Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

The little eagle's idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh. Three F-14 Tomcat carrier-based fighters were about to break through the drone encirclement and fly forward.

Three carrier-based aircraft with a top speed of only Mach 2.34 were able to outspeed the first-generation drone, which reached a top speed of Mach 3.5.

Their fate could only be one: under the command of the Malaysian drone command system, they collided with the drone less than two hundred meters away.

perish together!

Moreover, the two small firecrackers carried by the drone exploded directly upon impact.

The only pity was that the three fireworks in the sky during the day weren't dazzling enough; the effect should have been better at night.

Because they were not far apart, the soldiers on both warships saw the three fireworks and their hearts tightened.

As soldiers, they immediately understood that the Malaysian drones could not only be used in actual combat, but also had very mature technology and were much faster than the Kitty Hawk carrier-based aircraft.

The soldiers on deck could clearly see the drones hovering overhead, as well as the two firecrackers on the drones' bellies.

The "double-bang" drones are not large in size, but there are many of them. On average, a warship has twenty drones, which means there are forty small "double-bang" drones that can hit their warships.

Can we do it?

"Warning: Your forces have entered our joint military exercise area. Please return immediately, or you will bear the consequences of any incidents." The warning sounded again.

"What kind of thing is this? A plane collision. The purchase price of one of our F-14D Super Tomcats is more than 60 million. How much does a drone cost?"

How dare they attack our drones directly? Aren't they afraid of actually going to war with us?

"Commander, they may not be afraid to go to war with us. So far, only drones have appeared, and their most powerful shore-based 'double-bang' missiles have not yet appeared."

I think we should retreat ten nautical miles first and then think of other solutions. The drones are lurking overhead, which is a warning and a form of intimidation.

This also shows that they are not afraid of war!

"Retreating is not an option. We'll stand here and confront them without launching any offensive actions. Let's see what they do then. What's the situation with the submarine force?"

"We had eight submarines forced to stop, while they had eleven submarines and ten anti-submarine frigates."

"In that case, we can't do anything? We've given orders that we're not allowed to be in combat mode. I'd better ask my family back home how to handle this."

Perhaps we made the wrong choice to travel thousands of miles to their doorstep to protest.

After the call connected, the commander had a headache. "I've made myself perfectly clear. Our warships can't win. A single swarm of enemy drones would be enough to give us a run for our money."

There are also shipborne weapons and shore-based "firecrackers," but they are all useless. Why insist on saving face and not retreating?

They were really brave enough to fight, holding out for three days and allowing the USS Independence carrier strike group to break through the blockade. Was it worth it for a bunch of ungrateful bastards?

A single Independence carrier strike group costs over 10 billion. What would happen to our 8,000 naval personnel if they dared to open fire?

Those are eight thousand lives. And they forbid us from firing? What kind of orders are these? If they fire, you bastards are the real murderers.

"Little Eagles, decide whether to fight or retreat. Be quick about it. This dawdling is annoying to watch!"

"Hurry up and decide, don't keep me waiting impatiently." Song Lian's sarcastic voice came through the communication channel.

"Haha, General Song is also eager for a battle; he's trying to provoke the opposing commander."

"Fighting a war in peacetime is no easy feat. We've served in the military for decades; if we were discharged without ever fighting a war, we'd be embarrassed to call ourselves soldiers."

"Chief of Staff Bai is right. We've been in the navy for twenty years and haven't fought a single battle. It certainly doesn't sound good if word gets out."

"People die in war. The soldiers are young, but we old bones aren't afraid of death. They still have parents and siblings!"

"Comrade Commander, not a single person was afraid of sacrifice; they all felt it was a very honorable thing."

If we perform a great service, we believe that our family genealogy will be reopened for us, and we will be able to enjoy the first incense offering. None of us are afraid of death; we only care about whether our death is worthwhile.

Now that the Malaysian Navy's elite forces have all come out, even though it wasn't originally their business, they've all come to help us without hesitation. Commander, don't be afraid, crush them!

"Nonsense! We must remember the kindness of the Malays, otherwise we cannot defeat four carrier battle groups plus more than ten other warships."

However, we soldiers must obey orders! We cannot attack without orders.

I also hope General Song starts the fight. He's the Commander-in-Chief of the Malay Armed Forces, and we can't interfere. If the enemy doesn't retreat, we still have a chance to beat them.

Now, all warships are ordered to maintain a high state of combat readiness; they must not be allowed to launch a surprise attack.

"Yes."

When the standoff began, none of us paid any attention. We were only 200 kilometers from home, and we not only had our own supply warships, but sending supplies from our hometown was a piece of cake.

Everyone in the coastal areas has this confidence; the family is becoming stronger and stronger, and logistical support is one example.

Song Lian had already overheard the movements of the USS Independence carrier battle group three days later through a street stalker on the Fifth Ring Road.

Fearing that the troops would lower their guard, everyone was notified until the early hours of the third day, when they received news that the troops had broken through the blockade line two hours later.

"Hahaha, very good. They're really stubborn. Sending a former aircraft carrier battle group to break through our defenses, are they looking for death?"

Orders are issued: all personnel must increase vigilance; the troops are entering a state of first-level combat readiness and must act on command.

At 7:30 a.m., nine warships emerged from the Kitty Hawk naval formation, and satellite surveillance immediately identified them as the USS Independence carrier battle group.

"If they dare to come, let the shore-based weapons fire. Everyone wants to fight too. We can only fight once, and then we'll watch all the other warships die."

"Nine warships aren't enough to fill a tooth gap. Release all drones to monitor the other warships, and activate all anti-missile systems to stand by," Song Lian ordered.

"General Song, Anji is firing 'double-bang' shots. Should we attack or defend?"

"General Liu, it's not easy for soldiers to enlist. If they haven't even fought a single battle, it's hard for them to talk about going home after being discharged."

Let them take this opportunity to launch a salvo, while simultaneously preparing for missile defense. This is a rare opportunity; our soldiers must fight!

"Good!" General Liu smiled and began to arrange the battle plan for his subordinates.

"What is the little eagle doing? Is it sending nine warships to their deaths? Is the carrier battle group worthless, or are the lives of the soldiers on board worthless?"

"Who cares what they're worthless about? Just be grateful you can even fight a war and let shore-based weapons take care of them."

"Indeed, the most important thing is to have the opportunity to punish them. How they deploy their troops is none of our business."

"Order: Coastal troops to strike the invading enemy. Let's see just how strong the Malaysian military equipment is."

"Yes."

The order was given, and the electromagnetic railgun was the first to fire. It would take 90 seconds to hit a target 250 kilometers away, while the laser cannon could reach it in an instant.

The range of laser weapons in Malaysia has been studied to be up to 3,000 kilometers. With a system, anything is possible.

The end of science is metaphysics!

Song Lian was also waiting for the combat system to return to the optimal strike time. Half a minute later, Song Lian gave the order:

"beat."
