146 Chapter 146: The Man Targeted By The World!

Zeke continued to work hard in his laboratory, trying to improve the energy consumption of the warp drives.

In the outside world, the Phoenix Kingdom's current situation has become more chaotic, and the impact of economic sanctions has reached the point where it can be described as bad.

Raw materials such as petroleum, iron ore, rubber, and non-ferrous metals are the necessities of the kingdom's development, and the demand must be met through imports.

However, due to the ever-expanding economic sanctions, the supply chain of all these raw materials has experienced a very serious problem of supply interruption, and countless raw material factories have to choose to stop work for this reason.

The kingdom originally wanted to ease this situation by trading raw materials with other small countries, at least until the day Zeke's atomiv bomb was announced... But these small countries, without exception, were all rejecting them at the behest of the world powers' request.

More factories closed, more companies declared bankruptcy, and more people took to the streets to become part of the protest team because of their unemployment... The heavy losses suffered by the kingdom at this time were almost impossible to calculate. It's comparable to decades ago during the war.

On the internet, the official voice against the kingdom is getting louder and louder, to the extent that it is too overwhelming to cover it up.

Forum's daily hot searches are almost all keywords related to Phoenix Kingdom or ZTech Zeke.

"It's been almost a month. What does the king eat?! Nothing can be solved! For the sake of the people, can't you bow your head once and confess to the world's powers?!"

"I suggest that the Phoenix Tree should be demolished, and ZTech should also be expelled from the kingdom, and the Iron Man and Super Soldiers should be separated... This way the world powers will not come to target us."

"The officials are really useless! So many companies close down every day, people who jump from the rooftops are almost in a row, but they can't do anything, and they know to say some big-sounding things every day! If you want me to say, this kind of kingdom should be overthrown earlier!"

"Phoenix Kingdom is too weak! Being bullied like this, it has no power to fight back! If I see that it has reached this point anyway, I'll just throw an original pop-up first and let those world powers see our kingdom's determination!"

"..."

Countless people vented their grievances on the internet, cursing and berating the king's official inaction.

However, they didn't know that the king and the elders, ministers, and nobles had all been made to sleep well every day by these things, and many people suffered from depression and anxiety.

"Elder Zeke still has no news? It's less than three days before his press conference starts, and no one has seen him yet."

"The economic situation of the kingdom has become worse and worse, more and more people are protesting and demonstrating on the streets... It has almost formed a wave, and it can't be stopped no matter what. Not only that, many countries have also begun to dispatch military weapons, Country J's warships have even reached the edge of our kingdom's territorial waters. The situation is unprecedentedly severe."

"These bastards are really abominable! They refuse to let go, and they don't even give a chance to reconcile. They are clearly forcing our kingdom to a dead end!"

"No... Even if we are going to die, we won't pull back! How can we say that we also have two original bombs and a hydrogen bomb, I have to let them know what it means to be dead!"

"..."

The elders and ministers were very agitated.

As the degree of economic blockade becomes more and more serious, Phoenix Kingdom's economy not only shows signs of a sharp recession, but even signs of regression in some provinces and cities... This is driving the kingdom to death.

"Grandpa Deron, is there any news from Zeke?"

Grace rubbed her aching temples and asked softly.

"There is no news yet."

Prime Minister Deron shook his head.

"What do you think of this crisis?"

Grace asked.

"As long as Elder Zeke comes forward, everything can be solved."

Prime Minister Deron nodded slightly.

"Do you believe in him that much?"

Grace glanced at him.

"I'm sure he's not one to give in."

Prime Minister Deron smiled slightly, "And I believe even more that he is not an obedient person."

"How do you say this?"

"The whole intention of the world powers to impose these sanctions on our kingdom is essentially to come to Elder Zeke. They want him to come forward and choose to surrender instead of the kingdom."

Prime Minister Deron said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, what these powerful countries want is not our kingdom, and it has no place for them to covet... What they really want are only those in Elder Zeke's hands. The technology of the world."

"From the beginning to the end, Elder Zeke is the goal of these world powers. But in order not to make their goals too obvious, they will choose this extreme and thankless way."

"But it turns out that this method is indeed very effective."

Grace's eyes flickered.

More than a dozen world powers, uniting so many small countries to carry out such huge economic sanctions, all to target one person?

If this is heard by others, it will inevitably be a little ridiculous.

But Grace was convinced.

She knew that if there was any other person in the world who was worthy of so much fanfare by many world powers and would spare no effort to deal with it, then this person must be Zeke.

Grace was a little dazed.

How ironic.

The man who was ridiculed as a waste by the kingdom, and even the whole world, has now become the target of the world's powers and spares no effort to get rid off.

Grace was able to clearly perceive that the distance between herself and Zeke had opened up a gap that was insurmountable like a scourge... She could only stand at this part of the gap, looking up at the light that was about a thousand feet.

Grace doesn't even have the qualifications to chase him.

"The kingdom's fate rests on him alone... I hope he can give us a miracle."

Grace let out a faint sigh.

...

Time turned, and three days passed quietly.

Today is the Phoenix Kingdom's big day, and it is also a time when people around the world are more active than paying attention to the general election of Country A.

Because today, the ZTech Press Conference, which has been widely publicized for a whole month, will finally be staged in the Central Conference Center of the Phoenix Kingdom.

Everyone wants to take a look. At this time, what else can Zeke bring out?

Even if he brings it out, how can he sell it?
