Chapter 1126 - Social Justice Saving the World (2/2)
“All combat units, freely aim at all targets of the joint fleet except the aircraft carrier. Prepare—”
“Look! They-they changed course!”
An exclamation interrupted his command.
Lei Zheng’s pupils shrank and fixed on the holographic screen, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The two destroyers at the forefront almost entered Xin’s territory. However, just two kilometers outside the border, they suddenly changed course and made a nearly 90-degree turn.
Not just the two destroyers retreated, but the joint fleet behind them…
Hill was crushed.
Thoroughly crushed.
She was a wise, strong, courageous, and tactical politician; otherwise, she wouldn’t have defeated her competitors to become the president. She had the best think tank, the best cabinet, but she lacked one thing…
The spirit of a wolf.
In this peaceful era, it wasn’t a quality that could be selected.
Fighting for social justice might help her gain votes, but that would never win a war for her.
When the Social Justice Warriors voted with joy and put the nuclear button in her hands, they trusted that she would never press the button to hell, but they never considered the consequence of the button never being able to be pressed.
If nuclear deterrence didn’t have a deterrence effect, could deterrence be called deterrence?
At the moment when she looked into Jiang Chen’s pupils, she felt that she was pulled out of her office and put into a colosseum.
The opponent standing in front of her was neither a savvy politician nor a great leader but an out-right lunatic, a fierce beast.
“Stop!”
At that moment, all the tricks, games, and even language had lost their effect.
What ultimately broke down her psychological defense wasn’t Jiang Chen’s eyes nor was it his sentence “are you ready?” but the tens of millions of families on the other side of the world and the century-long prosperity of their country…
It was the stakes in her hands that overwhelmed her.
She must not let nuclear war break out!
“Stop!”
In the tenth second of the countdown before the nuclear war, she screamed and pushed away her suitcase, ran to the Minister of Defense, grabbed his collar, and shouted with full strength that the “military exercise is now over,” “change course”…
History changed because of a word.
The destroyers retreated.
The joint fleet changed course.
The nuclear button on the screen also disappeared.
Staring at the emptiness on the screen, Hill gasped and took two steps back.
The word seemed to sap out all the energy in her body. If it wasn’t for the military adviser and the chief of staff holding her, she wasn’t even sure if she could stand.
After all, the war didn’t break out.
The strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific and curbing Xin had now backfired along with UA’s hegemony.
From now on, nothing could stop the expansion of the Global Power Grid, and nothing could disintegrate the United Earth Defense Alliance. The entire world witnessed UA’s retreat and the rise of Xin. Even the UA Navy that had conquered the seven seas and five oceans couldn’t cross the boundary of one place.
The gate of Xin.
