Chapter 292: Show weakness to the enemy, retreat first and then sit back!
Manalo's words made Marcos and Marawi's expressions change slightly.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longguo is not answering the phone?
And even the embassy in the Coconut Country is closed to visitors?
This……
Throughout the history of interactions between the Dragon Kingdom and the Coconut Kingdom, it seems that we have never seen such a tough attitude from them, right?
Of course, except for direct action!
Why did Dragon Country react so violently to Coconut Country’s provocative behavior this time?
It's so abnormal!
I don’t understand…I really don’t understand…
Although the Coconut Country’s behavior this time is somewhat despicable, it has not caused any substantial harm to the fishermen of the Dragon Country, has it?
As for being so petty and narrow-minded!
Marcos frowned, realizing that the seriousness of the matter was beyond their expectations.
"The reason why the Dragon Kingdom is doing this is simply to ask us to give them an explanation. They will never rashly provoke a war with us."
If the Dragon Kingdom really starts a war just because of a small sneak attack by the Coconut Kingdom, it would be exactly what the Eagle Sauce Kingdom wants.
But then again…
Even if the Dragon Kingdom will not launch a war against the Coconut Kingdom, with the Dragon Kingdom's current strength, it would still be easy to control the Coconut Kingdom.
The import restrictions on fruits and other commodities alone are enough to cause significant economic losses to the Coconut Country.
and so……
No matter how big a move Longguo will make this time, it still has to make some concessions.
The Commander-in-Chief of Marawi and Minister Manalo nodded, agreeing with Marcos' statement.
What big countries value most is face.
This time they were so arrogant that they rashly entered the internal waters of the Dragon Kingdom, which was actually an infringement of the territory and waters of the Dragon Kingdom.
It is only natural that Longguo is angry.
only……
They also never expected that the sneak attack team led by Oban would be so reckless.
They were allowed to rob and harass Longguo fishermen in the 12 nautical miles of waters, but they actually broke in?
Fortunately, Longguo is a country of etiquette. If it were Yingjiangguo, it might have been blown to pieces by artillery shells on the spot.
Marcos looked at Malawi and warned.
"Commander Ma, although we have to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the Eagle Sauce Country, it is more important to regulate the behavior of our subordinates and not do some outrageous actions."
"Otherwise, we will be the ones who suffer the consequences!"
Malawi smiled helplessly.
"Mr. President, before we set off, I repeatedly told Captain Oban to teach the Longguo fishermen a lesson and not to go too far."
"But I never thought they would be so aggressive as to directly break into the waters of Dragon Kingdom. I am also..."
In other words, Oban is now detained by Longguo, otherwise if he was around, Malawi would have killed him directly.
It would have been fine if they had not strictly followed military orders, but they actually openly entered a country's domestic waters.
Moreover, this country is the dragon country with the most powerful national defense and economy among the Eastern continents!
This is because they are afraid that the Coconut Country will not die fast enough!
Fortunately, the world is still peaceful now. In the past, the top leader of Dragon Country would have ordered the mobilization of the entire army and put it into a state of war preparedness...
Malawi asked again at this time.
"Mr. President, is there any movement in the United States?"
Hearing him talk about the United States, Marcos snorted coldly.
"These guys are still as arrogant as ever. Don't place any trust in them."
"Before we started, we said that the intelligence was absolutely true. But judging by the current actions of the Dragon Country, the intelligence provided by the Eagle Country CIA is not only inaccurate, but may have been intercepted by the Dragon Country."
"The Eagle Country is getting worse and worse..."
He sighed.
Even though we know that the overall situation in the Eagle Sauce Country is not optimistic, and is even inferior to the Dragon Country in some aspects.
But now he and the Coconut Kingdom have already boarded the pirate ship of the Eagle Sauce Kingdom, not to mention that they are now frequently sending additional troops to the Coconut Kingdom.
It is extremely difficult to break away from the control of the United States!
Malawi's expression changed slightly.
"The Eagle Country is selling us out!"
"Before I came here, my subordinates reported that the Eagle Sauce Country's aircraft carrier fleet was also planning to withdraw from the Coconut Country's waters. The explanation given was that they were returning to the port for repairs."
"Now it seems that they don't want to offend Dragon Country again..."
The United States has done this more than once or twice. Whenever something goes wrong, they are the ones who run away the fastest.
In this conflict with Dragon Country, the Eagle Country had the loudest voice.
The results of it……
In terms of tactics, they were fooled by the Dragon Kingdom.
In terms of strength, they were being stared at closely by the Dragon Country’s warships and did not dare to make any big moves.
Even during the live-fire shooting, the Dragon Kingdom's reconnaissance ships were watching with great interest.
It was supposed to be a good military demonstration, but in the end it turned into a performance to entertain the Dragon Country.
Foreign Minister Manalo said feebly.
"It seems that the United States will not provide us with any substantial help in this conflict."
Hear the words.
Malawi snorted and scolded.
"Expect them to help us? Dream on!"
"The Eagle Country itself is in chaos right now. Otherwise, why would it be so anxious to withdraw from the South China Sea?"
Once the boss of the world, he is now gradually becoming exhausted.
In the past few years, the United States has become increasingly decadent.
The war between Big Mao and Second Mao was handled very badly by the United States.
In the current situation in the central and eastern parts of the country, the United States does not have an advantage.
Coupled with the internal factional disputes within the United States, the entire country has become a mess.
But the Eagle Country is still trying to brag and get back some ground against the Dragon Country.
The results of it……
Instead, it made the Dragon Country successful and gradually established a higher prestige for the Dragon Country in the international community.
The current situation in the central and eastern countries is the best example.
Come to your senses.
Marawi asked Marcos.
"Mr. President, Dragon Country is very dissatisfied with us now. If we cannot give a clear explanation for a long time, I am afraid that Coconut Country will suffer a great loss!"
"Look, what should we do?"
Marcos put down the teacup in his hand, crossed his legs, looked at the two of them and said.
"Today we want to discuss this matter carefully. The longer it takes, the more bargaining chips the Dragon Nation will demand."
"So, before tonight, we must give Longguo a satisfactory reply!"
"Do you have any opinions or suggestions?"
He looked at Marawi and then at Manalo.
Without paying a small price, this matter cannot be turned over so easily.
But he also didn't know what Dragon Country wanted Coconut Country to do...
Manalo said.
"How about we pay financial compensation?"
Marcos shook his head.
"Will the Dragon Kingdom appreciate our little money?"
"If they want money, they will pay more than what we compensate them for any cooperation they sign."
"Don't underestimate Longguo's overseas cooperation projects in recent years. Their business methods are not as simple as they appear on the surface!"
Marcos made a brief analysis, then looked at Malawi who was lost in thought and asked.
"Commander Ma seems to have an idea?"
After a moment's hesitation, Malawi sat up straight and suggested.
"Mr. President, the Dragon Kingdom has been eyeing Airen Reef."
"Why don't we evacuate the stranded crew members and let Longguo take over Airen Reef..."
