Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

"Captain Zhang, I'll wait until your military exercise is over before we go back together." Jiang Chen said calmly, "But don't include me in the celebration party. I didn't help much."

Although Jiang Chen decided to stay and wait for the end of the military exercise, he resolutely refused to attend the celebration banquet. He believed that the credit should be attributed to the navy. After all, the submarine had been sold and became the private property of the navy. He did not want to take the credit, so as not to appear ignorant.

Zhang Yuansheng and Chief of Staff Bai looked at each other and understood Jiang Chen's concerns. They knew that if Jiang Chen attended the celebration banquet again, people might think he was seeking revenge. Since Jiang Chen refused so firmly, they did not force him.

"Okay, since you don't want to go, we won't force you." Zhang Yuansheng said, "But we will still send the commendation you deserve to your school."

The two chose a compromise. Since Jiang Chen felt unworthy of the honor, they would not force him to attend the celebration banquet, but recognition was still necessary.

Two hours later, the matter was settled. Chief of Staff Bai took the officers of the directorate and the representatives of the South China Sea Navy on the speedboat for the return journey. They had already investigated the whole story and knew that the East China Sea Navy did not use any illegal missiles. It was all because the weapons made by Jiang Chen were too powerful that they had a misunderstanding.

After seeing the power of the torpedoes on the submarine, they realized their shortsightedness. It turns out that there are torpedoes in the world that are as powerful as intercontinental cruise missiles. Therefore, they decided to withdraw their report on the South China Sea Navy.

On the speedboat, Chief of Staff Bai shook hands tightly with Zhang Yuansheng. "Old Zhang, I have figured out the matter. Don't worry, I will explain the situation to the directorate after I return." He promised, "I will never let your East China Sea Navy be wronged."

At the time of parting, Chief of Staff Bai was very excited. This time, he not only saw the top nuclear-powered submarines in the East China Sea, but also captured the USS Seawolf. More importantly, he got to know Jiang Chen, a military genius, and gained a lot.

"Haha, thank you, Lao Bai!" Zhang Yuansheng responded with a hearty smile.

"Lao Zhang, don't see us off! We are leaving. I wish you good results in the military exercise!" Chief of Staff Bai waved goodbye.

"Good luck to you! Have a safe journey!" Zhang Yuansheng also waved in response and watched them go away.

At a base in the United States, General Smith was anxiously awaiting news from the nuclear-powered submarine they had sent out, but as time passed, there was no response.

"Several hours have passed. Even if he hasn't come back, he should at least send a message!" Smith paced in the conference room, complaining dissatisfiedly, and kept urging the liaison officer to send radio waves to the "Seawolf" in the hope of getting in touch as soon as possible.

The two hours of silence made him feel even more uneasy. Although he still didn't believe that the submarine would have an accident, the long period of loss of contact made him feel irritated. No matter how they sent radio messages, the "Sea Wolf" seemed to have disappeared without any response.

General Smith was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He kept hammering on the table to vent his inner anxiety. The atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed extremely depressing. Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear of angering the furious general.

Time passed by, and the knocking sound echoed in the quiet conference room. However, no matter how hard the liaison officers tried, the nuclear-powered submarine was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

Finally, after a long wait, General Smith's emotions reached the edge of an explosion. He slammed the table, stood up, rushed to the liaison officer who sent the radio, grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

"Damn it, are you sending telegrams? Why is there no news from them yet? Do you know how long they have been in Dragon Country? Nine hours! After such a long time, they should have crawled back even if they had to!" General Smith roared, venting his anger.

The liaison officer who was grabbed by the collar was trembling with fear. Facing the furious general, he did not dare to say a word of defense. He was indeed sending radio waves seriously, but he did not get a reply, and he was helpless. How could he be blamed for such a thing?
However, facing the general's anger, he dared not refute at all. He could only secretly look to other officers in the meeting room for help, hoping that they could help him out. But those officers chose to ignore him, as they did not want to anger the general for a small liaison officer.

At this time, the fat chief of staff stood up. He walked up to General Smith and said calmly, "General, calm down. This matter has nothing to do with the liaison officer. Maybe the submarine encountered some special situation, or there was a new situation in Longguo. They are investigating. Let's wait a little longer."

"If they...if they don't come back in another two hours, then we may have to prepare for the worst." There was a hint of heaviness in the chief of staff's words.

General Smith let go of the liaison officer's collar, turned around and stared at the chief of staff fiercely: "What did you say? Do you know what you are talking about? You mean that our nuclear-powered submarine was intercepted by those poor people in Longguo?"

"Do you have a brain? Do you know that the next time we send over, we will send the best nuclear-powered submarine in the United States? That is the world's top-notch nuclear-powered submarine! Not to mention Longguo, even if Russia comes, they won't be able to find it easily!" General Smith roared angrily.

He disdained the naval strength of Longguo, believing that they would never be able to detect and intercept his nuclear-powered submarines. After all, Longguo's navy was the weakest among the three armies, and was not even as strong as some second-rate powers. It was for this reason that he dared to send nuclear-powered submarines into Longguo's internal waters to conduct theft investigations.

However, now the chief of staff told him that the submarine might have been intercepted by the Dragon Navy. How could he accept this? He firmly believed that his submarine was invincible and that the Dragon Navy could not possibly detect it.

If the nuclear-powered submarine was really intercepted by the Dragon Kingdom’s navy, it would be unbelievable. General Smith would rather believe that something went wrong with the submarine’s equipment or that something unexpected happened on the seabed.

Perhaps a component of the nuclear-powered submarine malfunctioned, or perhaps it encountered complex terrain or undercurrents on the seabed, which caused his soldiers to fail to respond to the radio message in time.

The fat chief of staff was smoking leisurely on the side, watching General Smith's stubbornness with cold eyes. He couldn't help but sneer, his face full of sarcasm.

"General, whether you believe it or not, the facts are before us." He said calmly but firmly, "This is definitely the most plausible explanation at the moment."

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why our submarines haven't returned after so long. They have been away from the base for seven or eight hours, not only have they not returned, but there is no news from them either!"

"General, you don't really think that our nuclear-powered submarine has malfunctioned, do you? Do you believe this reason?" the fat chief of staff continued.

"How many years has the Sea Wolf been in service? I'm afraid it has been ten years? How many times has it broken down during this period? General, you can calculate it yourself!"

"There should be very few, right? Moreover, our nuclear-powered submarine has just undergone comprehensive maintenance recently. How could it suddenly malfunction?"

The fat chief of staff still maintained a calm analysis and looked composed. He looked at General Smith who was still immersed in his own fantasy, and his face showed an even more disdainful expression.

This kind of person can actually become his immediate superior! Is he really qualified to be his leader? The fat chief of staff sneered in his heart. This time, he finally found an opportunity to make General Smith roll off the stage obediently. Even if he has the support of the president behind him, it is useless. After such a serious accident, no one can protect him!

Not only did they lose their nuclear-powered submarines, but it might also worsen the relationship between Long and the United States! This time, even if the king of heaven came, Smith had to get out of this position!

Hearing the fat chief of staff's analysis, General Smith's face turned pale in an instant. He kept shaking his head, seemingly unable to accept this cruel fact.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" He muttered to himself, "How could our nuclear-powered submarine be intercepted by the Dragon Kingdom's navy?"

"How could they discover and intercept our Sea Wolf? The Sea Wolf is equipped with the most advanced power system, weapon system, anti-reconnaissance system and reconnaissance system in the world!"

Looking at General Smith's decadent appearance, the fat chief of staff took a deep puff of his cigar, then walked up to him and pointed at his watch.

"General, I'll give you another two hours. If we still haven't received a response from the nuclear-powered submarine, I'll have no choice but to report it to my superiors." He said in a stern tone, "You should know what the consequences will be!"

General Smith sat slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the second hand on his watch ticking away, his heart filled with despair, and he kept repeating "why?"

"Why haven't they come back yet? Why were they intercepted?" He muttered to himself, as if he was asking himself, or as if he was asking the heavens.

The fat man sat next to him, seemingly playing with his phone calmly, but in fact he was very excited. He knew that in a few minutes, he would be able to report the news to the US headquarters, and then General Smith's position would be replaced by him. He had waited too long for this day.

Although he was shocked that Longguo could intercept their nuclear-powered submarines, he was more excited and expectant. Because he understood that this meant that Longguo might have mastered technology that they did not know yet. He secretly made up his mind that once he took the position of general, he must strengthen the espionage activities against Longguo and unveil this mysterious veil.

At the same time, he also thought of the college student in the previous armed helicopter incident. That seemingly ordinary college student was actually sent by the Dragon Country to "block the knife". There must be something behind this. He planned to investigate this college student carefully to see if there was anything he could find.

On the other side, the military exercise has come to an end. Due to the outstanding performance of the East China Sea Navy's nuclear-powered submarines and the mechas manufactured by Jiang Chen, the opponent had almost no ability to fight back. Even when the South China Sea Navy joined forces with other navies to fight against the East China Sea Navy, it failed to gain any advantage.

The electromagnetic gun is a powerful weapon that can destroy the opponent's electrical equipment with just one shot, making the navy's radar and high-precision weapons useless. It is like fighting an opponent in the dark, completely in a passive position.

The military exercise was originally scheduled to last for ten days, but it ended in two days. This was because the East China Sea Navy deliberately slowed down the pace, otherwise, with the help of nuclear-powered submarines and Jiang Chen's mecha, the battle could have been ended that night.

After the military exercise, inside the East China Sea Naval Base, bald Xiao Zhengbang ran towards Jiang Chen with a big smile on his face, not at all frustrated by being eliminated.

"Brother Jiang Chen, long time no see!" he greeted warmly.

Jiang Chen smiled and responded: "Hello, Captain Xiao."

"Hey, why call me Captain? That's too formal!" Xiao Zhengbang waved his hand, "Just call me Lao Xiao!"

He held Jiang Chen's hand affectionately and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder: "I was blind and didn't recognize the great man before. I offended you, little brother. I hope you don't mind!"

Jiang Chen was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, but he still responded with a smile: "No, no, Captain Xiao, you are too polite."

"Don't be so formal, just call me Lao Xiao!" Xiao Zhengbang emphasized again.

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly and called out, "Old Xiao."

Xiao Zhengbang immediately smiled happily: "That's right! Brother, I know you like freedom and don't like being bound. So, I won't mention the matter of letting you join the institute again."

Jiang Chen was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface: "Oh? Then Xiao... Old Xiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Zhengbang leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear mysteriously and said, "Brother, this is actually the case. You know that my South China Sea Navy mainly participates in foreign military operations, right? That is the face of our Dragon Navy! But, you have also seen that my military equipment... Oh, it's hard to describe!"

He began to complain, trying to arouse Jiang Chen's sympathy.

Jiang Chen already understood his intention, but he still nodded in cooperation: "Yes, Brother Xiao, I understand your difficulties."

"Hey, brother, actually I want to ask you for a favor." Xiao Zhengbang finally showed his true colors.

Jiang Chen pretended to be surprised: "Oh? What can I do for you? Brother Xiao, just tell me!"

Xiao Zhengbang rubbed his hands and said, "Actually, I would like to ask you to help improve the equipment level of our South China Sea Navy. I know you have the ability, and you also like freedom and don't want to be bound. So, I would like to ask you to help us as a consultant, how about it?"

Jiang Chen laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to consider it on the surface: "Well... let me think about it carefully."

Jiang Chen stared at Xiao Zhengbang quietly, watching how he would continue to act. After a few minutes, Xiao Zhengbang finally couldn't act anymore, and he sighed, revealing his true intentions. (End of this chapter)
