nuclear stick to threaten others everywhere!

The pursuit is for civilized nuclear capabilities, scientific nuclear capabilities, high-end nuclear capabilities, and the rightful exercise of nuclear deterrence rights.

So, Liu Zhizhong set his sights on Little Japan, visited Da Fudao Island Nuclear Power Plant, and discussed nuclear power technology with relevant departments in Little Japan, particularly the possibility of nuclear power construction in the Wale Republic, and offered an olive branch for investment in projects.

In response, driven by business principles, Little Japan naturally reacted positively, almost immediately agreeing to the project.

Nevertheless, Little Japan is also quite cautious these days, so they need to conduct self-verification first and inspect the site in Wale before making a final decision.

Having suffered lessons from history, Little Japan is truly cautious and prudent. Don't imagine them as arrogant and evil, as a country that has been beaten in war, they will have after-effects and shadows.

Liu Zhizhong also greatly appreciates this cautiousness and learned something from Little Japan.

Subsequently, Liu Zhizhong successfully signed a memo on nuclear power development with Little Japan's nuclear power company, not binding as an agreement, but serving as a guarantee for future priority signing.

The release of this memo to the world indeed had Liu Zhitong's intentions.

How should I put it?

First, test the global reaction to see if it aligns with the projections?

Indeed, upon release, it caused a global uproar.

However, the major countries didn't really have significant reactions, stating that Wale has the economic and technological strength to introduce and master nuclear power technology, pursuing higher levels of clean energy is a test of human technological progress, worthy of support and congratulations, and related stocks even rose, can you believe it?

The main upheaval, of course, was from Great East Pot and some surrounding countries, attacking and smearing as expected, thus it began.

Experts from Great East Pot stated that the Wale Republic and Little Japan are colluding, preparing to develop nuclear capabilities, further becoming a threat to regional safety and stability, like a devil.

Great East Pot's foreign ministry spokesperson also solemnly stated: We hope some countries could pull back from the brink, not lifting stones only to drop them on their own feet, bringing obstacles to regional peace and stability. This is not humanity's common pursuit, nor does it fit the mainstream of civilized world development, and so on.

These statements are old talking points and served no real purpose. The key point is that not long after, Wale Republic's energy ministry announced that they have reached a new agreement with Great East Pot's National Energy Bureau, reducing the cost of purchasing electricity by 1.5 percentage points.

Haha, did Great East Pot admit defeat?

Clearly, they did!

The annual loss of nearly a billion US dollars in electricity price reductions to win back the Wale Republic, to prevent it from developing nuclear power technology, isn't it?

However, they underestimated Liu Zhizhong's political wisdom, haha...

Liu Zhizhong secured the benefits of reduced electricity prices for Wale, while still quietly preparing for nuclear technology acquisition, this is unstoppable.

On the second last day of visiting Little Japan, Liu Zhizhong received a personal invitation from Hengtian Poma for a dinner at the famous Mount Fuji Hot Spring Villa to deepen their friendship.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong accepted the invitation, but didn't expect this invitation to be quite significant...
