The changes in France and Germany filled Obama with deep concern. America's international status continued to decline, the hegemony of the US dollar had already become a relic of history, and petroleum resources were no longer as crucial as before. America had lost its leverage to control the world, and even its military operations had become cautious and hesitant, lacking the daring to act rashly.
Obama summoned Garnett to his side to discuss the current situation together. With a solemn expression, Garnett said: "The situation is becoming increasingly severe. Yanhuang State already has ten space fortresses soaring freely in the sky, while Huaxia Country possesses two hundred amphibious warships. Our hegemony no longer exists." Upon hearing this, Obama let out a long sigh: "The power behind Liu Ye'er far exceeds our imagination, and now Huaxia's military strength has also surpassed ours. We must pull ourselves together and catch up. Perhaps we can acknowledge that the solar system belongs to Yanhuang State, but we must strive to secure our own interests."
Frowning, Garnett said: "Liu Ye'er has a hardline attitude; we can neither acquire weapons nor find other effective means of threat." Pondering for a moment, Obama said helplessly: "Weapons may be out of the question, but in other aspects, we must fight with all our might and cannot afford to fail."
