Chapter 1,127 Our Lady Saves the World
The rolling waves beat against the side of the ship, shattering the unmoving steel into pieces.
The radars and missile launchers on the guided missile cruiser are all in place, and they are only waiting for an order to come out in full force...
"Sir," he looked at the officer sitting at the side, a young man wearing a navy hat, his protruding Adam's apple moving up and down, and his green pupils could not tell whether he was determined or panicked, "What should we do?"
what should we do?
No one could answer this young man who had just left the military academy, not even the wrinkled veteran. Since they are standing here, they are soldiers, just an insignificant screw in this war machine. What they do is not up to them.
Instead of thinking about this unanswered question, it is better to think about a more realistic question...
What will happen to us?
Everyone is asking themselves, including the sailors in the warship, including, of course, the man standing on the bridge.
Hogg's face was ashen, and his murderous pupils had narrowed to a slit, just like the Star Ring Navy lined up in a row.
The Pacific Fleet, more than 150 kilometers away, responded to the combined fleet's toughness with artillery fire.
He made the choice immediately, including setting up an attack formation, sending carrier-based aircraft, sending destroyers...
There is no room for weakness. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he can only choose to move forward.
Representatives of various countries are looking at him, the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon are looking at him, and the people of the United States and even the world are looking at him. Those lines of sight were like sharp swords pressing against his back.
"The Star Ring Trade Fighters are approaching. They are moving very fast and our radar cannot lock on them..." came the adjutant's nervous voice.
"All carrier-based aircraft take off! Don't leave any of them behind." Hoge said coldly.
"Yes!" the adjutant replied through gritted teeth.
He had already expected this. As early as the war between the Philippines and New Zealand, it had been verified that the F-35 was not a match for the Aurora-20. However, despite this, there was no trace of fear on his face at this moment.
Although Aurora-20 is strong, it is by no means invincible. Under the cover of destroyers and missile frigates, even if a whole squadron is replaced by a small flying squadron,
The final winner can only be the United Fleet.
Although the electromagnetic gun is powerful, the boat carrying the cannon is still a mortal body. Anti-ship missiles and anti-ship torpedoes are used together. Maybe they can sink a few battleships or even the aircraft carrier in the center of the fleet, but that's all...
As for space-based weapons?
The distance of 36,000 kilometers takes a while to fly.
After issuing several orders in succession, Hogg felt a lot more relaxed.
It seems that this battle is destined to be fought...
…
"Twenty kilometers left."
Twenty kilometers.
At the current speed of the US destroyer, this distance may not last more than a few minutes. At that time, the forward of the Combined Fleet will cross the red line, and the Pacific Fleet will fight back with electromagnetic naval guns. The war is about to break out, and there is almost no room for maneuver.
After hearing the adjutant's report, Lei Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the approaching red dot on the radar. At this moment, his expression was like an eternal mountain, without any change.
The navies of the five countries, forty-seven modern ships, and more than a dozen squadrons... In his eyes, it was as if nothing existed.
"ten kilometers!"
The adjutant stared at the sea level in the distance with his eyes wide open, his arms bulging with veins, and his clenched palms were sweating profusely.
Two destroyers, one behind the other, were rushing toward the border a hundred kilometers away.
At this moment, Lei Zheng suddenly raised his hand and adjusted his navy hat.
"Five kilometers!"
Almost at the same time that the adjutant shouted these words, Lei Zheng took off the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.
"Attention all combat units, freely target all targets in the combined fleet except aircraft carriers, and prepare to——"
"Look! He, they retreated!"
A cry of surprise rang out, interrupting the battle order he was about to issue.
Lei Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, looking at the holographic screen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The two destroyers in the vanguard were almost about to rush into the new country's waters. However, just two kilometers before the border, they suddenly changed their course, made a nearly ninety-degree turn, and dispersed from both sides.
It was not only the two desperate destroyers that retreated, but also the combined fleet behind them...
…
Hillary was devastated.
And it collapsed completely.
She is a wise, strong, brave and capable politician, otherwise she would not have defeated her rivals and sat on the throne of the president. She has the top think tank in Washington and the best cabinet, but she doesn’t have one thing...
That is wolf nature.
In this peaceful era, this cannot be chosen no matter how many elections there are.
The sentiments of the Virgin Mary may be able to take votes from the pockets of the "white left" for her, but it will never be able to win a war for her.
When the Holy Mothers of North America happily cast their votes and handed the nuclear button into her hands, they believed that she would never press the button leading to hell. However, they never considered that this button could never be pressed. s consequence.
If there is no nuclear deterrence, can deterrence still be called deterrence?
The moment she met Jiang Chen's eyes, she felt herself being lifted out of the Pentagon by the neck and kicked into the arena.
The opponent standing in front of her was neither an equally shrewd politician nor a great leader, but a complete lunatic, a beast with a fierce look on his face.
At this moment, all strategies, games, and even language are useless.
What finally crushed her psychological defense was not Jiang Chen's eyes or his words "Are you ready?", but the tens of millions of families placed on the other side of the scale and the nearly century-long prosperity of the United States... …
It was the chips that overwhelmed her.
She must not let a nuclear war break out!
"Stop!"
At the tenth second of the countdown to nuclear war, she screamed uncontrollably, pushed open her suitcase desperately, rushed to the side of the Minister of Defense, grabbed his collar, and yelled "Military exercise" with all her strength. It’s over”, “Change of course” and the like…
History changed because of one word.
The destroyers retreated.
The combined fleet changed course.
The nuclear button is also gone from the screen.
Looking at the white snowflakes on the screen, Hillary gasped and took two steps back with a pale face.
That word seemed to drain all the strength from her body. If the military adviser and chief of staff hadn't supported her behind her, she wasn't even sure she would still be standing here.
This war cannot be fought after all.
The strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific and containing new countries also went bankrupt along with the hegemony of the United States.
From now on, nothing can stop the expansion of the global power grid, and nothing can dismantle the strong Earth Defense Alliance. The whole world has witnessed the retreat of the United States and the rise of new countries. Even the U.S. Navy, which spans all seven seas and five oceans, has one place it cannot cross.
That is the national gate of the new country. (To be continued.)
