Chapter 143 Dragon Might-class warships set sail!
The White Sea Strait.
The waves surged, and the billows constantly battered the hull of the warship.
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi stood on the deck of the warship that the Dragon Kingdom had traded for from the Bear Kingdom, negotiating arduously with the people from Turkey, his face full of anger.
"Does your country really not intend to make any concessions at all?"
"Warships from other countries can pass through normally, so why are you treating us differently?"
The more Senior Colonel Xu Zhi spoke, the angrier he became; he had just witnessed with his own eyes a warship from another country pass right under his nose!
The other party's warship had an even larger displacement than theirs!
This was clearly an intentional act of bullying the Dragon Kingdom!
Andrei, the person in charge for Turkey's maritime transport, sneered:
"We have our own regulations. We let whoever we want to pass, pass!"
"Besides, this sea route is ours! If you have an opinion, you don't have to take it!"
"We haven't stopped you from changing your route!"
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi gritted his teeth in hatred, but he was completely helpless!
This was the closest shipping lane to the Dragon Kingdom; if they changed to another route, it would not only delay them but also cost much more!
Seeing that Senior Colonel Xu Zhi remained silent, Andrei continued to sneer:
"We have already said what we needed to say to you!"
"Now, we are giving you one day to consider! If you agree to pay us a toll of one billion US dollars, I will let you pass!"
"If you don't agree, then pay us ten million US dollars and get lost!"
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi was stunned: "What is the logic behind ten million US dollars?"
Andrei snorted coldly: "It's a docking fee, of course!"
"Your two warships have been anchored for so long; don't they obstruct the shipping lane?"
"Don't they affect the passage of other maritime vessels?"
"Do you have any idea how much loss you have caused us?"
"Now, either pay us a daily docking fee of ten million US dollars, or we will detain your two warships and only let you leave after you have paid the money!"
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi was completely stunned!
Is Turkey actually preparing to start robbing people now?!!!
They had only been anchored for a few days, and they wanted a docking fee of ten million US dollars!
And why didn't they say anything beforehand? Why are they only saying it now?
It was clearly meant to swindle them!
And they even wanted to detain their warships!
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi was certain that the Eagle Nation must be pulling the strings behind this!
Otherwise, based on Turkey alone, they would never dare to take things to such an extreme!
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi clenched his fists in anger and warned:
"The patience of our Dragon Kingdom has its limits!"
"I guarantee that you will absolutely pay the price for this matter!"
Andrei was completely unconcerned by Senior Colonel Xu Zhi's words:
"If you have the capability, then bring it on!"
"See if we will be afraid!"
His subordinates also laughed along with him.
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi did not expect that, under the current international situation, their Dragon Kingdom would still encounter a situation like decades ago where they could be bullied by others!
This sense of humiliation lingered in his heart, unable to dissipate!
Meanwhile, the laughter of these people from Turkey grew louder and louder!
And just at this moment, the originally calm sea surface seemed to ripple slightly.
On the distant horizon, a trace of unusual movement caught everyone's attention.
At first, it was just a faint black shadow, as if it were a dark cloud on the surface of the sea.
But as time passed, the black shadow grew larger and clearer.
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi and the people from Turkey stopped their arguing involuntarily, their eyes fixed tightly on that mysterious black shadow.
Gradually, the black shadow revealed its true form.
Three giant warships, like three steel peaks, slowly rose from the horizon.
Their bodies were immensely massive, even more spectacular than aircraft carriers.
The sunlight shone on the warships' metal hulls, reflecting a dazzling light, as if they were chariots descended from the gods.
The bows of the warships were raised high, like sharp swords piercing directly into the clouds.
The various weapons and equipment on the hulls were clearly visible, exuding a chilling aura.
Especially those terrifying giant cannons, standing tall as if they could destroy the world; just one look at them made people shudder with fear, sending a chill down their spines.
The warships plowed through the waves, the spray they stirred up like white dragons, tossing and dancing on the sea surface.
As the warships drew closer, the atmosphere on the sea became increasingly tense.
The waves seemed to feel this powerful pressure as well, becoming even more turbulent.
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi gazed at those three giant warships, his clenched fists relaxing slightly!
A hint of a smile gradually appeared on his solemn face!
The flying red flag signaled everything!
It was the motherland's warships!
The motherland had taken action!!!
The people from Turkey were thoroughly frightened by this sudden scene.
They widened their eyes, looking at those three terrifying warships with faces full of terror.
Their originally arrogant aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by deep fear.
They never expected that the Dragon Kingdom would dispatch warships!
And such terrifying warships at that!
Even larger than aircraft carriers!
"The Dragon Kingdom's flag, these are their warships. They have taken action against us?!!!"
"What kind of warships are these? Why have we never seen them before? They are larger than aircraft carriers, and those muzzles—the caliber must be at least seven or eight meters! And three of them came at once?!!!"
"Damn it, didn't the Eagle Nation say the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't take action? Then what is going on here?"
Seeing the warships sent by his country, Senior Colonel Xu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but turn red!
Things are different now!
Last time they were bullied by Turkey, they endured it!
But this time, the country chose to take action, which made him feel quite vindicated!
"Mr. Andrei, the toll of one billion US dollars is truly a bit expensive. Why don't we negotiate properly again?"
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi spoke again!
But he received no response. He turned his head to look behind him and discovered that Andrei had already disappeared without a trace!
Senior Colonel Xu Zhi was a bit stunned!
What is going on?
Was he scared away???
...
On the other side, inside a well-known hotel in Turkey.
A commissioner from the Eagle Nation was fast asleep in his room at this moment!
He was the Eagle Nation's person in charge responsible for making things difficult for the Dragon Kingdom!
Just as he was sleeping soundly, a sudden, urgent phone ring woke him up!
"What? The Dragon Kingdom has dispatched warships?"
The Eagle Nation commissioner looked incredulous; he rubbed his sleepy eyes, thinking he had misheard.
But the urgent voice from the Turkish side forced him to believe the fact.
The Eagle Nation commissioner hurriedly climbed out of bed, rushed to the window, picked up his binoculars, and looked toward the sea.
When he saw those three terrifying warships, his mouth hung wide open, and he was too shocked to speak.
The massive bodies and powerful aura of those three warships made him feel an unprecedented pressure.
What shocked him the most were those muzzles that seemed like black holes!
He felt that one shot could wipe him out along with Turkey!
"This... how is this possible? How could the Dragon Kingdom have such powerful warships?"
The Eagle Nation commissioner muttered to himself.
He knew the situation had spiraled out of his control, so he hurriedly reported the matter to the Secretary of State.
On the other end of the line, the Secretary of State was also stunned.
"What kind of joke is this? The Dragon Kingdom has dispatched three terrifying warships larger than aircraft carriers?"
"That's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Secretary of State Jack's voice was filled with doubt and shock.
