Chapter 908: Peace Alliance
Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu's expressions both changed.
Li Xuanyu naturally also knew about the situation of the various forces within the Hidden Sect, having heard of the Ji Family and Zhang Family. She knew that these two families were among the Eight Great Forces within the Hidden Sect. Though the overall strength of these two families couldn't match the other large aristocratic families, they were still quite impressive.
If these two families simultaneously settled in Korea and maintained close contact with the Divine Continent, keeping Korea secure wouldn't be a problem.
However, in the long run, Korea would inevitably gain two superpowers. Over time, these superpowers might gradually replace Korea's original chaebol families, becoming the new dominators.
Li Xuanyu could already foresee the future of Korea.
She looked at Qin Yanyang with resentment and said, "You're really calculating."
Qin Yanyang did not refute, and calmly replied, "If you can come up with a better method yourselves, I'm willing to listen."
Li Xuanyu was speechless.
Indeed.
If there were any other way, why would she need to seek Qin Yanyang's help?
However, the thought of Yanhuang Nation's people slowly rooting in Korean territory and eventually replacing them—it was out of the question!
Even if Korea is ultimately assimilated by the Divine Continent, the ones controlling Korea must definitely be of the Li Family's bloodline.
She silently glanced at Yang Fei, already having her own plans in mind, and said, "What do you intend to do?"
Qin Yanyang said, "You've agreed?"
Li Xuanyu replied, "Hmph, do I have a choice? I'm dependent on others now and can only follow your arrangements."
Qin Yanyang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Currently, Korea hasn't been truly conquered. The strength from the Penglai Realm has merely supported some new forces in Korea, so nominally, it hasn't truly occupied Korea. If you old aristocrats of Korea want to regain control of this country, you need to gain worldwide recognition in name. How to create momentum, how to appeal to the world, fabricating your forced escape from Korea, lamenting the various sins of the Penglai Realm—you're quite familiar with this, aren't you?"
Li Xuanyu snorted, "We can handle creating public opinion, but what I need to know now is how you will help us restore our country. I don't want to see the discussions spread widely only to have no concrete actions, leaving our Korea Conglomerate to become a global joke."
"Rest assured, as long as your public opinion gains the upper hand, the Divine Continent will support you in returning to your country under the premise of maintaining world peace and through an anti-invasion bill," Qin Yanyang said firmly.
"But your actions must be swift, the sooner you gain global recognition, the better."
Li Xuanyu frowned slightly, unsure why Qin Yanyang was suddenly so eager.
However, for their old Korea Conglomerate, this was a tremendous opportunity.
Being dependent on others could never compare to the freedom and comfort of returning home.
Although there would be threats from the Zhang Family and Ji Family by then, previously they had the Federation looming over them anyway.
Just as Qin Yanyang mentioned, she only hoped that the Zhang Family and Ji Family from the Hidden Sect would act with some dignity, providing Korean citizens with more respect and freedom than being enslaved by soldiers.
"Is there room for negotiation regarding the genetic liquid medicine?" Li Xuanyu asked Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "As long as the production is sufficient, the genetic liquid medicine will be supplied globally, as it's for the benefit of all humanity. Our Divine Continent, as a great nation, prioritizes its people and definitely won't keep it to ourselves."
Li Xuanyu said, "I don't care about other countries, but for Korea's share, I need a guarantee from you."
Qin Yanyang smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, once you successfully restore your country, Korea will begin receiving a certain quota of genetic liquid medicine supplies."
"Great, looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!" Li Xuanyu extended her hand.
Qin Yanyang shook hands with her, "Pleasant cooperation."
Li Xuanyu did not linger at Yunwu Mountain's Base; after negotiating with Qin Yanyang, she hurriedly left.
When she boarded the plane, she was already making calls to the various aristocratic families of the Korea Conglomerate.
Then, overwhelming public opinion began to spread globally.
Though Heaven controlled the Western countries and exercised strict control over such opinions, the old Korea Conglomerate held terrifying global influence. Various new media channels capable of spreading information were mobilized to circulate messages about Korea's invasion and colonization by Japan, the exploitation and oppression of Korean people, their suffering, and being ruthlessly slaughtered.
Subsequently, these messages continued to gain traction.
Japan quickly received the news, seeing countries worldwide overwhelmingly condemning them, once again labeling them as Nazis. The high-ranking power of the Penglai Realm expressed fury and questioned Heaven for not helping block these news.
Heaven was also at a loss.
Because Korea wasn't only condemning Japan's enslavement of them, they even spoke of some suffering experiences from the Federation's garrison period.
They had long reached an alliance agreement with the Penglai Realm and initially helped suppress these messages.
But they soon discovered a mysterious force had infiltrated, breaking their blockade of media opinions, gradually revealing the truth, and globally spreading Korea's momentum.
Soon, Heaven and the high ranks of the Penglai Realm figured out who that mysterious force was.
The damn Dove Faction.
And the formidable Divine Continent.
It turned out that over the years, not only had the Divine Continent's strength been elevated to stun the world, but it had quietly established a global presence, with intelligence networks pervading all places.
Additionally, the Divine Continent had always promoted pacifism, which fostered excellent relations with the Dove Faction globally.
Now, the global situation was a confrontation between the Hawks and Dove Faction. Therefore, regarding Korea's circumstance, the Dove Faction immediately stood up to bolster the effort, promoting peace and opposing colonization and enslavement. Thе mоst up-tо-dаtе vеrsiоn is оn М(VLЕМРY)R.
Soon, global public opinion took a decidedly one-sided turn.
Countries began witnessing anti-war, anti-colonization demonstrations.
Koreans overseas waved flags, lamenting the blood and tears of Japan's invasion.
Days later, the condemnation of the Penglai Realm's 21st-century warfare invasion reached a peak.
However, Heaven and the Penglai Realm soon cooled down after their initial anger and slight panic.
They watched coldly as the criticism grew increasingly intense, yet said nothing with a smirk.
But it's pointless.
No matter what you achieve through public opinion, what does it accomplish?
The world always remains unchanged—strength rules.
Will public opinion cause the Penglai Realm's strongmen to quietly withdraw from Korea?
Dream on.
Moreover, Japan hasn't directly occupied Korea; Korea's current president is still a Korean. You say restoration?
Ha, restoring the nation of your old chaebol families?
Who dictates that Korea is solely your old conglomerate families' country, and can't be the country of the new president and new citizens?
However, just as Heaven and the Penglai Realm secretly enjoyed the spectacle, as the opinion continued fermenting, a week later, the Divine Continent made a public statement.
"Support Korea in defending sovereignty!"
With this announcement, the news quickly spread globally, once again casting Japan's crimes into the limelight.
But this wasn't the end. In less than half an hour, the Divine Continent issued another statement.
"The Divine Continent will establish an Asian Peace Alliance with Korea to defend each country's sovereignty and oppose colonization and war."
This information was widely shared globally, reaching peak popularity when the Divine Continent issued a third statement.
"Joint military exercise, escorting the international friendly team back home!"
