Salute To The General

In the middle of the sea, Max stood on the deck of Ariarica's aircraft carrier, looking all smug.

Behind him, insignia glittered off military uniforms, all of them globally-renowned generals in the Ariarica military.

Around the aircraft carrier were tons of corvettes, and further out were ships belonging to Ariarica's allies. It was a grand sight that made an imposing display.

Their fighter jets soared in the air, while their submarines glided under the sea.

The lineup of the joint military exercise this time could be described as luxurious.

It was no exaggeration to say that the battle gear for their military exercise then was sufficient to lay waste to the majority of the small and mediumsized countries in the world.

Right that moment, Max's deputy, Shearson, reported deferentially, "Admiral Max, we're approaching Eurasia's waters. Should we stop here or continue forward?"

According to the usual practice, the

entry of military troops into another country's territory was tantamount to an invasion. It was an exceedingly grave matter.

However, Max wasn't the least bit bothered about that.

He lifted his chin and ordered arrogantly, "Continue forward and enter their waters to conduct our military exercise. Only then will our simulated military exercise be meaningful. Besides, we're here this time to put pressure on them. Entering their waters will terrorize them even more and create greater fear."

"Understood, Admiral Max! But Admiral Max, should we notify Eurasia that we're entering their waters to prevent any misjudgment?" Shearson inquired.

In response, Max sneered, "We're sailing freely, so why should we notify them? Are we supposed to gain their approval? Are they even worthy of it? As for the misjudgment you mentioned, I don't think it'll happen. They don't have the guts to go head-to-head with us. At most, they'll only protest verbally."

"All right, then. I'll do as per your instructions, Admiral Max," Shearson replied.

Soon, Max's order was conveyed to all the ships, including those of its allies.

But as soon as their ships entered Eurasia's waters, their airborne early warning aircraft and sonar vessels started blaring frenziedly.

Sweating profusely, Shearson dashed over and reported to Max in a panic, "Bad news, Admiral Max! A large number of armed forces appeared right ahead, and foreign fighter jets appeared in the sky! The movement of foreign submarines has also been detected underwater!"

Max and his subordinates were all stunned to hear that, their eyes almost popping out of their heads.

"Could it be that Eurasia's Southern Fleet came out in full force?" Max quickly demanded.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"That's uncertain for the time being

but their fleet is titanic. From the

current look of things, their Se

on par with our joint military exercise this time," Shearson admitted.

Once again, shock deluged Max and the others.

"Don't tell me they mobilized both the Southern and Eastern Fleets, using the whole of their naval forces to battle us?" Max exclaimed. "That is possible," Shearson reckoned.

By then, Max's astonishment had

already passed. Calming down

entirely, he scoffed, "Haha!

Interesting! But even if the Southern and Eastern Fleets are all

dispatched, they might not

to get

into a combat stance. Fighter jets are to take flight while submarines are to attack. Airborne early warning aircraft and sonar vessels are to deploy as well."

"Understood!" Shearson answered.

No sooner had Ariarica and its allies got into a combat stance than they received another piece of news-the naval forces ahead were indeed on par with theirs in terms of

comprehensive strength.

Furthermore, it wasn't the Eastern and Southern Fleets as they had previously surmised, but the Southern Fleet and Remdik's Pacific Ocean Fleet. "What? Remdik's Pacific Ocean Fleet is here as well? When did Remdik collaborate with Eurasia?"

Max was both shocked and enraged upon learning that the armed forces ahead were a combination of Eurasia and Remdik's forces. That was wholly beyond his expectation and had him at a loss.

The news of Eurasia and Remdik teaming up didn't stun Max alone.

Instead, all of Ariarica's allies were staggered.

Eurasia, the Dragon of the East, is already difficult enough to handle. Why did a War Bear appear out of nowhere? Are we any match when a dragon and a bear join forces?

All at once, Ariarica and its allies lost their sense of complacency when they first set out. Instead, they grew terrified.

Their fear was so great that they even started to regret having involved themselves in that mess.

At that very moment, Nathan was standing on the EU South, giving orders to Zach at the side.

"Warn the intruders ahead that they have entered our waters and order them to turn around and leave immediately! There's no room for negotiation." "Understood!" Zach replied.

He then promptly instructed his subordinates to warn the intruders ahead via wireless communication.

"You have invaded our nation's waters. Please turn around and leave immediately or bear the consequences!"
