Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051

Johnson was utterly bewildered.

Having participated in so many battles, he had never encountered such a situation as today's.

As soon as the battle started, the opponent took out four fighter jets in the first round.

In the second round, it had just begun when they hadn't even had time to fire, and another heavy destroyer had already been sunk, with a fighter jet shot down.

From the start of the battle until now, those people dubbed pirates by Johnson had maintained zero casualties.

It's unheard of, even since the founding of The Stars and Stripes Country, to suffer such a crushing defeat.

Johnson was getting really anxious now. He shouted directly to the colonel beside him, "Order the torpedo and anti-ship missile launch!"

The colonel dared not delay at that moment; it was truly a wartime urgency, and he sprinted all the way down.

The deafening roar sounded from the ship.

The massive noise caused the entire aircraft carrier to tremble violently.

All the journalists turned their cameras and photography equipment towards the source of the sound.

At this moment, on board the aircraft carrier, after a dazzling flash of light, a missile was directly launched toward the heavy destroyer of Yongfan Island.

Johnson then pulled out a high-magnification telescope, trying to see the moment the enemy warship was sunk by his missile.

Bear in mind, The Stars and Stripes Country's weapon systems are ahead of the world, and just their missiles are of world-class standards.

Johnson believed, no matter how formidable the opponent, the cruise missile could directly sink their warship.

But what happened next was completely contrary to Johnson's imagination.

The launched missile traced a line in the air and bombarded the enemy warship.

Right before the missile was about to hit the enemy warship, it was as if something blocked it, exploding prematurely at a distance from the warship.

The high-magnification telescope in Johnson's hands was a precision electronic product capable of 200x zoom, so he saw the situation clear as day.

"How... how is it possible!" Johnson lowered the high-magnification telescope in disbelief.

From youth till now, representing The Stars and Stripes Country in countless battles, he had never imagined something would happen today.

It seemed like there was a layer of protection outside the enemy warship that the missile couldn't penetrate.

Even with the current advanced technology in The Stars and Stripes Country, there's nothing remotely as capable as this.

Struck by a missile, yet completely unscathed. It was abnormal to an extraordinary degree.

While Johnson was still in shock on his side, another round of intense roaring sounded.

Johnson hurriedly picked up his high-magnification telescope.

Upon seeing the unfolding situation from where the sound originated, he nearly collapsed into his seat.

"How… how is it possible?!"

At this moment, in his telescope, yet another of The Stars and Stripes Country's destroyers was hit by a missile, engulfed in furious flames.

The battle had barely begun.

The Stars and Stripes Country had already paid the price of five fighter jets and two destroyers.

Since World War II, The Stars and Stripes Country had never suffered such a devastating blow.

Once arrogant, Johnson now looked somber.

Having maneuvered through the officialdom of The Stars and Stripes Country for so long, from Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader to today's Lieutenant General, few understood their future fate better than Johnson.

After this battle, there's no need to even think; he surely would face a downfall in the military. Being dismissed would be light; he might even face a military tribunal.

Johnson felt his entire life had started to darken.

Frowning tightly, Johnson stared at the impressive warships of Yongfan Island.

How could their warships be so formidable? Are these ordinary pirates?

Reflecting on this, Johnson shook his head slightly; there was simply no way the opponent's fighting capability could be compared to mere pirate rabble.

Compared to them, the combat power of The Stars and Stripes Country's warships was simply inadequate. Would it suggest that The Stars and Stripes Country's military strength is even inferior to pirates?

Johnson's surprise was not unique.

The representative of Vietnam Country, Ruan Zhongnan, was also filled with astonishment.

Although he didn't have the high-magnification telescope, he clearly saw the blazing inferno on the warship of The Stars and Stripes Country from afar.

Vietnam Country is merely a lackey of The Stars and Stripes Country, and Ruan Zhongnan never expected their master to be no match for Yongfan Island.

All the journalists present swarmed the deck, aiming their cameras at the fiery warship of The Stars and Stripes Country in the distance.

Previously, they filmed scenes of The Stars and Stripes Country bullying other nations. Scenes of The Stars and Stripes Country getting thrashed were truly unheard of.

All the journalists felt they had stumbled upon a treasure today. This war was genuinely worth their attendance.

If The Stars and Stripes Country were to win again in this war, it would truly be unremarkable, as the entire world already knows they win.

At this moment, Yongfan Island had actually overturned the world police. This indeed had news value. It was believed that all the reports from the journalists present would dominate their respective media headlines.

"Order all warships to retreat from the battlefield at the fastest speed." At this moment, Johnson said to the lieutenant colonel beside him.

The battle had reached a point where there was no need to continue; if they continued, they would surely lose. So it was better to preserve some living strength.

Meanwhile, one warship from The Stars and Stripes Country was responsible for holding up the warships of Yongfan Island, while the rest of The Stars and Stripes Country's warships quickly fled in the direction away from the battlefield.

However, that warship from The Stars and Stripes Country responsible for intercepting didn't last long before it was directly blown to pieces. The other ships of the Seventh Fleet managed to leave the battlefield thanks to the sacrifice of that destroyer.

Johnson stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier, looking at the battlefield, which was increasingly distant and ablaze.

At this moment, his heart was truly filled with mixed feelings.

Since he assumed command of the Seventh Fleet, Johnson had never imagined he would be defeated. And to be defeated so miserably in the end.

The entire battle didn't even last an hour.

And in this one hour, the Seventh Fleet lost five fighter jets and three heavy destroyers. Even during the wars in the Vietnam Country, he never encountered such a situation.

"General, what should we do now?" After retreating from the battlefield, the lieutenant colonel came to Johnson and asked softly.

Johnson glanced at the lieutenant colonel beside him and said somewhat powerlessly, "Withdraw from the Vietnam Country waters, and direct the fleet to the nearest allied port."

Johnson was genuinely frightened by this encounter; he was truly worried that if their warships remained in these nearby waters, they would suffer another attack from Yongfan Island.

The lieutenant colonel was slightly stunned upon receiving the order.

It's important to know that it takes at least half a day to reach the nearest allied port from here. He hadn't expected Johnson to retreat so far.

However, after a brief surprise, he didn't waste words and turned straight to carry out Johnson's order.

At that time, Ruan Zhongnan walked to Johnson's side. "General, if we leave, what will happen to the Vietnam Country?"

The warships from The Stars and Stripes Country were there to support the resistance against the invasion of Yongfan Island. Now that they were retreating, it would inevitably increase the pressure on Vietnam Country's frontline.

Johnson glanced at Ruan Zhongnan and said nothing before turning to leave.

Right now, Johnson realized, who cares anymore? They had been beaten to this extent by Yongfan Island's warships; how could they have the capability to manage affairs in the Vietnam Country?

Ruan Zhongnan watched Johnson's retreating figure, and for a moment, his brows furrowed tightly.

He originally believed that with intervention from The Stars and Stripes Country, Vietnam Country's crisis would pass. But now, it seemed he was indeed mistaken.

The Stars and Stripes Country is indeed a hegemonic power in the world, but when faced with a truly formidable adversary, they can also retreat.

The day after the naval battle between The Stars and Stripes Country and Yongfan Island ended, news of The Stars and Stripes Country's defeat spread widely.

'The Stars and Stripes Country defeated, world dominance in jeopardy'

'Yongfan Island creates another miracle, world hegemon suffers'

Some international analysts were incredulous when the battle results came out.

After all, Yongfan Island had only been established for a few months and had a few warships, basically captured India Country ships. Analysts found it difficult to explain why Yongfan Island could defeat The Stars and Stripes Country.

And it was done in such a remarkable way, achieving zero casualties in defeating The Stars and Stripes Country.

Following this naval battle, The Stars and Stripes Country changed their previously arrogant and domineering attitude, choosing silence this time.

However, analysts managed to identify the dilemma of The Stars and Stripes Country.

With the presidential election imminent in The Stars and Stripes Country, the current president initially intended to secure reelection through this incident in Vietnam Country.

However, unexpectedly, things reached this stage, so with no other options, the president of The Stars and Stripes Country chose silence to calm domestic public sentiment.

After all, this time The Stars and Stripes Country was not defending their homeland but intruding into someone else's territory and getting beaten.

Therefore, The Stars and Stripes Country had no grounds to enact war mobilization.

After The Stars and Stripes Country fell silent, Yongfan Island accelerated its military actions in Vietnam Country, and after three days, Yongfan Island's ground forces again captured a city.

Now, Yongfan Island controlled five major cities in Vietnam Country.

At this moment, the capital of Vietnam Country was exposed to Yongfan Island's artillery; it could be said that with a bit more effort, Yongfan Island could directly capture the capital of Vietnam Country...

Ding Fan was sitting in the city hall, looking at a pile of documents.

All these documents were organized by Ye Ningbing. The content consisted entirely of international condemnation of Yongfan Island after its troops entered Vietnam Country.

"Island Master, international opinion is currently very unfavorable to us," Ye Ningbing said.

Ding Fan smiled indifferently, "No need to pay attention to it."

The voices of condemnation from these countries were fundamentally acts of inaction. Regardless of where, only true strength commands respect.

Seeing Ding Fan's stance, Ye Ningbing found it hard to say more. "Island Master, the representative from Vietnam Country arrived yesterday; should we meet today?"
