00:00.
"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep..."
"Report: Radar has detected a missile launch 100 nautical miles ahead."
Upon hearing the alarm emitted by the radar, the personnel on duty on each warship immediately reported it.
The watch officer immediately sounded the alarm.
"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, ring ring ring."
All the officers and soldiers on the warships jumped off their beds immediately.
Then he put on his clothes and ran straight to his post.
Onboard the aircraft carrier USS Fujian, the watch officer sounded the alarm and immediately made a call to the captain's cabin.
"Captain, the destroyer Emily Berkeley has launched a Tomahawk cruise missile 150 nautical miles away."
Li Jun woke up after hearing the alarm bell in the room.
Immediately afterwards, I received a call from the watch officer.
After getting dressed, I went straight to the command room.
Yuan Yi, the political commissar, Liu Minhua, the director of the flight department, and other officers from various departments have all arrived at the scene.
"What's going on?" Li Jun asked after arriving at the command room.
"Captain, three minutes ago the radar detected a missile launch 150 nautical miles ahead."
"It's the Berkeley destroyer from America; they launched thirty Tomahawk cruise missiles toward the Maine area!"
After hearing what the watch officer said, Li Jun waved his hand and asked him to transfer the radar monitoring image to the large screen in the command room.
The Tomahawk cruise missile is a commonly used strike weapon in America's arsenal.
There are currently three types: land-based, ship-based, and ship-based anti-ship.
Currently, they are launching ship-launched cruise missiles, which are sea-to-land missiles with a range of 875 kilometers, a cruising altitude of 15-150 meters, a cruising speed of Mach 0.72, and are equipped with cluster warheads, carrying nearly 166 BLU-97B small-caliber bombs.
Yuan Yi pursed his lips as he listened to the watchman's words.
"That Emilia is ruthless."
"I wonder if the Sierra militant group can withstand their attack!"
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, everyone in the command cabin fell silent.
"It should be fine, after all, they've been in charge of Main for several years, and they also have the Persian Empire backing them!"
Li Jun stroked his chin thoughtfully and said.
That's true. Without the support of other countries, the Sierra Leonean armed group couldn't have controlled Main for so long.
Li Jun picked up the communicator directly.
"This is Commander Number One. All warships, please take note."
"Proceed to area 103 immediately."
"Always keep a close eye on the situation on the front lines!"
"receive."
"receive."
"receive."
The captains of each ship immediately began to report.
More than forty ships set off simultaneously, heading towards the 103 area, which was closest to the Emilia Carrier Strike Group.
Meanwhile, within Emily's carrier strike group.
Inside the command center aboard the USS Truman aircraft carrier.
Captain Darshan was staring at the Tomahawk cruise missiles on the radar screen.
"Target marked. Arriving over the target in ten seconds."
At this moment, the radar operator reported to Dashan.
Inside the headquarters of the Sena armed group in Meyen.
After Emily launched the missile, their radar also directly detected the current situation.
The leader of the Sena armed group, Aquin, stared at the missile trajectory on the radar screen.
"Has the interception system been activated?"
"Reporting to the leader, the weapon interception system has been activated."
However~~~~
"What?"
"However, the interception rate may not reach 100%."
Hearing this, Aquinin waved her hand: "It's alright, the crowd on the ground has already been evacuated."
"Their attacks won't do us much damage."
"Immediately launch the missile attack, and also have the drone swarm take off again."
"If they want to play, then we'll play with them!"
In the early hours of the morning, news of the Emily Caspian destroyer launching a missile was immediately relayed to intelligence agencies in various countries.
After all, this place is now the focus of attention for many countries around the world.
They also wanted to see how effective Emily's carrier strike group was, which hadn't been used in decades.
The time difference between Maine and Beijing is five hours.
This time period is midnight in McIn, which is 5 a.m. in Beijing.
After Emilia launched the missile, the intelligence department in the capital received a message from Maine.
Should this information be reported promptly?
At this moment, the personnel on duty in the intelligence department looked at the received message and inquired.
"No need, right?"
"This news isn't anything particularly important."
"Just tell him when the boss starts work."
"good."
··········
It was 7 p.m. at Emily's time.
Inside the president's office.
Plan, who was getting ready to go home, had just finished getting dressed.
Then he was cornered in his office by the Minister of Defense, the Vice Admiral of the Navy, and the head of intelligence.
Prun looked at the group and said, "You'd better have something to do. I promised my daughter I'd come home to be with her today!"
Upon hearing the president's words, the Minister of Defense spoke with a serious expression.
"Mr. President, our Trudeau carrier strike group has launched a counterattack against McIn."
"At 12:00 a.m. local time, a Berkeley destroyer launched 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles."
"The results of the battle have not yet been reported."
Upon hearing this, Prun put down his briefcase.
He plopped down in the office chair and looked at the group of them.
"What?"
"Why did it take so long to launch? Why hasn't there been any report?"
"Who made this decision? Why didn't I know?"
"Mr. President, have you forgotten that when the USS Trudeau was first attacked, it was you who gave the order to retaliate!"
Upon hearing the Minister of Defense's words, Trump slapped his forehead.
"I gave the order to retaliate immediately."
"Now tell me how much time has passed?"
"One month."
"A whole month has passed, and now that the situation has basically calmed down, you're telling me they're only now preparing to retaliate?"
"Is our communication system really that outdated?"
"Does it need to be delivered manually?"
Hearing Pran's furious words, none of the others spoke.
"Your Excellency, the USS Trudeau suffered different damage to its deck and stern during the previous attack."
"In order to prevent any problems with the USS Tru, they withdrew directly from the Red Sea area."
"The aircraft carrier deck has now been repaired, which is why they launched their counterattack at this time!"
The Defense Minister's response further displeased Trump.
"Was the aircraft carrier damaged? Were the destroyers and frigates also damaged?"
Were they all dead?
