Eagle Nation Foreign Ministry press conference site, Washington, D.C.
The press conference was delayed forty minutes than scheduled.
When the speaker walked onto the podium solemnly, the whole place was already packed.
He was almost overwhelmed by the excitement and expectant gazes.
On the background board, the Eagle Nation flag and the Foreign Ministry badge look particularly solemn under the light.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the spokesperson did not say any greetings and went directly to the topic.
The sound is transmitted to every corner of the conference room through the Mike wind.
"Today, on behalf of the Eagle Nation government, what happened today in the Rabbit Nation waters.
We issue a solemn statement in response to the vicious attacks on the Seventh Fleet flagship and Japan Footpan Chicken aircraft carrier of our navy."
The sound of a pindrop could be heard in the venue, and the only sound of the camera shutter was like a pelting rain.
He adjusted his glasses and read out the carefully considered manuscript:
"The Eagle Nation government condemns this despicable and cowardly attack in the strongest possible terms.
This is a deliberate sabotage of our military's ships that are operating normally in waters permitted by international law.
It caused heavy casualties and property losses, and was a serious threat to international peace and security.
It is a gross challenge to the rules-based international order."
"Preliminary evidence suggests that the attack was characterized by a highly sophisticated insider infiltration.
Its mode of action far exceeds the capabilities of ordinary countries.
In this incident, we have obtained sufficient evidence that it was Rabbit Nation's behavior.
We demand that the Rabbit Nation authorities take full responsibility for this incident.
We also unconditionally promise to put an end to such dangerous and irresponsible actions.
And give a formal diplomatic reply within 24 hours.
"No! Eagle Nation will take all necessary military actions to defend the country's security and protect its soldiers and property.
and safeguard all rights to freedom and safety of global maritime navigation.
We call on the international community to jointly condemn this destabilizing behavior.
And join us in holding responsible parties to bear the full consequences of their actions."
"At the same time, we reiterate that Eagle Nation is always committed to resolving differences through diplomatic channels.
After reading the statement, the spokesperson turned around and left without giving reporters a chance to ask questions.
Leaving behind an uproar and a frenzied chase with flashing lights.
"Condemn", "demand explanation".
"All necessary military action".
Media headlines around the world were instantly ignited.
--<Eagle Nation is heavily condemned! The target is pointed at Rabbit Nation!>
--<The aircraft carrier was attacked! The boss and the second boss are on the verge of a showdown?>
--<"Ghost Attack"? The beginning of a new hybrid war?>
--<Eagle Nation's statement leaves room for improvement, is there still room for improvement in the all-out conflict?>
Commentators, analysts, and politicians were extremely excited, and various interpretations and predictions flooded the airwaves and the Internet.
Everyone realizes that a historic and tense moment has arrived.
What shocked the outside world even more was Rabbit Nation's hand.
It's not a confrontation, it's not a friction, it's a direct and precise paralysis of one of the opponent's most powerful maritime symbols!
This kind of "fixed-point blasting" toughness is beyond the imagination of many people.
Rabbit Nation, early morning, in the toilet of a residential building
The alarm clock hasn't gone off yet, 25-year-old cow horse, Li Yanzu.
Awakened by his biological clock and the vague urge to urinate, he stumbled into the bathroom.
Sitting on the toilet, my eyes haven't fully opened yet, but my fingers have already habitually unlocked my phone.
Click on the short video APP with the black icon.
Scroll down inertly, skipping a few boring funny jokes and food recommendations.
Suddenly, a video with the "official", "hotspot" and "emergency" logos was automatically pushed in.
The cover shows a deep night sky and a blur of light spots on the sea.
The headline is sensational: [Major incident in sea area!]
Rock Lee's sleepiness disappeared in an instant and he clicked in.
The video has no narration, only low and depressing background music.
The picture is a clear satellite infrared image, and the timestamp shows that it was several hours ago.
A behemoth, people familiar with military affairs can recognize the outline of the Japanese aircraft carrier Footpan Chicken.
It is sailing on the sea, surrounded by light spots of escort ships.
Suddenly!
Several high-temperature white spots erupted from multiple parts of the aircraft carrier's superstructure almost at the same time!
Immediately afterwards, the white spots expanded and turned into groups of roiling and diffuse infrared signals.
Shows the huge heat generated by explosions and fires.
The ship's hull vibrated visibly, and the light spots of the surrounding escort ships began to move chaotically.
Although distant and silent, the real picture is full of impact.
The video finally freezes on the satellite image of the burning aircraft carrier, with a line of text typed:
"The situation continues to be monitored! Do not believe rumors and do not spread them!"
Rock Lee woke up completely and opened his mouth slightly.
He instinctively opened the comment area. It was completely blown up. Please refresh it.
The number of likes and comments soared by tens of thousands.
The most popular one (350,000+ likes):
"Holy shit!!! Really targeted demolition?! This is too fierce! (tactical retreat)"
Reply 1 (120,000+ likes):
"Watch your words upstairs! We have always loved peace. It must have been Yingjiang who accidentally lit the firework warehouse! (The dog head saves his life)"
Reply 2 (50,000+ likes):
"This... this penetrating ability... I can't think of any other word other than 'justice from heaven', which deeply hides merit and fame."
The second most popular comment (280,000+ likes) comes from a military blogger:
"Looking at the distribution of explosion points, we aim to accurately attack the command center and communication nodes, and pursue paralysis rather than sinking.
This is the most efficient and most deterrent special operations and technical strike mode.
If it is true, then our country's attack model... I am horrified when I think about it, but also proud of myself!"
Reply: "The blogger's analysis is right! It seems that the new equipment is not for nothing!"
The third most popular comment (150,000+ likes, but also a very high number of dislikes):
"Haha, some people still believe that we did it? You can even touch the edge of the aircraft carrier?
Just wait and wait for the Eagle officials to slap you in the face. If they do, you will cry."
Reply 1(: "Sheepdog, get out of here! Roots are growing on your knees? Can't you see your own good?"
Reply 2: "Yes, yes, it's all fake. The aircraft carrier Yingjiang likes to set off fireworks in the early morning, and the captain is still watching videos in the toilet!"
Other fast-scrolling comments:
"Show me this early in the morning? The class today is particularly exciting!"
"I only have one question: When will the live broadcast of the aircraft carrier commemorative fragments be sold?"
"Keep a low profile! We don't know anything, it's all coincidence!"
"Am I the only one concerned about crew casualties? I hope the civilian soldiers are okay."
"Holy Mother upstairs, wake up and think about what they did to us in the past?"
"Technical analysis post is here! [Link] Check the video authenticity from satellite parameters..."
"Whether it's true or not, the fact that this video was released speaks for itself. Sit tight on the Diaoyutai and wait and see what happens."
The comment area is refreshing at the rate of tens of thousands of comments per second, and the number of likes is jumping like crazy, increasing by hundreds of thousands every second.
Shock, ecstasy, analysis, satire, quarrels, ridicule... all kinds of emotions and positions collide fiercely here.
This morning, countless ordinary people like Rock Lee are in the toilet, in bed, and in front of the breakfast table.
I was completely awakened by this push and was involved in an explosion in a distant sea.
Amidst the information tsunami sweeping the world.
The Internet has completely boiled over before reality.
