Chapter 20: Aircraft Carrier Turns Around, Fighter Jets Take Off, Oil Gets Moldy
"Mob riot?" Hearing this, Chaikov was completely bewildered.
As the Grand Commander of the nation, how could he not know that his northern region was suffering from a mob riot crisis?
Could it be that the news hadn't been relayed yet?
Thinking of this, Chaikov turned his gaze to the Commander on the side and asked, "When you reported the intelligence on the northern region to me just now, did you omit anything?"
The dark-skinned man, who was the Commander of the northern region, shook his head repeatedly and said with great certainty, "Grand Commander! I dare to stake my head on it, the northern region has only sent good news this time, absolutely no bad news!"
This was indirectly telling Chaikov: there was no crisis in the northern region, and everything was thriving!
"That's strange." After receiving this reply, Chaikov's furrowed brows deepened.
The Commander in charge of the northern region had stated there were no issues there, but the phone call currently coming into his office clearly indicated a riot crisis had occurred. Who should he believe?
Wait! Suddenly, Chaikov realized he didn't even know the identity of the person on the other end of the line!
Therefore, with strong suspicion, he asked into the phone, "My Commander in the north says there are no issues there, why do you say there is a mob riot crisis? Who are you?"
"Hahaha!" A loud laugh came from the other end of the line upon hearing Chaikov's question.
A moment later, the person slowly responded to Chaikov, "Grand Commander Chaikov, no need to worry, we are your friendly neighbors! As for why we know about your country's northern crisis, it is of course because our military is about to arrive at the northern bay!"
"???" In an instant, Chaikov was stunned.
During the conversation, his friendly neighbor was about to park warships right at his doorstep?
What was going on?
"Damn!" If Chaikov didn't understand the purpose of the 'friendly neighbor's' call by now, he would truly be an idiot!
His Mo Country had no so-called mob crisis at all!
All there was, was his good neighbor wanting to come over and snatch the oil!
Oil was a vital strategic resource, and he and the 'friendly neighbor' were about to go to war!
At such a critical juncture, how could Chaikov easily hand over the oil?
Therefore, Chaikov hurriedly said into the phone, "We have sufficient capability to quell the northern mob issues, we don't need your intervention!"
Unexpectedly, he received this reply:
"What? Pshhh. Grand Commander Chaikov, you say you urgently need our assistance?"
"Rest assured! We have already dispatched three Nimitz-class aircraft carrier strike groups to the northern bay! Expected to arrive in 5 minutes!"
"Please rest assured, Grand Commander Chaikov!"
"Our country has absolute dominance on the sea, and we also possess comprehensive strike capabilities in coastal waters! We will definitely quell the riot for our friendly neighbor in the shortest time possible, and restore a peaceful and tranquil northern region!"
"This is also the responsibility that I, Raging Waves, as one of the five great hegemons, should shoulder!"
"???" Chaikov was even more bewildered!
When did he ever say he needed Raging Waves to provide military assistance?
You can't twist someone's words to this extent!
"No!" Chaikov still wanted to say something.
Unfortunately, his friendly neighbor had already hung up the phone, leaving him no room for maneuver!
"Damn it!" Furious, Chaikov threw the desk phone onto the floor.
He had an expression like he was constipated.
You have to know that the intelligence hadn't leaked yet, and the war hadn't even started! But the result? The other party's aircraft carriers were already parked at his doorstep!
This scene was broadcast to the live stream, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
【Does oil easily grow mold?】
【I'm dying of laughter! The war hasn't even started, and Raging Waves' three aircraft carrier strike groups have already arrived at their doorstep. What kind of game is this?】
【The most critical part is that Chaikov hasn't exchanged for much air combat capability, so he can't possibly rush to the northern region in time to compete with Raging Waves for the oil resources.】
【Even if he could make it, so what? Chaikov has to face three aircraft carrier strike groups!】
【The 7th Carrier Strike Group alone crushed the sea and air forces of the previous Decipherer. This time Raging Waves has dispatched a full three groups. Anyone who touches this kind of combat power will be crushed!】
【Looking at it this way, I'm afraid Chaikov won't be able to get the oil resources.】
【I don't think getting this resource matters much to him. After all, Chaikov is employing a blitzkrieg sweep tactic, so logistics and supplies don't really need to be considered.】
【Exactly! His mission is to capture the Raging Waves capital, just keep moving forward! There's no need to consider what happens to the captured areas afterwards!】
【Looking on the bright side, this suddenly appearing oil resource has tied down the three Raging Waves aircraft carrier strike groups. If Chaikov suddenly starts the war, wouldn't the danger he faces be much smaller?】
【This is indeed good news!】
To compete for this strategic resource, Raging Waves had dispatched a full three aircraft carrier strike groups!
Such terrifying combat power gathered together proved they were determined to get this batch of oil. Thus, for Chaikov to make a big fuss about sending troops to resist would be meaningless.
It would be better to use the oil resources to drag down these three aircraft carrier strike groups!
Thereby achieving Chaikov's goal of a blitzkrieg on Peanut Capital!
As it happened, Chaikov thought the same.
Giving up the oil resources was to achieve his tactic of a blitzkrieg on the Raging Waves capital!
So next, he would strike first!
Because only by catching the enemy off guard could the greatest advantage of the blitzkrieg tactic be unleashed!
And launching a war without declaring it was the way to achieve the greatest advantage of this tactic!
Of course, Chaikov knew that launching a war without declaration might cause strong retaliation from the other side, as well as suffer strong international condemnation.
But Chaikov didn't care.
Because he didn't treat the war world as the real world at all!
This was just a game, and the Decipherer's purpose in coming here was to conquer the target at all costs!
Thinking of this, Chaikov turned his gaze to the Commander below him and issued a new order: "Transmit my order to the three armies! Abandon the competition for oil with Raging Waves, ready the troops, target: Peanut Capital!"
"Grand Commander, isn't that a bit unwise?" Hearing this, the Commander was stunned.
He didn't know about Mo Country being about to complete the Ultimate Weapon Research.
He just simply felt that his Grand Commander's decision to go to war with the current hegemon over a small amount of oil resources was very unwise!
Chaikov had no intention of explaining.
He just coldly stared at the Commander: "Are you refusing to execute my order?"
"No, of course not!" Feeling immense pressure, the Commander shook his head repeatedly and indicated: "I will immediately transmit your order, ready the troops, and advance towards Peanut Capital!"
