The other party chuckled, the laughter was insincere, full of the hypocritical deanor typical of a big shot in the national developnt strategy departnt.
"Oh, President Chi, I can't control so much about this matter! The location upstream and midstream of the East Pa River and West Pa River is in Changnan State, within Yunxi Province's territory according to the newest national map of Dongguo, which has been internationally recognized, you see!"
"On our country's rivers, we can't even decide our own developnt and use—what kind of Great Country would we be then? Are sovereignty and rights going to be dictated by your country of less than ten million? Spread this around, such an international joke would really break people's teeth laughing."
"As for your country's water usage and ecological protection, we have no right to interfere! Non-interference in other countries' affairs is always our diplomatic principle! Speaking a thousand tis, the elevator has to be built. Mr. President, do you understand my aning?"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Alright then, since Minister has put it this way, Chi Zhongshui has nothing more to say. Fine, we'll just find another way. Minister's conversation, I will relay unaltered to the Valle Republic's news network and corresponding international social dia accounts, as well as submit it to the UN Arbitration Division as evidence."
"Hey, President Chi, you can't… you can't…"
"Thank you, Minister, for the heartfelt phone contact, I've learned what the Great Country style is. I will think of another way, and hope one day you won't call personally asking for a favor."
"Hehe, President Chi, why would we co to ask you? But, don't escalate things to the UN, this matter can be further discussed and negotiated…"
"No more negotiating, take your ti to enjoy the Great Country style, I'm busy, won't delay your precious work ti, see you later!"
Having said this, Liu Zhizhong really hung up the phone, ignoring the other side altogether.
Resistant to both persuasion and coercion, thinking they're strong, let's see how I retaliate against you!
Imdiately, Liu Zhizhong arranged for the personnel on watch to start a public opinion bombardnt, putting Dongguo in a morally and environntally unjust position.
Within three days, the entire world was thoroughly aware.
Turns out Dongguo is so overbearing?
At the sa ti, the UN Arbitration Division released new tasks, with two major items directly tied to the Valle Republic.
The first is the territorial dispute between Valle Republic and Myanmar, which has been accepted.
The second is Valle Republic's protest arbitration against Dongguo's construction of a cascade power station within the upstream and midstream of East and West Pa Rivers in Changnan State.
No ntion of the forr, the latter already has relevant data released, including scientific experint reports, and work results of world-class hydropower environntal evaluation experts, along with videos.
In this way, Dongguo faces an extrely unfavorable situation, heavily criticized globally, a feeling that for a group who cares about reputation, is quite deadly.
So, active communication from Dongguo to Liu Zhizhong began. Unfortunately, regardless of which departnt of Dongguo big shots called, President Chi Zhongshui's mobile phone and landline were perpetually busy, one word: blocked. I want to get things done, to retaliate, so stop bothering . Tried talking nicely, you wouldn't comply; now I don't want to deal with you.
Unreachable through Chi Zhongshui, then contacting Valle Republic's departnts might work. Unfortunately, the related departnts were only polite, had no follow-up.
Dongguo's side, fuming with anger, the top-level was very irritable, even the leader summoned Valle Republic's ambassador to Dongguo, expressing ideas for active communication, and proposed reducing the hydropower stations to six.
However, the ambassador vowed to convey this intent, but whether Valle Republic would cease protesting is hard to say, since he couldn't decide.
Clearly, reducing ten stations to six, Dongguo truly made concessions.
Liu Zhizhong naturally received work briefings from Valle's foreign departnt but rely tossed a sneer, saying: "Reduced to six and you think that pacifies us? Sorry, at most two, one on the East Pa upstream, one on the West Pa upstream. If you don't agree, then continue protesting, retaliate! Tomorrow, Valle Republic's Ministry of Water Developnt will hold a news conference!"
Dongguo, upon gaining news, remained restrained. Just two stations? Ha, too far-fetched. Six stations, already showing rcy. If Valle Republic cos up with more formidable retaliation, we might cut to four stations, that's the bottom line, the dignity of a Great Country!
Honestly, Dongguo's bottom line was indeed four stations. Of course, the best dream was ten stations, which is now lost.
Thus, Dongguo no longer proactively contacted Valle, even replies to the ambassador were: Alright, got it.
Such simple words, indescribably aloof, right?
However, the following afternoon, Valle Republic's Ministry of Water Developnt held a press conference, that lit fire under Dongguo's seat, related big shots almost jumped up swearing.
At this conference, Valle's Minister of Water Developnt, an Egyptian appointnt, directly threw out the idea of a major irrigation canal in Wabei Province, upstream of the Maenam River, stating that Valle Republic's relevant departnts are actively researching this grand irrigation engineering, once the project is published and approved by the parliant, imdiate implentation is possible.
In presenting the main background of this water engineering, it directly pinpointed Dongguo's disregard for Great Country deanor, forcibly constructing clusters of hydropower stations upstream of East and West Pa Rivers, causing severe downstream living, production, and ecological impacts.
With Valle Republic protesting fruitlessly and possibly for a longer ti, such a last resort was chosen to open this irrigation canal and present a three-tier dam structure.
The reason: explaining to the world that we have no alternative, for living productivity and ecology, and for the happiness of the Valle People, at no cost, our governnt is the cost, not the people!
Outcos and latent issues: explaining to the world, should massive flood disasters occur, the irrigation canal would open flood gates in three phases, areas subrged by floodwaters could very well include parts of Yunxi Province's Changnan State in Dongguo. Facing natural disasters, helpless, also hoping East Country governnt can understand and accept. Moreover, Valle further stated, if scientific analyses deem necessary, Valle Republic would be willing to actively communicate destruction reverting with East Country governnt, seeking resolutions.
Such a press conference instantly beca headline news, the world was stunned.
International forces also took notice, Valle Republic might be small but possesses the courage and wisdom to strike back at a Great Country...
