178: Revenge? Great! We are so strong this time!

Watching Lu Shenwei's face filled with anger, a popular meme suddenly popped into Gu Ming's mind: "Very good! Very spirited!"

"Although Japan is hateful, the quality of produced warships must be guaranteed; you must not be overly hasty," Gu Ming reminded.

Lu Shenwei said sternly, "Don't worry, once the unmanned boat is developed, I guarantee I'll show them!"

"It's not needed for the moment, but in the long run, the Coast Guard needs an unmanned boat to patrol the coastal waters," Gu Ming explained.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late; that's only when we lack strength.

But now? I have over a dozen 10,000-ton destroyers; do you think I'll let you have an easy time?

To others, I might not strike a killing blow, but Japan, you're acting so arrogant? Tomorrow, I will definitely let you know that my title as one of the Five Great Powers is not for show.

"Understood." Lu Shenwei nodded heavily.

Just as the Dragon Xia Navy was discussing how to deal with Japan, the small island across the sea was also conspiring.

"We didn't go too far today, did we?"

"Too far? We have Japan backing us now, what are we afraid of?"

"Exactly, exactly. If they still dare to bully us after we've acknowledged a boss, then wouldn't that boss have been acknowledged in vain?"

"Right! Let's do it! Anyway, we have the boss backing us! Quack quack!"

The rebels in the maritime department struck hard, bullying the old and weak.

As a result, they suddenly received news that a Japan Coast Guard patrol ship had sunk in the coastal waters of Dragon Xia, and none of the 66 people on board survived.

"President, are we still going?"

"Go my ass! The boss is already having a funeral. Quickly prepare a congratulatory gift—no, I misspoke, quickly prepare condolences."

Lu Shenwei, who had long since returned to Qinchuan, learned the news and laughed from ear to ear on the spot.

Major forums in Dragon Xia were as lively as if it were New Year's.

【Japan deserves to die. Last time, two division commanders died, didn't they learn their lesson? This time, 66 more naval fools died. Yay!】

【I declare it New Year! Japan's performance is as interesting as ever.】

【The Pacific Ocean is so big, just throw them all into it!】

"Actually, our coastal equipment has a certain gap compared to Japan and Eagle Sauce, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered losses some time ago," Brother Qi analyzed.

"But now the naval equipment has caught up. As long as we wait for the 10,000-ton destroyers phased out by the Navy to be painted white, there will be no rivals in the coastal waters in the future!"

【Brother Qi really dares to imagine. Painting a 055 Destroyer white? The Coast Guard would wake up laughing from their dreams.】

【Coast Guard: I always feel that painting the guangyu silent white is more reliable! Navy: Get your dirty hands off my aircraft carrier!】

【The brother above is talented. Using an aircraft carrier as a Coast Guard patrol ship? Since when did Long Xia become so wealthy?】

【If you ask me, we should learn from the Desert Camel and make more speedboats for wolf-pack tactics.】

【Wolf-pack tactics are outdated. We tried it last century, besieging aircraft carriers, and the battle damage was simply unwatchable!】

【If you ask me, let's just make unmanned boats, same model as drones. High quantity and satisfying, all for the Coast Guard and Fisheries Administration to use.】

"Dalian Shipyard seems to have developed an intelligent unmanned boat before, but it seems to have been abandoned for a long time," Brother Qi said.

【Didn't Dalian Shipyard take many orders for 10,000-ton destroyers? Can they still look at the Coast Guard's orders?】

【Don't underestimate the Coast Guard department. Their budget is sufficient. If there really is a suitable unmanned boat, they will definitely buy it like crazy!】

"It's still that old saying: abandon fantasies and prepare for battle. The situation around our Dragon Xia is becoming increasingly severe. Why does Japan dare to crazily provoke trouble? Isn't it because Eagle Sauce is supporting them from behind?" Brother Qi said with a sigh.

【That's right. The prerequisite for clearing the Dragon Xia rejuvenation script is to kill Eagle Sauce.】

【Eagle Sauce is a world tumor. As long as Eagle Sauce lives, we cannot sleep or eat in peace.】

【Didn't they say it? When Eagle Sauce falls, Long Xia gets fed. Now it's a strategic stalemate; let's see who can outlast whom.】

【No choice. Eagle Sauce has serious financial problems, excessive currency issuance, crazy interest rate hikes, and is siphoning the world. Now it depends on who can't hold on first.】

【But to be fair, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, Eagle Sauce is still the number one power on the blue planet. Long Xia must also guard against it jumping the wall like a cornered dog.】

"Sometimes we shouldn't underestimate the decision-making ability of the higher-ups. Eagle Sauce's indestructible golden body has now had one leg crippled; it just depends on when it can't help but enter the arena," Brother Qi commented.

【Eagle Sauce is more cautious than us now. Can it enter the arena?】

【If Eagle Sauce really enters the arena, it will be lively. It will directly start the Blue Planet Hegemony.】

【I'll backhand a "Happy New Year!" In that case, is this currently the Blue Planet Hegemony preseason?】

【Hegemony preseason? Yay! This time we are terrifyingly strong!】

Brother Qi said sternly, "Gentlemen, let's work hard! The great changes unseen in a millennium are coming!"

【Woohoo! Take off!!!】

The internet was in an uproar, but of course, this had nothing to do with Lu Shenwei.

After returning to the factory area, he immediately called Ma Quanlin: "Plans can't keep up with changes. The unmanned boat manufacturing might need to be accelerated."

"Zhou Cun will be back tomorrow. If there are any tasks, arrange them for me to do today," Ma Quanlin nodded and said.

"Notify all the workers in the dock, especially those five old Senior Engineers. We need to speed up the progress, strive to complete the unmanned boat scheme verification and design before the end of March, start construction in early April, and finish by June," Lu Shenwei said.

The schedule was something he had carefully considered. Don't look at the fact that Julong Steel Factory now has 8,000 workers; there are also many manufacturing projects.

The Julong Steel Pipe and Cylinder Manufacturing Department, the Unmanned Boat R&D and Manufacturing Department, the longmao agricultural vehicle R&D and Manufacturing Department, the Dream Transport Aircraft Disassembly and Research Department, the Longying Drone R&D and Manufacturing Department, and the Double Bone Dragon Large Unmanned Transport Aircraft R&D and Manufacturing Department—there isn't an idle person in any department.

"We are already working three shifts. If we want to speed up the progress again, we must expand the recruitment of technical workers," Ma Quanlin pondered.

Lu Shenwei thought for a moment: "Recruit if we need to; we can't let a small problem hold us back."

"Alright, I'll post the recruitment announcement this afternoon."

Ma Quanlin turned and left. As soon as the announcement was released that afternoon, the phones of Ma Quanlin, Wang Zizhong, and others were almost blown up.

Anyone who was related to the leaders of Julong Steel Factory was thinking of finding a way in.

From the moment the recruitment announcement was issued, Wang Zizhong's phone never stopped ringing.
