Chapter 143: The Mysterious Fleet of Jade Island!
At this moment, Jiang Cheng, dressed in a tailored handmade suit, appeared slightly solemn, carrying an aura of authority.
When Jiang Cheng officially stepped onto the podium, the media reporters who had been anxiously waiting in the banquet hall for a long time immediately began adjusting their lenses, all focusing on Jiang Cheng.
For them, this moment had finally arrived!
This was major news.
At this crisis moment, how would the current master of Jade Island respond to the sudden attack by the Three-Star Fleet? Would he bow to the Samsung Empire as speculated online, or fight back with all his might?
If it were the latter, would the conflict erupting between the two sides drag the previously tranquil Jade Island into the mire, leaving it in a state of never-ending decline?
Amid the concerns of these media reporters, Jiang Cheng finally faced the cameras and began his press conference.
"I'm sure media friends have seen it. Peace-loving Jade Island is now facing the greatest crisis in its history!"
"We are under invasion!"
"According to an investigation by the intelligence department, the first fleet from the South Korean government has already intruded within 12 nautical miles of Jade Island's security identification zone. According to the standards of international law, South Korea's actions have seriously violated the sovereignty of Jade Island!"
In the large banquet hall, Jiang Cheng spoke with a solemn expression, issuing an official statement concerning the invasion by the South Korean fleet.
This statement, broadcast through major media outlets, reached the eyes of internet users worldwide, immediately inciting a massive wave of public opinion.
For any country in the world, territorial sovereignty is the highest right that must not be infringed upon. Once violated, the most severe retaliatory actions will inevitably follow.
From Jiang Cheng's statement, observers could tell that this revered figure in people's hearts was truly angry!
"Ho ho ho! Isle Master Jiang is mighty. It seems he is genuinely enraged. This will be interesting!"
"No matter what, infringing on another's territorial sovereignty is absolutely unacceptable. Those Samsung fools are courting death!"
"Indeed, Samsung has severely infringed on Jade Island's sovereignty. Any counterattack from Jade Island is justified. Full support for Isle Master Jiang in going to war!"
"Support Isle Master Jiang!"
"Support Jade Island!"
...
Online, as soon as Jiang Cheng made his statement, it quickly resonated with the vast majority of netizens, who voiced their full support for Jade Island and Jiang Cheng's counterattack against Samsung.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng's solemn declaration continued at the press conference.
"All along, Jade Island has been quietly contributing to world peace and development, which is deeply related to the peace-loving nature of its people."
"However, what I want to say at this moment is that just because we love peace doesn't mean we won't launch the fiercest counterattack against those invading us. If peace can only be achieved through weapons, then we are willing to accept that!"
"And we will show no mercy to those despicable invaders!"
"Lastly, I want to say to all who care for and cherish this sacred land of Jade Island that we will make every effort to protect this land from any enemy invasion. This is my eternal promise!"
After Jiang Cheng's statement ended, the room erupted into loud applause.
This scene was also taking place on the streets of Jade Island and in corners of the world.
Clearly, the situation of Jade Island has garnered everyone's sympathy, and in the face of such vile invaders, of course, they all strongly support Jade Island launching a rightful counterattack to protect this island that has made significant contributions to world development.
The next moment, under the collective witness of online users, Jiang Cheng in the live video picked up his intercom and issued the counterattack order!
"Action starts!"
As Jiang Cheng's words dropped, netizens immediately noticed the change in the video scene.
What appeared on-screen was no longer the press conference, but the sight of a military port.
In the image, dozens of different types of warships were neatly lined up before a dock at a military port, and the soldiers on them appeared spirited and fully armed.
Most notably, all these warships, unlike conventional ones seen before, had a layer of deep blue coating on their surface, resembling the color of the surrounding sea.
The style of these warships was also angular and full of a sci-fi feel.
Seeing this scene, netizens erupted with excitement!
"Heavens, is this Jade Island's fleet? Wasn't there seemingly not such a large scale before?"
"Oh my, what are the models of these warships? They don't seem to match the conventional ones we've seen, but they look so cool!"
"Isle Master Jiang truly had a hidden hand. Seems we underestimated Jade Island. Now this will be entertaining."
"Preliminary estimates suggest these should be Jade Island's latest model warships. Last time, during the raid on militants, they didn't use this fleet, meaning the weapon systems have been upgraded."
"Indeed, given Jade Island's technological prowess, building such a fleet shouldn't be a tough job, just that it was never reported before."
"Curious to see the terrifying attack power of these warships, truly too much anticipation."
"Samsung Empire vs. Jade Island, alright, here comes the show!"
As more impactful warships were showcased in the video, they promptly spurred huge discussions among netizens.
Jade Island always impressed outsiders with its powerful technological prowess, but military aspects hadn't seen much news, leading outsiders to think Jade Island didn't value military development.
However, upon witnessing this vast fleet, people realized their previous concerns about Jade Island might have been unnecessary.
...
At the same time.
On the sea, 12 nautical miles north of Jade Island, the first fleet from South Korea was slowly moving towards the island.
Among them, aboard a flagship in the center, Commander Jin Zhengmin was presently filled with anxiety.
For him, this was definitely the worst moment of his military career.
Just now, through the live broadcast, he saw the official press conference held by Jade Island and, of course, the mysterious fleet demonstrated by Jade Island.
To be honest, his first impression was that this fleet was very powerful!
Jade Island's naval strength didn't appear as weak as imagined!
This is certainly a failure of the intelligence department, because, in previous investigations about Jade Island's military strength, it seemed there weren't supposed to be so many warships!
Realizing this, Jin Zhengmin suddenly felt he should thoroughly discuss with Lee Jae-yong whether a retreat should be considered first.
