Chapter 634: Chapter 279 United Fleet_3 Chapter 634: Chapter 279 United Fleet_3 Seeing Lu Pingping's tears, Yan Fei felt a pang of heartache. He pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, “Pingping, once we stand at such heights, wealth is no longer the main purpose of our lives. What we should pursue now is to reunite with our family, to continue the bond of kinship; to let goodness persist, to let evil recede. Your father is your only family, so I hope you can put past grievances aside and take care of each other, leaving no regrets in your life.”

Yan Fei's parents had passed away, leaving him without any relatives in this world. Therefore, during traditional Chinese festivals, it was the most difficult time of the year for him, which is why he placed such importance on family ties.

Lu Pingping accepted the tissue from Yan Fei and wiped the tears from her face. Her emotions had gotten a bit out of control just now, but she was a person with strong self-control and quickly regained her composure. She said, “Fei, thank you so much, you've really helped me out a lot.”

Yan Fei laughed and said, “Silly girl, do we still need to talk like this between us? As long as you're happy, even if you want the stars in the sky, I'll find a way to pluck them for you!”

Lu Pingping didn't dwell on the topic and became interested in the situation on Misty Island. She said, “Fei, tell me about the current situation on Misty Island!”

Yan Fei responded, “No matter how vividly I describe it, it's not the same as seeing it with your own eyes. Come with me, and I'll show you the changes on Misty Island.”

Then Yan Fei took Lu Pingping on a tour of Yang Qi's laboratory, introduced her to the achievements of the lab, and showed her the terrifying calculation ability of the Super Photon Computer. He then brought Lu Pingping to the Terminal Illness Hospital overseen by Wen Rou and informed her of the hospital's breakthroughs in conquering cancer and AIDS.

Wen Rou, who was working, was delighted to see Lu Pingping visiting. She hurried over, took Lu Pingping's hand, and kept calling her “sister,” showing great affection.

Finally, Yan Fei took Lu Pingping underground to visit the Super Nuclear Power Station. Then he brought her to the secret pier by the sea, recalled the Artificial Whale, and introduced the massive creature to Lu Pingping…

—————-

While Lu Pingping was astounded by the achievements made on Misty Island during her visit, NASA's satellites had also detected changes in the White Mist above the island. NASA then handed this data over to The United States military.

After receiving the data from NASA, The United States military immediately convened famous experts to analyze the changes in the White Mist. These experts collectively reached a conclusion that the White Mist above Misty Island was about to completely dissipate, and this would not take long–probably within the month.

Upon learning that the White Mist above Misty Island was about to vanish, The United States military experienced mixed feelings. The US Forces had refrained from attacking Misty Island previously solely because the White Mist overhead blocked their satellite navigation and reconnaissance capabilities. Without the ability to see the terrain of Misty Island, they could not identify where its important buildings were located. Even if they launched cruise missiles, they wouldn't know where the targets were.

Later, after the Destroyer wreaked havoc on the United States mainland in order to rescue Yang Qi, the US military suffered heavy losses. In addition to the United States' rush to rectify its domestic state of affairs, there was temporarily no strength to launch an attack on Misty Island. Thus, upon discovering that the White Mist overhead was dissipating and their satellites could function normally again, they found themselves without the strength to attack Misty Island and had to resort to other combat plans.

The US Forces were hesitant to immediately attack Misty Island not only because of the domestic losses caused by the Destroyer being too great, but also because they feared retaliation from the Destroyer. After the previous incident, the United States had confirmed the connection between Yan Fei and the Destroyer and knew that if Yan Fei was in trouble, the Destroyer would certainly not sit by idly–he would surely retaliate. The US Forces had had a real fight with the Destroyer and were astonished to discover that they were actually inferior to the Destroyer in terms of conventional weapons.

However, the United States held destructive nuclear weapons in their hands; finding the base of the Destroyer and launching a few nuclear bombs would be enough to kill the Destroyer. But the key issue was that the Destroyer arrived without a shadow and left without a trace, so it was impossible to know where his base really was. Moreover, the Destroyer's aircraft that he carried with him could not only submerge underwater but also burrow underground, thus no one could guess where the Destroyer's base really was. It could be on land, at sea, or even underground.

Since the United States could not locate the Lair of the Destroyer, it was unable to eradicate him with a single strike, which made them very cautious of the Destroyer, and naturally, they did not dare to move against Misty Island. Once they launched an attack on Misty Island, it would inevitably provoke the Destroyer. Once the Destroyer, disregarding all costs, focused solely on opposing the United States with the invisibility capability of his aircraft, the US would be unable to detect it. Coupled with its terrifying load capacity, once it launched a surprise attack on the United States, the powerful nation would be slowly worn down by the Destroyer alone.

However, the strategically located Misty Island and Yan Fei's significant economic value made it impossible for the United States to give up targeting Yan Fei. So, the United States military eventually developed an operational plan which was to not confront Misty Island themselves, but to use a “borrowed knife” strategy by inciting their allies to attack Yan Fei's Misty Island and then testing the Destroyer's reaction.

If the Destroyer retaliated because Yan Fei was attacked, the United States would not suffer losses since they did not act personally, and only their allies who attacked Misty Island would bear the consequences. If Yan Fei was attacked and the Destroyer did not respond excessively, allowing the United States' allies to benefit, then the US could step in and naturally take over those benefits from its allies.

With this devious borrowed-knife strategy in place, the US higher-ups began visiting their allies, starting to rally some countries, blissfully unaware of their reach, to build a United Fleet in the Misty Island Sea Area that would not include the US Forces.

In the face of lobbying by US higher-ups, the vast majority of the world's countries chose to refuse. After all, Yan Fei was Chinese and China would certainly stand behind him. Most countries around the world conducted significant economic dealings with China, and if they offended China due to some uncertain military profits, causing their economy to suffer and their people to protest in the streets, then their own troubles would be substantial. Moreover, it was already quite abnormal for the US not to take part in this military activity, which was all the more reason for these countries not to participate rashly.

The thinking of the vast majority of the countries in the world was relatively normal; they understood the principle of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. However, some countries were short-sighted, blinded by temporary interests, or perhaps wished to demonstrate their loyalty to their United States patron. Once the US slightly disclosed their intentions, these countries eagerly agreed to the proposed plan of forming a United Fleet.

Three countries, in particular, were involved in this, located to the east of China was Japan, to the south was Australia, and in North America was Canada. These three countries were ardent loyalists of the United States, and even upon sensing something amiss, they did not pay it any mind but instead joined the coalition targeting Misty Island with excitement.

Considering the US military's formidable strength, even if they did not proactively strike this time, they promised to stand behind them, providing martial support. Therefore, based on their blind optimism about US strength, these three countries made a hasty decision to form a modern version of the United Fleet.
