Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Super Cavitation Torpedo! (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing the intelligence director’s report, Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, his face not showing any signs of surprise.

In fact, he had already anticipated this; the idea that his high-speed transport ship would deliberately collide with the other’s aging cargo vessel was simply laughable.

Presumably, the other party had investigated the Jade Island transport ship’s navigation route in advance, calculated the timing, and then secretly orchestrated this so-called accident after the Jade Island’s vessel left that sea area.

The reason Jiang Cheng still had the intelligence department investigate this matter was merely to obtain evidence.

The current situation is quite clear; under the targeted encirclement of Jade Island, Samsung Company, in a desperate attempt, resorted to despicable means of framing to try to force Jade Island to compromise.

However, what the other party did not realize is that today’s Jade Island is no longer the Jade Island that only had a few advanced warships!

In the past six months, although Jade Island’s strategic focus has shifted to the development and production of flexible phones, this does not mean that Jade Island’s military industry research level has come to a halt!

Since the Nanyao Island military base came into the public eye, Jiang Cheng not only didn’t show signs of slowing down but instead secretly increased the expansion of the fleet and forces.

Of course, given Jade Island’s unique geographical conditions, its military development mainly targets the naval direction!

Benefiting from the successful combat experience of annihilating the incoming fleet last time, Jade Island’s military development has taken a fast track, with substantial progress in both the research and production of advanced warships and the comprehensive command and combat capabilities of the fleet.

Currently, the number of naval soldiers recruited through various channels has surpassed the threshold of three thousand people, and after undergoing a series of rigorous training, all are assigned to combat formations.

Now, Jade Island’s navy has taken shape, forming two major fleets in the south and north, stationed respectively at the military base on Nanyao Island and on an offshore island near Jade Island.

The one stationed on Nanyao Island is mainly used to guard the southern waters of Jade Island, while the other is to respond to emergencies on Jade Island and guard the northern seas.

Of course, apart from the expansion of force size, the most important advancement of Jade Island’s navy is the enhancement of the firepower of the combat vessels!

After more than a year of dedicated research by the Future Ship Laboratory, the ”supercavitating torpedo,” which Jiang Cheng has always regarded as a weapon of mass destruction, has finally been developed and successfully equipped on the latest model of destroyers.

This ultra-high-speed underwater weapon can be said to be the number one trump card of the current Jade Island navy!

And given the current situation, it seems that it is time to showcase this trump card to the world.

In the following time, Jiang Cheng gave the intelligence director instructions on combat arrangements and told him to keep a close eye on Samsung’s actions, reporting to him immediately with any movement by the other party.

After the intelligence director left, Jiang Cheng summoned some high-ranking military officers inside this secret office and discussed some action plans with them.

According to Jiang Cheng’s speculation, since Samsung Company has resorted to such a despicable act this time, it indicates they have already obtained action approval from the domestic leadership, and there will certainly be more aggressive actions in the future.

For this reason, they must be prepared for the worst, even for the outbreak of military conflict.

Of course, the most important thing at present is to counter Samsung’s framing and cannot sit back and watch the other party carry out such dirty deeds.

...

The collision incident between Jade Island and Samsung Company attracted widespread global attention.

In the past few days, almost all the hot topics online have been about this collision incident and the long-standing technology dispute between the two sides.

In the first few days, it was almost entirely Samsung Company unilaterally condemning Jade Island, with very harsh and aggressive wording.

To outsiders, it seemed as if Samsung Company was genuinely the victim.

However, this one-sided accusation situation saw a reversal on the third day.

Since the incident occurred, Jade Island, which had been silent, finally responded to the collision incident on its official account.

And the content of the response slightly shocked many netizens.

Because, regarding Samsung Company’s so-called collision accusation, Jade Island fully denied it and claimed this was a framing by Samsung Company!

To support this statement, Jade Island also provided tangible evidence.

According to Samsung’s allegations, it was a transport ship with a certain number from Jade Island that was driving recklessly, which ultimately led to the collision of the two ships.

However, according to the black box recorder of that transport ship, it simply had not collided with any vessel, and subsequent video footage showed that this ship was indeed intact.

Such reversing evidence once again plunged Samsung Company into worldwide condemnation.

But, faced with the enormous criticism erupting globally, Samsung Company seemed to show no sign of admitting its fault.

...

Jeju Island.

Seogwipo Naval Base.

As an important naval base in South Korea’s south, it houses the most renowned First Fleet, responsible for combat patrol and defensive operations in the southern waters.

It comprises the Naval Command and three independent naval combat groups, and it is equipped with two of South Korea’s most advanced Lee Sun-sin-class heavy combat cruisers and five of the most powerful Sejong the Great-class battleships, as well as more than thirty other various types of vessels.

It can be said that the scale of the First Fleet is an extremely formidable presence across the entire Asia.

And it is worth mentioning that all these vessels are built by Samsung Heavy Industries. Before Jade Island emerged, Samsung Heavy Industries was considered the world’s most powerful shipyard, so its built warships are still quite threatening.

At this time, in the combat command hall of Seogwipo Naval Base, Samsung Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong sat with a grim expression, listening to his subordinates’ reports.

In the past few days, the series of compelling evidence presented by Jade Island has easily dismissed all his previous accusations, putting Samsung in a very embarrassing position.

”Chairman Li, our current situation is very unfavorable, do you think we should proceed with the military action?”

Commander Jin Taixuan of the First Fleet, with a face full of apprehension, looked at Lee Jae-yong on the seat and asked.

Prior to this, Lee Jae-yong had told him to prepare for a military action against Jade Island in the near future. However, looking at the current situation, their position is indeed dire, and if they still send troops, they might fall into an extremely disadvantageous situation, which made him somewhat anxious.
