Chapter 142:142

The West Philippine Sea, still echoing with the remnants of the recent naval battle, now played host to a momentous occasion—the arrival of Admiral Yamamoto, the Japanese fleet commander, on a Philippine Navy helicopter. The chopper, adorned with the insignia of peace, flew low over the calm waters and touched down on the flight deck of the Philippine Navy's flagship, the formidable aircraft carrier.

Admiral Reyes, standing on the deck with a contingent of officers, observed the arrival with a mix of wariness and anticipation. The distinctive whirr of helicopter blades grew louder as the aircraft approached, settling into a controlled landing. The deck crew, disciplined and efficient, secured the chopper, signaling the arrival of the distinguished guest.
