Super Island Tycoon

In the conference room, all senior officers of South Korea's First Fleet focused their gaze on Lee Jae-yong sitting in the seat.

The third-generation heir of Samsung before them was the most powerful person in South Korea, and even President Park Mu-jin had to heed his wishes. Moreover, all the warships under their First Fleet were constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries.

In a sense, it was him who truly held the decision-making power. Whether to send troops to Jade Island depended on his opinion.

The atmosphere in the conference room was slightly oppressive. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, all quietly waiting for Lee Jae-yong to make the final decision.

"The honor of the Republic of Korea is absolutely not to be sullied by others!"

After a period of silence, a ferocious expression suddenly appeared on Lee Jae-yong's face, like a lion gone mad. He fixed his gaze on the map of the Jade Island sea area in front of him, gritting his teeth as he made the final decision!

...

On this day.

In the early morning hours.

At the Seogwipo Naval Base on Jeju Island, heavily armored battleships began to slowly depart from the military docks, heading slowly into the deep sea.

These heavyweight battleships feature the most advanced sea-based artillery turrets of the present day, terrifying for ordinary combat vessels, especially with their long-range anti-aircraft guns that boast devastating firepower, worthy of being called juggernauts of modern warfare.

Since South Korea equipped this new weapon, it has never been demonstrated in actual combat but has still become an existence akin to a demon in the eyes of other nations.

An entire fleet, fully armed, quietly sailed south under the cover of night.

...

At the same time.

At the Central Operations Command Center on Nanyao Island.

Jiang Cheng, dressed in military attire, stood in front of a glass window, gazing out at the vast, deep sea through the dim light, his face devoid of emotion.

At this moment, his heart was more serene than ever.

However, from the faint gleam in his eyes, it could be seen that his heart was not entirely without ripples, but rather tinged with a hint of eager excitement!

Jiang Cheng was quietly waiting for Samsung Company's move!

He knew that Samsung Crown Prince too well.

At one time, when Jade Island appeared on the world stage with a strong stance, Samsung Company was a proud, unicorn-like enterprise. With the opportunity of South Korea's initial coup d'état, it practiced collusion between government and business, ultimately stepping onto the world stage from behind the scenes.

Moreover, in just a few decades, it grew into such a powerful behemoth that even the financial conglomerates of Western countries had to take notice.

In South Korea, it could be called the Miracle of the Han River!

Such a glorious growth journey was enough to carve a place in South Korean history, and of course, bestowed upon the Sanxing Clan unparalleled honor.

And such honor is not to be tarnished by others.

As the third-generation heir of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong likewise inherited his forebears' pride and arrogance, and he held an almost fanatical obsession with the honor of the Sanxing Clan!

He would not allow the honor belonging to the Sanxing Clan to be ruined in his hands!

Thus, military action towards Jade Island was inevitable!

Jiang Cheng was now waiting for that moment when the other side would act so he could make them pay dearly for their arrogance.

"Report, Commander! Movement detected in the South Korean First Fleet!" Just then, the voice of the dispatcher sounded behind him.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Cheng's eyes gleamed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a faintly amused expression.

"Where are they now?" Jiang Cheng asked without turning his head.

"They have just set off, heading directly for Jade Island. At their current speed, they are expected to enter the military identification zone of Jade Island by 7 AM."

"Proceed according to plan!" Jiang Cheng instructed simply.

Jiang Cheng had already thoroughly investigated the South Korean First Fleet stationed on Jeju Island, gaining a sufficient understanding of its strength.

Although this fleet was one of South Korea's five major fleets, it was the strongest one. In terms of actual combat power, it was enough to match any two of the other four fleets combined.

Moreover, the warships under this fleet were the most advanced heavy battleships of the current day, possessing formidable firepower deterrence.

This scale of the fleet was obviously incomparable to the ragtag fleet that previously raided Jade Island; it was a true national naval force!

Nonetheless, even so, compared to Jade Island, which had era-defining long-range destroyers, it was still negligible!

This was not Jiang Cheng underestimating the opponent but rather a difference in war theory and war concepts, far beyond the strength that could be demonstrated by the fleet's surface capabilities.

In other words, the destroyers with ultra-long-range combat capabilities could initiate devastating strikes before the enemy even discovered them.

Although the South Korean fleet had heavy armor capabilities, even with this advantage, it was difficult to gain an edge in battle.

Moreover, to deal with this conflict, Jiang Cheng had already equipped all destroyers with supercavitating torpedoes, giving all his warships underwater combat capabilities.

This way, the submarine threat from South Korea's First Fleet also ceased to exist.

To Jiang Cheng, South Korea's First Fleet, now charging towards Jade Island, was nothing more than a bunch of sitting ducks at sea!

However, Jiang Cheng did not intend to end the opponent's attack so simply.

He valued the reputation of Jade Island more!

This sudden strike by the South Korean fleet was a great opportunity. If Jiang Cheng could utilize it well, he might achieve both military and political gains for Jade Island!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng turned around, called over a navy sergeant, and said: "Go, bring me Palo."

The sergeant, having heard Jiang Cheng's words, immediately responded to the order and left the conference room.

Jiang Cheng then revealed a dangerous smile.

Palo!

This was the trump card Jiang Cheng had been holding. The reason he went through all the trouble to bring Palo back from the Philippines was precisely for this day!

Lee Jae-yong had schemed multiple times to frame Jade Island using various underhanded methods, and Palo was the first card they played.

No one expected that Palo was now in Jiang Cheng's hands.

As the South Korean First Fleet aggressively approached, Jiang Cheng felt it was time to put on a good show for the whole world!

The star of this show was evidently Lee Jae-yong!

As the director, Jiang Cheng had the responsibility to make this performance even more exciting. He wanted to let everyone witness the downfall of the Samsung Empire in front of the whole world!
