Chapter 1331 Chen Jun temporarily takes command of the horses
Everyone looked at Chen Jun with anticipation, admiration, and even a touch of adoration. After all, this battle had fully demonstrated Chen Jun's exceptional abilities. He was no longer just a special forces captain or a chief designer in the military industry. He was a well-rounded military genius, and the title "Young God of War" was well-deserved.
In the peaceful Yan Kingdom, it was rare to find another war god as dazzling as Chen Jun. However, decades ago, Yan Kingdom's war gods emerged like stars. However, in an era of diminished faith, people always hoped for the heroic war god to return.
It can be said that Chen Jun’s rise is undoubtedly a vivid symbol of this era.
At this moment, facing everyone's meaningful gazes, Chen Jun said with a serious expression, "Commander, the United States may appear to have withdrawn its troops, but the main reason is that they haven't yet understood our true strength. They are simply afraid and don't want to make a losing deal. This isn't a true withdrawal."
When everyone heard this, although there was doubt in their eyes, they still nodded slightly to show their agreement.
Chen Jun continued, "So, if we want them to completely give up their plans and retreat without any further ado, these current measures alone are far from enough. After all, the United States has dominated the world for decades and is accustomed to being overbearing and domineering. Once they calm down, they will definitely hold another meeting to discuss matters. By then, the pro-war factions within their ranks will undoubtedly rise again, especially those arms dealers and capitalists, who are eager to provoke a war and reap huge profits."
"Under these circumstances, they are highly likely to provoke conflict again, even invading our airspace and territorial waters, launching a new round of provocations and tests. Therefore, as our wise ancestors said, 'It is better to pursue a desperate enemy with your remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating a tyrant.' We must demonstrate a resolute attitude and make it clear to the American people that we are not afraid of war and even look forward to fighting them. Only by convincing them of this will they truly be intimidated and completely surrender."
Long Shuai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Chen Jun, I understand your idea. However, to achieve your vision, we need to take great risks and even be prepared for a real war to break out. Are you... mentally prepared?"
"Always be prepared! Commander, I know what I should do and what extent I should go to make them uncomfortable without forcing them to start a war. After all, since ancient times, international status has been based on strong military force. If a war really breaks out, although I cannot stop it, I can guarantee that I will do my best to lead everyone to win this war!" Chen Jun's eyes were firm and his tone was sonorous and powerful.
The scene fell silent. Naturally, conquering the enemy without fighting was undoubtedly the best option, but if war actually broke out... everyone present, based on historical experience, knew the weight of Chen Jun's words. After all, in the face of war, verbal deterrence alone was far from enough.
Everyone murmured for a moment. Finally, Long Shuai's eyes lit up, and he fixed his gaze on Chen Jun. He said solemnly, "I propose that the command of all military commanders be handed over to you. You will be fully responsible and in command to handle this crisis."
"Comrade Chen Jun, on behalf of the High Command, I endorse you. Just follow your heart and carry out your actions."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they were more affirmative and supportive, and no one raised any objections.
At this critical moment when the undercurrent surged, Chen Jun suddenly roared: "Guarantee to complete the mission!"
Afterwards, Long Shuai and other high-ranking officials took command of the headquarters, while Chen Jun and the hawkish leader, Ye Lao, rushed to the frontline headquarters. Behind them, the nation's resources were rapidly mobilized, especially the coastal troops, which instantly entered the highest state of combat readiness. In recent years, Yan Nation, blessed by the protection of its ancestors, had not seen such a large-scale mobilization in decades. Apart from regular military exercises, the troops rarely engaged in real-life operations like this one. Looking at the map, the troops along the entire coastal area were like a mighty torrent rushing into the sea, converging into a powerful force, ready to fight and obeying orders. Their commander-in-chief was none other than Chen Jun, who had been appointed in this critical moment.
Elder Ye held the phone tightly, handed it to Chen Jun, and said, "Comrade Chen Jun, all the troops have been adjusted. From now on, it all depends on your command."
Chen Jun took the phone with both hands, feeling it weigh a thousand pounds. He knew full well that with this call, he was taking command of a vast army. His heart surged with excitement, his blood boiling. For a soldier, this was the pinnacle of his career, though only temporarily. Regardless, he was now in command of the battle.
Chen Jun took a deep breath and instantly felt the weight of his historical mission, as if the invisible expectations of his ancestors were pressing down on his shoulders. This was a mission, carrying the immense weight of history. If you haven't been in this position, you simply can't understand Chen Jun's feelings at this moment.
He is about to create history himself and write his own legend.
Fortunately, having come all the way from the Army, through the trials and tribulations of the Navy and Air Force, this all-around talented young warrior had already learned how to calm himself. The next moment, he decisively gave the general order into the phone.
"I order the Yanhe Dongliao and Dongshan aircraft carriers to set sail and head towards the Beautiful Country at full speed!"
"Order received..." A moment later, two enormous aircraft carriers along the coast, like two peerless swords, split the turbulent sea and broke through the waves towards the target. The bright flags fluttered in the wind, dazzling red, like burning flames.
"I order Sky Fortresses 1 and 2 to take off immediately!"
"Number 1 received!"
"Number 2 received!"
As the pilots' resolute reports reached them, on the coastal runway, against the backdrop of the blue sky and sun, the metallic fighter planes trembled with a roar. Then, orange-blue flames erupted from the tails of the two fighters, and their massive steel fuselages soared into the air like arrows from a bow.
Almost at the same time, Chen Jun's orders came one after another.
"Your mission, whether in the air or at sea, is to closely pursue the retreating American fleet. Fighter planes, follow my orders! Once you get behind enemy lines, use your speed advantage to launch low-altitude bombings. Note: This operation is primarily aimed at scaring them. Avoid provoking conflict for now; the focus is on creating a deterrent effect!"
"Understood!" The ace pilots in the isolation chamber responded excitedly.
Being able to fly such a super fighter to chase and intimidate the enemy, even if it was just a "borderline attack", was an extremely exciting thing for these ace pilots. Their blood boiled and they couldn't wait to engage the enemy.
After issuing the combat mission, Chen Jun turned to look at Elder Ye beside him and, for the first time as a commander, issued an order: "Commander Ye, it's your turn now. Please cooperate with our diplomats and vigorously publicize our tough attitude and strong strength, putting pressure on the United States and forcing them to publicly apologize to us internationally. Otherwise, we will not hesitate to use force!"
The corners of Elder Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and then he couldn't help but laugh. Sinking an enemy aircraft carrier, seizing an enemy fighter jet, and demanding an apology... Indeed, this was the courage and responsibility a young successor should possess. Honestly, he admired this tactical arrangement from the bottom of his heart. Elder Ye responded loudly and saluted Chen Jun solemnly. Deep down, he already regarded this courageous young man as a true commander.
As Chen Jun issued his orders, the vast state machinery began to rumble and operate in an orderly manner. Chen Jun himself strode out of the command center, standing beneath the fluttering red flag. Standing tall in the fierce wind, he resembled a god of war, radiating a commanding and heroic aura. He knew full well that he was making history for the country and rebuilding national confidence and dignity for the people.
In the wind, Chen Jun's eyes were stern, and he exuded a murderous aura. He muttered to himself indifferently, "For so many years, our ancestors have always tolerated you. It's not because we are afraid of you, but simply out of strategic and national considerations. Now, I hope you can be more tough and not be like a sea cucumber, a soft mollusk."
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Jun's blood was boiling, and he really wanted to have a good fight and experience the heroic feeling of "Blast him to pieces" like Old Li did when he appeared with a cannon.
Elsewhere, over the vast, slightly dim ocean, the petrel sobbed low, its voice choking. A dark, oppressive cloud bank hung low. Between the petrel and the clouds, two massive American aircraft carriers slowly sailed. The previous orders to advance and retreat had caused extreme physical and psychological discomfort among the officers and soldiers aboard the warships, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Many of them advocated for war, accustomed to parading their aircraft carriers around the world in awe. Now, to receive an order to retreat immediately, before even entering a hostile home, they felt deeply frustrated and filled with resentment.
Therefore, they sailed very slowly, eagerly hoping to receive an order from above to allow them to re-enter the territorial waters of Yan State. However, they waited for no order to attack, but instead... A burst of rapid alarms suddenly sounded.
In an instant, the air defense alarms on all the aircraft carriers began to beep wildly.
"Hurry, hurry! What happened?"
The deck was suddenly filled with the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the officer's stern questioning and the frantic scurrying of soldiers from various positions. Everyone panicked. After all, they had never before experienced a situation that could trigger such a threat alarm. They had always been the ones threatening others.
The two highest commanders—the Navy Commanders—quickly rushed to the command room. Just moments earlier, they'd been brazenly discussing provoking the Yan Nation on deck, boasting about the atrocities their ancestors committed there, such as murder and arson. They'd even gotten so excited that they'd even mentioned beautiful Oriental girls. And then… the alarm went off without warning.
"Commander, two fighter planes from the direction of Yan Country are chasing us at an extremely terrifying speed!" A soldier reported in panic.
"What? What kind of fighter jets did they dispatch?" The commander's eyes widened, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
"Report, they are moving too fast, our radar can't detect them at all..." The soldier's voice was obviously trembling.
"How can this be……"
The naval commander was stunned. Then, as if he had thought of something, he trembled in his voice, "Is this the fighter jet that Yan Nation recently reported? But, it can exceed Mach 4. Is this something a human can fly?"
He also followed the global reports on Yan Nation, including the Yan Nation fighter jet codenamed Fortress. Judging from the data in the communiqué, it was still more than four times the performance of their F-series and B-series. Is this possible? This is not a micro-drone, but a large fighter jet. How can a pilot fly it? How can he achieve such speed? It was this mentality that made them mention Yan Nation's bragging in their previous conversation.
Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. The other party flew a new fighter jet over their heads.
"Damn it, this can't be true. How do they fly fighter planes? Have those Yan Country pilots achieved sainthood?"
As if in response to his words, the next moment, there was a loud explosion on the sea outside, and countless water jets splashed and hit his remaining motherships. In an instant, this battle-hardened naval commander was completely in a panic. This sudden blow really scared him. Talking big doesn't mean he is ready for war.
Not only the naval commander, but all the American officers and soldiers on the warships had terrified faces, like frightened babies. Amid the explosions and on the shaking deck, some timid soldiers even knelt on the ground and prayed.
From the command room, the sound of the surging sea could be heard.
"Commander, should we open fire? All weapon systems are activated now, awaiting your order."
As soon as the words fell, a roar echoed in the command room.
"Asshole, what kind of devilish order is this? Are you mentally retarded? Don't you know how our aircraft carrier was sunk yesterday? If Yan Country's fighter planes really come, our missiles can't catch up, and they will guide our missiles to attack us."
"Launching a missile is like blowing yourself up."
The scolded staff officer was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he remembered that according to the images fed back from the satellite, their mother ship had indeed blown itself up. However, if he didn't draw his hands, would he continue to lag behind and get beaten?
"No, they're not here to bomb us, they're here to drive us away. Didn't you see they launched their missiles right in the sea near our aircraft carrier? The Yan people are trying to intimidate us and make us leave faster."
Everyone was shocked and fell silent. Is this really the case?
When facing a powerful enemy and their heads were in danger at any moment, they seemed to have lost their enthusiasm and intelligence, and each of them was as dumb as a wooden chicken.
The Navy Commander didn't want to explain his men's slow reaction. They were a bunch of idiots who were used to being arrogant. When something really happened, they wouldn't even think.
"Send the order, don't fight back, speed up, and get out of here."
