Chapter 1343 No Apology
The atmosphere in the classified laboratory was slightly tense. Chen Jun looked at Elder Ye calmly, his gaze steady and steady. He said slowly, "Commander, launching just one missile isn't enough. The effect is truly limited. This process was probably too swift, so the enemy might not even have time to determine that it was us who launched the missile."
Ye Lao frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought, and asked: "What do you mean..."
Chen Jun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. He explained methodically, "I suggest continuing the launch and issuing a statement saying that we launched by mistake."
Upon hearing this, Elder Ye nodded decisively without hesitation, saying in a firm tone, "That makes sense. With America's immense pride, they certainly won't yield easily. However, after the three missiles have been launched, even if they still refuse to surrender, their allies will undoubtedly be frightened. At that time, they will undoubtedly do everything they can to force their leader to apologize to us."
"That's exactly what I mean." Chen Jun took over and continued his analysis. "We want to use this move to send a strong signal to America's allies that they can't stop our powerful weapon."
At this point, Chen Jun paused briefly, then said sincerely, "Commander, please call and ask for approval first. After all, there are many variables in the development of the matter. The actual operation may require more than three missiles to be launched."
Indeed, according to the plan proposed by Chen Jun, such a major decision could not be made by Mr. Ye alone. It required collective discussion and approval. So, Mr. Ye quickly picked up the phone and called the crisis management team.
An hour later, the resolution was returned.
Things went relatively smoothly afterwards.
At this moment, these scientists seemed to have been injected with a shot of cardiac stimulant, and each of them was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The unique DNA inherited from them was fully activated, and the spirit of resistance against invaders, deeply ingrained in their ancestors, was now fully demonstrated. Whether fighting against the invaded people or resisting Western powers, this sentiment was deeply ingrained in them.
No matter which generation faces such a moment, they will feel proud, straighten their backs and be full of energy.
Chen Jun followed the military's orders and waited patiently. Not long after, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement. The statement roughly stated that during the test launch of the new missile, some unexpected circumstances occurred, causing the missile to deviate from its originally planned trajectory.
After all, this is a new type of missile capable of orbiting the Earth, so such errors are understandable, as this is an unprecedented attempt. It was also emphasized that Yan State will continue to launch missiles, and if any missiles accidentally land on the territory of other countries, it would be a pure coincidence, and we hope that all countries will be understanding.
The diplomat emphasized that there would be a second and a third missile launched...
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this statement, while seemingly euphemistic, is actually a strong provocation.
In a building far away on the other side of the ocean, the person in charge was furious upon hearing the news. His face flushed red, his eyes burning with anger, and he felt that Yan Country was too arrogant and presumptuous.
"Let them fire! Immediately notify the troops to prepare for interception!"
Soon, the United States' air defense system was fully activated, entering a state of high alert. Sure enough, not long after, their monitoring system detected a missile rapidly approaching the mainland. However, a strange thing happened. Although the monitoring system detected the missile's trace, it was unable to lock onto it, and naturally, there was no way to intercept it. Accompanied by a series of piercing alarms, the second weapon finally exploded like a massive bomb ten kilometers from their city.
Everyone watched helplessly. Although they had received advance notice and were prepared for interception, in the end they were powerless and could only watch the powerful weapon explode before their eyes.
This incident instantly caused an uproar and shocked the whole world.
Within the United States, the people were particularly furious. They had never imagined that a nation would dare to openly launch a weapon of mass destruction against them, and that their vaunted military would be completely defenseless against the incoming weapon, completely unable to intercept it. This harsh reality sent many into a state of panic, raising serious doubts about their nation's military prowess. They couldn't help but wonder if the once-mighty lion had lost its sharp teeth. After all, their military seemed to have stagnated and even deteriorated in recent years. Even the much-vaunted Zeus system proved ineffective at a crucial moment, like a mere decoration.
Twice in a row, missiles exploded right at their doorstep. This stark and cruel reality ruthlessly told all citizens of the United States that their military was not strong enough to protect them, at least when it came to intercepting large-scale weapons.
Amidst this dire situation, some insightful individuals have begun to realize the severity of the problem and feel the need to maintain peaceful and friendly relations with Yan. Especially a month ago, many were blindly following the trend to smear Yan, wantonly accusing it of arrogance. Now, faced with this situation, they have chosen silence. Of course, some still harbor dissatisfaction and secretly accuse and complain, but this can no longer change the overall situation.
Soon, on the Yan State side, the third powerful weapon was launched into the sky with a roar.
This time, the missile's target wasn't the West Coast, but a different direction—the famed Gulf of Alaska. This region is even more distant, but its choice of launch site carries even greater significance. It demonstrates to America that even at great distances, our weapons of mass destruction can still reach us with pinpoint accuracy, rendering your vaunted interceptor system useless and completely ineffective.
The weapon landed accurately on the ground, exploding with a deafening roar. The energy generated by the explosion spread rapidly in all directions like a surging wave.
The news was like a tsunami.
"They have already launched three missiles! The Zeus defensive system that we spent so much effort to build has not been able to successfully intercept a single one. Even our satellites can only vaguely capture the arrival of the opponent's missiles, but cannot lock on to them at all, let alone form a clear image..." A staff member reported the situation to the bosses present with a look of anxiety and helplessness on his face.
Upon hearing this depressing news, all the bosses fell into a collective silence. Embarrassment and shock were written across everyone's face, as if they had been slapped hard in the face, a searing pain spreading through their hearts.
As you can imagine, the entire United States was plunged into chaos, the people were in panic, and social order was seriously affected. Not only the United States, but all the Western powers in the world were deeply shocked by this incident, like a pot of boiling water.
The United States, which once dominated the world, is now completely helpless in the face of the powerful weapons from the Yan Country. What does this mean?
Many nations were acutely aware that the impact of these three weapons went far beyond simply deterring the United States. They also served as a stark warning to themselves. After all, even the Zeus system, built with vast resources by the United States, was unable to intercept Yan's weapons. Their own defense systems, both in terms of performance and technological sophistication, were far inferior to the Zeus system. Some even purchased their own systems from the United States. In this situation, they were forced to reassess their relationship with Yan and consider the potential serious consequences of becoming an enemy.
In an instant, all countries around the world, big and small, that had offended Yan Nation in some way, were thrown into a state of panic. They began to worry whether they would be the next target of Yan Nation's "attention."
In the office of the old empire, the British Empire, several senior officials are urgently discussing the matter.
"Of course! Yan Country is so bold this time that it would launch a massive attack on the United States?" an official said in surprise.
"Sir, they are not just brave, the key is that they succeeded. Look, the Zeus defense system of the United States, which is said to be invincible, is useless in front of the missiles of the Yan Country and cannot be intercepted at all." Another official added.
"It was the Beauty Country that caused this trouble. They sent a large number of agents to assassinate the general of the Yan Country, and they maintained a tough attitude and refused to apologize afterwards. So, this time the Yan Country wants to teach them a severe lesson and let them know that the Yan Country is not to be trifled with." Another official analyzed.
"I think we need to remind the United States to calm down and calm down. They should apologize promptly. Who asked them to blatantly provoke the general of the Yan State? I can't stand it anymore." A senior official said earnestly.
……
Meanwhile, in other corners of the world, similar discussions were raging in government offices. They generally believed that the root cause of this incident lay in the provocative actions of the United States. With the United States now demonstrating its formidable strength, confronting it head-on was unwise. For their own interests and security, the best option was to apologize to the United States and ease tensions.
Thus, emails came like snowflakes. Although these emails came from different countries, the core meaning they expressed was surprisingly consistent... That is to urge the United States to apologize to the United States!
Inside the office, the person in charge angrily scanned the emails and completely lost his mind. He angrily threw the mouse out. If the table was not sturdy, he would have overturned it.
"It's just a few high-kill weapons. Why are they so panicked and even forced to apologize?"
"Other countries don't need to pay attention. They're all fence-sitters, siding with whichever side of the wind blows stronger. Since the founding of our beautiful country, when has it ever apologized to any other country? It's always been others who give in to us. We will never apologize!"
However, the head of national defense sighed helplessly at this time and said worriedly: "I still suggest that we apologize to Yan Country. Look at the current situation. All countries no longer support us. Instead, they have all turned to Yan Country. Unless we can develop more advanced and powerful missiles in a short period of time, otherwise, for the sake of national interests and stability, we have no choice but to apologize."
"Are you kidding me? Believe it or not, I'll fire you immediately!" The teacups on the table bounced up from the jolt. In his opinion, asking a leader of a country to apologize to Yan was a humiliating act. It would undoubtedly be nailed to history's pillar of shame and become a laughing stock for future generations.
"Well, I'm just making a suggestion. But you have to admit that our people have reacted very strongly to this incident. Besides, no one knows where Yan Nation's next killer weapon will explode. From what I know about Yan Nation, once they decide to accomplish something, they will definitely carry it out to the end. In other words, they will definitely continue to launch missiles."
The officer in charge was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing with anger, and said viciously: "Humph, do they dare to launch a weapon of mass destruction at our homeland?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. No one was sure what action Yan Nation would take next.
At this time, the head of national defense continued to persuade earnestly, "If Yan Country really launches a large-scale weapon and we are unable to intercept it, in this case, if we use forbidden weapons to respond, then our beautiful country's reputation will plummet and its national image will completely collapse. At that time, your position will probably be seriously affected, or even shaken. Unless we are absolutely sure that we can win this war. But based on the current situation, using forbidden weapons is simply impossible, and no one dares to set such a precedent. After all, the key to today's military competition is still the contest of large-scale weapon technology."
"Even if I die here, right now on this chair, I will never apologize! I will never bow to the Yan Kingdom. I can't do that. I can't do that..."
An hour later, a statement of apology was sent to Yan Guo.
