Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

In the command room, Major General Sean's eyes were bloodshot and his pretty good teeth were about to be bitten off by him.

The missile speedboats of the Lak country are like slippery loaches.

They were fast, had strong firepower, and were scattered in all directions, moving from one location to another after each shot, giving the United States no chance to hit them at all.

Cruise missiles can easily destroy missile boats, provided they can lock onto them.

The attack broke out late at night, and the United States always maintained a arrogant attitude.

More than 20 large surface ships gathered in the same area, making it difficult to cover all of them during the movement.

In contrast, the missile speedboats of the Lak country have a small displacement tonnage, flexible speed, and can attack in any way they want. They even dare to shuttle attacks between two large warships.

As the number of US warships on fire increased, beads of sweat appeared on Major General Sean's head.

The operations staff and officers at all levels no longer know what words to use to describe their current feelings.

If the enemy before them was the Soviet Union, everyone would be able to accept the fact that they were being defeated by the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, the enemy is Latin America, a small country in the region that the United States has never taken seriously.

Abdul has claimed for years that Iraq is the third most powerful military country in the world.

Such nonsense can only fool small countries.

To the United States, Latin America is just a clown.

The reason why Abdul's provocation was ignored was because Abdul still had some value to him.

Once Abdul's usefulness disappears completely, the United States will be able to bring him down from the clouds in a matter of minutes.

"It's that big. The Americans have their advantages, and we have our opportunities too!"

General Aziz showed a hideous smile on his face.

I held in the anger for a few days and let it all out tonight.

The US aircraft carrier battle group is under attack from all sides. It is like a bloated giant with infinite strength all over its body. It can even smash a mountain with one punch.

Unfortunately, they were unable to do anything to the missile speedboat fleet of the Lak country.

The battle of the First Aircraft Carrier was completely stunned, and General Aziz even saw two US frigates collide with each other.

Although there were no casualties, he still felt proud.

US warships are like ants on a hot pan. Is this the maritime power of a superpower?

General Aziz smiled coldly and said, "Boys, keep fighting. Use up all the anti-ship missiles. We want to let the Americans know that our country of Latvia is not easy to bully!"

"Whoever can sink a US warship will be rewarded handsomely by the Commander!!!"

The third and fourth rounds of attacks are still going on.

The U.S. carrier-based aircraft successfully destroyed nearly thirty missile boats, but the remaining dozens of missile boats still showed no signs of retreat.

Although the Lak country dares to fight to the death, Major General Sean will not really fight with the Lak country to the end.

"retreat!"

After several minutes of psychological struggle, Major General Sean finally gave the order to retreat.

He knew that doing so would ruin his reputation and make him a laughing stock in the U.S. military.

But if we don't retreat, the situation will get out of control.

The United States could accept being defeated by the Soviet Navy.

We will never accept the fact that our warships were sunk by the Lak Navy.

There is nothing shameful about a strong person being defeated by a stronger person. It can only be said that he is slightly inferior.

Go back and recuperate, you will have a chance to take revenge someday.

If one of my warships is sunk by the Rak country, not only will President Reagan not forgive me, but the American people will also eat me up.

The superpower was badly beaten by a small regional country and lost more than one warship.

No, absolutely not!

Major General Sean wiped the cold sweat from his head and ordered the warships to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

Once out of the battlefield, accelerate towards the country of Turkey.

Turkey is the United States' largest ally in the desert region and also the country with the strongest navy in the desert world.

In a little while, it will be daybreak.

Turkey will send warships to support the first aircraft carrier battle group.

At that time, the Lak Navy would definitely not dare to continue the pursuit.

Seeing that the American troops wanted to escape, General Aziz immediately ordered to abandon the fearless pursuit.

Focus on attacking the already damaged cruiser.

Rumble…

After suffering multiple rounds of attacks, the cruiser exploded again.

Flames shot straight into the sky and the missile cruiser was shrouded in black smoke.

Major General Sean's face turned pale and he sat down in the captain's chair.

Finished!

The goddess of luck did not favor her in the end, and the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group lost a large warship.

At this moment, the command room was as quiet as a morgue.

A large number of US naval officers were sweating profusely and their hands were shaking constantly.

Since the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy has never suffered such heavy losses again.

Nor has it ever been humiliated by a small country at sea!

When the news reached the United States, the cabinet was in an uproar.

The first order issued by President Reagan was not to declare war on the country of Lak, nor to send more troops for retaliation.

Block the news.

No cabinet member raised any objection to this.

The most urgent task is indeed to block the news.

It is by no means a glorious thing for a giant to be bullied by ants.

The United States is currently plagued by economic problems and high unemployment. Once the public knows that the aircraft carrier battle group it is so proud of has suffered a disastrous defeat, the anger will burn President Reagan and his cabinet members to ashes.

"Mr. President, the Rak State has held a press conference, and the villain Abdul has personally disclosed the battle!"

An hour later, a bolt from the blue struck Commander Reagan.

While the United States was busy blocking the news and discussing countermeasures, Latin America was the first to release the news.

The cabinet members and military generals in the conference room were all gritting their teeth in hatred.

Request President Reagan to go to Congress immediately and obtain authorization to declare war on the country of Lak.

“Abdul…Abdul has taken our expatriates hostage!”

As President Reagan was preparing to give a speech to Congress, new bad news arrived.

Abdul sent troops to arrest a large number of Americans living in Lak.

In addition to Americans, dozens of citizens from European countries were also arrested.

President Reagan stood there in a daze. What on earth did Abdul want to do?

First they opened fire on the US aircraft carrier battle group, and then kidnapped a large number of foreign expatriates.

Does this bastard know how to write the word death?

A general said viciously: "Mr. President, Abdul wants to be the second Persia. He knows better than anyone what will happen if he attacks our aircraft carrier battle group. He is afraid of our retaliation and uses our overseas Chinese as a shield."

"Sir, we should immediately send out special forces to rescue our expatriates. We must not let the situation get any worse."

"The hostage crisis in Persia led to the collapse of the previous cabinet. If we don't handle this well, we will repeat the same mistake."

"Damn it! All the Lak people should go to hell."
