117: Chapter 117 A Stroll in the Garden, A Wild Aircraft Carrier
"Oh, United States!"
"That overconfident Dragon God actually dares to threaten us with nuclear weapons!"
"Does it think we don't have nuclear weapons?!"
In the command center.
Wilson was furious, smashing the radio in his hand into pieces with a single punch.
As the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, he reigned supreme over the Pacific Ocean. Even the Dragon Soul wouldn't dare to be this arrogant; this Dragon God was truly courting death.
If he didn't teach it a lesson, it would think the Antarctic continent belonged to the Dragon God.
"Commander, please calm down. Nuclear weapons are no joke."
"Once this thing comes out, we're all doomed."
A staff officer hurriedly advised Wilson.
Destroyer PK is fine. Cruiser PK is also fine. Shooting at each other with fighter jets is even fine.
After all, it wouldn't be them in the command center who die.
But if they used nuclear weapons...
That indiscriminate, large-scale damage would mean he wouldn't be able to escape either!
"Hmph!"
"Our six major carrier strike groups are now assembled near the Antarctic continent; where is the need for nuclear weapons?"
"Contact the three strike groups on the west side immediately and keep shrinking the sailing range."
"Force the Dragon God's route into an extremely small area!"
"Either stop sailing!"
"Or get out!"
Wilson ordered.
His subordinate staff officer quickly brought a new radio and began contacting the three strike groups on the west side.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Black Robe of the Black Palace had also learned about the encounter between the Pacific Fleet and the Dragon God.
"Heh, so it really won't give way?"
"Just as I wished!"
"Someone come here!"
"Contact the commander of the USS Washington for me!"
The Lord of the Black Robe gave the order.
Soon, he connected with the commander of the USS Washington, Hua Tiezhu.
"Lord of the Black Robe, please speak!"
Hua Tiezhu replied in fluent English.
During this time, as a UFO, he had not only become an aircraft carrier commander but also learned that the legendary Area 51 of the United States actually existed.
In Area 51, there were other extraterrestrial life forms.
Of course, Tiezhu said he came from a planet called Four-Body.
He was not quite the same as those extraterrestrial life forms in Area 51.
The Lord of the Black Robe was not suspicious, because they had many aliens working in various industries within their country.
Now it was just one more Tiezhu.
"Tiezhu, I have a great mission to entrust to you now."
The Lord of the Black Robe issued orders to Tiezhu remotely via the electronic screen.
"According to our intelligence, all of the Dragon Kingdom's aircraft carriers have gone out to sea."
"This means their backyard, the Southern Sea Area, currently has no troops."
"Your mission for this trip is to go to the Southern Sea Area and take a walk!"
The Lord of the Black Robe said this with a look of smugness on his face.
If your house is on fire, let's see if your aircraft carriers continue the standoff or go home to put out the fire!
Heh!
This is the benefit of having many aircraft carriers.
The Dragon Kingdom's aircraft carriers are still not enough.
Once a standoff begins, they are stretched thin.
"Understood, Tiezhu has received it!"
Hua Tiezhu said, hanging up the communication.
At this moment, he was on a routine patrol in the waters of Alaska.
Upon receiving the order from the Lord of the Black Robe, he immediately had the carrier strike group sail rapidly towards the southwest.
When the USS Washington headed towards the Southern Sea Area, news of the standoff between the Dragon God and the six major carrier strike groups also reached major media outlets.
"Shocking! A little girl encounters six big men... Click for details."
"The Dragon God encounters six major carrier strike groups; is this a lack of aircraft carriers, or a lack of strength!"
"The Dragon God is in danger, can it still return!"
Once these sensational headlines appeared, netizens clicked on them one after another.
[Damn, six big men? Mmp, editor, I'm going to beat your grandpa.]
[Is the Dragon God surrounded? Emergency call to the Dragon Soul and long ming aircraft carrier! Codename: Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds!]
While the netizens of the Dragon Kingdom were worried about the safety of the Dragon God, the netizens of Sakura City also became excited.
[Is the Dragon God going to sink?]
[It must be! Haha, just like our Great River battleship, it will definitely sink, it must sink.]
[...]
A day and a half later.
At the Kobe Port in Sakura City.
A massive carrier fleet passed by and stopped for a short rest.
Princess Yingya Waner, dressed in a princess kimono, followed her father to the port to welcome the USS Washington.
"Strange, why would this USS Washington suddenly visit our Kobe Port?"
Princess Yingya Waner was a bit puzzled.
She was also following the carrier standoff in the Antarctic.
She never expected that this USS Washington would come to Japan.
Not long after, a massive fleet arrived at the port.
A group of high-ranking officers wearing general stars walked towards them in full dress.
"This is the newly appointed commander of our USS Washington, Tiezhu Hua!"
A translator introduced to the King of Japan.
The King of Japan hurriedly bowed 90 degrees with his daughter: "Welcome, Commander Tiezhu Hua, to our country!"
"If you have any needs, feel free to mention them!"
Princess Yingya Waner also bowed.
But her expression was a bit strange.
Because the first time she saw Tiezhu, she felt a sense of familiarity.
It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.
But for a moment, because of the changes in Tiezhu's clothing and hairstyle, this sense of strangeness made her unable to recall.
Most importantly, she had never had any contact with the USS Washington's carrier command.
This was the first time she had welcomed an aircraft carrier commander with her father since she became an adult.
"There is indeed a small request."
Tiezhu had his subordinate take out a sheet of A4 paper and hand it to the King of Japan.
The King of Japan took it and looked at it, almost fainting.
What was written on it was rare earth, oil, iron ore, and various other natural resources.
He made a rough calculation; it was worth about 50 billion!
"Mr. Commander, this is too much. Our Japan already lacks natural resources. You are asking for a lion's share..."
The King of Japan said, trembling.
He thought they had come to protect Sakura City, not to eat big meat.
"The evil Dragon Kingdom is still eyeing us from the west. We have been protecting you for so long; isn't it appropriate for you to pay us a little travel fee?"
Tiezhu said indifferently, then reminded him.
"Also, you looked at the front; there is more on the back."
The King of Japan flipped the list over, and the back was densely packed with more requests.
The total had already exceeded 100 billion US dollars.
His eyes went dark, and he fainted immediately.
However, would Tiezhu let him get away with it?
He had skilled medical personnel 'cure' him.
"Please hurry up and collect the supplies; I will only give you three hours."
Tiezhu said.
The King of Japan shouted: "Three hours, that's impossible, there's not enough time at all! At least half a day..."
"Deal! Half a day it is."
Tiezhu said and walked away to rest.
"..."
The King of Japan turned back and asked Princess Yingya Waner, "Who said half a day?"
"You did."
Princess Yingya Waner gave a bitter smile.
Forced by the immense power of the carrier strike group anchored in the port, the King of Japan eventually had people transport these natural resources worth 100 billion US dollars onto the decks of the aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers.
If the decks hadn't been full, this bastard might have asked for more.
By evening, after Tiezhu had fully charged and refueled, he left Kobe Port.
"Safe travels, Commander!"
The King of Japan waved his hand energetically.
He needed to hurry and send away this god of plague.
Tiezhu led the carrier strike group and sailed majestically towards the Southern Sea Area of the Dragon Kingdom.
When they were only two hundred nautical miles away from the Naval Department Base, a radio message was sent to Commander Tang Ze in the form of a secret cipher.
[Report to the Commander-in-Chief, I am Heavenly General Tiezhu, number...]
[I have caught a wild aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean and am about to enter the port. Please be prepared!]
