Chapter 162

"Can it be commissioned into the military?"

"Yes! It absolutely can!" Hearing this, Lu Debiao's eyes lit up.

He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The F-40's performance just now had already completely won Lu Debiao over!

"What you've designed here is no sixth-generation fighter!"

"It's simply the god of air combat!!"

"Just now! The instruments showed the F-40's maximum cruising speed reached 28 Mach!"

"Faster than the Mao Xiong Nation's Vanguard hypersonic missiles!"

"And it even carried some kind of electronic warfare system!"

"In a few moves, it smashed the radar of the Free Nation's aircraft!"

"This is the first time our Dragon Nation has shot down a Free Nation reconnaissance plane through aerial confrontation!"

"It's so damn inspiring!"

"..."

The usually stoic Lu Debiao talked more and more, becoming increasingly excited.

By the end, he was so moved that tears fell.

He was also an old hand in the military.

From the 1996 Baodao Strait Crisis, to the 81192 incident at the beginning of this century, until the birth of the J-10, J-11B, and J-20.

The Dragon Nation's air force had developed from almost nothing, step by step, through hardships, to its current level!

The birth of the J-20 had already allowed the people of the Dragon Nation to see the tail of the Free Nation!

But no one knew how the Dragon Nation had lived through the decades without the J-20, how many cold stares they had endured, and what enormous pressure they had shouldered.

How much heart and blood the Dragon Nation's researchers had poured into this.

How many people had worked themselves to the bone, almost never taking a day off at their posts, just to shorten the development time of fighter jets, even by a little!

And how many people had, because of this, fallen silently at their posts forever and ever.

But now, the J-40 was born, the Soaring Dragon had taken to the sky!

All the sacrifices had been rewarded at this moment.

Lu Debiao's eyes reddened, and unable to control the surging emotions in his heart, he burst into loud sobs.

In the past, this was a scene almost impossible to imagine.

Lu Debiao, a dignified commander of the three armed forces, had a will so firm that he wouldn't even frown under torture.

At this moment, he was actually squatting on the ground, holding his head and crying!

Yet, in this situation, almost no one felt there was anything wrong with Lu Debiao.

Everyone present had tears of excitement falling from their eyes!

After so many years of perseverance, they had finally seen the dawn of hope.

Finally, they had the confidence to surpass the Free Nation...

Looking at the emotional Lu Debiao in front of him, Elder Zhao also held back his own tears of joy.

He stepped forward and patted Lu Debiao's shoulder hard.

"Alright! Commander Lu! Isn't the J-40 out now?"

"The days of the Free Nation riding on our heads and acting like tyrants won't last much longer!"

"With the J-40, this sharp sword of the nation, someone should finally listen to what we say in the future..."

Beside him, Lu Debiao nodded firmly.

"Absolutely!"

"If those little brats still don't listen! I'll twist their heads off myself!"

"I've got the J-40 now! Why would I be afraid of this pack of wolf cubs?"

"The name Soaring Dragon is really well chosen!"

"A dragon soaring in the sky!"

"Now! Our Dragon Nation is truly going to soar into the sky!"

"..."

Meanwhile.

Compared to the joyful atmosphere on the Dragon Nation's side, the air in the Free Nation's base in the Kimchi Nation was filled with a sense of oppression.

When Brigadier General William told the Commander-in-Chief of the Kimchi Nation base, Kevin Schneider, the news that the mission had failed and the reconnaissance plane had likely been destroyed, Kevin was stunned...

No way?

That reconnaissance plane, codenamed Falcon, was invisible even to the Free Nation's own land-based radar.

How could it have been discovered and destroyed by the Dragon Nation?

What kind of international joke is this!

Lieutenant General Kevin asked repeatedly in disbelief, and after receiving the same answer, he was completely dumbfounded.

A moment later.

Kevin pushed his desk with angry force, throwing all the files on it onto the floor!

"Damn it!"

"This Dragon Nation! Has their radar technology actually developed to this point?"

"They even discovered the trail of the Falcon!"

"And they actually shot it down!"

"They simply don't take my Free Nation seriously!"

Kevin roared crazily like an angry lion.

Brigadier General William, seeing Kevin so angry, pondered for a long time before plucking up the courage to speak.

"Mr. Lieutenant General..."

"According to Lieutenant Colonel Louis before he died, he seemed to have been attacked by a Dragon Nation fighter jet!"

"That fighter jet was as fast as a missile... and it fired two missiles at him..."

"Shut up!!"

Kevin roared hysterically.

"William! Have you gone crazy, or have I?"

"Even we in the Free Nation haven't designed a fighter jet as fast as a missile!"

"How could that bunch of mud-legged peasants in the Dragon Nation develop one?"

"This must be the nonsense Louis spouted before he died!"

Hearing this, William wisely shut his mouth and said nothing more.

At this moment, even he himself felt incredibly regretful.

Why on earth did I have to blurt out Louis's nonsense, and get myself scolded...

Kevin paused, thought for a moment, and stated his judgment.

"That must have been a hypersonic missile; because it was too fast, Louis didn't see clearly and was talking nonsense!"

"As for the two missiles fired at him, they must have been the sub-munitions of that missile..."

With Kevin's explanation, everything seemed to make sense.

It was much easier to accept than a fighter jet faster than a missile.

"Brigadier General William!"

"Report this matter to the military and Congress immediately!"

"We must bite back first, claiming that the Dragon Nation violated regulations by shooting down our aircraft, and we must demand a satisfactory answer from them!"

"Better yet! Force them to return the wreckage of the plane..."

Kevin narrowed his eyes.

He had already begun preparing for what was to come.

The Free Nation had done this kind of "thief crying stop thief" thing many times before.

In the past, the Dragon Nation would always obediently accept the blame.

This time, it shouldn't be any different, right... ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
