Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Daddy, if we join forces to fight their combined fleet, why leave a portion behind? Wouldn't it be better to annihilate them completely?"

On New Year's Eve, He Mingzhong's children and their families returned to the port city.

"Killing the little eagle all at once is not in our best interest, nor can we control everyone. Malaysia cannot control everything, nor can our hometown people."

We still need to use the young eagles as the first to be targeted and scare them into submission. There is no way for Malaysia to become the leader in every aspect.

However, this battle should also serve as a warning to everyone about Malaysia's strength, and to make them think twice before trying to take any wrong actions against any of our overseas businesses.

Force can never solve everything; it will only breed hatred. By diverting hatred, we can quietly make a fortune.

Hatred should be minimized. Some people, once they go mad, are capable of anything, such as terrorist attacks, making it impossible for a country to defend against them.

When the time is right, we will get whatever we want. People are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm; let them choose what is better for them.

"I understand that, but I'm annoyed by the way those little eagles are swaggering around everywhere. I want to give them a good beating."

"You can't act impulsively. You have to think things through before you do anything. You have to maximize your benefits. The higher your position, the greater your responsibility."

This time you don't need to show your face. This happened during the election period; it's not your responsibility!

"I hope they come a few more times. The Japanese haven't made a move yet. I wonder when they'll finally get going? Maybe I'll have a chance to teach them a lesson."

"The Japanese will behave themselves within fifteen years, but they won't be able to resist. The little eagles will come again; they're not all inherently aggressive, and they'll always try to take advantage of any benefit."

"Not much to do, a bit boring!"

"Go home and take care of the kids. Don't worry about anything. The best thing is that nothing's wrong. You'll have more opportunities to travel abroad in the future."

"Playing with my own child is fine, but he's still too young, only three months old."

"Daddy, Big Brother, when is the war going to start? Can I join too?"

"Fourth brother, you can't go this time. It's a naval battle. What would a retired army special forces soldier like you do there?"

"They're going to have a naval battle? I'm not going, it's so boring!"

"If you're bored, just stay home and look after the kids. Have a few more kids, and your mom will help you take care of them."

"Mommy, you don't need to. Two kids are already a lot. Too many kids will just be too much trouble."

"It's not like we can't afford to raise them, and you don't need to feed them, so why not have more children?"

"I can't argue with you, sir!"

"Grandpa, we're back." The children who entered the door were He Dao and his rambunctious kids, covered in dirt and with dirty faces, having been playing wildly outside.

"You're back! Did you have fun? Your face and clothes are all dirty, go wash your face and change into clean clothes, then we'll have our New Year's Eve dinner right away!"

"Okay, Grandpa."

"We spoil them all the time, and in less than two hours they're covered in dirt again, rolling around on the ground and running around in the garden."

"They're just kids, they like to play. As long as there's no real danger, let them be."

"It's free-range farming again."

"Daddy likes it, and we like it too. Mommy, the kids are still young, let them go play."

"That's right, Mommy, if you want them to study, you have to wait a year, or you can let them play freely for a few more years. They don't like you anymore."

"He Mingyi, are you asking for a beating again? Watch out, or I'll give you a good thrashing."

"Calm down, it's New Year's Eve, everyone should be happy. Mingyi, you all need to listen to your mother, stop talking back, and we'll talk about it later."

"You're just trying to make me angry!"

In early March, what was bound to happen finally happened: Malaysia and its allies announced a joint military exercise 200 kilometers away.

Codename 'Divine Thunder'!

It also represents justice!

Judge all filth with the thunder of justice!

The exercise involved 43 warships, fewer than the combined fleet of the Kitty Hawk.

However, there are too many kinds of firecrackers, as well as electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons that have been moved to close range, ready to strike the Little Eagles' combined fleet.

When the joint fleet reached within 50 kilometers of the military exercise, it was startled by ten short-range, shore-based firecrackers coming straight at it.

All the firecrackers exploded 200 meters ahead of their forward-row warships, an attempt to halt their advance and a sign that action was underway.

Somewhat unexpectedly, according to their plan, they would make a grand entrance, show off their power, and then go back!

Reality seems to be different!

"Fleet ahead, you are about to enter our exercise area. Please leave immediately, or you will be solely responsible for any consequences!"

A warning came through the communication channel, startling the leader of the Little Eagles, who was none other than the Pacific Navy's top commander.

Retreat is out of the question. They're just bluffing. What can they do if we charge in?

"Send carrier-based aircraft to intimidate them. They don't even have a single carrier strike group, yet they want to stop us from advancing."

"Yes."

The order was given, and the aircraft carriers of the USS Independence, USS Washington, USS Lincoln, and USS Eisen began takeoff.

"When their carrier-based aircraft arrived, we ordered all our drones to take off, four against one to keep a close watch on them. There were still less than 350 carrier-based aircraft."

Multiple drones will circle above their combined fleet, keeping a close watch on all carrier-based aircraft. If they dare to advance, they will be rammed directly.

As soon as the order was given, more than two thousand drones were launched from the sky above the three 30,000-ton amphibious landing ships of Malaysia.

Amphibious landing ships have two modes of operation: one is a full amphibious landing operation mode, which is mainly for transporting troops and equipment, and also has some defensive weapons.

Another type is primarily offensive, with no landing forces; its interior is 80% drone launchers and 20% anti-missile weapons.

All attacks originate from drones. Attacking carrier-based aircraft is standard practice. 50% of drones carry two firecrackers, and 50% of drones have laser cannons mounted on their fuselages.

A drone without a laser cannon is a suicide drone after it "fires" a firecracker.

It can directly attack ships and carrier-based aircraft of all sizes, and can also conduct anti-missile operations. Its maximum range exceeds 1,000 kilometers, making it a trump card in Malaysia's hands.

A fully loaded amphibious landing ship can launch 800 drones, so three ships can launch 2400 drones.

"What are these? So many aircraft, they must be drones. Are their drones capable of being used in large-scale combat?"

"Malaysia has a small population and insufficient air force personnel, so drones are used to compensate for the shortage of air force personnel. The level of drone technology is very high."

"This time we'll give those little eagles a good beating. They still haven't learned their lesson from over forty years ago."

"What's there to be excited about? Without the help of the Malays, we couldn't defeat four carrier strike groups."

"They're really good, Captain. When do we start fighting?" Another battle maniac.

"Don't rush into a fight. Let's see if Little Eagle and his gang know what's good for them. If they dare to advance again, then we'll beat them up. We need a legitimate reason to fight!"

"It's best to play now."

The flagship of the Kitty Hawk, the USS Eisen!

"These people are launching a swarm of drones. There are quite a few of these drones. Do they have the capability to use them on a large scale?"

I don't believe it. It's all just for show. Let's send our carrier-based aircraft to try and blockade us. There's no way they can do that!

"Commander, let's wait and see. If we push them too far, watch out for their 'firecrackers' on shore; there are quite a few Malays among them!"

"Don't worry about it. We're just testing them. We won't use any weapons to attack them. What reason would they have to attack our fleet with shore-based firecrackers?"

We're here to support them, how could we run away when their drones appear? That doesn't fit our strategy!

Send three carrier-based aircraft from the USS Independence to test the drone's capabilities; ideally, they should charge at it!

"Yes."
