Seeing the shocked look on Mike Roy's face, his adjutant Henry also wanted to say that this was not true.
However, the news brought back by the captain of the submarine sent out by the fleet for reconnaissance was indeed true.
Longxia Country really has an aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier formation sent out to participate in the exercise this time is full. This is news enough to shock the whole world.
Even though the intelligence agencies of Western countries have never relaxed their surveillance on Longxia Country, they have not been able to steal any information about the aircraft carrier, which shows how high the level of confidentiality is in Longxia Country.
After taking a long time to calm down, McIlroy saw that Henry's expression did not change at all, and finally believed the truth of the matter.
"thump!"
He just sat down on the chair with a terribly gloomy face, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
He must report this matter to his superiors as soon as possible. As for this mission, to be honest, he doesn't have the confidence in his heart now.
Five minutes later, when the telephone signal was connected to the Magnesium Navy Headquarters through the Magnesium communication satellite, the news that Longxia had sent two fully staffed aircraft carrier battle groups to participate in actual combat exercises swept across the entire Magnesium country like a hurricane.
"Fuck! Are you guys in the CIA all idiots? Why didn't you get such important intelligence?!" President Magnesium was sitting in his office, roaring at the director of the CIA.
Faced with the general's anger, the CIA director just sat there with a serious expression, unable to say a word.
The news has been confirmed countless times. No matter what is said at this time, any explanation cannot cover up the fact that he has neglected his duties.
After venting his anger, the President of Magnesium finally felt a lot better.
He picked up the already cold coffee on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He then said, "Tell me, how do we resolve this matter? Should we continue the mission, or should we send them back immediately?"
"Mr. Boss, I suggest that we continue our mission!"
"Why?"
"Since the Longxia people chose to use two aircraft carrier battle groups to participate in this exercise, it means they have no intention of continuing to conceal the truth. And since our two aircraft carriers are right near the exercise site, we might as well observe their true combat capabilities carefully. This way we can obtain first-hand information, analyze and judge it, and formulate countermeasures!"
After listening to what a cabinet member said, President Magnesium felt that what he said made sense and nodded slightly.
But he didn't agree directly. Instead, he looked at the others and continued, "Gentlemen, what are your suggestions? Don't be silent at this time. Your country needs you!"
"Mr. Zongtong, I don't think a single combat exercise alone can fully expose the true combat power of the Longxia aircraft carrier battle group. What do you think? Should we let those small countries harass them and see how they respond? After all, I don't believe the Longxia people would actually sink a foreign ship that crossed their border. According to their past habits, they would definitely issue a warning first and then drive them away. Unless the other party uses force, they will not choose to strike first."
"Indeed. After all, we all know the situation of the Longxia people! How about this? Contact Ben, Fei Lubin, and Nan Gaoli later and have them arrange for a ship to cross the border and approach the exercise area for a test."
"Okay, stab your Excellency!"
At this time, James Kent, who was sitting there, asked, "What if they don't want to? You know, the situation this time is completely different from the past. Sending ships across the border at this time is a mission that will kill you. I'm worried that the cowards of those three countries won't dare to do it."
"Hmph, you don't dare? Then tell them that Magnesium will unilaterally announce the termination of the joint security treaty with them! If Longxia attacks them in the future, we in Magnesium will not care about their life or death."
"Haha, this is not up to them!" Everyone echoed.
"James, what happened to those Longxia people? Are they still refusing to give in?" The general looked at James Kent and asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I haven't received any news so far!"
"What a stubborn and stupid Longxia people!"
"Okay, Longxia Country's exercise is about to begin. Tell the Navy Command and the Air Defense Command to use satellites to closely monitor the exercise area!" After the Magnesium President finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and continued, "Gentlemen, the surprise the Longxia people have given us this time is too great, so in the coming period, I hope you can all cheer up and not let the country and the people down! Also, I have dinner plans with several senators tonight and don't want to be disturbed!"
"Yes, stab your Excellency!"
Looking at the boss's back as he left, the people in the office looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, after a brief discussion, they left the white house and dispersed.
In fact, the Chinese people should thank Xu Jianguo. If he had not removed the electromagnetic shielding of the space satellite at the critical moment, the Chinese people would have had no way of sending the message back.
The reason why he did this was because it was impossible to conceal this matter, so it would be better to let the Magnesian people act as war correspondents and spread this news that shocked the world.
Obviously, his goal was achieved.
Just as the President of Magnesium was leading a group of people in a meeting in the White House, several warships of the navy of China and the United States also sailed out from the overseas base port closest to the South China Sea of Longxia State and headed towards the scene of the incident.
The Sulian side was also not idle. In fact, they were the most shocked among the countries. After all, the two countries had a short honeymoon period decades ago, so they were unwilling to believe that Longxia would develop so rapidly.
So after learning the news, they not only mobilized satellites, but also dispatched warships to verify the authenticity of the news.
In this exercise, Longxia Kingdom divided the two aircraft carrier battle groups into red and blue sides, and set the center area of the exercise near a huge island reef. One side was the attacking side and the other was the defending side, and they conducted an island capture and defense exercise involving the navy, army and air force.
In addition to two fully staffed aircraft carrier battle groups, Longxia will also deploy the latest fourth-generation stealth fighters, early warning aircraft, transport aircraft, attack drones, armed helicopters and other aircraft in this exercise. When these new aircraft appear over the South China Sea, they will surely shock the world again.
