Chapter 1710 - 1711: Secret Satisfaction
"Enemy attack!"
An unusually sharp alarm sounded across the airbase.
Countless surface-to-air missiles, trailing long tails of flame like sharks smelling blood, shot toward the five fighter jets.
However, strangely, the accuracy of these missiles was astonishingly poor; they all missed and then exploded loudly in the sky.
Yang Fei had taken control of the central computer of the base. The data of these tracking missiles, which were automatically launched, had been tampered with and were in complete disarray—how could they possibly hit the fighter jets?
Yang Fei chuckled, controlling the plane's joystick, gliding askew like a great bird over the spy base.
He then launched a missile straight at the giant umbrella system device.
Boom!
The system device exploded, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, black smoke billowed, and billions worth of military spy equipment vanished into thin air.
With a successful strike, Yang Fei didn't linger; the fighter jet carved a long arc and shot forward like lightning.
Behind Yang Fei, the other four fighter jets formed a neat line, each dropping a missile and then swiftly disappearing over the horizon.
...
The armed conflict on Li Island shocked the world.
The Red Shirt Army, originally obscure, rose over thirty places in the global mercenary rankings after this skirmish.
All at once, the world's media reported extensively on this terrifying armed uprising on Li Island.
Renowned critics and journalists worldwide roused with vigor, publishing a series of news commentaries.
Numerous famous media figures believed that the long-debated independence issue of Li Island had clearly taken a stand with this local conflict, completely breaking away from the authorities of Sang Country.
Among them, the Mysterious Country's Li Island Airport troops and the Aventi Spy Base were leveled to the ground, appearing as a case of collateral damage.
The destruction of the Aventi Spy Base was secretly satisfying to countless East Asian countries.
No country wanted such a thing at its doorstep, not even the Sang Country authorities.
Thus, more comments and attention focused on the five fighter jets that destroyed the Aventi Spy Base.
However, no matter how outsiders speculated, they couldn't understand the situation at all.
These five fighter jets originally belonged to the Mysterious Country's Li Island faction, so why would they turn against them, flying over twenty kilometers to destroy the Aventi Spy Base?
The Mysterious Country's Military Department furiously issued a public statement, severely condemning the Li Island incident.
The Mysterious Country's Military Department stated that the Li Island incident was a severe terrorist attack, undermining world peace and maliciously provoking the dignity of the Mysterious Country.
The Mysterious Country's Military Department, through 32 global media outlets and more than 50 mainstream television stations, pledged to resolutely combat the Li Island terrorists and vowed to not rest until the perpetrators were caught.
Meanwhile, the Sang Nation Military also issued a public statement.
It declared that Li Island is an inseparable part of Sang Country, and any attempts to divide or seek independence for Li Island would face relentless and vigorous opposition from the Sang Government Office.
On the third day of the Li Island incident, at the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions Headquarters, the biting cold wind made the military flags flap vigorously.
Wu Yuanzhong strode into the headquarters' entrance, without returning the salutes of the two warriors at the door—a rare occurrence for someone who cherished his soldiers like children.
The two guards behind Wu Yuanzhong jogged to keep up, nearly unable to catch up with the spry veteran General Wu.
Wu Yuanzhong, striding with long steps, quickly entered the headquarters office building and then pushed open the headquarters office door.
Inside the office, Political Commissar Dai Jili was reading a newspaper, seemingly engrossed.
Upon seeing Wu Yuanzhong rush in, Dai Jili stood up quickly.
"Old Wu, what's wrong? Did you quarrel with your wife again?"
"Pah, can't you wish me and your sister-in-law well? Jinx!"
Wu Yuanzhong glared and cursed, then sat heavily on a chair like a drum.
"Have you contacted Yang Fei?"
Dai Jili shook his head: "No contact. All the agents from the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions have been dispatched, but there's no news of General Yang and the Evil Dragon Reserve Team."
Wu Yuanzhong sighed in disappointment, his face full of worry.
"I'm sure the bombing of the Aventi Spy Base is definitely linked to that kid."
"Damn it, this Demon Lord of Mayhem dares to do anything."
At this, Wu Yuanzhong couldn't help but laugh heartily, slapping the table.
"What a relief. Ever since that damned Aventi Spy Base was built, it's been a thorn in my heart. Now it's comfortable."
Dai Jili cautiously watched Wu Yuanzhong and reminded him.
"But this matter is significant; relevant leaders of defense and diplomacy have already called to inquire about it."
Wu Yuanzhong snorted, placing his hands on his hips with no regard for image, raising his head.
"Anyway, we'll just claim ignorance. Even if they find evidence, what of it?"
"My soldiers, if anyone dares touch them, I'll fight them."
Dai Jili looked at the fiercely protective old general speechlessly, sighing.
"It's fine to say such things at our headquarters, but don't let it slip out."
Wu Yuanzhong snorted, "Even at world's end, I'd say the same."
"That kid did this big thing; no one can make him suffer."
At this moment, the office phone suddenly rang. Dai Jili walked over, and upon glancing at the phone code, his expression changed.
Wu Yuanzhong turned around, looking at Dai Jili's face, and was suddenly puzzled.
"Whose call is it that makes you look so bad?"
Dai Jili forced a smile: "Speak of Cao Cao, and he arrives. It's likely Yang Fei's call, the last digits are 421."
Wu Yuanzhong shivered, jumped over directly, grabbing the phone from the table before Dai Jili.
Over the phone, Yang Fei's familiar mischievous laugh came through.
"Old Lady Wu, long time no see. How have you been?"
Upon hearing, Wu Yuanzhong realized it was Yang Fei, and his heart instantly settled.
"Little Bird Yang, you've been dishonest. How long has it been since you reported to headquarters?"
Although Yang Fei was temporarily on leave, Wu Yuanzhong required him to report to headquarters at least once a month.
On the other end, Yang Fei laughed: "Old Lady Wu, stop giving me that official talk."
"Are you trying to ask if the bombing of the Mysterious Country's Aventi Spy Base has anything to do with me?"
Wu Yuanzhong was momentarily dumbfounded, then lowered his voice: "Little Bird Yang, be honest. Was it you?"
"No, I'm idle and bored, why would I stir up that hornet's nest? The Chinese Intelligence Bureau agents, when they go wild, will do anything."
Yang Fei denied it outright, as if crunching on five-spice beans.
Wu Yuanzhong became furious: "You're being dishonest; when did you ever care about those little Chinese Intelligence Bureau fish? Was it you or not?"
