Chapter 731: Chapter 727: The Final Action, President in Peril
Kennedy Green waved his hand and said,
“Roy, as you said, this operation took many people years of effort to organize, and it can’t be handed over to just anyone. You would have been the best choice, but you’ve had two major surgeries recently and your body wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. Finding someone else, like you mentioned, would take too much time to develop rapport, and we simply don’t have time anymore. So, I can’t think of a second choice other than me!”
Roy Lewis didn’t want to admit it, but in fact, Kennedy Green was right.
At this point, there was no turning back for either of them.
“Alright, Mr. President, please prioritize your own safety in the upcoming operation and launch a counter-attack on the target only after ensuring your personal safety,” said Roy.
At ten in the morning, Roy Lewis sent the command to start the operation to the front-line commander, Kennedy Green, via the internet.
As soon as the operation began, the enemy fought back, though not forcefully. With a slight increase in troops, the joint forces of several countries quickly dispersed their attackers.
The operation progressed until five in the afternoon, lasting nearly seven hours.
The events of these seven hours closely resembled what Roy had planned. Although there were many ambushes and counter-attacks, they were all within the joint forces’ control.
In Leutonia, the sky darkened after five o’clock.
After several hours of continuous operations, everyone was tired: the front-line joint forces, the front-line commander Kennedy Green in Leutonia, Roy Lewis and the other ministers who were remotely directing the operation in the Federation’s government office.
They agreed to rest for a while and regroup before the next round of operations.
Since this was a highly classified event, Roy and Nathan Caroule handed over their personal phones to designated personnel for safekeeping as soon as they got into their special vehicles.
So even though Roy was extremely worried about Richelle Dunn and the children, he had no other choice but to have a quick rest in the office after dinner.
The second step of the operation was a surprise attack at midnight.
This surprise attack aimed to surround and annihilate the enemy’s main forces on a large scale.
Around eleven o’clock, Roy sent the signal to Kennedy Green on the front line to start the operation.
According to the plan, this surprise attack would last at least a few hours, so it should end tomorrow morning.
Of course, this was an optimistic estimate.
If the enemy resolutely defended their position and counter-attacked using their advantages, this attack could last until tomorrow afternoon.
“Mr. President, and all the brothers, please be careful!” said Roy after issuing the mission.
Kennedy Green patted his chest and laughed,
“Don’t worry, I have the peace amulet safe and sound!”
The surprise attack went smoothly until around four in the morning.
Victory seemed within reach for the most difficult battle.
But suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from the screen, and then the screen went black!
Roy Lewis’ heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.
“Uncle, how are you? Uncle, please answer me immediately if you can hear my voice!” he called anxiously into the phone.
The screen remained dark, but faint sounds of conversation came through. Upon closer listening, it seemed to be people talking.
The content was unclear, but the anxious tone indicated that something major had happened. It was likely that the enemy had pulled off a surprise attack, and their forces had taken a heavy blow.
“Uncle! Mr. Fred! Can you hear me?”
After a rustling sound, Kennedy Green’s voice finally came through,
“I can hear you, I’m fine!”
Kennedy Green’s voice was as calm as ever, but Roy’s intuition told him that Kennedy Green was wounded, and severely so.
“Uncle, you’ve been seriously injured, haven’t you?”
Roy Lewis asked Kennedy Green in a deep voice.
Kennedy Green chuckled, “No, I’m doing great. Roy, the screen must be broken and we can’t fix it for now, so would it be okay to use audio communication to arrange the follow-up actions?”
Roy couldn’t see anything, and even though he was incredibly uneasy, with a strong premonition, he heard Kennedy Green’s long and clear speech. His thoughts were logical and clear; he didn’t seem like someone seriously hurt.
“Mr. Fred, is my uncle really okay?”
“Yes, Mr. President is doing fine,” answered Benjamin Fred, which reassured Roy.
Taking a deep breath, Roy asked Benjamin Fred to report on the situation there.
In a concise summary, Benjamin Fred described the situation: just as Roy suspected, the enemy had launched a massive surprise attack and destroyed their front-line communications equipment.
The audio-only communication equipment they were using now was a backup set.
Based on Benjamin Fred’s report, Roy quickly devised an action plan to reinforce the troops and carry out a final roundup.
After discussing with the ministers present and making some minor adjustments, Roy sent the action plan to Kennedy Green via audio communication.
This full-force crackdown operation lasted for more than half an hour, with faint explosions heard through the phone.
Then, after a huge explosion, Benjamin Fred’s voice came through with a loud shout,
“Mr. President!”
