Chapter 990: The Building is About to Collapse
"Dear President, I can guarantee that we have no biological laboratory in San Ago." The military commander-in-chief was stunned by the question. He had no idea what the president was thinking so crazy late at night and asked such a strange question.
But he still pulled at the pajamas his lover had put on him and answered truthfully.
"But can you explain why those wealthy families in San Argo retreated in the middle of the night wearing protective clothing, and they were military-grade! If there was no biological laboratory leak, would they have to wear such things?"
Zhiye roared.
"Wait a minute, President, let me check."
The military commander-in-chief hurriedly picked up the intercom and ordered to find out what had happened to San Agu.
The calls kept coming in, all the way to the Chief of the Navy and the Speaker of San Ago.
The Chief of the Navy of San Ago was on vacation on a private island thousands of miles away and had no idea what was going on. After receiving the call, he began to call each captain one by one.
As a result, the captains were either drunk in the bars on shore or killed in the attack. No one answered the phone and no one knew what was going on.
The Speaker who knew the truth did not dare to report it. During his tenure, the naval port was attacked, most of the ships sank, and there was a nuclear leak on an aircraft carrier. If this were to be made public, his tenure as Speaker would be over and he would have no choice but to resign.
So he also spoke vaguely, saying that he knew nothing and was rushing to San Giovanni to find out the truth.
After hanging up the phone, the Speaker urged the driver: "Hurry up, drive faster. Try to reach the next state before dawn."
Zhiye walked around the office, calling the military commander-in-chief from time to time to urge him.
The military commander-in-chief was so pressed that he had no choice but to send a reconnaissance plane to find out what was going on .
When the reconnaissance plane sent back the photos, the entire headquarters was shocked. They knew that the San Ago naval base had been attacked, the ships had suffered heavy losses, and even the aircraft carrier on the slipway had been hit, and a nuclear leak had occurred...
This is a serious matter.
The military commander-in-chief did not dare to delay and hurriedly drove to the president's office.
"Dear President, I'm sorry, I have bad news to tell you. Four hours ago, our San Ago naval base was attacked. The fleet suffered heavy losses, and even the aircraft carrier was attacked. We only know that a nuclear leak occurred, but we don't know the specific situation..."
The military commander-in-chief said hesitantly.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Zhiye angrily slammed the table and asked, "Such important news, why did you send it to me only now? I only found out by browsing the news online! I am a president, but I actually need to browse the news to know what happened in the country. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Tell me, what on earth do I keep a bunch of rubbish like you for? Is it a waste of money?"
Zhiye angrily slammed the table and shouted.
"I'm sorry," the military commander-in-chief lowered his head, "We didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to launch a surprise attack on our great Lighthouse Nation fleet. Please rest assured that we still have a military port and a fleet in the West Sea. Even if we lose a quarter of our ships, we are still the most powerful naval force on the planet. We are confident that we will destroy any enemy who dares to launch a surprise attack on us and crush them into pieces!"
The military commander-in-chief patted his chest and assured.
"I don't want your guarantee, I just need time, specific time. Tell me when I can kill those invading enemies." Zhiye asked angrily.
"Well...I need to make a comprehensive judgment with my staff before I can give you a conclusion," said the military commander-in-chief.
At this moment, the secretary hurried in and handed a report to Zhiye: "President, urgent report."
Zhiye picked up the report and flipped through it. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. Finally, it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
She slammed the report in front of the military commander-in-chief and said in a cold voice: "Please show me this report carefully. This is the fleet you mentioned."
The military commander-in-chief hurriedly picked up the report that had fallen to the ground.
After glancing at the title above, his expression suddenly turned very ugly.
It turned out that the military port of Shoggoth, not far from San Ago, was also attacked by unidentified personnel. The fleet suffered heavy losses. A nuclear submarine exploded, and the nuclear weapons inside triggered a chain explosion. The entire Shoggoth was razed to the ground...
The report fell silently to the ground.
The military commander-in-chief's eyes were blank.
Shoggoth is the core of the Lighthouse Nation Navy and the most important shipyard. When the accident happened, four aircraft carriers were upgraded, docked, and replenished with supplies here.
It is also the home port of nuclear submarines, and there are ballistic missile and carrier-based aircraft research and development companies on the shore.
The destruction of the entire Shoggoth port meant that the Lighthouse Nation lost more than half of its aircraft carriers and more than two-thirds of its ships.
The destruction of the ballistic missile and carrier-based aircraft research companies directly broke the backbone of the Lighthouse Nation Navy.
Although the Lighthouse Country still has four aircraft carriers and some auxiliary warships left, which can barely support four aircraft carrier battle groups, according to normal usage specifications, at most only two aircraft carriers can be kept in serviceable condition, which is almost the minimum limit for going to war.
Four aircraft carrier battle groups may not sound like a small number, but considering the Beacon Country's military bases all over the world, it is still too stretched. Even if all four aircraft carrier battle groups are forcibly deployed in the mission area, there will be gaps in some areas.
How can a military strategic posture that dominates the world be supported by just a few aircraft carrier battle groups?
Without a powerful aircraft carrier battle group, how can we deter and suppress those younger brothers?
How to maintain the oil-dollar system?
How can we use finance to reap the benefits of the whole world?
How can we use high salaries to attract talents from all over the world?
It's a chain of dominoes.
The break of any link will lead to the collapse of the whole system.
The worst thing was that the ballistic missile research and development company and the carrier-based aircraft research and development company were all destroyed.
These are all private companies. In order to protect business secrets, the drawings are stored in the company's servers.
The destruction of the company means that these products will lose their follow-up products, which means that the Lighthouse Country will have to face the embarrassing situation of being unable to repair these weapons once they malfunction.
If you want to produce alternative products, don’t even think about it for three to five years.
This is still a sample. It will take another three to five years before it can be put into actual use.
After all this time, the current carrier-based aircraft and missiles of the Lighthouse Country’s navy would have been scrapped long ago. At that time, can the Lighthouse Country still maintain its military system that dominates the world?
The military commander-in-chief saw four chilling words: The building is about to collapse.
