Chapter 545 An Enormous Loss

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

From dawn until now, Yurisses had received countless phone calls and held countless videoconferences. The powerful media in the United States, Congress, the Defense Department, the leaders of the state capitals, counties and cities under the jurisdiction of the United States, the Secretary of State of the United States, international human rights organizations, the United Nations, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and other countries.

Wait, wait, wait.

Yurisses was talking on the phone even at dinner.

The horse didn't stop.

It was almost Yurisses's busiest day since he was elected president of the United States.

Yurisses ' presidency is now unstable, internal and external troubles, His prestige fell to the bottom of the valley, Many of the American dignitaries who were originally close to Yurisses were intentionally or unintentionally separating themselves from him. However, in the face of the chaos, everyone reported to the President immediately. After all, Yurisses was still sitting in this position, so reporting was indispensable. Moreover, once he acted according to his orders, no matter what the final result was, Yurisses would at least be watching the biggest culprit.

Both at home and abroad have their own thoughts.

President Yurisses's grip on the U.S. And international situation has reached its lowest point.

Chaos naturally referred to the massacre of Chinese nationwide.

It had been nearly ten hours since the explosion, and it had already spread throughout the world. The headlines of all the major countries in the world were almost occupied by this news.

Massacre!

It is hard to believe that this is a word that will appear in times of peace.

Divine Continent Empire had changed its usual weak diplomatic posture and forcefully spoke up, demanding that the United States give a clear explanation on this matter.

Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the Divine Continent Empire, had even personally stepped forward.

Afterwards, the Divine Continent Empire's Foreign Ministry and Military Ministry also expressed their stance, directly expressing their determination to fight without hesitation.

The U.S. Side had been silent since the first time they demanded that the Divine Continent Empire hand over the terrorists, and it was so cold that it was almost unsympathetic.

More than half of the Chinese population in the United States had evaporated on this day, and the massacre of Chinese was continuing. However, because the target was greatly reduced, the massacre's momentum began to gradually decrease.

Yurisses's work today is largely centered around this matter, First, he forcefully dealt with the Divine Continent Empire, After that, they received a phone protest from an international human rights organization, followed by a warning from the United Nations, as well as calls from European and Asian heads of state. Some had ambiguous attitudes, while others were cautiously probing. This was indeed their own plans, but no matter what, all countries revealed an attitude, that was, they did not want a war to break out.

War...

Sitting in his office, Yurisses was a little distracted. How could he hope for war?

In the past half century, there have been several wars fought by the United States, either standing at the front desk or hiding behind the scenes. However, those wars have enormous benefits to gain. They are time-consuming, low-cost, and effective. To put it bluntly, they are military operations that are used to plunder resources.

But the Divine Continent Empire was different.

The vast empire that was only a developing country 20 years ago has now advanced into the ranks of the developed world, developing steadily, both economically and militarily, Yurisses's attitude towards the Divine Continent Empire had inherited the ideas of his predecessors. Silently suppressing and excluding them. When they felt that they needed to knock on the door, they would find something for the Divine Continent Empire to do. Treasure Island incident, fishing, islands, Huangyan Islands, South China Sea disputes, border conflicts. In Asia, the United States had too many chess pieces to use. Although it could not surround the Divine Continent Empire, it could at least play a good role in containing it.

However, in recent years, Yurisses could clearly feel that it was getting harder and harder to suppress the Divine Continent Empire with the chess pieces in his hand. The strength of the Divine Continent Empire was slowly being revealed, and it was subtly changing. Now, the conflict in the Dark World seemed to have become a flame conductor.

Was the Divine Continent Empire unable to endure it? Or do you think the time is ripe?

Yurisses did not want to start a war with the Divine Continent Empire. He wanted to start a war with a super-developed country without any benefits. He only wanted to fight for breath of air. It was simply a battle of will. But now, it seemed that the situation had gradually begun to get out of his control.

The poisoning at Gotham University, the siege in Los Angeles, the invasion of Morin base in Gotham...

Behind all of this was the initiative of the Divine Continent Empire.

This time, the other party seemed to have made it clear that they did not intend to give in any further. If the United States wanted to avoid the war, it had to bring out sufficient benefits.

What made Yurisses even more troubled was the ambiguous attitudes of the various countries. War was constantly changing. Once a conflict broke out between the two countries, no country could be trusted by Yurisses. A stronger Divine Continent Empire might not be in their interest, but an unwavering US was also not what they wanted to see.

Once a conflict breaks out between the two countries, there will be opportunities almost everywhere for other countries to reshuffle the international arena.

Yurisses casually put the cigar in his hand in the ashtray. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. When the other party got through, he calmly said, "Joseph, come to my office and find me."

He hung up the phone, closed his eyes, and waited silently.

Five minutes later, Vice President Joseph pushed open the door to the president's office and walked in, his eyes sparkling.

"Joseph, what happened in Los Angeles?"

Yurisses didn't waste his breath, He directly asked, after the death of former U.S. Defense Secretary Joseph Nindlek, Vice President Joseph was pushed to the front desk by Yurisses , Some of the presidential contenders who were hiding behind the scenes watching Yurisses deal with the mess had no objections to the temporary full authority of the Pentagon, which could be regarded as the interim secretary of defense, allowing the two clowns in their eyes to flirt around blindly.

As the highest commander of the U.S. Military, Joseph had ample sources of information on many battlefields in the country.

Joseph fell silent for a moment.

Obviously, if there was any definite information, Vice President Joseph, who was Yurisses ' confidant, would have come to report it long ago.

"There's still a stalemate."

After a moment of silence, Joseph said with difficulty, "I looked at the satellite map five minutes ago. The entire east side of San Gabriel Valley has been damaged beyond recognition. There are still four people on the other side, but they are still very stubborn and fleeing. We have already lost more than 5,000 troops in Los Angeles. Mr. President, can you imagine what that is?" There were corpses everywhere, Blood had almost dyed the east side of Saint Gabriel's Valley red, "Although there are only four people left, they are still very strong. They did not give up and are still resisting. Twenty-five people, twenty one died in less than ten hours. In exchange, more than five thousand of our soldiers were killed and wounded. Not counting some civilians, these people are all butchers and lunatics!"

Yurisses ' eyelids twitched.

Five thousand people, it might not be too much to say, But in the real world, That number of people could be said to be boundless. The loss of half a division of troops still hadn't taken care of a small team. If it was Lin Xuanyuan, he could completely accept this outcome. Even if Lin Xuanyuan's status was worthy of the loss, he was only an unknown figure in Los Angeles.

Xuanyuan Qingchen?

Yurisses had never heard of this name before today.

Losing a large number of troops in such a situation, Yurisses ' disparity in his heart instantly widened infinitely.

"Can the person who provided the information still be contacted?"

Yurisses asked.

The information provider who had most likely betrayed the Divine Continent Empire had given them the location of Xuanyuan Qingchen and the others. Apart from that, there was no other news.

"We can't get in touch with him anymore. Even if he betrays the country, he won't let us catch him."

Joseph shook his head.

"Increase the number of troops! Kill Xuanyuan Qingchen at all costs. Without increasing the losses, we can consider capturing him alive, but the losses cannot continue to increase!"

Yurisses gritted his teeth and said with a fierce expression.

Joseph nodded. He silently memorized it, Originally, he wanted to persuade Yurisses to use a large amount of special power in Federation City, but he endured it but didn't say anything. Whether this special power was used in the capital or not, it wouldn't be of much help to the battle in Los Angeles. It would take at most a few hours to get to Los Angeles from here. At that time, the war might have already ended.

"How are things going at Gotham University?"

Yurisses took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"There are more than 1,100 students poisoned. They are highly poisoned, but their doses are relatively light. Thirty-two people have died and the rest are under control. Gao Tan has sent news that they can try to save them because the doses are relatively light. I'm afraid this matter will not be known until tomorrow."

Joseph said quickly.

Yurisses nodded and picked up the ashtray's cigar and took a deep breath. "Analyze the poison's composition. It's not simple. See if there's any possibility of replication. Also, count the nationality of the dead students. Contact the embassy to compensate as much as possible. Leave this matter to the secretary of state."

Joseph nodded silently. There were too many things that had happened today. The chaos in the United States was so chaotic that it almost made people despair. His brain was not enough.

"Bang!"

Just as Yurisses was about to speak, the door to the office was directly knocked open. A high-ranking official of the Ministry of Defense rushed into the President's office and said in a panicked tone, "President, Lieutenant General Caslott..."

"What happened to Castroth?!"

Yurisses's heart sank. Legendary General Kaslott was a lieutenant general he valued very much. Although he wasn't a confidant, the relationship between the two had always been very close. After knowing that he was chasing after Lin Xuanyuan, Yurisses felt a little uneasy. Now, was the result finally coming?

"Lieutenant General Kaslott is dead."

The senior official of the Ministry of Defense gasped for breath and said in a dry tone.

"Dead..."

Yurisses felt a pain in his heart, but he wasn't surprised. It was normal for him to bring an army that wasn't luxurious to chase after Lin Xuanyuan.

He slowly sat back in his chair and was stunned.

Joseph's phone rang.

The vice president, whose mind was getting more and more confused, groaned weakly in his heart and took out the phone to connect.

Another piece of news rang out, like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Joseph staggered down and grabbed the president's desk, but his face had lost all color.

"Bastard, butcher, devil, this bunch of bastards who deserve to go to hell..."

He held the phone and kept muttering to himself like a lunatic.

"What's the matter?"

Yurisses frowned. Judging from Joseph's expression, he knew that it was bad news.

He took a deep breath and was mentally prepared.

"President, San Francisco... San Francisco has just received news that the Myers Weapons Research Institute has been ambushed. Everyone in the Institute has been annihilated..."

Joseph said, somewhat dispirited.

"The entire army was annihilated? How is that possible? How many attackers were there?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Faced with the president's questioning, Joseph's tone was stiff and mechanical as he replied, "They blew up Myers Weapons Research Institute. The Porat Industrial Zone where the Institute is located is now a complete ruin. More than 56,000 employees in the Industrial Zone are dead!"

He closed his eyes painfully, his body trembling violently, half furious and half terrified.

More than 50,000 people! ! !

Yurisses shook his body and fell heavily into the chair. His eyes turned red in an instant.

The senior officials of the Ministry of Defense were stunned.

Gotham University poisoned, Morin base attacked, Kaslott killed, Los Angeles encircled, San Francisco exploded...

Everything happened one after another.

The war between the United States and the Divine Continent Empire had yet to begin, but the prelude had already caused chaos in the United States and caused heavy losses.

Yurisses continued to breathe deeply, After gasping for breath for five minutes, However, he still couldn't suppress the tremors of anger. He stretched out his hand trembling and slammed it heavily on the table. He gritted his teeth and said, "Order the Delta Army to head to San Francisco immediately. The 75th Ranger Regiment to Gao Tan. The Marine Corps will set up defenses in all the major cities in the United States. Joseph, do it immediately!"

"Understood!"

Joseph was quick-witted and finally came to his senses amidst Yurisses's roar.

"Also, make an appointment with Adolf. I'll wait for him here."

"Alright."

Joseph nodded.

Yurisses, who was trying his best to calm his emotions, no longer trembled, but his tone became even colder. "Also, inform the Secretary of State that I want to have a video conversation with the highest leader of the Divine Continent Empire, Lin Qingtian, in fifteen minutes!"

At this moment, under the enormous loss, the supreme leader of the world's strongest nation was finally mentally prepared to completely tear his face apart.
