Chapter 653: Merika Completely Became Soft…Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The dozens of billions destroyed was still somewhat acceptable, but the crucial thing was the soldiers on board the s.h.i.+ps. Those were all elites they painstakingly groomed, not to mention some of the newly developed weapons that weren"t ma.s.s-produced yet. And now, all of it gone, before even making a single use…
“There"s nothing that we can do, right?” Salon painfully closed his eyes and said, “This isn"t a matter that can be resolved by looking for a scapegoat. Other than resigning, I really can"t think of any other way. The only thing I know is that I am over.”
“Maybe, this is the only way…” The President sighed and said, “I am unable to face the citizens of Merika anymore…”
Their misfortunes hadn"t ended yet. Just as the three of them were planning their retreat route, a Meteorologist from the Weather Bureau rushed in anxiously and said, “Mr. President, Chief Itra, Chief Salon, we have bad news!”
“What is it again?” The President listlessly asked, “What other bad news is there? Hurry up and say it, since things are already like this anyway…”
“Mr. President, the huge typhoon, it"s, it"s…” The Meteorologist violently swallowed his saliva and said, “It"s coming towards Merika at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. According to calculations, it will enter the land at Californie, at our country"s… San Diago Aircraft Carrier Base…”
“What!?” Hearing this, the President was firstly stoned, then became completely dumbfounded. “You just said that the super huge typhoon is coming towards our land!?”
“That"s… That"s right!” The Meteorologist almost cried and said, “Coming towards the San Diago Aircraft Carrier Base at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour! There"s roughly about… Less than ten hours before it will reach land.”
“G.o.d!” The President angrily scolded. “Who said that we should put Hong Dali on trial? Look at this, see what trouble you guys have attracted!”
Itra and Salon were looking down at the floor…
The largest typhoon in history with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour and with a diameter of 220 plus kilometers was going to hit Merika!?
“What should we do? What should we do now?” Being able to become the President of Merika, he was indeed not just an ordinary person. But the problem was, the issue this time wasn"t ordinary either, so the President was at a loss of what to do momentarily.
If such a huge typhoon hit Merika, the consequences…
“Hurry and get up!” The President shouted towards Itra and Salon, “There"s no time for you guys to be regretting here now, the main priority now is to evacuate the citizens! Now! Immediately!”
“O… OK!” Towards this kind of catastrophe, Salon and Itra knew that it was not the time to be regretting now. Their priority should be to inform the public and evacuate them, or else…
They didn"t dare to think on anymore.
“Salon.” After a brief moment of panic, the President quickly reacted and said, “Contact Heavenly State"s diplomatic amba.s.sador immediately, express our most sincere apology to them! No matter what, remember, this time, we only ask Hong Dali to show mercy on us. From now on, Merika should follow Heavenly State"s lead!”
“President!” Salon exclaimed, “This is a natural disaster! What use is there apologizing to Heavenly State!?”
“Bulls.h.i.+t!” The President didn"t have his previous graceful bearing anymore and loudly shouted, “Don"t you find the timing of this typhoon very weird!? We only just said that we are going to do a military exercise and send Hong Dali to international court! Then this typhoon appeared and came directly for our carrier strike groups! And now, it"s even coming towards the San Diago Aircraft Carrier Base in Californie! Do you think that a natural disaster would have this kind of effect!? A speed of 500 kilometers per hour! Directly heading towards the aircraft carrier base! There isn"t any use saying anything else now, hurry up and go and apologize!”
“Ye… Yes!” The sweat on Salon"s forehead was the size of soybeans. He ferociously nodded and ran out like crazy.
“Itra.” After instructing Salon, the President then looked at Itra and said, “Now isn"t the time for regret, hurry up and go evacuate the public. Evacuate all of the people who are in the path of the typhoon! No matter the case, we have to lower our loss to the lowest possible! Go now!”
“O… OK!” Hearing the President"s instruction, Itra hurriedly went out too.
If he stayed on, he was afraid that he would completely break down.
After instructing everyone, the President took in a deep breath and then softly waved his hand. After the Meteorologist went out, he slowly sat onto the sofa and mumbled, “Maybe we really shouldn"t have provoked Heavenly State… It"s time to talk to the number one person in Heavenly State…”
Inside the mysterious man"s office.
Currently, he had already heard the news regarding the typhoon devouring the three carrier strike groups.
Actually, since the start, he had already antic.i.p.ated that Merika would definitely face some misfortune this time, just that he didn"t expect the misfortune to be so severe…
“This little rascal Hong Dali…” The mysterious man violently rubbed his tempers and said, “He has really played a big one this time, I just hope that he doesn"t go too overboard. The commoners are innocent after all… But this kind of thing is uncontrollable, this is really…”
Then, he couldn"t explain what it really was too…
“Dinggg—!!”
Just as he was thinking up to this point, the office telephone suddenly rang. The mysterious man felt strange and frowned. “Who would call at such a timing?”
“h.e.l.lo.” Picking up the receiver, the mysterious man"s tone was very stable. “Who is this?”
“h.e.l.lo, Mister. I am McGregor, long time no see.” Merika"s President Mr. McGregor"s voice sounded a bit agitated. “Respected Sir, can we have a proper talk?”
“McGregor? h.e.l.lo.” So it"s the Merika President. The mysterious man insipidly said, “You have something to say?”
“Of course.” McGregor slowly said, “I believe that you should know of the huge typhoon by now through the satellites. We express our deepest admiration towards your Nations" prowess. Therefore, I wish to negotiate with you. I wonder if you have the time now?”
“This thing isn"t our weapon.” The mysterious man sighed and said, “Actually, I didn"t expect the results to be so severe. Honestly speaking, I know that you guys would be unlucky, just not to this extent. Tell me, what terms and conditions?”
“We can announce that Sea Turtle Island will forever belong to Heavenly State. From now on, Merika will support whatever decisions that Heavenly State makes internationally without question.” Speaking up to this point, President McGregor sighed and said, “We only wish that your country won"t use this ultimate weapon Hong Dali and let our people go.”
“The commoners are innocent.” The mysterious man didn"t agree to his conditions but didn"t reject either. He only insipidly said, “I will pa.s.s on your words to Hong Dali.”
“OK, thank you.”
The call ended.
“This is really…” Hanging up on the phone, the mysterious man didn"t know what expression he should have now.
Now, even Merika was so fearful of Hong Dali and even promised that as long as he didn"t use this ultimate weapon Hong Dali, they would support any decisions and policies that Heavenly State made internationally.
Once those words left his mouth, with McGregor"s ident.i.ty, he wouldn"t be able to renege on it.
“Speaking of which, this McGregor is still not bad, at least he cares about his people.” The mysterious man thought for a while and then slowly shook his head. “It"s just that our standpoint is different. Nevermind, it"s time to talk to Dali.”
At the same time, on the other side.
Salon ran out of the office and directly ran towards the communication base in the Hexagon Building.
This was a special department for them to communicate with various other countries. Normally, there wasn"t any need for Salon to come here, because it was always others who needed to contact him and not the other way round. But now, he had to actively contact others. For example, the Bureau Chief…
“Mr. Wu Di, I am the Chief of Merika"s National Security Bureau, Salon. I ask of you to hear my explanation even if you are busy now!” After connecting to the Bureau Chief, Chief Salon really didn"t have any temper this time and sincerely said, “I know that it was wrong of us to treat Hong Dali as our greatest enemy last time, but we have learned our mistake now. We are very sorry about this. We ask of your Nation to show mercy on us, the commoners are innocent…”
Salon said that all out like a machine gun, but the Bureau Chief had no idea what he was talking about. “What are you talking about? Salon, you guys want to come to Heavenly State"s door to do a military exercise, and now you are telling me this. Are you trying to make fun of us?”
The ident.i.ties of these two people were about the same. Salon directly called him and said a bunch of strange words, it was natural that he would feel strange and eerie.
“That"s not the case. Ah, it"s like this, it"s a misunderstanding! It"s all a misunderstanding!” Salon didn"t try to hide it anymore, the news of the three carrier strike groups being destroyed couldn"t be hidden. Therefore, Salon directly said, “We intended to make a move on Hong Dali, and as a result, we met with a super typhoon on the sea. It has a diameter of 220 plus kilometers, a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and our three carrier strike groups are already destroyed. Now, this typhoon is coming towards Merika"s land. Mr. Wu Di, the public is innocent, please ask the Young Master to control this super-strong typhoon!”
What the heck, three carrier strike groups all destroyed?
This is really frightening, isn"t it?
It was no wonder that the Bureau Chief only just received this news. He was on Big Fish the whole time, so he wasn"t very concerned about the matters regarding the weather…
However, although he wasn"t concerned about the weather, if Salon didn"t exaggerate, the super-strong typhoon this time was indeed a bit too ferocious…
“Ah, Mr. Salon, please rest a.s.sured, I shall go and tell this to Hong Dali now.” The Bureau Chief was really proud this time. Any country that had such an ultimate weapon would be very happy too. “But Mr. Salon, this matter is after all too miraculous, I can"t promise that it will be of use…”
“It"s fine as long as you help us. From now on, we will definitely follow Heavenly State"s lead without another word!” Salon directly stated his condition.
