Chapter 358: Fatal Weakness

After sinking seven cargo ships, "City of Starry Sky" once again emphasized that it would destroy all the ships that attempted to hit the *** line. With the bloody reality of the previous seven cargo ships, no aircraft or ships in Australia dared to hit the *** line.

All major airports in Australia are crowded with people who want to leave Australia. Unfortunately, all flights from Australia have been suspended, and they have no way to leave Australia, a place of right and wrong.

Australia's port docks were also crowded with people who wanted to leave here by boat, and no ship dared to risk being sunk to carry these people away.

The sea and air channel has been blocked, and all personnel cannot leave Australia. At the Australian harbor, there are already a variety of mineral resources waiting to be transported and exported. If these mineral resources cannot be transported and exported in time, it will be fatal to Australian companies. Just because they cannot pay the high liquidated damages accompanied by the goods in time, their companies will lose their business.

So these companies were feeling uncomfortable, and they were immersed in the torment of life and death all day long. They even had the intention to transport these mineral resources even at the risk of their lives. They did not believe that the small "Starry City" could completely live in all sea and air channels in Australia.

Although these companies have already made plans to risk their lives, no cargo ship is willing to risk their lives to help them transport mineral resources. Now even the fishing boats that fish in the offshore waters dare not go out to sea again. These fishing boats have long heard of the cruel and evil deeds of "Starry City" to deal with the Philippine fishing boats. Now they have witnessed their own eyes the firm attitude of "Starry City" to sink the cargo ships. They were unknowingly frightened by the tough attitude of "Starry City" and no longer dared to go out to sea to fish at this sensitive time.

The "City of Starry Sky" decided to siege Australia, and Australia immediately suffered huge economic losses. Now not only can their domestic mineral resources be transported out for money, but even the necessary goods from Australia cannot be transported from outside. All ships transporting goods to Australia are far away from this dangerous sea area, for fear of being sunk by the "City of Starry Sky".

Not only can Australia not be transported out, but the flow of people is gradually stagnating. If this continues, then Australia's economy will completely collapse like the Philippines.

Once Australia's economy collapses, the "Starry City" will win without fighting and easily get the results they want. And after facing the reality of a sharp decline in living standards, domestic people will definitely rise up and rebel, and then oust this Australian government.

"City of Starry Sky" is very scheming. This time, the Australian sea and air channel operation was very fast. It started within 30 hours after the looting and burning incident. In such a short time, the US government, a solid ally of Australia, had not reacted at all. The US Congress was still holding meetings to discuss, but the party in the United States was too serious. After continuous meetings and quarrels, they could not come up with a solution to the Australian crisis. They just came out to express their different opinions after the cargo ship in the Australian waters was sunk.

The lightning action of "Starry City" caused the United States, a country that emphasizes democratic votes, to lose its previous quick response, and created the fait accompli of "Starry City" to the Australian sea and air channel.

Australia, which has been accused of "Starry City", has no way to deal with it in the face of the fierce attack of the fierce "Starry City". In addition, they have been unable to wait for the support of the United States in the actual sense, so in such a time when no one can see clearly the future development, the Australian leaders' hearts began to become cold.

After the Australian military took the initiative to attack after its own sea and air channel was defeated by the "Starry City" and wanted to eliminate all the planes of the "Starry City" that were passed through their sea and air channel. However, although their air force was equipped with advanced aircraft like the US military, it still had more than one generation difference from the "Starry City" aircraft.

After the Australian Air Force chose to attack, it was impossible to find the planes of the "Starry City" hiding along the way. However, when these planes were about to approach the actual line of the "Starry City", a fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of their plane. This fire dragon passed by two hundred meters in front of their plane, scaring the Australians on the plane pale.

Because these Australians had seen it at such a close distance, a series of shells just flew past their plane. But they didn't know who was attacking them except that they knew that these shells were fired from the sky above their heads, because there was nothing in the sky ahead. Looking at the attack route just now, it was obvious that they were warning them, otherwise, the fire dragon of the shell would be hit and crashed as soon as the shell was shaken slightly.

Then, a communication request was suddenly received on these planes. The communication was issued by "Starry City". In this communication, "Starry City" warned these Australian pilots that their planes were about to enter the *** line and asked them to return immediately. Otherwise, once they entered the *** line range, they would be destroyed immediately. The shells fired just now were just warnings, and they would not be so polite if they were later.

These planes immediately reported what they encountered, and then they received the order to return. So the planes immediately turned around and began to return. The moment they started to return, these Australian pilots felt relieved. The dangerous situation that you could not see others but could attack you made them feel scared. Now leaving there is like leaving the gates of hell.

After the Australian plane attacking in the sky was blocked and returned, the Australian warships that were tempted on the sea surface were also blocked from the air. After several electromagnetic cannon shells hit the sea water next to the warships, the violent explosion caused the warships to bump up and down, left and right, they also received a warning from "City of Starry Sky". So after asking for instructions from the rear, they began to return in shame and return to the Australian military port.

After Australia's test of the "Starry City" line failed, Australian planes and ships no longer dared to appear near the line.

On the fourth day of "Starry City" beginning to Australia, the US Congress, which has been quarreling, finally stopped the quarrels due to the sinister situation facing Australia, and was about to reach an aid plan.

At the White House, in the president's company, several people were sitting at the table discussing the crisis facing Australia.

"Mr. President, the situation is now very urgent and you need to make a decision immediately." said the new secretary of state.

"How are they discussing?" asked the black president who had just taken office.

"There seems to be a consensus among Congress and decided to send troops to help Australia, jointly fight against the "City of Stars" and maintain the balance of regional power." The female secretary of state said.

"General Vicci, what level of chance do you think if we send troops to help Australia?" The black president began to consult with the new Secretary of Defense.

"Mr. President, please be honest. If we are ready to use military means to intervene in the conflict between "Starry City" and Australia, then we in the United States will have no chance of winning." General Vicci said.

"General Vicci, why do you say that?" asked the black president.

"Mr. President, you also know that the United States is no longer the United States five years ago. After experiencing the small war with "Starry City" in the Middle East, we not only lost two fully equipped aircraft carrier formations, but also lost a large number of combat aircraft and trained combat personnel in the Gulf region. After this war, our U.S. military strength began to show a downward process from its peak." General Vicci said.

The people in the room listened carefully to the Secretary of Defense analyzing the US military strength, and they were also extremely worried about the decline in the US's strength.

"What really hit the decline of our U.S. national strength was the super earthquake that happened in Los Angeles the previous year. In that super earthquake, not only did the entire Los Angeles area be completely destroyed, but the number of deaths was counted at 100,000. Our U.S. economy was also very damaged in such a super earthquake, and all economic data began to decline sharply. If we want to restore economic indicators to before the earthquake, we will need at least ten years of rest and recuperation. Although we still maintain the title of the world's number one economic power on the surface, in fact, our comprehensive national strength has dropped to a very dangerous level. Our national strength can no longer allow us to continue to maintain the status of world hegemony." General Vic continued.

"If it weren't for the force deterrence influence we formed over the years, those strategic competitors that have been suppressed by us would have long risen to challenge our authority, and we, the United States, would have no way to deal with this situation." General Vic said heavy.

The people in the room were a little depressed. After years of hard work, they finally grasped the highest power of the United States. But suddenly they found that what they took over was just a mess, which was far from as glorious as it seemed.

"General Vicky means that even if Congress makes a resolution to interfere with Australia by force, it actually has no chance of winning for us. Is this the case?" the black president asked unwillingly.

"Yes, if we talk about it from the perspective of weapons alone, our American weapons and equipment have begun to lag behind the "Starry City". What we already know now is that the "Starry City" is equipped with laser weapons, and they also have a huge mysterious aircraft. This mysterious aircraft is completely invisible. No matter it is radar or optical instruments, their existence cannot be observed. This mysterious aircraft may also be equipped with more terrifying electromagnetic gun weapons. In addition, we also suspect that the "Starry City" already has a large submarine capable of carrying manned people in the deep sea, and this large deep sea submarine will be used to meet the needs of the "Starry City".

Our strategic defense space is a major test. Not only that, we also believe that "Starry City" has been equipped with some other mysterious weapons, or that they are studying more advanced weapon systems. Whether it is weapons that have appeared or possible weapons, we in the United States do not have weapons that can counter these weapons. If things really develop to the point where we go to war with "Starry City", then we can only hope that their weapons are very scarce, and we can use human sea tactics to eliminate the role of these weapons." General Vic said.

"General Vicci, are you saying that we, the United States, have no way to deal with "Starry City"?" the female secretary of state said with a frown.

"Among our conventional weapons in the United States, there is indeed no way to deal with the mysterious weapons that "Starry City" have been equipped. If we want to deal with "Starry City" and uproot them, then we can only use our ultimate weapon..." General Vic said coldly.

"Are you talking about using nuclear weapons?" The black president's heart thumped.

If nuclear weapons can be used to kill "City of Stars", then the United States will still be the dominant one in the world, and no one can shake the leadership of the United States. If we can also obtain the high-tech of "City of Stars", then the United States' status as a superpower in decades will be as stable as a rock. As a black president, he will surely be recorded in American historical records and be admired by future generations.

"The "City of Stars" is equipped with laser weapons that can shoot down missile attacks we launch from any angle, so our nuclear weapons cannot be thrown over the head of "City of Stars"." General Vic said.

The black president, who was already active, was suddenly disappointed after hearing this sentence, but General Vic immediately continued: "However, based on our computer deduction, we discovered a fatal weakness of "City of Stars". If we can make good use of this weakness, then we can still kill the entire "City of Stars".

The black president and the female secretary of state's eyes lit up at the same time and asked, "What are the fatal weaknesses of "City of Stars"?"

General Vic said: "Although the "City of Stars" seems extremely huge and has strict guarding, it is floating on the sea and they have no foundation. Although our direct attack on nuclear weapons will be destroyed by all laser weapons, we can use the weakness of "City of Stars" without foundation to deal with him."

The black president asked anxiously: "General Vicci, please hurry up and say, how can we deal with "Starry City"!"

General Vicci said: "Although our nuclear bombs cannot be thrown over the head of "Starry City", we can send strategic nuclear submarines to lurk 200 kilometers away from "Starry City", and then detonate several large-scale nuclear weapons two hundred kilometers away. As long as we calculate properly and choose the explosion location reasonably, even if the shock wave of the nuclear weapon explosion cannot harm "Starry City", the super tsunami caused by the nuclear explosion will sweep away and completely destroy the "Starry City". At that time, even if "Starry City" has the defense of laser weapons and electromagnetic cannons, it will not be able to deal with the power of nature."

The black president and the female secretary of state looked at each other, and their hearts began to be beating quickly because they finally found a way to completely eliminate the "City of Stars".

The black president suddenly asked a question: "General Vicky, if the "Starry City" also has nuclear weapons, if they find that we use nuclear weapons to attack them and they also fire nuclear weapons at us, with their fighter jets that can completely stealth, they can throw nuclear weapons on the top of our White House. How can we deal with that time?"

General Vicci shrugged and said, "Mr. President, the starting point of the method I just made is that "City of Stars" does not have nuclear bombs, and there is no ability to counter us immediately to work. No matter how much the losses caused by conventional weapons are, we can still bear them. However, if the other party also has nuclear bombs in his hands, then a terrifying balance will be formed, and my method will have no meaning."

The US president suddenly became quiet. He asked the new director of Cia who was sitting next to him but had not made any noise: "Have you noticed any signs of "Starry City" possessing nuclear weapons."

Director Cia said: "Mr. President, based on our long-term monitoring of "Starry City", we have not found any signs of nuclear tests on "Starry City". Moreover, the details of several nuclear tests that have occurred in the world are within our control and have nothing to do with "Starry City". In addition, our suppression of the international arms black market, "Starry City" cannot obtain nuclear weapons from these places. Therefore, from the current intelligence analysis, "Starry City" has not only not carried out the development of nuclear weapons, nor has it obtained nuclear weapons from other channels."

The Secretary of State asked: "If we do not undergo nuclear explosion tests, can we develop nuclear weapons?"

Director Cia said: "It is impossible to create nuclear weapons without nuclear tests. After all, no one can know whether there is any effect without experimentally verified nuclear weapons. It is impossible for "City of Starry Sky" to do such a stupid thing."

The US President and Secretary of State looked at each other, and a satisfied smile appeared in their eyes.

The US President said: "General Vicci, you can come up with a combat plan based on what you just thought. Once we have obtained permission to use force for "Starry City", your combat plan may come in handy."
