Chapter 1227: Chapter 598: “Goblin” God’s Possession!

Within a 5-kilometer radius of the National Palace Square, all small buildings over three stories have been sealed off!

Residential areas?

Sealed as well.

However, each household is compensated with 1000 Riyals per day, though there are some complaints, relatively speaking, they are satisfied. Those operating hotels, cafes, etc., are not as lucky. Shut down when it’s time to shut down, cease business when it’s time to cease business.

Don’t want to listen?

You really think your head is made of titanium alloy?

If you want to make money in Mexico, you have to play the fool.

What is called authoritarianism?

This is it!

The birth of a strong government signifies absolute control of power. Like the party system, parliamentary system in Europe and America, they can’t even handle domestic extremist groups, so what else can they manage?

Here, after Victor finished speaking, British Defense Minister Malcolm Rifkind took the stage. He didn’t have Victor’s ability to speak off the cuff, so he took out his prepared script and looked up at the audience below.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the topic of my speech is ‘The Dual Campaign to Defend Human Dignity: On the Nobility of the Mission of Peace and the Anti-Drug Cause’!”

“When the smoke of history gradually dissipates in the mountains of Kosovo, when the sounds of gunfire in the African Great Lakes Region are replaced by the ink of peace agreements, we must remember more than ever: Peace is not a gift of fate, but a temple built by humans with reason and courage. As a former ruler responsible for national security, I deeply understand the value of armaments lies in protection rather than conquest. Just as Britain’s three centuries of rise and fall taught us—true power will ultimately serve the dialogue of civilization, not the conquest of barbarism.”

He paused and began to work his magic:

“However, when we look across the Atlantic at our allies, we cannot help but express deep concerns about certain contradictory phenomena. America, in its unipolar moment after the Cold War, should have become the beacon of global governance, yet it presents a bewildering duality on narcotics issues and social stability—on one hand, generously funding Colombia’s anti-drug operations in the 1980s, and on the other, allowing The Pentagon to brazenly traffic drugs in over 100 countries worldwide. This compromise of moral bottom lines is no different than sending ambiguous signals to criminal organizations—when marijuana shops in Colorado outnumber libraries, are we witnessing the slow decay of a great civilization’s spirit?”

“The United States is the dregs of human society! The tumor of the peaceful era! The most terrifying FXS since World War II!”

Malcolm Rifkind’s words caused quite a stir below.

Victor sat in the front row, listening to the speech, he laughed, and couldn’t help saying to his companions Goebbels and Kennedy, “It seems our British friends have been harboring dissatisfaction with the United States for quite some time.”

The two exchanged glances; once said, this friendship appears to be rather close.

“A coalition without America,” Victor said lightly, then smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more.

This is more of a “European and American losers” alliance than a defense ministers’ meeting.

The anger suppressed by America for so long burst out at this moment.

Malcolm Rifkind spoke for twenty minutes, five minutes less than Victor. This is what understanding means!

Afterwards, mainstream countries like Germany, France, and others went up to speak, while the smaller countries just listened below.

The luncheon was held in the National Palace’s reception hall.

All the European defense ministers who criticized Victor one or two years ago came, each holding a wine glass to greet him.

Vic, I am Little Fen.

Brother Wei, I am Little Norway, yes, indeed, Norway.

Victor still gave face, taking a light sip of wine each time a defense minister came over, showing due respect.

Small countries also know their own capabilities. Do you think everyone is as clueless about their status as Gambia?

After seeing off another defense minister who came to greet, Victor shook his head and said to those beside him, “When you are strong, indeed, everyone is a good person.”

“Power is like real estate, location is everything—the closer you are to the center, the more valuable your assets, and America is gradually becoming a suburb, with a piece of land called Mexico continuously appreciating in value. Is the center of the world far from us?”

Victor took a small sip of red wine.

Just as Kennedy was about to speak, he saw British Defense Minister Malcolm Rifkind approach, smiling, joking with Goebbels and Kennedy, “Gentlemen, may I borrow Supreme Leader Victor for a few minutes?”

The two looked at their leader.

Victor nodded slightly, and the two moved aside.

Malcolm Rifkind raised his glass and lightly clinked it with Victor’s, “Congratulations, Mr. Leader, from today on, Mexico has gotten everything it wanted.”

Surely there’s minimal willingness in these words. What is Britain?

A stirrer of trouble!

During the Napoleonic Wars, they united Russia, Prussia, and Austria to oppose France; before World War I and II, they united France and Russia to oppose Germany. If European countries united (like the Holy Alliance of Russia, Prussia, Austria in the 19th century), Britain would intrigue from the shadows (such as supporting Greek independence to weaken the Ottoman, inciting the Crimean War to split Russo-European relations).

Promoted the “India-Pakistan Partition,” utilizing religious conflicts to divide India, leading to the unresolved Kashmir conflict to this day.

During World War I, they used Arabs to resist the Ottoman, only to secretly carve up the Middle East with France after the war, signing the “Sykes-Picot Agreement,” arbitrarily drawing borders and planting the seeds of sectarian conflict (such as Iraq and Palestine issues).

Supported minorities against mainstream groups in Nigeria, Myanmar, Cyprus, etc., intensifying ethnic conflicts. Also repeatedly betrayed allies in history, such as the appeasement policy towards Czech at the start of World War II, conflicting with the United States during the Suez Crisis.
