299: Chapter 299 The Final Offensive Against Japan! The Only Thing

General Li Jingwu conceded quickly, but his facial expression was as constipated as could be.

In the final two hours before the Luan Bird's maiden flight, he had been full of anticipation, having already planned which spots on the "Luan Bird" aerospace carrier he would visit to check in and take photos.

Yet, the Marshal of the Three Armed Forces suddenly ordered him to guard the national tactical command platform, leaving General Li Jingwu extremely depressed.

You have to understand, the second phase of the Nantianmen Project was officially established under General Li Jingwu, and the "Luan Bird" aerospace carrier was like his own child to him.

Now, after half a year of anticipation, it had finally been completed, yet he, the former head of the General Armament Department, couldn't go to the site to watch the ceremony. This was even worse than eating excrement!

But the Marshal's order could not be disobeyed, and following command in all actions was the sacred duty of every Dragon Army soldier. So, what else could he do... just obediently follow orders!

"Comrade Li Jingwu, what's with that expression?" "Are you that eager to go watch the maiden flight in person?" Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng turned his head, looked at General Li Jingwu, and smiled.

"If you really want to go..." "Then the operational command for the upcoming final assault on Japan will have to be left to Comrade Long Jianjun."

Upon hearing this, General Li Jingwu was completely stunned. "The final assault on Japan???"

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng nodded: "That's right." General Li Jingwu hurriedly asked: "When?" "Now, immediately, right away!" Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng stated firmly.

"Comrade Li Jingwu!" "You also know that in the past hour, we not only completely annihilated the Eagle military bases on the three island chains, but we also wiped out the stationed Eagle troops in Australia!"

"It can be said that the nails planted by the Eagle around China have all been removed!" Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng pointed to the huge screen in the center of the tactical command platform, which displayed a map of the Blue Star, with the entire Asia-Pacific region marked in red.

"Now!" "The entire Asia-Pacific region has effectively become China's controlled territory!" "It is time to let Japanese militarism disappear from the Blue Star forever!"

After listening to Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's words, General Li Jingwu was also filled with excitement. He never expected that he would be able to personally command the final assault to destroy Japan.

Avenging the martyrs was not only the supreme glory but also the ultimate dream of every Chinese soldier!

"Marshal!" Long Jianjun, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, said jokingly. "Look at Comrade Li Jingwu, he hasn't said a word for a long time. Maybe you should just leave this command mission to me!"

Upon hearing this, General Li Jingwu immediately exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Get lost, you idiot!" "Go watch your maiden flight obediently!"

"Are you the Chief of General Staff or am I?" "I, General Li Jingwu, am definitely taking this command today, and no one can take it from me!" "If anyone keeps flapping their lips, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

Seeing General Li Jingwu's attitude do a 180-degree turn, everyone burst into laughter.

"Comrade Li Jingwu," "After the Luan Bird takes off, we will immediately launch the final assault against the Eagle, and settle the fate of the entire Blue Star in one blow."

Looking at the few remaining blue dots on the big screen, Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's eyes gleamed with cold light. "You only have two hours!"

"The main objectives of this final assault against Japan are demilitarization and the removal of threats. You are in charge of the specific operational arrangements. I only have a four-character requirement for you!" "Be measured!"

Upon hearing this, General Li Jingwu nodded to show he understood. Japan was just an appetizer for the Blue Star war; the strategic focus still needed to be on the Eagle, their only major enemy.

Furthermore, after unifying the Blue Star, the issues would be more about how to govern and assimilate, so indeed, one needed to be mindful of the scale and measure.

General Li Jingwu thought he had understood Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's meaning, but what Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng said next almost made him spit out his saliva. Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng said solemnly. "Comrade Li Jingwu, you must be measured, but you cannot be too gentle!"

General Li Jingwu tentatively asked. "Does the Marshal mean... not too few deaths?"

Seeing that General Li Jingwu had understood, Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng nodded with satisfaction. "Exactly!" "There is a deep blood feud between China and Japan!"

"If we don't take this opportunity during the final assault on Japan to avenge the past grievances, once the Blue Star is unified, there will really be no chance left!" "If the hatred of the Chinese people is not resolved through this, it will only accumulate deeper and eventually brew into a greater disaster!"

"Comrade Li Jingwu, you cannot be overly concerned about your reputation!" After confirming this, General Li Jingwu felt a little helpless in his heart.

He had been wondering why Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng, the Marshal of the Three Armed Forces, insisted on giving him the command authority for the final assault on Japan, even though it didn't require much commanding. So that was what he was waiting for!

It was indeed true. Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng, who had now become the de facto second-in-command, could not be stained with too much blood, as that would be very detrimental to future united front work. So, the person to wield the butcher's knife and take the blame had to be someone else...

However, General Li Jingwu thought about it again. As long as he wasn't planning to reach for that position, wouldn't the title of "Japan-Slaughtering God of War" be a unique, supreme honorary title? It was both domineering and satisfying; others couldn't ask for it even if they wanted to!

"Rest assured, Marshal!" General Li Jingwu's face beamed with excitement. "Today, I will make Japan bleed rivers!"

Japan. Outside the Ministry of Defense building. All high-ranking military officials were assembled.

"China has now declared war on Japan!" General Watanabe had cold sweat on his back, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"An hour ago, all of the Eagle's military bases in the Asia-Pacific region lost contact, including the Chongshen Base within Japan!"

"But gentlemen, do not worry!" "In order to maintain its international image, China will absolutely not take action against us!" "If they wanted to take action, we would have already been captured in the last military operation!"

After a pause, General Watanabe continued. "In accordance with Prime Minister Meima's requirements!" "Our Japan Self-Defense Forces must uphold the dignity of the Japanese people and must never surrender without a fight!..."

Before General Watanabe could finish his sentence, "Boom, boom, boom!!! — — — —" A series of extremely violent sonic booms came from the sky, and everyone was so frightened that they instinctively crouched down.

When they looked up at the sky, everyone was immediately terrified, and their whole bodies started to tremble! They saw that beneath a dozen fighter jet contrails, dozens of missiles were hurtling toward their Ministry of Defense building!

And the "Patriot" air defense and anti-missile systems deployed throughout Tokyo were completely unresponsive!
