47: The Philippines is terrified!

Commander Zhao listened.

He immediately admired Lin Chen even more.

He patted his chest and guaranteed:

“Comrade Xiao Lin, don't worry!”

“With this divine weapon you've created for our navy!”

“If the Eagle Sauce Combined Fleet dares to cross the line, we will definitely blast their asses!”

“Exactly!” General Zhang echoed with a smile. “If Eagle Sauce dares to come, we dare to open fire!”

People always used to talk about strengthening the country through technology.

But today, he truly witnessed it!

In the face of powerful technology,

all threats are paper tigers.

Especially weapons capable of dimension-reducing strikes.

They are enough to overturn the course of a war.

Furthermore, Lin Chen's patriotism,

deeply moved the two generals.

They hadn't expected a young man like Lin Chen

to have a higher ideological awareness than themselves.

Li Jianguo, standing nearby, adjusted his reading glasses, his eyes slightly red.

He didn't say much, just heavily patted Lin Chen's back.

But the approval in his eyes carried more weight than any words:

“Good boy, you haven't disgraced our Xia Academy of Sciences!”

“That dilapidated warship should have been dealt with long ago!”

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the deck.

The soldiers on the type 055 destroyer

were still excitedly discussing the Laser Cannon.

They looked at the Laser Cannon, their eyes shining:

“Those few shots just now were really satisfying!”

“Hehe! Now I actually hope the Eagle Sauce Coalition Forces come to cause trouble again!”

“You bet! With this Laser Cannon in hand, when they arrive, we'll just blast their asses!”

The soldiers' voices were full of lingering excitement.

Everyone was looking forward to the next chance for battle.

Command Center.

“Commander Zhao, the test is over, we will return to the Xia Academy of Sciences now.”

Lin Chen checked the time and turned to speak.

He needed to go back and supervise the component processing for the Anti-gravity Plasma Engine.

“Alright! You go ahead and be busy!” Commander Zhao nodded quickly. “If you ever need our military region's cooperation, just say the word!”

He knew Lin Chen was busy.

So he didn't try to keep him.

“I'll escort you back,” General Zhang said with a smile.

Next,

Lin Chen said his goodbyes.

And left with General Zhang... Meanwhile.

In a certain sea area of the South China Sea.

A fishing boat from Fei Hou Country was secretly casting nets.

On the deck!

Several Filipino monkeys fishermen were smoking cigarettes and chatting arrogantly.

“The Great Xia Country patrol ship probably won't come today, right?”

“What's there to be afraid of? Great Xia Country patrol boats won't come this far!”

“Let's catch more fish, we can sell them for a lot of money when we get back!”

“Exactly! This is our maritime territory anyway, they can't control us!”

The Skinny Tall One fisherman.

even made a provocative gesture toward the direction of the Great Xia Country.

Their nets had already pulled up many protected fish species.

Suddenly!

The Skinny Tall One's companion pointed into the distance, his voice trembling: “Look over there! What is that?”

Everyone followed the direction he pointed.

They saw thick smoke billowing across the distant sea surface.

“Isn't that... the location of our country's dilapidated warship?”

Someone recognized the location and instantly panicked.

The dilapidated warship had been stationed in the South China Sea for over a decade.

They had long memorized its coordinates.

The Skinny Tall One quickly pulled out his phone and aimed it in that direction to record.

In the frame!

The dilapidated warship that was originally in that position had vanished.

Only thick smoke remained, drifting over the sea surface.

“Wh-what happened?”

“Why did it disappear?”

A fisherman's legs went weak, and he nearly fell down.

“It's Great Xia Country!”

“Great Xia Country must have done it!”

The Skinny Tall One's voice was trembling, and the hand holding the phone recording the video kept shaking.

“Run! Let's hurry and leave!”

Someone reacted, abandoning their fishing nets entirely.

They quickly started the boat and fled.

All their previous arrogance was gone.

Everyone's face was deathly pale.

The fishing boat sped away at full throttle, fleeing toward Fei Hou Country.

The Skinny Tall One gripped his phone, his heart still pounding wildly.

He looked at the vanished dilapidated warship in the video, feeling cold all over.

If they had left even a step later,

they probably would have ended up feeding the fish too... That afternoon.

The Presidential Palace of Fei Hou Country.

An official from the Fisheries Department,

rushed into the office holding a tablet computer.

“Mr. President! Something terrible has happened!”

“Our dilapidated warship in the South China Sea is gone!”

President Xiao Mas was eating lunch.

Hearing this, he spat out a mouthful of rice.

He stood up abruptly and snatched the tablet computer: “What did you say? Say it again!”

The official pointed at the video: “Look! This was filmed by fishermen. Where the dilapidated warship was, only white smoke remains!”

The President stared at the video, his eyes widening.

Only thick smoke was left in the frame.

But the dilapidated warship had vanished.

He watched it three times, and his hands began to tremble:

“Investigate! Go investigate immediately!”

“See if Great Xia Country did this?!”

Personnel from the Intelligence Department immediately launched an investigation at maximum speed.

Satellite images, fishermen's testimonies, and even secretly monitored radio signals were all aggregated.

A few hours later.

The Director of the Intelligence Department held the report.

and walked into the President's office with a solemn expression.

“Mr. President.”

“We haven't found specific information.”

“But we found that a certain sea area 1000 kilometers away from the dilapidated warship, in the Great Xia Country's South China Sea, was restricted from navigation today.”

“We suspect Great Xia Country was testing a naval weapon.”

“It really was Great Xia Country?” The President's face was terrifyingly grim.

Although there was no direct evidence,

it was definitely related to Great Xia Country's navigation restriction.

“Damn it!”

“How dare Great Xia Country do this?”

“Is it because Eagle Sauce is conducting Joint Military Exercises, and Great Xia Country wants to preemptively intimidate Eagle Sauce?”

“But why use our Fei Hou Country as the target?”

Xiao Mas paced around his office in anger, his face livid.

Although the dilapidated warship was old,

it was also the “symbol” of Fei Hou Country in the South China Sea.

Now that Great Xia Country had directly destroyed it, this was blatant provocation.

“Unacceptable!”

“I cannot tolerate this insult!”

The President stopped pacing and said through gritted teeth:

“Issue a public announcement immediately!”

“Publicly condemn Great Xia Country!”

“Say they are disrupting regional peace and demand compensation for the losses!”

“We must also unite with Eagle Sauce to pressure Great Xia Country!”

Soon!

Fei Hou Country's official announcement was released.

[Great Xia Country illegally destroyed our warship on our territory, severely violating international law!]

[We strongly condemn Great Xia Country's barbaric actions and demand immediate compensation!]

[If a satisfactory response is not provided, we will unite international forces and take action against Great Xia Country!]

As soon as the announcement was made,

Fei Hou Country netizens instantly exploded.

“fuck! Is Great Xia Country crazy?”

“How dare they? Dare to destroy our national property?”

“We must seek revenge! Revenge for our deceased countrymen.”

Some people cursed Great Xia Country online.

But more people were terrified!

“It's over. Great Xia Country even dared to touch the dilapidated warship. Will they start attacking us directly next?”

“No! From now on, when we go out to sea, we must stay far away from Great Xia Country's waters.”

“Exactly, Great Xia Country is serious this time.”

“I just hope that damned government doesn't make a mistake that drags us down!”

Great Xia Country even dared to blow up the dilapidated warship.

Doesn't that mean they could attack them at any time?

They had often crossed the border and caused various provocations before.

At most, Great Xia Country would spray them with water cannons.

But after this incident,

who knew if Great Xia Country would resort to direct military force?

Many Filipino monkeys were filled with worry.
