Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 517 Declaration of War and Night Raid (6K)

Asan Country!
The capital is Derry City. As the world's most populous country, India often publicizes its strong strength, which is also reflected in all aspects of their diplomacy.

For example, the fine imposed on the Jeco Group was unilaterally imposed by the Anti-Monopoly Commission of Argentina, and this move was also supported by a large number of parliamentarians.

Thanks to the active publicity in India, the people are overwhelmingly supportive of this. They believe that as the overlord of the surrounding waters, it is extremely arrogant for the Jeko Group to build the Kra Canal without authorization and bypass India to monopolize the profits.

This idea is popular not only among the lower classes in India, but even more so among the upper classes.

At this time, a cabinet meeting was being held in the Capitol in the capital of India.

The event was attended by Prime Minister Singh Ranchhodj, Home Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Defence Minister Vipul and Finance Minister Raman Singh.
The topic of the cabinet meeting held by this group of people was the issue of the Jeko Group and the Isthmus of Kra.

Singh was the first to speak. He patted the table and said, "Has the Antitrust Commission received any news from the Jeko Group?"

Interior Minister Rajiv shook his head and said, "No, the Jaco Group has not made any statement. There is only one day left before the ten-day response deadline we gave. It seems that the Jaco Group is unwilling to pay the $72 billion fine."

"Can't the Jake Group understand the situation? At this point, they still dare to provoke us?"

Finance Minister Raman was very surprised, as it was he who initially proposed the fine on the Jeko Group.

Singh nodded thoughtfully, looked at Defense Minister Vip, and said, "It seems that the Jeko Group has not yet recognized the situation. We need to do something to them so that they will understand our attitude. Vip, you should arrange a military exercise in the Andaman Sea as soon as possible to see if the other side will behave honestly."

"Okay, I'll let the Jeko Group see our powerful naval muscle."

Weipu agreed immediately, his eyes full of excitement.

If the Jeko Group does not pay the fine honestly, he will send warships to provoke the entrance of the Kra Isthmus Canal and let the Jeko Group know who is the leader of this sea area.

"This opportunity is very important to us. The expansion threat of the JECO Group is too blatant. If we don't give them a warning, they will trample on our heads."

Singh continued to speak, and the fine on the Jeco Group was also supported by Singh.

India's diplomacy has always been to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. Its tough diplomatic stance towards neighboring countries has led to many conflicts with small countries around India, and some of them are even manipulated by India.

For distant countries, India will actively make friends with them, engage in economic cooperation, and purchase arms from other countries.

The weapons of India have also become of international brands, and weapons from almost all over the world can be found in India.

After the rise of the Jeko Group, the two sides already had territorial borders. Zen Kingdom shared land borders with Asan Kingdom in the west, and on the sea, the two sides faced each other across the Bay of Benga.

India will not have a good attitude towards China as its neighbor. As the Jeko Group continues to expand, India's resentment towards the Jeko Group is growing.

When the Kra Canal was opened, this resentment reached its peak, leading to the move to blackmail the Jeko Group in the name of anti-monopoly.

"That's right, we must let the Jeko Group know our attitude."

"In this ocean, the JECO Group has to follow our lead and abide by the rules."

"The Jeko Group has some strength on land, but it is a century-old navy, and it is not something a novice like him can handle. If the other party does not know what is good for them, our two aircraft carriers will teach them how to do things."

There was a chorus of agreement at the scene, with confidence on everyone's face and ambition in their eyes.

Not only are the middle and lower classes in India blindly confident, but the upper classes are the same as well. This confidence is passed down from the upper classes.

Because every time the top leaders of India speak, they always say that India has caught up with Britain and the United States, its scientific and technological strength has become world-class, and it is a superpower that is expected to become the second largest.

After such deception for a long time, the whole nation took it seriously.

Of course, India's military strength is indeed reasonable. The total strength of the army, navy and air force is 150 million. This military force has enabled India to always be committed to dominating South Asia, directly controlling the Indian Ocean, and influencing the entire Southeast Asia and the Arabian Sea.

However, India's defense industry base is too poor, and its so-called military strength is highly dependent on importing advanced weapons. It spends a lot of money every year to import and maintain weapons, and their so-called domestic weapons are full of problems.

The Air Force's domestically produced Tejas fighter jet has been under development for more than 40 years and still has many problems.

The Army's domestically produced Arjun main battle tank has been plagued by various problems during its development and commissioning, and even the Indian army itself dislikes it and does not want to use it.

The Navy's domestically-built Vikrant aircraft carrier has been in operation for 20 years, and has had more accidents than you can count on one hand.

Such a military is like a castle made of sand. It looks magnificent, but in fact, it will collapse easily with a slight push, exposing its true foundation.

Of course, India must have felt so good about itself before anyone broke it.

Just when everyone in the cabinet was full of ambition, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure came crawling in, panting and with a pale face, making people wonder if he would faint from running out of breath.

This man was the Foreign Minister of India. His sudden intrusion made a huge noise and everyone looked over.

The Foreign Minister did not even bother to catch his breath. He stretched out a trembling hand and handed over a piece of paper. He said in a hoarse voice: "Prime Minister Singh, just now, at 3:49 pm local time in our country, the office of the Jeko Group in India submitted a formal declaration of war to our country. The Jeko Group has declared war on us."

quiet!
Suddenly, you could hear a pin drop in the conference room, and a few seconds later, heavy gasps were heard.

Singh's pupils dilated, his face full of disbelief. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the moment he touched the declaration of war, he pulled it back as if he had been electrocuted.

"Read it to me."

Singh felt as if a heavy burden had been laid on his body, so heavy that he dared not even look at the declaration of war.

The Foreign Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuttered as he read out the contents of the declaration of war.

"-- As we all know, for more than a month, we have been troubled by the issue of the Kra Canal. We have been continuously and patiently trying to reach an agreement with neighboring countries on the principle of equal and indivisible security. In response, we have been constantly met with either despicable deception and lies, or attempted pressure and blackmail. At the same time, despite our protests and concerns, the hostility and targeting of the outside world towards us has never stopped, and even the military blades have been shown and moved continuously, approaching our borders, trying to hit us in the throat.
-
We have tried our best to mediate the situation by peaceful means, but nothing has worked. We have repeatedly expressed our friendship to the outside world and provided the closest cooperation when necessary. However, goodwill cannot be one-sided. There must be a response from the other side, and we can no longer stand idly by and watch what is happening. Any enemy who dares to covet the territory and interests of the Jacko Group will be met with a cruel blow like a winter from us.
-
Therefore, I, Su Jie, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces of the Jieke Group, hereby formally declare war on Argentina and announce to China and the world that all treaties, agreements, and contracts involving the relationship between the two parties are hereby abolished. This is hereby announced.

January 2029, 2. "

After all the speeches were read out, not only the Foreign Minister, but everyone in the conference room had their backs wet with sweat.

"Mad man, the mad man from the Jieke Group, Su Jie, this mad man."

Singh took the declaration of war tremblingly, and the expression on his face kept changing like a neon light.

He originally just wanted to blackmail the Jeko Group, but he never expected that the Jeko Group would directly declare war on their country, India. This was something he had never encountered before.

In the past, they blackmailed so many big companies, but those big companies either paid the fines honestly or withdrew from the Indian market in disgrace. No company has ever dared to go against them, let alone declare war directly.

"Can we stop the war now that we have withdrawn our demand for a fine?"

The finance minister's voice was no longer raised because he knew he had gotten out of hand.

The Jeko Group actually declared war so forcefully. This is not the outcome that India wants to see. Not to mention whether it can win, there will always be losses in war, not to mention that India has no intention of taking the lead for the United States.

"It's impossible. Others have officially declared war on us. If we back down now, how will the people of the country and the world view us?"

The Minister of the Interior yelled, his face livid.

"The only way now is to defeat the Jeko Group. Our navy is still stronger than their Jeko Group."

Singh took a deep breath and looked at the Defense Minister eagerly.

"Please rest assured, our Indian navy will definitely bring victory to the country. I will mobilize the army and go to war with the Jeko Group."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the Minister of Defense had no choice but to bite the bullet and pat his chest to make the promise.

Singh felt a little relieved. At least the navy was capable of fighting. The Jeko Group might not launch an attack on land. After all, they were a big country. The Jeko Group did not have such a good appetite, and they had a population of more than one billion and did not lack manpower.

At sea, India has the upper hand, so the ones that should be afraid are the Jeko Group.

"Everyone, we must fight back against the provocation of the Jeko Group. Bring me some pen and paper. I will also draft a declaration of war against the Jeko Group."

"Yes! India will win."

Everyone saw Singh's gradually revealed confidence, and their morale was slowly boosted.

………………

February 2029, 2.

The Jeko Group suddenly declared war on India. On the same day, India also declared war on the Jeko Group, and the two sides were officially in a state of war.

This sudden news shocked the entire international community. Even those who believed that the Djeko Group would retaliate only thought that the Djeko Group would send warships to escort the Kra Canal rather than directly declare war.

But no matter how much the outside world is in an uproar, the war between the Jeko Group and the country of India has inevitably begun.

It’s 27:4 am on the 20th, late at night!

While India was still actively mobilizing its troops, two huge warships had already cruised to the waters near the Andaman Islands, beneath the deep, dark sea surface.

These are two Devourer-class deep-diving cruisers, named Irrawaddy and Salween respectively.

The naming convention of the Devourer-class deep-diving cruisers is to name them after the rivers in Indochina. For example, the names of these two Devourer-class deep-diving cruisers come from the Irrawaddy River and the Salween River, two rivers with abundant water.

Late at night, the sea was rough and waves were rolling, while beneath the water, two cruisers carrying out military missions were quietly lurking.

Captain Tufengpu of the Irrawaddy cruiser was standing in the command room, staring at the scanning screen fed back by the biological radar in front of him. He compared it with the overhead reconnaissance map taken by the satellite and confirmed the correctness of the route and position.

"Enter the enemy ship's position parameters!"

"Turn on the anti-ship missile autonomous identification radar system!"

"Surface to the sea surface and prepare for launch!"

"Contact the Salween and conduct the attack at the agreed time."

Orders were passed down from the command room one by one, and the cruiser immediately became busy. Some people were debugging and checking the status of the missiles to ensure a smooth launch process.

Some people were staring at the sonar display screen and radar screen, paying close attention to subtle changes in the outside world to avoid being exposed prematurely during the warship's ascent.

There were also genetic warriors who controlled the eight tentacles of the Irrawaddy cruiser, slowly paddling through the water and floating towards the surface.

Under the silent sea in the middle of the night, a huge spindle-shaped monster leaped out of the sea like a whale, and tons of sea water were pushed away from both sides.

The Irrawaddy cruiser emerged from beneath the sea. With a huge displacement of more than 4 tons, it was like a hill floating on the sea. Its eight tentacles twisted and swayed underwater, which was a spectacular sight.

However, the Irrawaddy cruiser was not fully exposed, but half-submerged in the sea, with only the upper layer exposed on the sea surface, reducing the risk of being discovered and exposed.

Click!

Click!

Click!

After surfacing to the sea surface, the covers of the vertical launch systems on the Irrawaddy cruiser opened one by one.

Accompanied by a flash of fire, one anti-ship missile after another ignited and was fired from the warship.

There are two types of this anti-ship missile, one is called Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missile, and the other is called Exocet subsonic anti-ship missile.

The former is fast, difficult to defend, and expensive, while the latter is slow, easy to defend, and cheap.

Among them, the Swordfish supersonic anti-ship missile is a new development of the Jeko Group. It utilizes a lot of Kunpeng rocket-related technologies and mixes in spiritual materials. It can easily reach several times the speed of sound.

The Exocet anti-ship missile has existed for a long time. In the past, it was launched by the Magic Bird fighter. When fighting the Siamese Navy, this anti-ship missile was used to sink the Siamese Navy's aircraft carrier. Now it is easy to improve it into a ship-launched model.

Amid flames, one anti-ship missile after another began to rush towards the target. Most of them were subsonic Exocet anti-ship missiles, and a small number were Swordfish supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Hundreds of missiles were fired, which took several minutes.

After completing the launch mission, the Irrawaddy cruiser closed the launch silo covers one by one, twisted its eight tentacles, and quickly dived towards the water surface.

At the same time, more than 1 kilometers away, at the Andaman Sea and Air Joint Military Base, there is a military port and a military airport. There are four large piers and docks in the military port.

At the uppermost pier, there are a total of six Kola-class frigates weighing more than 1000 tons moored on both sides.

On the second pier, there are two warships docked side by side, they are the destroyer Bombay and the destroyer Mansol. Both destroyers are of the Derry class with a displacement of about 6700 tons.

The third pier has three surfaced submarines, namely Kaje, Kari and Vilan, all of which are 2000-ton submarines.

At the fourth pier, there are two huge shadows, one of which is the Jordi supply ship with a displacement of 36000 tons.

The other one is one of the prides of India, the INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier, which was originally a Kiev-class aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy. It was later sold to India and served in the Indian Navy in 2013.

This aircraft carrier has a displacement of 45400 tons, a length of 283 meters, a full width of 51 meters, and can carry 24 MiG-29K fighters and 6 helicopters. It is one of the two aircraft carriers of India.

At this time, at the entrance of the naval port, a dredger that was dredging the river was listlessly working.

"Boss, I'm going to turn on the water."

Pammy greeted the captain, walked to the side of the boat, unzipped her pants and started draining the water, humming a little tune.

As an ordinary Indian, he is also a member of the navy, but he belongs to the engineering branch. This time he was transferred here to serve specifically on the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier.

The Vikramaditya aircraft carrier's usual home port is not here. This time it came here specifically to "intimidate" the Jeko Group and force them to compromise on the issue of the Kra Canal. It was deliberately deployed here.

However, the water depth of the naval port in the Andaman Islands is just enough for the entry and exit of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier. In order to prevent accidents, they need dredgers to deepen the river.

Boom! Whoosh!

Suddenly, Pammi, who was running the water, heard a strange sound and looked over curiously.

This glance seemed to take eternity, and he saw in the night, long cylindrical sticks whizzing past him not far away at an altitude of several meters above the sea.

The thick cylindrical body, the semicircular head, and the flames from the tail of the solid rocket engine are so eye-catching and so terrifying.

From the shape, even an ignorant person can tell that this is a missile, or an anti-ship missile that flies over the sea to avoid radar capture.

Pammy's mouth slowly opened, his whole body shivered, and he didn't even notice that water was spilling on his pants. He stared blankly at the missiles flying by.

After a long while, he suddenly reacted and shouted in fear: "Guide, guide, guide, missile, there is a missile!"

Like crazy, Pam wanted to find the captain to sound the alarm, but at this time, the shrill air defense alarm sounded throughout the entire naval port.

Countless Indian naval soldiers were awakened from their sleep. Some got up from the warships, some ran out from the dock, and many of them still looked confused.

"What happened? Why are you sounding the alarm in the middle of the night? Can't we sleep?"

"That bastard pressed the alarm randomly, he must be made to clean the toilet for a month."

"I'm so sleepy, why don't you turn off the alarm? How can I sleep with such noise?"

These Indian soldiers who had just woken up did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. India had enjoyed peace for a long time and had not been on the battlefield for a long time.

If the army still has some battles to fight, then the navy has been idle for many years, and these naval soldiers have long forgotten what the word "vigilance" means.

But just when they were still confused, the Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missile that arrived first had already arrived and entered the target area. The seeker automatically started searching and began to capture the target in the parameter settings.

The INS Vikramaditya, the largest target in the naval port and the easiest to be detected by radar, became the first victim when a Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missile hit the waterline of the aircraft carrier.

The blunt high-hardness steel of the armor-piercing warhead rubbed violently against the aircraft carrier's armor. Under the huge potential energy brought by several times the speed of sound, the blunt steel in front of the warhead tore through the hull and plunged into the interior of the aircraft carrier.

In the central kitchen of the INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier, dozens of chefs who were busy preparing breakfast for the aircraft carrier's crew heard a loud bang.

The thick steel plate on the top made a sharp sound of twisting and tearing, and then a white cylindrical missile was stuck there, with the warhead still emitting flashing red light.

The chefs in the kitchen looked up and saw the steaming anti-ship missiles. Their legs became weak and their bodies trembled. Some were so scared that they even peed their pants.

"run"

By the time one of the chefs came to his senses, just as he had uttered a word, the delayed fuse of the Swordfish anti-ship missile exploded.

Boom!

A horrific explosion occurred. The Swordfish anti-ship missile is 10 meters long and weighs 8 tons, of which the semi-armor-piercing warhead weighs 900 kilograms.

When the 900-kilogram warhead exploded, the power was like putting a firecracker in a water bottle, and the water spurted out of the bottle mouth.

The entire Vikramaditya aircraft carrier's midshipman arched high, and dazzling flames and steel fragments gushed out from the midshipman. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion caused serious damage to the hull structure, which was pierced below the waterline, and a large amount of seawater rushed in frantically.

The chefs and soldiers who were within the blast range were completely destroyed in the explosion, their deaths were horrific.

In the violent explosion, the soldiers who were resting on the aircraft carrier fell to the ground and their heads were broken and bleeding.

Because the detonation point was in the front and middle part of the aircraft carrier, the powerful impact force directly penetrated and tore the steel deck. The carrier-based aircraft neatly placed on the deck of the aircraft carrier were also destroyed in the violent explosion, and many of them were overturned into the sea by the shock wave.

From afar, the originally majestic Vikramaditya aircraft carrier had a huge gap with a diameter of more than ten meters on its deck, and flames were pouring out of the gap. There was also a hole on the right side of the aircraft carrier, and seawater continued to pour into the hull.

It was not until then, after hearing the explosion and the dazzling flames, that the Indian navy in the naval port finally realized that they were under enemy attack.

But it was too late when they realized it, because the Irrawaddy cruiser launched the missile from dozens of kilometers away, the distance was too close.

Although Afghanistan has also deployed an anti-missile system near its military port, it takes time for the early warning radar to detect the missile, and then transmit the data to the fire control radar. The fire control radar is turned on to illuminate the incoming missile and guide its own air defense missiles to intercept it.

This process takes time, not to mention that anti-ship missiles fly sea-skimming, which greatly reduces the chance of being captured by radar.

The missiles were launched from dozens of kilometers away, but the distance was too close, giving India's anti-missile system no time to defend. One after another, the anti-ship missiles broke into the military port like powerful harpoons, autonomously searching for and capturing targets, and dived towards the warships, capturing these huge steel fish weighing thousands of tons.
