100: Japan's furious retaliation!

Half an hour later.

The Pentagon, military conference room.

The Secretary of Defense, the Chief of Staff, five-star military experts, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and NASA Administrator Durutt were all sitting at the table.

Everyone's face was filled with gravity.

Especially those military experts.

Being called in for a meeting so early in the morning, they were very dissatisfied.

As the saying goes.

Cows have owners, horses have grooms, but nobody cares about the workhorses!

This is the cruel reality of society.

Opden sat at the head of the table, his expression gloomy.

"Speak! What exactly is going on?"

"Is the ghost shrine incident in Sakura Country the work of Great Xia Country?"

Durutt pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling:

"Mr. President... we've investigated!"

"None of the satellites detected any flying objects over Sakura Country..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

Those military experts all fell silent.

This matter was truly too bizarre.

Judging from current information, there is no way to know what caused it.

Just looking at the photos of the accident scene.

They couldn't think of any weapon currently in existence that could cause this effect.

That bizarrely destroyed scene could be called a supernatural event!

Secretary of Defense Pete looked at the silent military experts and asked in a deep voice:

"If we were to suffer such an inexplicable attack, is there any way to prevent it?"

The five-star military experts looked at each other and shook their heads.

One military expert said helplessly:

"We cannot guarantee that."

"It is best to wait until Sakura Country finds specific information, then see if there are any countermeasures."

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff looked livid: "If that's the case... is our homeland... also not safe?"

Opden rubbed his temples and took a deep breath:

"Regardless of whether Great Xia Country did it... we must be prepared!"

"Have the Pacific Ocean fleet approach the waters of Sakura Country... but do not provoke them!"

"Strengthen our homeland's air defense and anti-missile systems... especially defenses against aerospace targets!"

"Contact Sakura Country... tell them not to be impulsive... and not to go looking for trouble with Great Xia Country!"

He paused and added:

"Also, tell the intelligence department to find out the true performance of the 'white emperor' at all costs!"

"Accelerate the development of laser weapons, and go straight to mass production of the sixth-generation fighter jet!"

"Speed up the second test flight of the starship!"

Everyone nodded.

No one dared to underestimate Great Xia Country again.

The occurrence of such a supernatural event in Sakura Country.

Exceeded their understanding.

In the conference room.

Everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.

They knew that if they couldn't find a countermeasure.

The era of their US hegemony might be coming to an end.

...

The next day.

Sakura Country, Prime Ministers Office.

Kishida Jiro sat in his office, looking at the experts' investigation report.

His hands were clenched tightly into fists, his knuckles white.

"Annihilation..."

"Could it be Great Xia Country??"

He suddenly remembered the teasing from Great Xia Country netizens the day before, during the first flight of the "white emperor".

"Should we give Sakura Country a Spring Festival gift?"

At the time, he thought it was ridiculous.

Now that he thought about it, that was not teasing at all.

It was a warning! It was a forecast!

"baka! Great Xia Country!"

"It must be Great Xia Country!"

Kishida Jiro slammed the table, and the teacup on the table fell to the floor.

Shards scattered everywhere, and tea soaked his suit trousers.

The secretary rushed in, saw this scene, and quickly lowered his head: "Prime Minister... US President Opden is calling you..."

Kishida Jiro took a deep breath and tidied his messy hair.

"Put it through!"

The call connected, and Opden's voice came through: "Kishida... calm down... don't go looking for trouble with Great Xia Country..."

Kishida Jiro gritted his teeth: "President Opden! Our spiritual sanctuary is gone! We cannot just let it go!"

"Let it go?" Opden sneered, "How do you intend to settle it? With your Shinshin fighter jets? Or with your Self-Defense Forces?"

"Great Xia Country's 'white emperor' can destroy thousands of satellites. If you go looking for them, you are just throwing your lives away!"

Kishida Jiro was speechless.

He knew Opden was telling the truth.

But the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

"Then... then we just accept it?"

Opden was silent for a few seconds, then said:

"Investigate first! Wait until we find out the details of the 'white emperor'... then make plans!"

"Do not make brainless decisions for now, wait until we have a technological breakthrough!"

"Alright!"

Hanging up the phone, Kishida Jiro slumped in his chair.

He looked at the chaotic streets outside the window.

The Little Bagas were still crying and protesting.

But he knew that this was useless.

Great Xia Country was no longer the country that could be bullied at will.

Even if they guessed it was Great Xia Country.

But they had no actual evidence, so it was useless.

Now, the only way was to find a breakthrough in other areas.

Sakura Country also had their trump cards.

But they couldn't use them unless the country was on the verge of destruction.

But he couldn't swallow this anger.

Kishida Jiro was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and he thought of a way to disgust Great Xia Country.

"Secretary, go and call the Minister of Home Affairs here!"

Not long after.

The Minister of Home Affairs was called in.

"Prime Minister, what are your orders?"

Kishida Jiro said in a deep voice:

"Issue an announcement immediately: in five days, we will discharge nuclear wastewater!"

"If Great Xia Country won't let us have a good time, then no one in the world should have a good time."

"This..." The Minister of Home Affairs broke out in a cold sweat, "Prime Minister, if we really do this, we will become the public enemy of the planet!"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

"Just go and execute the order."

Kishida Jiro didn't care about that at all.

If this anger wasn't vented, he would suffocate.

Seeing this, the Minister of Home Affairs could only leave helplessly.

But he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.

If Great Xia Country took strong countermeasures because of this.

Then Sakura Country would really fall into an irredeemable abyss.

But at this moment, Kishida Jiro was blinded by rage and couldn't listen to any advice.

The Minister of Home Affairs was helpless and could only bite the bullet and arrange the related matters.

Very soon!

The announcement that Sakura Country was about to discharge nuclear wastewater in five days spread across the world.

Countries all over the world expressed shock and condemnation.

Demanding that Sakura Country immediately stop this crazy behavior.

Especially South Korea.

They were the closest to Sakura Country's waters.

They knew well the huge threat that nuclear wastewater discharge posed to their own marine environment and fishery resources.

They were the first to jump out and strongly oppose it.

"We seriously warn Sakura Country not to discharge nuclear wastewater."

"Otherwise, we will take the strongest countermeasures."

"We hope Sakura Country will not bring destruction upon itself!"

Regarding South Korea's warning.

Sakura Country did not respond at all.

Many countries were waiting to see how Great Xia Country would respond.

After all, the distance between Great Xia Country and Sakura Country was also very close.
