Chapter 1433 Locusts
Chapter 1433 Locusts
On the boundless sea, warships are sailing, their massive bodies truly awe-inspiring, especially with rows of carrier-based aircraft lined up on the decks, giving one a sense of impending destruction.
At the very front of these warships was the United States' aircraft carrier. General Dawson stood on the deck, looking eastward through binoculars. As the commander-in-chief of this fleet, Dawson was riding high. If he could suppress Yan in this war, he would be remembered in history.
This battle was of historical significance; he could even achieve great feats that his predecessor Arthur could not.
"How many nautical miles are we still from the territorial waters of Yan Kingdom?"
The operations staff officer beside him replied, "Thirty nautical miles to go, sir."
"Has there been any response from Yan Country?"
"General, according to our intelligence, Yan seems to have made no response. There is no sign of them deploying warships or mobilizing troops. They don't even seem to know that we are about to enter their territorial waters. It's possible that they are still in a meeting and haven't been able to reach a consensus, which is why they haven't made any moves."
This is very abnormal... Dawson pondered for a while, and based on his confidence in his own strength, he ruled out all the possible possibilities and said, "Then let's ignore it, speed up, and tell the other countries not to hesitate any longer."
No sooner had the order been issued than leaders of other countries called in.
"General Dawson, are you sure you want to enter Yan's territorial waters like this? We're only thirty nautical miles away, but I have a bad feeling. Given Yan's style of warfare, it's impossible for them to remain completely silent for so long. Perhaps there's some conspiracy waiting for us. Yan is a country that values strategy very much."
Hearing such a futile guess from the other side, General Dawson said angrily, "Even if they make a move, so what? The entire Yan Kingdom has only three aircraft carriers. In the face of absolute strength, resistance is useless. Why do you care so much? We already decided to use force. Now that the enemy is at our gates, are you going to back down?"
"Pass on my order: speed up the advance."
After hanging up the phone, Dawson couldn't help but show a sarcastic expression.
This is the cowardice of people in the Asia-Pacific region. They become timid on the battlefield, unlike us Westerners who will do what we decide. They are simply a bunch of sick men.
"General, this is just their nature. This time, without our United States taking the lead, we can only watch Yan rise."
As Dawson and his staff were talking, suddenly, the shadow of an airplane appeared in the distant sky.
"Judging from this direction, they should have flown in from Yan Country, but we haven't entered their territorial waters yet, have we?"
Just as Dawson finished his guess, a loudspeaker blared from the sky.
"This is Yan Kingdom's territorial waters. Leave immediately, or you will face the consequences."
He repeated himself three times in both Chinese and English. Strangely, after he finished speaking, he didn't stay. Instead, he turned around and disappeared in front of their warship.
As quickly as it came, it can go quickly.
"They really are from Yan."
At that very moment, the generals from Goryeo, Peacock, and Little Day called Dawson again.
"General Dawson, should we take this further? We are still completely unaware of Yan's movements..."
"Shut up, they're just bluffing. War is the starting point; we can only move forward, not backward."
"We have six aircraft carriers and eight fleets in total. Are we afraid of the Yan people? I'll just wait for them to make their move."
"Also, you weren't afraid that you didn't see the other side stop, but you were afraid that they would stay and take our shells. If I hear any more dissenting voices, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, Dawson coldly hung up the call, then made a few sarcastic remarks about his ally, calling him a coward and worthless.
More than ten minutes later, the fleet of the anti-Yan Kingdom alliance approached within twenty nautical miles, and was less than a nautical mile from Yan Kingdom's territorial waters. At this moment, the opposite sea area was still calm and there was no movement. Strangely, not even birds could be seen.
All of this is very strange.
Standing in the howling wind, Dawson was filled with excitement. He was about to create a record that surpassed his predecessors. How could he not be excited?
"I told you, the Yan people have been at peace for too long and are afraid of war. They are still holding internal meetings, thinking about how to negotiate with us or put pressure on us through international public opinion. Unfortunately, I told the president before I left that we should eliminate all public opinion pressure. Their plan has backfired."
He was talking to himself when a huge black shadow appeared in front of him, looking like an airplane. Following the shadow, countless shadows flew out from under the airplane's cabin door.
The shadows spread out, forming tiny black dots that filled the sky in front.
Strict and orderly.
"What the hell……"
Some people saw this scene in the sky but didn't know what it meant. As the black dot drew closer, someone finally exclaimed in surprise, "It's a miniature aircraft!"
Thousands of micro-planes, maintaining their formation, flew densely towards their fleet, like locusts or swarms of bees, creating a sense of overwhelming terror.
In a matter of moments, such a dense array of micro-planes had arrived above their fleet. To everyone's astonishment, some of the small black dots suddenly descended and locked onto a destroyer below.
boom……
In a matter of moments, the destroyer, which was sailing peacefully on the sea, suddenly exploded, flames shooting into the sky. In just a few dozen seconds, thick smoke billowed across the sea, and the massive destroyer had been reduced to broken pieces, tilting towards the sea.
This scene stunned everyone.
"Did you see that? Why did the destroyer behind us suddenly explode?"
The country that was bombed was the Peacock Kingdom, which was left at the very back. It was in a daze, its eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
No one could understand what this meant; a perfectly good destroyer was blown up by a group of dark figures.
"Unlike airplanes, which are too tiny, they flew over like locusts and then, with a loud bang, sank the destroyer," someone reported.
General Dawson roared, "Nonsense! How could a destroyer be destroyed so easily? Find out what happened! Didn't the surveillance system capture this?"
"Too fast. The monitoring system on the destroyer has been destroyed. It looks like these weapons are locusts."
Dawson nearly coughed up blood. What kind of explanation was this? Locust weapons? Were these people out of their minds?
……
At this very moment, at the drone control center of Yan Country.
The operations staff had already reported the sinking of an enemy destroyer to the control room, and the previously oppressive atmosphere turned into cheers.
Old Ye said excitedly, "Not bad, not bad. In the first round of attacks, we sank an enemy destroyer. That was a heavy warship. It seems that the attack power of our drone swarm is very strong. I estimate that these bastards still don't know what is attacking them."
"They're moving too fast, they'll never guess, haha..."
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning. The main event is yet to come. The real show is about to begin."
Looking at Chen Jun's cold and murderous expression, Old Ye paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Um, Chen, according to the plan, isn't the goal to intimidate them and make them back down? So what do you mean..."
"No, sir, we've already warned them, but they're unwilling to back down. That's not enough to deter them; we have to teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Seemingly worried that Elder Ye might compromise, Chen Jun immediately gave the order: "Second wave of attack, begin!"
"understand!"
The personnel in the control center immediately pressed the red button.
