Siheyuan: I, Shazhu, started out as an army and became a general.

After a jarring electrical pulse on the public channel, Felt's voice, feigning composure, rang out.

"Dragon Nation Air Force! This is Commander Felt, Seventh Fleet Commander! I warn you, your actions are extremely dangerous and are tantamount to provoking a nuclear war!"

"Immediately! Right now! Close the bomb bays and return to base! Otherwise, we will consider it a provocation and shoot you down on the spot!"

Li Hai listened to the impotent rage through his earphones and was so angry he laughed.

"Li Hai, give me the microphone," He Yuzhu's voice lazily cut in. "I'm here to have a good chat with this general."

"yes!"

The next second, a voice that was both roguish and arrogant, with a hint of impatience, rang out on the public channel and entered Felt's ears.

"Feed? Is that General Felt? I am He Yuzhu."

"I heard you Americans traveled all this way to the South China Sea to conduct some kind of 'freedom of navigation' operation?" He Yuzhu's voice carried a hint of amusement. "What, is the scenery right on our doorstep more appealing?"

Felt's heart skipped a beat.

He Yuzhu?!

That lunatic who just pinned the Indian guy to the ground and rubbed him in the dirt, "Tiger"!

"General He! You're playing with fire!" Felt's voice cracked. "Get your bombers back immediately! Look closely, those are fucking nuclear bombs!"

"Oh, you have good eyesight." He Yuzhu chuckled, but his tone suddenly turned cold. "That's right, it's a nuclear bomb."

"It's the latest hydrogen bomb, but its power is just so-so, only about 130 million tons of yield."

"Perfect, enough to treat your entire Seventh Fleet to a sauna!"

"You…" Felt was so angry he almost had a heart attack. "This is blatant nuclear blackmail! The United States Navy will never accept intimidation!"

"Whether it's extortion or not, you can try firing a shot and you'll know for sure!" He Yuzhu's voice instantly turned as cold as ice.

"Felth, don't fucking play dumb with me! You come here to show off your power just because you think our navy's ships are inferior to yours, right?"

"Fine, I admit it, our ships aren't as good as yours."

"But I have this!" He Yuzhu's voice carried a hint of madness.

"Right now, my man is right on your forehead. The magazine is open, and the safety is off."

"You can open fire and shoot my bomber down. I guarantee that as long as one piece of debris falls into the sea, the fuse will be triggered."

He Yuzhu even added a voiceover.

"Biu~"

"When the time comes, we'll all pack up and go meet God. I want to see if your 100,000-ton aircraft carrier is tougher, or my hydrogen bomb!"

To put it bluntly, it boils down to this: If you dare to fire the first shot, I dare to turn this sea into a living hell!

Barefoot, why should I be afraid of you wearing shoes? At worst, we'll both die; whoever chickens out is a coward!

This is He Yuzhu's open scheme.

We're betting on you, Felt, that you wouldn't dare risk the entire Seventh Fleet, plus your own life, to test the authenticity of this hydrogen bomb!

Felt fell completely silent.

In the command center, you could hear a heartbeat. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, their eyes filled with barely concealed fear.

They're here to flex their muscles, not to get themselves killed!

If the Seventh Fleet is lost here because of a ridiculous "freedom of navigation" operation, then Felt will be a sinner against America for all time!

Even their ashes were scattered!

"General... General He..." Felt's voice trembled like a leaf, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... We were just passing by, we really were just passing by."

"Just passing by?"

He Yuzhu slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Who the hell would you be passing by like this? A fighter jet is taking off, and the fire control radar is locked on the target the entire time. You call this passing by?!"

"I'll count to three!" He Yuzhu's voice boomed through the channel like the death knell of the King of Hell.

"If your aircraft carrier doesn't leave after these three calls, I'll personally see you off!"

"Don't think I'm joking! In Korea, I dared to capture your lieutenant general alive; in India, I dared to annihilate their elite troops! Today, I dare to drag your entire Seventh Fleet down with me!"

"one!"

He Yuzhu's voice fell.

On the bomber, Li Hai's finger was already on the bomb release button. He turned his head and solemnly saluted in the direction of his motherland!

I have no regrets about being born Chinese!

"two!"

The remaining five bombers, their massive fuselages drawing deadly arcs in the air, nose down, began their dive!

Felt stared intently at the six rapidly enlarging dots on the radar screen, feeling a chill run down his spine.

madman!

This He Yuzhu is an absolute madman!

He's serious! He really dares to do it!

"General! Less than 50 nautical miles away! They're still accelerating their dive!" The adjutant's voice had turned into a scream.

Felt abruptly closed his eyes, as if using all the strength he had left, and roared into the microphone:

"Turn! Hard to port! The entire fleet must turn immediately!!"

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Get out of this damned sea!!"
