1583 I Need a Name
"We were attacked..."
Mr. Trueman looked into the camera, his unkempt hair making him look haggard.
There was also a suppressed anger in his eyes, but he didn't show it in other ways.
He didn't scream hysterically, or walk around angrily while slapping the table. He just stared at the camera calmly and angrily, as if he were staring at the Penteo people.
The plain, even not very high-pitched voice contains a deep power that can shock people's hearts.
He blinked, "Our freighter, sailors, and four warships lost track in the Eastern Ocean. Then the Pengeo Empire sneak attacked the port of Nagaril without declaring war, causing extremely heavy damage. casualties and losses.”
"According to some preliminary statistics we have obtained so far, in this series of attacks, we have suffered a total loss of nearly 900 million in property damage, and about 2,000 people have lost their lives or are missing."
"This is the most serious attack the Federation has ever suffered, and it is also the first time that we have been so completely injured!"
"We have been vigilant, thinking, and considering how and when war will break out."
"We didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. The enemy had already made a plan, but we didn't know anything!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky, his voice filled with firm power!
"They just attacked our fleet, attacked our ports, and maybe there was some other bad news that didn't come through, and then they declared war on us."
"They were trying to confuse something and it was a shameful, pathetic sneak attack!"
"We will not be silent!"
"Those dead souls are roaring!"
"I declare that from this moment on, the country will enter a state of total war, and we will declare war on Pengeo and all its dependent countries at the same time!"
"They want war and destruction, then we give them war and destruction!"
"The debt of blood needs to be repaid with blood!"
"Let them go to hell to repent under fire and death for the stupidest thing they have ever done in their lives!!"
"The Federation will win!"
"Justice will prevail!"
The entire federation is boiling!
Subsequently, various federal departments began to operate at high speed and efficiency. After the President delivered a national address, Congress urgently authorized the president's supreme power and agreed to enter a state of war.
Immigration began clearing out aliens who were not qualified but were still trying to stay in the Commonwealth, and were put on ships and deported.
The Taxation Bureau and the Financial Supervisory Commission began to investigate companies with capital involvement from the above countries and capital flows with the above countries.
Many people were invited to assist in the investigation, and some of the affected stocks were suspended pending the results of the investigation.
In fact, at this moment, all the capital that has not yet been withdrawn will be embezzled by the Federation.
In fact, war has never been divided into justice or injustice. Its only purpose is that those who initiate the war hope to use it to realize some of their own demands.
Whether these demands are reasonable or unreasonable, there is essentially no difference.
Because when others bow their heads, it must not be voluntarily from the heart, but in a situation of defeat.
Therefore, neither the federal government nor the capitalists hesitate to seize, confiscate, and auction the assets of these foreigners.
At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense's policy towards Mariro has also undergone some changes. The previous policy was biased towards leniency.
But now not only did the war break out, but Marillo's troops were also shelled.
Although there is no clear evidence so far that these shelling incidents are related to Pengeo, these are of no significance to the federation that has entered a state of war.
The federal government says that you are connected, and you are connected. No one and no one cares about your opinions and ideas!
The Ministry of Defense's instructions to the garrison troops in Marillo are:
Suppress all unstable factors as soon as possible!
As for what the Marillos think?
The entire federation united closely with the declaration of war, forming a terrifying force. At the same time, Mr. President, who returned to the office of the Presidential Palace, was thinking about a problem.
How come you can take revenge right away!
It was not Mr. Trueman's habit to be passively beaten. He could not wait to inflict the same or even more terrible pain on the Penteo man.
He also raised this issue directly.
"We need to carry out a retaliatory attack on the Pengeo people in a short period of time. The scale cannot be too small. We must let people see our attitude!"
"What do you think is the best place to start?"
The room was almost entirely filled with officials from the Ministry of Defense, which would establish a temporary headquarters at the Presidential Palace as the state of war began.
The main job of this command is to synchronize some important information from the Ministry of Defense. If the president or the cabinet has their own ideas about some of the information, they can also inform the Ministry of Defense of their decisions.
If they have no objection to the way the Department of Defense handles the matter, then they will follow the Department of Defense's approach.
The officers in the office now are all members of the temporary command.
It is led by a Navy Lieutenant General and two Air Force Major Generals, forming a complete but smallest command team.
Mr. President's question immediately started the brains of these officers, and soon they had some ideas, but these ideas.
Like intercepting the merchant ships of passing hostile forces on the sea, and conducting long-range attacks on the ports of these hostile forces.
These methods cannot be said to be bad ideas, but they are not good enough, at least not enough to make those people realize what kind of country they have messed with!
These proposals were all rejected by the President. Just when everyone had no better ideas, the phone in front of the President suddenly rang.
Extraordinary channel call.
After speaking publicly, Mr. Trueman turned off the power to ordinary telephones.
In this era, phones still require a separate external power supply. Turning off the power means that the phone will never ring unless it is powered again.
He knew very well that after declaring a state of war, many people would definitely call, and he did not want to waste time explaining to these people again and again why he did what he did and why it was necessary.
Let those people go to hell. They should watch the replay more carefully and find the answers they need instead of bothering the president with phone calls.
But the phone ringing now was no ordinary phone, which meant that only someone with a very good relationship with Mr. Trueman could call.
He waited for the phone to ring three times and on the fourth. Picked up the phone.
His expression changed somewhat as the voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, I have declared war on them..."
"Are you planning to come back soon?"
"Honestly, it might be a little dangerous over there!"
The call was from Lynch. He got the news as soon as the port of Nagalier was attacked.
He had called Mr. Trueman before, but he was giving a speech and the call was not connected.
Fortunately it's connected now.
Lynch was not neurotic about the "security" issues Mr. Trueman talked about, nor did he express his fear of death. He immediately stated that he had arranged a boat and would return to the Federation after hanging up the phone.
The Pengeo people landed from the easternmost part of Nagaril, which was still hundreds of kilometers away from Lynch. He had enough time to leave there.
He just called to ask what the current situation was and whether the federal government had any plans to send reinforcements to Nagaril.
After listening to Lynch calmly finish what he wanted to ask, Mr. Trueman's mood calmed down a lot.
Lynch was not anxious at all, let alone fearful. His calmness served the purpose of calming the president's mood!
"The First Fleet will pass by soon, and the army will land in Nagalir later."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly ended the topic and asked instead, "I want to ask you a question..."
Lin Qi's tone was still so calm, as if nothing could disrupt his mood, "Please tell me!"
"If I plan to take revenge on the Pengeo people now, immediately, right away, do you think there is any good way?"
"It's best to make them..." Mr. President searched for some words in his mind, "...you know, make them feel pain, pain to the bone!"
Lynch's voice changed a bit, becoming more relaxed, with a tone that reminded people of his smiling face at this time.
"Why don't we just bomb their homeland?"
"The Midway project was built for these strategic missions. We can take off from the mainland, resupply through the various islands of the Midway project, and finally bomb directly over Pengeo."
"I believe this will make them feel far more frightened than our fleet blocking their coastline and bombarding their cities!"
Mr. Trueman was stunned for a moment, and then a surprise appeared on his face that only soldiers could understand!
"Your opinion is really great. I still have something to do. Please come back as soon as possible. We will talk after you come back..."
Mr. Trueman hung up the phone as he spoke. He raised his head and looked at the officers, "Inform the Air Force and move all available bombers. We want to give the Pengeo people some surprises!"
He gave a few simple explanations, and all the officers and generals looked surprised and surprised!
Taking off from the mainland, crossing the entire Eastern Ocean, and then bombing over Pengeo!
Everyone knows exactly what this means!
Someone asked: "Mr. President, we need a code name for this operation!"
Mr. Trueman thought for a moment.
"Just call it..."
