Zach shifted his gaze back toward Nathan as he shouted, “The men are ready for a battle anytime, Chief Cross!”
“Good! I knew my naval fleet would never let me down!” Nathan exclaimed with a contented look on his face.
The soldiers' eyes were filled with excitement upon hearing that. To them, receiving a compliment from the chief military governor was an incredibly honorable thing.
“Please give us your orders, Chief
Cross!” Zach continued.
“No need for that. We'll just treat this as a routine training exercise. I want you boys to show everyone our strength. We shall gain the trust of our allies and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies,” Nathan replied calmly.
Having heard what he said over the radio, the soldiers shouted in unison, “We will show them our strength, gain the trust of our allies, and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies!”
Feeling satisfied, Nathan gave the order, “Southern Fleet, roll out and rendezvous with Remdik's Pacific
Ocean Fleet! We will carry out a one-week training exercise!”
With that, the soldiers from the Southern Fleet immediately scrambled to their stations inside the ship and worked under the commands of their respective generals.
One after another, the submarines dove deep into the ocean and headed out silently underwater.

Fighter jets, reconnaissance aircrafts, and airborne early warning aircrafts soared through the sky.
Nathan, Zach, and the others too, took a helicopter to get on the deck of EU South.
