Chapter 751 - The Third Duel (2/2)
"Oh! Alright then!" Si Tuying nodded.
"Lay down for a while. I will talk to Shang Guanqi." As Si Tuying had just received a large amount of information, she needed time to lie down and process the information. Therefore, Jiang Fei decided to speak to Shang Guanqi on his own. He then walked out of the room.
"Is it all done?" As soon as she heard Jiang Fei walk out of the room, Shang Guanqi came over.
"Yeah. It's all done. Sister, I need your help with something." Jiang Fei laughed as he spoke.
"What's that?" Shang Guanqi asked.
"If you have time, please teach Si Tuying a few things about martial arts. She does not have any foundation at all. It would be very troublesome for her to learn on her own," Jiang Fei said frankly. As he treated Shang Guanqi as his own sister, he did not beat around the bush.
"Aren't you worried that I might steal the techniques from her?" Shang Guanqi asked curiously. After all, she was aware of the forbidden act in the martial arts world.
"What's there to be worried about? If you want to learn, I could give you the secret techniques directly." Jiang Fei laughed. He did not care about sects and such trivial things. If Shang Guanqi believed that 0541's specially designed techniques were helpful for her, Jiang Fei was more than happy to provide her with those techniques.
"Hehe. Alright then. I'll teach Si Tuying about martial arts in my free time!" Shang Guanqi replied as she laughed.
While Jiang Fei was transferring memory into Si Tuying's mind, the third duel between China and the major rice-exporting country had begun.
This time, it was not because the major rice-exporting country had figured out how to fight against China's battle aircraft. Instead, it was because Robert could no longer handle the pressure from the government. After two consecutive failures, he still could not figure out the enemy's weaknesses. While it put Robert in a very difficult position, it also meant that he could potentially be fired.
He was still allowed to stay on in his role because the major rice-exporting country was determined to go to war against China. Moreover, it was also a huge taboo for an army's commander to be changed right before a war. Otherwise, Robert would already have received his termination letter.
Therefore, Robert was acutely aware that he could no longer prolong the wait. If he continued to waste time and resources of the military, the thirst for war would dissipate which might mean the war might not take place at all. If that were to happen, Robert would lose the chance of redeeming himself by winning the war. By then, his would be out of a job.
Therefore, Robert decided in his heart that he must immediately take on the third duel. He could only hope that they won this time. However, Robert had very little hope for that to happen. After all, they were still unable to decipher the Chinese battle aircraft's attributes.
If they lost again, Robert would claim that the Chinese had cheated. He would then highlight the fact that the major rice-exporting country had sacrificed their own pilots which would heighten the emotions in the country. As such, the government would be pressured to go to war immediately.
As long as the war took place, Robert would be able to keep his role as the commander of the fleet until the end of the war. If they were to win the war, he would be able to redeem himself for his previous failures. Robert had not even considered the possibility that they might lose. After all, how could the major rice-exporting country's fleet lose in battle? Moreover, they had the support from the European Alliance's fleet. The Chinese could not possibly win unless they had help from aliens.
As such, Robert decided to initiate the third duel without having figured out how to defeat the enemy's battle aircraft.
Although China wanted to drag the period of duels, Han Tianyu naturally would not reject his request to begin the third duel immediately. After all, China had already bragged in the past that they had developed technologically advanced equipment. If they were to reject the request, their enemy might start suspecting otherwise.
Thus, an overwhelmingly under-prepared battle aircraft from the major rice-exporting country took off from Tokyo and headed toward the fight zone. A Planet Namek aircraft from China also took to the air.
