Chapter 14: Eagle Country attacks, swallowing humiliation with tears

After Zhang Wen finished reading, he was happily jumping up and down.

This missile and the data given by the system cannot be said to be exactly the same; they can only be said to be completely the same.

Even the parameters are the same, meaning that the ships built in our own factory can be fully compatible.

"Great. We'll just choose this one."

"When will the radar experiment succeed?"

Zhang Wen excitedly asked Director Liu.

"The materials need three days, the experiment needs one month. If the experiment succeeds, the first set of samples can be produced."

Director Liu knew what Zhang Wen was saying, and also knew why Zhang Wen had come.

"Good!"

"If you encounter any problems, please be sure to call me."

Zhang Wen gripped Director Liu's hand and said.

"Rest assured." Director Liu made a solemn promise.

"The hull will take three months to build. I'll come back in a month."

Zhang Wen decided to say goodbye to Director Liu.

He rushed back to Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory to speed up progress.

Meanwhile, in the South Sea.

A fleet consisting of three Eagle Country destroyers was drifting toward the South Sea.

"Yuehan, if every day were like this, how happy would we be?"

Captain Smith of the Ocean Goddess destroyer said to the boat captain Yuehan of another destroyer.

"Indeed, but an opponent with no power to resist is really boring."

Yuehan stretched and said.

"I'm getting a bit tired of it; every time we come, it's like a parade float—when we arrive, those monkeys' ships come along, follow us, do nothing, just watch."

"How boring."

Yuehan kept saying.

"Forget it; the capital is just trying to create some friction for us, but not to the point of sparking a conflict."

"You should understand the limits here."

Smith looked at his lazy self and couldn't help reminding him.

According to his usual temperament, a scolding is inevitable.

But this is Yuehan, the son of a congressman; I can't afford to offend him.

If I offend him, after I retire, no arms company will be willing to spend money to support me.

"I know, but don't you find it really boring?"

Yuehan suddenly thought of something and sat up straight.

He stared intently at the radar on the screen.

"What is this?"

Only a small dot appeared on the radar screen.

Moreover, the hull and tonnage indicated it.

It was a fishing boat.

"Smith, let's go and make that dare-to-fish guy look bad."

"You know, I'm actually an environmentalist." Yuehan said, somewhat smugly, while putting on an air of nobility.

"Yuehan, shouldn't we be more cautious? That's just a civilian ship." Smith said anxiously.

"Coward! If you won't come, I will." Yuehan didn't listen at all and went straight after him.

Smith and the captain of another destroyer exchanged a glance and also had to follow.

In the salty, humid sea breeze, Chen Daye, who had just hauled in his net, was overjoyed.

The catch before him was not small; after returning this time, he could earn a lot of money.

"Chen Daye, this haul is not small!"

"After returning, remember to treat everyone to a meal!"

The young worker on the ship said happily.

"Hahaha, fine, no problem!"

"Let's treat you to a big meal!"

While Chen Daye and the others struggled to load all the catch onto the boat.

He let out a long breath and shouted: "Alright, work's done, let's head home!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Amidst cheers, Chen Daye started the boat.

Not long after setting off, he heard the young worker on the ship let out a sharp scream.

"Chen Shifu! A ship is following us!"

"What?"

Chen Shifu immediately let go of the helm and ran to the stern to have a look.

Only then did he discover that a fleet of three ships was approaching them in the distance.

"Quick, turn on the radio!"

"Ask them who they are!"

Chen Daye immediately pulled out the radio from the cabin.

He began calling the other side.

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

A whole minute passed, and there was not the slightest response from them.

But they saw the ship drawing nearer.

Even the deckhands on the ship used binoculars to see the flags flying on those three ships.

"On the ship, the flag is that of Eagle Country!"

Hearing this, Chen Daye knew it was hopeless.

He hurriedly opened the radio and began calling the navy.

The Shark torpedo boat was the first to receive the news.

After hearing the radio, boat captain Wang Shouxin immediately rushed to the scene.

At the same time, he began to request instructions.

But the news he received chilled his heart.

Currently, in this sea area, he only has one ship, and the nearest ship is already heading here.

But their ship and his torpedo boat are the same, with a maximum speed of only thirty knots, so it will take at least half an hour to get here.

This also means that his ship alone must face the enemy's three destroyers.

The difference between torpedo boats and destroyers is shocking just in terms of displacement: the torpedo boat's displacement is at most one thousand tons.

But even the smallest destroyers are four or five thousand tons, and the larger ones are seven or eight thousand tons.

The disparity in equipment is even more obvious.

But can we just chicken out?

No.

This is the duty of a soldier.

Wang Shouxin straightened his own clothes and called all the crew to assemble.

After telling them of the situation they would face,

He resolutely steered toward that sea area.

On Chen Daye's ship, Chen Daye nervously gripped the wheel, straining to squeeze out every last bit of engine power.

But it was simply too slow, after all it was a fishing boat, not designed with a powerful engine.

He could only watch helplessly as those three ships drew nearer.

Finally, Chen Daye and the people on the ship saw a mountain.

A ship as huge as a mountain lay across Chen Daye's vessel.

At that moment, a voice finally came over the radio.

"Hey hey hey! I'm Yuehan, you monkeys, actually fishing—do you know about environmental protection?"

"I will punish you in the name of God!"

"Hahahaha!"

Smith said nothing, knowing that Yuehan's thoughts had nothing to do with any nonsense about environmental protection.

All he had was a sense of superiority from on high, and the madness of long-term drug abuse.

"Chen, Chen Daye, what should we do?!"

The deckhands on the ship were about to cry.

"Trust our people; I already sent a message via radio earlier."

Chen Daye's eyes revealed a look of despair.

"Yuehan, you've had enough fun; it's time to retreat." Smith suddenly saw on the radar a ship marked as a warship speeding toward them at full throttle; he wasn't Yuehan, didn't have a politician father, and couldn't bear such a matter.

"Wait, I'll give them a little lesson!"

Yuehan said maniacally.

All they saw was him powering the ship, directly overturning Chen Daye's fishing boat into the sea.

Just then, Wang Shouxin, who had rushed over, flew into a rage; he quickly had others rescue the people, while he himself grabbed the radio and shouted abuse at the opposing Eagle Country fleet.

Fortunately, no one was injured or killed; Chen Daye and the crew were found and brought aboard.

But all that came from the other side was a chorus of sneering laughter.

"Monkeys, if we don't leave, what will you do to us?"

"Just relying on that broken ship of yours?"

"Hahahaha! Even the fish on that broken ship couldn't scratch the paint on mine."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing that, Wang Shouxin could only suppress his anger.

He knew that what they said was true.

Leaving aside the pitiful hit rate, even if they hit, what could it do?

The power of those torpedoes is simply too small.

Moreover, it's not just him; most vessels in the navy are torpedo boats.

Even if allies arrive, they won't be able to stop them.

Facing the warriors below, one after another, came the cries requesting battle.

Wang Shouxin could only grit his teeth, swallowing this humiliation down into his stomach.

Accompanied by laughter from the opposite side and the departing silhouettes.

In Wang Shouxin's clenched fist, blood traces gradually seeped out.

Being weak is just like that; even resistance is a joke.

If only there were a ship that could threaten them.

But, unfortunately, there isn't one now.

Wang Shouxin could only bury his anger in his heart, silently waiting for that day to arrive, hoping that day would not be too far off.
