Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 287 [Lakeside: Yes, it was me who did it]

Three more days passed.

Finally, some new information has been leaked. The Australian media broke the news first. It has to be said that the Australian media has something going on. They were the ones who broke the news first about some of Ah Mei's less-than-honorable things a few times before.

According to the media report, the USS Roosevelt carrier strike group, deployed in the Indian Ocean, was allegedly attacked by an unidentified advanced weapon during a mission, resulting in the loss of a large number of carrier-based aircraft and severe damage to the carrier's deck.

This news immediately attracted huge attention worldwide.

This has sparked considerable discussion, especially in China.

If the Australian media reports are true, then Ah Mei's losses this time are truly quite severe.

After the news broke, the big brothers behind the Lakers were overjoyed. Wow, the guy is really something, achieving such a fruitful result without making a sound. No wonder Old Mag was so anxious.

Shortly after the Australian media broke the news, Amei immediately had the captain of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier come out to clarify, issuing a triple denial.

Just a few hours later, the video was discovered by resourceful netizens around the world to have been posted in March.

This is getting interesting. The more you try to explain, the worse it gets. And with more and more information leaking out internationally, it's hard to tell what's true and what's false, making the whole thing even more confusing.

The movements of US President Trump's aircraft carrier are being watched by the world, but it seems that Trump is about to fall into a self-proving trap.

If the USS America's aircraft carrier cannot project its full image, then to the international community it will appear as if it has been hit; if it begins to move, it will be because it is under attack and forced to evade; if the carrier does not move, it will be because its engines have been damaged and it cannot move.

……

The next day.

The Lakers quickly became a trending topic on global news platforms after a spokesperson for the Lakers announced on social media this afternoon that they had recently conducted a series of high-quality military operations and claimed responsibility for the incident.

The translation is: Yes, it was me who did it.

In his statement, the younger brother further declared that he would continue to strike the US Navy carrier strike group whenever the opportunity presented itself, and would even further increase his strike capabilities.

This news immediately caused a global sensation, and the Lakers' teammate went straight to the top of global trending topics and made headlines on major media outlets.

Actually, even the Lakers' brother wasn't sure if it was his own hypersonic missile that hit it, but since no one else stepped forward to take the blame, he decisively stepped forward and took responsibility.

Moreover, given the current situation, even if Lakers came forward and said it wasn't him, the whole world probably wouldn't believe it and would assume it was him, because only you would dare to do something like that.

Among so many brothers in the Middle East, only you, brother, dare to confront that big rogue, the United States. No one else dares to do it. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?

“That’s interesting…” Xiao Yu had been consciously paying attention to the news these past few days. His friend Lakers’ move made global headlines, and he heard about it that same day.

It made him laugh on the spot.

Xiao Yu had anticipated that Amei would suspect Hu Sai, but he truly hadn't expected Hu Sai to step forward and take responsibility, admitting to the crime. Now that Hu Sai had confessed, it was unlikely anyone else would be able to influence things. It was comparable to Duan Zhengchun preemptively acknowledging Xu Zhu as his son; no matter how the abbot tried to explain, no one would believe him, and everyone would assume Xu Zhu was Duan's offspring.

What is this called?
That's what you call word-of-mouth!

The surrounding friends were once again impressed by Lake Sai, admiring him greatly. Not only was he so brave, but he also managed to make that big scoundrel Ah Mei suffer such a big loss.

The guys were secretly envious, because their little brother did something they only dared to think about but would never actually do.

Lakers' brother has definitely made a big splash again this time, making a strong impression all over the world, and his reputation and popularity have skyrocketed.

Upon seeing this news, Xiao Yu was undoubtedly delighted.

As these messages spread to China, they sparked heated discussions among countless netizens.

[Wow, Lakers bro, are you really that brave?]
[The Houthis have managed to accomplish something truly astonishing, daring to challenge the US; I truly admire them!]
[The Slipper Army is truly impressive! Their indomitable spirit is one of the most precious qualities in the world today.]
[This is a real man, a true fighter, awesome!]
[Even the regular army wouldn't dare mess with them, yet a bunch of slipper-wearing soldiers showed off their prowess. Putting everything else aside, their courage is truly unmatched. The Lakers guys are really something.]
[With America's aircraft carriers dominating the Middle East for so many years, the Lakers' willingness to fight undoubtedly breaks through America's "iron curtain" of military deterrence, and the situation is about to change drastically.]
[My Lakers buddy's in a bit of trouble. I feel like Amei (Ah Mei) will get her revenge sooner or later.]
[Old Mei is still too inexperienced and doesn't realize the seriousness of the issue. At this time, he's still releasing photos to clarify that the aircraft carrier wasn't hit. It seems Old Mei doesn't know the story of "Duke Zhuang of Zheng shooting an arrow at the Zhou emperor," nor does he understand that Duke Zhuang's arrow wasn't meant to kill the Zhou emperor, but rather to strike at the sacred and inviolable majesty of the emperor.]
Indeed, often, symbolic strikes are not intended to cause significant actual harm, but rather to declare to the world: this power can be challenged.
[Seriously, I'd be better at this than her. The right thing for Old Ma (referring to a Chinese actress) to do right now isn't to issue a clarification—that's a foolish move—but rather to take a firm stance and fight back to maintain her authority. But to be fair, isn't it a bit of a happy surprise to see Old Ma act so recklessly?]
……

Domestic netizens are all impressed with Lakers, exclaiming that he's really fierce, having previously attacked cargo ships and frigates, and now even daring to attack aircraft carriers.

However, netizens at the same time thought Ah Mei's response was extremely foolish and shook their heads in disbelief.

Everyone thought of the historical anecdote of Duke Zhuang of Zheng shooting an arrow at the Zhou emperor thousands of years ago. Whether or not the arrow hit the target is no longer important. Those who want to believe it hit the target can believe it hit the target, and those who want to believe it didn't hit the target can believe it didn't hit the target.

However, Ah Mei's sacred and inviolable dignity suffered a heavy blow at this moment. Her international prestige plummeted, and her dignity was certainly swept away. This undoubtedly made people around the world feel that Ah Mei's dignity had been challenged and strongly impacted.

Instead of launching a swift counterattack, Ah Mei posted a picture to clarify, but within hours it was revealed that the picture was from several months ago.

It can only be said that a nation established by pirates ultimately lacks true cultural foundation. Otherwise, Ah Mei should understand that whether or not to fight China or clarify the situation is not important. What is important is how to rebuild her authority in the world.

Otherwise, wherever Ah Mei goes, she'll get attacked by fearless armed men, and she won't be able to handle it.
Lakers' brother pulled off this stunt, drawing worldwide attention. Amei figured this couldn't be kept secret for long, since the aircraft carrier needed maintenance, and maintenance required funding.

Two days later, Ah Mei responded again.

However, the angle of this response was also tricky, and Ah Mei shamelessly boasted about it: Although our aircraft carrier was attacked and lost many carrier-based aircraft, we did not cause any casualties.

Far from being ashamed, Ah Mei actually gave the impression to onlookers around the world that she was quite self-satisfied.

She clearly got beaten up and suffered a setback, but people who didn't know the situation would think that Ah Mei had won big. This whole operation even fooled herself, leaving all the onlookers stunned.

However, this action is quite in line with A-Mei's style.
