200: Major life events: registering! Getting married!

June 12th.

Two days had passed since the Dragon Country Air Force and the USA Sixth Fleet clashed in the Persian Gulf!

After that military standoff, all four Carrier Battle Groups of the Sixth Fleet withdrew from the Persian Gulf waters!

Currently, Dragon Country and Iraq oil tankers can travel unimpeded through the shipping lanes!

These four Carrier Battle Groups only inspected suspicious passing vessels to prevent weapons from being transported to Iraq, and no longer targeted oil tankers from any other country!

Everything in the Persian Gulf seemed to have become calm, returning to its usual tranquility!

But even now, when discussing the naval military standoff from two days prior, Persian Gulf littoral states like Shat Country, UAE, and Kuwait still broke out in cold sweats!

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the closest they, the Persian Gulf littoral states, had come to a large-scale war in recent years!

If that night Dragon Country and the USA had truly escalated from a military standoff to an all-out war, it was likely that medium and long-range ballistic missiles would already be flying and bombing their territories!

"Fortunately, both Dragon Country and the USA had their wins and losses, which is why this storm could be quelled so quickly!"

Prince Khalid, the Defense Minister of Shat Country, said with emotion.

Two days after the military standoff, the Minister of National Defenses of Shat Country, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and other Persian Gulf littoral states gathered again for a ministerial meeting.

The main topic of this meeting was how to maintain and stabilize regional peace and avoid a repeat of the situation from two days ago!

At the very least, they absolutely did not want the Persian Gulf to become a battlefield for Superpowers!

"Yes, the USA 'mistakenly shot down' one of the Dragon Country Air Force's most advanced third-and-a-half generation fighter jets!"

"And the Dragon Country Air Force successfully implemented 'electronic deception' tactics, throwing the Sixth Fleet into disarray and making them a laughingstock internationally!"

"With this back and forth, both sides are considered even..."

The Minister of National Defense of UAE let out a long sigh of relief and said to the other neighboring Minister of National Defenses.

But just as they were conversing, a piece of news made all of them stand up from the conference room, utterly shocked and horrified!

"What?"

"The 'Qianlong' Squadron, fully staffed with 12 fighter jets, stationed at the Dragon Country Air Force base in Iraq, performed escort missions over the Persian Gulf?"

"Not one more, not one less?"

Prince Khalid, the Defense Minister of Shat Country, was somewhat dumbfounded after suddenly hearing this news.

This was truly unbelievable!

Didn't the The White House issue an urgent diplomatic announcement claiming they had 'mistakenly shot down' a fighter jet?

Could it be that the 'mistakenly shot down' fighter jet wasn't Dragon Country's?

But then again, if it wasn't a Dragon Country fighter jet that was shot down, which country's could it have been?

Given the tense situation over the Persian Gulf at that time, would fighter jets from Shat Country, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and other countries dare to fly there and join the commotion?

"What's going on?"

The Minister of National Defenses of other countries were also bewildered, unable to understand the situation.

At that time, there were only fighter jets from two countries over the Persian Gulf, but now the Dragon Country Air Force's 'Qianlong' Squadron publicly flew, proving that it was not their own that was 'mistakenly shot down'!

Could it be that the USA 'mistakenly shot down' its own fighter jet?

If that were the case, then this would truly be a dark joke!

And how powerful would Dragon Country's electronic warfare aircraft have to be to guide the USA' missiles to attack the USA' own fighter jets?

This matter, just thinking about it, was terrifying!

Even the Minister of National Defenses of Shat Country, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and other Persian Gulf littoral states all felt it was impossible!

However, just as they were discussing this matter in the conference room, an urgent copy of the Soviet Union's "Pravda" was delivered to them:

"Superpower's Electronic Warfare Debacle: Sixth Fleet Shoots Down Its Own Aircraft"

[In the military standoff in the Persian Gulf, the USA Sixth Fleet suffered an epic electronic warfare debacle.

The Nimitz Carrier Battle Group was completely suppressed by Dragon Country's J-16D electronic warfare aircraft, and the missiles launched by its carrier-borne aircraft were electromagnetically deceived, mistakenly shooting down its own EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft.

During the salvage of the wreckage, a Soviet Union warship captured the comical scene of the USA Military frantically scraping off the aircraft's serial number.

This blunder exposed a fatal flaw in the USA' electronic warfare capabilities, making it a Global laughingstock.]

After quickly reading the contents of "Pravda," there was a sudden collective gasp in the entire conference room!

Especially the clear, high-definition photos of the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft wreckage published in the Soviet Union newspaper, which shocked Prince Khalid and others even more!

This... did the USA really mistakenly shoot down its own aircraft?

Such a ridiculous event completely overturned the perception of the Superpowers held by the gathered Middle Eastern Defense Ministers!

"This seems a bit off!"

The Defense Minister of Kuwait frowned deeply and then said.

"What's off?"

Prince Khalid, the Defense Minister of Shat Country, immediately asked.

"No wonder when you sought mediation from the Dragon Country Minister of National Defense, the Dragon Country Military repeatedly emphasized that they had no problems!"

"Since the Dragon Country Air Force suffered no losses at all, didn't we pay for 'medical expenses' for nothing?"

"Isn't Dragon Country ripping us off?"

"Is this right?"

The Minister of National Defense of Kuwait replied with a serious expression.

But upon hearing his words, Prince Khalid wished he could slap him directly!

How could the King of Kuwait choose such a foolish prince to be Minister of National Defense?

The Dragon Country Air Force even dared to shoot down the USA' electronic warfare aircraft, and you're saying this money was paid for nothing?

Let me ask you in return, if Dragon Country just asked you for 500 million US dollars for no reason, would you dare not give it?

If you dared not give it, Dragon Country wouldn't even need to get involved personally; Iraq and Saddam, as Dragon Country's little brothers, could flatten Kuwait!

He suddenly realized that this Minister of National Defense of Kuwait had a terrible strategic vision!

"This isn't right!"

"We bought too few Dragon Country equipment orders; we only placed a total of 2.5 billion US dollars in orders!"

"Regardless of what you do, our Shatt Royal Family is willing to add another 2 billion US dollars in arms orders ourselves!"

Prince Khalid of Shat Country said to everyone with firm eyes.

Because he had already realized that the Middle East was about to change!

The rise of Dragon Country, perhaps, was already unstoppable!

...USA, The White House.

When "Pravda" published the photo of the EA-6B wreckage on its front page, with the headline prominently stating "Superpower's Electronic Warfare Debacle: Sixth Fleet Shoots Down Its Own Aircraft," the The White House Oval Office was in dead silence.

The President's coffee cup smashed onto the carpet, and the brown liquid soaked into the fabric embroidered with the national emblem.

"Relieve Rear Admiral Jack Harrison, commander of the Nimitz Super Nuclear-Powered Carrier Battle Group, of all his duties, and have him return to the country immediately!"

"Also, have the Chief of Naval Operations come to see me at once!"

"And, inform CNN and other media newspapers that... that EA-6B crashed out of control while testing a new type of electronic decoy!"

The President of the United States said furiously.

Thinking of the scene two days ago when the The Kremlin's ruler urgently called him on the red phone to mediate, the President of the United States's face burned with discomfort!

This photo from "Pravda" was like a resounding slap in the face for the USA!

And Wall Street's capital market; who knows what kind of reaction it would have... Dragon Country.

Just as the International Community was shaken and discussing the USA' incident of mistakenly shooting down its own aircraft.

Peng Lin, however, stole half a day of leisure, taking Zhu Lin shopping at Wangfujing Department Store.

Inside the department store, Peng Lin and Zhu Lin walked side by side, weaving through the dazzling array of counters.

While strolling, Peng Lin stopped in front of a candy counter.

"It's not a holiday, why are you looking at these candies..."

Zhu Lin looked at Peng Lin and asked with a smile.

She had just received her salary two days ago and had asked Peng Lin to come to the department store to buy him some casual clothes.

But who knew Peng Lin would stop here and not move!

"Is your household registration certificate at home?"

Peng Lin did not answer Zhu Lin's words but continued to ask.

"Yes, why?"

Zhu Lin brushed her hair back, looking a little dazed, not understanding why Peng Lin suddenly asked that question.

"Register!"

"Get married!"

Peng Lin looked at her, his eyes firm, and said decisively!
