Chapter 235 Military Merit Delivered to Our Doorstep? The Soldier's Eyes Light Up

In the command center of the Kunlun, the alarm suddenly became piercing.

"Report! The USS Antiy cruiser has been detected heading abnormally and is approaching our baseline at high speed!"

General Liu looked at the red dot rushing towards him on the screen, and instead of being angry, he laughed.

"Damn it, you finally couldn't resist going to ride the bumper boats?"

He stood up and slammed his hand heavily on the control panel.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

It turns out that the higher-ups had anticipated that the Eagle Kingdom would pull this stunt.

The remaining Zhengjin metal from the Super Mech project has been used overnight to add a layer of Zhengjin metal to the bow of the Xuanwu ship.

Zheng Jin was able to absorb kinetic energy. General Liu was also present when the test was conducted. He watched as a wrecked 10,000-ton ship was broken in half by it!

Most importantly, not a single piece of paint on the Xuanwu itself was chipped!

General Liu scanned the tense faces in the command center.

"They tried to ram me with their bodies, I'll show them what an impenetrable wall looks like!"

"Black Tortoise, heed my command!"

"Target: Enemy cruiser 'Antiy'!"

"Get the hell out of there... full speed ahead!!"

"Remember, we will never fire the first shot!"

......

The bridge of the cruiser "Antiy".

Commander Thompson gripped the high-powered binoculars tightly in his hand.

In the lens, the Type 055 destroyer codenamed "Xuanwu" was cutting through the waves, like an elegant yet deadly shark, heading straight towards us.

that's it!

It's those damn warships again, topped with several big spheres!

From Japan to the Philippines, and now, the joint fleet's numerous exercises have been disrupted by this elusive destroyer.

Especially just now, that pig squeal that echoed across the public channel was an insult etched into my very soul!

All the old and new grudges surged into my heart at this moment.

A ferocious madness flashed across Thompson's face.

"Fuck! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up for me!"

He let out a beast-like roar into the communicator.

"Ram it! Don't try to evade it! Get all soldiers to put on life jackets!"

"When I return, I will personally report your achievements to the governor!"

"clear!"

The adjutant repeated the order, his eyes also flashing with madness.

Inside the bridge, all the officers silently checked their orange life jackets.

On the entire "Antiy," hundreds of British soldiers were doing the same thing.

They were prepared to sink together.

In their eyes, exchanging themselves for this thorn in the side of Great Xia was a worthwhile deal!

……

Meanwhile, on the Xuanwu warship.

The atmosphere, however, was completely different from the tragic grandeur of the Antioch.

Inside the ship's passageway, a group of naval soldiers were gathered together preparing for an impact.

"Squad leader, do you think... if we sink it this time, we can get a collective first-class merit?" a green recruit asked curiously.

His name is Li Tieniu. When he enlisted, the respected clan elder of his village personally saw him off on the bus.

He patted him on the shoulder and said that as long as he could get a third-class merit, his family would be the first to offer incense to him in the future.

He even asked at the time, "What if it's a first-class merit?"

The clan chief laughed heartily and said, "Good lad, if you can do it, I'll give you a separate page in the family tree!"

He kept those words in his heart.

Fortunately, he was promising and performed exceptionally well, becoming a naval elite and boarding the newest ship, the Type 055 destroyer.

"You're dreaming!" an old soldier scoffed, slapping Li Tieniu on the head.

"Do you think 'Zheng Jin' is someone to be trifled with?"

"You knew how amazing that thing was, you weren't there to see it."

"A 100% guaranteed win, not even a scratch, and you still expect to get a first-class merit award?"

Another seasoned veteran leaned over and lazily chimed in:

"Exactly. There's an old saying in our army: third-class merits are received standing up, second-class merits are received lying down, and first-class merits... well, you have to hang them on the wall to receive them!"

"Do you understand?"

This statement, though crude, is true and an irrefutable truth in the military.

Upon hearing this, Li Tieniu stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

"In that case, I'll have to figure out a way to lose my balance later..."

The squad leader, with his sharp ears, heard this and frowned, asking:

Why?

Li Tieniu replied:

"Squad leader, look! When we collide, the boat will definitely rock violently!"

"I 'accidentally' lost my balance and 'just happened' to fall onto the opposite ship, and then 'were' 'forced' to fight the Americans, and 'gloriously' wounded..."

"This should guarantee at least a second-class merit award, right?"

"If we're lucky, we might even get a first-class merit award without lifting a finger!"

"You little rascal!"

The squad leader's eyes twitched as he listened, and he slapped Li Tieniu on the back of the head.

"You're a real genius!"

"If the inspection team finds out you've gone this far in cheating and shirking your duties, you'll not only lose your military merit, but you'll also get a disciplinary action!"

Li Tieniu rubbed his head in grievance, not daring to utter another word.

After finishing his tirade, the squad leader lowered his voice and growled at the soldiers around him.

"Listen up, all of you! This method is absolutely not to be told to anyone!"

"Pack your gear now and come with me to the bow!"

Li Tieniu was taken aback:

"Squad leader, what are we doing at the bow of the ship?"

Before he could finish speaking, the veteran next to him grabbed his neck and excitedly pulled him outside.

"Good bro! Ever since you came in, I've thought you're a promising guy!"

"If I can really get a second-class merit award, from now on I'll call you my godfather!"

Another soldier hurriedly packed his equipment and followed:

"Forget about godfather! Tie Niu, from now on, I'll take care of all your household chores for the entire year!"

"Shut up, all of you!" the squad leader hissed, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"If any other soldiers ask later, you better watch out, don't let anything slip!"

A group of people, acting furtively yet also swaggering and full of bravado, charged toward the bow deck.

At this moment, the sea breeze howled and the waves crashed against the hull.

They stood in a line, heads held high, chests out, gazing at the ever-growing, menacing black dot rushing towards them in the distance.

No one seemed to have any fear of death.

Only a naked, burning desire for military merit!

……

The bridge of the Xuanwu warship.

The commander saw this scene through the observation window and frowned slightly.

"What's going on on the bow deck? Why are there so many people standing there?"

He turned to the staff officer and said:

"Go and find out what's going on, and tell them to return to their safe posts immediately!"

"yes!"

The staff officer accepted the order.

The bow of the ship.

The sentry on duty was taken aback when he saw the sergeant approaching with about ten men, and quickly called out:

"What are you doing! Go back and prepare for the impact!"

"A collision is about to happen! Are they all crazy?!"

The squad leader, however, seemed not to hear him. His eyes blazed with fury as the Antiy approached, and he roared:

"go back?!"

"Those robbers wanted to steal our scientific research results, and now they're trying to break into our country!"

"As soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, we should be brave enough to stand on the front line!"

"Let us build a Great Wall of Xia with our flesh and blood, to stop any enemy that dares to invade!"

"Defending our homeland is our inescapable duty!"

His voice trembled with excitement, filled with a tragic grandeur of facing death without fear.

The sentry on duty: "???"

He was completely stunned by these words.

He stared blankly at the class monitor's righteous expression, unable to utter a word for a long time, and could only give him a thumbs up in admiration.

"...Awesome!"
