The video call was disconnected, and Yunyi sighed softly as he looked at the terminal screen, which had lost its signal.
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa's pale face on the communication screen, Yunyi naturally felt bad as well. But that was the situation between the two sides. If he didn't take action against Japan now, Japan would eventually turn around and take action against the Great Asian Alliance. Besides, it was the Japan military that provoked the incident first, and the other side had already fired the first shot. Yunyi wouldn't let them retreat peacefully.
"Damn it, if I had fifty Type 057 destroyers, none of this would have happened." Yunyi tossed the terminal in his hand aside and then lay back on the bed.
Although he was somewhat worried about Mayumi Saegusa's situation, Yunyi forced himself to calm down and begin to deduce the changes in the situation.
Although it's unclear what percentage of the Japan navy's overall strength the fleet dispatched to Tsushima Fortress Japan, the complete annihilation of this fleet is undoubtedly a major blow to the Japan navy. Coupled with the fall of Mio Itsuwa, this also means that Japan's greatest advantage in naval warfare has vanished.
If the US military were to learn of this intelligence, they would certainly not let this opportunity pass. Even if their cooperation with Gu Jie might only be a small-scale conflict involving pressure, it could very well escalate into an invasion in the face of this opportunity.
However, due to the emergence of magic in this world, technological development tends to be combined with magic. Purer technological development lags far behind. The loss of ordinary troops may not be too painful for Japan. But losing Mio Itsuwa is a fatal blow.
"How can I get this message to the top brass of the America military?" Yunyi pondered. He considered using spies already embedded in the America to deliver the message, but spies are spies after all, and it was hard to tell whether they had gained the trust of the America government. If the America military didn't trust the spies delivering the message, it would make them more wary of how things would unfold.
"Looks like we still have to rely on that guy. I wonder what she's been thinking these past few days." Yunyi sighed softly, picked up the terminal that had been tossed aside, and called Lina, who was staying on the research ship.
Lina quickly connected to the communication.
"Huh? Why can your call come in, but I can't contact anyone else?" Lina immediately questioned as soon as the video call connected.
"Nonsense, the research ship naturally has signal jamming devices and the like. Are you even a soldier? Why do you have to ask that?" Yunyi retorted irritably.
"Of course I know!" Lina shouted angrily, "Then why were you still able to get in? Wasn't the signal jammed?!"
Yunyi rolled his eyes; naturally, he wasn't going to explain the reason to Lina.
"Let's not talk about that. I need your help with something." Yunyi decisively changed the subject.
"I don't care!" Lina was still angry and had no intention of helping Yunyi.
Looking at the angry girl in the picture, Yunyi also had a headache. This girl was originally a stubborn tsundere, and now that he had "kidnapped" her onto the ship, she naturally wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
"Whether you care or not, you should hear what it is first," Yunyi said. "I received news that the America military has dispatched a fleet to prepare for an operation against Japan. I don't know if you've received any related information, but now I want you to help convey a message to the US military leadership: the Japan navy has suffered some losses, and Japan's 'Apostle' has also perished at sea."
At first, Lina remained indifferent, but the more she listened, the more alarmed she became. Especially when she heard Yunyi say that even Japan's "Apostle," Mio Itsuwa, had perished, she could no longer control the expression on her face.
"Hey, this is no joke! I've heard some rumors that Mio Itsuwa's condition isn't good, and her lifespan as a mage might be nearing its end. But even so, she can still use the Strategic-Class Magic ' Abyss.' Now you're saying she's dead? What happened? You didn't do it, did you?" Lina asked in surprise.
Yunyi nodded, admitting directly, "That's right. The Japan military wanted to attack the Great Asian Alliance to force me to join the army, but they didn't expect I'm not Japan at all. After I left Japan, they sent Mio Itsuwa to the front lines. I just personally destroyed the entire fleet, and Mio Itsuwa should have been among them. So, is this intelligence worth your help in passing on?"
"I admit, this intelligence is indeed valuable. But Yunyi, what exactly do you want to do?" Lina asked, puzzled. "Even if the US military really launches a war against Japan, what can you gain from it? Even if you were to rashly intervene in a war between two countries, you wouldn't be able to gain anything, would you? That's not something one or two mages can change!"
Yunyi merely chuckled at Lina's words without responding. Judging from Lina's perspective, it wasn't easy for a mage, even a Strategic-Class Magic, to rewrite the course of a war. However, what Lina didn't know was that such people truly existed in this world.
One is Tatsuya Shiba, whose " Material Burst " is a super-limited magic capable of completely annihilating an entire army. The other is Yunyi, whose forbidden spell also has the power to wipe out an entire army.
"Don't worry about that. I have my own ideas. Passing this intelligence on to the America military is also to facilitate my next operation. So, do you need any help?" Yunyi asked.
After a long silence, Lina finally replied, "What benefit would I get if I helped you?"
Yunyi raised an eyebrow. "You're a prisoner now, a captive. You still want benefits? Believe me or not, I'll have you thrown into the sea?"
"Hey! You bastard, don't go too far! You brought me here and restricted my communication with the outside world, what exactly do you want to do!" Lina was provoked by Yunyi's words and immediately retorted.
"Sigh, Lina, I've said it so many times, you really aren't suited to stay in the military. I consider you a friend and don't want to see you completely become a vicious dog of the US military, which is why I brought you out. I can't just let you leave like this, so don't try to negotiate with me like that. You can help with passing messages if you want, or stay on the ship if you don't. As for anything else, don't even think about it."
