Wu Dazong and his staff looked at each other in confusion.

They all understood that the upcoming "friendly talks" were actually a declaration of conditions that they had to accept.

And the fleet docked in the port is the best "persuasion tool".

On this sunny afternoon, a seemingly peaceful diplomatic meeting was taking place in General Xigong's mansion.

But everyone knew that this was just a show of force in the name of a "friendly visit."

The South Vietnamese monkey government had no choice but to accept this "friendly" fact.

In the reception room of the Grand Commander's Mansion, Wu Dazong was putting on a smile while thinking in his mind how to get rid of this uninvited guest as quickly as possible.

"Yes, yes," he nodded repeatedly, "Longguo and South Vietnam are close neighbors, we must communicate more..."

Jiang Chaoyang suddenly sat up straight, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Speaking of communication, I do have a suggestion."

Wu Dazong's heart skipped a beat, but he had to maintain a smile on his face: "Commander Jiang, please speak."

"Look,"

Jiang Chaoyang stood up and walked to the map of the South China Sea hanging on the wall.

"If the two countries want to truly deepen their friendship, it's not enough for us officials to just chat over tea."

“The most important thing is communication between the armies!”

He turned around and looked at Wu Dazong with sharp eyes.

"I heard that the South Vietnamese Navy has also been actively developing recently. Why not..."

Wu Dazong's smile was a little stiff.

He knew too well the strength of the South Vietnamese Navy - a few dilapidated patrol boats and some second-hand warships discarded by the Eagle Country, which were not even a fraction of the Dragon Country fleet.

But Jiang Chaoyang continued speaking with great interest.

"No day is worse than today! Our fleet is right in port, how about we conduct a joint exercise today?"

"This will not only enhance the friendship between the two armies, but also allow us to learn from each other. Isn't that wonderful?"

There was dead silence in the living room.

Wu Dazong's staff looked at each other, and some of their hands began to tremble slightly.

They all understood that this was not a "joint exercise" at all, but a naked display of strength.

"This..." Wu Dazong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Isn't it too hasty? We need some time to prepare..."

“What can I prepare?”

Jiang Chaoyang laughed heartily.

"It's just a friendly exercise! It's not a real war."

He walked to the window and pointed at the Dragon Kingdom fleet in the harbor.

"You see, our Kunpeng can perfectly demonstrate to your navy the operational procedures of a modern aircraft carrier."

"Officers from your country can also visit the ship and experience it up close."

The corner of Wu Dazong's mouth twitched.

This is not a "demonstration" or a "visit", it's clearly saying "look how powerful we are".

"Of course," Jiang Chaoyang continued, his tone still relaxed, but his eyes became sharp.

"You can decide the subjects of the exercises."

"But I suggest that we choose the simplest formation maneuvers and air defense drills. After all..."

He paused meaningfully. "It's just a friendly exercise, after all. There's no need to make it too complicated."

The subtext of this statement is obvious: We have already given you enough face, you'd better cooperate.

Wu Dazong glanced at the massive fleet outside the window, then at Jiang Chaoyang's half-smile, and felt a wave of dizziness. He understood that this wasn't a request for opinion, but a notice—either accept this "friendly exercise" or... face the consequences.

"Okay... okay." He finally managed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Since Commander Jiang is so sincere, then we must cooperate."

"Great!" Jiang Chaoyang clapped his hands in approval. "That's settled then."

"I'll have the Chief of Staff draw up an exercise plan right now, and I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for your navy!"

Looking at Jiang Chaoyang's excited look, Wu Dazong felt his stomach churning.

He could already imagine how this so-called "friendly exercise" would humiliate the South Vietnamese Navy.

But in the face of absolute strength, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Someone come!" Jiang Chaoyang shouted to the door, "Go inform the chief of staff and prepare the exercise plan!"

Outside the window, the Dragon Fleet's guns flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if silently mocking this farce.

And in the reception room of the Grand Commander's Mansion, a "friendly exercise" destined to go down in history officially began, with the South Vietnamese side helpless...

……

After half an hour.

On the deck of the "Kunpeng" aircraft carrier, Wu Dazong and a group of South and South Vietnamese officials stood there, staring at everything in front of them in amazement.

On the wide flight deck, more than a dozen "Haidoqing" carrier-based aircraft are neatly arranged.

The streamlined fuselage gleams with metallic luster in the sun, and the various missiles mounted under the wings are even more terrifying.

The appearance of these fighter jets is more advanced than any American fighter jets they have ever seen.

"This is our latest developed 'Haidongqing' carrier-based aircraft,"

Jiang Chaoyang introduced with a smile.

"It has a maximum take-off weight of 12 tons, a combat radius of 800 kilometers, and can carry air-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles."

A South Vietnamese general couldn't help but ask.

"This...this performance is much better than the Eagle Country's F86, right?"

"Of course," Jiang Chaoyang said with some pride, "F86 is already outdated."

"Our 'Saker Falcon' uses the latest aerodynamic layout. Whether it's maneuverability or payload, it far exceeds similar models!"

He continued the tour with the South Vietnamese officials.

When passing the island, the South Vietnamese officials were even more shocked by the advanced radar antennas and electronic equipment.

"This is a phased array radar system," Jiang Chaoyang pointed to the huge antenna on top of the island. "It has a detection range of 300 kilometers and can track 100 air targets simultaneously."

Wu Dazong's expression became increasingly ugly.

He knew very well what this meant - even the Eagle Country was still developing phased array radars, but the Dragon Country had already equipped them on aircraft carriers.

When they arrived at the catapult area, the South Vietnamese officials saw an even more shocking scene.

Two long steam catapult tracks extend forward, each equipped with the most advanced optoelectronic targeting system.

“Steam catapults?” a South Vietnamese naval officer exclaimed, “Even the Essex-class aircraft carriers still use mechanical catapults!”

Jiang Chaoyang smiled but said nothing.

He knew that these South Vietnamese officials hadn't seen the worst yet. He led them inside the island, where the advanced command center made everyone gasp.

A huge tactical display screen occupied the entire wall, and dozens of operating tables were filled with well-trained officers.

Various data are constantly refreshed on the screen, and the situation in the entire combat area is clear at a glance.

"This... this is even more advanced than the command center of the Eagle Nation's aircraft carrier."

A South Vietnamese general muttered to himself.

"Really?" Jiang Chaoyang pretended to be surprised. "We thought these devices were just average. But since the general said so, they must be really good."

This was said lightly, but everyone could hear the irony in it.

Wu Dazong's expression became even uglier.

He suddenly realized that Long Guo was not showing off his strength at all, but issuing a silent warning.

Don’t think you’re great just because you have the support of the Eagle Country. Let’s see who is the real owner of this sea area.

"By the way," Jiang Chaoyang suddenly said, "we will also conduct carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing drills later."

"Why don't you all move to the observation deck and see for yourself how our pilots are trained?"

The South Vietnamese officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all understood that the next "exercise" would probably make them even more embarrassed.

But on this huge aircraft carrier, they had no choice but to cooperate.

"Please... please, Commander Jiang, lead the way." Wu Dazong forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Jiang Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction.

He knew that this visit had achieved its purpose - to allow those South Vietnamese officials who attempted to challenge the Dragon Kingdom to see with their own eyes how big the gap in strength between the two sides was.

On the deck, the engine of the "Haidoqing" fighter jet has begun to roar.

The following exercises will leave a deeper impression on these South Vietnamese officials.

This is the deterrent power of modern military force—without going to war, the mere display of strength is enough to terrify the enemy...
