61: Mechanism triggered, memories of Pearl Harbor! (Update 3)

The Air Force and Navy had different marching speeds. The Emperor had roughly calculated that it would only take two hours for their Challenger aircraft to fly over Pearl Harbor.

However, battleships, even at full speed, would need to travel at sea for several days.

Therefore, the Emperor had the Navy and Air Force units act separately, conducting two waves of firepower coverage!

The two generals leading the teams this time were Navy Commander Yamamoto Thirty-eight and Air Force Commander Tominaga Yukiyasu.

Three days later, the Emperor admitted his mistake to Eagle Country and promised them sufficient compensation.

That night, thirty thousand battleships from the Edo Island surrounded Pearl Harbor and the surrounding waters.

They formed a massive encirclement within a three-nautical-mile radius.

At the same time, forty thousand fighter jets had already flown over Pearl Harbor Military Base.

Inside the flagship's command cabin, Yamamoto Thirty-eight and Tominaga were drinking sake and eating grilled eel while watching the radar signals on the instrument panel.

The two men were one fat and one thin; Yamamoto Thirty-eight was a nearly 300-pound large fat man, while Tominaga was a short man with a small mustache.

Both were LV3 in rank, one ranked eighty-third on the Sky Curtain Hero Ranking, and the other one hundred eighteenth, both being first-rate dungeon combat experts.

With so many battleships at their disposal, they could be said to be sure of victory, feeling no tension at all.

Soon, they detected all the conditions in Pearl Harbor.

This time, Pearl Harbor still had no defensive measures, and the TF58 Extermination Fleet was all docked within the Pearl Harbor Military Base's port, not having gone out for reconnaissance.

Moreover, after careful detection, there seemed to be no trace of living people on the battleships.

"Hahaha, how foolish!"

"These Eagle Country people wouldn't really think we're surrendering, would they? They didn't even let the fleet go out to sea!"

"In a bit, we'll just bombard them with firepower. Who cares if it's an Aircraft Carrier or a super Aircraft Carrier, we'll blast them all to ashes and feed them to the fish."

"Hiccup~"

Yamamoto Thirty-eight directly let out a drunken hiccup and then burst into loud laughter.

Tominaga, on the other hand, was more cautious. He directly dialed the Emperor's phone.

"Your Majesty, we have already locked onto the enemy's Aircraft Carrier group's position. May we launch an attack?"

Inside the Imperial Garden Pine Pavilion in Edo, the Emperor had actually already observed some conditions of Pearl Harbor through the light screen.

As the supreme Commander of the dungeon, the first-person perspective of all Challengers would be displayed on the light screen projected by the command platform.

A hint of schadenfreude appeared on Ito Hidekazu's face beside him.

"Your Majesty is too wise. It must be our previous proactive show of goodwill that made Eagle Country drop its guard."

"There's actually no military force on this Aircraft Carrier at all; it's practically a freebie!"

At the same time, the Sky Curtain's prompt sounded.

"Sky Curtain Notification: Detected Challenger units have approached Eagle Country territory!"

"The Challenger Camp has not declared war on Eagle Country. If an attack is launched at this time, it will be directly judged as deception and aggression against Eagle Country."

"Additionally, Pearl Harbor Base holds deep significance for Eagle Country. Destroying Pearl Harbor will, to some extent, strongly enrage Eagle Country, leading to some uncertain and terrifying consequences..."

"Challenger, please choose carefully!"

The Emperor snorted coldly.

He thought the Sky Curtain giving such a prompt at this time was simply naive and childish.

He had been planning for so long, wasn't it precisely to conquer Eagle Country in one fell swoop?!

Now that he had finally gained the initiative, the Sky Curtain actually prompted him to be cautious, which was simply ridiculous!

If he didn't fight now, should he wait for Eagle Country to fight him?

"Commander Yamamoto, Commander Tominaga! Attack Pearl Harbor with all your might!"

"Destroy all combat deployments in Pearl Harbor and its surroundings!"

"Leave no stone unturned!!!"

The Emperor practically roared out the words.

Having been played like a dog before, the Emperor had been suppressing his anger.

Now he had to vent it!

In the Emperor's understanding of war, naval units could be said to be a country's bulwark and the largest component of a force's combat power.

As long as he could take down the Extinguish Country Fleet, the rest would be smooth sailing.

Once he led his nearly million compatriots to conquer Eagle Country and clear the dungeon, Lin Ye would have a massive amount of points deducted! He would be directly obliterated by the Sky Curtain!

Now, only Lin Ye's death could bring comfort to his wounded soul!

...

Yamamoto Thirty-eight and Tominaga Yukiyasu, having received the Emperor's permission, were also excited at this moment.

"By order of the Emperor!"

"Directly destroy Pearl Harbor!"

"Fire!"

At the Commander's command, all battleships, like arrows released from a bowstring, rapidly sped towards Pearl Harbor. They quickly adjusted their positions, forming a tight encirclement.

Immediately after, cannon fire began to erupt from the battleships, each shot like a fiery dragon, streaking across the night sky with dazzling light.

Forty thousand battleships firing in unison created a colossal momentum, as if the sky and earth were collapsing. In an instant, the bright flashes of cannon fire pierced through the darkness, illuminating the night sky!

Under the reflection of this light, everything in Pearl Harbor became clearly visible.

At the same time, all the fighter jets had also flown directly over Pearl Harbor. The bombs they carried rained down like a downpour, instantly covering the entire port. The machine guns on the fighter jets also strafed wildly, bullets pouring down like dense raindrops.

This indiscriminate strike was actually the simplest; there was no need to worry about anything, just a relentless bombardment was enough.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Under the dense artillery fire, various buildings and facilities on Pearl Harbor were directly blasted into powder.

The foundation of the entire island seemed to be violently struck by a giant hammer, collapsing instantly. Pearl Harbor began to sink rapidly, almost being swallowed by the sea.

Those once majestic and awe-inspiring Aircraft Carriers, now powerless decorations, were directly blasted into raging infernos.

"Keep bombing!"

"Pearl Harbor Base and the Extinguish Country Fleet must disappear from this world!"

Yamamoto Thirty-eight continued to issue commands, appearing increasingly deranged!

A new round of bombardment began again, the sky torn to shreds, and the scorching firelight reflected on the sea.

The thirty Aircraft Carriers of the Extinguish Country Fleet slowly sank in the raging fire.

They had completely disappeared below the horizon!

Thick smoke and firelight intertwined, looking particularly tragic.

"Hahaha! How exhilarating!"

Yamamoto Thirty-eight clapped his hands in delight, holding sake and drinking a cup.

"What a damn Extinguish Country Fleet, wasn't it still blasted by me until not even a speck remained."

Tominaga also danced with excitement and shouted loudly.

...

But just then, a blood-red light suddenly flashed before their eyes, accompanied by an intense alarm sound.

"Sky Curtain Notification: Due to the Challenger's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and destruction of Eagle Country's abandoned old Aircraft Carriers without declaring war on Eagle Country, the special event 'Memories of Pearl Harbor' has been triggered!"

"Eagle Country will declare war on Edo Island!"

"Eagle Country will receive the following buffs:"

"Eagle Strike Soaring: Eagle Country possesses the world's leading aerial military power. After the war begins, Eagle Country will directly deploy Air Force bases on Edo Island's border, with aerial strike power +500%!"

"Pearl Harbor's Sorrow: Eagle Country's battleship travel speed will increase by 200%, and firepower speed +500%! At the same time, all domestic battleship forces will re-aggregate to form a new 'Extinguish Country Fleet'!"

"Comprehensive Sanctions: Eagle Country will impose comprehensive sanctions on Edo Island! Including but not limited to financial sanctions, oil sanctions... Edo Island's economy will completely stagnate! All materials will be unproducible."

"Five Eyes Alliance: After the war begins, Eagle Country's FBI and CIA will send spies to infiltrate Edo Island. Challenger intelligence will be completely leaked, and public loyalty will decrease by 50%!"

"Nuclear Peace Guardian: Eagle Country is very angry. The probability of nuclear strikes on Edo Island will increase to 100%!"
