Chapter 1,125 You Are the only Ones Who Cannot Retreat!

The whole world is waiting for Jiang Chen's reaction.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting in the Crescent Island military base, standing with the officers of the Star Ring Trade Armed Forces, staring solemnly at the more than forty arrows representing ships on the holographic screen, as well as the arrows on the map. Blocks are marked with a red cross.

Everyone held their breath.

"It seems they are not planning to retreat." Ivan said solemnly.

The United States is, after all, the United States, and its reputation as a great power is neither self-proclaimed nor trumpeted by the media, but created by aircraft and cannons. No matter how bitterly the Democratic Party and the Republican Party fought in Congress, and even if the ruling party was scolded by anti-war people as worthless, they never gave up when it was time to take action.

The fleets of other countries have always only given way to the U.S. Navy. How can there be any reason for small countries to draw boundaries and big countries to take detours?

If these hundreds of square kilometers of military restricted areas are delimited, both sides will still have room to take a step back. If the new country endures, the Pacific Ocean will still be the same calm Pacific Ocean, but the global power grid plan will most likely be ruined.

However, Xinguo chose to stand up and face the hegemony of the United States. Instead of retreating, it advanced instead. It drew its sword and pointed at the ground, drawing boundaries and asking: Do you dare to take a step forward?

The reaction of the United States was as expected by everyone. Not only did it take this step, it also asked: If I take another step, what can you do to me?

In the battle for hegemony, there is no room for compromise!

After all, the United States is not the Philippines. The Halo Marines captured Manila with overwhelming force and did not let the officers present be dazzled by the victory. The orbital airborne troops may have a combat power that is one to ten, but including the power armor brigades, there are only four brigades in total. Throw them on the North American road and I am afraid they will not even make a splash.

There was no fear on Ivan's face. Ever since Jiang Chen pulled him out of the quagmire in Ukraine, brought him here and entrusted him with an important task, he had sold his life to Jiang Chen from the bottom of his heart. However, he was fearless, and at this moment, his palms could not help but sweat.

He is not afraid of being beaten.

Star Ring Trade is not afraid of being beaten.

Only no one can bear the consequences of this war.

Nearly dozens of undersea missile silos fired tens of thousands of bombs, and EP weapons were enough to blow the entire North America back to the Stone Age.

But after this, the new country will probably cease to exist.

After all, technology is not magic.

Even in the distant 22nd century, no killing tool has been found that is cheaper and more convenient than nuclear weapons. The United States has never claimed not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, and its dozens of aircraft carrier battle groups and the North Atlantic Treaty are definitely not showpieces. Once Pandora's box is opened, no country will be spared.

Like a curse, a terrifying word appeared in every officer's mind.

World War III…

The officers began to whisper and discuss in low voices.

"Only diplomacy can solve this problem."

"This battle cannot be fought..."

"If we take another step forward, it will be a world war..."

At this moment, a soft hum sounded in the command center, interrupting all the whispers.

All the officers looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for the commander's decision.

Jiang Chen's expression was calmer than ever before, but the corners of his cold mouth gradually became arrogant. From those eyes as deep as the sea of ​​stars, Ivan saw a lot, but he couldn't see a word "retreat".

"What a coincidence, we don't plan to retreat either."

Each word he spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting every officer's heart.

Ivan sighed softly in his heart, what he was most worried about happened. But he had no regrets and no intention of persuading him. Even if Jiang Chen chose to press the button to open Pandora's box, he would follow his will without hesitation and execute orders to the last moment.

As for the looks in other officers' eyes, Jiang Chen also noticed them.

How could he not know that this battle cannot be fought?

But he was also very sober, and this time he absolutely could not retreat.

The United States has realized the threat of the new country. It no longer regards this small country as a smelly and hard stone, but completely regards it as an opponent.

This military exercise is just the beginning, sending a signal to other countries. What followed was a diplomatic siege and a total economic blockade. The new country can use its technological advantages to expand its territory in the international market, so why can't other countries unite to demand exorbitant prices from the new country?

He took two steps forward and walked in front of the officers. Jiang Chen looked straight at each officer's face and spoke in a moderate tone.

"You are all the mainstay of the Star Ring trade. When did you start caring about diplomats?"

As soon as these words came out, a trace of shame suddenly appeared on the face of the officer who had whispered before.

Ignoring the shame on the officer's face, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the holographic screen and said calmly.

"They're showing off on our doorstep."

This understatement touched the hearts of all the officers.

Just when everyone was stunned, the calm face suddenly smiled and the conversation changed.

"The Star Ring trade force was strong, and the warships guarded the country's gates. The Philippines provoked a small provocation during the National Day, and I ordered the navy to attack it. More than a hundred Philippine ships were turned into scrap metal, and more than 10,000 sailors were buried in the belly of the fish. Later, the Philippines surrendered and proclaimed itself a vassal. . Let me ask you, if the Philippines can fight, why can’t the United States? Are you all bullies and afraid of force?"

The officers who had previously been reluctant to retire had a look of shame on their faces.

The smile faded from his face, Jiang Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sternly.

"You are soldiers of the new country. Your backbone is the backbone of the new country, and your chest is the frontier of the new country."

"Their warships have arrived at our doorstep, and now they are ready to run over your chest and tear into pieces the sea rights we defend with guns and guns!"

"This battle has nothing to do with hegemony, it's about the fate of the country, and it's about dignity! The whole country can fight cowardly, but you can't! Everyone can retreat, but you can't!"

You are the only ones who cannot retreat!

That loud scolding was like a fire, burning in everyone's hearts.

Yes, they are soldiers, not politicians, nor diplomats. They always think only about war, and they can only think about war! Even if one step forward is an abyss, they must take this step!

The shame faded from their faces, everyone raised their heads, puffed up their chests, and there was no longer any timidity in their pupils.

Only that overwhelming fighting spirit!

"Ivan." Jiang Chen said loudly.

"Here!" The veteran straightened his back, his wrinkled face as cold as a blade.

"With 'Zhenyuan' as the flagship, all ships will be incorporated into the Pacific Fleet. Captain Lei Zheng will increase his military rank by one rank and be promoted to rear admiral. He will temporarily assume the position of fleet commander and lead the fleet out of the harbor to meet the attack!"

"Yes!" Ivan shouted.

The sonorous and powerful roar echoed in everyone's ears. Jiang Chen looked at the officers and gave the order with the greatest strength in his life.

"All officers, listen to the order and sound the first-level combat readiness alarm for me! The fighter jets take off! The Marines board the plane! The fleet leaves the port! All combat units, get out of my combat positions! You tigers, leopards and jackals dare to cross our country's gate, I I’ll make sure you never come back!” (To be continued.)
