Rebirth in the Dragon Kingdom: The Strongest Blade

Chapter 109 Dragon Universe

The following day at the Dragon Kingdom Conference Center, there was only one topic: the new international order.

"Since the end of the war, forty-seven countries have proposed to relocate the United Nations headquarters to our country," the Foreign Minister reported. "They believe that the current United Nations is no longer suitable for the new international order and that a completely new and more equitable international organization needs to be established."

"Where to move to?"

"Most countries recommend... Beijing."

A commotion broke out in the conference room.

The relocation of the United Nations headquarters to China means that China will become a true center of the world.

"Furthermore," the Foreign Minister continued, "more than 130 countries have passed resolutions to designate the Chinese language as their first foreign language, making it compulsory from primary school onwards. It is expected that within five years, the Chinese language will become the new global lingua franca."

"So fast?"

"They weren't forced; they did it voluntarily," the Foreign Minister said with a wry smile. "Now the whole world knows—the future belongs to the Dragon Kingdom. Those who don't understand Dragon Kingdom culture are tantamount to being left behind by the times."

The meeting lasted three hours.

The final decision was made to accept the proposals of various countries to build a new headquarters for the "International Joint Organization" in Beijing. At the same time, China pledged to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining world peace and promoting common development.

"Comrade Lin Zhe," the commander looked at him, "this new era was forged by you. What are your thoughts?"

Lin Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I only hope that in this new era, there will be no more war, no more oppression, and no more inequality. The Dragon Kingdom becomes strong not so that it can bully others, but so that others will not bully us, nor will we bully others."

"Well said!" The commander nodded. "This is our new era's diplomatic policy—peaceful rise and common development."

Three months later, in the eastern suburbs of Beijing.

What was once farmland has now been transformed into a massive construction site. A new headquarters for an international organization will be built here, the design of which was personally approved by Lin Zhe—not a skyscraper, but a huge circular building, symbolizing equality; in the center is the flag of the Dragon Kingdom, surrounded by the flags of all member states, symbolizing unity.

Representatives from more than 100 countries attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

When Lin Zhe delivered his speech as a special guest, thunderous applause erupted—this time, it was a tribute from all over the world.

"Today, what we are laying the foundation for here is not just a building, but a new beginning." Lin Zhe's voice, transmitted through simultaneous interpretation, reached the ears of every delegate: "A peaceful beginning, a developmental beginning, a beginning where all nations treat each other as equals."

"The Dragon Kingdom promises: We will use our strength to safeguard this peace; our wisdom to promote this development; and our open-mindedness to embrace the world."

"Because this is the Dragon Kingdom—a nation with five thousand years of civilization, yet forever young; a people who once suffered humiliation but never gave up hope; a nation that is now powerful but still loves peace."

The applause lasted for a long time.

After the ceremony, representatives from many small countries gathered around and said in broken Chinese:

"General Lin... thank you... thank you China..."

"We...believe in the Dragon Kingdom..."

"The world... needs a dragon nation..."

The president of an African country grasped Lin Zhe's hand and said in broken Chinese, "General Lin... thank you... thank you China... for giving us hope..."

The prime minister of another Pacific island nation, his eyes red with tears, said, "In the past, small countries like ours were ignored internationally. Now... now China is willing to listen to us..."

Lin Zhe shook hands with each of them, his heart filled with emotion.

He recalled his past life, how much effort his country had put in to gain international recognition. He remembered the diplomats who argued vehemently at the United Nations, only to achieve little due to insufficient national power.

Now, everything has changed.

The world has begun to actively embrace China.

This is power.

This is dignity.

In the evening, Lin Zhe returned home.

Zhang Xueying held Siguo, who could already walk, and waited for him at the door.

"Daddy!" Siguo opened his little hands.

Lin Zhe picked up his son and kissed his little face: "Were you a good boy today?"

"Good boy/girl! Mom taught me to say... I am from the Dragon Kingdom... I am proud!"

Lin Zhe smiled and looked at his wife.

Zhang Xueying leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Today I took Siguo to the park, and many people recognized him, saying he's General Lin's son. They said... this child will definitely be a hero someday."

"Whether he's a hero or not isn't important," Lin Zhe said, looking at his son in his arms. "What's important is that he can live in a peaceful, powerful, and dignified country."

Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the lights of Beijing were gradually coming on.

This ancient capital, with its thousand-year history, is now the heart of the world.

And this country, under his protection, finally stood at the top of the world.

The regrets of the past life have been made up for in this life.

And there is still a long way to go in the future.

Space, the deep sea, the unknown...

But Lin Zhe believes that with him and hundreds of millions of Chinese people on the road, they will surely succeed.

Because this is the Dragon Kingdom.

A dragon has awakened and will forever soar through the heavens.
