#559 - Chapter 559: Unexpected Egula
“Commander, Mr. Will from Austria-Hungary is requesting a call.” Xiao Lin reported.
“Connect it.”
“Mr. Oriental, we've detected your warships in the nearby waters. What's going on?” Will asked.
“Where?” Dongfang Chen asked.
“The Strait of Gibraltar.”
The Strait of Gibraltar is north of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's mainland.
Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment and replied:
“These warships are not mine.”
“Not yours? These warships have the same design and technology as your warships. How could they not be yours?” Will didn't believe it.
“My warships are for sale to the outside world,” Dongfang Chen replied.
“If that's the case, we may take offensive measures at any time.”
“Suit yourself. That's your freedom. But my suggestion is to wait and see.”
“Why?”
“Perhaps their target is Modo,” Dongfang Chen explained.
“Are you sure?”
“Not sure. I'm just suggesting it.”
“What's the reason?”
“Entering the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Gibraltar is the only way to get to Modo,” Dongfang Chen said.
“Then do you think they are enemies or allies?” Will probed.
“Sorry, I don't know,” Dongfang Chen replied.
He couldn't admit that he knew the origin of these warships. Otherwise, the Austro-Hungarian side would think that he had other plans, which would complicate things.
“Then, can you reveal who you sold your warships to?” Will wanted to find out more.
“Sorry, this is user privacy, and I can't disclose it. The only thing I can tell you is that many countries are my customers.”
“Don't you think it's dangerous to sell warships to the outside world?” Will had a bit of a blaming tone.
“I don't think so,” Dongfang Chen retorted directly.
“I understand. We will consider your suggestion,” Will said no more.
“Goodbye!” Dongfang Chen cut off the connection directly.
As for whether Austria-Hungary would attack the Great Sun Nation's warships, Dongfang Chen didn't care.
Attacking or not attacking each had its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of attacking was that it could see the strength of Austria-Hungary and make the play more realistic. The disadvantage was that the warships might be damaged.
The advantage of not attacking was that the warships could pass safely and save time. The disadvantage was that if the Great Sun Nation defected at that time, people would think that he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
In the end, Austria-Hungary gave up the attack.
In their opinion, if they were allies, there was no need to attack. If they were enemies, attacking now would prematurely show their hostile attitude and affect their subsequent actions.
Ironically, they didn't do it, but someone else did.
The one who did it was the Agula Democratic Republic, located on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
As soon as the war started, Dongfang Chen was completely stunned.
The actual situation of Agula was completely different from what was expected.
Countless black aircraft filled the sky.
They moved very fast, attacking 20 warships at the same time.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp ~”
“Buzz, buzz, buzz ~”
Countless laser beams hit the shields, constantly rippling.
“Mr. Tomita, we are under attack!” Nakashige Hiroyuki reported.
“Who is the opponent?” Tomita Sayoko asked.
“It should be the Agula Democratic Republic located on the African continent.”
“How is that possible? How could they have such advanced fighters?” Tomita Sayoko couldn't believe it.
From the monitoring screen, it could be seen that these aircraft were not large in size, were flat, and had a laser gun on each side, with an overall shape of a “mountain” character.
They flew very fast and moved quite nimbly.
From a distance, it looked like a behemoth was being besieged by swarms of bees.
All along, in everyone's impression, Africa represented backwardness. Therefore, after the establishment of the Agula Democratic Republic, all countries naturally ignored it. In addition, they had never spoken out internationally, and were completely forgotten.
“Should we fight back?” Nakashige Hiroyuki asked.
“Forget it. They probably mistakenly thought we were going to attack them, so they chose to attack. Full speed ahead, enter the Mediterranean Sea as soon as possible,” Tomita Sayoko said.
“Yes!”
The location where they were was 7 hours behind China.
It was already 10 p.m. here for Dongfang Chen, but it was 3 p.m. there, still broad daylight.
The Great Sun Nation's warships were sailing fast at sea, and a group of “little bees” surrounded them and hit them hard.
An hour later, this group of “little bees” retreated, and another group appeared head-on.
They didn't seem to be giving up.
Thinking about it, they certainly wouldn't give up.
The southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea was the coastline of Agula.
They were also afraid that these warships would suddenly land on their territory.
Tomita Sayoko asked Nakashige Hiroyuki to try to contact Agula officials and inform them of their route.
Half an hour later, the attack finally stopped.
