Chapter 1419 - End Of The War (1/2)
The USS Obama sank.
The spherical submersible that followed the undulating waves observed its last moment before the USN fleet was swallowed by the hurricane with its wide-angle camera dozens of kilometers away.
Unlike the previous two unlucky destroyers, as the flagship, the USS Obama persisted until the end. At least that was the case until a cargo ship was swept up by the hurricane, then smashed onto its deck before its luck finally ran out and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Inside Parrot cabin, Zhuo Guoping held onto the cup of hot water handed to him by the captain as he stared blankly at the scene from the camera.
It took him a while to recover from his astonishment.
“This is…”
“Your General’s new toy. It seems to be called a weather weapon,” Captain Wang walked to Zhou Guoping’s side with a glass of boiling water, then looked at the chaotic sea surface. He said, “Annihilating an entire fleet is too awesome.”
“Whatever, we are the ones that tracked the coordinates of this fleet.” The pilot in the control room pursed his lips while he commented disapprovingly. “If they got their fighters to direct the weather strike, they might not even touch the fleet.”
“It’s okay, let’s not be bitter,” the Captain of Parrot patted the pilot’s back, chuckled, then looked to Zhuo Guoping, “Your General came to North America for you. If I were you, I would think of what I’d say to him when I see him.”
“Can you let me disembark in Wanghai?” Zhou Guoping smiled wryly.
“Of course not,” the captain said as he shook his head, “If we dropped you off at Wanghai, who would pay us?”
“Pay?” Zhou Guoping was taken aback.
“Haha, that’s right, 100,000 credits!” The captain patted his shoulder with the same bright smile, “Don’t look so sad! If I were you, I would be so happy. After all, if I was caught by pirates, my boss would definitely not spend so much money to get me back!”
…
When the weather strike began, the war was over.
After the fourteen F-79s bypassed the air defense positions on the West Coast, they arrived too late over Nevada. They circled the entrance of the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center for a long time but could not do anything against the barren hills and empty base; they had to return to Panama.
After the USS Obama had sunk, the USN’s dream of reviving the United States had completely evaporated over the ocean.
After the weather strike was terminated, Lilith, in accordance with Jiang Chen’s instructions, easily modified the weather guidance program of the weather weapon. She changed the heavy snow that should have fallen in the eastern part of Pan-Asia to the Mediterranean Sea on the other end of Eurasia.
From the beginning of this year, European survivors would definitely enjoy a unique Christmas.
In the colony’s conference room, Jiang Chen ended the meeting with the Minuteman and the National Guard representative. The three parties discussed matters related to the maintenance of the weather weapon in the future and finally decided that the three parties would jointly station troops at the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center.
Of course, because NAC accounted for the bulk of the energy expenditure in climate guidance projects, it had stationed the greatest number of soldiers at the center. In addition, the task of maintaining the weather weapon also fell onto NAC.
For other survivor forces, the expenditure of a large quantum computer was definitely a burden they wished to avoid, but for NAC, it was the complete opposite. This meant that Jiang Chen could send a scientific research team to research the weather weapon.
Jiang Chen was still very interested in this dark technology that could kill with the power of nature.
