329: Chapter 329 Did Africa Win?

"National Advisor... The opponent has an entire naval fleet. Can we... manage it?"

Watching the anxious battle on the sea, Lubisang and the others were extremely worried.

Chieftain Sam was right there beside them.

For such an important matter, he naturally had to be at the front lines.

Seeing the fierce chase that had already unfolded ahead, his brow was tightly furrowed, clearly showing extreme anxiety.

To be honest,

Chieftain Sam never intended to make an enemy of the Pretty Country from the start.

Because he knew how powerful the Pretty Country was.

However, all of this was Lin Heng's idea.

He also knew that Lin Heng certainly wouldn't gamble their entire Africa, and coupled with Lin Heng's previous performance, General Sam couldn't help but follow Lin Heng's advice and finally decide to take a gamble.

But...

Just as Lubisang said before, they only had one hastily assembled and modified warship, while the Pretty Country had an entire naval fleet!

Could they fight?

Fight my foot!

It was the first time he had ever heard that people who weren't even part of the auxiliary forces could fight the regular army!

Wasn't that nonsense!

At this moment, however, Lin Heng maintained a calm smile.

"You don't need to worry. I naturally have a sense of proportion... Moreover, I never intended to win from the very beginning."

A sense of proportion?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the warship on the sea being focused-fired upon, their mouths twitched in unison.

Good heavens!

That's it?

And he still claims to have a sense of proportion!

They didn't even know what this guy was thinking.

Wait!

And just at this moment, they suddenly realized something.

Earlier...

Lin Heng said he never planned to win?

At this time, Lin Heng continued speaking.

"You probably don't know what these people truly fear."

This...

Everyone was somewhat confused.

And they certainly didn't know how many resources the Pretty Country would lose once their naval fleet lost its threat to the Middle East.

That was something they absolutely could not accept.

So... even if it was an exchange, they might not have lost out.

...

This was definitely an exceptionally brutal battle.

The final price was that Africa lost one of its own warships.

However, the Pretty Country's losses were even more devastating!

Because the people of Africa knew from the beginning that they couldn't defeat the Pretty Country's naval fleet with just one warship.

Unless they were daydreaming.

Even so, they managed to trade for quite a few warships thanks to Lin Heng's Black Technology.

In the end, the warship modified by Lin Heng indeed sank to the bottom of the sea, but through its relentless efforts, it actually managed to sink two warships of the same class, and in its final moments, it even jettisoned all its equipment and rammed into the closest warship...

The result goes without saying.

One for three...

Even under such circumstances, achieving such a glorious record was moving and would even receive major coverage internationally!

Not to mention the two warships that were previously hit by intercontinental missiles!

The Pretty Country suffered heavy losses this time!

Except for the Pearl, a cruiser of the first-class battleship, which didn't suffer much damage, the other warships sustained considerable hits to varying degrees.

Initially, there were three warships, but by the time they returned, only seven were left... Not to mention that these seven warships were facing varying degrees of damage.

It was likely that the Pretty Country would have even less control over the situation in the Middle East next.

Previously, the Pretty Country's naval fleet had intended to cruise around the vicinity of the Middle East, but now... they hadn't been seen for half a month or more... they were quite mysterious!

And this phenomenon was keenly noticed by others.

They all looked somewhat surprised.

"Damn! What happened? Why haven't I seen the Pretty Country's naval fleet around lately? Weren't they often casually cruising in our waters before?"

A country in the Middle East.

Quite a few people showed such confusion.

The others at this time also had grim expressions, their looks complicated.

"Exactly. Without the visits from the US Soldiers, the business on our street has dropped by I don't know how much..."

"Several of our tenants are about to go under."

"Damn it! What on earth happened!"

"..."

People spoke one after another, discussing endlessly.

Some said the Pretty Country's fleet had gone through a battle and probably wouldn't be back for a while; others speculated they might have encountered a storm and were temporarily trapped at sea...

There was just no definite, reliable news.

And just at this moment, someone let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! You folks running the pleasure houses should hurry up and close down. They probably won't be back for a very long time."

Ah!?

As soon as these words came out, the others were quickly stunned.

Good heavens!

Their area was arguably the most profitable street in their entire country.

Why?

Purely because those US Soldiers came to patronize them!

You're saying those people won't be coming anymore? What does that mean?

"What exactly is going on?"

Everyone quickly became concerned.

This wasn't just their business; it was the business of their entire country!

They needed to know that almost everyone there was supported by those US Soldiers. If those people were gone, what would they eat?

Soon, the person who spoke earlier just sneered. He continued:

"Haha... You probably don't know yet? The reason they haven't come is entirely because they fought a battle in Africa and lost five warships, getting nearly crippled... I heard that when they returned, they also encountered a rare storm, so only four warships made it back."

"They are currently recuperating in Japan; why would they care about a small country like yours?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd gasped even harder.

Good heavens!?

Fought a war in Africa?

And they bloody lost??

Many people frowned, their expressions somewhat bitter.

What kind of place is Africa?

It's practically a primitive continent!

People in other countries have already entered modernization, yet the black brothers here are still living like they are in primitive tribes... Now you're telling them that these primitive people actually defeated the Pretty Country? They would only think the person speaking was completely insane!

And at this moment...

On the other side of the ocean,

A fleet was also deeply shocked.

Long Anyou and the others got off the ship, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings before them, their expressions quickly becoming complex.

You're telling me this is Africa?

If I didn't know, I'd think we'd arrived in the Americas!
