In just a moment, the entire venue was boiling as if a basin of cold water was poured into a frying pan.
Jiang Cheng's words were undoubtedly a bombshell!
Prior to this, all the distinguished guests who came to the dinner had anticipated that the theme of this dinner was that Emerald Island would try every possible means to eliminate the impact of the pirate harassment.
However, they never imagined that Emerald Island would take direct action.
And it was a military action!
They are not fools and can easily guess what this means. Emerald Island already has its own military force!
When they thought of this, everyone's heart was secretly shaken.
Prior to this, Emerald Island had always been active in the international arena as a regional organization without a political structure, and what the world praised was only its pristine scenery and technological strength.
But now, when it has its own military power, everything will become completely different!
The situation around Emerald Island has always been in a very sensitive state, and this originally relatively delicate situation began to tilt after Emerald Island came into being.
It was under this situation that the previous series of pirate harassment incidents occurred.
Now, Emerald Island has developed from a simple technological island into a region with its own military power, which is bound to cause the already tilted situation to become even more unstable.
For a moment, all the guests present couldn't help but feel a little worried about what would happen next.
There is no other reason. The current Emerald Island does have strong economic and technological strength, but in terms of military, it is, after all, a blank slate.
Before this, they had never heard of Emerald Island developing research on military equipment, so they were still deeply skeptical about Emerald Island's current military capabilities.
However, no matter what, what Jiang Cheng said just now has proved that Emerald Island will show its military strength.
Therefore, realizing this, the mood of all the guests present couldn't help but become a little complicated. They were a little worried that the situation would change, leading to changes in future cooperation with Emerald Island, but at the same time they were full of expectations.
After all, if Emerald Island can rely on its own military strength to deal with all harassment from hostile forces, it will be very helpful for long-term cooperation in the future.
Just when all the guests were feeling a little nervous, Jiang Cheng on the stage did not just sit there and wait, but raised his hand and waved.
Then, a huge electronic screen slowly descended from the ceiling of the conference hall.
Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but feel confused, wondering what Jiang Cheng was up to.
However, they didn't have to wait long before they discovered something unusual.
On the screen, a huge picture of the sea appeared, with a lonely island in it. Looking at the outline, everyone immediately realized that this should be the Emerald Island where they were now.
At this time, Jiang Cheng on the stage also spoke.
"I'm sure everyone here knows that Emerald Island has been harassed by some hostile forces in the surrounding waters recently. According to the latest intelligence we have seized, a large number of ships full of armed personnel will attack the east coast of Emerald Island tonight, where the Dream Paradise Resort is located. There are more than 400,000 tourists playing and traveling there now."
"boom!"
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the whole audience burst into exclamations again.
Obviously, this piece of news is even more shocking than what was just said.
An armed force is attacking Emerald Island on a warship!
And it’s not small in scale!
Their target is the most famous holiday paradise in Emerald Island!
There are more than 400,000 tourists there!
When these pieces of news were heard and connected together, all the guests couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
Heavily armed troops, attacking unsuspecting tourists
If this happens, what will it mean? Everyone is horrified!
This is a naked massacre!
What a cruel person must be to do such a thing.
When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of solidarity and hatred for this group of inhumane armed men.
However, now, the issue that concerns them more is, since Emerald Island has received such accurate intelligence, what countermeasures will it take
After all, they had just learned from Jiang Cheng that this group of armed men had made sufficient preparations and even brought out highly offensive warships. This was enough to show that their goal was to destroy Emerald Island.
Putting aside whether this group of armed men can capture Emerald Island, the consequences of such a massacre are far beyond what Emerald Island can bear at present.
It is conceivable how much pressure Emerald Island will be under when something like this happens.
To put it bluntly, from now on, Emerald Island has completely fallen from the altar!
Who would dare to come to an island with no ability to defend itself, a place where people can be killed at will
Thinking of this terrible consequence, everyone turned their eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng on the stage.
They knew that the owner of Emerald Island, now that he had learned of this urgent information, would definitely not sit idly by.
Moreover, thinking about what the other party said when he just came on stage, it is even more proved that the other party must have made sufficient countermeasures, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stand here so calmly and have such a dinner with them.
Sure enough, at this time, after telling the thrilling news, Jiang Cheng did not show a worried look like the guests present, but instead looked calm and composed.
Seeing the concerned looks of the guests, Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, and without further explanation, he directly pressed the switch of the remote control in his hand.
Then, the picture on the screen changed. The original map of the Emerald Island sea area disappeared and was replaced by a scene of a vast ocean.
Apparently, this live footage was captured from a special night camera, which allows such clear footage to be captured even in the dark of night.
It can be said that except for the slightly dim light in the picture, there is no difference from the scene shot during the day.
After seeing this, everyone had a more intuitive understanding of Emerald Island’s technological strength.
However, they focused more on the shooting scenes.
The screen showed a sea with rolling waves. At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but not long after, a cry of surprise was heard in the conference hall.
"Look at the lower right corner!"
Following this exclamation, everyone's eyes turned to the bottom of the screen.
Sure enough, something strange appeared above the vast ocean.
I saw a fleet of about 30 warships, in a tight formation, slowly appearing on the screen. The most important thing was that there were many gun emplacements on the warships, and a large number of armed personnel with live ammunition were standing in line on the decks of the warships.
The entire fleet looked well-trained.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts!
This powerful fleet is actually heading towards Emerald Island!
