The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 132 131. Be alert and don't lose face. Good job

The moment the United Government Advance Command issued the order, the artificial intelligence MOSS immediately took over the global network system of the Transformers dimension.

The highest permissions of all networked devices, whether military or civilian, were instantly locked by the artificial intelligence MOSS.

All the parliamentarians and military personnel from various countries who had just been clamoring for an all-out war discovered that the global satellite monitoring, radar anti-missile and satellite navigation systems had all failed.

After a series of modern information equipment on naval ships and air force fighter planes became completely useless, they all realized the seriousness of the problem and were horrified.

“Boss, we just lost contact with at least four hundred overseas bases around the world.

In addition, all air defense and anti-missile systems have been taken offline, and the highest authority has been seized..."

Upon hearing this news, the North American leader, who had just made a bold statement that he would declare war on the UEG Human United Government on behalf of all countries in the world, immediately became anxious.

"what happened?

How could the Internet firewall, which is said to be the strongest in the world and cost $960 billion to build, be so easily conquered by the enemy?!"

Facing the questioning from the President of North America, the head of the Department of Homeland Security had a very bitter look on his face.

How could he have known that the UEG human coalition government would be so strong in the field of cybersecurity.

The so-called network firewall is only used to prevent civilian hackers.

It seems unexpected but reasonable that it has no effect on other civilized forces that may have technological levels far beyond the official level of North America.

The President of North America is still complaining about taxpayers' money being wasted.

On the other hand, the head of the Department of Homeland Security received an urgent communication from his subordinates.

After hearing the message conveyed by the other end of the phone, his face was full of disbelief.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Soon, the North American commander stopped complaining and judged from the expressions of his subordinates that he might have to face bad news again.

"Boss, the North American Aerospace Defense Command has just sent a message that more than one hundred strategic missile launch bases in our territory have entered a standby launch state..."

“Who allowed...

Wait, you mean…”

"Yes, we have lost control of these launch sites."

"Damn it, doesn't the Air Defense Command have any response plan?

Physical disconnection or something?"

"Boss, these launch bases are now completely closed. The only feasible solution is to cut off the power.

Cut off all the power supply facilities outside these launch bases..."

"So what are you waiting for?
Hurry and take action! "

“Boss, these launch bases were originally designed with emergency energy supply systems in place to handle extreme situations.

Even if the external power supply is cut off, it can at least last for one to two weeks..."

"Fake!"

The North American leader cursed so loudly that the Secret Service security personnel guarding the door looked at each other in bewilderment.

Soon, a series of cabinet officials, including the Secretary of State and the Department of Homeland Security, were convened to discuss how to deal with this difficult situation.

"Boss, your strong response to the so-called 'UEG Human United Government' not long ago has been unanimously recognized by many of our allies around the world.

Even Moscow, the Eastern power that has always been against us, did not express any opposition.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time since the end of World War II that our declaration has been recognized by major countries in the world.

In a sense, it also represents North America's leadership in the global order.

So at this critical moment, I think we should maintain the same tough stance as before.

Otherwise, not only will our allies be confused, but Moscow and the Eastern powers will also look down on us..."

The North American Secretary of State looked at the President with a serious expression, reminding him that his subsequent words and actions would likely determine the future leadership order of North America on a global scale.

When a country acts, especially a large and powerful country that plays an important role, the most taboo thing is to have changing attitudes and inconsistent policies.

This will be seen as a sign of chaos and disorder internationally and it will be difficult to gain the trust of other countries.

North American officials have just announced a military conflict with this UEG coalition government.

The various allied and small countries are looking closely at the statement made by the North American "leader".

How long has it been?
If North America becomes cowardly and retreats now, the prestige that it has long established in front of its smaller peers would probably collapse.

What the North American president cannot accept the most is the contempt that may come from Moscow and the major Eastern powers.

“What’s the situation now?

How much more military force can we mobilize?"

The North American leader had an uncertain expression on his face and did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked the head of the Pentagon first.

"Boss, our satellite-based positioning, navigation, and communication monitoring equipment are all paralyzed.

But a considerable number of wired telephones and radio communications are still able to function normally.

At present, more than 15 National Guard and Army troops have been mobilized, and they will be able to enter the area around Washington in six hours at the latest. However, it should be noted that without modern information network technology services, the high-tech combat system that our troops are proud of cannot be brought into play.

The military’s combat effectiveness, pessimistically speaking, is probably only at the level of the end of World War II…”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff tactfully expressed his views to the President.

In his opinion, from a military perspective alone, the North American military, which is currently only at the level of the end of World War II, has no chance of winning the war against the UEG coalition government with its "floating space battleships".

But war is the continuation of politics.

The decision of whether to go to war is not only based on military factors, but also on political factors, which are the most important considerations.

In this situation, he could only euphemistically express his "pessimism" about the direction of the war.

“Boss, I think the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a little too pessimistic.

According to the information we currently have, the force that calls itself the UEG United Human Government currently has ten spaceships, all of which are located in Europe.

The target in the short term cannot possibly be North America.

Even if we take a step back and say that the other side really sent these spacecraft to North America, there is absolutely no possibility of a large-scale conflict breaking out..."

The words of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs aroused the interest of the President of North America.

"Why do you say that?"

"Simply through the public declaration of the UEG Human Coalition Government.

The other side publicly declared that they came to unite all human beings and wanted to create the so-called "community of shared future for mankind."

In this case, if they launched an attack on a densely populated city, causing large numbers of casualties.

Doesn't this prove that their declaration is a complete lie?

So I judge that it is impossible for the other side to launch a large-scale military attack.

When it comes to small-scale military conflicts, we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.

Even if the other side really launches a large-scale attack, the casualties will become an important step for us in North America to gain sympathy from the world and subsequently gain global leadership.

So, in summary, no matter what the situation is, there is only one outcome.

Let our people and soldiers make some necessary sacrifices in exchange for the consolidation and enhancement of North America’s political status and influence in the world…”

Listening to the words of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, everyone present looked at him in awe.

What is a 'necessary sacrifice'?
It's complete lies to deceive your conscience.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that these soldiers and civilians are complete victims in order to achieve the other side's desired political goals.

“Ms. Lasiri, is your proposal a little too cruel?
Use the lives of our North American soldiers and civilians as an invisible shield?"

"My dear Security Bureau Chief, please save your false sympathy.

Only by acting as I say can we maximize the interests of North America.

You are also the ones who benefit from this war.

So please stop saying hypocritical words that make me sick.

I am a woman who is not afraid of war, but you guys who come from military backgrounds are frightened by those iron-hulled spaceships in the sky."

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lahiri, disdainfully criticized several heads of military departments during the cabinet meeting, whom she regarded as weak and capitulatory.

The faces of the people who were criticized turned red with anger, and they were cursing in their hearts.

'Nonsense, an old woman like you naturally doesn't need to go to the battlefield.

Those who died or were injured in the battles on the front lines were not your soldiers, but your subordinates.'

No excessive disputes occurred during this cabinet meeting because everyone knew that the only one who could make the final decision was the President himself.

“I already know the details.

Now that things have developed to this point, there is naturally no reason for us in North America to refuse to become a beacon of freedom and democracy.

Whether it's the Nazis, the Soviets, or this so-called UEG human united government.

No one can take our freedom from the great nation of America!"

I have to say that no one who can become the President of North America has poor eloquence.

With just a few words, the North American President elevated the status of the upcoming military operation to a level comparable to World War II and the Cold War.

At the same time, everyone involved in this cabinet meeting finally understood that the President of North America was determined to launch "military armed resistance."

The decision of the North American leader was quickly spread throughout the United States and even around the world through the still functioning wired telephones and radio communication equipment.

Amid his passionate and generous speech, the people of North America cursed him, fearing that the commander-in-chief would lead these alien warships from Europe to North America.

In response to the North American officials who stood up to help them "attract firepower", European countries publicly praised the North American officials for their responsibility and accountability, and said that they are worthy of being the world's recognized superpower.

As for the other two important powers in the world.

In order to make the North American officials more determined to be the first to step forward, "Moscow" and the Eastern powers expressed their sincere admiration through diplomatic channels for the North American leader's courage to take on the European defense that does not belong to them.
