Not long after the conversation with Datu Hou ended, unexpected changes occurred on the calm sea.
Sunlight poured down through the shimmering water, casting a fascinating play of light and shadow over the sea.
Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, pushing aside thousands of tons of seawater as if a mountain had abruptly risen in the ocean. A black whale seeming to leap through the waves, a dark military ship surfaced on the sea.
The massive impact even stirred up giant waves, with eight octopus-like living arms at the bottom thrashing the water, rolling up towering waves and emitting a deep, powerful hum.
After the leading Ilova River Deep Diving Cruiser appeared, the ocean again raised five waves, with five deep-diving cruisers surfacing in succession like giant whales.
After surfacing, the Ilova River cruised towards the dock, while the other five Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruisers returned to the open sea to patrol vigilantly, not approaching the dock to prevent any incidents, ready to alert, counterattack or dive into the deep sea if danger arose.
The sound of the long whistle roared as if the sea god was angrily roaring. As the Ilova River Deep Diving Cruiser surfaced near the dock, a strong mechanical scent mixed with the salty sea breeze rushed in, with the sunlight shining on the ship's body,and the contrast between the cold steel and the vast ocean starkly clear.
The scene was utterly awe-inspiring, a cruiser 246 meters long, 37 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 45,500 tons, coupled with the towering superstructure. Calculating from the keel, the overall height of the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser exceeded 50 meters, equivalent to the height of a sixteen-story building.
Imagine such a mobile high-rise, 246 meters long, leap from beneath the sea; the picture alone spells out how extravagant and stunning the sight was.
The on-site audience couldn't help but gasp, their pupils quaking, utterly overwhelmed by this remarkable spectacle.
Journalists from various media outlets pushed their shutter buttons excitedly, capturing this precious moment with cameras, preparing to feature the mighty stance of the Devourer Cruiser as the headline for tomorrow's newspapers.
Datu Hou's eyes widened in astonishment. At this moment, he no longer regretted agreeing to the terms proposed by the Jieke Group. Such military and naval strength are completely beyond the capacity of their small Johor to contend with.
Giovanni kept pressing the camera, providing photo resources to the CIA, gazing at those massive and beautifully designed Cruiser Arsenal Ships with his heart pounding like drums, in sheer amazement.
The visual impact of these Cruisers Arsenal Ships even surpassed the intimidation brought by aircraft carriers.
After surfacing, all six Devourer Cruisers fully activated, flaunting eight 30mm 11-barrel close-in guns, 203mm dual-mounted cannons, and numerous missile launch units, displaying a posture of full readiness and showing muscles to the outside world.
Beneath the sea, eight hefty living arms twisted and coiled, each over a hundred meters long, resembling colossal sky-swallowing serpents, stirring the seawater into swirling whirlpools, rendering spectators dry-mouthed.
On the superstructure, 158 crew members and 15 Genetic Warriors in neat steps walked out, standing in white naval uniforms along both sides of the deck swept by seawater, with ramrod-straight postures like javelins, saluting towards the cheering crowd at the dock.
"My God, it's so damn spectacular, is this the Cruiser Arsenal Ship? It's gigantic beyond imagination! This length rivals a battleship!"
"Wow wow wow, what is this all about, with the tentacles and steel missiles, just looking at the exterior tells me this thing is incredibly powerful."
"Fake, are you sure this isn't alien technology? A biological ship intertwined with steel, it's beyond imagination, freaking awesome."
Those foreign tourists who saw the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser couldn't help but curse; their hearts struck with shock beyond measure.
Anyone witnessing a warship for the first time, even a ship of a few thousand tons, would feel overwhelmed, let alone such a ship representing Blue Star's latest technology, weighing over 40 thousand tons, comparable in size to mighty battleships.
Especially in outward appearance, the Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser's pleasing look even surpasses flat-decked aircraft carriers, holding its own even when compared to battleship aesthetics.
Because there are also eight hundred-meter-long living arms, the sight of those biological arms would make goosebumps fall off all over the ground, instilling a sense of sheer terror within many, with them genuinely fearing this cruiser, where fear is the highest praise for a warship.
Compared to those foreign tourists, the people under Jieke Group's reign are far more pure-hearted.
"Ah, ah, ah, it's a warship, it's our Country's warship, it's amazing, truly amazing."
"Wuwu, never thought I'd see our Country's mighty warship in my lifetime. God bless our Country, thank you heaven, thank you Jieke Group, thank you the great Commander Su."
"Quick, take a picture for me. When I'm old, I want to tell my grandchildren the story of the Mengjia Bay sea battle. Their grandfather witnessed Chan Country's incredible might."
"This is our warship. I reckon it's not inferior to Beautiful Country's aircraft carriers, haha; our Navy is number one under the sky."
Thunderous cheers erupted among the crowds, with numerous citizens waving national flags, their faces flushed red, uncontrollably jostling forward, wishing to get closer to their Country's mighty warship.
The soldiers responsible for security could only keep persuading them to exercise restraint, but even the soldiers themselves, gazing at the six Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruisers floating on the sea, felt a sense of pride and honor.
