The Thousand-Armed Centipede has been in the Sakura Country for a week, and the entire Sakura Country has been disturbed, causing people in the Sakura Country to be frightened and the economy to collapse.
Two weeks later, having had enough fun, the Thousand-Armed Centipede plunged into the sea and disappeared from people's sight.
But even if Thousand-Hand Centipede leaves, a series of impacts it has brought about are still fermenting.
The threat of sea monsters has become a focus issue in the international community. The origin, quantity, strength, threat level, etc. of sea monsters are placed in front of every national think tank, and they need to be prepared.
People all over the world are afraid of sea monsters, especially the Thousand-Armed Centipede, which destroyed Tokyo and ignored the damage of various thermal weapons. Some people are afraid, while others worship it.
Thousand-Hand Centipede has also become an absolute superstar in Blue Star today because of his series of destructive actions. No star can match its popularity.
For Sakura Country, the departure of Thousand-Armed Centipede made all their citizens finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The top leaders of Sakura Country, under the command of Prime Minister Saionji Ito, announced the lifting of martial law nationwide, and the whole country was engaged in production and recovery to repair the damage and pain caused by the sea monster attack.
But some people don't want Sakura Country to have a good time at this time.
On December 25, 2032, a piece of news suddenly swept across the Asia-Pacific region.
"Jeko Group announced that in order to maintain navigation safety in the Pacific waters and prevent sea monsters from attacking ships and causing civilian casualties, it has specially formed a Far East task force, including the Irrawaddy, Salween, and Mamberamo Three Devourer-class deep-submersible cruisers, as well as corresponding destroyers, frigates, supply ships, amphibious assault ships, and landing ships. 》
At the same time as this news came out, the Far East task force formed by the Jieke Group had already headed north and arrived near the waters of Sakura Country.
The appearance of this Far East fleet immediately caused shock throughout the world.
A Devourer-class cruiser has a displacement of 45,000 tons, has 648 missiles and torpedoes of various types, and has extremely powerful combat capabilities.
The emergence of three Devourer-class deep-submersible cruisers, and the combined fleet, placed in the Blue Star Ocean, is an extremely powerful force. Without expansion, it can easily wipe out several small countries.
The large-scale mobilization of warships by the Jieko Group has to be said to be very eye-catching.
The Devourer-class deep-submersible cruiser is the well-deserved ace weapon of the Jieko Group's navy. With the huge national power of the Jieko Group, it can only build and support 15 ships. Now it sends three Devourer-class deep-submersible cruisers at one time to form a large fleet. Such behavior will naturally make people unable to stop thinking about it.
Sakura Country, which had dealt with the Jieke Group many times, already had a premonition that something was wrong when it heard the news.
What's wrong with Jieke Group? Will the other party come to maintain the safety of the waterway?
There's no way he's here to protect their Sakura Country, right?
Besides, it’s not like the Sakura Country has no backers to protect them. The Beautiful Country is not as active as the Jieko Group. If you think about it with your buttocks, you can detect the evil intentions of the Jieko Group.
The pretense of protection is false. I'm afraid he doesn't want to come here to add insult to injury.
The Sakura Kingdom is very self-aware of this. As the number one licker of the Beautiful Country, the Sakura Country has always followed the Beautiful Country on the front line against the Jieco Group. They have also sent troops into the Indo-China Peninsula to fight against the Jieco Group. Although they were defeated by Jieke Group The Ke Group was defeated, but the conflict between the two sides had already been forged.
Now that Sakura Country is weakened by sea monsters, the Jieko Group has sent such a large army, and it looks like they want to take advantage of the situation.
For this reason, Sakura Country quickly contacted its father from Beautiful Country and asked Beautiful Country to come over and stop the Jieko Group's maritime operations.
In fact, what Sakura Country thought was right.
The Far East task force formed by the Jieke Group immediately started a trip to Sakura Country after arriving in the waters of Sakura Country.
Osaka Port!
Osaka is the second largest city in Sakura Country, an important industrial and commercial city, and a land and water transportation center. It has a population of more than 3 million, but its population density is second only to the capital Tokyo, ranking second in the country.
Osaka Port is also one of the largest container ports in Sakura Country, and plays the role of Sakura Country's maritime transportation hub.
After the Thousand-Armed Centipede left, Osaka was the first city to be restarted by the Sakura Kingdom. The Sakura Kingdom promised huge profits to allow those Sakura Kingdom people who fled to the countryside to return to the city to work and live in order to maintain the operation of the country.
At the same time, Osaka Port works day and night to accept supplies purchased and shipped from Sakura Country from all over the world.
Sakura Country is an island country with poor land resources. Its own resources are scarce and most of them need to be imported. Especially after Tokyo was destroyed, the resources that need to be reconstructed are even greater. Osaka Port plays an important role.
A large number of shipping ships arrive here every day, delivering a steady stream of supplies and blood transfusions to Sakura Country.
At this time, at the Osaka Port Terminal, Tsubasa Shimazu, a terminal dispatcher, was wearing a uniform and was busy working.
"Captain of Ship 082, come and sign."
"Crane No. 9 in Area B, preparing for unloading."
"Freight vehicles will enter the port in Area D in half an hour, don't waste time."
Holding a walkie-talkie, Tsubasa Shimazu arranged work tasks.
He has been working as a terminal dispatcher for fifteen years. He originally fled to the countryside after the Tokyo incident.
But life in the countryside was not easy either. Due to the sharp depreciation of Sakura Country's currency and the skyrocketing prices, the money he brought with him was simply not enough to spend. In the end, even eating became a problem.
Therefore, at the call of the Sakura Country government, he had to take his family back to Osaka. Otherwise, he would not be able to live in the countryside without land or a job.
But just when Shimazu Tsubasa thought that today was another ordinary and busy day, he was suddenly surprised to find that there was a commotion among the container ships that were originally lined up in an orderly manner at sea, waiting to enter Osaka Port, and these ships retreated away.
"What's going on? It's not like another sea monster is coming."
Shimazu Tsubasa's face turned pale, and the colleagues around him also thought of this. Many of them had their legs weak and had already run away.
You know, the Sakura Country government has promised that they will deploy a lot of early warning equipment in the sea.
Once a sea monster attacks, an alarm will be issued immediately to ask them to evacuate.
At the same time, Osaka Port, an important port city, also has two additional divisions of the Self-Defense Forces, with more than 10,000 soldiers here.
Soon, Shimazu Tsubasa saw several huge warships appearing on the sea in the distance.
Having worked at the dock for many years, Shimazu Tsubasa could tell at a glance that those were warships and not other civilian ships.
Harsh air defense sirens were also sounded in Osaka City. Amidst this air defense sirens, warships approached Osaka Port one after another.
In particular, one of the warships in the center was more than 250 meters long, with eight thick biological tentacles surging on the sea surface, stirring up waves in the sea.
Although it was the first time for Shimazu Tsubasa to see the appearance of this battleship, he was no stranger to it. In the entire Blue Star, only the Jieko Group has this kind of Devourer-class deep-diving cruiser.
This kind of cruise arsenal, which can dive into the deep sea and carry a terrifying number of missiles, has long been famous around the world and is known to the world.
"They are all warships of the Jieco Group. What do they want to do?"
Shimazu Tsubasa's eyes widened. Although he had heard that the Jieco Group had built a Far East task force, in his impression, the Jieco Group had built such a fleet, and at most it was just cruising in the open sea to show off its military power. , do exercises or something to show your muscles.
But now that the other side's warships have come to Osaka Port, what kind of trouble is this?
He had not received any news in advance. If a warship came here, command and dispatch would definitely need to be arranged.
This also shows that the Jieke Group came uninvited and forced its way in without saying any hello.
"Whoever comes is not good, whoever comes is not good!"
Shimazu Tsutsuda looked at the Jieko Group warships getting closer and closer. Those Jieko Group warships did not look like a friendly visit at all.
Normally, when a warship enters the port, as a moving country, the warship needs to fly the national flag of the country being visited, blow the whistle, raise the flag, and dispatch a fleet honor guard and band.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
But none of these were seen on the warships of the Jieco Group. The warships of the Jieco Group that entered Osaka Port had all their weapons deployed, and seemed to be ready to start a war if they disagreed.
Inexplicably, Shimazu Tsutsuda came up with a terrible guess. These warships of the Jieko Group would not want to come here to fight, right?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, they have no reason to hit us."
Shimazu Tsutsuda immediately shook his head. War is not about eating and drinking, so how could it happen? The Sakura Kingdom has not offended their Jieko Group recently.
As the most important port in Sakura Country, Osaka Port naturally has warships patrolling nearby to protect the port from the threat of sea monsters.
Patrolling here are two Sakura Kuni Kongo-class destroyers, Kirishima and Myoko, with a standard displacement of 7,250 tons and a crew of 300.
There are four Mogami-class frigates, Kumano, Noshiro, Mikuma, and Yagi. These frigates have strong anti-submarine capabilities. They were sent by Sakura Country to detect sea monsters attacking under the sea, and they have high hopes.
"The fleet of the Jieko Group ahead, this is the territorial waters of our Sakura Country. If you do not have permission to enter, leave immediately, otherwise we will take all necessary countermeasures."
On the Kirishima destroyer, Captain Tanano Isukuro held up his binoculars and looked at the huge fleet on the opposite side, his brows furrowed. At this time, they had already issued a warning to the Jieko Group's fleet through radio communication.
"What are these guys doing here?"
A kind of panic and uneasiness arose in Tanano Jushiro's heart. The warship of the Jieko Group came here, and he smelled danger.
"Send power to the country and report the situation here. I need reinforcements."
Tano Jushiro said solemnly that he didn't know why the Jieko Group came, but this attitude didn't look like they were here to make friends.
"Yes!"
The adjutant nodded and immediately ordered the correspondent to send back the situation here to the higher-ups in the country.
At the same time, heading towards Osaka Port was part of the Far East Fleet of the Jieko Group.
The Irrawaddy deep-submersible cruiser is the leader, and is surrounded by four destroyers, six frigates, a comprehensive supply ship, an amphibious assault ship, eight large tank landing ships, and 12 medium landing ships.
At this time, in the command room of the Irrawaddy deep-submersible cruiser, Captain Tu Fengpu looked at the Sakura Nation warships blocking the road in front of him with an expressionless face, and said calmly: "Reply these Sakura Nation warships and ask them to make way and open the door. We are here. Free trade.”
The adjutant nodded, and quickly replied to the Sakura Nation warship on the opposite side exactly what Tufeng Pu said.
When the destroyer Sakura Kuni Kirishima received the news, many people looked ugly
"What is free trade? Our Sakura Country has not reached any trade agreement with their Jieke Group. I repeat again, our Sakura Country does not welcome you. You have invaded our Sakura Country's territorial waters and immediately withdraw from our territorial waters."
< br>
Juro Tano snorted coldly, feeling that he was humiliated by what Jieko Group said.
What does the Jieko Group think of their Sakura Country? This is no longer the past colonial era when they could forcibly export their own products with strong ships and cannons.
"The incident of the sea monster that appeared in Sakura Country. The sea monster is the wealth of all mankind. You have no right to carry out any exclusive behavior. We ask to be stationed here, and the interests of the sea monster need to be shared."
The corner of Tu Fengpu's mouth curled up, and he asked the correspondent to tell the other party this through the radio.
"Asshole."
Hearing this, Tano Jushiro couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
The sea monster is now the saddest thing that cannot be mentioned in Sakura Country. Tokyo was completely destroyed because of the sea monster. Now the Jieko Group is deliberately making trouble about it, which is obviously deliberately adding salt to their wounds in Sakura Country.
Jushiro Tōno gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Last warning, according to the "United Law of the Sea Treaty", if you enter our waters without our approval, we have the right to deal with it in accordance with the law."< br>
On the opposite side, on the Irrawaddy, Tufengpu said calmly: "The order is sent, the ships of the Sakura Kingdom provoked and attacked our warships without authorization. We resolutely fought back in self-defense. Each ship opened fire and sank the enemy ship."
The warships of the Jieko Group, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately carried out this order, and the message was passed on layer by layer.
The next moment, on the Irrawaddy, the missile silo covers were opened one by one, and the white Swordfish hypersonic anti-ship missiles were ignited and drilled out, rushing towards the Sakura Kingdom warship in front.
"Alert, alert of incoming missiles."
On the Kirishima, Jushiro Tōdō’s heart felt so nervous when he saw this scene that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest. He looked in disbelief.
Although he knew that the Jieko Group had bad intentions, he did not expect that the Jieko Group would launch such a sudden attack. Did they have no regard for international law and public opinion?
"Counterattack, counterattack immediately and intercept those missiles."
Jushiro Tano was shocked and shouted wildly. He did not forget his responsibilities and organized warships to fight back.
On the Sakura Kingdom warship, missiles began to fly out amidst the sound of battle sirens, but the efficiency and quantity of launches could not be compared with the Irrawaddy. (End of chapter)
