111: Chapter 111 Chen Yu Returns to Earth

At Cao Guangde's command, the Yanxia Fleet's destroyers, Attack Ships, frigates, and nuclear submarines—hundreds of warships in total—launched missiles as if they were free, flying towards all the warships in the United States aircraft carrier battle group.

The Yanxia Fleet had gone all out this time, gathering almost all of its naval power, with a combat-ready warship count several times that of the United States.

Also, due to the close distance, the United States carrier group was caught off guard, and their warships simply couldn't form a defense.

The United States Aegis destroyers' missiles were hit by Yanxia's missiles before they could even be launched.

Even if a missile from a certain United States destroyer flew towards the Yanxia Fleet, it would be intercepted by Yanxia's interceptor missiles.

This was a one-sided slaughter; in just half an hour, over a hundred United States warships were all hit.

Huge flames erupted from the aircraft carriers, and one of them was already half-submerged.

McHale looked at the tilting aircraft carrier, his heart filled with despair; his carelessness and arrogance had allowed the Yanxia Fleet to succeed.

"Captain, we should escape in a life raft; our aircraft carrier is sinking!" the adjutant anxiously said to McHale.

At this moment, McHale truly realized that Yanxia was no longer the Yanxia of the past.

They had already changed since Huanyu Technology sank their four aircraft carriers!

"Damn it, hateful! Yanxia people, you are truly despicable!"

McHale spat, quickly caught up with the adjutant, went to the edge of the deck, and jumped into a life raft.

After dealing with the two United States aircraft carrier battle groups blocking their way, Cao Guangde waved his hand, advancing towards the United States mainland.

As for the thousands of swimming United States soldiers on the sea, Cao Guangde didn't even bother to look at them.

Let them fend for themselves; the Yanxia Fleet sailed past with great momentum.

Sitting in a life raft, McHale watched this scene with bloodshot eyes.

"Damn it! They are just lunatics!"

In the United States mainland, inside the White House Emergency Operations Center.

All United States officials looked gloomy; just moments ago, the Yanxia Fleet, with an overwhelming force, annihilated their two aircraft carrier battle groups and over a hundred warships.

It seemed that this time Yanxia wasn't just talking; they were serious!

As the Secretary of Defense, Schneider was now very angry at Yanxia's actions.

"Madam President, we must retaliate! I suggest using intercontinental missiles to sink all their aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean!"

Schneider's proposal received support from most of the indignant United States high-ranking officials.

Harrison frowned in thought; it seemed Yanxia was truly pushed to the limit this time.

Are you kidding? When your own people are facing a crisis of extinction, aren't you pushed to the limit?

This was originally an incident provoked by the United States itself; they always thought they were the only warmongers.

But don't forget that the Yanxia of the past was also a nation built by the blood and sacrifice of its ancestors.

Inside the White House Operations Center, many high-ranking officials whispered among themselves, offering their suggestions, most of which called for launching intercontinental missiles for interception.

If those hundreds of Yanxia warships were really allowed to approach the United States mainland, they would indeed be somewhat caught off guard.

After all, there might be nuclear warheads on those Yanxia warships, and if they launched a few at them, who could bear it?

After careful consideration, Harrison stood up and ordered:

"Alright, this is a war initiated by Yanxia, and we are acting in self-defense. I declare that the intercontinental missile force be immediately activated to target the Yanxia aircraft carrier battle group and eliminate them in the depths of the Pacific Ocean!"

Harrison's order made the United States officials present applaud and celebrate, as if they had already annihilated the Yanxia Fleet.

They seemed very confident in their intercontinental missiles.

The United States indeed had confidence; their intercontinental missiles were very advanced and had always been in a leading position in the world.

Among them, the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile had a range of over 10,000 kilometers.

Its speed was very fast, making interception extremely difficult, and it could carry multiple nuclear warheads.

Of course, the United States still did not dare to be the first to use nuclear weapons for attack.

At most, they would use large-yield missiles, relying on their missile accuracy and interception difficulty.

They believed sinking the Yanxia aircraft carriers would be more than enough.

On the Yanxia side, they had long anticipated the power of the United States' long-range missiles.

Over the years, they had also been quietly developing interception technology specifically for United States missiles.

Just a few months ago, Chen Yu obtained those incomplete technical documents provided by the Yanxia government, and Chen Yu later completed those materials for the country.

In Chen Yu's view, these were just some low-level technologies of a level 2 civilization, not even worth mentioning.

But in the eyes of Yanxia's official military experts, they were very sci-fi technologies.

And among those technologies, there was a missile interception technology that had already been applied to actual combat by Yanxia military experts.

Now, this anti-missile weapon was installed on the 055 destroyers, so the current Yanxia aircraft carrier battle group was not afraid of United States missiles at all.

Hundreds of Yanxia warships continued to advance towards the United States mainland!

The next day, Chen Yu's homeland-class spaceship finally arrived at Earth.

This time, because it was loaded with hundreds of millions of tons of ore, the inertia was too great, and just the deceleration took three hours.

The homeland-class spaceship slowly docked at the space station in low Earth orbit, directly connected to Chen Yu's space elevator below.

Hundreds of millions of tons of ore in the spaceship were to be transported to Earth via the space elevator.

Chen Yu returned to Yanxia aboard a landing craft, leaving the task of transporting the ore to an automated program.

He needed to return to Yanxia quickly to research the new virus rampant on Earth.
