In the secret command room of the Governor's Mansion, Nicholson was anxiously waiting for news from the special forces.

The communicator suddenly rushed in, his face pale.

"Report to the Governor! The SAS team's signal has completely disappeared!"

Nicholson's body jolted violently, and the cigar in his hand fell to the ground.

He stared at the communicator, as if he didn't believe what he heard.

"You mean, the special forces we sent out were all killed by the Dragon people?"

"This... is not certain. Many situations on the battlefield will affect normal signal communication, but..."

Hearing this, the communicator said timidly.

"However...without communication, we can't be sure whether the plan is successful..."

"..."

Hearing the communicator's words, Nicholson's eyes turned cold and he fell into deep thought.

"Sir," a staff officer asked cautiously, "Should we continue with the original plan?"

Hearing this, Nicholson suddenly burst into a crazy laugh, which was full of madness and despair.

"Continue? Of course I will!"

He grabbed the bottle of whiskey on the table, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

"Do you think I really expect those special forces to succeed?"

"They are just a cover, a cover to distract the Dragon people!"

The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, wetting his straight white uniform.

But he seemed unconcerned and instead smashed the bottle against the wall.

Glass fragments and wine splashed everywhere, scaring the surrounding officers to step back.

"You know what?" His voice became sharp, his eyes flashing with madness, "If we stop now, it means we will really hand Xingzhou over to those yellow monkeys!"

"The Great Empire's last pearl in the Far East has been handed over to those Orientals who were once beaten to a pulp by our ancestors with just a few warships!"

He staggered to the world map hanging on the wall and pointed at Singapore with trembling fingers.

"This place is ours! It belongs to the Great Hard Empire!"

"I, Nicholson, will never be the first governor in history to voluntarily surrender to the Orientals!"

The Chief of Staff tried to dissuade him.

"But sir, the Dragon Kingdom's fleet..."

"Shut up!" Nicholson roared hysterically. "I don't care what aircraft carriers they have or what missiles they have!"

"Since the arrow has been shot, there's no turning back. Let them see the wrath of the Great Hard Empire!"

He rushed to the communications desk and grabbed the receiver.

"Order all coastal artillery positions! Immediately launch fire coverage on the Dragon Nation fleet!"

"I want to let these arrogant Orientals know what will happen if they anger the Great Hard Empire!"

The officers in the command room looked at each other in confusion.

They had never seen the governor lose his composure like this, with his crazy eyes and hysterical tone, just like a gambler who was about to lose everything.

"What are you standing there for!" Nicholson's voice had completely changed. "Follow the order! Fire! Fire!"

Following Nicholson's hysterical order, the coastal artillery positions along the coast of Singapore suddenly burst into flames.

Dozens of heavy artillery roared at the same time, and the shells dragged long tails of fire, drawing dazzling arcs in the dark sky and heading straight for the Dragon Kingdom fleet in the port.

Nicholson stood in front of the French window in the command room with a crazy smile on his face.

In his opinion, even if these huge caliber coastal artillery could not sink the Dragon Kingdom's warships, they could at least teach these arrogant Orientals a profound lesson.

This round of attack will at least cause heavy losses to the Dragon Kingdom.

However, just as the shell was about to hit the target, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded from the Dragon Kingdom's destroyer.

Immediately afterwards, the originally inconspicuous turrets on the ship's hull suddenly turned, revealing the black gun barrels inside.

The next second, the entire port was illuminated as if it were daytime.

More than a dozen tongues of fire shot out from the Dragon Kingdom warships, and each close-in defense gun poured out dense rain of bullets into the sky at an astonishing rate of six thousand rounds per minute.

The orange-red tracer bullets wove a huge fire net in the night sky, intercepting the incoming shells one by one.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions sounded in the sky.

The moment John's army's artillery shells touched this fire net, it was as if they encountered an invisible barrier, and they turned into fireballs in mid-air.

The dense anti-aircraft fire even formed a real wall of fire in the air, and any shells that tried to break through would be torn into pieces in an instant.

Nicholson stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief.

His lips trembled and he wanted to say something but no sound came out.

Those heavy artillery that he was proud of were like a group of incompetent ants in front of the close-in defense system of the Dragon Kingdom warships, and they couldn't even break through the warships' defense circle.

“This…this is impossible!”

He finally found his voice, but it was sharp and raspy.

"This is untrue! How could they possibly have such a weapon? Even the Eagles don't have this technology..."

Before he could finish his words, another round of explosions erupted in the air.

The firepower of the Dragon Kingdom's warships' close-in defense guns remained undiminished, and the dense rain of bullets turned the night sky into a sea of ​​fire.

Every shell was intercepted before it reached the fleet, and not even a piece of shrapnel hit the warships.

The John Country officers in the command room looked at each other with fear written all over their faces.

They are all experienced veterans and know very well what this means.

This is no longer a simple technological gap, but a chasm of an entire era.

Nicholson's body began to shake violently.

His eyes were fixed on the close-in defense guns that were spewing flames, and his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

The once invincible colonial governor now looked like a poor wretch defeated by reality, looking so ridiculous in the face of absolute strength.

"Keep firing!" He suddenly roared hysterically, "Keep firing! Use all the shells! I don't believe they can stop all..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw more Dragon Kingdom warships starting to activate their air defense systems.

A dense network of firepower intertwined into a web above the port, dyeing the entire sky orange.

Those priceless close-in defense shells poured out like they were free, destroying every shell fired by John's army in mid-air.

Nicholson collapsed to the ground, and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by despair.

He finally realized that this battle had been futile from the beginning.

The ancient Eastern country, whose doors were once opened by John's people with just a few warships, has now mastered military technology that even John's people cannot match.

On the warships in the port, the officers and soldiers of the Longguo Navy were still operating the close-in defense system calmly.

To them, this was just an ordinary air defense drill.

Those once invincible colonists finally had a taste of what the Orientals had suffered in the face of modern weapons!

The days when a warship with a single cannon on the coastline could defeat a nation are back.

However, this time.

The offensive and defensive situation has changed...
