Chapter 956
Deep Hostility
Therefore, Yang Xia didn't care about other people's attitudes at all, and continued to work hard to develop all aspects of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
With their joint efforts, I believe that the Great Zhou Kingdom will soon become a world power.
Moreover, this process will not be too long, and Yang Xia is very confident about this. However, the news caused a great uproar in other countries.
They could hardly believe it was all real.
The ruler of Moonlight Kingdom, Tanawu, has a shadow organization under his command that is responsible for monitoring the situation in the surrounding countries and reporting any unusual activity to him.
Yang Xia's actions, causing such a commotion, were quickly discovered by the Shadow Organization. Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, hurriedly found Tanawu and reported the current situation of the Great Zhou Kingdom to him.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Great Zhou Kingdom is currently preparing its troops and might be about to wage war against our Moonlight Kingdom."
"They have developed many advanced weapons, and their wolfish ambitions have been exposed. They are definitely targeting our Moonlight Kingdom. They also want to become the strongest country in this other world."
Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, embellished the story to Tanawu about the current situation in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Since the last military parade, these people have harbored deep hostility towards Yang Xia.
The fact that the tiny Great Zhou Kingdom dared to offend the ruler of the Moonlight Kingdom quickly spread throughout the Moonlight Kingdom. Everyone believed that the ruler of the Moonlight Kingdom would not let this go and would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate against the Great Zhou Kingdom.
They guessed correctly; Tanawu was looking for an opportunity to retaliate against the Great Zhou Kingdom and wanted to show them the power of the Moonlight Kingdom.
But before Tanawu could even make a move, Yang Xia himself was about to deliver himself to their doorstep.
In Tanawu's eyes, Yang Xia was a fool who didn't know his own mortality.
"I originally thought Yang Xia was just a little clever, but I didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing. No wonder I'm ruthless. I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Tanawu said these words through gritted teeth, preparing to launch a fierce revenge plan against Yang Xia.
Thinking back to the last National Day, when Yang Xia embarrassed him in front of so many national leaders, Tanawu gritted his teeth in hatred.
This time, Yang Xia delivered himself to their doorstep again. With both old and new grudges combined, Tanawu was ready to deliver a devastating blow to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Even if we don't completely destroy the Great Zhou Kingdom, we'll still severely damage it. Tanawu was very confident about this.
"Your Majesty is wise. People like Yang Xia should be dealt a devastating blow. It would be best to destroy the Great Zhou Kingdom and set an example for other countries."
Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, spoke through gritted teeth, wishing he could have Tanawu issue the order to attack the Great Zhou Kingdom right now.
Tanawu trusted the Shadow Organization very much, which made Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, feel that he was a very powerful figure in the Moonlight Kingdom, and he couldn't wait to make decisions in these areas.
"No rush. I want to thoroughly torment the Great Zhou Kingdom, making them wish they were dead. That's much more fun than simply annihilating the Great Zhou Kingdom with cannons."
Tanawu revealed an extremely sinister smile. He had already figured out how to deal with the Great Zhou Kingdom. Relying on the Moonlight Kingdom's dominant position in the other world, he could monopolize certain industries, preventing the Great Zhou Kingdom from developing at all. The only possible outcome would be its demise.
"Your Majesty is wise. I know Your Majesty has countless ways to deal with Yang Xia. Yang Xia is about to be in trouble and will suffer the consequences."
Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, revealed a sinister smile. He knew that Tanawu would use some extreme methods to deal with Yang Xia next.
Just as Tanawu said, he didn't want to destroy the Great Zhou Kingdom directly with guns and cannons. In his eyes, Yang Xia was always so insignificant, and he wouldn't stoop to such a major conflict.
With just a snap of his little finger, the Great Zhou Kingdom will face many unexpected predicaments and its demise will not be far off.
"You continue to keep an eye on the Great Zhou Kingdom's every move. We'll play along with them and see how the Great Zhou Kingdom gradually heads towards its demise."
"We also cannot let our guard down with other countries. Some countries are only superficially compliant, but their ambitions also exist."
After Tanawu gave some more instructions, Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, left with a bow and scrape.
He considered himself Tanawu's most trusted helper and was extremely proud of it. In reality, Tanawu saw him merely as a dog he had raised, someone he felt no affection for beyond using.
"Well done, Yang Xia! Now I'd like to see just how capable you are of challenging me!"
"You dared to embarrass me in front of so many people, now I'm going to make you pay a thousandfold."
Tanawu immediately summoned his personal guard and gave him some relevant orders, specifically targeting the oil of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Immediately announce to the world that the Great Zhou Kingdom is prohibited from exchanging oil for our Moonlight Coins."
Tanawu had them announce the order immediately, and then waited contentedly for the good news to arrive.
In his eyes, although Yang Xia had used a little cleverness to solve the oil supply problem, he would still face difficulties in the future.
This is the consequence of offending yourself.
The reason why Moonlight Kingdom has been able to maintain its dominant position in the other world is because its paper money is directly linked to its oil resources.
One Moonlight Coin could be exchanged for one liter of oil, so Tanawu directly ordered that the Great Zhou Kingdom's oil could not be exchanged for their Moonlight Coins.
In other words, the Great Zhou Kingdom would be unable to trade in this other world. Without Moonlight Coins, the Great Zhou Kingdom simply could not trade with other countries.
Naturally, it could not develop at all and could only be confined to the small Great Zhou Kingdom.
Tanawu's move was indeed particularly insidious; he wanted to strangle the Great Zhou Kingdom and prevent them from developing in the other world.
For a country, being unable to trade with any other country in the long run means something everyone understands – it's a very terrible thing.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The King of Moonlight Kingdom, Tanawu, has issued an order that our Great Zhou Kingdom is not allowed to exchange oil for Moonlight Coins. This blow is devastating to us."
Meng Yu hurriedly reported the news to Yang Xia. They were both very worried, as the Great Zhou might face some difficulties next.
If Yang Xia cannot overcome this predicament, the situation of the Great Zhou Kingdom will become quite difficult.
Tanawu's move was particularly insidious. On the surface, he didn't seem to use a single shot or cannon blast against the Great Zhou Kingdom, yet he dealt it a devastating blow, aiming to destroy it. Yang Xia, having arrived in this other world, didn't have a particularly detailed understanding of certain aspects. Seeing Meng Yu's panic, he began communicating with the system in his mind.
What are the consequences if the oil of the Great Zhou Kingdom cannot be exchanged for Moonlight Coins of the Moonlight Kingdom?
Yang Xia got straight to the point and asked the system about this issue. He wanted to understand the reasons behind it before he could come up with a solution.
The Moonlight Coins of the Moonlight Kingdom are very powerful in this other world. If the Great Zhou Kingdom cannot obtain Moonlight Coins, it will be unable to trade with any other country.
The system also pointed out the serious consequences of Tanawu's actions. Yang Xia finally understood, and anger welled up inside him.
"I knew long ago that the Moonlight Kingdom bullied others with their power, but I never expected their methods to be so insidious, leaving no way out for others."
Yang Xia slammed his hand on the table in anger, and a deep dent immediately appeared on the surface.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what should we do next? Tanawu is trying to drive our Great Zhou Kingdom to its doom without making a sound."
Although Meng Yu was also furious, he was more worried. This matter was no joke for the Great Zhou Kingdom; it could be a devastating blow if not handled carefully.
"Originally, we just wanted to develop the Great Zhou Kingdom peacefully and independently, but we didn't expect them to insist on being our shield. We can't blame anyone else for that."
Yang Xia's face was full of anger, but his eyes remained resolute. He would never submit to Tanawu; he certainly had a way to overcome this difficulty and would make the Great Zhou Kingdom stronger with each setback.
"Your Majesty, have you already thought of a plan for the next step?" Meng Yu was overjoyed to see Yang Xia like this. He knew that his king was omnipotent and that no problem could defeat him.
"I have my own way of doing things. I will immediately order a halt to oil production."
Yang Xia's face turned cold, and he immediately issued this order. Meng Yu was completely bewildered, not knowing what Yang Xia was going to do next.
On the surface, it seems that there are no other solutions but to stop oil production, which means that there is no way to exchange for Moonbow.
Meng Yu dared not say anything more and could only carry out Yang Xia's orders. The Great Zhou Kingdom indeed suspended oil production.
When the King of Moonlight Kingdom, Tanawu, learned of this news, he was extremely excited, believing that Yang Xia had been completely defeated by him and dared not produce oil.
Anyway, they can't exchange their oil for Moonlight Coins, and the Great Zhou Kingdom can't absorb that much oil either.
Previously, the Great Zhou Kingdom's ability to produce its own oil was a shocking fact to other countries. Now, forcing them to cease production is a major victory for Tanawu.
He smugly summoned Ruva, the king of the Ivory Kingdom, wanting to show off in front of him. The king of the Moonlight Kingdom was no ordinary ruler; no one could rival him.
"You see, Yang Xia of the Great Zhou Kingdom has been forced to stop producing oil."
"Yang Xia is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He has no sense of strategy whatsoever, yet he dares to challenge our Moonlight Kingdom. He deserves his bad luck."
Tanawu harshly belittled Yang Xia. Luwa chimed in, insisting that Moonlight Kingdom was the most powerful nation in the other world, and always would be.
"Yes, you know Yang Xia best. He's a guy who brought shame upon himself. Just wait and see how I manipulate the Great Zhou Kingdom until they're completely cornered."
Tanawu was extremely confident. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Great Zhou Kingdom couldn't take it anymore and would either surrender to him or bring about its own destruction.
"Of course. In the entire other world, anyone who dares to challenge the Moonlight Kingdom is courting death. This is what Yang Xia brought upon himself; he's just a guy who doesn't know his own limitations."
Luwa kept chiming in. The two of them talked back and forth, having a great time, making Yang Xia sound like he was worse than an animal.
Yang Xia had only temporarily stopped oil production, yet Tanawu and Ruwa were already so overjoyed, as if they could already foresee the demise of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
These two are typical villains, always hoping for the downfall of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but Yang Xia will not let them have their way.
Suspending oil production was merely a delaying tactic; Yang Xia naturally had his own methods.
Moreover, these oil resources are buried underground in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and no one can plunder them. Even if they haven't been extracted yet, they will always be a precious resource of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Since it's no longer possible to exchange oil for moonlight baht, there's certainly no need to extract the oil from underground.
Once all these issues are resolved, oil extraction in the Great Zhou Kingdom will continue as before, without any impact whatsoever.
Yang Xia also learned that many countries were not satisfied with the Moonbill system.
The Moonlight Kingdom is far too domineering, using such methods to control the freedom of trade among these countries in the other world.
If Tanawu turns against them and restricts the exchange of moonbow, it will be a devastating blow to these countries.
This system is extremely unequal. These nations in another world should all have a fair and just system.
The Moonlight Kingdom cannot be allowed to continue its tyrannical rule. Now that Yang Xia has arrived in this other world, he will take the lead in breaking this unfair system, and he believes that other countries will also actively respond.
After all, breaking this system would be very beneficial to other countries as well.
To achieve this, it is necessary to unite with the leaders of other countries to overthrow the unfair system of the Moonlight Kingdom and completely overturn such unequal treatment.
Now that I have just arrived in this other world, the leaders of other countries know nothing about me, let alone trust me.
If we want to unite with other countries to do something, we should probably start with Kanapan.
Through his own special methods, Kanapan has come to trust Yang Xia completely, and even idolizes him.
In Kanapan's eyes, Yang Xia was almost treated as a god, so he naturally stood by Yang Xia's side.
Yang Xia was quite confident about this. Therefore, he would start with Kanapan, getting the Kingdom of Phil to unite with the Great Zhou Kingdom to oppose the Moonlight Kingdom's unreasonable and tyrannical system.
Once other countries see their success, they will definitely be tempted, and things will become easier and easier.
Once such a positive atmosphere is established, Yang Xia believes that even more people will join in. If that time truly comes, the unfair system of the Moonlight Kingdom will completely crumble. (End of Chapter)
