Chapter 663: Chapter 289 Poor Excuse_2 Chapter 663: Chapter 289 Poor Excuse_2 At the beginning, the United Fleet's plan was to approach the territorial waters 200 kilometers from Dream Island for a military exercise, then use that as an excuse to land on Dream Island. However, considering that an area 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island had become an unexplained maritime forbidden zone, Yamazaki did not proceed directly there according to the initial plan but instead set the exercise area at a distance of 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island.

By doing so, the United Fleet would not enter that mysterious maritime forbidden zone, thereby avoiding any accidents. And at the same time, they could get as close as possible to the edge of the forbidden zone, testing its authenticity to see if it was naturally formed or man-made. Although no one believed a natural maritime forbidden zone would suddenly appear in these waters, for safety's sake, Yamazaki made every effort to persuade everyone to modify the action plan to avoid actual accidents. After all, this was Japan's navy's main force at hand, and if it were to be completely decimated, the Japanese navy would be thoroughly doomed, never to rise again.

The United Fleet stopped in the territorial waters 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island, and over the next two hours, the massive fleet finally got its formation in order. Then, in front of journalists, it conducted some simple military drills and mock battles.

Through the eyes of the journalists, the naval exercise was spectacular and intense: helicopters flew everywhere, torpedoes and missiles were launched everywhere, anti-aircraft missiles intercepted all around, and explosive blasts occurred everywhere–it seemed exceptionally lively. But to the real experts, the United Fleet's exercises were full of flaws, thoroughly exposing the downside of not having undergone adequate training.

The navies of these three countries also participate in various joint military exercises every year, but they always follow behind the United States, taking orders from the US during the exercises. Now, without command from the US Forces and being able to take charge themselves, they seemed unsure of what to do. So, despite the fiery launching of weapons, actual vulnerabilities were everywhere.

Above the sea surface, the fleet's warships did not enter the territorial waters 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island, thus encountering no surprises. However, beneath the sea, Japanese submarines began making their way through, with one Soryu-class submarine crossing the boundary of the maritime forbidden zone and entering the area within 1,000 kilometers of Dream Island.

This Soryu-class submarine was cautious when it first entered the forbidden zone, fearful of any accidents. But as time passed and no accidents occurred, it suddenly ramped up to full speed. Two hours later, the Soryu-class submarine had already traveled 60 kilometers into the forbidden zone without encountering any issues.

After receiving the safety information sent back by this Soryu-class submarine, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Soryu-class submarine had proven with its actions that the so-called maritime forbidden zone did not exist, or at least, it was safe to enter from beneath the sea. Perhaps the maritime forbidden zone was the work of some troublemaker, who, upon the discovery of the massive United Fleet, didn't dare act again, allowing the Soryu-class submarine to pass through unharmed. With this development, the United Fleet could cross the maritime forbidden zone's boundary from beneath the sea and move closer to Dream Island.

After some hesitation, Yamazaki gave the order for the submarine units to enter the maritime forbidden zone. Thus, the United Fleet's submarines began breaking away from the surface formation and made their way towards Dream Island. While no issues were found beneath the sea, the surface fleet did not take any risks, still opting not to let their surface vessels enter the maritime forbidden zone.

After dark, one Osumi-class landing ship from Japan quietly left the formation and headed east. Once it was far enough away from the United Fleet, the doors of the Osumi-class landing ship opened, letting out two ragged-looking small warships. These two vessels had an ancient look and flew the pirate flags representing piracy.

After releasing the two pirate ships, the Osumi-class landing ship closed its doors and returned to the original formation as if nothing had happened. The moment these two pirate ships entered the open sea and identified their direction, they began heading east, crossing the edge of the maritime forbidden zone and into the waters 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island.

Under normal circumstances, unless it's Dream Island's own ships, other vessels that enter this area would encounter various strange issues, ultimately being forced to turn back. However, these two pirate-flagged ships entered the maritime forbidden zone and faced no problems, smoothly and unhindered making their way towards Dream Island.

Actually, Yan Fei on Dream Island had already detected these two small pirate-flagged warships, as well as all the submarines heading towards Dream Island from beneath the sea, all within his surveillance. But this time, he chose not to act and did not block the United Fleet at a distance of 1,000 kilometers from Dream Island.

The disappearance of the “White Mist” over Dream Island laid bare all the island's conditions for the world to see, stripping away any remaining secrets on the surface of Dream Island. Yan Fei had created the maritime forbidden zone to prevent other countries' warships and airplanes from approaching Dream Island and spying on its true situation. Now that Dream Island's truth was exposed, there was naturally no need to maintain the maritime forbidden zone.
