Chapter 228 - 228 228 Interstellar Diplomat (Two in One)

?Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Interstellar Diplomat! (Two in One) Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Interstellar Diplomat! (Two in One) Within this tense atmosphere, another six months had passed…

The entire society had remained in a state of high tension, with remote negotiations, war mobilization, and weapons production. Everything had evolved from the initial chaos to a well-organized operation, with five hundred thousand people bursting forth with the greatest productivity in history!

The main theme of war had never changed, with work atmospheres inside the Earth Era Spaceship and on the ground industrial bases remaining oppressive, as if war could break out at any moment.

However, what common people didn’t know was that remote negotiations with Alien Civilizations had been ongoing…

For Wang Junpeng, it had been a particularly grueling half-year. The quality of life for everyone had started to decline sharply, almost reverting to the state during hibernation. Many production lines had been shifted to weapon development, forcing people into poverty once again…

Producing nuclear bombs by tightening one’s belt was not just lip service; it required physical effort and determination to persist despite the difficulty!

Wang Junpeng was even worse off. At least others had bought War Bonds, which was akin to having a future deposit with a bit of interest. Life now might be miserable, but there was still something to look forward to.

He was flat broke!

His speculative ventures had completely failed. He’d become penniless, his previous savings long spent, and he even owed money, although the amount wasn’t too large…

Especially under the surge of public sentiment, a few who had brazenly engaged in black market activities had been made examples of and had inexplicably been beaten up!

The government’s punishment for the assaulters was barely a slap on the wrist, a fine, and detention for ten days before release, which garnered applause from the public.

Online, there was even a “Heroic Beater” campaign launched, urging people to donate money to bail out those who had committed the assaults.

If the government could achieve a position of sufficient strength externally, then internal noise seemed insignificant.

The continuous development of new weapons equipment and daily news reports stimulated the hearts of people, enough to suppress the anti-war sentiment due to the reduced quality of life.

Now that they couldn’t defeat the enemy head-on, people needed a vent for their frustrations, naturally directing their anger at the profiteering merchants. Some believed that it was these hoarding merchants who had caused the current dire state of living standards…

At most, only a few experts symbolically stepped out to call for “proper legislative work” and “the prevention of violence with violence,” but that was merely lip service…

What comforted Wang Junpeng’s heart was that he had donated all the hoarded supplies ahead of time. He was not only spared from being beaten but also received praise, becoming a person of high morals.

At least he had whitewashed himself, which was the only piece of good news worthy of celebration.

He had regained lost friendships and even gained the admiration of a beautiful girl…
