Chapter 240 We Must Subdue the Enemy Without Fighting

Lin Mo grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"There should be some connection."

"I just took a stroll on the seabed and dismantled the rudders and propellers of their 'Queen Elizabeth' and 'Charles de Gaulle' ships."

The command center fell silent.

Everyone seemed to be put on pause, staring blankly at the young face on the screen.

Demolished...demolished?

To dismantle the rudders and propellers of two 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers...?

one second.

two seconds.

"Haha...hahahahahaha!"

General Liu burst into a hearty laugh.

"Good job! Well done, lad!!"

Good heavens!!!

"Awesome!!!"

After a brief silence, the entire command center was erupted in cheers!

The staff officers were so excited that their faces turned red. The previous tension and repression vanished, leaving only ecstasy!

No wonder!

No wonder those two aircraft carriers are stuck and unable to move!

No wonder the US fleet was bombarding the sea like mad dogs!

It turns out someone had groped her at home and even broke her leg!

"Should we strike while the iron is hot and finish him off?" Lin Mo's eyes gleamed with excitement on the screen.

"Now their formation is in disarray, their morale is completely shattered, this is the perfect opportunity for us to counterattack!"

One sentence instantly calmed General Liu down from his euphoria.

He was tempted.

As a soldier, it is instinctive to beat a dog when it's down, and it's also a military achievement!

But he knew even better that if this battle were to break out, it would have far-reaching consequences.

He took a deep breath.

"Wait, this matter is too complicated. I need to consult Number Two."

Soon, the composed face of the Second Leader appeared on the split screen.

After listening to the detailed reports from General Liu and Lin Mo, the Second Chief smiled happily, but he quickly shook his head.

"We can't fight."

His voice wasn't loud, but it silenced both Lin Mo and General Liu.

"War is for profit."

The Second Chief looked at Lin Mo and General Liu and slowly spoke.

"The interests of the United States lie in our controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductors."

"What about our interests? We sink them all here, and then what?"

"Their nuclear submarines are all around you. Once they launch a nuclear strike, triggering nuclear coercion among nations, the whole world will suffer."

"We still have hundreds of millions of compatriots living on the surface, our underground cities are not yet fully built, and there is only one World Tree, which cannot support the future of everyone."

"We need more time."

He looked at Lin Mo, his tone becoming earnest and earnest.

"Now, we have you, we have Terra, and we have technological achievements that are ahead of their time."

"In just a few years, we will have an unstoppable leap forward in science and technology."

"By then, with a strong nation, we can obtain everything we desire without firing a single shot."

"Those countries wouldn't dare bare their teeth at us!"

"This is what you call subduing the enemy without fighting!"

His words were like a wake-up call.

In the command center, everyone fell silent. The initial boiling passion subsided, transforming into a deeper and more confident strength.

Lin Mo nodded in sincere agreement.

"I understand. You have a long-term vision. I'll let those kids off the hook for now."

After hanging up the communication with Number Two, Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at General Liu on the screen and said wearily:

"General Liu, could you please send a ship to pick me up...?"

"I...I really can't run anymore."

From the moment he entered the sea until now, he has been running on his two legs for seven or eight hours at a depth of nearly a thousand meters. Even a person made of iron could not withstand that.

"The meritorious official is tired, we must take over!" General Liu was taken aback, then laughed heartily, and readily grabbed the communication microphone to start making arrangements.

.......

Not far beneath the surface of the sea, a colossal steel beast silently approached.

It is an attack nuclear submarine in the "Wolfpack" sequence.

Under General Liu's personal command, the Hunter, which was originally patrolling the edge of the battlefield, changed course and came specifically to welcome its only passenger.

Lin Mo controlled the Pangu mecha, confirmed the command, and the massive mecha climbed directly onto the submarine's broad back.

When the six-meter-tall steel giant secured itself to the submarine in a "lying flat" position, Lin Mo in the cockpit finally relaxed.

And so, right under the noses of navies worldwide, a Great Xia nuclear submarine, carrying a super mech unlike anything the world had ever heard of, stealthily made its way toward the Antarctic base.

After arriving at the base, Lin Mo boarded a transport plane bound for the Arctic base.

After returning to the underground city of New Kyoto in the Arctic, Lin Mo was finally "pushed" out of the Pangu mecha, changed into a set of dry clothes, and lay on a soft medical bed.

"Sir, your health data is all normal, but you are a little overworked."

The doctor from the New Hope Project medical team packed up the testing equipment and left, and a New Hope Project staff member handed him a tablet computer.

"This is a 'battle report' that was specially approved for you by Chief No. 2."

Lin Mo took the tablet, and a video window popped up on the screen.

In the footage, the spokesperson for the United States' foreign ministry, with veins bulging on his neck and his face flushed, roared angrily in front of the world's media.

"We strongly condemn this barbaric and irresponsible provocation by the Great Xia Navy!"

"They brazenly rammed and sank our cruiser 'Antiy'!"

"And they used some kind of despicable underwater attack weapon to attack our two aircraft carriers!"

"This is a blatant act of war! A flagrant violation of world peace!"

The scene shifts to the spokesperson of the Great Xia Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who walks calmly and with a smile on his face onto the stage.

"We deeply regret the unfortunate fate of the Antiy."

"However, according to navigation data, it was your ship that 'went out of control' and deliberately collided with our ship, which was lawfully patrolling within our territorial waters, resulting in the sinking."

He paused, glanced around at all the reporters, and his smile widened.

"As for the so-called 'underwater attack,' that's utter nonsense."

"We urge certain countries to use their limited imagination at press conferences instead of spending more money on sailor training and routine ship maintenance to prevent similar 'out-of-control' accidents from happening again."

"Of course, if you insist that you have been attacked, please provide evidence."

"Daxia is a reasonable country. As long as there is evidence, we will never shirk our responsibility."

"Pfft..." Lin Mo burst out laughing.

evidence?

The way the Pangu mech used Zheng Jin's battle sword to cut through the attack would lead the Americans to only one conclusion even if they turned their aircraft carrier upside down and examined it under a microscope—their ship had been attacked by unknown technology.

Who would believe that if I told them?

It would only expose the weakness of its aircraft carrier at this time, making it a target of Great Xia and even a laughing stock of the whole world.
