Pakistani marines dragged two people out from behind a sand dune.
The two men were covered in dust and dirt, quite shaken by the machine gun fire.
General Iber stepped forward and twisted the ears of the two drivers.
"Weren't you pretty tough just now? Now you know how to back down? Weren't you refusing to surrender?"
"Does it look good to hang around on my roof all day?"
A series of questions about death,
The two reconnaissance plane pilots were too terrified to speak.
"Take them all back and keep a close watch on them. They really think this place is their own home!"
Seeing the soldiers about to drag the two prisoners away, Su Lin patted Commander Tang's arm.
"Principal Su, what is it?"
"Commander Tang, shouldn't we publish this huge publicity stunt?"
The successful capture of these two pilots was entirely thanks to the HQ-16FE air defense missile system.
Moreover, he was a pilot for the Middle Eastern power; the sheer prestige of that position was undeniable. Once the news got out...
This will inevitably draw strong attention from countries in the Middle East.
"Got it, got it! Let's build a good reputation, but this is our Pakistani brotherhood's internal affair."
"It's not really appropriate for us to interfere like this!"
The reason why the US can engage in small-scale actions every day near the South China Sea and in western China is because...
They're just using the Philippines and India as pawns.
Treat them as they treat you.
"We still have goods to deliver, our Pakistani brothers won't be ungrateful, will they?"
Commander Tang thought for a moment, and agreed with Su Lin.
Pakistan now has no choice but to listen to China; otherwise, if the subsequent air defense missiles cannot be delivered on time...
This HQ-16FE air defense missile system is also just for show.
"General Iber, we can't just let the Middle Eastern bully get away with this so easily, can we?"
Commander Tang lit a cigarette and walked over to General Iber's side.
"Commander Tang, I have no choice, I wish I could tear them to pieces right now."
But with international tensions so high right now, we can't mistreat prisoners!
"That's right, prisoners of war have human rights too, but their portrait rights are unnecessary."
Doesn't Israel claim that its soldiers are all "wild boys"—fierce, strong, and brave in battle?
"Won't this let the whole world see them running away in panic?"
This struck a chord with General Iber.
We've been suffering from reconnaissance aircraft from the Middle Eastern powers lately.
I was just looking for a place to vent my anger, so I took it out on these two prisoners!
"Commander Tang, now that you've said so, what do you suggest we do?"
We'll do as you say! We were only able to capture those two bastards because you were willing to sell us such advanced air defense missile systems.
Since General Iber had said so, Commander Tang did not refuse.
He gave Su Lin a look, letting Su Lin know about this public relations activity.
Su Lin looked at the scattered debris around him.
Unfortunately, the HQ-16FE surface-to-air missile was too powerful; the wreckage on the ground was no longer identifiable as the crash of a reconnaissance aircraft.
However, the military insignia on the two prisoners were quite eye-catching.
"Let them point out the debris on the ground."
"This is a great method, let's strike a few poses while we're at it! Hehe!!!"
General Iber ordered several soldiers to escort the two captured pilots.
Pointing out the scattered debris on the ground,
The entire process was filmed by soldiers from the propaganda department of our Pakistani brothers.
Finally, under the guard of Pakistani marines, he knelt on the ground.
He was still holding up the last remaining wreckage of the E-2C Sir Hawker reconnaissance aircraft.
It was captured in this final scene.
"General Iber, the other side dares to so brazenly cross several Arab countries,
Conducting reconnaissance? That's quite bold!
"Mr. Su, you have no idea, he's been holding press conferences every day, making a scene."
In the past, we had no choice but to swallow our anger.
This time we have to teach them a lesson!
"I think so too. This is extremely demoralizing and must be reported prominently!"
"Yes! Damn it, if Mr. Su hadn't reminded me,
I almost forgot, I also need to show them what their captives look like.
I'll have the guys in the publicity department contact major TV stations right now and get the video broadcast.
Even close-up shots deserve front-page coverage!
Su Lin winked at Commander Tang, and that was how the matter was settled so easily.
The next morning, Pakistan's television station and newspapers...
All reports covered the timeline of the successful interception of the enemy drone and reconnaissance aircraft by the HQ-16FE air defense missile system.
Footage showed the explosion being successfully intercepted.
The final scene depicting the humiliation of the captives was shown without any pixelation, broadcast directly in 1080P high definition.
This immediately attracted global attention.
"Wow! Pakistan has finally won a point!"
"We were lucky, we only shot down a few drones. People who didn't know any better would think we stole the home of the Middle Eastern tyrant!"
"There are still two reconnaissance planes. Didn't you see the follow-up reports? Both prisoners were reconnaissance plane pilots!"
"I heard that this time they used China's air defense missile system. Pakistan has really latched onto its big brother's coattails this time!"
"With one backed by the US and the other by China, the Middle East is likely to be in for some turmoil in the near future!"
The reports from their Pakistani brotherhood quickly reached the ears of Saudi Foreign Minister Judil.
"Minister Judith, have you seen today's news?"
"What's wrong?"
