Chapter 307: This Is Marianna's Territory (1)
"Lead Ship! Lead Ship! We have an unidentified vessel coming from the 2o'clock direction! Requesting immediate response!" the Oceana's carrier was the first to receive the report. And within minutes after that, more and more report is swarming back to the leading ship.
The Oceana's carrier wasn't the only one to receives such a report. Except for the smaller naval forces like Dongcheng and Han Country, the other two carriers from the Southern States and the Pacific Union also received a similar report from their vanguard ships.
In that instant, fighter jets were scrambled from the respective carrier's runway. At least twenty of them were flying on high alert to identify the arrival of this mysterious vessel.
But nothing was more worrying than the fact such a behemoth-class vessel could be completely hidden under their radar. Even the fighter jets had the issue with their targeting system as they found it impossible to get a proper aim at one spot.
It was like the vessel was built to mess with their system.
"Falcon-1 reporting… The vessel is empty. I repeat, the vessel is empty." the leading jet fighter from the Pacific Union's carrier reported as it was the fastest out of the three superpowers.
"Worthy of being a fighter from the Pacific Union, where their airforce is well known worldwide." Zhang Qin Feng found it difficult to keep the recognition to himself and blurted it out inside the operation room.
"But… That's all to it. Captain…" Zhang Qin Feng gently chuckled after he was done appreciating what was shown to him.
"Yes, Sir!" the captain turned around and faced Zhang Qin Feng.
"After all, the fighter jets approach us, surprise them with some of our weapons. It would be great if we could scare a few of them until they had to change their diapers." Zhang Qin Feng grinned after saying what he had in mind.
"Soldiers. You heard what the boss said. Put on the gear and get ready to scare the sh*t out of them." the captain nodded and returned to his post.
As for Zhang Qin Feng, he reached out to the headgear they're wearing as well.
In an instant, all his surroundings changed. It was like he was standing right outside of the commanding bridge overlooking all around him. Furthermore, the panoramic-view headgear comes with multiple functionalities essential to control the ship.
Sounding in his earpiece were words muttered by the operators while they instructing the department beneath them. It was a complete cycle that kept the Jiaolong-01 running efficiently.
The feeling of being seated alone on top of the commanding bridge while looking at the scattered ships was indescribable. And because the Jiaolong is estimated to be around 1.5m to 2m taller than the five carriers belonged to the Joint Fleet, it appeared like a colossus in their eyes.
"Eagle-1 reporting. The vessel is empty." the fighter from Oceana Alliance arrived a minute later and reported the same thing to its leading ship.
But out of their experience, the Joint Fleet maintained their weapon armed and active towards Jiaolong-01 as a precaution. After their discussion, the Pacific Union's leading carrier soon opened its loudspeaker and tried to communicate with the Jiaolong-01.
"Identify yourself before we're forced to open fire! This is captain of the Pacific Union's Leading Carrier, Gerrard, speaking." both the loudspeaker and open channel communication were directed towards Jiaolong-01.
As the captain spoke, the twenty jet fighters were lowering their altitude to inspect the vessel clearly.
"Raise the turrets," said Jiaolong-01's captain.
They had no idea Zhang Qin Feng's men were waiting for this exact moment. Ten CIWS turrets were deployed on the runway facing the Joint Fleet and two additional CIWS on the vessel's bow. Deep on its hull underwater, ten torpedoes launcher were active and ready to fire at any moment.
The sudden deployment of weaponry on the vessel took the jet fighters by surprise as they immediately scrambled and escaped for their life. Their system's alarm was creating noise nonstop until it almost deafened the pilot to make things even worse.
And the Pacific Union's fighters had it worst.
Due to their proud automated system were suddenly compromise by the influx of threat levels and data, the eight pilots were automatically ejected from their fighters straight into the water or air. There is not even enough time for the pilot to respond before getting thrown out from their cabin.
As for the other twelve jet fighters from Oceana Alliance and the Southern States had it much better. But it was unavoidable that the shock made them peed and sh*t on their seats.
The deployment of CIWS was like a live transformation show. A total of twelve CIWS popped out from their cleverly hiding spot and deployed into a fully working weaponry aiming at them. Furthermore, it was a Quadrupled CIWS system that is more advanced than the Assailant-Class Patrol Ship.
"Bzzt… Joint Fleet… Can you hear me?" the message that the Joint Fleet couldn't hear finally came in. The reading for Jiaolong also came into their radar after the blurry communication message.
"Yes, we hear you. Report!" the communication officer in each carrier quickly responded to the message that came in.
"Ah! Finally. What a pain having to talk with carriers with an older generation of the signal tower. To think that we have to lower our system to its minimal just to communicate with them." the other side finally showed a response after the reply from the carriers came in.
But instead of a reply that the carriers are getting, it was a complaint. A full-fledged, unnoticed complaint that talked about how underwhelming their equipment is.
That unintended message made the head of the five carrier's captains exploded in anger after hearing what the communication officer from Jiaolong-01 said.
"Report yourself! Who is this, and where did you come?" the captain of the Pacific Union's Fleet asked with anger in his tone.
"Where? Captain, this is not a proper attitude to communicate, even if you're the captain from the Joint Fleet." the Jiaolong's communication officer seems to be doing this on purpose.
"Ahem…"
"This is Captain Mason, from the Marianna's Naval Fleet. Currently, I am speaking with all of you within our fleet's Naval-Destroyer-Class Warship, the Jiaolong-01."
"You're currently in the Marianna's Territory. Is there an application of passage with you?" Captain Mason said. As he was trying his best to sound strict, the operators within the room were all laughing as they were literally trying to make a fool of the Joint Fleet.
