Philip Can never imagined, even in his dreams, that the pirates he dismissed as insignificant could have such fierce combat capabilities.
At the very first encounter, before he even figured out what was happening, he was directly shot down.
If it weren't for Philip Can's rich experience, he would have ended up like his companions in those two fighter jets, shot down by Yongfan Island's warships.
The only remaining fighter jet, seeing its three companions shot down, imdiately turned back without saying a word.
The fighter didn't even consider rescuing Philip Can or continuing the mission, knowing that going forward would be a suicidal act.
However, the fighter jet underestimated the combat power of Yongfan Island's warships.
Facing Yongfan Island's warship, it simply didn't have the power to escape.
Boom…
Just as the fighter had flown not far, a missile directly shot it down.
The entire battle lasted just a few minutes.
The combatants.
All four fighter jets sent by the Philippine were shot down; apart from Philip Can, who fell into the sea and was captured by Yongfan Island's navy, none of the other pilots survived.
This battle record is simply too fierce. Not to ntion Philip Can, no one would have thought that four advanced fighter jets would end up with such results against a heavy destroyer.
Such a result is largely due to Ding Fan's Invisibility Talisman, used on the missiles fired from Ding Fan's warship.
That explains why, until the missiles were about to hit them, the pilots realized they were targeted.
After shooting down four Philippine fighter jets, there was no further ard force from the Philippine to intercept.
Previously, they had three warships sunk, followed by four fighter jets shot down.
And yet, the Philippine side didn't manage to even scratch Yongfan Island's warships.
Yongfan Island's warships' combat power is so formidable, how could the Philippine dare to dispatch fighters and warships anymore?
They understood clearly that even if they sent more, it would only serve as target practice for the opponent. Why not just let them go and resolve it through other ans later?
Ding Fan's warships passed the international waters and soon returned to the waters of Yongfan Island.
Mu Zi was truly impressed by Ding Fan at this mont.
She could clearly see as the four fighter jets were shot down, originally believing the battle would be extrely risky, but to her surprise, it ended in less than five minutes with all enemy jets destroyed by Ding Fan.
Ding Fan's military was actually built with Mu Zi's help, yet even she did not anticipate Yongfan Island's ard forces to be so terrifying.
Understand, even the Stars and Stripes Country's navy finds it difficult to benefit from encounters with fighter jets, let alone shooting them all down.
Yongfan Island's warships, once in Yongfan Island waters, didn't directly return to the island. They escorted the cruise ship toward the waters of Huaxia Country.
Given that Yongfan Island hasn't been recognized internationally yet, the special status of Huaxia Country's richest man, arriving at Yongfan Island would not only cause trouble for Huaxia Country but also for Yongfan Island.
Ding Fan's warship escorted the richest man until they t Huaxia Country's warships, at which point Yongfan Island's warships finally turned back.
"Ding Fan, I owe you another favor. You've saved my life twice now," said Ma Teng with a smile as they were about to separate.
Ding Fan smiled without saying anything.
Ma Teng really appreciated Ding Fan's humble personality despite great achievents. "Your Yongfan Island has just gained independence and surely faces many challenges. If you need help, feel free to tell us."
Ding Fan's eyes lit up; the richest person's words clearly conveyed Huaxia Country's stance.
That Huaxia Country will stand by Yongfan Island in international affairs.
Understandably, Huaxia Country currently holds a very high international status, and with their support, many things beco easier.
"Our Yongfan Island is currently building an arms factory and is lacking so rare tals," Ding Fan replied candidly about his difficulties.
Ma Teng smiled. "I'll help you with that when I return to Huaxia Country."
After exchanging a few words, they each headed back.
Mu Zi also returned with mbers from groups Three Five Six Seven.
Ding Fan felt the rescue mission for the richest man was quite successful.
The most crucial part was gaining Huaxia Country's attention on Yongfan Island and showcasing Yongfan Island's prowess to the world once more.
In many people's eyes, Yongfan Island was just an illegal regi established by a bunch of pirates.
But after this incident, the combat strength displayed by Yongfan Island is sothing no one can underestimate, leading Huaxia Country to reassess Yongfan Island's position.
Upon returning to Yongfan Island, Ding Fan didn't rest and visited the arms factory to check its progress.
After these battles, Ding Fan realized the importance of technological power.
Soday, when Yongfan Island can produce missiles that don't require Ding Fan's Invisibility Talisman to beco undetectable, that's when combat capability will truly be enhanced.
Anna, responsible for setting up the arms factory, briefed Ding Fan on the current progress.
The hardware equipnt for the munitions factory is easy to get; the hardest part now is obtaining Rare tals.
After all, military products require Rare tals for many of their components.
Ding Fan reassured Anna for now, telling her to focus on construction, promising that he would definitely solve the problem of Rare tals.
After returning from the munitions factory, Ding Fan went back to his villa again.
Ding Fan is now entangled in worldly matters and rarely has ti to cultivate; whenever he finds so leisure, he seizes the opportunity to train.
Ding Fan's demands for food have beco increasingly minimal. At this point, even if he eats only two als a week, he won't feel anything amiss.
After secluding himself for a week, the door to Ding Fan's room was finally knocked upon.
Outside Ding Fan's villa, a platoon of soldiers is stationed. Usually, everyone knows not to disturb Ding Fan whenever he is in seclusion.
Thus, unless it's an extrely urgent matter, Ding Fan trusts that no one will co knocking.
Ding Fan imdiately went to open the door.
"Island Master, take a look at this..."
The door had just opened when Hu Jin handed a newspaper to Ding Fan.
The newspaper was Huaxia Country's Central Daily, with a prominent headline in the most noticeable spot.
Philippines expresses strong dissatisfaction with Yongfan Island's military actions.
Ding Fan glanced through the content briefly.
It described how Yongfan Island's naval warship intruded into the Philippine mariti area, and when the Philippine navy tried to expel them, Yongfan Island's navy suddenly launched a surprise attack, resulting in the sinking of five Philippine warships and four aircraft being shot down...
Finally, it stated that the Philippines expressed strong condemnation towards Yongfan Island.
After reading this, Ding Fan felt speechless.
They claim Yongfan Island's navy launched a surprise attack.
Back then, it wasn't in the Philippine mariti area—it's international waters. When the Philippine navy ordered Yongfan Island to withdraw, they threatened to shell if not complied.
In that situation, that's when Yongfan Island fired.
First of all, Yongfan Island's navy didn't enter the Philippine mariti area; if they had, that would be an invasion. Secondly, Yongfan Island sank three warships, while the Philippines exaggerated it to five.
Ding Fan genuinely admired the Philippines' audacity, saying bluntly, "Is a protest all they have to offer?" Ding Fan asked Hu Jin after looking at the newspaper.
Hu Jin also felt quite speechless at this ti; it's no small feat when a sovereign country protests against you.
"Philippines demands a reply from Philip Can regarding the uniform and compensation of a billion," Hu Jin said.
Ding Fan scoffed lightly. "Have Ye Ningbing make it clear to the Philippines that they can protest as much as they want, but when it cos to compensation, not a single penny will be paid."
Hu Jin rolled her eyes at Ding Fan. His approach was indeed rather rogue.
"The Philippines is now holding nationwide protests, advocating for military action against us. Their powerful slogans call for teaching the pirates a lesson and restoring national prestige."
Ding Fan waved his hand. "We don't need to pay attention to that; they can cause as much trouble as they want in their own country as long as they don't bring it here."
"Also, there's another matter," Hu Jin said. "I have already communicated with several economic experts, and they have decided to relocate the Huaxia Group from Huaxia Country to here. These are so detailed plans."
Ding Fan took the plan from Hu Jin and flipped through it page by page, which outlined the benefits of relocation along with specific steps.
"You can make the decisions regarding these matters," Ding Fan handed all the materials back to Hu Jin after a quick glance.
Hu Jin is a professional talent after all, and Ding Fan believes she can complete these matters competently.
"General..." As Ding Fan and Hu Jin discussed the relocation of the Huaxia Group, Huang Can walked over.
"We've obtained so intelligence indicating that Vietnam Country and the Philippines have tead up and reportedly plan to conduct military exercises near our mariti area, seemingly targeting us."
Military exercises?
Vietnam Country and the Philippines have suffered losses at his hand before, so this joint drill is undoubtedly targeting him.
Ding Fan often watches the news; these countries like to use such thods to intimidate their opponents.
"Have Ye Ningbing hold a press conference to define our own Mariti Boundary. If any vessel crosses it, no words are needed—just greet it with a missile," Ding Fan said indifferently.
Hu Jin is gradually getting accustod to Ding Fan's thods of handling matters.
Ding Fan's way of dealing with things, although simple and brutal, is highly effective.
Otherwise, after Yongfan Island declared independence, so many surrounding countries didn't dare utter a word but rely watched.
"I'll go down and arrange for Ye Ningbing to hold a press conference," Hu Jin said.
Ding Fan then addressed Huang Can standing nearby. "Tell the troops below, as long as they cross the boundary, don't bother with anything—just beat them senselessly."
"Understood!"
