The Frost-Pted Republic's Breaking Point

  On Essex Isnd, at the GTB Headquarters, after today’s summit ended, Frost-Pted Republic spokesperson Liu Zhidong walked out of the meeting room with a gloomy expression. She felt that if she had spoken one more word with Tianhuan’s spokesperson Boyan Jun, her lungs would have exploded.

  She hurried back to the secure unications room and urgently shouted to the operator:

  "Get me through to Twin Star Pace, the President’s direct line. Something major has happened."

  In fact, the operator had been closely following the summit’s developments and immediately ected her to the President’s direct line.

  At that moment in the Frost-Pted Republic, President Medway Ostavaya was iing a newly structed reservoir. This woman, who ruled one of the four nations, was also the world’s most formidable female politi. Thanks to excellent maintenance, evehick blonde hair had trendy blue highlights.

  "Every worker who builds this reservoir is one of our Frost-Pted Republic's great heroihough you men may carry inal sin, you are in no way inferior to women. This reservoir will bee the new mother of Frost-Pted girls, nurturing eae to bee a new heroine, just like you. Many of you have sacrificed your youth and time for this project, especially the tireless female overseers who missed their daughters' birthdays and graduation ceremonies. How toug…"

  Medway's speech was in full swing. Most of the workers in the audience were men, so she had to work even harder to instill the idea of ‘female supremacy’ in them. , acc to her pn, the project’s female manager would deliver a speech, receiving her praise and encement.

  As for these male workers, although a few had died during the stru of the reservoir, it was nothing more than what they deserved.

  Out of respect, Medway would naturally shake hands with their female leaders, showiernal and care for women's rights.

  When the secretary handed her the phone, a trapatience appeared on Medway’s face, as this interruption had disrupted her schedule. She activated a backup pn, allowing Frost-Pted Prime Minister Zhu Yuliu to give the spee her stead. Surrounded by Law I guards, she boarded her presidential vehicle and took the call, responding irritably:

  "This is Medway. Make it quick."

  "Madam President, this is Liu Zhidong from the Ministry of Fn Affairs," Liu Zhidong said gravely. "The GTB summit has passed sans against us. Tianhuan, Zhengxu, and Red Arrow have announced a grain embargo against us, and the allocation of helium-3 energy has been reduced by seventeen pert..."

  "Oh."

  Medway was indifferent:

  "This was expected. It’s fine. Mobilize Law III and have the Dmaran sortium pressure the Red Arrow Empire. I don’t believe the old emperor hold out. The Dmarans are the pinnacle of political correess. Besides, we still have the Granth Republic to provide enough grain to get through this winter. By year, it’ll be Tianhuan and Zhengxu’s farmers who won’t be able to withstand the pressure."

  'This idiot! Does she even know what's really going on?'

  Liu Zhidong cursed inwardly but didn’t fet to ftter her verbally:

  "Madam President, your wisdom is unparalleled, but the situation is worse thaicipated."

  "Is that so?" President Medway found it amusing. "Then go ahead and speak. We have the invincible Law III, and the world is under trol."

  "The Granth Republic has erupted in a coup. The rebel alliance ‘Bermudas’ has already ehe capital," Liu Zhidong reminded her.

  "That’s no big deal; it’s just internal strife. The Grand Duke of Granth, Gamos, is amma-level powerhouse. Ordinary troops ’t stand against his strength."

  Medway shook her head:

  "What’s more important is that Tianhuan must be behind this coup—I’ll have Law III deal with it."

  "Madam President, that’s precisely the problem." Liu Zhidong’s face ale, aone was urgent: "Our Law III agents deployed in Granth have already been eliminated, and the heir apparent, Marlish, has been kidhis rebel force is different; they’ve formed a et, a gover, and an army, and have decred independence as the Granth Republi the iional stage."

  "The most critical point is… Red Arrow, Zhengxu, Tianhuan, and their subordiates have reized this nation. Tianhuan has officially severed ties with the Granth Republid established diplomatic retions with the Republic."

  "Now, with the outbreak of civil war, our embassy could very well bee a target."

  "I thought it was something serious. This is normal; deploy two airborne divisions and six mobile armors to the Frost-Granth border, and they’ll get the message."

  Medway felt pity for them. With her 20 years of experien office, she khat ial wars weren’t advaheir awareness and vision were low. Moreranth urely agricultural nation. If they dared to sever ties with Frost-Pted, they would immediately lose their biggest trade market.

  This was also why they propped up Grand Duke Gamos, especially as he was an immortal Gamma-level who only cared about easing his own pain. He was the perfect puppet, the only one who could tinuously exprain to Frost-Pted at extremely low prices. After passing through s and the hands of official family members, with media promotion, these grains were beled as anic, yielding enormous profits.

  In critical times, the stockpiled grain would give Frost-Pted the ability to lo prices, preventing too many people from starving due to inftion. As long as there was grain avaible for purchase, people would have hope to keep w, and they’d get through it.

  Liu Zhidong didn’t want to curse anymore. She felt pity for the President’s ignorand shhtedness as a politi. Madam Medway was a master of rhetorid demagoguery; she could advocate for maternal peace, maternal justice, and maternal unism, seg unwavering support from female voters who adored this fashionable, kind, ae female president. She could also swiftly eliminate her political enemies and rivals.

  But when it came to crucial matters, Medway was a plete disaster.

  Eically, Madam Medway had some sense; she knew she wasn’t good at it, so she hahe market over to experts for ma, at least avoiding major disasters.

  Militarily, due to her naive belief that Tianhuan wouldn’t attaother of the four nations, Frost-Pted’s military preparedness was always g. Despite Frost-Pted’s superior prosthetic teology, frontline soldiers were mostly equipped with civilian-grade prosthetics. When faced with the bloodthirsty Tianhuan warriors, they lost two secutive defetles, surrendering two forward cities.

  Medway then gave a tearful speech to the nation, moving female voters to tears. At the same time, she ordered her PR team to start w, spending heavily to promote her thriftiness and populism ihoritative media of Red Arrow, Zhengxu, and Tianhuan.

  For fn news, the cost of fabrication was a bit high, so the locals naturally believed that the other side would themselves for nothing. Many were swayed, leading to some eous statements:

  "She’s still a woman, after all, bearing the fate of six hundred million people on her frail shoulders. If the war was lost, it should be bmed on the inpetence of the male soldiers at the front, not the helpless female president sitting in the presidential pace!"

  Although in those two defetles, it was mostly the president’s loyal female soldiers who sacrificed themselves—eveianhuan warriors praised them as "a pack of fierce she-wolves"—the public still bmed the male soldiers.

  And because they lost the battles, no matter what the male soldiers said, it came across as excuses. Otlefield, they were chased aen by Tianhuan’s better-equipped and well-supplied regur army. Many soldiers, despite their ce to defend the nation, couldn’t bear the betrayal they faced upourning home. Some chose to take their own lives, while others ended up oreets, being gang members.

  The former Minister of Defense, David Lin, ushed onto the political stage of Twin Star Pace by desperate soldiers who saw him as a savior. However, his outstanding performance made Madam Medway wary, and she soon found an excuse to send him to Elf Isnd for detention.

  ——What crime could warraion in such a desote pce as Elf Isnd?

  David Lin’s disappearance caused high-ranking officials in Frost-Pted’s political circles to be on edge, too afraid to speak out.

  Liu Zhidohe same; she also feared beio Elf Isnd, which was said to be a living hell from whio one ever returned.

  But now, Liu Zhidong’s anger outweighed her fear. Over the past few days, she had borhe brunt of insults from representatives of tries worldwide, being called an anti-human, terrorist, and butcher. She couldn’t even lift her head, and her family was implicated as if she were responsible for those as. Even the domestic public felt she had disgraced the image of the Frost-Pted people.

  The root cause was this idiot president’s obsession with usireme measures to ge women’s status.
