Chapter 293: War (1)

It seems there's a reason why Jason Deng noticed these people's arrival instantly when they came to this island to do business. Out of the 200 people arriving from the Horusian Republic, 150 registered to start a business here.

Their business consisted of groceries, small electronic gadgets, foods, and markets.

If one would study their business approach in detail, there is a hint of conspiracy here. First of all, the lifestyle and difference in taste and flavors. As a country located in between Oceana Alliance on east and Continent of Southern States on the south, the local flavors of Marianna are more towards eastern and southern heritage.

This means that the demand for western and northern cuisine and essential goods is not as great as they think.

Also, most of the goods have to be imported into this island because of the business needs. This would undoubtedly create another big loophole right here.

Like… Why do they wanted to invest in a business where all their products have to be imported?

But instead of immediately taking action on them, Zhang Qin Feng preferred to see what these people were trying to do here. In the few previous engagements against them, he lost due to the lack of resources and intelligence.

Unfortunately for Horus Eyes, things would be different this time.

The entire Marianna is under Zhang Qin Feng. And if they dare to come in here to make a mess, there's only one fate is reserved for them.

Death.

Zhang Qin Feng soon came to the Construction Site with ten more Builder's Frames. With two locations running extensive construction projects now, Zhang Qin Feng finds it hard to split his concentration into two different places.

He hated to ignore what the people from the Horusian Republic were trying to do on this island, but he had no other choice for now.

And since they're not taking any action, Zhang Qin Feng can only remain passive and wait to see what they're trying to do.

But trouble came from somewhere else.

The estranged relationship between the New Panem under Oceana Alliance and Marianna has been getting worst lately. And when words were no longer capable of delivering the meaning, a firearm ended up as the solution for all discussion.

No reason nor warning was given when the ships from Oceana Alliance opened fire on one of the few fishing boats operating around the area. It might be a warning shot at first, but a mistake happened since half of the order was manually entered.

A fishing boat was attacked by the CIWS belonged to one of the two destroyers. Furthermore, they did not retreat from the location after the attack.

To Zhang Qin Feng and Jason Deng, this is a blatant provocation for a battle. It seems that their patience has finally run out as they decided to use any means of tactics to incite the anger of Marianna's Naval Force.

In response to their provocation, Jason Deng ordered that all fishing boats pull back and return to the port until this problem was solved. Because this is a matter of state affair, the fishing boats were given a waive in their parking fee to reduce their living cost burden.

The maintenance workshop working in the port was given the green light to help repair their boats while they could not go out to the sea to fish. It was a good idea to do so, as the maritime business might be a blast in the future when the number of people in Marianna grows bigger.

With the third construction phase is ongoing, the next population boom will be just around the corner.

Perhaps this was expected far ahead by the people from Oceana Alliance, and they're willing to use the name of New Panem to test Marianna's tolerance. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Zhang Qin Feng ordered the Naval Force to move out in full strength in response to their threat. The five newest models of Patrol Boat, codename Assailants, were taking the lead with their average speed of 30 knots.

With ten CIWS Turrets ready to open fire at any time, Zhang Qin Feng dared to say that his five new ships could fight equally against ten Oceana Alliance Ships.

There's only one more thing to do before Zhang Qin Feng ordered his people to take action.

After giving Jason Deng a nod, the puppet president of this country dialed the number to the Oceana Alliance's Representative Office and declared something.

"The Marianna Government will take this as a blatant provocation on our ability to protect our country's interest. All ships without approval to sail in the Marianna Waters shall move their ship out from our territory right now before Marianna's Naval Forces opened fire at them." Jason Deng said.

His warning quickly arrived at the upper echelons of the Oceana Alliance. But it seems that they're not taking this issue seriously. The exact copy of the announcement has also been given to Dongcheng, Han Country, and New Panem.

Even the media worldwide received a copy of this statement.

About half an hour or so, the five Assailant-Class Patrol Ships finally arrived in firing proximity with the Oceana Alliance Naval Forces. Using the same announcement again, the Commanding Officer patiently read out what was declared in the statement.

"I repeat. This will be your final warning to sail out of our Marianna's Territory. We will be opening fire if you do not comply!" the Commanding officer said.

But even after giving them a warning, the forces from the opposite side are unwilling to move away. To make thing worst, their CIWS turrets is adjusting and targeting at the five Assailant-Class Patrol Ships.

"Sir!" the communication channel connected to an office inside the presidential palace.

"Commander Mason, you have the right to open fire. Take out all threats before you, over." Zhang Qin Feng said while pressing the reply button.

"Affirmative." there's a hint of delight behind the captain's reply.

After fifteen minutes, a report soon came back to both Jason Deng's office and the Oceana Alliance HQ.

(Two destroyers, four frigates, and eleven Patrol ships were destroyed in an engagement happening at the border of New Panem and Marianna's sea.)𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
