April th.

The Coast Guard headquarters is located in Port Pulte. The Royal Fleet that had been patrolling the coast has gradually withdrawn to the dock in the past few days. In addition to the Royal Fleet, the overseas fleet that returned home in response to Isabella's emergency order is now distributed in the three major ports near the coast, and all have entered a defensive posture.

In Pulte Harbor, where the Royal Fleet is stationed, there are as many as six or seven hundred ships of all sizes, almost distributed along the entire coastline.

At this moment, in the Coast Guard headquarters, senior officials gathered in a conference room and were holding a meeting.

"unacceptable!"

"These crude Yan countrymen don't take us seriously at all!"

At the conference table, the former commander of the Second Expeditionary Force, the young and handsome Army Major General James, slammed the table angrily.

Anthony, the commander of the Unicorn Fleet, glanced at James when he heard this, but he did not respond. He just reached out to take the teacup on the table.

"Oh!"

But the next moment, James slapped the table again and said angrily: "They don't respect our sovereignty at all!"

"We have to do something!"

As the slap fell, Anthony's wrist trembled and he almost dropped the cup he had just picked up. He held the cup tightly, took a sip of the red tea, and said in a muffled voice: "James, you'd better calm down."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Upon hearing what Anthony said, James glared at him and scolded, "How dare the Yan countrymen sail in our territorial waters so recklessly!"

"How can you continue to watch! Can you do anything..."

Before he finished speaking, Admiral Dolphin, the commander of the Royal Fleet, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, took off his pipe with a sullen face and interrupted him coldly:

"James."

"Watch your attitude."

Although Dolphin's official position was higher than James', James, who was young and energetic and had a strong family background, did not soften his attitude. Instead, he snorted and said:

"I just can't bear to watch it."

"In the past few days, their ships have been sailing in our territorial waters openly. This is a provocation to us. How can you remain indifferent?"

"This is our territorial waters. Within our sovereignty, we must not allow other countries to sail back and forth recklessly!"

At this point, James became more and more indignant. He looked around at the senior naval officers at the table and continued, "But what is our fleet doing? Not only did we fail to stop them in time, we even allowed them to sail in our territorial waters and even withdrew all the offshore patrol ships back to the port. This is completely irrelevant!"

"Oh, my God." James held his forehead with his hand, his teeth almost broken with anger.

As these words fell, Dolphin tapped his pipe without responding, while Anthony, who was still holding the teacup, stammered:

"Um...James, in fact, we have already warned the Yan people."

"Warning? How come I don't know? How were you warned?" James raised his eyebrows.

Anthony put down his teacup, touched his nose, and said, "We have called on them to leave our territorial waters immediately."

Hearing this, James laughed in anger: "Shouting? What's the point of shouting at them with a loud speaker? Can a verbal warning stop their behavior?"

“It’s no use!”

After he finished speaking, Dolphin took a puff of cigarette, his eyes misty, staring at James with a cold expression and said, "What else?"

With a crisp "slap" sound, James slapped the table again, raised his chin and said angrily to Dolphin:

"Drive the boat straight over there!"

"Show them our attitude!"

Dolphin couldn't help but roll his eyes, shook his head and said, "Rush over? Before we get close enough, the Yan countrymen's artillery shells are coming over."

James' face froze, but he still said: "I don't think so! This is our territorial waters, our fleet is here!"

After this was said, Dolphin said: "Do you really think the Yan people dare not fire?"

As soon as Dolphin finished speaking, Anthony continued: "This... I believe they dare to fire... After all, last time..."

James blushed and snorted, "We should show our attitude instead of withdrawing the warships back to the port."

"If we keep retreating, the Yan countrymen will only become more aggressive."

"I would say we should arrange a few ships to rush over. We can't let the Yan countrymen underestimate us."

"We have to take action. Even if it means the ship is destroyed and people die, it at least shows our attitude!"

As he spoke, James looked at the faces of the naval commanders present one by one, and these people quickly lowered their heads.

"Forget it James, this is useless." Dolphin tapped his pipe unhappily.

Upon hearing this, James was furious. He suddenly sat up from his chair and said angrily:

"How can you say it's useless?! This is our duty!"

"Even if there is a powerful enemy in front of us, we should show our courage to move forward! Tolerating blindly is the act of a coward!"

These words undoubtedly slapped the faces of the officers present. Everyone's faces turned ugly, and Dolphin immediately snorted in dissatisfaction, looked at James and said:

"Why don't you lead the team and make a solemn statement to the Yan people, asking them to leave our territorial waters immediately. If necessary, ram them directly to see if you can destroy their ships one by one, to show your fearless attitude."

After he finished speaking, James sat back in his chair.

"I'm in the Army, this is not what I should do." James said coldly, sitting back in his chair and hugging his arms.

Dolphin gave James a disdainful look and said "Oh" faintly.

This immediately made James' face flush red. He was about to stand up and vent his anger, but after thinking for a second, he did not stand up. Instead, he turned to look at Anthony and said:

"The Unicorn Fleet's ships have strong ramming capabilities. Perhaps... General Anthony, you can arrange it..."

Before he finished speaking, Anthony waved his hands and said, "It's better not to do unnecessary things. No, it's not unnecessary things. It's just that Her Majesty the Queen has already issued an order. Before she comes to Port Pulton, there should be no conflict with the Yan people."

Upon hearing the name of Her Majesty the Queen, James perked up and said immediately, "It is precisely because Her Majesty the Queen is about to arrive that we must expel the Yan people running around in our territorial waters!"

"Even if...even if we can't drive them away, it shows our determination."

As soon as the voice fell, Dolphin said indifferently:

"Okay James, we all know you want to do something before Her Majesty the Queen comes to make her happy when she arrives, but you always have to consider the consequences."

"You don't want His Majesty to see a mess when he comes, right?"

James, whose true thoughts were exposed, touched his face and retorted: "Don't misunderstand me, General Dolphin."

"My suggestions are all based on national considerations. As a major country, we should not remain indifferent when provoked by the Yan countrymen."

At this moment, a communications soldier hurriedly ran in from outside the meeting room. He did not bother to interrupt the meeting and said in a hurry:

"Commander, the Yan Kingdom fleet has made new moves!"
