Better Off Not Knowing...
Hundreds of drones integrated all the footage they observed and transmitted it to the central control station at Pearl Harbor Military Base.
Frame by frame, images appeared before Xiaochuan and the others' eyes.
It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, it sends chills down your spine.
My nerves throbbed from head to toe.
"This..."
Am I seeing things?
"As Instance faction, Lin Ye actually deployed such an exaggerated number of naval forces to the Dragon Country."
Yamamoto Sanjūhachi rubbed his eyes, repeatedly checking the realism of the image.
The footage transmitted by the drone is from an aerial perspective, which is itself an extremely wide field of view.
In the scene, at a glance, the ships have merged into a surging black tide!
The feeling was like having another layer of waves superimposed on the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
The lights on the ship were like pairs of eyes opening in the darkness, observing the entire world.
The fact that such a visual effect can be achieved means that drones thousands of meters above the ground cannot see the end of the Dragon Country fleet from a single perspective!
At first glance, all you see is the Iron Behemoth that is the aircraft carrier, flanked by the Type 055 Destroyers.
Moreover, the deployment of the Dragon Country's fleet was not a simple clustering or piling up, but rather a combination of clustering and small-scale dispersion.
Such a deployment inevitably leads one to speculate whether, in addition to the fleet observed by drones, the Dragon Country has another fleet of similar size deployed.
This sense of fear of the unknown is even more terrifying.
"Commander, the sheer number of ships the Dragon Country is simply immeasurable."
"OMG."
"Even without seeing the full picture of the Dragon Country fleet, just based on its current numbers..."
In terms of the number of ships, the Challengers Faction's scale was no less than that of the Dragon Country's current force, but the Challengers camp consisted of inferior, low-quality ships.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Country has top-of-the-line aircraft carriers and destroyers.
One hundred thousand Gaul or Daiwa warships are nothing, but one hundred thousand large destroyers would be a real disaster!
"..."
Xiaochuan was speechless for a moment, and could only let out a long sigh.
"Keep the drones observing! We absolutely must... we must get a complete picture of the Dragon Country fleet."
Under orders to explore further, hundreds of drones continued their advance toward the Dragon Country's main fleet.
But the Dragon Country's fleet had already locked onto their location, and they wouldn't be allowed to continue probing.
Xiaochuan's decision to use Reconnaissance Aircraft to find out the Dragon Country's fleet layout in advance was correct.
However, it's wishful thinking to think that you can uncover the entire picture of the Dragon Country fleet all at once using Reconnaissance Aircraft!
This is a direct assembly of the Three Fleets of the Dragon Country, including almost all of its aircraft carriers and destroyers...
Its combat power and scale are self-evident.
With the addition of various buffs, the total strength of the Dragon Country's navy has reached one hundred million.
The number of aircraft carriers alone has expanded to 200!
Previously, they were named after the 34 provinces of the Dragon Country.
Currently, the historical names of each province are being used.
Some provinces may have three or four aircraft carriers at the same time!
For example, there are the Shandong, Qilu, Haidai, and Haiyou.
And in Shaanxi Province, the land of Dragon Country, there are ships like the Qinling, Qinchuan, and Xijing.
As for the number of Type 055 Destroyers, it has been expanded and strengthened in an almost abnormal way.
Previously, the Type 055 Destroyers were named after Dragon Country -level and county-level cities in China, totaling 685 ships.
Nowadays, the ancient names of each city are being utilized. Some cities even have nearly a hundred ancient names.
With this support, the total number of Type 055 Destroyers has reached nearly 60,000!
With such a formation, any enemy unit that enters the field of vision will be eliminated in an instant.
In an instant, countless Haihongqi surface-to-air missiles took to the skies!
This attack involved several thousand missiles.
With the added benefit of the Fear of Insufficient Firepower buff, the Dragon Country's weapons and ammunition are already inexhaustible, so naturally they won't be stingy with them.
In a single exchange, all of the Eagle Sauce Country's unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft were reduced to ashes in the barrage of fire.
At the last moment, these drones flipped in a very strange arc, forcibly transmitting the final footage to the control center.
The final image was frozen in front of Xiaochuan and the others.
The scene is filled with countless fleeting glimpses of aircraft carriers and silhouettes of missiles filling the sky!
The row of aircraft carriers looked like towering mountains rising above the ocean.
The next second, the entire Light Screen turned into scattered mosaic patterns.
The signal interruption means that all drones have lost control...
Yamamoto Sanjūhachi staggered and sat down in a chair, breathing heavily.
Sweat had already beaded on his forehead.
"Impossible. That's too exaggerated."
"How could an Instance faction possibly control such a large number of aircraft carriers?"
"Commander Xiaochuan, based on these survey results, Dragon Country must have at least a hundred aircraft carriers."
"This... this is clearly Steel Torrent at sea!!"
Before I knew this, I felt very confident, but now that I have a better understanding of the strength of the Three Fleets groups of the Dragon Country, I feel like I've been doused with cold water.
My fighting spirit dissipated considerably, and I even felt a bit dizzy.
This feeling is truly despairing.
Preliminary assessments suggest that Dragon Country's fleet is at least ten times larger than that of the Eagle Sauce Country.
Assuming the two sides have similar levels of military equipment, this numerical disparity leaves the Eagle Sauce Country with very little room for maneuver.
Previously, the Challengers usually had ten times more Military Ordnance equipment and supplies than the Instance factions, but the Instance factions overwhelmed them with their superior weapons.
Now that the weapon gap has been minimized, the factions in the Instance have started massing troops again.
Battles where the weak defeat the strong do exist, but it's incredibly difficult for this group of people to guide a battle where the weak achieve victory!
"If the Dragon Country's fleet is this size, then what about Dragon Country Air Force?"
"Commander, what should we do?"
Xiaochuan also had a furrowed brow.
This outcome is rather disheartening no matter how you look at it.
However, he had to remain calm in front of his subordinates.
He took a cigar and began to suck on it forcefully.
He lowered his voice, trying to appear more composed.
"Don't panic."
"The reason we've instructed our investigative units to go to great lengths to uncover the true nature of the Dragon Country is precisely for the sake of our subsequent decision-making!"
