Stop Fooling the Us, China Really is Doing This!

Chapter 152 What new gadgets has the Dragon Kingdom invented?The Pentagon. In the command room, the atmosphere was as heavy as a lead weight pressing on everyone’s chest.

The US Secretary of State sat on a wide yet cold-looking chair, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the live broadcast screen.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His exquisite tie now seemed to have become a shackle restricting his breathing, making his breaths slightly rapid.

At this moment, only ten minutes remained of the twelve-hour deadline set by the Dragon Kingdom. For the Secretary of State, every second of these ten minutes felt like a stretched rubber band.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest unconsciously. Although he was still pretending to be calm on the surface, maintaining his usual arrogant demeanor, deep down he felt like a lonely boat in a storm, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Previously, they had been quite confident, guessing that the Dragon Kingdom would obediently retreat after seeing their declaration!

However, as they watched time slip away bit by bit, the Dragon Kingdom’s fleet seemed like executioners waiting for their sentence, with no intention of retreating at all!

At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, his brow seemingly twisted into a dead knot, and he pondered secretly in his heart, which felt like a tangled mess.

”The Dragon Kingdom’s fleet hasn’t withdrawn yet. Do they really intend to go head-to-head with us?”

”What do they have to rely on?”

”Do they think they can withstand our two carrier strike groups with just three warships?”

”Are they crazy?”

This question hovered and wandered in his mind like a ghost.

Not only him, but the other high-ranking officials in the command room also had a trace of shock on their faces at this moment! They seemed startled by the Dragon Kingdom’s current boldness!

Was this still the peace-loving Dragon Kingdom? According to past situations, shouldn’t they have already packed up and retreated?

What was going on here? Did they really want to start a war with them? They couldn’t understand it!

Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom issued a new announcement!

”In view of the pirates’ stubborn refusal to surrender and their failure to cherish the opportunity we provided!”

”In this regard, we can only take necessary measures and launch an attack against them!”

”Unrelated vessels, please evacuate the target waters immediately!”

”Do not say we didn’t warn you!”

Upon seeing this announcement, the USA personnel were slightly taken aback at first, but then the corners of their mouths curled up slightly, that arc full of disdain and contempt.

The Secretary of State was speechless: ”This is hundreds of nautical miles away from our naval base!”

”From so far away, what is the Dragon Kingdom going to use to attack?”

”Are they going to use their heads?”

”They don’t even draft their lies before bragging!”

He mocked inwardly, his arms crossed even tighter, as if this could give him a bit more confidence.

The others also felt that the Dragon Kingdom was bragging!

Smith, the Director of the Intelligence Agency, thought at this moment: ”Could they have some other motive?”

Everyone couldn’t help but frown, but after thinking for a long time, they still couldn’t figure out if the Dragon Kingdom really had any other motive!

At this moment, the voice of a high-ranking official suddenly rang out!

”Look, everyone, the Dragon Kingdom’s warships are moving!”

Following his voice, they looked and discovered that in the image, the Dragon Kingdom’s warships were indeed moving. They saw the warships, which had originally been lying dormant like steel beasts, slowly start their engines, the water stirred up by the propellers creating layers of white ripples on the sea surface.

Seeing this scene, the Secretary of State first widened his eyes, and a surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart. Then, the arc of his mouth became even more pronounced: ”Has the Dragon Kingdom finally... finally failed to hold on and is about to run away?”

However, fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people. He had guessed wrong again!

Those three Longwei-class Strategic Warships, after merely adjusting their direction, stopped steadily once again.

Time in this tense atmosphere seemed to have been pressed with a fast-forward button, or perhaps it had become incredibly slow as if enchanted. Finally, the 12 hours slipped away from their fingertips like quicksand.
