Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046

The investment conference concluded smoothly two days later.

Through this investment conference, Yongfan Island made a leap in development equivalent to fifty years.

Additionally, in aspects of transportation, education, and healthcare, other countries have provided corresponding investments and assistance. What's most exhilarating is that Isera, South Africa, and Huaxia Country established diplomatic relations and the three countries expressed willingness to provide assistance to Yongfan Island in rare metals, fuel, and even military industry.

With the import channels for rare metals established, Yongfan Island's military factory has started construction vigorously.

Previously, the infrastructure for the military factory was already arranged, now, with rare metals, what the people of Yongfan Island need to do is assemble machines and start production.

The first batch of weapons produced on Yongfan Island is heavy attack destroyers.

Yongfan Island is surrounded by the sea and powerful neighbors, without strong maritime power, it cannot establish a foothold.

Yongfan Island possesses superior research capability, including scientists on the island who have participated in the construction of warships in The Stars and Stripes Country.

Thus, with the collective efforts of these scientists, it didn't take much time for the blueprint of Yongfan Island's heavy destroyer to be designed.

The heavy destroyer on Yongfan Island integrates the excellent design concepts of heavy destroyers from countries around the world. Combined with the current research achievements, the new large-scale heavy destroyer will be the most advanced destroyer in the world.

The investment conference this time was very successful, with media from countries around the world reporting on Yongfan Island's conference.

As of now, the most displeased are the Philippine and Indian countries.

Initially, their main goal was to blockade Yongfan Island economically by joining forces with two other countries.

But now it seems their actions not only failed to restrain Yongfan Island's development, on the contrary, Yongfan Island's economy has made a leap forward post-conference.

After a period of silence from the four countries, none took the initiative to speak about the economic blockade again.

Now, anyone mentioning an economic blockade would be insulting the four countries...

Post-investment conference, there is still some time before the Hidden Sects Conference on Serpent Island.

Taking advantage of the free time, Ding Fan intended to further enhance his cultivation.

Ding Fan returned to his villa.

After taking out the Bronze Mirror from Emperor Pit, Ding Fan continued to cultivate his Divine Sense.

While cultivating , three days later, Ding Fan's calm was interrupted.

Hu Jin and Ye Ningbing both arrived at Ding Fan's villa.

Hu Jin is currently heading comprehensive work on Yongfan Island, while Ye Ningbing mainly focuses on diplomatic work. With both appearing before him simultaneously, Ding Fan could guess the issue. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

It must be a diplomatic issue again.

"Island Master, yesterday morning, when South Africa sent cargo ships to deliver goods to our Yongfan Island, they were bombarded by Vietnamese warships. All three South African cargo ships were sunk," Ye Ningbing said to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was stunned.

South Africa's performance at the investment conference is still imprinted in Ding Fan's mind. At that time, South Africa only invested in the railway connecting twelve towns on Yongfan Island. They did not ask for a Pill.

At this moment, Hu Jin said, "The building materials being transported by South Africa this time are mainly for our railway construction."

nodded beside him. "The current problem is quite difficult; on one hand, South Africa dispatched cargo ships due to aiding our railway construction, and on the other, Vietnam's bombardment of South Africa's ships happened in international waters near Vietnamese waters, not near our Yongfan Island, hence we are here to seek guidance on how to condemn the Vietnamese military's actions."

Hu Jin added, "If our condemnation is too light, it may upset South Africa, but too harsh a condemnation might be inappropriate..."

"Call Huang Can here," Ding Fan said directly without waiting for Hu Jin to finish.

Hu Jin was taken aback. She glanced at Ye Ningbing, who was equally puzzled.

"Island Master, what are you planning?" Hu Jin asked curiously.

Ding Fan replied, "Anyone discerning can see that Vietnam's bombardment is deliberately targeting us."

Hu Jin nodded, indeed, things were as Ding Fan analyzed; Vietnam's bombardment is meant to target Yongfan Island.

Ding Fan continued, "If that's the case, there's no need to be polite with them; we should directly dispatch warships to bombard them."

Though Ding Fan spoke casually, Hu Jin and Ye Ningbing were stunned, wondering about the situation.

A country bombarded their ally, and Ding Fan planned to dispatch a warship in response directly.

Looking around the world, no country has been so assertive. Some countries, even if their warships were sunk, would only issue a protest to maintain stability.

But Ding Fan, without hesitation, directly dispatched warships.

"Island Master, isn't this too reckless?" Ye Ningbing remarked. "Even if we decide to wage war, we need to gather public opinion before using force."

"There's no need to consider international opinion; it's always on the side of the victor," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Seeing Ding Fan's decision was made, Hu Jin and Ye Ningbing found it difficult to argue further.

After all, the true master of Yongfan Island is Ding Fan.

At this time, someone had already gone to bring Huang Can directly, and Ding Fan directly conveyed the battle orders to Huang Can.

Huang Can did not waste any words; upon receiving the orders, he went down to make arrangements directly.

Recent international news, aside from the Yongfan Island investment conference earlier, now focuses on the Vietnam Navy shelling a South Africa cargo ship in the public sea areas near Vietnam Country.

After the incident occurred, international affairs analysts soon provided analysis.

This attack by Vietnam Country on the South Africa warship mainly targets Yongfan Island.

Analysts directly pointed out that in the previous phase, Vietnam Country had a naval battle with Yongfan Island, resulting in significant naval losses. During the previous economic blockade, Vietnam and other countries did not impose a blockade on Yongfan Island; instead, Yongfan Island made great strides forward.

After the investment conference, South Africa was the first among all countries to send a cargo ship to Yongfan Island.

Vietnam Country wants to strike against South Africa to deter other countries, making them cautious about investing in and aiding Yongfan Island.

The Western newspapers even directly reported.

They stated that the Vietnam Country shelling incident is a crucial step in suppressing Yongfan Island.

Suddenly, all the world's media and countries shifted their focus to Yongfan Island.

Everyone wants to see how a fledgling newly established government can resolve the current crisis.

Some experts pointed out.

Now Yongfan Island's way out is to negotiate, resolving the current crisis through negotiations with Vietnam Country.

However, because of the severe damage Vietnam Country suffered from Yongfan Island in the naval battle, the prospects for negotiations between Vietnam Country and Yongfan Island are not optimistic.

Experts even pointed out that Yongfan Island might need to rely on the power of Isera and Huaxia Country to resolve conflicts with Vietnam Country.

Soon after the experts' analysis, Yongfan Island took an action that startled the whole world.

Yongfan Island warships invaded Vietnam Country's territorial waters, with the first round of naval warfare resulting in zero casualties and severely devastating Vietnam Country's warships, sinking six of Vietnam Country's heavy destroyers and ten light destroyers on that day.

Immediately, the whole world was in uproar.

The global theme now is peace and development.

Any issues that arise are usually resolved through consultation and negotiation. But Yongfan Island was different, directly engaging military warships, and invading the opponent's territorial waters without a word.

At this time, everyone believed Yongfan Island would only give the Vietnam Country Navy a lesson and then withdraw troops.

After all, decades ago, Huaxi Country belonging to the same Chinese people as Yongfan Island directly deployed troops to invade Vietnam Country, giving a suitable lesson and then withdrawing troops.

Therefore, everyone thought that Yongfan Island's actions were just to teach Vietnam Country a lesson. Then they would withdraw troops as it was done decades ago.

But what surprised everyone was that, after teaching Vietnam Country a lesson, the warships of Yongfan Island showed no intention of withdrawing troops; less than twenty-four hours after the first round of attacks, they launched another attack.

This time, the entire Vietnam Country Navy was completely sunk by Yongfan Island.

Then, the whole world was shaken, and the whole world was in an uproar.

In the military decisive battle between Yongfan Island and Vietnam Country, Yongfan Island warships still achieved zero casualties and total defeat of the opponent's navy.

Even the world's top power, the Stars and Stripes Country, does not dare claim they could defeat Vietnam Country's navy at zero casualty cost.

It should be noted that decades ago, during the battles between the Stars and Stripes Country and Yongfan Island, the Stars and Stripes Country ended up withdrawing troops from Vietnam Country in a terrible defeat.

And such a Vietnam Country, which troubled the world's top power, was ultimately obliterated by Yongfan Island within two days at zero casualty cost.

Soon, Vietnam Country announced to the world that it declared war on Yongfan Island.

It also expressed strong protest. Furthermore, Vietnam Country applied to the United Nations, hoping they would send troops for impartial justice.

While Vietnam Country was busy with diplomacy, Yongfan Island quickly took the initiative to attack Laoshun Port in Vietnam Country.

It took less than two days to completely occupy Yongshun Island.

Now, Yongfan Island has mobilized forces to occupy actual territories of Vietnam Country.

The world is in shock.

Since World War II, no country has so brazenly dispatched troops to occupy another country's territory.

The United Nations soon issued a public letter to Yongfan Island, hoping for a swift withdrawal of troops.

However, regarding the public letter from the United Nations, Yongfan Island seemed as if they hadn't heard a word. Within the next three days, Yongfan Island continuously occupied three large cities in Vietnam Country.

One city per day. Such a rate of advancement stunned the world. The combat effectiveness of Yongfan Island's soldiers has reached a terrifying level.

At this point, Vietnam Country was in a panic; they realized the United Nations was only protesting, showing no intention to help Vietnam Country. And Vietnam Country's troops were utterly routed against Yongfan Island's forces.

With no other option, Vietnam Country secretly sent a negotiation team to Yongfan Island…
