Within the South Korean Navy's Operations Department.
Park Sung-il looked at the news with a face full of anger.
"What?"
"They still refuse to let our people come back?"
The South Korean Navy is directly under the Ministry of National Defense and consists of the Navy Headquarters, Operations Command, Marine Corps Command, Logistics Command, Education Command, Reclamation Base Command, and three fleets.
The total strength is nearly 60,000 (including 25,000 Marines), and it is organized into 3 fleet commands.
Park Sung-il is the Chief of the General Staff of the South Korean Navy and concurrently serves as the Commander of the Operations Command, currently holding the rank of four-star admiral.
It's important to know that the highest-ranking officer in the South Korean Navy is the Chief of the Naval Staff.
In other words, the entire South Korean navy was under Park Sung-il's command.
He was the one who contacted Emily for this collaboration.
"Go and contact their fleet commander again."
"I want to speak to him personally."
"Yes, General."
His subordinates immediately went to contact Li Jun, the commander of the aircraft carrier Fujian.
Just after Park Sung-il finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
"Reporting to the General."
"Our shipping lanes were blocked by the Chinese navy."
"They directly designated the entire area outside our East China Sea as their exercise and combat zone."
"If we want to get through, we have to go around the Japanese's cherry blossom sea area."
After receiving Emily's call to assemble, Park Sung-il immediately dispatched two amphibious assault ships, five air defense missile destroyers, 13 missile frigates, and five conventional submarines to the assembly point.
But he never expected the news he received would be like this.
"Damn it, what are they trying to do?"
Why are normal navigation operations being blocked?
"Do they think that's their territory?"
"Wait for my news!" After saying that, Park Sung-il hung up the phone immediately.
He grabbed his coat and walked straight out of the headquarters.
After getting into his car, he said, "To the Ministry of National Defense."
"Yes, General."
Meanwhile, in the Japanese-occupied seas.
The situation is relatively more complicated for the Japanese.
Japan currently has five major naval ports, all located in different places.
Currently, the only targets the Japanese navy at the ports of Sasebo and Nagasaki can be blocked by the aircraft carrier Keijo.
The naval forces at the other bases cannot be stopped due to the sea area.
The Keijo has directly blocked the troops that have set out from the ports of Nagasaki and Sasebo.
Just like the Koreans, the Japanese are now being reported directly to the Prime Minister's Office by the Chief of Staff of the Self-Defense Forces.
Within the South Korean Ministry of National Defense.
Park Sung-il said to the minister.
"They've gone too far; not only are they holding our Cheongju warship hostage, but they're still detaining it."
"Furthermore, during this joint exercise with Emily, they actually blocked our shipping lanes."
"We will not allow our ships to pass through the relevant waters."
Park Sung-il addressed the Minister of National Defense directly.
The Minister of National Defense frowned slightly upon hearing Park Sung-il's words.
He walked straight to the desk and picked up the phone.
"Summon the diplomatic ambassador."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and returned to the sofa, looking at Park Sung-il.
What's the situation with the Kiyosu-class warship?
"Minister, the Kiyosu-class warship was previously conducting patrol missions in the waters outside the East China Sea."
"As you know, there have always been disputes between us and China over the East China Sea issue."
"Their fishermen come to our waters to fish year-round."
"This time, we ran into their aircraft carrier group during a surprise inspection of one of their fishing boats."
"They disarmed our Qingzhou warship directly."
"Captain Park Chang and hundreds of officers and soldiers were captured."
After listening to Park Sung-il's words, the minister frowned slightly.
"Park Chang? Isn't that your son?"
"Ahem, yes, Minister."
"He has just been promoted to captain of the Cheongju warship."
The minister gave Park Sung-il a meaningful look.
"Okay, I understand."
"When the ambassador arrives, I will instruct him to communicate with the Chinese diplomatic authorities as soon as possible."
There was a knock on the office door right after Minister Song Chenghe finished speaking.
"Knock knock knock".
"Come in."
"Minister Song, you wanted to see me?"
The South Korean ambassador came in and asked.
"Come, come, sit down and let's talk!"
After the visitor sat down, Song Chenghe explained the whole story to him.
"Minister Song's intention is to have China return our ships and clear the road."
Is that so?
"I will go back now and immediately send a note to their Ministry of Foreign Affairs requesting this."
"We will resolve this matter as soon as possible!"
···················
Within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
Minister Zhang He sat in his office, leisurely sipping premium Longjing tea.
His days have been incredibly leisurely lately.
When the three foreign ambassadors arrived, they said directly, "Those who are at war, let's talk about diplomacy after you win the war."
Emily, along with diplomats from other countries, saw Zhang He's expression and decided, "I'm not talking to you anymore."
I'll talk to you again when you've calmed down.
"Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring."
The phone on Zhang He's desk rang.
Zhang He, who was tasting Longjing tea, frowned slightly.
