I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1464: Is it necessary to bet?

It was not just the guided-missile frigate that was sunk.

There was a total of four nuclear submarines that launched assaults beneath the ocean surface, all of which were modified by the dark technologies by the joint effort of Future Military and Future Heavy Industries. Apart from the hull that appeared to be similar to the Kilo-class diesel-powered submarine, there was not the slightest sign of the past.

Eight torpedoes were launched simultaneously, and the flames of the explosion lit the gloomy sea level into red.

After the Ford Aircraft Carrier Battle Group lost a guided missile frigate, a destroyer, and an attack nuclear submarine, the air defense capability was instantly weakened to a minimum. The already crumbing air superiority also began to favor Celestial Trade.

On the Ford aircraft carrier.

The flame of battle had burned from the deck to below the deck.

NS-90s used thermite to blow up some anti-aircraft weapons, melted through the sealed hatch, and split into two directions. Part of the AI soldiers went to the hangar, while the rest directly attacked the bridge.

The NS-90s that entered the ship went into a fierce exchange of fire inside the narrow hallways with the Marine Corps soldiers that arrived as backup. The bullets with orange-yellow trajectories bounced inside the steel hallways. The NS-90s relied on their strong armor and disdain for death to tear a path of blood through the Marine Corps’ line of defense.

On the other side, in the carrier hangar, the SEALs equipped with special equipment developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the NS-90s. The power armor that they mimicked did not bring many advantages. Although the anti-armor firepower was somewhat effective against NS-90s, the ten-to-one or even twenty-to-one loss exchange ratio made everyone’s morale depressed.

“...This is Delta, we’re engaging enemy units!”

“Weapon lift is destroyed! Celestial Trade has penetrated into the hangar, WE NEED BACKUP!”

“HOLD YOUR POSITION, DON’T RETREAT! SH*T! AHHHHH...”

The static noise that transmitted in Major Admiral’s ear turned his expression even gloomier.

There were less than two hundred NS-90s. Although he did not optimistically think that the war would be easy, he did not expect it to be so one-sided. The Delta Team in the hangar was equipped with the “Sea Beast” power armor developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The power armor was not only installed with the newly developed micro-jet engine, but the front armor was even installed with the expensive titanium alloy used on spacecraft!

The Delta was originally prepared for the orbital airborne brigade of Celestial Trade.

But it had already encountered its death here...

At this moment, the hatch was slammed open, and the Marine Corps officer who was shot in the shoulder stumbled in. Hogg instinctively reached for his waist, but after he saw the person, he immediately grabbed him and held him straight.

When everyone in the bridge saw the injuries on the officer’s body, people started to panic.

Everyone thought that their powerful Marines would eliminate the robots that landed on the deck and regain control of the deck and the weapon lift, but they didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this point!

“Wayne! What’s wrong with you.” Hogg held onto Wayne and said with a surprised and shocked look.

“We can’t hold the Ford anymore...Retreat...” Wayne was breathing heavily. After he was helped into a chair to sit down, he immediately grabbed Major Admiral Hogg’s hand and stared at his commander with bloodshot eyes. Slowly, word by word, he said, “Those robots...we can’t deal with them! Quickly...Retreat! N...ow...!”

Just as he spoke, there was an explosion outside the bridge.

Everyone inside the bridge felt the tremor from under their feet approaching.

“Retreat?”

There was a sign of misery on Hogg’s pale face. He looked at the rain curtain dotted with flames outside the window, and his tight shoulders suddenly relaxed.

“Where else can we retreat to?”

Their fighters were above sea level, their submarines were below sea level.

Whether above or below, they had no way out.

After all, the Pentagon underestimated the strength of the enemy. From the very beginning, this stupid war should not be fought...

The downpouring Caribbean Sea had already turned into a sea of flame.

Whether it was Celestial Trade launching a surprise attack on the Ford Aircraft Carrier Battle Group located outside the theater, or attacking the aircraft carrier by airdropping the NS-90s to the deck, the series of attacks all caught Pentagon completely off-guard.

However, what really caught the 150,000 NATO allied forces under Medellin by surprise was not the bloody storm in the Caribbean Sea. They didn’t need to face the bad news from hundreds of kilometers away, but more serious trouble was awaiting.

At the time when Celestial Trade launched an attack on the USS Ford, a heavily armed force on the southern coast of the Caribbean Sea moved quietly under the cover of a storm, along the mountainous area near the coastline, towards the North Colombia controlled Turbo...

...

“...Very good, I see.”

After Jiang Chen put the phone down, he took a deep breath, then a subtle smile began to form.

“You attacked the Ford aircraft carrier battle group?” Natasha’s expression changed dramatically as she immediately jumped up from the sofa, “Go to Russia with me.”

“Why are we going to Russia?” Jiang Chen was confused.

“To take you to the doctor! You are crazy!”

“Crazy?” After he processed what she said for a second, he started to laugh. Then he leaned back on the sofa and said in a mocking tone, “How come I don’t see any issues? Tell me how I am crazy?”

After Natasha took a deep breath, she said anxiously, “Pence is different from Hill. The ruling party is the Republican Party, and he is a hawk in the Republican Party! Do you think he is afraid to launch a strategic nuclear attack on Xin? You are betting with your own life!”

“Betting?” Jiang Chen smiled, and said in a relaxed tone, “Is it necessary to bet?”

“Are you still counting on strategic deterrence? How many of your missiles can escape interception during the boost phase? Don’t tell me you don’t know. The UA has deployed THAAD systems on Guam and Wake Island, and more than half of the aircraft carrier battle groups have been mobilized to the Pacific region! What is the strategic depth of Xin? Only a few hundred square kilometers in total?”

The boost phase was the ascending phase of the missile, which was the easiest phase for interception.

No matter how high the cruise orbit was nor how fast the speed was, it was necessary to accelerate from zero and it was the weakness of almost all intercontinental missiles.

With how anxious Natasha looked, even though he knew she was worried about his safety, Jiang Chen still couldn’t help but chuckle.

When she saw Jiang Chen not only did not “wake up”, but continued to smile, she rolled her eyes vigorously, sat back on the sofa with her arms folded, and breathed hard into her bangs, as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.

“If you’re scared, you can go back to your home for a while.” Jiang Chen joked.

“Scared? The word doesn’t exist in the blood of Slavs.” Natasha said with a cold look, “The worst scenario is to die with you.”

“Ahem, take it easy, it’s too early for us to die.” Jiang Chen comforted her, and after a short pause, he looked out of the living room window with ease, then he continued with a casual, relaxed tone, “Isn’t it just a nuclear strike? I will let you know what my real trump card is.”
