Chapter 954 - 954 Shocking the Whole World
954 Shocking the Whole World
Everyone turned to Third Master Lu.
Third Master Lu was puzzled by their gazes. “Did I say anything wrong? If we don’t display our strength in front of them, they would think that we are afraid of them.”
Second Master Lu furrowed his brow and said, “Don’t continue speaking.”
“Why should I stop speaking? Did I say anything wrong?”!!
“Country A dispatched their warships. We are indeed able to intercept one or two guided missiles, but what if they fire multiple shots in one go? How are you planning to intercept them?”
Third Master Lu opened his mouth. He wanted to say that since the intercepting device Zi Yi had previously built was so powerful, he did not believe that they were incapable of intercepting dozens or more missiles.
Just then, he sensed the Marshal’s disapproving gaze in his direction.
He could only swallow his unfinished words and ask, “If we don’t intercept the missiles, are we going to let them attack us as they please?”
“We won’t let them attack us as they please, that’s for sure.” One of the leaders thought for a moment and said to the Marshal, “Why don’t we take out our secret weapon too and stall them first? Once a fight really breaks out, there would be severe consequences. I believe Country A wouldn’t really launch an attack on us for real unless they don’t plan on living on Earth in the future.”
What he said was indeed true.
Everyone agreed with his point of view.
“Even though they would not really engage in a serious fight with us, what if they do some underhanded tricks to taunt us? If we don’t retaliate, wouldn’t it reflect badly on us, as others would think that we are afraid?” Third Master Lu still had differing views.
Mr. Qin agreed on this point. “It’s definitely impossible that this will escalate to a real fight, but they will certainly come and taunt us. Moreover, the military in Country A is equipped with cutting-edge technology equipment. We won’t react to their superficial taunting, but they will definitely do some underhanded tricks.
The group of leaders in the conference room fell into deep thought.
A few seconds later, the Marshal finally spoke out. “In that case, we shall send our men who excel in this field to confront them. We must buy time for Little Zi.”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. However, a question came along.
“Who should we send out as the commander?”
Since the opponent will be using cutting-edge military equipment, they had to find a talent that excelled in this field.
China did not have many talents in this field.
“Immediately call for the talents from the northwest military base and get Li Cheng to assume the position of the commander.”
The order was passed down.
Three hours later, five individuals came from the northwest military base.
The five individuals were called over by the Marshal and after a thirty minute discussion, they set off right away.
This time round, Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu also headed to Haicheng together.
“I didn’t expect the Marshal to call along Nangong Yu too.” Third Master Lu looked at the five individuals who were currently in a discussion and he lamented. “Sure enough, the Nangong Family produces talents. I believe Nangong Yu is only 23, right? To think that he’s already so capable.”
Second Master Lu glanced in his direction. He knew that Third Master Lu had thought of Lu Ming and so, he said, “Little Ming is pretty good too. You shouldn’t constantly compare your child with someone else’s.”
Third Master Lu felt his heart sink. “I rather you had not tried to comfort me. I feel even worse now.”
Second Master Lu shut his mouth and kept quiet.
Third Master Lu was not the type of person who would constantly harp on a topic either. He did not feel that his child was unable to compare to someone else’s. In the end, the topic ended just like that and he said, “China has never fought in a high-tech war before. Second Brother, do you think we will be able to win against Country A?”
In fact, Second Master Lu was rather worried about this.
…
Similar to what the higher ups of China had discussed, Country A did not really attack them on the surface. They only parked their aircraft carrier outside their borders.
Precisely because of this, it made other people feel their provocation.
On the other hand, a technology war was underway.
Powerful sonic waves were being used to disrupt the enemy carrier’s main control program.
In addition, they were also hacking the other party’s program to tamper with the data.
Another seven to eight hours passed by from the start of the confrontation.
Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu saw that the five individuals were all seated in the control room without eating or drinking anything. They started to feel worried.
“Second Brother. Say, what’s the current situation? I went to take a look earlier and their expressions don’t seem to be good. Are they going to fail in defending?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Second Master Lu was itching to sew Third Master Lu’s mouth shut right now. He did not wish to listen to such inauspicious words.
Third Master Lu felt anxious deep down inside. The more he was not allowed to speak out, the more anxious he got. In the end, he said, “If we fail to defend their attacks, what would be the most severe consequence?”
Second Master Lu finally got angry and yelled at him, “The worst case scenario is that our fleet would get blown up. Can you stop talking about this? You should stop mentioning such inauspicious words.”
Third Master Lu was frightened at the thought of the fleet getting blown up.
He swallowed his saliva with great difficulty and subconsciously said, “Can Li Cheng and the rest really defend against their attacks?”
PA!
“Ouch! Why did you hit me?” Third Master Lu had his head slapped and he looked at Second Master Lu in confusion.
Second Master Lu pointed at his nose and scolded him. “Are you a pig? Do you not understand me when I said to stop bringing up such an inauspicious topic?”
Third Master Lu saw that Second Master Lu was really furious and he hastily kept his mouth shut.
…
When Nangong Yu and the other four individuals had defended against Country A’s attack for ten hours, they had finally reached their limit.
“What should we do? We are unable to hold on any longer.”
“We must defend even if we are unable to. The higher ups gave us a time limit of 24 hours.”
“Country A is too strong in this area.”
Li Cheng turned to look at Nangong Yu and asked, “Nangong, can you hold on?”
Nangong Yu was the youngest among them and this was also his first time experiencing such a battle. Li Cheng was worried that he was unable to hold on.
“I’m fine.” From the start when Nangong Yu sat here together with the rest, he felt that he was walking on a tightrope. Whenever Country A launched an attack, he felt that he would fall.
However, at the thought of the consequences if he failed to defend against their attack, he would grit his teeth and continue defending.
BOOM!
A powerful explosion sounded from outside. The control room trembled from the aftereffects of the explosion and the expressions of the five individuals changed at the same time.
Just then, Second Master Lu staggered as he ran inside and he said to them, “One of our fleets was breached and it blew up by itself!”
“What’s going on? Quick! Hurry and defend!”
“We can’t hold on anymore. The other party has already successfully invaded our main controls and we are unable to control many of the programs.”
“Activate the standby program!”
Just as everyone was panicking, all the programs suddenly reverted back to normal. Subsequently, a crisp voice sounded.
“Don’t panic. They only destroyed one-third of the programs.
This sentence alone cheered everyone up.
“Who’s talking?”
“Zi Yi!”
Nangong Yu and Second Master Lu called out Zi Yi’s name at the same time.
Zi Yi continued to speak. “Listen to me. I’ll tell you all what to do.”
Nangong Yu hastily said to the other four individuals who were in a daze, “Hurry and sit down. Listen to Zi Yi’s commands.”
The four of them subconsciously sat down.
With that, Zi Yi’s commands could be heard in the control room from time to time.
When everyone thought that China would have their defenses breached by Country A, the two aircraft carriers dispatched by Country A started to fail one after the other. The fighter jets on the aircraft carrier exploded and everyone jumped into the sea in an attempt to survive.
…
China’s actions this time round had shocked the whole world.
