"Although it's hard to accept, we must face the facts. Can a person survive a night submerged in the deep sea? Unless this Mr. Jiang is a fish," Yang Jigong said.
"He is not a fish, but I believe he won't die easily," Zeng Xianyi replied solemnly.
"Let's hope so," Yang Jigong was unwilling to argue further.
At that moment, the sun had completely risen above the horizon, casting a golden layer of light across the sea.
Though the warships were far apart, an atmosphere of tension began to permeate the air; even the warm sunlight could not ease the oppressive and deadly mood.
Yang Jigong felt nervous; after all, he was the primary authority here, and he knew that if things escalated, his side would be at a disadvantage. The United States, this colossal entity, along with the Island Nation and Great Britain supporting them, meant that Huaxia was definitely not their match.
Once gunfire erupted, Yang Jigong could already foresee the outcome. This was not a result he wished to see. Unlike Zeng Xianyi, who had a fiery spirit, Yang Jigong was inherently cautious. He believed in negotiation over conflict whenever possible.
Of course, he did not want to see his soldiers sacrificed. While soldiers who had not been tempered by battle were not considered qualified, Yang Jigong preferred a world where peace reigned and soldiers did not have to endure the trials of war.
Yet sometimes, peace is merely a slogan. Throughout history, wars have never ceased. Conflicts arise everywhere—between individuals, organizations, and sects; wherever there are people, there will be strife. When such conflicts escalate to the national level or beyond, they become wars.
Yang Jigong observed the personnel on other warships; those individuals were also watching Huaxia's side. They seemed united in their animosity towards Huaxia, viewing it as an enemy. After all, the entrance to the treasure lay within Huaxia's territorial waters.
This was a foregone conclusion: since the treasure was in Huaxia's waters, it naturally belonged to Huaxia. However, one should not take certain rules too seriously in this world because some people simply disregard them. Jiang Chen was one such person. So was the United States.
Powerful individuals and powerful nations often ignore rules.
Suddenly, a soldier approached with a laptop; a general from the United States invited Yang Jigong to a meeting via video call to discuss how to handle the underwater treasure. Yang Jigong nodded; he was certainly open to negotiations and believed that most problems could be resolved at the negotiation table.
However, Zeng Xianyi was different.
"What is there to discuss? This treasure lies beneath the sea of our Huaxia, so it naturally belongs to us. Just reply to him and say we do not accept negotiations. Let him give up on that idea. Moreover, if they dare to step one foot into our Huaxia territorial waters, they will be killed without mercy," Zeng Xianyi declared with authority.
The soldiers were taken aback but still looked towards Yang Jigong.
"Don't listen to him. You should reply to General Byersun and tell him I will be there shortly," Yang Jigong said.
After speaking, Yang Jigong glared at Zeng Xianyi. "This matter is my responsibility; you should not interfere. Do you think force can solve the current problem?"
"If force can't solve it, is there any other way?" Zeng Xianyi replied calmly.
"At the negotiation table, there is no problem that cannot be resolved," Yang Jigong said confidently.
"I hope you can resolve it," Zeng Xianyi said before falling silent, his deep gaze fixed unwaveringly on the surface of the sea.
