On a South Korean destroyer.
Park Jin-eun received the order from the military exercise command and looked quite grim.
This exercise is located on the edge of China's borders, and to reach the designated location on time, it is necessary to cross the Chinese exercise area in front of it.
Crossing through China's military exercise area? Are you kidding me?
China's warships and aircraft are just for show; he came to provoke us, not to die!
However, Park Jin-eun's gaze shifted to the orders. Military orders are no joke; if disobeyed, one could really be sent to a military court, and those Americans wouldn't be lenient.
Above the warship, the Chinese J-15 fighter jets have issued their third warning and have already activated their fire control radar, creating a tense and deadly atmosphere!
"We can't go any further. If we do, the Chinese military aircraft will really open fire." Park Jin-eun pondered to himself; it was a difficult choice.
His adjutant was also asking him, "Captain, what should we do? Continue forward or turn around?"
Park Jin-eun's mind raced as he considered a solution.
Just then, a crew member frantically pushed open the command room door and said urgently, "Captain, the radar has malfunctioned and is on fire!"
"Fire! Quickly notify the firefighters to put it out!" Park Jin-eun hurriedly ordered, and was about to turn around to take command.
He had just taken a step when a thought struck him, and a look of delight appeared on his face. "Great! This fire is starting well!"
Everyone in the command room stared at him in utter bewilderment upon hearing this.
The captain of his own warship caught fire and looked happy. Has he lost his mind?
"I'll explain later. For now, let's get the fire under control." Park Jin-eun glanced at everyone, offered no explanation, and walked out of the cabin first.
Under Park Jin-eun's command, the fire on the destroyer burned for two full hours, severely damaging important equipment such as radar and fire control systems.
To prevent further explosions, he also ordered all weapons to be thrown into the sea.
Strangely, there was almost no loss of the power system or personnel.
Looking at the devastated destroyer after the fire, Park Jin-eun was in high spirits. He said to his dejected deputy, "Report to the exercise command that during the confrontation with Chinese military aircraft, the radar, which was old and in disrepair, caught fire due to overload. The fire was extinguished thanks to the efforts of all crew members. There were no casualties. However, the destroyer was severely damaged and has lost its combat capability. We request to return to base for repairs."
Upon hearing this, the deputy's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. His previously dejected face instantly became excited: "Captain Park, you are so clever! This gives us a reason not to carry out the exercise command's order to go to our deaths. This is a good start, it came at the perfect time!"
After listening, Park Jin-eun's lips curled up slightly, but his expression remained as calm as a mountain as he said, "Go and carry out the order."
Soon, a report was sent to the exercise command that the South Korean warship was unable to continue participating in the military exercise due to a fire.
Aquillio looked at the report in his hand, especially the damage to the warship, his face darkening.
Of all times, the fire broke out right after he gave the order to continue advancing.
Even he himself wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on!
However, Park Jin-eun's reason was also quite valid: due to the standoff with Chinese military aircraft, the radar overloaded and caught fire!
For a moment, Aquililo really couldn't find a reason to refute it.
In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept the application, but he also ordered an investigation into the fire.
With the South Korean warships no longer leading the charge, Aquilino turned his attention to the warships from Canada and Japan participating in the military exercises, wondering who else he could persuade to test China's bottom line.
"Those people are complete lunatics; we can't use their warships."
Recalling the recent actions of the Japanese-American captain of the DDG-83 destroyer, Ikawa, Aquillio shook his head, ruling out the fleet that was considered less important.
That Yichuan actually lied and claimed that he had been attacked by the Chinese navy, demanding immediate authorization to open fire in retaliation. If the command hadn't noticed the abnormality and restrained him in time, this man might have succeeded in his gamble, dragging both China and the United States into a large-scale naval war.
Aquillio considered himself a war fanatic, but not a madman.
If we send smaller, less experienced people, they might take the initiative to attack, which would put the US at a disadvantage!
That leaves only the Maple Leaf Kingdom's warships.
As for the US warships, they are so valuable, why would we put them in danger!
Soon, Aquilino's orders were given to the Maple Leaf Kingdom's warships.
However, to his disbelief, less than ten minutes later, he received a reply from the Maple Leaf Kingdom captain stating that he was unable to carry out the order.
"Your Excellency Commander Aquilino, our warships have traveled thousands of miles to reach this point, and the crew members are unwell, possibly suffering from seasickness, and are unable to carry out orders! Please understand, Your Excellency."
seasick!
Aquillio was so angry when he saw the reason given by the Maple Leaf Kingdom captain that he almost lost his nose!
You're a damn Navy guy, a Navy guy!
Seasickness? Navy personnel get seasick? You're kidding me!
However, he also realized that this was just the excuse used by the Maple Leaf Country captain to avoid carrying out a mission that provoked China.
Aquilliro took two deep breaths to calm his anger, frowning as he pondered how to deal with these disobedient fellows.
After a moment, he gave a wry smile, realizing he really didn't have any good ideas.
Unlike the United States and South Korea, which are nominally allies, the United States has a more vassal state-like status, with command of their armies held by the United States.
