Chapter 1227: Chapter 483: War or Peace?_2 Chapter 1227: Chapter 483: War or Peace?_2 Yan Fei sneered, “It seems that you Aricans have yet to realize the formidable nature of Dream Island. Indeed, The United States of Arica has a very powerful aircraft left by aliens, as well as a space-based energy weapon launch platform. However, our Dream Island Cyber Warfare Troops have been controlling your United States power system and network system. All of your electronic combat capabilities have been nullified by us, so you are now completely unable to contact your space-based energy weapon launch platform, let alone use it to attack us.”
“Furthermore, you have already lost satellite navigation capabilities. Do you really think that relying solely on celestial and terrain navigation, your powerful combat aircraft could fly across the Pacific Ocean to reach Dream Island? Or are you disregarding our Dream Island’s electromagnetic railgun defense system? Your so-called stealth ability shines brighter than a super light bulb, it can’t fool our radar scans. As for your nuclear weapons, I pay them no heed. We on Dream Island have already taken control over all your nuclear weapon launch programs. With just one order from , your nuclear weapons will launch imdiately and strike the cities on the United States mainland.”
Exploiting the asymtry in information, Yan Fei deliberately exaggerated the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence “Dream” to make the Aricans believe that their own country’s nuclear weapons were under the control of Dream Island. Now the Aricans are like frightened birds, completely unaware of the flaws in his claims, so they have no doubts about Yan Fei’s threats.
The First Daughter’s attitude visibly softened as she said, “Mr. Yan Fei, we are all civilized people; we cannot commit massacres of innocent civilians. The ordinary Arican citizens are innocent, they should not have to bear such a destiny. We have co here for negotiations with sincerity, and I believe that as long as both sides are willing to talk, we will definitely reach a satisfactory outco.”
In The United States of Arica, it was now five o’clock in the afternoon of the second day. In the morning, when people awoke, they found The United States of Arica in a state of war with Dream Island. Although the extent of the damage The United States of Arica had suffered was still unknown due to the internet blackout, everyone’s lives had already been completely paralyzed by a massive power outage.
Due to the electricity outage, telecommunication failures occurred nationwide, leading to internet blackouts. Mobile phones, cash registers, and ATMs went on strike one after another, banks, the stock market, supermarkets, and transportation systems stopped providing services. Even ambulances were unable to function due to telecom failures.
All forms of transportation ca to a halt; even airplanes could not fly. If people didn’t drive themselves, they simply couldn’t go out. But even for those who chose to drive, they found that automated garages wouldn’t open and they couldn’t refuel at gas stations. The whole United States’ transportation system was thrown into chaos due to the malfunction of all traffic signals, and the normally orderly Arican society’s order was completely destroyed.
In terms of daily life, every family experienced water cuts and disruptions in natural gas supply due to the power outages. Aricans had no contingency plans for this, without electricity and natural gas, they couldn’t even make a hot al, unless their hos maintained the ancient tradition of burning wood…
In short, when the Aricans opened their eyes, they discovered that The United States of Arica had regressed to a primitive society overnight, and their quality of life had plumted. Although the First Daughter had left The United States of Arica before dawn, she could fully anticipate the current situation in the country, which was why she urgently needed to end the state of war with Dream Island and restore normalcy dostically.
If this chaotic state continued, unpredictable dangers could befall The United States of Arica, possibly even leading to the country’s disintegration. The First Daughter softened her language and expressed willingness to negotiate specific terms with Dream Island precisely because she knew the current situation was highly unfavorable for The United States of Arica.
Previously, demanding Dream Island compensate The United States of Arica one trillion US dollars in economic losses was rely a negotiation tactic to secure an advantage in subsequent negotiations. However, negotiations still depended on strength, and negotiation tactics alone couldn’t determine everything.
Yan Fei said, “Since you are willing to talk, then I shall continue. I have already stated the two main principles of negotiation. Besides those, I have three conditions. First, The United States of Arica must withdraw all its military forces from the Western Pacific, and must not enter the Western Pacific henceforth. The westernmost presence of your military forces shall not extend beyond Hawaii.”
The First Daughter flatly refused, saying, “That’s impossible. The United States of Arica has many interests in the Western Pacific, as well as nurous allies. We cannot abandon these interests and allies; we must maintain a military presence in the Western Pacific.”
Yan Fei firmly stated, “Although this is a negotiation, Dream Island currently has the upper hand, so this is not a request but a command, which doesn’t require your agreent. If I detect any US military force still present in the Western Pacific, I will annihilate them.”
The First Daughter beca sowhat angered. As the envoy of The United States of Arica, a nation with unrivaled military power, she was accustod to pride and had never experienced being issued a command. However, she was also capable of restraint. She did not imdiately respond but listened as Yan Fei continued.
