The Tang Empire suddenly launched an attack, and the Navy Atlantic Fleet wiped out the main force of the British Royal Navy, causing the British Navy to lose more than 70 warships and more than 30,000 people to die. This incident immediately caused a sensation around the world.

Large-scale anti-Tang protests broke out in the UK, calling on the British government to start war against Tang.

In response to this matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire firmly insisted that it was a mistaken injury, and accused the British Royal Navy of choosing the wrong timing and location of the exercise, causing the officers and soldiers of the Tang Empire to mistakenly think it was an enemy fleet during the live-fire exercise, which resulted in accidental injuries. The Tang Empire expressed regret for the casualties of the British Navy.

Although the Tang Empire responded to this matter in this way, it made sense. All the officials spoke out, saying that the British Navy would inevitably suffer such an ending, which was a matter of self-inflicted consequences.

The British government naturally dissatisfied. If it were decades ago, Britain would have declared war immediately. But now the British clearly realized that they were facing a world superpower, and their military strength was far from what Britain could compete with. The most important thing was that the Tang Empire deployed tactical nuclear weapons on Ireland. Once the war was declared rashly, the Tang army's nuclear cruise missile could tie the entire UK within 30 seconds.

This threat far exceeds that of Germany in World War II to Britain, so the British government cannot declare war directly in the treatment of Germany, and needs to seek help within the framework of the United States and NATO.

The Nissonk government had a headache. British allies were beaten and should have stepped forward to help, but that meant a direct break with the Tang Empire, and even a military conflict between the Tang and the United States broke out. Even the nuclear war had unimaginable consequences.

What scared the US military the most was that the main fleet of the British Royal Navy was wiped out in just a few minutes. There were no casualties or any losses on its own, which was shocking. Although the relevant investigation is still in progress and the truth is unknown, the Tang army's military strength is undoubtedly very strong. If it were the US military, it would definitely not be possible.

This military gap makes the United States dare not act rashly, but if it does not come forward, then Britain will be disappointed and the NATO military alliance will collapse.

In the end, the Nissonk administration had no choice but to accuse the Tang Empire, saying that the United States and NATO would stand completely on the side of the United Kingdom and that the Tang-US relations would move towards a full confrontation.

Nissonk even called Zhang Meng to the hotline and protested. But Zhang Meng was not afraid and argued with reason. He showed the tough stance of the Tang Empire and did not retreat at all.

The diplomatic war between Tang and the United States broke out immediately. Both sides expressed their tough stance to the world, and did not want to lose face. They deliberately used the media to expose their news, indicating that Tang and the United States would engage in a nuclear war that would destroy the world, but both governments expressed their position and would not use nuclear weapons until they had no choice.

For the United States, these media outlets are to appease Britain and NATO allies. It shows that the United States is helping them, and to put it bluntly, it is just fooling the people.

For the Tang Empire, this incident was planned by the Tang army from the beginning, and it was an adventurous military action to test the United States' reaction. The purpose was to understand the strength of the British army, explore the bottom line of the United States, and test how the United States' military reacted.

After a try, the Tang army was overjoyed. The British navy was vulnerable, indicating that the US military would not be much stronger in conventional wars and was no match for the Tang army at all.

However, the Tang Empire did not dare to be careless, and was on level 1 alert in the country. All conventional ballistic missiles and nuclear ballistic missiles in the launch silo are refueled and launched at any time. All road and railway maneuverable missile troops leave the base and patrol 24 hours a day across the country to prevent being locked by US missiles.

All strategic nuclear submarines will leave the port and sneak into deep-sea waters around the world, cut off active external contacts, and passively receive orders from the Supreme Command of the Tang Empire and prepare for nuclear strike operations.

At this time, the national defense network plan for the local Tang Empire was almost completed. The original national missile defense system was already very powerful, which could intercept most slow-speed aircraft and missile targets. With the Tang army's large-scale application of electromagnetic gun weapon systems, land-based electromagnetic railguns took on air defense tasks. With the help of satellite and radar systems, once the target was discovered, the interception success rate was almost 100%.

At the same time, the Tang Empire's absolute defense circle was on the ocean. With the help of military bases and naval forces around the world, it could also intercept enemy air targets such as aircraft, missiles, etc. on the sea.

The only thing that worried the Tang Empire was the nuclear submarines under the sea. In the vast sea, the US nuclear submarines were a hundred times better than the British nuclear submarines, and the silent effect was no longer so easy to detect. The Tang Navy had to keep a close eye on the US nuclear submarine movements at all times.

The Tang army has been closely monitoring the US nuclear submarines. At this time, the US Navy had a total of 33 nuclear submarines, of which 12 were strategic nuclear submarines. Usually one-third were in port, one-third were combat-ready cruises, and one-third were maintained.

Any US nuclear submarine is under the comprehensive monitoring of the Tang army's land, sea, air and space. As long as the US nuclear submarine goes to sea, there will inevitably be Tang army nuclear submarines following them. The Tang army can effectively perform tracking using hundreds of military bases around the world.

In the depths of the ocean, nuclear submarines often encounter collisions or even attacks. Not only are the nuclear submarines between Tang and the United States often lock each other, provoke each other, and even directly impact them. This is true between the nuclear submarines of Tang and Suzhou, and between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both sides are closely watching the nuclear power of the other side. Once they lose the other side's target, they will be very nervous and believe that a nuclear war will break out.

Because of this, since the construction of nuclear submarines in the world, two other countries in Britain and France, since they built nuclear submarines, nuclear submarines have only dared to operate along the coast and did not dare to enter the deep sea easily, and were worried that they were secretly killed by Tang and Su nuclear submarines. Even in shallow seas, they did not dare to walk around casually, and spent most of the year in the port and did not dare to go out.

The only submarines of the Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union are operating under the sea in the world. For decades, the three parties have frequently exposed nuclear submarine crashes. 99% of the reasons are accidents after encountering nuclear submarines with the other two parties. However, all countries strictly observe military secrets. This is a hidden rule and a secret war method that the Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union accuse. Therefore, the outside world does not know the truth and only thinks it is caused by the accident.

At this time, the US military had ordered all nuclear submarines to leave the port, and the Tang army's nuclear submarines carried out comprehensive follow-up tracking and surveillance, and sent surface ships to support them anytime and anywhere.

Both Tang and the United States have brought the nuclear weapons forces into a first-level combat readiness state and entered a state of confrontation in full, and the war is about to break out.

For the Soviet Union, they were also quite nervous. No matter how the confrontation between the Tang and the United States was, some of their nuclear weapons must be aimed at the Soviet Union. Similarly, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons were directly aimed at the United States and the Tang Empire. Because they did not know which nuclear weapons were aimed at the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also entered a first-level combat readiness state for nuclear weapons. Once Tang and the United States detected that they launched nuclear missiles, the Soviet Union would also launch nuclear missiles as soon as possible.

Therefore, once Tang and the United States escalate to the stage of nuclear war, the Soviet Union will inevitably be involved, which will mean the destruction of the whole world.
