The hydrogen bomb explosion in the high seas east of Papua Island shocked the entire planet.

The world was in an uproar, and countless media outlets once again turned their attention to the Indian battlefield.

Since the Dragon Gang started this war, one shocking event after another has occurred.

How long has it been since the USS Nimitz was sunk? And the US has already retaliated?

This time, the world's leading military power didn't even bother with pretense and went straight for the big move!

To deal with a ghostly underwater fleet that was giving the US Navy a major headache, they actually used two hydrogen bombs!!

According to data monitored by some major countries, the total yield of this explosion exceeded 40 million tons.

When the hydrogen bomb exploded, neighboring Australia and Southeast Asian countries felt a significant tremor.

Many countries are paying close attention to this matter.

China and the Northern Bear strongly protest against the dangerous actions of the United States.

But the United States turned a deaf ear, and its explanation to the outside world was:

The primary purpose of detonating the hydrogen bomb was to test the nuclear resistance capabilities of the USS Lincoln and USS Stennis carrier strike groups...

Few people would believe such a flimsy excuse.

Because a satellite from a certain country captured the footage at that time.

Before the nuclear explosion, the USS Lelda and USS Roselle, two frigates from the United States, were sunk by a mysterious force in this area.

Considering the recent tensions between it and the Dragon Gang, the truth seems not so hard to guess.

Mars collides with Earth.

One is the world's only superpower, unparalleled globally in both economy and military strength.

The other one is a gang that has risen to prominence in less than two years, yet it is already the largest gang on the entire planet.

Normally speaking, where does a gangster like you get the confidence to challenge the world's number one?

But that's exactly what the Dragon Gang did!

Surprisingly, despite the seemingly disparate strengths of the two sides, they fought a close and evenly matched battle.

For a period of time at the beginning, the Dragon Gang even had a significant advantage.

Destroy the base, bomb the aircraft carrier...

With its powerful foundation and stealth skills, the Dragon Gang army has demonstrated extraordinary combat power.

In particular, the terrifying underwater ghost fleet struck fear into the hearts of the American navy.

In that battle, they infiltrated the carrier strike group to launch a surprise attack on the Nimitz, sinking it in one fell swoop and escaping unscathed.

......

Such a brilliant record once gave many outsiders the illusion that:

"The mighty American navy is nothing special."

"So even a small gang can challenge a superpower!"

Until the United States launched two high-yield hydrogen bombs from two strategic nuclear submarines...

The world's gaze has finally become clear again:

It turns out that it's not that superpowers are useless, it's just that they haven't really put in the effort.

Even if a nuclear-armed state re-emerges, it still has one last trump card to save its life!

Which of the permanent members of the Security Council is an easy target?

Of course, this excludes the two Changs who were beaten down by the Dragon Gang.

......

....................................

December 24, 1997, Christmas Eve.

On this day, many places celebrate the Gregorian New Year.

After the two hydrogen bombs were detonated, the fighting on Papua Island entered a brief period of calm.

From the outside perspective, the Dragon Gang seems to have been terrified by nuclear weapons.

After all, no matter how powerful an underground force is, it is difficult to challenge a nuclear-armed superpower.

This year's New Year's atmosphere across the United States was a mix of lively and quiet.

After such turbulent times, few people can truly remain completely unconcerned.

As long as the Dragon Gang remains, the White House's weekends and holidays will never return to normal.

Even on such a joyous occasion, Clington was called back by an urgent phone call.

Upon entering the presidential secret service room, several of the nation's top executives were already waiting inside.

"Gentlemen, enough of the small talk, let's immediately report on the battle situation... General Daly, please begin!"

As soon as Clington entered the special affairs room, he spoke in a flurry of activity.

Judging from the expressions of the people present, he knew the urgency of the matter.

Daly had already explained the general situation to him over the phone.

Now we will report on the detailed battle situation and discuss countermeasures.

"Yes, Mr. President!"

Daly stood up, walked to the electronic screen, and opened a satellite map of Indonesia and its surrounding waters:

"Forty-five minutes ago, the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, which was sailing in the No. 7 sea area 350 kilometers south of Java, was suddenly attacked by a hidden minefield while it was sailing normally."

"Afterwards, it was attacked again by more than 70 short-range anti-ship missiles fired from 16 nautical miles northeast of the aircraft carrier..."

"The vast majority of the anti-ship missiles were successfully intercepted, with only two hitting the aft deck of the USS Carl Vinson. The damaged areas are being repaired."

"A mine destroyed the starboard encrypted compartment of the destroyer USS Jerwellon, and also damaged one supply ship and two frigates to varying degrees..."

"Our initial suspicion is that the mines were laid and the short-range anti-ship missiles were launched by the Dragon Gang's stealth speedboat force!"

Before Daly could finish speaking, Navy Commander-in-Chief Nelson's face had already turned a deep purplish-red.

The US Navy has recently suffered far too many tragic setbacks.

Just a few days ago, the hydrogen bomb explosion had given us a much-needed boost, and before we could even have a peaceful Christmas, another unpleasant thing happened.
