Chapter 58: Beating Japan? Sorry, I Have the National Buff!

At this moment, in the capital city, inside the Purple Lotus Pavilion.

Zhu Jincheng paced anxiously before Commander One, waiting for news from the frontline.

Since the United States had encircled their fleet and shot down their decoys, he had been filled with worry.

The battlefield situation was ever-changing; no one could guarantee their plan’s success.

To be honest, he was quite nervous.

“All right, Old Zhu, no need to be so tense,” Commander One said calmly, pouring himself a cup of tea with composure, exhaling lightly, and smiling cheerfully.

“The power of the kinetic energy warheads is evident to all. Unless an alien fleet suddenly appears, even if a coalition navy of 170 countries united, they’d be finished in the South China Sea today.”

“You’re even more confident than I am!” Old Zhu exclaimed with some irritation, exhaling deeply. Though he understood the situation, he just couldn’t shake his anxiety.

This was a moment worthy of being recorded in history books!

If the United States were defeated here, how could they still challenge the Chinese nation in the future?

“Beep beep beep—”

Just as the two were speaking, the quantum communication line rang!

Old Zhu’s eyes instantly sharpened. He hurried over and connected the call.

“Commander One, Old Zhu here. Our fleet has launched a counterattack. The kinetic warheads were successfully deployed; the enemy is completely blinded!”

“We are now launching a full-scale assault. Please advise!”

On the other end was the Joint Command of the Three Services. The communications officer’s voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

“Good! Good! Good!” Old Zhu repeated three times, the tension on his face vanishing entirely. His eyes gleamed with a predatory green, like a wolf eyeing a fat carcass.

“Heh!” Commander One chuckled softly as he listened, then downed his tea in one satisfying gulp.

“Order all ships: for this attack, five aircraft carriers must be captured. Cruiser and destroyer forces—cripple at least half. The Liben and Nanbang fleets—disable half of their ships!”

“Cripple them!”

Now that the enemy had shown weakness, Zhu Jincheng’s lips curved into a sly smile.

It was our turn to perform.

Attack—strike them hard!

Let’s see if I don’t leave you crippled this time!

After all, it was the United States who made the first move; we have only been defending passively.

…

“Beep—”

The vast fleet surged straight toward the US joint fleet.

Above, fighter jets circled continuously.

Some took off from mainland airbases, others catapulted from aircraft carriers.

This time, determined to crush the fallen foes, the naval and air forces resolved to strike fiercely!

Receiving orders from above, Wu Tong’s grin stretched ear to ear.

“Report enemy cruiser positions! All units, commence immediate strike!”

Holding command authority, knowing what effect was desired, Wu Tong fully unleashed his control and began directing operations.

…

Buzz—

The entire Chinese fleet launched another volley of missiles.

This time, unlike before, the missiles targeted the US cruisers directly!

Watching the sky filled with missiles, Wu Tong felt as if he might wake up from a dream laughing.

Air and sea superiority had already been secured.

The enemy was blinded, their only weapons remaining the ship’s guns and rifles.

Now, it was time to toy with them!

Fighting such American forces was like beating a three-year-old child.

If the enemy tried to respond head-on, they simply couldn’t withstand it!

…

On the US joint fleet side,

Carl Thomas was nearly losing his mind!

According to crew reports, an Eastern power had deployed practical EMP missiles.

They reckoned that eight 055 destroyers, seemingly sent to their deaths, had effectively blinded over 120 US ships with a single strike.

Staring at the pitch-black command room, Carl Thomas was gripped by deep terror.

Buzz—

Another buzzing sound arose.

A low-flying, high-speed drone skimmed so close it seemed to brush the face of their ship.

Carl Thomas was infuriated to the point of tooth-gnashing.

Damn it, that drone almost landed on my aircraft carrier!

“I’m going crazy!” he shouted, pounding furiously on the command radar in front of him.

He struck the steel console with his fist, but the screen remained dark; Carl was powerless to change anything.

He could only brood silently. China would give him no chance.

Seconds after the drone sped by, the temporary flag signal messenger, the information officer, dashed into the command room in terror.

He called out while running,

“Captain, the Eastern power is attacking! They’re coming!”

“Missiles fill the sky—we’re done for!”

Desperation filled the messenger’s voice.

This was truly the end!

An aircraft carrier fleet without air defense was like a tiger without claws.

Anyone could land a blow.

“Bang!”

As soon as the news hit, Carl Thomas slumped dumbfounded into his chair.

What could I possibly do to save this?

It’s over. It’s finished!

…

“Direct hit!”

“The Yorktown’s island superstructure has been pierced. Which brother was so ruthless to seize the credit?”

“The Siro’s keel was shattered; it’s sinking. Dispatching unmanned vessels to rescue overboard personnel.”

“The Nanbang navy is over half destroyed; their amphibious assault ships have been sunk.”

“All four helicopter carriers of the Liben fleet have been sunk; ninety percent of their vessels destroyed. Ha, fighting the ‘little devils’ is exhilarating—no holding back!”

“The Feisha squadron has launched, beginning attacks on the carriers. The carriers’ counterattack weapons have been completely neutralized.”

“…”

Across the Chinese fleet’s communication network, ships began reporting their battle achievements.

No doubt about it.

The joint fleet, having lost air and missile defense, was like fish on a chopping block.

They had essentially no means of resistance.

Fighting them was like beating children.

One missile strike left ships dead or crippled.

Take the Siro, for example.

A single missile struck its keel.

With a thunderous roar, the cruiser was blown in two, US soldiers aboard screaming as they plunged into the sea.

Now, the ocean was densely packed with US troops, Nanbang personnel, and Liben dogs.

There was no way to rescue them all.

The joint fleet had been utterly incapacitated by a single blow!

“Mission accomplished!”

Wu Tong stood on the command deck of the Nanjing, looking through his binoculars toward the distance.

Only when he saw naval aviators make emergency landings on the Eisenhower aircraft carrier’s deck did he finally exhale.

The overall situation was decided.

All five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers had been captured!

Why not destroy them?

These carriers were nuclear-powered and now lay near Chinese coastal waters.

Destroying them would cause massive pollution.

Better to seize and detain them; tomorrow, they could be turned into parks for the public to enjoy.

“We have won. The joint fleet of the United States, Nanbang, and Liben has been nearly annihilated by us!”

This battle was destined to shock the world.

From the first shot fired by the United States until now, only two hours had passed!

In two hours alone, China had sunk five cruisers!

Thanks to national fervor in fighting the ‘little devils,’ Liben lost ninety percent of their fleet!

In this battle, within two hours, the Eastern power had effectively destroyed the navies of three countries!

A legendary victory!
