Chapter 694: Chapter 644: Destroying the Star Spirit Platform_4

Edward quickly asked,

"Mr. President, no matter who it is, we cannot allow them to cause such large-scale destruction in our Star Shining Federation and then simply walk away! Otherwise, once the news spreads, it will certainly have a massive impact on all aspects of our Star Shining Federation, even causing neighboring countries to doubt whether we still have the ability to guard our territory!"

Minister Karis stated sternly, "The target’s flight speed is extremely fast, reaching a shocking nine Mach. It also appears to be equipped with some kind of energy shield; conventional weapons are basically ineffective against it. I suggest activating the ’Torch’ nuclear missile from the ’Freedom’ space-based platform to destroy the target."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was visibly startled.

Torch Missile!?

That is the most advanced weapon of the Star Shining Federation.

And the "Freedom" space-based platform is even known as the Doomsday Platform, which, once activated with its onboard weapons, could potentially bring about the apocalypse for the entire Blue Star.

"The Star Spirit Platform has been destroyed... Although we secretly built a second Star Spirit Platform, our original plan was to transform this platform into a conduit to the Longevity World, essentially building that structure known as the Star Gate. If we need to construct a Star Gate from scratch on the Star Spirit Platform again, it would take at least a year at the fastest."

Karis clearly understood what the seniors were most concerned about and said directly, "One year isn’t a long time, and we can all wait. But what if, just as our Star Gate is about to be completed, the Mecha disrupts our efforts again? Build it a second time? A third time? How much time would that waste? Three years? Five years? Ten years?"

This statement, like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, suddenly made the seniors reach a decision.

Their bodies had a very low chance of accidents in the next few years, but if this timeline were extended to ten years...

No one can guarantee.

The key was, they also couldn’t guarantee that ten years later they would still hold high positions or wield such vast power.

Without power, they naturally couldn’t enjoy the top resources, and even if they really went to the Longevity World, they might not be able to achieve much in a short period.

With this in mind, Jonas promptly said, "I think Minister Karis makes sense. The glory of the Star Shining Federation must not be desecrated!"

"Exactly, no matter who it is, anyone daring to attack the homeland of our Star Shining Federation will face our most vigorous counterattack and retaliation. We must demonstrate our firm stance to the world to show them the consequences of provoking us," said the Vice President Robert.

The other seniors also nodded in agreement.

Edward himself felt the same.

Having now received unanimous support, he nodded and said, "Then activate the ’Freedom’ space-based platform and launch the ’Torch’ missile! Destroy the target!"

After speaking, he added, "This... we should still notify those few countries to avoid any misunderstandings!"

"It’s true that we cannot conceal this event, and indeed a heads-up is necessary. However, I think this is also a good opportunity to showcase the missile deployment capabilities of our Star Shining Federation," said Karis.

"Furthermore, there’s an old saying in the East, ’A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit.’ Although the Torch Missile can reach up to thirty times the speed of sound and carries sixteen of the most advanced nuclear warheads, each with an equivalent yield of 1.5 million tons, for safety’s sake, we should also launch other sea-based and land-based missiles simultaneously, both to ensure foolproof measures and to deter neighboring areas," Karis added.

Listening to Karis’s words, Edward pondered for a moment then nodded firmly.

Soon, three men in military uniforms arrived at his office carrying a case.

Guided by the three, Edward, after several layers of verification, opened the case.

Looking at the red button on the top, the Star Shining Federation President, aged over seventy, took a deep breath: "Ever since ninety-one years ago, nuclear weapons have not been used on the battlefield. But now, their brilliance will once again shine through my hands, echoing the everlasting glory and honor of our Star Shining Federation."

Having said this, he raised his right hand resolutely and pressed down.
