821 Intelligence is very important

National power is sometimes an overt strong presence. When a country's national power is robust, its subjects tend to unconsciously display a rightful dominance in their external actions.

On the Great Tang Empire's destroyer, as single-barreled 127mm caliber cannons pointed toward a distant fishing boat, the gunners were genuinely prepared to fire.

This was not a timid threat but a sincere desire to execute orders and achieve merit.

All soldiers had rushed to their battle stations, and sailors, wearing orange life jackets, looked through the anti-aircraft gun sights at distant targets under the rims of their steel helmets.

They were just waiting for the command to unload their ammunition on the target until the inconspicuous little fishing boat was sunk.

To their regret, before the command to attack was issued, the distant boat began to turn and constantly repeated the light signal "We mean no harm."
