Chapter 733: Chapter 312: Matters Afterwards Chapter 733: Chapter 312: Matters Afterwards Yan Fei ended the negotiations with Japan, Canada, and Australia in an unexpectedly proactive manner, letting these three countries off with minimal cost. As a result, the representatives of these countries left the negotiation venue with faces full of disbelief.
Watching the departing representatives of the three countries, a cold smile appeared on Yan Fei's lips. The reason he had raised a hand to these countries only to gently let them go was not because he had suddenly found his conscience, but because now was not the optimal time for revenge.
On the surface, Dream Island may have won a great victory in this decisive battle, but its strength had actually decreased significantly post-war compared to before the engagement, due to the destruction of their combat-power-defying Armed Artificial Whale by The United States of America. Not only that, but a mysterious Energy Weapon loomed in space above, constantly threatening the safety of Yan Fei and Dream Island. Furthermore, Duan Hongye, who had escaped, was never found, bringing immense pressure on Yan Fei.
So even though Yan Fei appeared victorious on the surface, the threats he faced in secret had not diminished in the slightest. A single misstep could capsize him in the gutter, exposing him to a counterattack. Although he intimidated his enemies with a display of false strength, using an Anti-submarine Artificial Whale with no combat power, the three countries had not lost their capability to continue fighting.
If Yan Fei sought to completely dispose of these three countries by escalating the terms of negotiation, he risked enraging them to the point where they would choose a fight to the death with Dream Island, a pyrrhic victory, which would not be favorable for Dream Island. It must be noted that these three countries held certain Missile attack capabilities, and if they launched a barrage of missiles at Dream Island, the Drone Avatar's anti-missile ability alone would certainly fail to intercept them all. Although Dream Island had several Electromagnetic cannons deployed, they would be inadequate against a swarm of incoming missiles, and some missiles would inevitably slip through.
Should missiles launched by these three countries successfully strike Dream Island, they would realize Dream Island's vulnerabilities and that it was not as formidable as they had imagined. At that point, Dream Island could face a fierce Missile Rain attack from them, losing the advantageous position it had previously held.
The economies of these three countries were advanced and key markets for the sales of Dream Technology Products. Should ties be irrevocably severed, Dream Technology would lose access to these markets, resulting in significant economic losses for Yan Fei. Moreover, due to the incident, these countries had developed deep-seated disputes and conflicts with The United States of America that were not quickly resolvable, which meant they could not continue to act as the enforcers for the U.S. Yan Fei had already marked the U.S. as his greatest enemy and was sure to confront them head-on in the future; naturally, he did not wish to push these three countries completely into the U.S. camp.
If Yan Fei persisted with a hard-line approach, launching daily Missile attacks on these three countries, the Drone Avatars would expend a substantial amount of Energy Points due to the long flight distances required to target Canada and Australia. Along with the need to reserve Energy Points every day for unforeseen circumstances, there would be no Energy Points left for product production in the mini-production workshop. Without the Production Workshop operating, Yan Fei would not be able to quickly rearm Dream Island, maintaining a weakened state.
It was after extensive contemplation that Yan Fei felt compelled to temporarily let these three countries off the hook. He would first secure their benefits, then save the combat-related Energy Points for more meaningful uses, quickly strengthening Dream Island's capabilities.
Only in this way could Dream Island recover its Strength in the shortest time possible. With sufficient strength, Yan Fei would have the confidence to face any challenge. Drones, despite their power, were high-end combat forces, to be used only in emergencies and with various limitations. Only the Weapons produced through the mini-production workshop could be fully controlled by Yan Fei; they were the foundation of his control over everything.
In fact, this move by Yan Fei also offered these three countries a chance to start anew. Should they act unwisely and, encouraged by the U.S., continue to oppose Dream Island, Yan Fei would target them first after regaining his strength. Only this time, Yan Fei would show no mercy, ensuring they received a lesson they would never forget.
The following morning, the representatives of the three countries took a cruise ship back to Shanghai, and upon returning to Shanghai Airport in China, they immediately boarded airplanes to return home. They presented the agreement for domestic review as swiftly as possible.
Upon realizing that Yan Fei had truly given them leeway, these countries heaved a sigh of relief, quickly signing and stamping the agreement, and sent their representatives through Shanghai again to Dream Island to deliver the agreement to Yan Fei. As soon as Yan Fei received the stamped agreement, the three countries promptly paid the economic compensations to the newly established Dream Bank on Dream Island.
With the money in the account, Dream Island, Japan, Canada, and Australia formally ended their state of war.
When exchanging the texts of the agreement with Yan Fei, a small divergence did occur. The negotiations were actually based on a “threat letter” sent out by the Pirate Organization that Yan Fei was impersonating, and essentially, the three countries were negotiating with the Pirate Organization, with the final outcome being the three countries capitulating to the Pirates.
