The next day. The news of the captured Philippine Navy quickly caused a worldwide sensation.
This time, eight warships of various sizes from the Philippine fleet were captured, with over a thousand officers and soldiers taken hostage.
Agence France-Presse quickly came up with a headline.
The Philippine regular army repeatedly lost to pirates, a thousand officers and soldiers captured.
The British media also commented, stating that the Philippine naval combat capability is weaker than that of the pirates, and the country's maritime defenses are worrying.
The Stars and Stripes Country unabashedly stated that if the Philippines were not under the protection of the Stars and Stripes Country, they would likely have long been occupied by pirates on Yongfan Island...
After the Philippine Navy was captured, the Vietnamese Navy, which originally planned to conduct military exercises near the waters of Yongfan Island, embarrassingly retreated without daring to make a sound.
