Beautiful Country!
4:12 AM.
Unusually, the road leading to the Pentagon was congested.
Many have seen Los Angeles at four in the morning, but few have seen the Pentagon brightly lit at that hour.
At this moment inside the Pentagon, the emergency meeting continued relentlessly.
Everyone was anxiously waiting. When the sea battle erupted at the Ryukyu Islands, including President Jesmin, CIA Director Judith, Minister of Defense Harmon, Chief of Staff, Minister of Navy, Secretary of State, Minister of Finance, and a host of high-ranking military and political officials, none could afford to feel sleepy, and no one could sleep at this critical juncture.
When the 60 carrier aircraft of the Beautiful Country's Roosevelt Carrier, along with over two hundred military aircraft in total from the Ryukyu Islands, took off, there was an atmosphere of excitement and high tension.
The carrier victory theory is mainstream in Blue Star's naval warfare, with a total of three hundred aircraft sorties, combined with strikes from the Carl Vinson Carrier and Washington Carrier's carrier aircraft.
This was enough to leave Jieke Group's Far East Mixed Fleet with no place to hide.
But that excitement didn't last long. When the Yuan Shou finally surfaced from below the water, what awaited them were a series of bad news.
Aircraft were knocked down like Stupid Pigeons, warships continuously sunk, even their nuclear-powered aircraft carriers couldn't escape, bombed by that terrifying battleship.
Through satellite reconnaissance, the massive battleship, over 500 meters long, could be seen equipped with large-caliber guns firing shells that looked less like solid objects and more like luminous blue spheres.
Despite being seemingly outdated, this battleship sent the aircraft carriers, destroyers, escort ships, and aircraft of the missile era to the sea bed.
When the last request for immediate repair of the hull from the Washington Carrier, requesting to return to the Pearl Harbor was received, the Pentagon fell into deathly silence.
President Jesmin seemed to have aged ten years overnight as he looked at the compiled reports, his fingers trembling, causing the surrounding high-ranking military and political officials to be deeply shaken, immediately calling for a doctor.
Afraid that Jesmin might suffer a sudden attack out of anger, they worried about who would handle this mess.
"You've ruined me, you folks have ruined me! Two carriers sunk, one heavily damaged and fleeing, is this the military's assurance of victory, the answer you give me after going to war with Jieke Group?"
After catching his breath again, Jesmin was enraged, his face ashen, glaring at Minister of Defense Harmon and the group of military personnel, his eyes wishing to tear people apart.
Aircraft carriers are the greatest military power for Beautiful Country to stir international affairs, appearing frequently in regional conflicts, intimidating other countries.
Although the Beautiful Country Navy has other advanced maritime equipment, none could bring the supreme glory and prestigious achievements to the Beautiful Country Navy like aircraft carriers did. Among Beautiful Country people, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are considered the most proud and honored national treasure.
Thus, the sinking of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers not only heavily damaged Beautiful Country Navy's confidence but also significantly affected Beautiful Country's prestige, indicating that Beautiful Country Navy is not invincible.
Even just one being sunk can greatly shake the position of "World Dominator" held by Beautiful Country Navy.
Let alone being sunk two and injuring one this time.
These immense casualties would inevitably lead the world to question if Beautiful Country Navy is still the strongest fleet globally.
Simply put, the team has become difficult to lead.
Without the title of World Dominator, how can those underlings continue to blindly follow orders?
Compared to that, economic losses are secondary.
Facing Jesmin's angry gaze, Harmon and the group of high-ranking military officials showed guilty expressions, their heads hung low.
This Ryukyu Sea war, Beautiful Country was defeated, and it was a complete defeat. This is an indisputable fact.
Now, major global media outlets are likely working overtime, creating headline news about the Ryukyu Sea's Beautiful Country's tragic defeat.
By tomorrow morning, their embarrassing incident will be known worldwide.
"Why is everyone silent, say something!"
Jesmin grew increasingly furious. He anticipated the possibility of losing this battle but never imagined such a thorough defeat, routed by a single enemy battleship, nearly obliterating the entire fleet.
As President of the Beautiful Country, he personally signed the declaration of war, but how long since war started, has they been routed at sea by Jieke Group, abandoning armor and fleeing?
The destruction of their own fleet undoubtedly lost control of the sea in the Western Pacific, not to mention curbing Jieke Group's expansion, whether they can prevent Jieke Group's threat to the homeland is now a question.
As President, he made such a massive blunder during his term, destined to bear infamy, becoming one of the most incompetent presidents in Beautiful Country history.
In future Blue Star history, when children learn from which point Beautiful Country began to decline from World Dominator, if it's written as the battle of the Ryukyu Sea, he will be branded the sinner of Beautiful Country, an eternal disgrace.
The thought of that scene caused Jesmin's blood pressure to spike, his anger uncontrollable.
"Your Excellency, the Super Battleship made by Jieke Group was an unexpected occurrence, we couldn't foresee the appearance of such black technology warship."
Harmon braced himself, stepping forward to take the blame once more, as he is already laden.
From the Penglai Fairy Island incident, he bore the blame for the sinking of two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, almost being ousted from his position back then.
However, suddenly faced with Jieke Group's action against Japan, at that pivotal moment, no one was willing to take his position, enabling him to continue being the Minister of Defense.
