Chapter 596: Chapter 268: Amazing Operation (Revised Edition)_3 Chapter 596: Chapter 268: Amazing Operation (Revised Edition)_3 Just when Yan Fei was clueless about what the United States was up to, suddenly, the KB Organisation emerged on social media, declaring that they had launched an attack in the United States forming an unprecedented catastrophe. They stated that in this attack, the US had suffered significant casualties and economic losses, even causing the collapse of the Hoover Dam, an American icon. The desert casino city of Las Vegas had been devastated, and to this day, several major casinos remain closed for repairs.
Beneath this declaration, there were numerous photos and videos. In these images, one could clearly see grievously wounded US soldiers, along with scores of burning tanks and airplanes. Furthermore, there were photos of the completely collapsed Hoover Dam and damaged buildings in the Las Vegas city area. In short, anyone who saw the declaration from the KB Organisation felt a chilling fear because the losses the United States had endured were tremendous. Still, they were reluctant to believe it was true.
After the attack declaration by the KB Organisation surfaced, the US Government then announced to the public that the United States had indeed suffered grave losses due to this attack. The United States released photos and videos of their severe losses, which, together with those released by the KB Organisation, confirmed that the country had truly suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.
Some people openly questioned how KB militants could have inflicted such heavy casualties on US forces. Thus, the United States military began to publish so-called investigation results: the KB Organisation had infiltrated the US Army. These infiltrators, upon receiving orders from the KB Organisation, suddenly turned on their comrades, stealthily attacking and slaughtering their own team. The US forces, trusting their own too much, were completely unprepared for an attack from within, causing disarray and friendly fire, eventually leading to immense loss of life and military equipment.
The breach of Hoover Dam was the result of an attack by US military pilots who had joined the KB Organisation. To shoot down these KB fighter jets posing a great threat to the American people, the United States dispatched their own jets to round up the enemy aircraft. The two sides fiercely engaged in an air battle, and after a harrowing struggle, they ultimately annihilated the KB jets. It was this air battle that caused the destruction in the Las Vegas city area and the significant losses of US fighter jets and pilots.
The reason for not disclosing the truth about the attack earlier was that the military was conducting an internal investigation in order not to inadvertently alert those who had launched the attack.
The American public was immediately shocked upon learning that KB militants had infiltrated their own army and had stealthily attacked their comrades. As the military could no longer be trusted, the United States saw a new wave of civil protests with people taking to the streets to demand that the President immediately purge the KB elements from the military and restore its unblemished environment.
However, there were also astute individuals within the domestic US who raised questions. The US Army, experienced and vigilant, would not likely make such an elementary mistake; even under surprise attack by KB soldiers, they would have been able to respond effectively. Such extensive losses in personnel and equipment should not have happened, so they believed that the military higher-ups were lying, and that they were surely covering up the true nature of something.
In the face of domestic skepticism, after a period of silence, the US military higher-ups once again made public their latest investigative conclusions: The heavy losses suffered by the US Army were entirely due to misjudgment by senior commanders. General Miller, when faced with an attack by KB soldiers, chose to go and negotiate alone, and was consequently captured by the enemy. The KB soldiers then used General Miller as a hostage.
The US Army, restricted by the capture of General Miller, was left somewhat powerless, naturally unable to launch a full-scale assault. As a result, after hesitation, they were severely beaten by the KB soldiers who had a high-value hostage, suffering grievous losses. In the end, General Miller was also killed by the KB soldiers, and another senior US military officer also perished in the conflict. Thus, the substantial losses experienced by the US Army were entirely due to human error–not only from the confused mishandling by the commanding officer but also from the infiltration of KB soldiers into the US military.
The investigation result sparked another dramatic shift in the situation. Everyone condemned the befuddled commander Miller, blaming him for the devastating losses sustained by the US Army. They selectively forgot that General Miller was once heralded as a star officer of the US military, promoted as the commander with the most strategic mind, and had even been idolized by many young Americans. By a twist of fate, the once-pride of the US military was demonized, successfully taking the blame for the huge debacle.
The United States then began releasing the investigation results of the wrongful case against Yang Qi, where it was discovered that it was also the work of KB operatives infiltrated within the US Government. Their objective was to use Yang Qi's identity as a Chinese person to create discord between China and the United States, diverting the US's attention to the Far East, allowing the KB Organisation to catch a break and gain a respite in the Middle East.
After the release of this investigative report, which stirred much public reaction, people realized just how terrifying the KB Organisation could be. Not only did they wield significant energy within the US Army, but they also had the capability to plot a major conspiracy within the US Government. People picked up their most adept weapon–street demonstrations–once again, urging the President to tackle the infiltration of the KB Organisation within the country immediately.
