As for why there's suddenly a change of heart now, it's naturally because the Beautiful Country is now looking like it's struggling to keep afloat. In order not to offend the Jieke Group, they had to make efforts to please Jieke Group.
A considerable number of countries have followed the Great British Empire in doing this. In Western Society, many countries here are traditional allies of the Beautiful Country.
The Beautiful Country, with 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups, roamed the oceans, its military bases spread globally. When its national power was at its peak, these allies and subordinates naturally complied and looked to the Beautiful Country for guidance.
But now that the Beautiful Country's invincible nuclear-powered carrier has been sunk, the illusion of these countries regarding the nuclear-powered carrier shattered. They no longer believe its military strength is unmatched, thus these allies and subordinates naturally develop second thoughts.
