Chapter 275

"Oh God, what do we do?" The Ugly Army stationed in the Rod Country was also terrified.

They had long consulted the locals, but the homeland itself was in chaos, with no idea what to do.

Because given the opponent's strength, let alone the fact that most of the Ugly Country's forces are currently in Syria,

even if they weren't, there was absolutely no possibility of them stopping it.

Moreover, for the sake of this troublemaking and arrogant Rod Country, were they supposed to deploy their entire naval force to fight a decisive battle?

Do you think the Rod Country is worth that?

Obviously not!

Therefore, it didn't take long before all the stationed soldiers at the Ugly Country's bases within the Rod Country departed.

Yes! Not a single person remained.

Because the Pentagon knew that once the DWS Platform commenced combat, these bases with clear coordinates on the map would immediately become targets in the first wave of strikes.

If they put themselves in the other's shoes, the Ugly Army would definitely do the same.

So for the Ugly Army, if they didn't want to suffer damage, they had to leave the bases immediately.

As for weapons and equipment, those were unimportant to the Ugly Army.

Furthermore, even if they wanted to take these weapons with them, it would likely be too late.

At this moment, the Rod Country government finally thought of the Dragon Country,

frantically calling the Dragon Country, hoping they could halt the attack on the Rod Country.

However, the Dragon Country still responded with diplomatic language:

"Anything done by the DWS Platform has no relation whatsoever to the Dragon Country. If your country is under attack,

you might reflect on whether your nation has recently provoked the opponent.

Of course, it has always been the Dragon Country's tradition to hope that both sides of a conflict sit down at the negotiating table.

We will mediate this matter in the future and strive to achieve peace between both sides as soon as possible!"

Well done, the Dragon directly threw in a "future."

This left the Rod Country feeling chilled to the bone; in other words, the Dragon Country simply didn't care about this matter anymore.

Everything would have to wait until the dust settled.

But by the time that actually happened, how great would the Rod Country's losses be?

Thus, the Rod Country began promising various conditions to the Dragon Country, hoping they could stop the DWS's actions.

However, watching the anxious Rod Country, the Dragon Country leaders thought to themselves:

"If you knew it would come to this, what were you doing earlier?"

Yet, faced with the Rod Country's various promises, the Dragon Country was also headache-inducing,

because they couldn't stop the other party.

Psychologically, the Dragon Country did not wish for war to break out in its vicinity,

but since the DWS Platform did not belong to the Dragon Country, they had no authority over it.

Attempts to contact the other party now only received automated replies from the platform.

The liaison officers were simply not present.

Under such circumstances, how could the Dragon Country possibly stop it?

However, just as the Rod Country was weeping and wailing,

the live broadcast showed a new development.

At this moment, a large number of F-35 fighter jets began taking off,

and soon, at least two hundred aircraft had launched from the five aircraft carriers.

These jets immediately sped toward the northwest, their target pointing directly at the Rod Country.

Seeing this scene, the Rod Country government and its people were terrified to the extreme.

At this moment, the Rod Country was already in complete chaos.

Huge air raid sirens blared in the capital; this was the first time since the South Rod War

that air raid alarm sounds had rung out in the capital.

Besides that, vehicles on every street in the capital were jammed tight,

with people shouting insults and curses at one another.

Faced with the threat to their lives, these men and women had lost all decency.

Meanwhile, more people began searching for the nearest air raid shelters.

Indeed, to cope with potential attacks from the South Rod, there were quite a few air raid shelters in the capital.

However, as soon as one entered, they would find them already packed with people.

Everyone wore expressions of fear, staring intently at their phones, watching the live broadcast,

hoping to learn about developments outside.

To be honest, only now did they feel immense regret.

If they had known things would develop this way,

how could they possibly have supported those troublemaking coast guards in shooting the fishermen?

Heroes! Hah, they simply didn't exist.

If the capital suffered severe losses because of this matter, then those coast guards were criminals.

Being hanged would not be too much for them.

Of course, these people were also blaming the Dragon Country in their hearts.

Was all this really necessary over such a small matter?

Didn't they say Dragon Nation loves peace?

Even if you truly wanted those coast guard vessels, we could have sat down at a table and negotiated properly,

handing those coast guard vessels over to you would not have been impossible.

But now, you actually dispatch such a terrifying fleet.

If you had this strength, why didn't you say so earlier!

However, there would be absolutely no chance for these people to regret their actions.

On the live broadcast, a Type 55B destroyer launched missile after missile from its vertical launch system, soaring into the sky.

The government and populace of Stick Nation knew that the scene they most dreaded had arrived.

Chapter 206: Omnidirectional Strike! Paralyzing Stick Nation!

This time, the Type 55B destroyers utilized the "Yingji"-18A land-attack missiles.

These missiles boast a maximum range of 600 kilometers, employing a subsonic sea-skimming flight mode during the mid-course phase, while reaching speeds of Mach 3.5 during the terminal attack phase; possessing considerable stealth strike capabilities and terminal penetration abilities, they can easily and effectively penetrate existing "Aegis" defense systems.

Furthermore, the Type 055 large destroyer possesses 112 vertical launch cells, divisible into two sizes: 9 meters and 7 meters.

Among these, the 9-meter vertical launch cells can accommodate large missiles such as anti-ship missiles, land-attack cruise missiles, and anti-ballistic missiles; there are 32 of these 9-meter cells, distributed in the bow section of the ship.

The remaining 90 vertical launch cells are of the 7-meter size. In other words, when necessary, a Type 055 large destroyer can carry up to 32 "Yingji"-18A land-attack cruise missiles.

With a total of fifteen Type 55 destroyers, hundreds of missiles were fired off in an instant.

Viewed from a distance, trails of white smoke soared into the sky, then rushed rapidly toward the direction of Stick Nation.

The entire sky resembled countless fine threads spreading out; it was truly spectacular.

Yet this spectacle was utterly terrifying for the Stick Nation people directly involved.

After all, these missiles were being fired at them.

Many Stick Nation citizens who had never experienced war turned extremely pale.

Previously, they had only witnessed war on the internet, allowing them to act as keyboard warriors.

They could say whatever they wanted.

But now, facing war imminently, many Stick Nation citizens found their legs trembling uncontrollably.

They all hoped those missiles would not fall upon themselves or their homes.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Stick Nation, cars stuck in traffic were unable to move forward.

When these drivers saw the live broadcast, they immediately erupted in national curses.

"Xi-bal!"

Then, abandoning their vehicles, they yanked open their car doors and fled frantically for their lives.
