Chapter 44: Declaration of War

Of course, the Third Fleet also received an order. Before the negotiations were confirmed to break down, even if the big octopus was found, they would not attack it, and at most they would follow it. After all, if there was no need, they would not want to offend the Atlantis Empire that had been inexplicably run away. After all, these guys were elusive in the sea. If they had nothing to do, they would have caused an extremely heavy blow to the economy.

However, unlike the American imperial prudence, the Bangzi government was going crazy after learning the news. Their fragile and sensitive little nerves were greatly stimulated, and by the way, they were indeed very innocent.

Your bullshit beasts are just to harm us just for fun. Then we have to pretend to be fine and send it away with a smile, and we have to compensate you. Damn, bullying people is not so bullying. Except when we were dogs for the Japanese, we were not so humiliated, and when we were grandsons for the Celestial Kingdom and the American Empire, they have never bullied us like this.

"It's ridiculous. I'll give you compensation? We should ask you for compensation, because the destruction of your so-called divine beast has caused more than one billion US dollars in direct economic losses to our country, and the indirect losses are even more immeasurable. There are two soldiers who were injured by him. We are still looking for the culprit to compensate!"

In the conference room of the Third Fleet Command, Ambassador An Haorong, to the United States, stood at the conference table and said excitedly.

The envoy of the Atlantis Empire rolled his eyes with two fists in a daze.

Only then did An Haorong remembered that it could write and listen, so he had to sit down with a gloomy face, re-touched his words in his notebook and displayed them.

"What do you mean? Are you rejecting our request?" The envoy replied with a tablet.

"Of course we will not agree to such a rude and rude request." An Haorong said without hesitation.

"Did your country make the same decision?" The envoy raised the tablet to Rice.

"Empress, I have already made it clear that this is a matter between you two countries. As a neutral third country, we refuse to respond to your request, but if you dare to launch a barbaric attack on our ships or ports, our army will inevitably fight back. Also, as two allies of a military alliance, if you attack them, we will also fulfill our alliance obligations." Les replied expressionlessly.

"Okay, your choice is war. Can I understand this way?" The envoy also raised the tablet expressionlessly, of course it had no expression at all.

"If that's how you understand, then that's right!" Les replied.

"Then fight and use force to resolve our differences!" The Special Envoy replied.

This result was not beyond Wang Yue's expectations. Although Jianzi was just a puppy of the American Empire, he was also an obedient and good dog after all. They still had to stand out after being bullied. Besides, as the boss, they also had to take care of the feelings of other younger brothers. If they betray their younger brother just because of an empty threat, then the people of their team will be disbanded, and it is not easy to be the boss these days.

Besides, they lack intuitive feelings about the combat effectiveness of the Atlantis Empire. If they don’t slap them hard, they will not wake up.

Next, it's time to see Ershi.

Two hundred kilometers away from San Francisco, a 2,000-meter-long deep sea in a bottomless underwater canyon, a giant octopus crawled out against the ground. On the big head of a six-story residential building, a pair of terrifying eyes flashed with strange light in the darkness. After a slight pause, it began to slowly crawl towards the northeast.

"Report to the captain, commander, negotiations break down, and the enemy will be fired and destroyed when they find it!"

At the same time, Captain Huck also received the latest order on the USS Howard, a USS Aegis destroyer searching westward from San Francisco.

"Okay, everyone, cheer up, although our enemy is just an octopus!" He said to his surrounding subordinates with a funny look.

The sailors at their respective posts immediately burst into laughter. To be honest, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Third Fleet, this mission was too funny. They had imagined fighting against Lucians, Chinese, terrorists and even aliens, but no one had imagined that they would even have to fight an octopus.

"Sir, I suggest we have octopus for lunch today." An officer said with a smile.

"Will, your proposal is good. Tell the kitchen to add an octopus for lunch today. If the kitchen does not have one, let our helicopter go to San Francisco to pull some." Captain Huck nodded seriously and said.

Of course, if they despise the enemy, they should do their jobs meticulously, especially the sonar officer, who even stared at the screen in front of him with headphones. The underwater spherical part of the 9,000-ton giant warship's head was emitting ultrasonic waves to the seabed, while the passive sonar dragged by a cable a kilometer behind was constantly receiving the reflected ultrasonic signals, and then the computer processed them to generate images.

However, this kind of detection method has astonishing interference. A lot of things such as sea water temperature difference, salt difference, ocean currents, ocean noise, etc. can interfere with its effect, and the materials of the object being detected will also seriously affect its effect. Hollow metal objects such as submarines are easy to detect, and ultrasonic waves hit the shell will form obvious metal echoes.

But the rocks on the seabed are much worse, and it is even more difficult for octopus. The sonar must interpret the sound diagram formed by the feedback signal. In short, this is a high-tech job, very high-tech.

Just as Howard was preparing to fight the big octopus, a Fox TV helicopter in the sky was also broadcasting the search operation below. At this time, the US government had made public the news that the negotiations with the Atlantis had broken down. The US President Little Dark Horse issued a statement on the White House lawn that the people of the United States of America will firmly defend the peace and justice of the human world and faithfully fulfill their obligations to their allies. Any enemy will be crushed to pieces in front of the heroic US army, no matter what they are.

"Even if it is an octopus!" said the President with humor.

Infected by the optimism of the President, the American people were full of optimism about this war. In fact, most American people regarded this as a large-scale entertainment program. Just an octopus. Even if it grows to two hundred meters long, it was an octopus, an ordinary five hundred-pound bomb, a heavy torpedo, or even a large caliber naval gun could make it into a pile of rotten meat.

If it was unaware of it, it would cause some harm to those unarmed merchant ships, but now it has been publicly identified, then there would be no threat at all. All merchant ships and fishing boats on the west coast have been notified to be prohibited from leaving the port, and merchant ships that originally came from the east have also moved to Hawaii for temporary refuge. There are only one powerful American warship on the sea in the northern eastern Pacific Ocean. If this octopus does not escape, it will be a dead end.

In this case, not only Fox TV, but also major major TV stations in the United States have sent live helicopters, following different warships, hoping to hit the scene of the Dayun Live Battleship fighting octopus. The US military also adopts a welcome attitude towards this. In their opinion, if these aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers cannot even beat an octopus, it would be a fantasy. Since there is live broadcast of these TV stations, the whole world can see their bravery and invincible, why not do it?

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that in a villa in San Francisco, a pair of sinister eyes were determining their goals through TV screens.

"Howard, very good, Aegis destroyer, DDG83, 9300 tons of displacement, 96-unit vertical launch system, standard type 2 air defense missile, uh, this can be ignored, Tomahawk**, this can also be ignored, Aslok anti-submarine missile, this requires caution, one, two, seven millimeter main gun, this does not mean much, two fools can pull it down with one claw, dense array, this requires caution, the reaction speed is too fast, well, this is a powerful enemy!"

Boss Wang looked at his goal and felt that it was best to be careful this time. You should know that this was the first battle between the Atlantis Empire and humans. If you lose, it would be no fun.

"Ah, I'm such a genius!" The guy's eyes suddenly lit up and he said proudly as he looked at the TV screen.

Half an hour later, the Howard was on the voyage.

"Report to the chief, a large submarine was found underwater, with a depth of 500 meters, a distance of about two kilometers, a speed of 30 knots, and is approaching us, but the silent performance is very good and no mechanical noise is found." The sonar officer suddenly reported.

"Submarine? Are there our nuclear submarines nearby? Check with the Strategic Command immediately." Captain Hack said hurriedly.

"No, the Strategic Command said no, and this is not our nuclear submarine route. They said it should be a foreign nuclear submarine that broke into our search range." The communications officer immediately returned.

"Foreign nuclear submarines? Could it be Lucia's? Apart from these bastards, who dares to drive nuclear submarines into our offshores? Lock the target and force it out." Captain Huck said with a sneer.

"It stopped below us, no, why doesn't this submarine have a metal echo? It is accelerating, my goodness, it's too fast, at least two hundred knots, which submarine has such speed?" Suddenly, the sonar officer exclaimed.

"Prepare for combat, anti-submarine missiles are ready to be launched. Damn it, that's not a submarine!" Captain Huck suddenly woke up and screamed like crazy.
