Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 429 If you want to fight, then fight!
He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Connect!"

"Yes!"

The signalman sat down, put his hands on the keyboard and started operating.

After a few seconds.

The picture on the central display changed and showed Thomas.

Thomas stood up and raised his hand to salute.

Brody didn't say much and asked directly:
"Thomas, have you arrived at the exercise location?"

"Yes!" Thomas replied, "We have arrived!"

When everyone heard this, a smile appeared on their face.

Although I had guessed it before, I still felt excited when I heard the exact answer!

However, Thomas continued, "But, Admiral, Kyushu has sent troops!"

"!"

Brody's face froze instantly, as if he was struck by lightning!
The same was true for everyone else present.

Their hearts were shaken and their minds were in turmoil.

The good mood just now disappeared in an instant!

Brody quickly recovered from his shock. His face darkened and he said, "Transmit the footage of the Kyushu Fleet back immediately!"

Brody knew that since Thomas said it so confidently, it meant that they had discovered Kyushu’s fleet!

"Yes!"

Thomas responded, and then he was heard instructing someone to transmit the footage captured by the drone back to the headquarters' combat command room.

Brody and his group were waiting anxiously and solemnly!

Everyone was surprised that Jiuzhou actually sent troops!
……

Obviously no notice was issued...

After a few seconds.

I saw that the communication video screen of Thomas on the central display screen was split.

On the left is the picture of Thomas, and on the right is the picture on the sea.

In the picture, a huge fleet is sailing on the distant sea. A red flag is flying above each warship, fluttering in the sea breeze!

All of a sudden, everyone's pupils shrank. Moreover, from the picture, they felt the momentum and determination of the Kyushu Fleet, "If you want to fight, then fight!"
Several subordinates beside Brody were all shocked and couldn't believe what was happening!
"Jiuzhou actually sent out troops! But why didn't they make any announcement?"

"Could it be that they are planning to go to war with us and feel that issuing a notice is useless and cannot stop our military exercises, so they are not issuing a notice?"

"Well, that's very possible!"

Several leaders began to discuss the issue unconsciously.

When the other soldiers present heard what their leaders said, they also felt that it made sense and their hearts became solemn.

They had previously thought that since Kyushu had not issued any notice, it meant that no troops would be sent, and the mission would be easy and simple, as long as General Wilson finished the exercise and returned.

But Kyushu has sent out troops, and it is such a large fleet, which is very likely to be preparing for war!

Now things are getting complicated!
"Yeah." Thomas added, "That's what I thought. Kyushu is planning to go to war, so they won't issue a notice."

Notices are actually useless things. They can only tell others about the situation but cannot prevent or change anything.

And once the decision to go to war is made, it doesn’t matter whether this thing is issued or not.

We have already decided to go to war, why send out this useless thing?
After saying this, Thomas asked again: "Admiral, what should we do next? Should we start a military exercise?"

Now that Kyushu has sent troops, it cannot conduct military exercises rashly.

Because, given Kyushu's current posture, if they start military exercises, they will most likely be attacked.

And once attacked, the two countries will go to war.

This matter was too serious for Thomas to bear the responsibility, so he had to report it to the headquarters and follow their instructions.

Brody heard this and knew that if he started the exercise, it would inevitably attract an attack from Kyushu, and then he would go to war with Kyushu.

He can't afford such consequences!

"This matter must be reported to Gong Bai as soon as possible, and everyone should be called to a meeting to discuss and make a decision!" Brody said to himself.

His face was gloomy.

I originally thought it would be a very easy thing, but I didn't expect Jiuzhou to be so courageous. They sent out troops and put on an attitude of "If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

How abominable!

Anger rose in his heart.

Then, he looked up at Thomas on the central display and expressed his thoughts frankly: "The current situation is complicated, and we should not act rashly. This matter is of great importance. I need to report to the president first and convene senior officials for urgent consultations."

"Don't forget to notify the Japanese fleet," Brody added in a serious tone.

"Understood!" Thomas nodded in response.

"it is good."

After the video call ended, the combat command room fell into a dull and depressing atmosphere.

The previous relaxed atmosphere was gone, and everyone felt as if a heavy rock was pressing down on their hearts.

It was originally thought that Jiuzhou would remain silent and dare not intervene in this matter, so no one expected that Jiuzhou would resolutely send troops!

Brody thought for a moment and turned to leave. He was going to report to the president and prepare an online meeting to discuss countermeasures.

This matter is of great importance, we must pool our wisdom and make decisions together!

Looking at the admiral's departing back, the subordinates all frowned.

……

The scene switches to the vast sea.

Thomas conveyed Brody's instructions to the captain of the Japanese fleet, Vice Admiral Motoichi Ishida, who understood and complied.

Ishida Motoichi has just contacted the national headquarters and received instructions to follow the arrangements of the United States. At the same time, the headquarters is also communicating with the United States to see how it will deal with this emergency.

As a result, the US fleet and the Japanese fleet, a total of twelve ships, were quietly anchored on the sea, without any movement.

As for the Kyushu Fleet, it has a total of fourteen ships, including aircraft carriers, and is still approaching the direction of the US and Japanese fleets!

……

Time flies.

In the control room of the U.S. aircraft carrier, Thomas and several of his subordinates were anxiously waiting for the results of the headquarters meeting.

At the same time, the air defense weapon systems of their ships have all been activated and are on high alert, aiming in the direction of the Kyushu fleet.

The Kyushu fleet is coming with great force, and no one can guarantee that they will not launch missiles in the next second!
At this moment, the radar soldier suddenly discovered that the Kyushu Fleet on the radar screen had stopped moving. His heart tightened, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He quickly stood up and reported to Thomas: "Report! After leaving the East China Sea, the Kyushu Fleet has stopped moving towards our ship and is currently four nautical miles away from our ship!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Why did the Kyushu Fleet suddenly stop moving forward? Thomas and the others were also surprised. They originally thought that the Kyushu Fleet would come directly to them!

"What does Jiuzhou mean by this?"

"I don't know!"

The subordinates beside Thomas whispered.

Although they did not know Kyushu's intentions, they remained highly vigilant.

Because of the distance of four nautical miles, although the Kyushu fleet cannot be seen with the naked eye, the missiles are enough to cover their fleet!
After the radar soldier finished his report, he switched the radar screen to the large display screen.

On the screen, in the radar line chart, the green marks representing the United States and Japan are at the bottom, while the red mark representing the Kyushu Fleet is at the top. The two armies are facing each other, and the situation is tense!
At this point, the red marker is stationary.

However, everyone present felt heavy-hearted, as if a barrel of explosives about to explode was placed between them and Kyushu!
……

At the same time, online forums were in an uproar.

Because the United States had previously announced that the Thomas fleet would arrive at the exercise location in an hour and begin military exercises, but an hour had passed and no announcement had been released.

Netizens flocked to the notice issued by the U.S. Navy Headquarters an hour ago that "it will soon arrive at the exercise location" and left messages asking questions.

US netizens: "How long do we have to wait? It's been more than an hour!"

US netizens: "Please make an announcement soon, stop hiding it, and let us be happy too!"

US netizens: “Haha!”

Japanese netizens: "We haven't received any notice from our side either!"

Japanese netizens: "I really want to see the fleet conducting military exercises outside the East China Sea soon!"

British netizens: "Are you really that excited?"

US netizens: "That's right, why are you so excited? Be patient, maybe there will be an announcement and exercise video soon!"

French netizens: "The United States and Japan are really proud of this time!"

Korean netizens: "Please don't bring up Japan, Japan is just a foil!"

Japanese netizens: "What are you so jealous of?"

Italian netizens: "Kyushu has not made any moves so far. It seems that they really don't intend to take care of this matter and allow the United States and Japan to conduct military exercises outside the sea!"

Canadian netizen: “Yeah, this is a bit surprising to me!”

US netizens: "This is nonsense, how can Kyushu manage it? Take the head?"

Japanese netizen: "I want to see the military exercise start soon!"

"..."

A flood of comments came in.

Some foreign netizens urged to quickly issue a notice to start the exercise; some netizens saw that Kyushu had not taken any action so far, so they thought that it did not dare to intervene in the matter because it was really afraid of the United States. There were more and more such comments, and the discussion became more and more intense!
When netizens in Jiuzhou saw these comments, they all frowned and felt uneasy. Does the country really not dare to take care of this matter?

……

The screen switches again.

A huge fleet is anchored on the sea one nautical mile away from the East China Sea.

A bright red flag is flying above each ship, fluttering in the sea breeze!
In the control room of the fleet's aircraft carrier, Captain Rear Admiral Ji Yuanzheng was staring at the large display screen in front of him with a serious expression.

Displayed on the screen were images of the U.S. and Japanese fleets taken by drones.

At this time, the US and Japanese fleets in the picture showed no signs of starting military exercises.

However, Ji Yuanzheng did not let down his guard.

He thought for a moment, then turned to the signalman and said, "Request a video call to headquarters!"

"Yes!"

The signalman responded quickly and began the operation.

Soon, the video communication screen appeared on the large display screen.

The person in the picture is Wu Jianping, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater Command, and behind him is the background of the combat command room.

"What's the situation?" Wu Jianping asked straight to the point with a frown on his face.

"There is currently no movement from the United States and Japan." Ji Yuanzheng reported.

"Well." Wu Jianping pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to monitor them. If they conduct military exercises, you will immediately order corresponding exercises. But if they launch an attack, you will also attack without hesitation!"

Wu Jianping's words were cold and firm, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination!

"Yes!" Ji Yuanzheng raised his hand and saluted, his expression firm and fearless!
Their mission is to conduct corresponding military exercises when the United States and Japan conduct military exercises, in order to declare to the world that they are not afraid of the United States, but are unwilling to start a war easily.

However, if the United States insists on provoking them, they will surely fight back bravely!

After the video call ended, Ji Yuanzheng turned his gaze to the display screen again, and the picture had switched back to the U.S. and Japanese fleets being monitored by drones.

In the picture, the two fleets remained silent.

In the drone control area nearby, three soldiers were sitting in front of the console, operating three drones and closely monitoring the situation of the US and Japanese fleets and their surrounding areas.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers operating the drone seemed to notice something unusual on the display screen.

"What is that?" he muttered to himself, controlling the drone to fly towards the abnormal area.

The display screen showed the sea conditions captured by the drone.

After a few seconds, the soldier's face showed an expression of incredible surprise.

"What the hell is this?" he was shocked.

But he didn't think much about it, and immediately stood up to report to Ji Yuanzheng: "Report! About two nautical miles behind the US and Japanese fleets, a wave about two meters high was found, and it is approaching the US and Japanese fleets at a very fast speed!"

Hearing this, Ji Yuanzheng frowned.

Other people in the control room also looked surprised and full of doubts.

It is normal for waves to appear on the sea. There will be waves when there is wind, and the sea breeze is quite strong today.

But it was incredible to say that there was a wave more than two meters high, approaching them at a very fast speed! How could there be such a wave? Could it be that the wave had become a spirit?
Although they were full of doubts in their hearts, they all knew that no one would joke at this time!

As a result, the atmosphere became tense and confusing for a moment!
Ji Yuanzheng ordered with a strange look on his face: "Switch the footage you captured to the large display screen!"

"Yes!"

The drone soldier responded quickly, sat back in his seat, and began to operate the keyboard quickly with his hands.

Soon, the picture on the large display screen was split into two.

On the left is the picture of the US and Japanese fleets, and on the right is the picture taken by the drone soldier operating the drone.

The picture showed a huge wave that was about two meters high and spread over several hundred meters, moving at an astonishing speed!

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart was shocked, as if they had witnessed some unbelievable sight!

Obviously, this is not a naturally formed wave!!
"What's going on with this wave? It's so weird!"

"It's indeed strange!"

…Several subordinates beside Ji Yuanzheng were talking in surprise.
