Chapter 62

Behind them, the Wildcat pilot also noticed the massive object above the two figures.

His mouth gaped open briefly, then with almost no hesitation, he immediately reported it via the communication system.

"Flying object detected, invading flying object detected...!"

At this moment, within the Pentagon's monitoring system.

Every radar system across the entire Ugly Nation seemed to have voluntarily gone silent, offering no alerts whatsoever.

Had the F-22 pilots not been reporting continuously, both the Pentagon and every base in the Ugly Nation would have been like blind men, completely unable to detect any anomaly.

"Good God, has the Dragon Nation already developed stealth technology more advanced than ours?"

Air Force Major General Cross said in astonishment, then turned his gaze to his command system.

"Still unable to detect the target on the radar systems?"

"Apologies, General!"

The military personnel monitoring the Ugly Nation's radar systems replied with regret.

At the very least, he had detected no trace of the intruder across any of the Ugly Nation's radar networks.

He naturally understood what this meant: the Dragon Nation's military, possessing advanced stealth capabilities, had completely rendered the Ugly Nation's radar air defense systems obsolete.

Unless the Ugly Nation could produce a more advanced radar system within a single day.

Then the Ugly Nation's airspace would be fully open to the Dragon Nation, allowing them to penetrate the capital, Washington, as if entering an uninhabited realm.

"How is this possible!" Air Force Major General Cross could not fathom the blow this news would deal to the Ugly Nation's military once reported upward.

It would also severely shake the Ugly Nation's confidence as the world's foremost military power.

(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and review votes; your support is the author's motivation!) Done.

"You have invaded U.S. airspace. Land immediately! Land immediately! I repeat, land immediately, or we will shoot you down!"

The F-22 pilot, callsign Wildcat, attempted to access the intruder's communication channel to issue the warning.

However, after waiting for a long time, he received no response from the other party.

Instead, soon afterward in the sky, numerous cargo containers began raining down like dumplings.

Clearly, these were the weapons ordered by the U.S. military.

Their total value was five million dollars.

Yet, facing this situation, no one within the entire U.S. military felt any joy.

Even the busy Secretary of Defense received the news and hurriedly made his way to the Pentagon.

The fact that Long Country's advanced air force could bypass the U.S. air defense radar systems...

...and directly enter U.S. mainland territory constituted an extremely significant incident.

Since World War II, no nation had ever invaded the U.S. mainland.

If not for the fact that Long Country refused to acknowledge the DWS weapons trading platform as belonging to them...

...this invasion incident would be tantamount to a provocation by Long Country against the U.S.

At this moment, President Xiao Ao in the White House had already been notified, and regardless of the final outcome...

...he was about to convene an emergency high-level meeting.

The purpose was to discuss the implications arising from this event.

Meanwhile, on the other side, due to the lack of any response...

...the F-22 pilots could only choose to fly escort alongside the colossal object, daring not to approach even slightly.

In fact, until now, the pilots of the two F-22s had still not seen the true form of this colossal object.

It resembled more a monstrous beast hidden within the clouds.

"Wildcat, Wildcat, I am preparing to move closer!"

The Vulture pilot said to his companion.

"OK, buddy, be careful!"

The Wildcat pilot replied.

Thus, the Vulture pilot maneuvered his aircraft toward the colossal object above.

However, the closer he got, the more unreal it felt.

Because from start to finish, he had never seen any massive aircraft resembling an aircraft carrier; the moment he approached...

...the entire F-22 fuselage passed through the cloud layer.

There was absolutely nothing inside!

"What?" The Vulture pilot could hardly believe it; he even doubted what his eyes were seeing.

Clearly, there had been a black shadow within the clouds, yet upon entering and even penetrating the cloud layer, nothing was found.

That was not all; after the two F-22s flew escort for a period...

...the black shadow vanished directly.

It seemed all the weapons had already been airdropped to the ground.

The other party had simply left just like that; from beginning to end, the two F-22 fighters had seen nothing but a huge black shadow.

"Oh, God, what exactly was that?"

The Vulture pilot murmured.

Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, the Secretary of Defense had just arrived late.

Upon seeing Major General Cross of the Air Force, he immediately asked:

"Speak up, General, what exactly is going on?"

"Apologies, Sir, I believe we need to reassess Long Country's military strength!"

As the renowned Eagle Card Major General Cross, he wielded considerable influence within the military.

Therefore, he reported all the details comprehensively to the Secretary of Defense.

Ultimately, the Secretary of Defense still had to report this to the President.

Upon hearing the report, the Secretary of Defense felt as though he were listening to a fairy tale.

Some secret transport aircraft from Long Country had bypassed all U.S. radars, entered the U.S. mainland...

...and after airdropping a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, vanished right under the noses of two F-22s.

From start to finish, the F-22 pilots had not seen what that Long Country aircraft looked like.

Wasn't the entire sequence of events, in the Secretary of Defense's mind, exactly like listening to a fairy tale?

Absurd! Bizarre!

It reeked of the incredible.

However, seeing Major General Cross and so many Pentagon staff members wearing such serious expressions...

...the Secretary of Defense knew these people would not deceive him.

"Could it be that Long Country has truly developed some secret weapon, and this airdrop was merely a show of strength directed at us?"

The Secretary of Defense pondered.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed; in recent years, Long Country's economy had soared...

...and in 2010, it surpassed Little Japan to become the world's second-largest economy.

Furthermore, after the completion of the refit of its first aircraft carrier...

...construction of its second domestically produced carrier began this September.

All of this indicated that Long Country's military strength was no longer what it used to be.

Compared to the senile Mao Xiong, the Eastern Dragon of Longguo has developed an aircraft capable of ignoring Chouguo's air defense systems,

and while it still sounds absurd, it is by no means impossible.

Facing recent accusations from Western nations led by Chouguo regarding Longguo's support for the DWS weapons trading platform,

it is understandable that Longguo would now choose to flex its muscles.

This was a response.

However, for some reason, the Minister of Defense still felt something strange about the matter.

Soon, personnel related to the incident submitted their reports.

At the same time, scientists analyzed the F-22 Raptor footage frame by frame.

In a subsequent closed-door meeting at the White House,

President Xiao Ao, the Minister of Defense, and numerous generals engaged in fierce discussions lasting two hours.
