Jeet Kune Do! Inch Punch!
These two terms were never heard before! Could this Jeet Kune Do really be created by this young man?!
"Okay, I’ve noted it down!" Maradon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clutched his chest, and said gravely, "Thank you for the guidance. I will lead my team back to the United States now. We have been well taken care of in the Heavenly People’s Republic, thank you."
He then stood up and walked down from the ring.
Everyone in the arena was stunned, and it took a long while for them to react.
Won? Did we really win?
Soon, when everyone confirmed that their side had indeed won this time, everyone cheered!
"Hahahaha! We won! We finally won! This is fantastic!"
"That’s amazing, we won!"
"We won! We finally won this time; this is such a sweet revenge!"
"Yes, they had always been dominating us in the past, but this time we turned it around! I told you, how could our Heavenly People’s Republic be inferior to them in combat?"
All the soldiers in the arena were cheering, looking at Wang Hao with admiration.
After all, the military is a place where strength is highly valued, and as long as you have strength, you can earn the respect of your comrades!
"Good, good." Commander Xiang stood up, clapping and smiling as he said, "Little... Little Leng, well done. You really got us some revenge this time." He originally wanted to say Little Wang, but since Wang Hao had just introduced himself as Leng Feng from the War Wolf squadron, he naturally would not contradict Wang Hao in front of others.
"Hehe, Commander, look at you," Wang Hao hurried over with a smile, "Did I perform okay just now?"
"Farr more than okay," the Commander patted Wang Hao’s shoulder heavily, then smiled and said, "Come, let’s go and have a chat, just the two of us."
Zhao Zhenhao, who had been following along, looked at Wang Hao and then at Commander Xiang, taking a deep breath.
Brother Hao’s tactics were truly astonishing. Commander Xiang was famously difficult to deal with, and yet Wang Hao had him completely compliant, even proactively inviting Wang Hao for a talk. Such a thing was almost unprecedented in history!
"Please, after you, Commander," Wang Hao grinned, revealing sparkling white teeth.
Commander Xiang took Wang Hao and Zhao Zhenhao to a small meeting room in the training facility and sat down. Then, looking at Wang Hao, he smiled and asked, "Your performance today was excellent; I really liked it. You came to me today because you’re facing difficulties with your film, right? About that forced demolition plot approval issue?"
Is this getting down to business?
"Yes, yes, yes," Wang Hao quickly nodded, "Commander, look at this..."
"Alright, I’ll help you sort this out when the time comes," Commander Xiang was clearly in a good mood today. After being suppressed by those three U.S. Special Forces members for several days, he was finally able to vent his anger, so his attitude was different: "Anything else you need help with? Your film is military-themed, so just let me know what you need, and I’ll see what I can arrange."
Eh? So proactive?! Oh, our film still needs a lot of military equipment...
"Well... there is actually," Wang Hao scratched his head with a chuckle, "My film might need a substantial amount of military equipment..."
"Military equipment?" Commander Xiang frowned.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "This is a big deal; I can’t agree to it right now. How about this, let me take a look at your script, if you don’t mind?"
"Of course," Wang Hao quickly agreed, pulling out a USB drive, "It’s all here. I was thinking of discussing it thoroughly with you before coming. Please, take a look."
"Good." Commander Xiang took the USB drive, then shouted out the door, "Little Zhang, bring me a laptop."
"Yes!" Little Zhang, who was standing at the door, responded and quickly came in with a laptop.
As he booted up the computer and connected the USB drive, Commander Xiang began to read.
"Hmm... this scenario..." Starting from the beginning, he commented while reading, "The model of the warship used here during the evacuation is wrong. At the time, we deployed the latest 055 destroyer, and what you wrote here is somewhat trivial."
That... I really didn’t dare to write too large...
"And here," Commander Xiang continued looking, pointing to another part, "I won’t speak for other countries, but when it comes to evacuations, our country is definitely the fastest and most effective in the world. The troops and equipment you wrote about here are too few; the scale is too small."
Typical response from a military bigshot - Done grandly, indeed. So, you mean we can make this scene even bigger?
"Hmm?" As the script was overall not very lengthy, Commander Xiang quickly reached the last part where the protagonist raises the national flag while passing through the combat zone and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Good! Well done! Young man, you have high awareness. I love this part of the plot!"
Wang Hao: "Hehe, hehe, Commander, do you think this scenario... works?"
"Call me Grandpa!" Commander Xiang gave Wang Hao a playful thump on the head, "We’re all family here, no need to be so formal."
Oh my goodness! This is like clinging onto a giant tree, a towering one at that!
"Grandpa Xiang, good!" Wang Hao immediately went along, "About this..."
"Um, how should I put this," Grandpa Xiang smacked his lips, clearly indicating he had a bit more to say, "the scale just isn’t strong enough, not forceful enough! Why do you have to be so timid?"
Timid? This is already awesome, okay?! If it were any bigger, I’d be afraid I couldn’t handle it!
"So, what do you think about this..." Wang Hao cautiously asked, "How can we arrange it better?"
"Just give me the script, I’ll see who I can contact for you." Commander Xiang promptly unplugged the USB drive, then stood up, "You go back and wait for news, I’ll see what I can get for you."
Wang Hao’s eyes widened in surprise: "Okay, thank you so much, Grandpa Xiang!"
Exiting the hall, Wang Hao and Zhao Zhenhao exchanged glances. Wang Hao whispered, "Zhao, about this... Grandpa Xiang asking me to go back and wait for news, that’s okay, right?"
"It should be... fine?" Zhao Zhenhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "From what I know about him, if he promised, he will definitely do it, but I can’t be certain of the results..."
Back at the hotel, he started waiting nervously.
And so, the waiting lasted three days.
On the morning of the third day just as Wang Hao woke up, he heard a frantic knocking at the door!
"Brother Hao! Quick! Get up!" Zhao Zhenhao’s voice came from outside, "There’s news from them, they’re asking you to come over right now! Hurry, hurry, hurry! It’s urgent, we shouldn’t keep them waiting!"
Ah?! Finally, some news?!
Wang Hao rolled out of bed and said, "Coming, coming!"
He quickly dressed and after freshening up, he opened the door and followed Zhao Zhenhao out, "What did they say?"
"They just mentioned there’s the latest news," Zhao Zhenhao said as they ran, "told us to get there quickly. I’m not clear on the specifics, but I suppose there’s no way they’ll disappoint us, at least the review must have passed."
As long as the review is passed, we can continue filming, the rest can still be figured out slowly.
The two hopped into the car and sped off towards the military district compound where Commander Xiang lived.
This time, entry was much smoother. Once inside Commander Xiang’s courtyard, they found him lounging on a deck chair, leisurely sipping tea.
"Grandpa Xiang," Wang Hao hurriedly greeted him and eagerly poured him a cup of tea, "Here, have some tea, have some tea."
"Ah, the young rascal is somewhat observant," Commander Xiang was quite pleased with Wang Hao’s action, flicked him on the head, and said, "Sit down. You look quite anxious, huh?"
Could I not be anxious?!
Of course, being anxious, I still have to wait! Who dares to rush this military bigshot?
"Not anxious at all," Wang Hao quickly said with a laugh, "I just didn’t want to tire you out. I’m not in a rush at all!"
"Ha ha ha, you sweet-talker." Commander Xiang lay back in his chair, gave a gentle shake, and said, "I’ve been quite busy calling you these days, bumped into a few other old fellows, and plus, you’ve kept me occupied."
"Yes, yes, sir, you’ve worked hard," Wang Hao promptly stood up and went behind Commander Xiang to give him a shoulder massage, "Let me do this for you!"
Zhao Zhenhao watched, stunned!
Brother Hao’s flattery was just superb!
"Ah, this is not bad," Commander Xiang said with his eyes closed, "I really like that ’Jeet Kune Do’, you know about this..."
Eh? Jeet Kune Do? That’s no big deal!
"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Wang Hao immediately agreed, "Your word is my command, sir!"
"Ha ha, young man, this is what I like most about you!" Commander Xiang chuckled, then mumbled as if in a dream, "These days, I haven’t stopped running around for you. Yeah, promoting our national unity, extolling our country’s superiority, that’s excellent. I love this—six Type 59D tanks, three armored vehicles, whatever weapons you need, just ask..."
Fuck! Fuck! Six Type 59Ds and three armored vehicles?! Ask for whatever weapons I need?!
Commander Xiang is really powerful, damn!
But that wasn’t all, Commander Xiang continued to mutter, "Yeah, and three Type 055 destroyers, around twenty onboard missiles to lend you, just use them as you see fit, just don’t hurt anyone..."
Holy moly! Three Type 055 destroyers and twenty missiles, and I can use them as I please!
Finally, Commander Xiang rolled over, "There’s also the Type 001A aircraft carrier, a Type 039B improved submarine, Type 071 dock landing ship, Type 072A new medium landing ship, Type 055 large missile destroyer, and Type 054A frigate, plus onboard fighters, I’ve borrowed them all for you... But arranging the aircraft carrier group was a bit tough and pricy, I’m charging you twenty million a day. Just shoot with it for a day, I think that should be enough time, it’s just several long shots..."
Can I say I’m invincible now?!
