Chapter 1126 - Social Justice Saving the World (1/2)
Rolling waves smashed against the s.h.i.+p, as they shattered millions of tiny droplets against the invincible steel.
The radar and missile launchers on the guided missile cruisers were active and ready, waiting for the command to fire…
“Sir.” The young soldier looked at the officer. He was unsettled, as it was difficult to distinguish whether it was firm or panic in his green pupils. “What should we do?”
What should we do?
No one could answer the young soldier who had just left the military academy; even the seasoned veteran couldn’t. Since they were standing there, they were soldiers—just negligible screws in the ma.s.sive war machine. They couldn’t make the decision?
Instead of thinking about this question without an answer, it would be better to think about a more realistic question…
What will we do?
Everyone asked the question in their mind, including the new recruits on the wars.h.i.+ps, including, of course, the one standing on the bridge.
Hogg showed nothing but malice as his destruction-filled pupils already narrowed into a line, like the Celestial Trade fleet that lined up on the high sea.
The Pacific Fleet, more than 150 kilometers away, responded affirmatively to the joint fleet with the first round of sh.e.l.ling.
He made a decision immediately, including forming the attack formation, sending out fighters, and sending out the destroyers…
He couldn’t act weak, not even a bit. Even if he wasn’t willing, he could only move forward.
Representatives of the countries watched him. The Capital, his people, and the world were all watching him. The countless gazes on him were like countless swords pressed against his back.
“Celestial Trade fighters are approaching quickly; our radar can’t lock onto them…” the lieutenant admiral said nervously.
“All fighters take off!” Hogg ordered.
“Roger!” The lieutenant admiral gnashed his teeth.
He already expected this to happen. When Xin and Country F fought previously, they verified that the F-35 was no match for the Aurora-20. However, despite this, he had no fear.
Although the Aurora-20 was strong, it wasn’t invincible. Under the cover of destroyers and missile cruisers, even if a group could only take out a squadron, the final victory would only belong to the joint fleet.
Although the electromagnetic pulse cannon was powerful, the s.h.i.+p carrying the cannon was still made out of steel. Anti-s.h.i.+p missiles and anti-s.h.i.+p torpedoes would take care of them, even if they could sink a few wars.h.i.+ps or even the aircraft carrier in the center, but what else…
As for s.p.a.ce-based weapons?
At a distance of 36,000 kilometers, it would still take some time before those landed.
Hogg felt a lot more at ease after he issued the orders consecutively.
It seemed that the war was bound to happen…
“Twenty kilometers left.”
Twenty kilometers.
At the current speed of the destroyers, they would close the distance in just a few minutes. By that time, the joint fleet would’ve crossed the red line, and the Celestial Trade Pacific Fleet would respond with their electromagnetic pulse cannons. With the war bound to happen, there seemed to be no other alternatives.
When Lei Zheng received the report, he looked at the red dots that were gradually approaching on the radar. At that moment, his expression remained unchanged.
The naval fleet of five nations, forty-seven modern wars.h.i.+ps, and more than a dozen fighter squadrons… In his eyes, they didn’t seem to exist.
“Ten kilometers!”
The first officer’s eyes bulged out, staring at the distant sea. The veins on his arms were exposed as his palms were sweating profusely.
The two destroyers, one after the other, were marching towards the border.
At that moment, Lei Zheng suddenly raised his hand and fixed his cap.
“Five kilometers!”
Almost as the first officer shouted out this sentence, Lei Zheng took off the radio on his shoulder.
