Chapter 1060: Taking the Air to Intimidate the Sharp
Appearing on the opposite side was a joint air and sea fleet consisting of more than one hundred airships, nearly thirty warships, and five airship mooring ships.
The Federation has deployed two fleets in the direction of the Western Ocean, one of which is stationed here in Geiserfitu Continent. Now it seems that at least half of them have sailed out, and as soon as they came out, they formed a battle formation, which is a very impolite gesture.
The diplomatic team immediately sent a communication signal to the Federation, but the other side did not respond and remained silent, while all the anti-aircraft artillery and airship guns on the sea were pointing forward.
Although they knew that the Federation was unlikely to choose to attack the diplomatic team from Dashun, many of the civilian staff accompanying the delegation could not help but look nervous.
The airships and warships of Haidong Road made them feel at ease and proud, but the enemy's army made them very uneasy.
Inside the main airship, the staff immediately made a suggestion to Captain Xie, "Captain, the opposing fleet has adopted an attacking posture. Their intentions are unclear. To ensure the team's safety and avoid conflict, we suggest changing course immediately!"
The two deputy group leaders also looked serious, but they didn't say anything at this time.
But Captain Xie didn't ignore them. Instead, he asked them, "Director Lu, Director He, what do you think?"
The two looked at each other, and Lu Guangde said with full energy: "I obey the team's opinion!"
He Yishan thought for a moment and said, "Captain, we must think carefully about this. We must consider the safety of our team members."
Captain Xie didn't make a decision right away. Instead, he clicked on the lower realm pass and said, "Set up a separate encrypted information channel for me and Director Chen."
Chen Chuan stared at the fleet opposite. On their side, the escort fleet also urgently took up a combat stance. At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly entered his ear.
He took a look and immediately took it in.
"Thank you, Captain?"
Captain Xie said in a serious tone, "Director Chen, you should have seen the situation. My staff advises evading the situation to avoid unnecessary conflict, but I would like to seek your opinion."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Captain Xie, can I ask your opinion first?"
Captain Xie's tone was firm. "I don't think we can avoid it. I've asked the active consciousness, and based on our current direction, we won't cross their military no-fly zone. Our route is fine."
He took a breath and continued, "I've dealt with the Federation many times. Whether it's the East Coast Party or the West Coast Party, they're all the same at heart. As soon as we give in, they'll think we're weak and easy to bully, and then take even more extreme actions.
As a visiting delegation, we deserve courtesy. This is our right. If they don't give it to us, then we should ask for it ourselves. I believe that everyone who is able to become a member of the visiting delegation should have this awareness.
Chen Chuan nodded. Dashun might be constrained from various sides when handling internal affairs, but it has always been extremely tough towards the outside world and would never back down in this regard, even if the other party might really attack.
He said, "Captain Xie, I agree with you. We are the invited party and there is no reason for us to be treated like this. I think we should keep our course unchanged and continue moving forward."
Captain Xie said, "Then we will pass through their flight formation."
Chen Chuan's response was concise and clear: "Then go through it!"
Captain Xie nodded. After receiving confirmation from Chen Chuan, he looked up and gave orders to the airship formation, saying, "Maintain the same flight direction and speed."
"Yes, the course remains unchanged, the speed remains unchanged!"
At the Linax Federation delegation, Olin saw the choice made by the Dashun Diplomatic Corps and almost whistled. Fortunately, he was very concerned about his dignity. He said, "It's very bold. I like it very much."
Cassian said, "This leader, like other Dashun diplomats, is as tough as ever. I think we should use a tactful approach when dealing with him."
Olin shrugged and said, "Yes, at present, the only way we can get what we want is to stabilize Dashun, at least before the cooperation is completed." As for the West Coast Party, they didn't care at all.
"Then let's follow them. I hope they don't beat us up too."
"Don't worry, my friend. We may go through a test, but don't forget, we just got a guarantee." Olin said in a relaxed tone.
"Your will, my beloved Commander and Palace Master."
Chen Chuan came to the box of the external implant and opened it. He didn't expect that he would need it so soon.
He took off his hat and outer uniform, then walked into the implant through the crack on the back. The implant quickly closed. He reached out and tore off the coverall, put it on, and then turned to look at the opposite side.
As his field spread, a dark golden light curtain dropped from the top of his helmet, and words flashed on the mask, marking the model of the opposite airship and the distance between them.
He reached out and pulled out the Snow Lord Sword, walked out of the main cabin, stood on the deck of the airship, and said, "First row forward."
The guards on either side looked at him in awe, while the messenger in the back yelled into the communication channel: "First line forward!"
As the order was given, the propeller on his airship turned rapidly, accelerating forward, and soon arrived at the front of the entire airship fleet.
At this time, he saw something similar to hot air balloons floating on both sides of the opposite airship. It was actually made up of a bunch of nerve tentacles entangled together, wrapped in a thin film. He immediately recognized it as the famous biological weapon "Strange Eyes" on the West Coast.
This thing can be used for long-distance sensing and reconnaissance, and is especially sensitive to the fighter's field and the breath of creatures in the fusion area.
Chen Chuan just cast a glance over there, and those strange pupils began to tremble violently. At this moment, strands of information were transmitted along the field to the command posts in various parts of the fleet.
At almost the same moment, inside the Gaiserfitu Continental Military Base, Admiral Commander Richard Z. Harrington looked seriously at the figure displayed on the field screen.
The external implant was particularly eye-catching, and what made his gray eyes unable to move was the huge figure that seemed real and illusory behind the person displayed in the field.
At this moment, he received a report from above. His eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice, "Notify the troops at the front! No firing without orders!"
In the sky, as the Dashun airship formation gradually approached, nerves on both sides unconsciously tensed, as if a battle was imminent. The machine gunners who had their sights on the target were already getting ready to move.
But at this moment, an urgent voice came from the channel: "Stop! No one is allowed to open fire without orders!"
"I repeat, no one is allowed to open fire without orders!"
As soon as this order was given, everyone paused, but without receiving any further orders, they could only remain motionless.
The Dashun fleet continued to move forward, and to be on the safe side, the machine guns of their escort fleet were also aimed at the opposite side.
Soon, the two sides closed to within a kilometer, getting closer and closer, almost on the verge of a collision. This situation was like each side pointing its artillery at the other's head, extremely testing each other's patience. If even one of them accidentally discharged, it would inevitably lead to a brutal close-range air battle.
At this time, not only the Dashun side, but also the officers and soldiers on the federal side had tense faces. At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen.
Both sides were staring at each other, watching their airships gradually approaching. As the main ship that Chen Chuan was on inserted into the gap of the federal fleet, the airships behind also entered the queue one by one and passed each other. During this process, the soldiers on both sides could even see the subtle changes in each other's expressions.
The civilian personnel on the Dashun ship seemed to be able to hear the rapid breathing coming from themselves and their companions at this moment.
Tao Huiya and her husband were standing by the porthole. She could feel the latter's body trembling slightly, but he still hugged her tightly and comforted her, saying it was okay.
She reached out and patted the back of her husband's hand, saying comfortingly, "Lao Li, it's okay."
In the federal fleet below, most of the soldiers and officers were staring at the sky. They watched the two airship fleets in the sky approach each other, then intertwine together, and then separate.
On the Federation side, both the officers on the fleet and the senior commanders in the base were keeping their eyes fixed on the figure standing in the front of the airship fleet, shrouded in a straw hat and a smock, holding a long sword.
Everyone's face was stern.
They did have the purpose of deterrence by making such a display, and it would be best if they could force the other party to change their route, but they did not expect that there was a Secret Hall fighter in the opposing delegation.
If it was an ordinary fighter, they would not be afraid, and it would not be impossible to find him in the base.
But a fighter at the Secret Palace level, because of his abundant energy, could theoretically destroy their army alone.
There are no fighters of this level in their base. The main reason is that this is theoretically the front line of the confrontation. If a strong fighter appears on one side, the other side must follow up, and the investment will continue to increase, so everyone consciously maintains restraint.
The information of every member of the Dashun diplomatic team should be reported and the source should be noted, but this time the intelligence was obviously delayed.
Just five minutes ago, they had just received an information update from the federal capital, changing Chen Chuan's title from a fighter without any prefix to a Secret Hall fighter. It was obvious that the East Coast Party did it on purpose this time.
General Harrington's adjutant walked aside and picked up the microphone: "The storm failed to drive away the seabirds. Please give the general's regards to the saint." After that, he gently hung up the phone.
