66: The American army suffered a great defeat and Aris's coffee cup fell again!

At the U.S. Military Joint Military Action Command, General Aris found his mind a complete mess for the first time since joining the war.

He had originally dispatched a heavy bomber, carrying a large-yield bunker-buster bomb, to destroy the American military's relatively intact armored unit, to eliminate future troubles.

For this, he had prepared a cup of coffee, sipping it while waiting for good news.

In recent days, due to a change in tactics, the U.S. Military was no longer so anxious, which gave Aris a lot of leisure time, allowing him to display the demeanor of a Grand Marshal strategizing from afar.

However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Inside the base's command hall, suddenly many operational screens either turned to static or flickered erratically, extremely unstable.

The entire hall was in chaos.

The command system was on the verge of collapse.

Aris almost spat out the coffee in his mouth, and his coffee cup slipped from his hand, falling to the ground.

He immediately stood up and questioned loudly, "What's going on?"

An intelligence analyst urgently reported, "Reporting, General, our military satellites are suspected of being under attack and are now unable to function effectively."

What?

Military satellites under attack?

How were they attacked?

Who attacked them?

Anti-War Army?

How is that possible? If the Anti-War Army had such capability, they wouldn't have been passively beaten and had their front lines eroded over the past few days.

Moreover, all of the Anti-War Army's armaments came from the previous Darwin Air Force Base's inventory, which contained no equipment capable of dealing with satellites.

Aris urgently asked, "Have you found the source of the attack?"

The intelligence officer replied, "We cannot confirm it at the moment, we can only confirm the American military's attack method."

"One is satellite blinding, using laser weapons from the ground or air, and the second is electronic jamming, either from the American military's high-altitude electronic warfare aircraft or jamming modules carried by the American military's satellites."

Aris was startled.

Currently, there are many types of satellites from various countries above Darwin, or above Australia.

After all, many countries are concerned about the Darwin conflict, and some have the capability to deploy satellites and fighter jets.

But those with the motive and capability to conduct blinding attacks or electromagnetic interference on U.S. Military satellites are few and far between.

Great Bear Country?

Unlikely, Great Bear Country is still stuck in that quagmire of war.

North Korea?

It would need to have that capability.

China!

Upon reaching this sole conclusion, Aris was shocked.

His heart pounded, his legs felt unusually weak, and his back was sweating.

As a hawk, he had once contemplated a war between the world's two most powerful nations, and had even personally pushed for war with China.

But that was then, not now.

If war were to break out now, Aris, based on his assessment of the U.S.'s current national strength, believed that the U.S. would indeed find it difficult to suppress that country with its unparalleled industrial power...

Aris instantly thought of many things, but the situation did not allow him to delay.

With the satellites blinded and the emergence of extensive electronic jamming, the U.S. Military's operational system temporarily collapsed; at the very least, communication with front-line units was no longer smooth, and the rear could not provide direct and rapid intelligence support or overall command to the front lines.

And the communication soldiers reported even worse news.

During the period when U.S. Military satellites were unable to function effectively, the Anti-War Army seized the opportunity and used long-range artillery to launch a concentrated attack on the U.S. Military's defensive lines.

Now, many of the U.S. Military's front-line defenses have been shattered.

And due to the lack of satellite intelligence support, the U.S. Military here cannot confirm the specific coordinates of the attacking force's origin.

Aris imagined the chaotic situation of the front-line U.S. Military, feeling both pained and angry, and immediately ordered air force, navy, and army aircraft to take off, participate in operations, conduct intelligence reconnaissance, or conduct close-range bombing of the American military's long-range artillery units.

At the same time, Aris asked the equipment maintenance personnel in the command hall how long it would take for satellite functions to recover, but was told it would be at least 10 minutes.

10 minutes, 10 minutes, how many long-range strikes would the U.S. Military suffer within 10 minutes!

Aris's heart grew cold.

Fortunately, with the efforts of the technical personnel and the various aircraft taking to the skies to participate in the operation, the situation improved.

But all aircraft also came up empty-handed.

Because the American military seemed to have foreknowledge, they withdrew and hid their long-range artillery units before the aircraft's missiles arrived.

Aris's adjutant asked, "Commander, should we have the city troops quickly rebuild the shattered defensive line?"

Aris paused, then suddenly said, "No, don't worry about it for now."

His order was tantamount to saying that the lost defensive line should be temporarily abandoned.

Was he worried about the satellite blinding and electromagnetic interference recurring?

Aris, however, was thinking that without confirming whether China was directly involved in the war, and before understanding China's specific motive for doing so, it would be best not to act blindly.

The situation was too significant.

He had to inform the Pentagon about this sudden development immediately!
