126: Section 126
Obviously, this level of damage was irreparable, and they could only abandon ship and flee.
This scene was broadcast live by the media aboard the ship.
causing a huge uproar in other countries!
Is this the true power of the space-air aircraft carrier?!
Is the pressure really that intense on site?
Looking at the live broadcast, it seemed that the space-air aircraft carrier was merely hovering overhead.
Yet, the Lighthouse Country's own fleet immediately fell into chaos.
Hundreds of people had fallen into the water, and dozens of warships had collided.
The most serious consequence was the direct destruction of one medium-sized warship.
Moreover, some military enthusiasts clearly knew that this sinking medium-sized warship was the Lighthouse Country's latest model, costing as much as 180 million Lighthouse Coins!
As a result, not only did they fail to subdue the enemy without fighting, but they didn't even fight and still lost a ship!
"Fuck!!"
"Is Huaguo provoking our Lighthouse Country?"
"This is an unprovoked attack!!"
"Is he intentionally trying to start a war?"
The President of The White House was furious upon seeing this scene.
Losing an incredibly expensive warship due to a direct military setback during his tenure could be considered a major stain on his presidential career.
He could imagine that the media from the opposing faction would definitely publish criticisms.
"Mr. President, calm down!"
"We still don't know the true strength of Huaguo's space carrier aircraft carrier, but the mere fact that it can fly in the air has already dealt a major blow to our military morale!"
"The most important thing now is to quickly order our fleet to retreat!"
Of course, everyone present understood.
They were completely in the wrong regarding this matter.
Huaguo had long announced that they would be conducting military exercises here, and it was within their own maritime boundaries.
It was their Lighthouse Country fleet that had crossed the line.
If it were an ordinary country, crossing the boundary would be crossing the boundary, and others wouldn't dare say anything.
But now it was different!
After they crossed the line, Huaguo immediately dispatched the terrifying pangu space-air aircraft carrier, leaving them clueless about how to deal with this space-air aircraft carrier that was making its debut.
Just like the tank, the king of land vehicles.
When it first appeared in war, it immediately inflicted a Dimensionality Reduction Strike on the enemy, achieving an overwhelming and perfect victory.
Facing this space carrier space-air aircraft carrier, they now had the exact same feeling!
...General Jones gritted his teeth as he stared at the gigantic object looming over him.
He was both shocked and enraged internally.
Originally, because he had finally waited for the completion of the two newest aircraft carriers, he could finally attain the position of Captain.
As a result, he only got to show off for a short while during the two months of military exercises.
He was suddenly subjected to a dimensionality reduction strike.
It wasn't hard to imagine.
After going back this time, their naval forces, which had already been defeated by Huaguo, would certainly no longer be taken seriously.
"shit!"
"What exactly is going on with Huaguo!?"
"After suffering so many technological and economic suppressions from us, and now facing a triple suppression including military pressure, how can they still turn the tables!?"
"Is Huaguo truly this terrifying?"
"No... absolutely not! We cannot let Huaguo continue to be complacent like this, or my position as Admiral of the Navy will be jeopardized!"
General Jones was unwilling to retreat so shamefully.
Furthermore, as the military leader of the Lighthouse Country, which had always led the world, he refused to believe that Huaguo had suddenly surpassed them.
"Transmit my order: the entire Ocean Fleet, continue the military exercises, do not stop!"
Hearing this command, the subordinate naval soldiers were stunned.
"Admiral, do we really have to continue the exercises? Huaguo's space carrier is practically pressing down on us!"
"That's right, Admiral, let's retreat quickly!"
However, General Jones completely ignored the surrounding pleas.
Since the President's order hadn't been relayed yet, he was still the overall commander of this military exercise!
"Hmph, what is there to fear? Huaguo only has this one big thing!"
"We will conduct fighter jet drills!"
"We have thirteen aircraft carriers, with a total of 1,200 carrier-based aircraft!"
"Have all the fighter jets circle that big thing!"
"Since this thing is so huge, its reaction must be extremely sluggish!"
Soon, Jones issued the command.
He refused to believe that Huaguo could surpass their great Lighthouse Country in every single field!
This must be a conspiracy, a trick of the eye!
Maybe this thing is just a huge iron lump. He would send out a fighter jet group to harass and provoke the opponent!
He could definitely show the world that this space carrier was just a big, useless spectacle!
Soon.
Thirteen aircraft carriers from the Lighthouse Country immediately dispatched all their carrier-based aircraft.
One after another, they rapidly ascended.
Soon, besides the space carrier, that massive object suspended high in the sky...
...the sky was quickly filled with small, fast, and nimble Lighthouse Country fighter jets.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
All 1,200 fighter jets completed takeoff.
The pilots of those warplanes were also ace pilots from the Lighthouse Country, executing all sorts of incredibly flexible maneuvers with ease.
Sometimes the fighter jets formed columns circling the space carrier.
Other times, the fighter jets formed rows and charged directly toward the space carrier, only to pull up the aircraft as they approached, flipping over and moving away from the space carrier.
The media reporters still on the warships couldn't help but become excited again upon seeing this scene.
They once again aimed their cameras skyward.
The host then used a rapid speaking pace to inform everyone about the details of the military exercise.
After seeing this scene.
People from other countries who had just been frightened by the enormous pangu space-air aircraft carrier.
suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hmph! I knew it! This so-called space-air aircraft carrier couldn't possibly be that powerful!"
"In modern warfare, bigger isn't necessarily better. Such a massive object at high altitude is bound to become a concentrated target for firepower!"
"It seems Huaguo's so-called space-air aircraft carrier is nothing to fear!"
"Exactly, the Lighthouse Country only needs to send out over a thousand aircraft to easily toy with this big thing."
"Indeed, whether it's a carrier flying in the air or a carrier on the ocean, it's ultimately just a platform; the carrier itself is nothing to fear!"
"That's right, and now that over a thousand aircraft are circling the space carrier, they have virtually sealed off all directions. Even if the space carrier has fighter jets, they won't have a chance to take off."
"Laughable. Such a huge thing turns out to be nothing but a joke."
"I was just scared by this so-called space-air aircraft carrier. It seems new technology is indeed immature when it first comes out, and its utility on the battlefield is minimal."
"Toy with Huaguo mercilessly! Avenge the fright we just suffered!"
"Exactly, these damn Huaguo people embarrassed our Lighthouse Country; we must retaliate!"
"Anyway, everyone is conducting military exercises. If they are truly affected, it's just because Huaguo is technically inferior; they can't blame our Lighthouse Country!"
"What can we say, our Lighthouse Country is strong. Even if they produce a space-air aircraft carrier, we are still the most powerful country in the world!"
"..."
Seeing that the Lighthouse Country was advancing instead of retreating.
Facing the descent of the terrifying behemoth, they dared to provoke it actively, instantly boosting the spirits of people in other countries.
This included the President of The White House in the Lighthouse Country, who watched the scene excitedly.
He hoped that these fighter jet drills could expose the flying space-air aircraft carrier as merely a big, useless spectacle.
This way, their Lighthouse Country would still not need to fear the opponent's so-called space-air aircraft carrier!
They could even prove, conversely, that carriers flying in the air were the wrong path, and that dominating the oceans was the only correct direction.
Whoosh—
