Chapter 202

This was like an adult playing with a child.

That's right, in the eyes of the Ugly Nation people, dealing with Syria was just playing.

If they weren't mainly wanting to shrink their power and prepare to compete with the Dragon Nation in the Asia-Pacific,

with the Ugly Nation's military strength, how could they suffer losses in the Middle East one after another?

Well! Now a child had punched an adult to the ground.

How could this not make President Xiao Ao surprised, unbelievable, and unable to accept it?

After hearing about this, President Xiao Ao immediately convened a meeting of government and military high-level officials.

By the time the White House meeting room was packed with people,

President Xiao Ao looked at these military and government high-ranking officials, as well as the advisory group members.

He looked solemn and said in a tone of unprecedented severity:

"Gentlemen, can you tell me what's going on now? Why was our invincible aircraft carrier sunk? What exactly is going on in the Middle East?

And how much have we lost!?"

"Three six seven"

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at each other.

Most of them had also just heard about this incident.

So they were not qualified to speak.

At this time, a four-star Navy admiral said helplessly:

"Mr. President, Captain Howard has already reported to me.

The aircraft carrier fleet was attacked by surprise. In the evening, it was hit by many supersonic missiles flying at ultra-low altitude and sank.

As for which force in the Middle East did this, we are still investigating.

As for the losses, besides 1 Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, 1 Ticonderoga-class cruiser also sank, 2 Burke-class guided-missile destroyers were seriously damaged and probably cannot be saved, and the rest is 1 Perry-class frigate slightly damaged!"

Hearing this loss, everyone present gasped.

It turned out that not only the aircraft carrier, but other surface ships also suffered such great losses.

Calculating this way, if the aircraft carrier was added, then this attack,

the Ugly Nation lost a total of four surface ships.

This did not include the loss of those carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

"Personnel losses?" Xiao Ao said expressionlessly.

"According to current statistics, it can be confirmed that 103 were killed in action, 65 were seriously injured, and 281 were slightly injured..."

Said this four-star Navy general.

Hearing this, President Xiao Ao suddenly asked:

"General, can you tell me, is the Ugly Nation still a great country?"

The general was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly:

"Of course, sir!"

President Xiao Ao immediately stood up and said sternly:

"This incident is an incident no less than the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by the Little Sun Nation back then. I hereby announce,

no matter which force is involved in this matter, we will make them pay a heavy price..."

Hearing this, everyone present was startled.

But then they heard President Xiao Ao announce:

"I will sign a decree with the power of the 44th President of the Ugly Nation, declaring the country in a state of emergency.

In addition, regarding the aircraft carrier sinking incident, we will unite with allies to form a joint investigation team to understand the truth of this sneak attack..."

However, outside the White House,

many Ugly Nation media had already broadcast the news of the "aircraft carrier sinking" as a front-page headline event.

CNN, Fox TV, AMC, and other TV stations even brought in experts for emergency broadcasts.

Affected by this, the US stock market immediately plummeted.

The S&P and Nasdaq Industrial Index once triggered a circuit breaker.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had anticipated it in advance, and his overseas funds had basically been converted by the system into gold, oil, and other bulk futures before.

Instead, he made quite a bit of money because of this incident.

And the news of the aircraft carrier sinking was soon known to almost all the people of the Ugly Nation.

At first, most of them thought it was an April Fool's joke and didn't believe it at all.

Since when could the Ugly Nation's invincible aircraft carrier be sunk?

Not long ago, the Ugly Nation also launched a Ford-class aircraft carrier.

The TV said that the Ugly Nation's military power had further improved.

Although the Ugly Nation base in the Middle East was attacked not long ago,

ordinary people didn't feel anything at all.

As long as the Ugly Nation concentrated a very small amount of power, those evil enemies would inevitably be eliminated.

Sure enough, when the dual aircraft carrier formation sailed into the Red Sea,

the dictatorial Syria immediately suffered the iron fist of justice from the Ugly Nation.

As for whether it was a depleted uranium bomb or not, it wouldn't explode on them anyway, so they didn't care.

Most of them only believed in the propaganda of the government and the media,

that Syria was under dictatorial rule, and the people there were in deep water.

The Ugly Nation was fighting Syria as a liberator.

They were the side of justice.

Of course, there were also some rational factions and groups in the Ugly Nation.

They would protest against the government's use of depleted uranium bombs on Syrian civilians.

But such voices were too few.

Therefore, when the aircraft carrier was sunk in the Middle East, most of the Ugly Nation's people were angry.

For a time, many people shouted on the internet and in reality to go to war with the Middle East.

In this regard, although the doves in the government did not agree, they were worried that if they continued to go to war in the Middle East,

it would be easy to fall into the quagmire like Afghanistan and Iraq before.

The Ugly Nation had just withdrawn most of its military power from the Middle East, and its financial pressure had been eased. Now, if it intervened immediately,

besides continuing to maintain high military budgets, what else could it get?

However, the hawks within the government didn't care about this.

They believed that the Ugly Nation had been provoked, so they should fight back with the strongest fist.

Consequently, the two sides quarreled in Congress.

However, generally speaking, because of this aircraft carrier sinking incident, the hawks had the absolute upper hand.

Even President Xiao Ao, who had always disagreed with the war, had an attitude that leaned somewhat towards the hawks.

Of course, whether to go to war and who to go to war with,

all this required investigation before a decision could be made.

Therefore, the Ugly Nation immediately contacted traditional European allies regarding this matter.

Formed a joint investigation team led by the Ugly Nation, including John Bull, Gaul Chicken, Hans, and Asian allies Little Sun Nation and Stick Nation.

These investigation teams went to the incident sea area and conducted a detailed investigation.

However, the impact of this incident was of great significance.

Media from all countries had been reporting it all day for the past few days, as well as the subsequent impact.

Domestically, CCTV also specially formed an "Aircraft Carrier Sinking" studio,

reporting on the Ugly Nation aircraft carrier incident non-stop.

Famous military expert, Zhang Juzuo of the Strategic Deception Bureau, as a special guest, had been in the studio for the past few days.

Interacting with the audience 0.

"In my opinion, this aircraft carrier sinking by the Ugly Nation is a serious failure for the Ugly Nation in the Middle East, and it is also the beginning of the decline of the Ugly Nation's global hegemony.

It is also a manifestation of decline after reaching the peak. Since World War II, the Ugly Nation has been rampant in the world with overwhelming military power.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the bipolar turned into a unipolar, and the Ugly Nation's power was unprecedentedly strong." ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
