United States,

White House,

The atmosphere in the Oval Office was as depressing as the sky before a storm.

President Eisenhower sat in front of a large desk with a frown on his face, tapping the table rhythmically but slightly irritably with his fingers.

Secretary of State Dulles paced back and forth in his office.

Defense Secretary Wilson stood by the window with a serious expression, looking into the distance through the glass, as if looking for the answer to this dilemma.

Eisenhower was the first to break the silence, his voice low and tired: "Gentlemen, we must face up to the current war situation with Haizhou. The news from the front is getting worse and worse, and our troops there are in a very passive position."

Dulles stopped, sighed and said, "Mr. President, today, Greece officially announced its withdrawal from NATO. It is the second country to withdraw from NATO after Turkey yesterday. Greek Foreign Minister Pros sent me a telegram saying that this was a helpless move. Every day, Greece suffers from at least 300 bomber sorties, as well as artillery attacks and cruise missiles from warships. Greece's economic losses have reached 100 billion US dollars. He also specifically said that Greece did not receive any support from US military aircraft!"

Defense Secretary Wilson said helplessly,

"The gap in strength is too great. If our six aircraft carrier battle groups in the Mediterranean go to war, the result will certainly be annihilation. By then, I think the next plan for Haizhou will be to land on the US mainland!"

Eisenhower asked,

"Why is the gap so big now? All four carrier battle groups of our Seventh Fleet were destroyed, but we didn't even destroy a single carrier of the enemy!"

Wilson turned around and said seriously,

"Mr. President, I estimate that Haizhou's military expenditure is ten times ours. According to intelligence, Haizhou has about 1000 strategic bombers, while we only have more than 100. We have less than 1500 supersonic fighters, while the other side has about !

In addition, we are also lagging behind in missile technology. When our missile cruisers were still in the testing stage, Haizhou State had already equipped them with ships in large quantities!

Commander Pride of the Seventh Fleet reported to me that almost every one of their four aircraft carrier battle groups encountered attacks from thousands of missiles from the Haizhou Kingdom. They simply had too many missiles!

This reflects a problem, that is, our armaments are far behind our opponents in quality and quantity! If we continue to fight, our armaments will be greatly damaged and the morale of the soldiers will continue to decline. If we continue to fail like this, our losses will become greater and greater, and the domestic people will begin to question and be dissatisfied with this war. "

Eisenhower put his head in his hands and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing helplessness.

"This time, we really tried our best, even using nuclear weapons, but we were intercepted by the enemy. Our bombers couldn't even reach the mainland of Haizhou!"

Wilson said,

"Speaking of nuclear weapons, our scientists are creating a new weapon, a ballistic missile that can hit the mainland of Haizhou from Hawaii! This weapon can carry a nuclear warhead. I think only this weapon can give us hope of victory!"

When Dulles heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

“When can it be made?”

"They told me it would take at least one to two years!"

Eisenhower sighed, "It seems that we cannot win this war at all. Continuing to fight will only plunge the United States into a deeper crisis, both militarily and politically."

Dulles nodded slightly and continued, "We should stop the loss in time and seek a way to compromise. Perhaps we can use diplomatic means to negotiate with Haizhou State and strive to reach an agreement acceptable to both sides to prevent the situation from further deteriorating."

Wilson agreed: "Yes, Mr. President. This is the wisest choice at the moment. We can make concessions on some non-core interests in exchange for peace and preserve our strength."

Eisenhower took a deep breath and said slowly, "Then let's decide. We will convey our wishes to Haizhou State and seek compromise. Gentlemen, it's up to you now. You must strive for a relatively favorable result for the United States."

Bombing, shelling,

The attack on Yokohama,

It lasted all night.

Start at 9:00 a.m.

Under the command of Army Chief of Staff Major General Hou Zhuangzhuang,

The ground forces of the Maritime Alliance officially launched the offensive.

The first route goes north, consisting of the 1st Brigade of the Haizhou Army, the 1st Division of Indonesia, the 2nd Division, and the 3rd Division, with a direct target of Tokyo!

The second route goes westward, consisting of the 2nd Brigade of the Haizhou Army, the 1st Division of the Philippines, the 4th Division, the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment of Sri Lanka, and the 1st Armored Brigade of Malaysia, with the target facing Kanagawa!

Yin Xinjun gave this ground offensive operation a code name, called "Broken Jade!", because the Japanese devils always like to die with jade, and this time, I will fulfill your wish and let you break into pieces!

In this operation, the coalition ground forces deployed a total of 1850 people, 9600 armored vehicles and trucks, and 1120 aircraft!

For this operation, Haizhou State took out almost all the supplies in the war reserve warehouse.

There are 1750 million artillery shells of various types alone!

The troops were like a long dragon made of steel, majestic and indestructible. Tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and other vehicles were closely arranged, like a steel torrent, converging into a powerful force. Each vehicle shone with metallic light, revealing unparalleled majesty and power.

Following an order, the long dragon of steel began to move slowly, one after another, driving out of the camp and heading towards the target. The wheels rolled, the engines roared, and the whole scene was deafening, as if the earth was shaking.

At the same time, in the sky above, the fighter planes of Haizhou Kingdom were rushing forward like a group of nimble falcons.

They streaked across the sky, leaving behind white trails that intertwined in the air like silver chains. The deafening roar of the fighter planes' engines, intertwined with the sound of the ground troops marching, formed a soul-stirring symphony.

After Operation Broken Jade began,

The elite navy of Haizhou State was deployed in full force.

"The crying Tokyo!", "Qi Jiguang!", "Wen Tianxiang!" The aircraft carrier battle group rushed to Hokkaido.

"Tiezhuo!", "Jinlong!", "Suwu!" The aircraft carrier battle group rushed to the Kobe-Nagoya line in the southern waters of Japan!

"The Falling Sun Flag!", "Guan Yu!", "Bai Qi!", "Han Signal!" The aircraft carrier battle group rushed to the Korean Strait!

A total of 10 aircraft carrier battle groups and 373 ships of various types were dispatched, closing the entire Japanese coastal area to external sea traffic!
