Chapter 493: 492、Destination of the Gravity Funnel_1
After hearing Su Yu’s words, Chairman Hu Jing, Commissioner Zhang, and Elder Tao exchanged glances, their eyes all conveying approval.
If the Skrulls were to use the gravity funnel, the people of Blue Star would have to prepare for the worst.
“Comrade Su Yu.” Chairman Hu Jing asked, “Where do you think the Skrulls will target with their gravity funnel?”
Xue Wenli pulled up a world map on her computer and projected it onto a screen.
Su Yu looked at the world map on the screen.
After a long moment, he hesitated, shaking his head, “To be honest, I couldn’t guess where they would set their target… I really wouldn’t dare to say. Do you have any ideas?”
Su Yu turned to look at the trio of the chairman.
Chairman Hu Jing looked at Zhong Feng, “Zhong Feng, it’s better if you answer this question.”
During a pre-war meeting a few days ago, without Su Yu’s participation, the joint government and military high-level officials had analyzed this issue. At that time, Zhong Feng’s analysis had been largely agreed upon by most people, so he should be the one to explain it now.
“Okay, Comrade Chairman.” Zhong Feng nodded solemnly, looking at Su Yu:
“Firstly, I think it’s unlikely that the Skrulls would target China, after all, the Skrulls have already made a promise to Prime Minister Cao Cao. I don’t think they’ll renege on this issue… Of course, I can’t rule out the possibility of them going back on their word, but it would likely be at a low probability.”
Su Yu agreed, “Hmm, continue.”
“Next would be America.” Zhong Feng looked at the world map and pointed to the area of America with a laser pointer, “Although America is now divided into four nations, they still maintain a loose alliance.”
“Most importantly, this alliance of four nations remains one of the most militarily advanced entities in the world, with nuclear warheads second only to ours.”
“I think the Skrulls will take this opportunity to completely annihilate America and destroy all its nuclear weapons, which would remove obstacles for future warfare.”
Zhong Feng finished speaking and put down the laser pointer.
Having heard Zhong Feng’s viewpoint, Chairman Hu Jing and Commissioner Zhang nodded in agreement. Their views largely aligned with Zhong Feng’s, also believing that America was the most likely target.
Zhong Feng looked at Su Yu and Elder Tao who were deep in thought and asked, “Su Yu, Elder Tao, what do you think?”
“As for me,” Elder Tao smiled, “I don’t have much knowledge about the current world situation. Let’s listen to the advice of our young friend, Su Yu.”
All eyes were on Su Yu.
Su Yu thought for a while before slowly shaking his head, “Zhong Feng, I don’t agree with your viewpoint.”
“Oh? What’s your opinion then?” Zhong Feng hastily asked.
“This is what I think.” Su Yu took the laser pointer from Zhong Feng and started by pointing at America,
“First of all, Zhong Feng, you’re right. America’s nuclear weapons could indeed pose a significant threat to the Skrulls. But don’t forget, the greatest threat to them on Blue Star will always be us, and only us!”
“If the threat from America is a ‘1’, then we are at least a ’10’.”
Su Yu drew a red circle around China (Huaxia Nation) with the laser pointer.
“You mean…” Chairman Hu Jing’s expression turned serious, “Su Yu, are you suggesting that the Skrulls might break their promises and release these monsters within our borders?”
“Not necessarily.” Su Yu shook his head, “From what I know of Emperor Manina XIII, he would most likely release the monsters in countries neighboring ours, like Rashia to the north, Southern Country to the south, and Goryeo to the east.”
“The arrival of the monster swarm could completely devastate a country or region. Afterward, the swarm would migrate into our country, launching a large-scale attack on our hinterland, putting pressure on us.”
“Also, I’d like to mention that although the American Quadruple Alliance seems somewhat powerful now, the Skrulls would definitely notice that as time goes on, the effect of the alliance would become increasingly marginalised, so it certainly wouldn’t be their main strategic target.”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, everyone else in the room nodded in agreement.
Su Yu’s viewpoint made a lot of sense; the Skrulls wouldn’t likely neglect the main issue to focus on minor details.
Moreover, Su Yu was very familiar with the enemy’s leader’s character (even though no one knew why he was so familiar). Especially in an imperial nation like theirs, judging enemy movements based on the character of their emperor often proved to be the most accurate. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Therefore, everyone present agreed with Su Yu’s judgment.
Chairman Hu Jing continued to ask, “Su Yu, if it is as you said, and the Skrulls drop the monster swarm in our neighboring countries, which country do you think it would be?”
“Now that, I really don’t know.” Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile, “Using the process of elimination, we can rule out the Stan countries in Central Asia, and the Poisonous Body Country to the southwest, but the remaining countries—Rashia, Goryeo, Mongol Yuan Country, and the nations in Southeast Asia—I can only say they’re all possibilities.”
Chairman Hu Jing, Commissioner Zhang, and the others looked at the world map in silence.
The Skrulls wouldn’t expect the monster swarm to cross the Taklimakan Desert or climb over the Himalayas to attack the mainland of China, but rather they would opt for a country close to China’s densely populated areas.
The four country areas mentioned by Su Yu were indeed all possible.
Which one would it be?
…
…
While Su Yu and the others were racking their brains over the dilemma of the monster swarm,
Far away on Skru Star—the Raging Sun Empire—inside the command room of the Skrull expeditionary forces’ headquarters, Emperor Manina XIII of the Raging Sun Empire was also discussing this matter with his subordinates.
The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces, Langqi, was kneeling on one knee, respectfully asking,
“Your Majesty, the ‘Gravity Funnel’ is now fully prepared after three rounds of initial tests, and all base commanders are ready. Where should we set the target location for the ‘Gravity Funnel’?”
On the wall of the command room, a map of Blue Star more than a person high was spread out in front of Emperor Manina XIII.
“Set the target location here.” Emperor Manina XIII randomly drew a circle on the map, encompassing an island nation.
“The Neon Archipelagos?” Langqi was clearly taken aback, “Your Majesty, why choose this place?”
Langqi had previously speculated about where the Emperor would set the target location. His guesses were similar to those of Su Yu, with his target choices including Rashia, Goryeo, the Mongol Yuan Country and one of the Southeast Asian nations.
What he had not expected was that the Emperor would choose Japan (Neon), which is located northeast of China and across the sea.
“Choosing this place is perfect.” Emperor Manina XIII smiled faintly, “This country has a high population density and is technologically advanced. It is China’s most economically developed neighbor.”
“Eliminating this country would deal a major blow to the Blue Star’s economy, while also serving as a springboard for the monster swarm to attack China.”
“But, Your Majesty.” Langqi expressed his confusion, “There is a great sea between Japan and China. Wouldn’t this bring some disadvantages to the monster swarm’s attack on China?”
