That young man heard Ye Hao's words and looked at him as if he were looking at an alien. He asked, "Bro, don't you know the Philippines killed our fishermen in the Nansha Islands?"

"What? When did this happen?" Ye Hao asked in confusion, thinking it might be related to that previous period when the Philippines killed some people, and the effects haven't yet dissipated!

"It just happened yesterday. They killed more than twenty of our country's fishermen, and the reason was so flimsy and weak." The young man shook his head a bit helplessly, showing how disappointed he was with the military leaders. At the very least, shouldn't they stand up decisively in situations like this?

"What reason?" Ye Hao's face darkened, unable to comprehend how brazen the small nation of the Philippines could be.

"They claimed Shuanghuang Sandbar belongs to them and said our country's fishermen entered the waters of Shuanghuang Sandbar and killed them for that reason. Hey! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" The young man saw Ye Hao clench his fists tightly, his face flushed after hearing these words.

Lin Ruyu hurriedly went forward to support Ye Hao, saying, "Hao, don't get excited!"

Ye Hao's eyes cleared up upon hearing Lin Ruyu's words. He was indeed infuriated earlier. The Philippines claimed Shuanghuang Sandbar as theirs and even used this as a reason to kill. How could Ye Hao not be angry? Shuanghuang Sandbar has always been Huaxia's inherent territory.

Even though it has now been encircled into the territorial waters of the Philippines, Huaxia has always been tenaciously holding onto this place, not letting go. Therefore, the two countries have always been at odds, but this does not change the fact that Shuanghuang Sandbar has always been Huaxia's territory.

"Thank you." Ye Hao thanked the person who reminded him.

Then he took Lin Ruyu and the two of them went home.

As soon as they got home, Ye Hao immediately called Ye Batian, but the call was answered by Ye Tian.

"Hao, how come you have the time to call the old man?" Ye Tian laughed.

"Mr. Ye..."

"Hehe, what's the matter?" Ye Tian didn't notice Ye Hao's tone.

"I want to ask how Huaxia plans to deal with this issue with the Philippines?" Ye Hao's voice was a bit cold. Although he knew the backing of the Philippines was the United States, constant tolerance always makes one appear weak. With such immense power, one doesn't need to endure anything.

"This matter involves international disputes, don't be impulsive. Develop your career well." Ye Tian didn't dare to say much on this sensitive issue. After all, he was a committee member in Huaxia's political arena, and one decision from him could affect many people.

After all, committee members also have the right to make decisions.

"International disputes? Does constant tolerance from our Huaxia ensure that those countries will remain quiet?" Ye Hao asked.

"What else can we do?" Ye Tian, while having the heart to defend Huaxia's prestige, had very weak influence in Huaxia's political circles.

Even if he were to become one of the Nine States in Huaxia's Central Hub, he wouldn't dare recklessly order an attack on the Philippines. After all, in this era of no major turmoil, a war might trigger many chain reactions.

"Can't we at least attempt a strong counterattack?" Ye Hao asked in a low voice.

"Hao, this is an international dispute. If we strongly intervene, a small country like the Philippines is naturally not a big deal. But what we're fighting is not just the Philippines, but the disputes in public opinion! Once we intervene, the United States will surely get involved immediately, and once they intervene, Huaxia will find itself in a difficult situation. Southeast Asian countries will reconsider if they want to cooperate with us." Ye Tian explained.

"Will the United States respond that quickly if we attack the Philippines?" Ye Hao sneered.

"Aye, that's the key! A thousand kilometers from Treasure Island's sea area, in that territory-less ocean, there are tens of thousands of U.S. naval forces. It's virtually another naval base for the U.S., with twenty large warships and eighty small warships. With such strength, are we going to go head-to-head with them?"

"Why not? I, Ye Hao, will provide all the ammunition for this battle if needed." Ye Hao said coldly.

"Shut up, how can you say such things?" Ye Tian huffed over the phone. Though he was grateful for Ye Hao's patriotism, Ye Hao's straightforwardness would sooner or later put him at a disadvantage.

"Seems like Huaxia really has no capable people now!" Ye Hao said this and slammed down the phone.

Then he thought of Xiao Jiu's superior, Minister He Zhen...

He immediately called Xiao Jiu.

"Hello, Ye, how come you have time to call your old brother?" As Xiao Jiu answered the phone, he directly asked.

"Xiao, I want to ask, how does Minister He Zhen plan to handle this matter with the Philippines?" Ye Hao's voice was a bit strained, but he still held back his anger and asked politely.

"Ah! No way, the people above don't support it, and in this era, no one wants to fight a war." Xiao Jiu was also helpless. He wanted to promote Huaxia's prestige even more, but the people above him dared not take strong actions.

"Can I speak with General He Zhen?" Ye Hao's voice grew colder.

This wasn't coldness towards the incompetence of Huaxia's generals, but rather towards the Philippines' brazen actions.

"Okay, I'll ask the General how things are." At this moment, Xiao Jiu was planning to report the matter to Admiral He Zhen, so it was convenient for him to ask.

"Eagerly awaiting your good news, old brother." Ye Hao said and waited quietly.

Xiao Jiu went from the corridor into Admiral He Zhen's office and quietly asked, "Chief, Ye Hao wants to have a word with you, what do you think..."

"No, I won't take anyone's call; bunch of cowards." He Zhen shouted angrily.

Ye Hao heard it from the other end but didn't know why Admiral He Zhen was so enraged.

Xiao Jiu promptly withdrew and said to Ye Hao with a bit of helplessness, "Ye, no way, the General returned furious after a meeting this morning."

"What made him so angry?" Ye Hao asked.

"What else could it be? This morning, a few major chiefs of the military commission had a meeting, and the chief strongly demanded to go to war, but the two vice-chairmen, ah!" Xiao Jiu sighed, implying his point clearly.

"Old brother, could you pass a message to General He, that there's someone who might fulfill his dream of fighting the Philippines?" Ye Hao said calmly.

"Old friend, you are..." Xiao Jiu was taken aback.

"Old brother, if you trust me, then let General He know!" Ye Hao didn't explain much.

Xiao Jiu pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then took the phone and re-entered Admiral He Zhen's office.

Xiao Jiu stood in front of Admiral He Zhen and said somewhat apprehensively, "Chief..."

"What is it?" He Zhen looked at him angrily sitting on the chair and asked.

"Ye Hao..."

"I said, I won't take it." He Zhen roared again.

"General He, can you really endure those brazen kids from the Philippines jumping around right under Huaxia's nose?" Ye Hao unleashed the fifth stage of National Martial Arts and shouted into the phone. (To be continued.
