Chapter 1177: Chapter 466: Mysterious Legend Chapter 1177: Chapter 466: Mysterious Legend The former President of the United States was an unconventional president; his actions were often unorthodox, yet they frequently brought benefits to the United States and its staff members, which is why his subordinates were willing to follow him devotedly.

However, this time the former US President made some miscalculations. He recklessly attacked Wen Rou of Dream Island upon her return, leading to her accidental death by bombs dropped by the US Forces. Then, Yan Fei, disregarding all else, declared war on the United States, which brought immense losses to the US in just a few strikes, and yet the US could do nothing about Yan Fei. This fully showed that the former US President had truly made a mistake this time.

At this moment, the US high officials looked at the former President with unusual eyes. They began to harbor other thoughts in their hearts and no longer blindly followed the President's words as before. The huge losses suffered by the United States were entirely due to the President's forceful promotion and stubbornness. It seemed the President should be held accountable for his extraordinary behavior…

Upon realizing his staff members harbored different thoughts, the former US President was uncontrollably furious. In his view, without his care, these people would never have reached their current positions. They should always listen to him, not question him behind his back. Moreover, when he made the decision, his subordinates did not oppose him, but now that the situation had escalated, they were ready to place all the blame on him.

Just then, news arrived that further enraged the former President. Britain and Israel contacted the United States, stating they would end the cooperation with the United States military, no longer provide intelligence support or navigation services, and not even help the United States launch military satellites.

Finding that his most valued allies had suddenly turned their backs, the former US President's heart finally wavered. Was his decision really wrong? Or had the United States reached a point of complete alienation? Without the support of allies and lacking internal unity, what could the United States rely on to maintain its powerful status?

Earlier, Dream Island's missile launch base had launched thirty huge ballistic missiles that entered space, flew at high speed, and then re-entered the atmospheric layer; their clear target was the multiple military bases the United States stationed in Japan and South Korea.

If the US satellite network were still intact, then their missile defense system would have been able to operate normally. As soon as Dream Island launched the ballistic missiles, they would have detected them. If they wanted to intercept these missiles, they would have had ample time to attempt three methods of interception.

The first was at the time when the missile had just been launched, the perfect opportunity for interception; the second was mid-course interception, which occurred during the missile's flight in space, where interception was already quite difficult; and the third was terminal interception, which took place as the ballistic missiles began their final plunge attack, when their speed was at its maximum, making them extremely difficult to intercept.

Unfortunately, the absence of satellites meant that the United States did not detect the ballistic missiles launched by Dream Island immediately. Only after these missiles re-entered the atmospheric layer did the THAAD system stationed in Japan detect these high-speed missiles.

After re-entering the atmospheric layer, the ballistic missiles from Dream Island accelerated dramatically, reaching an unprecedented 40 times the speed of sound. Even though the United States' THAAD system detected the approaching ballistic missiles, they lacked sufficient time to react, much less to launch missiles to intercept them.

These ballistic missiles flew at speeds no missile had ever achieved before. The heat shields at the forefront, from friction with the air at high speeds, turned red-hot. If it weren't for the addition of Black Gold Element in the materials of these heat shields, enhancing their insulation capability, these ballistic missiles would have melted from the heat before even reaching the attack phase.

At 40 times the speed of sound, the capability of the United States' THAAD system was surpassed; they couldn't even lock onto the incoming missiles, let alone shoot them down. In just an instant, these ballistic missiles reached 10,000 meters above the US military bases, then their warheads opened, revealing 20 slightly smaller sub-warheads inside.

These sub-warheads locked onto their respective targets and were launched, hurtling towards their targets at 40 times the speed of sound and striking them. The military targets on the ground exploded in a spectacular and earth-shattering blast, annihilating everything within the military bases…

To completely destroy the fifteen large US military bases in Japan and South Korea, Dream Island had launched thirty huge ballistic missiles, attacking each military base in pairs. And each ballistic missile carried twenty high-power sub-warheads, resulting in what amounted to a saturated attack of forty high-power missiles on each military base.

In the continual violent explosions, it could be seen that the US military bases were constantly being hit. Not only were the combat aircraft parked in hangars and airports completely destroyed, but the runways these aircraft depended on for taking off and landing were also blasted into a huge deep hole with a diameter exceeding forty meters, completely ruling out any plane at the military base from using the airport runway for taking off and landing operations.
