110: They knew nothing about it!
That point of light silently plunged into the sea.
The world lost all sound.
Immediately following was an unparalleled, soul-shaking, massive explosion!
A massive wall of white water shot up into the sky, towering into the clouds and generating monstrous waves over a hundred meters high!
Boom!
The devastating roar, delayed by several seconds, finally arrived, sweeping over them as a shockwave.
“Ahhh!”
“Hold tight!!”
The small freighter and the Israel's patrol boat were like two fragile leaves facing this man-made raging storm.
The hulls were violently tossed into the air by the huge waves, then slammed heavily back onto the water surface.
The Jewish soldiers on deck could not keep their footing.
They were thrown off balance, screaming in terror, desperately clinging to anything fixed nearby.
Seawater poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, soaking them completely.
One soldier was thrown toward the railing. He looked up and saw the massive, persistent mushroom-shaped cloud of water vapor formed by the intense explosion.
His pupils contracted into dangerous pinpricks.
That was not a natural phenomenon!
That was a scene of doomsday that only strategic-level weapons could create!
His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the deck, his pants wet and warm.
It wasn't just him; all the Jewish soldiers present, including the commander on the patrol boat who was frantically radioing headquarters.
All of them were utterly terrified by this divine punishment unfolding before their eyes.
Only at this moment did they deeply understand the meaning of true deterrence.
It wasn't something represented by a few patrol boats or a few fighter jets.
It was the ultimate power capable of destroying the world in a single strike from thousands of miles away!
Najran Base Control Center.
The large screen clearly displayed the satellite feed: the target sea area, precise impact point, and energy release perfectly matching expectations.
A perfect test launch.
King Fahd and Prince Sultan watched the "Flower of Destruction" blooming on the blue ocean, their eyes brimming with tears of excitement.
They had truly succeeded!
Jameson stood nearby, his expression still calm and indifferent. He walked over to the King and bowed slightly.
“Your Majesty, congratulations.”
“The weapon's performance has been tested in practice and is flawless.”
“Starting today, the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia possesses the qualification to force any opponent to calm down and engage in dialogue.”
King Fahd tightly grasped Jameson's hand and shook it vigorously, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
He knew Jameson was right.
This test launch was not just a simple weapons test.
This was the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strongest declaration to the entire world!
This was their first roar of defiance, straightening their backs and reshaping the regional landscape!
The air defense warning systems of major global powers were instantly overwhelmed by piercing sirens!
Eagle Country, Cheyenne Mountain Strategic Command Center.
On the massive electronic map, a red arrow representing an "Unidentified Hypersonic Flying Object" suddenly lit up.
It flared brightly over the Arabian Peninsula, tracing a shocking trajectory!
“Alert! Alert!”
“Ballistic missile launch detected! Launch source... Middle East! Within the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!”
“My God! This is impossible!”
“Where did the Sattar people get ballistic missiles?! Weren't their 'Dongfengs' destroyed by us ages ago?!”
The entire command center descended into chaos.
The officer responsible for monitoring the Middle East region stared intently at the increasingly long ballistic trajectory on the screen.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and a dry, hoarse shout escaped his throat.
“Calculate the trajectory! Quickly!”
“Where is it headed?!”
“Report! The trajectory... the trajectory is extending toward the Indian Ocean... Impact point... cannot be precisely locked! But its range... oh my god...”
The technician stared blankly at the rapidly updating data on the screen, utterly stunned.
Based on preliminary estimates of initial velocity and flight altitude, the theoretical range of this missile had far exceeded the scope of intermediate-range missiles!
That was a terrifying figure, enough to cover half the globe!
At the same time.
Russia, Strategic Missile Forces Command Center outside Moscow.
The atmosphere was equally heavy and tense.
A general, his shoulders bearing stars, looked grimly at the light point on the screen.
“The Sattar people?”
He practically squeezed the words out through clenched teeth.
“Where did they get a toy of this caliber?!”
“Are the intelligence agencies all pigs?! How could there be absolutely no warning about something this major?!”
Gallic Rooster Country, Élysée Palace.
The President, who had also received the emergency intelligence, rubbed the bridge of his nose hard, feeling dizzy.
“A country that only knows how to sell oil suddenly possesses intercontinental missiles?”
“This world is truly getting crazier.”
And at this moment.
The Israel was the closest to the eye of the storm, and the most terrified.
Tel Aviv, Ministry of Defense Underground Command Post.
When the news of the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia launching a ballistic missile arrived, all the senior officials in the command post fell silent collectively.
A deathly silence.
Every face was etched with shock and disbelief.
“The Sattar people... how dare they?!” a high-ranking general muttered, his lips turning white.
“It's not a question of daring!” another intelligence director yelled, slamming the table, his eyes bloodshot.
His voice was sharp and slightly distorted.
“The question is how they did it! Fifty missiles! Fifty strategic missiles with a range exceeding ten thousand kilometers! Who gave them this?!”
“Fifty missiles...”
That number caused everyone present to skip a beat.
This meant the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now possessed the terrifying capability to wipe the Israel off the map dozens of times over!
And they knew nothing about this!
Just as the senior officials of major global powers were thrown into turmoil, shock, and panic over this sudden missile launch.
Sattar National Television abruptly interrupted all regular programming to broadcast breaking news.
On screen, a male anchor, dressed in traditional attire and looking solemn, spoke in an unprecedentedly passionate and high-pitched tone.
He announced to the world!
“The Great The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia successfully conducted a strategic weapon test launch today at exactly ten o'clock in the morning in our southwestern waters!”
“The missile tested, codenamed 'Conqueror,' has a maximum range of twelve thousand kilometers, capable of covering any corner of the globe!”
“This test launch precisely hit the designated target and was a complete success!”
“Hereby, we solemnly announce that the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has successfully equipped fifty missiles of the same type, and they have achieved initial operational capability!”
“Starting today, the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia possesses the most solid shield to defend its national sovereignty and ethnic dignity!”
Boom!
This news story exploded in the global arena of public opinion, no less impactful than another strategic weapon.
Within the The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Countless citizens rushed out of their homes and cafes into the streets, embracing, cheering, and firing celebratory shots into the sky!
Emotions suppressed for too long were completely released at this moment!
“Allahu Akbar!”
“We have our own ultimate weapon!”
“Let's see who dares bully us now!”
The entire Arab World was also boiling with excitement!
Citizens across countless Arab nations.
Watched the massive splash blooming on the ocean on their televisions, their eyes filled with excited tears.
This was the glory belonging to the entire Arab people!
