Chapter 723: Chapter 309: Negotiation Request Chapter 723: Chapter 309: Negotiation Request Upon realizing they were under the threat of Dream Island and in a precarious situation, Japan, Canada, and Australia unanimously turned their gaze toward their big brother, The United States of America.
The reason these three countries were willing to form a United Fleet to trouble Dream Island was largely due to their own greed, but an even greater reason was the instigation and promises made by the U.S. Without the urging and promises of the U.S., they would definitely not have readily formed a United Fleet, nor would they have taken the initiative to offend Dream Island. So as soon as they found themselves embroiled in major trouble and their own safety threatened because of this matter, they immediately thought of seeking rescue from their powerful backer.
Compared to the naval forces of these three countries, the strength of the U.S. Navy was far too superior. The current active warships alone of the U.S. could dominate the world's navies. Even if all the naval warships from countries other than the U.S. were to assemble, they would not be a match for the U.S. Not to mention, the U.S. also had a vast number of high-tech warships in reserve. These warships were in storage because they were somewhat outdated compared to the active service warships of the U.S. Navy, but compared to the warships of other countries around the world, they were still advanced.
In the view of these three countries, the U.S. Forces led by far not only in the number and technology of warships, but the U.S. Navy also had rich combat experience, truly the world's number one navy. Their United Fleet was no match for Dream Island's Artificial Whale, but the Artificial Whale might not necessarily be a match for the U.S. Navy. After all, living under the overbearing power of the U.S. Forces, they slowly came to believe that the U.S. was truly invincible, naturally not thinking that there would be any forces in the world capable of defeating the U.S. Navy.
What these three countries did not know was that the U.S. had been closely observing the war between the United Fleet and Dream Island. They had also discovered the terror of Dream Island's Artificial Whale. After analysis by technical experts, they found that their conventional military force could do nothing against this Artificial Whale. So, they immediately utilized the Space-based Energy Weapon to destroy the Artificial Whale, aiming to nip the threat in the bud.
What the U.S. Forces did not foresee was that another Artificial Whale appeared in the waters of Dream Island. In the absence of clear intelligence on the true capability of this new Artificial Whale, the U.S. was also greatly shocked and reached the same conclusion as the three countries, that is, that Dream Island had been hiding its Strength, and even the Strength it was currently displaying was only a small portion.
The United States of America had suffered a major loss at the hands of Destroyer last time, knowing that Destroyer possessed a Mysterious aircraft, but in this maritime battle, the U.S. did not observe the deployment of Destroyer's Mysterious aircraft. However, based on the attack situation faced by the United Fleet on the battlefield, it indicated that some of their losses were due to attacks by the Mysterious aircraft.
Whether it was destroying the United Fleet's final Warship and launching Thermobaric Bombs in an attack, or conducting anti-missile operations in space, or even destroying Japan's Seed Island's Nuclear Weapons Base, it was all the result of the Mysterious aircraft's intervention. Yet, they did not detect the Mysterious aircraft at any point throughout.
Yan Fei had deliberately exposed the Drone to the satellites in the sky to test the attack frequency of Energy Weapons. But unexpectedly, due to the light at the time, the U.S. did not discover the Drone's trace at all.
It was precisely because of the discovery of the second Artificial Whale, as well as the Mysterious aircraft of Destroyer conducting attacks in the shadows, that the U.S. was also quite wary of Dream Island. Weighing the pros and cons, they simply did not dare to act rashly. The Energy Weapon in Outer Space of the U.S. had already been used once, and it would be a considerable time before it could be used again, meaning, during this time, the U.S. had no way to deal with the Artificial Whale. Without their Trump Card, the U.S. naturally could not cope with the Artificial Whale, let alone take down Destroyer's Mysterious aircraft.
So, when faced with collective requests for aid from the three countries, the U.S. surprisingly showed a face of betrayal and abandonment. The President of the United States of America not only refused to help the three countries defend against a potential Missile Attack from Dream Island but took advantage of their crisis to propose harsh terms and fleece them.
Although the U.S. could not deal with the Artificial Whale with conventional weapons, they possessed a vast arsenal of Nuclear Weapons and Intercontinental Missiles. They were convinced that simply by launching a large number of Nuclear Weapons, the U.S. could easily destroy Dream Island. Hence, although the U.S. had destroyed the Artificial Whale, they were not at all worried about retaliatory strikes from Dream Island. With this confidence, the U.S. saw Dream Island as a thorny issue but did not take it seriously. On the contrary, they were leveraging this opportune moment when the three countries were seeking their aid to take advantage of them.
Facing the U.S.'s exploitation of their vulnerability, Japan felt extremely frustrated. They had originally intended to thoroughly ally themselves with the U.S., but after experiencing the U.S.'s betrayal, Japan hesitated a bit, worried that the U.S. might take advantage and then act as if they don't recognize them. However, after conferring with the President of Japan about the severity of their relations, knowing that their crisis required reliance on the U.S. to resolve, they ultimately agreed to the extortion from the U.S.
In contrast, Canada and Australia were completely dissatisfied with the U.S. taking advantage of the situation. They had come to help the U.S., but they did not expect to suffer huge losses and find themselves in danger. As the principal agents in the matter, the U.S. not only did not offer help, but chose to kick them while they were down, and that chilled them to the core.
