Seoul Yongsan-ku, CC bunker (tactical satellite Zeus 1 mission control)

As the 4th escorting fleet’s vessels were sinking, Zeus 1 satellite’s mission control was busy marking the targets under Chairman Kang Ui-sik’s orders.

“Check the coordinates for the list of targets!”

“Targets 1, 2, 3, we are checking the coordinates, sir.”

Currently, the list of targets for the mission control included the American GEO satellites 5, 6, 7 that were capable of observing Corea, Japan, China, and parts of Russia from their orbit.

“Check the plasma output levels!”

“Current plasma output at 85% capable of making the interception!”

The operators answered Commander Lim Soo-ho’s questions. He took a deep breath, since his single order could lead to a war against the U.S, the largest military power in the world.

“Very well! We begin the strike with target 1 first. Fire!”

“Fire!”

When Commander Lim Soo-ho gave the order, the operators in charge of the laser cannons pulled on the trigger with his index finger. When the lever was pulled, Zeus 1 fired a blue laser beam towards its target.

Pew, pew, pew, pew!

A satellite that was 36,000km above the surface exploded after being pierced by the laser beam.

Woosh~ Booom~

After the explosion, pieces of the satellite began to spread everywhere while melting from the heat.

“Target 1 has been hit!”

“Fire at target 2!”

“Fire!”

“Fire at target 3!”

“Fire!”

After a short period, the three blue laser beams had caused the American GEO satellites 5, 6, and 7 to become space debris.

“Zeus 1, transition into TCS mode.”

“Transitioning Zeus 1 into TCS mode!”

After Zeus 1 finished intercepting the targets, it transitioned into TCS (Transparent Cloaking System) mode and hid in space.

The lower orbiting satellites KH11, KH12, and the Lacross radar satellites were all struck down by the three-toed crow space fighter jets. Meanwhile, America’s joint satellite center was in an uproar after losing contact with ten of their military satellites. The Pentagon and numerous intelligence agencies held an emergency meeting as a response.

The seas 18km southeast from Japan’s Oki Island (the Zumwalt destroyer fleet)

After launching the SM-7 ship-to-air interception missiles to aid the 4th escorting fleet’s anti-air net, the fleet was only successful in intercepting one of the avarice hypersonic ship-to-ship missiles. Admiral Yamamoto Genzur had no choice but to look at the vessels of the 4th escorting fleet sink while burning. He slowly closed his eyes.

The remaining naval forces that Japan had now were the four Zumwalt destroyers, the 1st escorting fleet, the 2nd escorting fleet, the Okosuka, Maizuru, Ominatu local fleets, and finally, nine Oyashio class submarines, seven Soryu class submarines, and one Wakashio class submarine.

Admiral Yamamoto Genzur opened his eyes after thinking for a bit, then contacted the battle station. He took the position of admiral of the fleet and captain of the Zumwalt destroyer. Many of the officers had passed away from the battles, and they lacked the men, but he also requested to become the captain of the vessel to the naval command.

“Arms man! Are we still unable to detect the enemy vessels?”

The Mjolnir-PIP ballistic missile launch had caused the Chungmugong Lee Sun-shin (CG-1101) to be detected by the radar for a brief moment, but they were unable to find its location again, so the fleet could not attack the enemy vessel.

“We are still unable to find them, sir.”

“Damn it, what is this ship made out of, that we cannot find it?”

The four F-35B and EA-18GE growler jets that took off from the Isei (DDH-182) flew around the Oki Island’s surroundings and contacted the ship.

-This is Otani Shohei, commander of the 11th flight wing under the Isei aerial forces. The Isei has sunk. We are requesting the next orders for the mission.

-Understood. Do you know the approximate location of the enemy vessel?”

-Yes, sir.

-Then send us the location of the enemy fleet while taking the growler flight wing with you. This is a reconnaissance mission, so do not engage the enemy.

-Yes, sir. We will begin the mission now.

“Arms man! Commence the rail gun attacks as soon as we get the intel from the 11th flight wing.”

The F-35B and EA-18GE flight wing turned to the eastern direction. Then, the EA-18GE jets used its powerful disruptive radio waves to hinder the Chungmugong Lee Sun-shin’s (CG-1101) radars.

Meanwhile, Admiral Yamamoto Genzur also finished his communication, then contacted the captains of the three remaining destroyers.

-Set the distance between each vessel to 4km. We will go into a horizontal formation, and begin scanning for the enemy. When we find them, the entire fleet will attack with the rail guns.

-Vessel 2 understood.

-Vessel 3 confirmed.

-Vessel 4, yes, admiral.

The Zumwalt destroyer fleet did not use their own call signs but rather used numbers of the vessels in order of their deployment.

“Admiral! The six Mairuz P-3C reconnaissance planes are moving towards the direction of the enemy’s location.”

“If the reconnaissance planes are headed there, then the enemy would be detected in no time, even if their stealth capabilities are superior.”

The Zumwalt destroyers sailed across the sea while maintaining their position and using Oki Island and its surrounding islands as a shield.

The seas 120km east from Ulsan (Chungmugong Lee Sun-shin’s (CG-1101) location)

The Lee Sun-shin (CG-1101) had annihilated the 4th escorting fleet. When the enemy’s disruptive radio waves were finally gone, the four enemy Zumwalt destroyers showed up faintly across the radar.

“Arms man! Are we still unable to attack with our Scithe cannons?”

“Yes, we are still obstructed by Nagano Island.”

“I wanted to attack by using our cheaper cannon rounds, but things are getting in our way,” Captain Ahn Yoon-joon spoke to himself before giving an order.

“Helmsman! Set the azimuth to 1-8-5 and full turn starboard! Maintain our speed!”

“Yes, captain.”

The Lee Sun-shin (CG-1101), which reached a length of 235m, turned sharply to the right and maneuvered into the set azimuth. The reason the captain had given this order was to move past Nagano Island and set a clear path for their projectiles.

Since there was no guarantee when the war would be over, the captain thought to use the more affordable cannon rounds to engage the enemy instead of using the expensive ship-to-ship missiles that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“Current azimuth at 1-2-5, enemy planes detected at a distance of 255km!” The radar operator reported in when he saw the planes on his screen.

“Are they fighter jets?”

“No, sir. They are six P-3C reconnaissance planes.”

“Are they trying to find our location? Swat down those flies when they fly within our range of the Haegung missiles.”

“Aye, captain.”

When the Japanese P-3C reconnaissance planes closed their distance to 200km, the crew launched six Haegung missiles.

“All six missiles have been successfully launched, sir. First target 245 seconds from impact! Second target 247 seconds away!”

The Haegung missiles traveled at Mach 3.5 and struck down the first target. The plane attempted to make evasive maneuvers by spraying chaffs and flares, but the jet was struck by the missiles and exploded in mid-air.

The second, third, and fourth planes also met the same fate as the first reconnaissance plane. The fifth and sixth all moved away from range and barely evaded the Haegung missiles. The pilots were all in shock. Unable to proceed any further, they retreated to inner Honshu.

“Targets 5 and 6 failed! We lost them since they were out of range captain.”

“That’s a shame. If they come into reach again, launch the missiles immediately.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Arms man! Are we still unable to use our Scithe cannons?”

“Sir! We are 2km away from being able to engage with our cannons.”

“Good! We are not far away then!”

Another operator began to shout. “An unidentified object flying at Mach 8 is headed towards our direction, sir!”

“Cannon rounds? Is it from the rail gun?”

“It seems to be, sir. Fifty-two seconds before the first rounds reach us! There are eight rounds in total. Ah! The numbers are increasing.”

The Lee Sun-shin (CG-1101) used six of its 22mm laser Vulcan guns and sprayed beams of light across the eastern sky. The six beams of white laser beams all reached the rail guns’ metal projectiles and exploded.

pewpewpewpew~ pewpewpewpew~

Boom! Bang!

It would be a waste to use interception missiles to strike down cannon rounds, so the last shot Vulcan guns were being used instead, and so far, all 20 rounds had been intercepted.

“Targets 18 intercepted, 19 intercepted, 20 has been intercepted. There are 12 additional rounds headed towards us.”

Flashes of light continued to flash 15km from the Chungmugong Lee Sun-shin (CG-1101) when the arms man reported to Captain Ahn Yoon-joon.

“Captain! We are now able to transition into cannon fire, sir.”

Captain Ahn Yoon-joon gave his order as if he had waited for this the whole time. “Great! We can’t just sit here and take hits! Let’s show those bastards what we are made of. Transition into plasma cluster rounds! We attack one of the enemy vessels first.”

“Entering the coordinates to the Scithe cannons.”

The arms man returned to his station and gave the order to fire. The operators of the cannons pulled the firing levers according to the radar showing the position of the Zumwalt destroyer, the Lyndon B. Johnson.

“Fire 12 rounds of the Scithe cannons!”

“Fire!”

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

The double-barrel Scithe cannons continuously fired the high-powered plasma cluster rounds. The cannons were capable of launching 50 rounds per minute, and they launched all 12 rounds within 20 seconds. A naval battle involving cannons that seemed to be from the Second World War had begun at Corea’s east sea between Corea and Japan. To be precise, it had started between Corea and America.
