296: Oh no, it actually flew over here!

Huaxia Country.

The audience in front of their televisions were shocked by this sudden “bonus content” surprise!

Originally, the ceremony was drawing to a close, and everyone still felt it was too short. Who would have thought that our great Central Mother would be so considerate of the audience’s feelings, actually adding an impromptu exhibition opportunity.

“Oh my god, the Central Mother’s secrecy mission this time was too well executed, wasn’t it? In the past, weren’t there only ceremonies at Tianmen Square? How come there’s suddenly a second venue now? Why didn’t we hear any rumors about it before?”

“Exactly! I was about to turn off the TV and go to work, but my son insisted it wasn’t over, and I almost spanked him for it!”

“Hahahahaha, thank the great Central Mother! This is a real surprise!”

“But speaking of which, this place should be in the Tibetan region. Is there a reason for setting the temporary drill location on a plateau? Border? Or extreme environment?”

“I don’t know, let’s keep watching. Anyway, I’ve already decided not to go to work this afternoon; I’m just taking leave.”

In the live broadcast room, the audience members were all incredibly excited.

A grand ceremony held once every ten years, this wasn’t something that happened every year.

Moreover, previous ceremonies had always only taken place at Tianmen Square; this time, a second venue was even added.

Everyone was looking forward to the subsequent performance.

The commentator’s voice came from the television, answering everyone’s doubts.

The scene shifted, and the camera swept over desolate, barren lands. In places that were usually ignored, a special unit was rapidly deploying.

The same model of equipment transport vehicles from the ceremony appeared in view.

And the items loaded on them were precisely the same dark green “big toys” from the ceremony.

“This is?”

“This is a dongfeng express 11?!!!”

A seasoned old military enthusiast instantly recognized it, then couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his face filled with shock.

“What is the Central Mother planning to do? Wasn’t the dongfeng express 11 already displayed at the ceremony? This is…”

An absurd thought rose in the old military enthusiast’s mind, but he immediately shook his head and denied it.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!!

A live drill could never choose such a thing. You have to know, this isn’t a small toy for playing house. Minor skirmishes on a daily basis are one thing, but this is a genuine deterrent-level prop!

But the next moment, the commentator’s words completely reignited the shock in his heart.

“According to the live broadcast, the main content of this second venue demonstration is a global, pinpoint express delivery real-world exercise!”

“The model used is precisely the dongfeng express 11.”

“Currently, the prop is in the final preparation stage and can be launched at any moment!”

Real-world exercise!!!

It’s real!

The Central Mother wasn’t joking! He hadn’t guessed wrong either! This scene, which he wouldn’t even dare to imagine in his dreams, had actually appeared before his eyes.

The old military enthusiast’s mind began to race.

If they were really going to take action, where would the dongfeng express choose to deliver to?

Something so powerful, capable of easily destroying large buildings, surely needed a place to land, right?

The Atlantic Ocean? The Pacific Ocean? The Arctic Ocean?

No, given the Central Mother’s approach, it was impossible to cross so many regions and deliver to the above locations.

While such an action could demonstrate the dongfeng express’s true capabilities, it would also cause dissatisfaction among others internationally; such a move would be unwise.

But if it didn’t land on the sea, it couldn’t possibly land on land, could it?

That would be even more outrageous!

Just as everyone was racking their brains, guessing the dongfeng express’s landing spot, the camera suddenly zoomed in!!!

The commentator’s excited voice rang out!

“Just received news, the dongfeng express 11 will officially ignite in one minute. All viewers, please prepare for its arrival!”

“This station will use wireless remote cameras to follow the dongfeng express throughout its journey, ensuring a first-person perspective.”

It’s coming!!!

Ignition in one minute!

Upon hearing the news, everyone held their breath and began to count down silently in their hearts.

You know, this was the Central Mother’s only real-world dongfeng express exercise of such immense power in recent years. Not being excited was impossible! Everyone was looking forward to seeing if it could reach its designated location.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six.”

“…”

“Three, two, one.”

When the silent countdown in their hearts ended,

The anticipated scene of ignition and flames did not appear.

And just as everyone was wondering, the next second, the transport vehicle, angled at forty-five degrees towards the sky, suddenly began to slowly adjust and move its launch platform.

Only after the gigantic, dark green cylinder, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, pointed vertically towards the sky, did a deafening roar erupt.

The dongfeng express 11, amidst soaring flames and a sky full of dust, suddenly shot up from the ground, straight into the clouds!

The massive iron block, with tremendous momentum, launched at an inconceivably fast speed for its size, its tail glowing fiery red, causing the air to twist.

“Launched!!!”

“Holy crap! It really launched!!!”

“This is my first time seeing a dongfeng express launch live. Why does the initial speed feel faster than a rocket?”

“Who isn’t feeling that way?”

“The things being launched are different, so the speeds must be different too.”

“Ah ah ah ah ah, where is this thing actually going? Can anyone answer? The Central Mother and the commentator haven’t said anything.”

“I just saw an international news report, it seems Sakura Country is installing a defense system in T City today. The Central Mother wouldn’t have directly done a spot check, would she?”

“What the heck is a ‘spot check’…”

Just as netizens were speculating,

Sakura Country, Parliament Hall.

The Grand Secretary of Sakura Country, having witnessed the dongfeng express’s ascent, his face completely changed.

“They’re crazy! They’re crazy!!!”

“Huaxia Country is truly crazy! They actually launched it!!!”

Beside him, the minister responsible for national security also had a sallow face at this moment, his legs even starting to tremble uncontrollably.

“Grand Secretary, what, what do we do…”

“They really launched the dongfeng express!!!”

The Grand Secretary’s heart was filled with regret at this moment. If he had known that the other party was serious this time, why did he insist on putting on a brave face?

Given Sakura Country’s current capabilities, intercepting it would be incredibly difficult.

Now he could only pray that this dongfeng express wasn’t as miraculous as Huaxia Country boasted.

“Immediately initiate a full interception!!!”

“What about Meijian Country? Didn’t they say before that Huaxia Country wouldn’t actually act? Then what is this in front of us?!!!”

“Also, they promised that once the other side deployed forces we couldn’t handle, they would provide remote assistance.”

“Where is the assistance?! Where is the assistance?!!! Why can’t I even see a shadow of it!”

At this moment, only the Grand Secretary’s furious curses echoed throughout the Parliament Hall, lingering for a long time!
