Chapter 134

Flee! The only thought remaining in the minds of those fighter pilots was to escape.

Thus, the people of Xuzheng Prefecture witnessed the once-arrogant Ugly Nation fighters one by one banking their noses and speeding away into the distance.

2.5 Watching those scattered, fleeing fighters on the radar screen,

Lin Yi directly piloted the J-20 over the capital of Xuzheng Prefecture, Damascus, and gave chase.

And aided by some faint lights,

some people in Xuzheng Prefecture finally saw clearly what kind of fighter jet was pursuing those Ugly Nation forces.

Gray camouflage, a lifting-body design with canards and strakes, and a massive fuselage.

The overall impression was one brimming with the aesthetic beauty of industrial civilization.

"What kind of fighter is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"It's the Dragon Nation's J-20; I once saw this stealth fighter on the Dragon Nation's internet..."

"The Dragon Nation's J-20; indeed, the President was right—the Dragon Nation is supporting us from behind the scenes..."

"But why is there only one!"

"Could it be that..."

Correct! If viewed from a satellite, one could easily discover it.

A single Dragon Nation J-20 was hunting down a group of Ugly Nation fighters.

(PS: For this new book, I beg for flowers, tips, and rating tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)

And this news spread at the speed of light.

After all, who would believe that the Xuzheng side had no spies bought off by Chou intelligence organizations?

Thus, very quickly, including Chou intelligence agencies, the entire joint fleet, the White House, the Pentagon, and others all found out.

The Long intelligence agencies were no pushovers either, obtaining accurate information immediately as well.

A J-20 fighter jet was displaying its might over the skies of Aid Aid Xuliya.

Yes, displaying its might; a single aircraft was hunting down a group of Chou fighter jets.

Chasing those once-arrogant Chou fighters until they had no path to the sky and no gate to the earth.

Finally, blowing them up one by one.

Could this not be considered displaying its might?

To be honest, upon hearing this news, everyone, including the Grand Leader of Long, found it unbelievable.

After all, although they felt their own J-20 was very strong,

perhaps even slightly stronger than the F-22 Raptor, which had been in Chou service for over twenty years,

they absolutely could not believe that a single J-20 could hunt down a group of Chou fighters in the manner of a massacre.

Besides, the ammunition load would not be sufficient anyway.

But reality is just that bizarre.

According to intelligence they obtained from within Chou, this mysterious J-20, which was not in Long's aircraft registry, might have already destroyed more than two Chou F-22 Raptor fighters, along with nearly twenty F/A-18E Super Hornets.

Its fierce combat record could fully be entered into the history of the world's air forces.

But the problem was, this record did not seem to have been created by Long itself.

At an emergency meeting in Zhonghai, the Grand Leader looked at the silent Air Force and government leaders and said with a smile,

"Why is everyone so serious? This is good news! Look at how powerful our fighter jets are;

now who still dares to say that our Long fighters are inferior to others..."

Hearing the Grand Leader speak thus, the atmosphere of the meeting relaxed somewhat.

"The Grand Leader is right; this is good news. I wonder what those flatterers of Chou will say now? Our J-20 has achieved solid, undeniable results!"

An Air Force general said,

"Indeed, not only did it destroy more than two Chou F-22 Raptors, shattering the legend of Old Chou's invincibility,

but I heard that fighter jet nearly wiped out an entire carrier's worth of aircraft... It truly brings us honor!"

"If only we could find out who that pilot is; with this level of skill, the position of Chief Instructor for the Air Force Fighter Formation must belong to him!"

Upon hearing this Air Force general speak thus,

everyone nodded secretly in agreement.

In the past, the Air Force had a tradition: for every enemy aircraft shot down, a star could be affixed to the plane.

Affixing stars to aircraft could be said to be a common practice among the air forces of various nations.

In Long, many fighter jets housed in museums have red five-pointed stars affixed to their fuselages,

representing the number of enemy aircraft the pilot shot down while flying that plane.

Once, during the War to Resist Chou and Aid Aid Aid Xuliya, a hero led twelve warbirds against over forty Chou military aircraft,

shooting down and damaging six Chou planes.

Even this Air Force hero managed to shoot down a Chou "Triple Ace" (a pilot who has shot down fifteen or more aircraft),

shaking the Chou Congress.

Thus, under the hero's leadership, by the end of the War to Resist Chou and Aid Aid Aid Xuliya,

this brigade had participated in over eighty air battles, shooting down and damaging twenty-nine Chou aircraft, earning a First-Class Merit collectively.

The hero personally created the brilliant record of shooting down and damaging nine Chou aircraft.

Although the hero was admirable, what about now? A single person piloting Long's newest model fighter jet,

acting alone and by their own strength, took out more than twenty advanced Chou fighters,

including two F-22 stealth fighters, creating a combat record that could be described as unprecedented and never to be surpassed.

If the state were to award merit, designating them as a Special-Class Merit Holder would not be excessive, right?

The only regret was that they had no idea who the formidable person piloting this mysterious J-20 was.

To be honest, the Grand Leader's first reaction upon hearing this matter was also that it was impossible.

However, the source of the intelligence was extremely accurate; this point could be said to be beyond doubt.

But initially, wasn't it said that Mao Xiong was joining the war, preparing to launch a Mao Xiong version of the "War to Resist Chou and Aid Aid Aid Xuliya"?

Because of this, the Grand Leader had felt that Old Bear was truly brave, worthy of being called a fighting nation.

Two words: decisive!

At that time, he was even thinking of using a dedicated line to call the Mao Xiong Emperor to ask for details.

Why not notify us in advance?

We could have made preparations too.

But who would have expected that before the call could even be made, the situation took a 180-degree turn?

The so-called Mao Xiong entry into the war was simply the imagination of the Chou Air Force.

They mistook the fighter jet attacking them for Mao Xiong's Su-57,

and then deduced the fact that Mao Xiong had joined the war.

But the true situation was that a single J-20 fighter jet had swept across the Chou Air Force.

"However, Grand Leader, in this case, Chou will protest against our country again, believing that our nation aided Aid Aid Xuliya!"

The leader of the Foreign Affairs Department said.

"It's a baseless fabrication; they have no evidence whatsoever. Besides, if we were truly supporting the Xuzheng Prefecture, would we really dispatch only a single fighter jet?"

Speaking thus, the President declared with immense resolve:

"Furthermore, the Dragon Nation of today is not the Qing government that only knew how to cede territory and pay reparations; should we fear their protests?"

At these words, everyone present shuddered from head to toe.

"Do not become timid and hesitant over mere protests from the other side. If we did not do it, then naturally our consciences are clear.

No one can force a non-existent matter onto the Dragon Nation's shoulders; our cadres must keep this firmly in mind!"

the President stated.

"However, President, we still need to issue a statement regarding this matter, after all, it involves our J-20 fighter jet!"

the leader of the Foreign Affairs Department said.

"Then have the spokesperson issue a declaration, reiterating that this J-20 has no connection to our country; it must be a counterfeit product by DWS, meaning we are the victims as well!"

the President ordered.

"Yes!" the leader of the Foreign Affairs Department replied.
