Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Do You Want a Warship?

The Mai Nation Navy was very interested in the mystery behind the missing cargo ships, but for escort purposes, one frigate was truly more than sufficient.

Any more than that would make people laugh their heads off. And besides, if a country were really testing new weapons, no one would recklessly attack a Merrick Navy ship—the sole superpower was just that confident.

Under such circumstances, the frigate unexpectedly went missing, and the anger of the Merrick Navy was unsurprising.

Quickly, someone used satellite positioning to locate a fishing boat and forcibly connected to the captain’s satellite phone, demanding he report what happened and ordering him to halt the vessel and wait for a Mai Nation Navy inspection.

Because the incident involved the disappearance of a warship, Merrick did not immediately announce the event but initiated a search first.

However, while they wanted silence, Indonesia wasn’t willing to comply. Soon, a phone call came in: “Our cargo ship can’t be reached; your escort warship owes us an explanation, doesn’t it?”

The Mai Nation Navy agreed to the escort due to the lavish payment. Upon hearing such questioning, they responded bluntly and aggressively, “We’re investigating!”

By the next morning, news of three missing cargo ships was finally leaked—not by Indonesia. Although they were irritated by Mai Nation’s attitude, they wouldn’t dare stir up the market at this point. The leak purely came from an adventurous civilian organization that discovered the situation.

Mai Nation’s Navy didn’t make any public statement regarding the news until two hours later when the pressure became unbearable—losing a warship was humiliating enough, but there were still so many soldiers aboard, who were all Mai Nation citizens!

They announced that the frigate “Lexington,” escorting the cargo ships, had gone missing along with them and that an emergency investigation was underway.

The announcement caused a worldwide uproar.
