Even with the external threat to all of humanity, its status as the international leader of Earth's police force is absolutely unshakable.

Anyone who harbors even the slightest thought or inkling of challenging this must be crushed.

Proximity breeds favor; this saying isn't just for show.

Even if Huaxia were to resort to forceful means, they, with their rear-echelon logistics bases and complete industrial supply chains, could overwhelm them by treating weapons produced by these chains as disposable items.

And at that point, no matter what means Huaxia used to acquire the technology from these Ironclad individuals, America's position would be severely threatened.

The current threat from the external monster makes things manageable, but once this external threat is completely eliminated, America will be the next target.

Especially the major capitalists who are parasites behind America – they absolutely will not allow this. They don't want to end up hanging from lampposts!

Therefore, this is something they absolutely will not permit and will never let happen.

They would rather use nuclear bombs to annihilate these people than let anyone else obtain them!

"Order the Department of Defense to prepare. If the situation becomes irreversible, submarines stationed at Okinawa and those operating in the Asia-Pacific region are to prepare for nuclear strikes!"

"But, Mr. President! That's another country's territory, and it's a major hub in a bustling city. And back then, we already..."

"You shut up!" the President slammed the table and roared. "What kind of place is that? It's a dog of our great America. They're constantly thinking about breaking free from our chains to bite us back! If our great America were to decline, they would surely be the ones to tear into us the hardest. I'm still angry that past presidents didn't just drop all the nuclear bombs on them!" As he spoke, as if still not appeased, he quickly strode over to one of the officials, grabbing him by the collar.

It's hard to imagine that a man in his fifties or sixties could possess such strength, lifting a middle-aged man, a meter eighty tall, so that his feet left the ground.

"What we need to do now is seize this opportunity to nip them in the bud!" The gritted teeth and the meaning in his eyes made the congressman tremble.

"Yes! Mr. President!"

The President released his grip on the collar. His expression changed as if he had flipped a page, and he kindly smoothed the wrinkled collar. Then, as if complaining, he said, "Also, notify the United Nations! We will deploy one or more nuclear bombs of equivalent yield under the guise of assisting Pp DC in eliminating the monster!"

"Understood!"

And at this moment!

In a deep mountain, a concealed gate slowly opened. As the artificial electronic trees moved aside, the runway hidden beneath was gradually revealed.

"Quick, quick, quick! You only have 15 minutes. We need to take advantage of this window while all satellites are focused on Edo to speed up our takeoff! If any satellite passes overhead, our secret will be easily discovered. So hurry up!"

In this mountain base, a huge, round, and plump aircraft sat on the dark runway.

All the engineering personnel who were conducting checks had already cleared the runway.

As the lighthouse signal turned green, the massive aircraft began to accelerate, clearing the runway in just 13 minutes.

Its enormous body slowly ascended into the air. It didn't even have time to circle back to inspect the aircraft for any anomalies. It immediately changed direction and sped towards its destination!

At a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, it was tens of thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye.

Less than 20 minutes after the aircraft took off, several fighter jets also slowly lifted off from various overt military airfields.

Among them, over a dozen J-series aircraft, from fifth-generation to fourth-generation, took to the skies.

"Report! America has issued a statement at the United Nations. They are preparing a nuclear warhead with a yield of 500,000 tons to assist Pp DC..."

The reporting officer was about to continue, but the old man waved his hand. He calmly watched the live broadcast on the screen. "Go tell the United Nations that to ensure Pp DC can completely eliminate the monster, we will also prepare a nuclear warhead with a yield exceeding 500,000 tons."

Upon hearing this, the reporting officer was stunned but still relayed the order.

At the same moment, Russia also began issuing a statement at the United Nations, declaring its preparation of a nuclear warhead with a yield exceeding 500,000 tons to aid Pp DC in completely eliminating the monster.

At this point, America was left in an awkward position.

Their original plan was, if all else failed and the situation became irreversible, to use nuclear bombs to physically eliminate those Ironclad individuals.

If these Ironclad individuals had fled far away, they could then use the excuse of missile guidance system malfunctions caused by the monster's influence.

An old excuse, used years ago.

But they never expected this move!

However, there was still a prerequisite!

That was whether these Ironclad individuals could run far enough on their own!

If, by the time of the nuclear explosion, they still hadn't escaped the blast radius!

Then, it was unfortunate, because their nuclear missiles, even with an explanation of a slight deviation, only missed by a small margin.

But theirs had deviated all the way to the enemy's base, a rather significant error.

So, everything depended on these Ironclad individuals!

And at this moment, in the underground fortress of Fusang, both the Emperor and the informed congressmen were looking at the news displayed above with immense anger.

"Are they trying to destroy our Nuclear Nation? These bastards, one day I will plunder, kill, and burn them all!"

A congressman, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace, roared.

The others whispered amongst themselves, with only a few, along with the Emperor, looking towards the Prime Minister.

"If! If it truly comes to the final moment, then let those monsters in the base out! Stop those Ironclad individuals! That will also satisfy the Americans!" The Prime Minister closed his eyes with some pain.

"But those monsters... our research on them hasn't reached the point where we can control them. If we release them rashly..." a female congresswoman with glasses stammered.

However, this time the Prime Minister did not get angry. Instead, he calmly waved his hand and said, "The citizens killed by the monsters, their blood and flesh will continue to exist on this land, nourishing our soil. We will still have a chance to live here in the future. But if nuclear bombs fall, not only will our bodies and blood not remain here, but we will also have no chance to survive on this land."

He then turned to the female congresswoman and asked calmly, "Please tell me... which is more important?"
