Emilyka Pacific Fleet Command.
Commander Peter Hardway looked at the message he had just received and then at the people in the conference room.
"China has no intention of surrendering; we just received a message from the Ministry of National Defense."
"This time we must let them know that America is the number one military power."
"If they refuse to hand over the wreckage, then we must be prepared to go to war at any time."
"Once the order is given, prepare to attack immediately!"
Upon hearing Hardway's words, the officials in his command headquarters exchanged bewildered glances.
They looked at each other and then simultaneously looked at Hardway.
"Commander, China's development in recent years has been nothing short of rapid."
"There are now six carrier strike groups."
"Our aircraft carriers are currently in an awkward period of modernization and replacement."
"The combat capability of the Nimitz-class carriers is far inferior to that of China's latest nuclear-powered aircraft carriers."
"And it's going to be fighting outside their waters, if it really comes down to actual combat."
"Then we must be prepared to face their attacks."
"Me~~~~~"
The general who had stood up stopped speaking at this point.
Hardway looked at him.
“Go on, General Peter.”
“Yes, Commander,” Bit said after a moment’s hesitation.
"I'm not trying to downplay our situation, nor am I exaggerating China's achievements."
"If we look at our current fleet deployment in the Pacific..."
"Our chances of winning against China are only 10 percent."
"And that's after we've destroyed our entire Pacific Fleet!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Peter's words.
"Commander, General Bitt is right!"
"We currently have a fleet of just over a hundred ships in the Pacific, plus the ones that were just dispatched, totaling less than three hundred!"
"Faced with a powerful China, we have absolutely no chance of winning."
"The joint exercise fleet will not rashly join the battle between our two countries."
"Therefore, if war really breaks out this time, we must be prepared for the annihilation of our entire army."
"It's possible that we issued the order to fire, because their Dongfeng Express missiles arrived over our airspace in less than twenty minutes!"
Upon hearing this, Hadway's expression changed.
Then Hardway sighed and said.
"I know what you're all saying, but soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders!"
"Since the orders have been issued, all we can do is carry them out!"
"There's no need to be too pessimistic. The higher-ups are already communicating with various forces."
"In addition, aircraft carriers deployed in the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the homeland are providing us with support."
"I believe that the other carrier strike groups will arrive to provide support soon."
"Our main task now is to confront them and probe their strength!"
"If they weaken, we can continue to approach and test their limits!"
"Of course, if they resist fiercely, then we'll retreat and wait for reinforcements!"
"In short, until you have absolutely overwhelming strength, you better keep your troops under control."
"Also, inform the other members of the Joint Fleet not to approach the exercise area they have designated."
Upon hearing this, the captains of the various fleets in the command headquarters breathed a sigh of relief.
They've been doing these kinds of exercises, getting close to, and probing China for years.
It was quite easy to use, but it would be difficult to actually fight a war with China.
To be honest, none of the generals or captains in these fleets dared to be the first to fire.
Everyone knows that China has been developing smoothly in recent years and is not someone to be trifled with.
It's just that China has always preferred to make a fortune quietly and is not good at demonstrating its military power on the international stage.
But if someone really treats Dangdang like an easy target.
Then he wouldn't mind letting you see his true strength in defeating seventeen opponents one by one.

In the South China Sea.
The aircraft carriers of the two countries, Britain and France, are converging here.
Besides these two countries, their place also houses warships of all sizes from other nations.
At this moment, the captains of the aircraft carriers of the two countries, the United States and France, were on the phone.
“Hey, Carl William.”
"I feel like this commotion is a bit different!"
This is what Captain John Bull, the aircraft carrier, said to Carl William, who was building the French aircraft carrier.
"I felt it too."
"Emilia seems to be making some other move."
"They have just moved all their ships that were stationed in this area to the edge of the East China Sea."
"Isn't this supposed to be a joint exercise? Why are they heading to the edge of the East China Sea, near the border with the Taiping Army?"
"Is there something we don't know about this?"
Just as the two were communicating, their subordinates promptly delivered intelligence from their respective countries.
The two men were taken aback when they saw the intelligence report handed to them.
"I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen!!"
Carl William said to Buckvinson.
"I feel the same way."
“I have just received a telegram from home.”
"Emerica's other five carrier strike groups are rapidly assembling towards the Pacific Ocean."
"You received it too?" Carl William asked Buckvinson in surprise.
