The Industrial Alliance's agricultural expansions succeeded remarkably, though only a portion was revealed publicly. Facing EU's negative publicity on the Asia Dollar, Myanmar's Chamber of Commerce extended discounts to foreign trade to stabilize confidence, while markets remained unshaken due to strict controls. The EU's sanctions on the African Agricultural Products Alliance for supporting Asia Dollar payments failed as alliances rerouted sales and global suppliers raised prices, rendering efforts futile by late August.

Myatum.

The truth emerges.

"Ah!"

Kan Qin gazed at the report, utterly perplexed. The fierce storm they had anticipated never materialized. Only a soft breeze drifted through, hardly disturbing a single leaf.

Indeed.

The aroma persisted.

But.

This round of pressure was endured successfully. Now, it proves even tougher for the West to undermine the Asia Dollar through uproar, since nobody's falling for it.

Everyone's simply munching on melons, enjoying the spectacle.

At this moment.

Thinking back to Ling’s unwavering composure, Kan Qin felt puzzled. Was it sheer confidence, or perhaps unseen efforts behind the scenes?

Otherwise.

All these events appear to ride on pure fortune.

...

Countries.

Witnessing these outcomes.

Found themselves mildly surprised.

"Not a bad strategy, yet aimed at the wrong target."

"Fools."

"Such tricks shine brightest in the initial half-month. But now, after more than a month, it’s clear this approach is ineffective."

"Facts confirm the Asia Dollar’s ascent is inevitable."

"..."

The Western backlash spanning over a month earned fierce contempt. See, all that clamor for so long, yet zero impact.

Like performing clowns.

They didn’t suffer any setbacks; in fact, the Asia Dollar’s footprint appears to have grown. As long as state-owned enterprises don’t ditch it, authorities see no cause to cut their stakes.

...

The outside world.

Was equally stunned by this maneuver.

What?

The drama’s all sliced up, and this is the reveal? Countless economic and finance experts boldly declared on television earlier:

---The Asia Dollar faces ruin.

Yet.

After such a long stretch.

Tell me, where’s the ruin? Not a strand of hair harmed, and it’s flourishing stronger. Plenty believed the European Union held genuine killer moves.

Who knew!

Just empty racket.

"I figured Europe cracked Transcription Fluid somehow, but after over a month, zilch, pure guesswork."

"Boring."

"Pointless."

"Smearing just to smear, total contempt. I could predict next year’s apocalypse too, all currencies turning to scrap."

"Tch!"

"Smearing via rumors, utterly shameless."

"..."

In an instant.

European media faced brutal backlash; routine news wouldn’t draw ire. But daily blasts, several times over, ending in nothing concrete.

Who wouldn’t lash out?

Tricking everyone?

...

The European Union.

Faced with this mess, felt deep shame. Their media shouldered the flak, yet other issues drew fire too.

Those hit hardest were the companies.

Folks stopped trading with you.

Orders slashed.

Tariffs imposed.

It turned into pointless self-consolation. New suppliers hiked costs for local firms along with tariffs, leaving many businesses furious.

Things were smooth sailing.

Why stir up chaos?

And sacrifice your own gains.

Unbearable.

Protest.

Complaints had to fly. Since they pushed these policies, they owed explanations. Outward obedience, inward curses.

...

On August’s final day.

"Thanks to widespread enterprise backing, nations’ stances on the Asia Dollar remain unchanged, and its payment share growth hasn’t slowed."

"On the contrary."

"It keeps surging forward."

"Research teams conclude that basic tactics can’t disrupt the Asia Dollar’s momentum anymore."

"Either."

"Break the Transcription Fluid."

"Or."

"Some crisis hits Myatum."

"..."

After the briefing.

Silence gripped the room; their high hopes for mudslinging fizzled out, sparking irritation. If development were possible, what fears would linger?

As for trouble in Myatum.

Ha!

Delusional much?

In most nations worldwide, sparking unrest is easy—fund opponents, rile the press.

Even dispatch agents to spark demos.

However.

In Myatum.

That fails utterly.

Ling had fortified it into an impregnable bastion, admired universally. Sending agitators for protests?

Impossible!

No takers. Lives are good, no idle agitators around. Massive projects ensure near-total jobs.

Properties owned.

Employment locked in.

And locals lack protest customs.

"The Asia Dollar’s stability rests on two pillars."

"One: unmatched goods. Two: Huaxia’s mid-tier products and construction aid. The first is untouchable; target the second?"

"How?"

"Force Huaxia to reject Asia Dollar for sales."

"Scram!"

"Terrible suggestion."

The moment it surfaced.

A key figure crushed it instantly, "Their trade thrives; why abandon it? Can you top their profits?"

"..."

Hearing that.

The proposer ducked his head.

At first.

It was merely to shatter the quiet, half-expecting rejection anyway. Anyone could dream up such a blunt ploy.

"Drop the old tactics; persisting just invites more mockery. Without swaying multinationals, it’s futile."

"No clue where those firms draw such boldness."

"I say, let’s quit. Clashing further harms us too. Our real priority: spending our cash freely."

"We don’t need that market slice."

"The Asia Dollar thrives."

"However."

"It won’t topple our dominance in high-tech goods. With must-have products globally, we stand firm."

"..."

In the end.

The European Union failed to devise a solid scheme against the Asia Dollar’s payment gains, opting to halt. A clear step back.

Reflecting on it.

All agreed pursuing shares and endless fights cost too much. Plus, their US ally stayed mute.

A lone performance.

Hard to pull off.

Simply put.

Unwilling to keep battling, so long as EU nations can flash cash for global buys, it’s okay. That’s Western currency’s vital stake.

For now.

The Asia Dollar nibbles at EU-external trade; firms claim Asia Dollar support but don’t shun Euros outright.

Thus.

No do-or-die war yet, no drawn blades. Should EU money fail to snag foreign goods.

Then.

It shifts from schemes to outright force.

...

Huaxia.

Shanghai Stock Market.

Tang Qing learned of the European Union’s fresh choice right away, as his influences steered it. Without that, their hubris.

Would likely push them to battle till the last.

However.

With a strong voice leading, and weight behind it, they must reassess positions, regain some sense—even if not ideal.

But barring core interest clashes, they can swallow it bitterly.
