Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Navy Fleet’s First Appearance in the World!

Laputa City.

Big Funnel, the top-level luxury banquet hall.

The entire venue was in complete chaos, with various discussions rising and falling.

”Oh my God! I think these people must be crazy to do something so inhumane. I represent the Rockefeller Clan to strongly condemn these people!”

At the table at the front of the venue, Old Rockefeller, esteemed and respected, spoke heavily to the guests at the same table, his face full of indignation.

”I agree with David. Jade Island has made significant contributions to the world’s technological development and should not suffer such unfair treatment. The Mellon Clan will always stand with Jade Island!” Thomas Mellon, beside him, also expressed a look of discontent, speaking up.

Under the leadership of the two, the other guests at the table also began to express their indignation.

Just like that, in no time, all the guests present expressed their stance.

That is, they were willing to stand with Jade Island and jointly resist the harassment from external forces.

On the other side, after seeing everyone’s performance, Jiang Cheng on the stage subtly smiled to himself. It seemed the main goal of his live broadcast act had been achieved.

Actually, for Jiang Cheng, this small invading fleet had never been taken seriously from start to finish.

What he valued most was the direction of world opinion.

Initially, due to neighboring hostile forces and organizations not directly showing hostility towards Jade Island, the opponent remained in the shadows, causing great reputational damage to Jade Island.

So even if Jiang Cheng wanted to retaliate, he couldn’t find a target.

But now everything was different!

At the moment when Jade Island was about to have a significant impact on the world through this technology expo, those hidden opponents finally couldn’t help but show their fangs!

They wanted to use slaughter, the worst method, to stifle Jade Island’s rise in one fell swoop, but they didn’t expect that Jiang Cheng had long secretly learned of all this.

Thus, a situation that should have been disastrous was transformed into an opportunity!

If Jiang Cheng used it well, he could not only completely eliminate the previous adverse effects on Jade Island but also allow Jade Island to take the moral high ground. From now on, no matter what military action Jade Island took or large-scale military build-up, it wouldn’t easily be condemned.

In some respects, this is what Jiang Cheng had been waiting for all along.

When he first started building Jade Island, Jiang Cheng already knew the importance of military power, but he was very cautious about it, maintaining zero military strength for a long time, for fear of provoking an extreme reaction from neighboring forces, thereby labeling Jade Island as a military aggressor.

If that was the case, then any attempt by Jade Island to develop military power would be scrutinized under a microscope, making it extremely difficult.

But now, everything was different.

Currently, Jade Island was in a relatively weak position, having long suffered harassment from external forces, greatly affecting its reputation and standing.

The recent fleet invasion event would push this weak position to an all-time high!

Because, the Jade Island, which had always been admired and loved by people, was not only being harassed but was facing a bloody massacre!

If such dire circumstances were to be spread out, it could almost be predicted that the whole world would sympathize with Jade Island, allowing it to thoroughly stand at the top of public opinion.

In this way, the global opinion direction would undoubtedly lean toward Jade Island, and those hostile forces and media, if they still wanted to attack Jade Island with public opinion, would find it untenable!

This outcome was precisely what Jiang Cheng had dreamed of.

With the support of public opinion, he could fully let go and carry out his plans without worrying about pressure from surrounding forces.

Because, under such circumstances, whatever Jade Island did would gain support from world opinion!

This is the power of ”momentum”!

Whoever achieves ”momentum,” can occupy absolute dominance!

Of course, all this had to await tidying up the invading fleet first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng raised his hands, coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to be silent.

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s gesture, the guests present fell silent and all looked towards Jiang Cheng.

”I suppose everyone has seen it; this is a fully armed fleet targeting directly at Jade Island. The situation is extremely urgent. However, the reason I have shown this news through live broadcast images is merely to allow everyone to witness.”

With a solemn face, Jiang Cheng spoke deeply, full of earnest expression.

”For a long time, some surrounding hostile forces have held deep hostility towards Jade Island, as can be seen from the frequent attacks on Jiang Shipping over the past few months, while Jade Island has remained patient. But this is not because we fear but because we don’t want to provoke regional disputes resulting in irreparable consequences.”

”But now, Jade Island will no longer tolerate, because the attack this time threatens 400,000 civilians and tourists, an act that is absolutely unacceptable!”

”Therefore, I, as the Island Master of Jade Island, hereby announce to the public that starting today, Jade Island will officially embark on the path of developing military power, wield our weapons, to safeguard the interests of those tourists and civilians from any damage!”

Jiang Cheng’s declaration was impassioned and resolute, and as his words fell, the hall erupted with enthusiastic applause!

Undoubtedly, all the guests present supported Jiang Cheng’s decision wholeheartedly!

Seeing the enthusiastic atmosphere in the hall, Jiang Cheng’s expression didn’t change, but inside, he became slightly excited.

At this point, everything on the surface was thoroughly prepared, the play came to an end.

Next, it was time for the official counterattack!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng pressed the remote control he held with the applause echoing in the hall.

In an instant, the scene on the live broadcast changed again!

The scene shown was a brilliantly lit giant port!

Below the towering control towers, dazzling gas flashlights illuminated the entire port clearly!

In the port, one by one mighty modern warships stretched over the sea, rows of well-equipped naval soldiers stood holding steel guns, firm on the deck.

The entire port was silent, with only the rolling waves making rumbling sounds.

When such overwhelming military preparedness was shown through the live broadcast, all the guests present were frozen...

Some even widened their eyes, opened their mouths, unable to close them for a long time, with a clear expression of shock in their eyes.

Oh my God!

What did I just see?

Is this... Jade Island’s naval fleet?
