Chapter 51: You said, what would happen if we took the opportunity to strike the United States?

At the Information Detection Center, the analyst confirmed it was the Indian Ocean—there was definitely something amiss with the Americans there. However, currently above the Indian Ocean, strong-frequency interference from U.S. military satellites was present. This rendered their “agricultural satellite” unable to penetrate the enemy’s defenses.

“We must report immediately!”

The analyst recognized the gravity of the situation; the Indian Ocean connects to the Strait of Malacca, the lifeline of East Asia. No mistakes could be tolerated.

With a flash of resolve, he immediately dialed the command center.

“Beep beep beep—”

“Information Detection Center? What have you found?”

The call connected swiftly; the voice on the other end was loud and brisk, demanding a prompt explanation.

“This is the Information Detection Center. Satellite J5614 has observed a U.S. military satellite emitting a jamming signal over the Indian Ocean. This location is sensitive. Requesting authorization for ‘access.’”

The analyst explained the situation without delay.

“Over the Indian Ocean?”

The voice on the other end showed disbelief but wasted no time in responding: “Access granted. Find out immediately why they are concealing this.”

“Link the detection center’s data feed to the command center. We will follow up personally!”

“Yes, sir!”

After responding, the analyst began his operation. First, he transmitted the data to the command center for real-time monitoring. Then, he prepared to “access” the area shielded by the American jamming.

“I want to see what they’re hiding, all secretive and furtive.”

The analyst sneered coldly.

Meanwhile, a Chinese “agricultural” satellite, originally in orbit, suddenly cast a large net. The satellite then maneuvered toward the U.S. satellite.

Soon, the “agricultural” satellite caught up to the American spy satellite. At the moment they were about to pass each other, the “agricultural” satellite abruptly changed course. The net, trailing behind, ensnared the American spy satellite.

Caught in the net!

But it was not over yet.

Using its remaining fuel, the “agricultural” satellite spun several times in place and then suddenly released the net’s latch. The American spy satellite was flung like a metal ball, hurtling toward Earth.

“Success!”

With this sequence of moves, they had kicked the enemy satellite away.

The analyst quickly stabilized his satellite and focused its observation on the Indian Ocean. The image zoomed in relentlessly, down to centimeter-level precision, as the “agricultural” satellite brazenly surveyed the vast ocean.

“Found it!”

Locating the enemy’s carrier fleet in the vast ocean was difficult, but after relentless effort, he finally pinpointed it.

However, once the analyst clearly saw the enemy fleet’s position, his face stiffened and his pupils contracted sharply.

“How did they get all the way here?!”

...

In the United States, at the Space Force base.

Ellariel was anxiously dealing with various issues from the space agency. With China having successfully landed on the moon, pressure was mounting on their side. He was nearly overwhelmed after a full day of work.

“Tap tap tap tap.”

Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached from outside.

Bang—

The office door burst open. Michelle, an employee, rushed in, pale and gasping in panic.

“Director! The Space Force’s spy satellite has come under attack and was forced to lower its orbit. Our concealment over the Indian Ocean has failed!”

“What!”

Ellariel jumped up in alarm, his face full of panic. This was something the Department of Defense and Fred had specifically ordered him to secure.

“Quick, get me the President!”

...

Beep beep beep—

An emergency tri-service meeting convened online.

The South China Sea Information Detection Center shared the latest detected positions of the U.S. fleet with various command units.

“From their positions, the Eisenhower’s two carrier groups are nearly at the Strait of Malacca. Along with the fleet at Yokosuka, the U.S. Navy is about to assemble four carrier groups in the Western Pacific.”

The Air Force commander frowned deeply.

“No, it’s five. You’re forgetting the fleet returning to the U.S. The enemy is dawdling around Guam, refusing to leave.”

The Navy general’s face darkened. He gestured over the map, narrowing his eyes.

“Do they really want to come at us and fight a full-scale battle?”

The Army’s senior commander rubbed his temples.

They were caught off guard.

“Maybe, but we have to be prepared.”

The Navy general seemed to have an idea; his expression softened slightly.

“Begin battle readiness. Although their intention is unclear, these visitors are not friendly.”

“If they really want to fight head-on, so be it.”

“The space agency has shattered America’s space myth; why can’t we do the same?”

“This is our doorstep. Are we afraid of them?”

“That’s right! Not afraid at all!” The Air Force commander was burning with anger, nearly cursing aloud.

“Damn it, we’ve held back for too long. If they want a fight, let them have it!”

“At home, I’ve got over a hundred coastal airbases. What are a few of their carriers to me?”

“If they really make a move, not only will we fight, we’ll fight brilliantly—something inspiring!”

After speaking, the Air Force commander turned to the Army and Rocket Force comrades and shouted:

“You, with your rockets and hypersonic missiles, aim them at the carriers.”

“If they dare strike, blast them to hell.”

“First, blow up a carrier for fun!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been itching to test the power of our anti-ship missiles.”

The Rocket Force general’s eyes gleamed with excitement. The enemy was about to bully them; their time to serve the country had come.

“By the way, I have an even better idea. Let’s make this battle a demonstration of China’s might,” the senior Army commander said with a mysterious smile, glancing around before chuckling.

“Tell me, what if at the moment of engagement, we crush these five carrier groups outright? What would America do?”

“Crush all five carriers? At the moment they meet?”

The Air Force commander lowered his head thoughtfully, then after a moment, exclaimed:

“I’d rather test the kinetic electromagnetic pulse weapons on the U.S. Navy first.”

“You mean, as soon as they make a move, we strike immediately?”

“Why not?”

The Army commander chuckled.

“If the enemy really wants to pressure us, they’ll surely bring fleets from Japan and South Korea.”

“We’ll use decoys to confront them. Once they fire, we strike.”

“Fast, precise, ruthless!”

“Destroy their ships and capture them all!”

“Tell me, what changes will this bring to the world?”

His eyes narrowed slightly, a smile tugging at his lips.

They had confidence in their kinetic weapons.

“Perhaps this time, we can sever America’s arm directly!”

He looked around once more, eager for others’ agreement.
