Spy-x-War Showdown

Assassinating a country’s head of state and then hanging the body on the flagpole that symbolizes the nation’s power is a brutal, excessive, and Black Devil-like act.

However, Yang Yi found it somewhat incredible. He had seen the Ukrainian Parliament building and the Presidential Palace—there were flagpoles, but they were all positioned relatively inward. The difficulty of hanging someone on a flagpole wasn’t just great; it was tremendous.

Unless those Black Devils had gone mad, they would not risk their lives for an act that, aside from provocation, held no meaning.

The Ah Ming that Anton mentioned was not Uganda’s Ah Ming, but the President of Afghanistan, Ah Ming. In 1979, a Soviet colonel breached the Afghan presidential palace and shot President Ah Ming to death. But that’s just the official story—who knows if it was really the Black Devils who killed him and hung him on the flagpole, or even hung him there alive.

But at that time, the Soviet Union was at the height of its power, and Ah Ming’s death was a symbolic event of the invasion of Afghanistan, meaning the Black Devils had the backing of a superpower.

Now, the Soviet Union is gone, and the Black Devils are no longer the same as they were. Ukraine is not Afghanistan. Even if hanging someone on a flagpole is the ultimate proof of the Black Devils’ capability, would they dare to do it?

"Now that the Soviet Union is gone, the Black Devils have aged. They are working for Big Ivan, and even if Big Ivan is arrogant, he wouldn’t provoke an entire nation, would he? Would Big Ivan allow the Black Devils to do such a thing? Would the Black Devils dare to do it?"

Yang Yi expressed his skepticism, but Anton still looked confident. He looked at Yang Yi with a scornful smile, "Remove the word ’dare,’ and then tell me, who in this world can truly command the Black Devils? You only need to consider one thing—whether the Black Devils want to do it or not. If they want to, they will; if they don’t, they won’t."

Anton waved his hand confidently, saying, "It’s precisely because the Soviet Union has disintegrated and the Black Devils have lost their purpose that they will not pass up any opportunity to prove themselves, including the chance to hang someone on a flagpole. I’ve said it, several conditions need to be met to hang someone on a flagpole. When they finally come across someone who meets these conditions, how could they possibly give up! Also, a few aging Black Devils won’t miss this chance to reminisce about their former glory. So trust me, they will definitely hang Corkdor on the flagpole, right on the Presidential Palace flagpole that they’ve captured!"
