You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 745 The eyes of the world are focused on this sea area.

Chapter 745 The eyes of the world are focused on this sea area.
Zhang Yaozu has become numb.

He spent over twenty years in the military.

I've seen my share of storms and waves.

I know several soldiers who are audacious, reckless, and even arrogant.

But whether they are thugs or radicals who act in extreme ways and are ready to clash with the US military at the slightest disagreement.

None of them were as radical as these young people in front of him.

To use an internet meme.

Even he, a radical, thought it was too radical.

Brother!

Neither country has declared war yet.

Both sides are still prioritizing the overall situation.

How come you've already started calling for war and killing?
Not only did they shout for war, but they also said that they could open fire if they detected enemy aircraft's intention to attack.

Listen.

Is this something a soldier should say?

What does it mean to say that "you can open fire if you sense an attack intent"? Is it really appropriate to use such subjective assumptions as a reason to open fire?
Don't do it!
This could actually provoke a large-scale conflict between the two countries.

You bunch of kids are sinners in history.

However, Zhang Yaozu knew even better that the young men in front of him were no ordinary people.

Let alone a mere lieutenant colonel commander of a garrison area, I doubt even the Southern Theater Command's navy and air force can control them.

So after the group finalized all the details of the escort mission.

Zhang Yaozu cautiously asked, "What are the backgrounds of you audacious youngsters? And what exactly is the Hungry Wolf Brigade? I get the feeling that you all have a very fierce style of doing things."

He originally wanted to say 'overbearing' or 'troublemaker'.

However, I felt that this was not quite appropriate.

"I've seen many naval and air force units stationed in my Yongxing Island garrison over the past few years, but this is the first time I've seen such formidable troops as you."

A strange look appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Ma Shankui and the others also looked at Zhang Yaozu with ambiguous smiles.

Zhang Yaozu saw this.

I realized I had asked a question I shouldn't have.

So he waved his hand somewhat awkwardly and said, "If it involves classified information, then I won't ask. I won't ask what I shouldn't ask, and I still know a few of the confidentiality regulations by heart."

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Chief, it's not that we deliberately concealed it."

Zhang Yaozu rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "You're already a major at twenty-two or twenty-three, while I'm only a lieutenant colonel at thirty or forty. So you have the nerve to call me 'commander' and I'm embarrassed to respond. Why don't you just call me by my name or my rank?"

“You’re a rank higher than me, so if I don’t call you ‘Commander,’ should I call you Brother Zhang?” Jiang Chen laughed.

“Uncle Zhang is fine too,” Zhang Yaozu joked.

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes before saying, "It's not that we're deliberately hiding it, but there are some things we really can't say. But don't worry, the reason we dared to fire first isn't because we're arrogant, but because we've already obtained the authority to fire, and we won't let the Yongxing Island garrison suffer the consequences along with us."

Jiang Chen's tone was very calm.

But to Zhang Yaozu's ears...

It was like a raging storm.

He was becoming increasingly curious about these kids and their 'Hungry Wolf Squad'.

What exactly is their background?
The war hasn't even started yet, and they've already been granted the authority to open fire?

in other words.

Regardless of whether this force comes to the South China Sea or not, anywhere in the world, at any time, and facing any opponent, as long as they determine that the other party has the intention to attack, they can open fire first without requesting permission.

Oh my god.

No wonder Major Jiang was able to open fire on Luzon's armed ships without asking for permission a few days ago.

It turns out they already had the authority to fire.

Even the front fingers can't be controlled anymore.

A classic line suddenly popped into Zhang Yaozu's mind.
"You ask me what the Western Depot is? Let me tell you now: cases the Eastern Depot can't solve, the Western Depot will solve. And listen carefully: those the Eastern Depot dares not kill, I will kill; those the Eastern Depot dares not handle, I will handle. In short, what the Eastern Depot can handle, I will handle; what the Eastern Depot can't handle, I will handle even more—I'll execute first and report later, with imperial permission! That's the Western Depot, is that clear enough?"
It's turned around.

I've become the noisy eunuch from the Eastern Depot. "I'm not worried about what kind of trouble I'll get into," Zhang Yaozu said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm just worried that things will blow up."

"But now I understand. The purpose of sending you to Yongxing Island is quite clear. Because you have the authority to open fire, you can not only adapt to changing circumstances, but you are also tough enough."

"In other words, the higher-ups are also taking a very tough stance, determined to 'keep the enemy out of the country's borders' no matter the cost!"

"Now that's the case, I understand."

Zhang Yaozu stood up and said to Jiang Chen, "There are still a few hours before the mission is to be carried out. You two stay in the flight briefing room to rest and recuperate. We, the garrison area, will handle everything else. I will go and arrange for the maintenance, upkeep, refueling, and loading of live ammunition for the fighter jets right away."

"Come back to the tarmac for inspection in two hours."

Jiang Chen nodded to him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Yongxing Island appears relaxed on the outside but is tightly controlled on the inside.

We entered a state of first-level combat readiness as early as ten or twenty days ago.

Especially the island's air defense system.

All anti-aircraft firepower is activated.

The radar station on the island is also monitoring all directions.

Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, the slightest disturbance in the sea will not escape the "eyes" of the radar station on the island.

In the sky.

More than a dozen military reconnaissance satellites, as well as the BeiDou navigation system, are now closely monitoring the eastern coastal waters, especially the South China Sea.

The entire military force of the Xia Kingdom had already completed its mobilization several days ago.

Some troops even secretly moved to strategic locations.

In Hunan Province, in mountainous areas.

The Rocket Force has secretly mobilized and assembled.

After arriving at the launch site, the two missile brigades of the Rocket Force quickly completed the coordinate marking and all preparations before firing.

Capital city time.

Around 3 PM.

The so-called 'arbitration tribunal' located in Europe declared Luzon in favor of the country.

After just a few minutes.

The US Secretary of State then made a public statement openly supporting Luzon.

at the same time.

The University of Tokyo also made the announcement.

Two H-6K strategic bombers of the Chinese Air Force will patrol the South China Sea and complete live-fire target practice.

As for the so-called 'arbitration'.

We have already stated our position – we will not accept or participate.

To put it more nicely.

We do not accept the so-called 'judgment' result.
