Premier Li gazed affectionately at Liu Ye'er, speaking in a gentle tone: "Ye'er, I can tell that you've already mapped out a thorough action plan in your mind." Liu Ye'er responded with calm composure: "Premier, I've decided to accept the Americans' proposal and allow them to lease our Moon Base."
Premier Li nodded slightly, musing, "Hardship brings prosperity, while comfort breeds ruin. This move of yours certainly fosters a sense of urgency and awareness of potential dangers within us." Liu Ye'er nodded in agreement: "Indeed. As the status of the Huaxia people continues to rise day by day, some have started to grow complacent and arrogant. We need a strong rival, using competition to inspire us to keep progressing. Letting the Americans land on the moon sets up a challenge for us, spurring us to strive harder."
Premier Li said, "Ye'er, you are a heroine of the country." Liu Ye'er modestly replied, "Premier, although my proposal has taken shape, I know very well that it's hard to solve everything relying solely on my own strength. I propose holding a military and sports competition aimed at sparking everyone's potential and creativity through a comprehensive test of physical strength, intelligence, and military skills. The competition will be divided into three major sections: physical athletics, intellectual challenges, and military events."
