Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243: Chapter 490: Memory Modification Chapter 1243: Chapter 490: Memory Modification As modern technology continually progressed, the presence of the internet had become increasingly indispensable. Suddenly, Dream Island paralyzed the American power, communication, and network systems, returning the flow of information in The United States to a primitive society. This sudden incident caught all forces positioned within The United States off guard, completely losing their precise control over American society.

Once the artificial intelligence “Dream” withdrew completely from the American network systems and all systems in The United States resumed normal function, those forces controlling behind the scenes realized that the war between Dream Island and The United States had ended. They were completely unable to intervene in the war or influence its outcome.

This meant that the war related to The United States had completely slipped beyond the control of these various organizations, and they had not gained any benefits from it. However, given the significant changes in the situation, they could only choose to lie low temporarily and quietly await the next favorable opportunity.

Once the American power, network, and communication systems were restored and following some bloody incidents under the powerful deterrence of the United States Army, the social order in The United States quickly returned to normal. Although this period of chaos was short-lived, it had caused severe damage to American society, and healing these wounds would require The United States to spend more time and effort to make amends.

After normalcy was restored in American society, the US Government did not reveal more about the temporarily signed ceasefire agreement with Dream Island. They simply stated that there were some misunderstandings with Dream Island that had now been clarified, and both had agreed to cease fire. Throughout the process of signing this agreement, The United States neither lost sovereignty nor paid any price, securing peace once again under the wise decisions of the old President.

Of course, having suffered a significant setback, The United States did not brazenly claim they had gotten a good deal out of Dream Island, as the release of the temporarily signed ceasefire agreement would stir significant turmoil domestically, potentially even leading to the old President's resignation.

After receiving a substantial compensation of two trillion US dollars, Dream Island did not actively boast either. Although Dream Island had not completely eliminated America's military capabilities, managing to extract two trillion dollars from thrifty Americans was a significant victory. This cash would enable rapid development in Dream Island, and once its strength was further enhanced, Yan Fei would tear up the temporary ceasefire agreement and wage war against The United States once again.

When American network systems returned to normal, the strong control over the internet by the US Government began to show, as videos and news revealing heavy US Forces casualties were erased under their fierce oppression, and no one was allowed to discuss the war with Dream Island. When national survival was at stake, the much-vaunted freedom of speech in The United States was merely the most laughable slogan…

Similar to Dream Island, the Americans also began to keep a low profile, swiftly aiming to restore their military strength. Once strength was restored to its peak, The United States would breach the agreement and initiate war against Dream Island. This time, however, The Americans were determined to take the initiative by destroying everything in Dream Island without giving them any chance to retaliate.

The war between Dream Island and The United States began very abruptly and ended unexpectedly. Although the international community had been closely monitoring the war, even detecting two nuclear explosions, most of the war took place on the United States mainland during the night, and no details were disclosed, leaving the specific course of the war unknown to the international community.

Despite the lack of information, the international community's observation of the war revealed the formidable military strength of Dream Island, which they acknowledged as possessing nuclear weapons, elevating Dream Island's international standing. The entire world recognized the capabilities of Dream Island, as no other force had ever declared war against The United States and emerged unscathed; Dream Island was the first.

Future generations named this conflict the “24-Hour War” and studied it extensively. Unfortunately, due to the scarcity of information about the war, researchers did not achieve significant results. If it weren't for a major information leak at the US Department of Defense later on, the truth about the “24-Hour War” would have been forever lost in the sands of time…

After Dream Island and The United States declared a ceasefire, the existential crisis facing Dream Island was automatically resolved, but the personnel evacuation from Dream Island did not stop. Knowing that Dream Island was safe, some of its staff ceased their evacuation efforts, and even those who had returned to China were finding ways to return to their positions on Dream Island, contributing to its reconstruction.

However, another group of employees was terrified and preferred forsaking the high income and welfare of Dream Island to stay away from the dangerous island. In their view, any forces targeted by the Americans were essentially doomed, and they saw no reason to risk their future prospects for immediate benefits.

The artificial intelligence “Dream” quickly regained control of all the systems in Dream Island, thus rapidly identifying who wanted to stay and who wanted to leave Dream Island. It sent this list to Yan Fei, informing him of the urgent situation Dream Island was facing.
