22: The United States was shocked by the destruction of the base, and Commander-in-Chief Qiao Laxi sent troops in anger!

As soon as several American military soldiers, with their hands bound, were brought onto the stage, the atmosphere in the square reached a climax.

Even Tula Suo, who was observing from his car, felt his chest fill with hatred and gritted his teeth when he saw those individuals.

If Tula Suo felt this way, the citizens on the Indigenous Party's side in the venue all shouted furiously:

“Kill them—”

“Kill them—”

The shouts were like an endless tide, sweeping away all reason and calm.

Only when the crowd's emotions had been sufficiently vented did Mazhaha declare:

“Criminals will eventually face judgment!”

“Fellow countrymen, citizens, what do you think should be the penalty for these individuals?”

Numerous answers emerged:

“Execution by firing squad—”

“Hanging—”

“Burn them to death by fire—”

All the shouting people had bloodshot eyes, looking at the individuals on the stage whom they had sentenced to death, as if they wanted to rush up and personally carry out the judgment the next moment.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “I disagree with these methods of execution!”

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

“The right to execute these evildoers should be handed over to the families of the victims!”

Immediately, many people below the stage also shouted, “Let the victims' families personally execute them!”

“Let the victims' families personally execute them…”

These shouts quickly became the mainstream.

Mazhaha then had the victim families whose loved ones died in the U.S. Military massacre gather collectively below the stage.

Before long, nearly a thousand people, male and female, old and young, gathered at the closest point below the stage!

Mazhaha waved his hand.

The soldiers on the stage lifted the American military soldiers, whose hands and feet were bound, and threw them down toward the stage.

Their bodies heavily slammed onto the ground.

The surrounding crowd pounced on them like hungry wolves…

Seeing this scene, Tula Suo in the car instantly sobered up.

He suddenly yelled, “No, we cannot do this—”

Although he had been deeply engrossed in the atmosphere of this judgment of evil just now, the moment those American military soldiers were thrown into the crowd, he finally realized the problem.

“Doing this is leading the people towards bestiality; you are being completely irresponsible!”

Tula Suo looked at Fang Le, his anger burning.

Tula Suo did not believe that this scene unfolding in the square was entirely Mazhaha's personal idea; he was familiar with Mazhaha, a simple-minded person.

The true mastermind must be the Masked Man in the car, Fang Le.

Fang Le sneered, not bothering to explain anything to Tula Suo.

In the terms of the Dragon Country, killing those American military soldiers was merely a 'name-submission certificate' for the people.

At this moment, the center of the square had become a paradise for avengers.

The victim families used various methods.

They tormented those American military soldiers.

Like primitives, or a pack of wild beasts sharing prey during a period of hunger.

—

The U.S. across the ocean.

Pentagon, Department of Defense.

Secretary of Defense Sevitz, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Claire, and the commanders of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, along with other high-ranking military officials, were holding a closed-door meeting.

Just a short while ago, these individuals had just woken up when they received an urgent summons from the Department of Defense.

They hadn't even eaten breakfast and urgently drove to the Pentagon to meet with other high-ranking officials.

And at this moment, it was only 7 AM in the Western Hemisphere.

The reason for the meeting was that something had happened at Darwin Air Force Base in Australia, thousands of miles away.

The Department of Defense had already been monitoring this base.

For no other reason than that in the past few days, Australia had experienced a series of bad news related to this base.

Such as violating young girls, massacring high-ranking Indigenous Party officials, slaughtering protesting crowds, and so on.

What was happening now?

The meeting's host, Secretary of Defense Sevitz, held a communication document and said with a grim face, “Just now, Darwin Military Base sent an urgent request for help, saying they are being attacked by the American military, and the situation is critical. The message was sent, and then contact was lost.”

What?

Everyone at the conference table was incredibly shocked.

One person asked, “Attacked by the American military? What kind of American military?”

Savitz shook his head: “The base didn't say, but the time interval between being attacked and losing signal was less than 5 minutes.”

How is that possible?!

Someone immediately blurted out a refutation: “Even if that base only has about two hundred people, it's impossible to lose contact in less than 5 minutes when attacked by a large-scale American military. That's a military base with the most complete preventive measures!”

Everyone else shared the same sentiment.

Savitz sighed: “I don't want to believe it either, but the fact is, Darwin Base lost contact shortly after being attacked.”

“Of course, like everyone here, I hope this is just a false alarm, perhaps their communication equipment is damaged or malfunctioning.”

Just then, the meeting room door was pushed open.

Savitz's office assistant walked in quickly and handed something to Savitz.

Savitz's face turned pale with shock after reading it.

“Intelligence has just confirmed that Darwin Air Force Base has fallen.”

Everyone was stunned.

Subconsciously, they had not ruled out the worst-case scenario, but the announced result still exceeded everyone's expectations.

Savitz hastily ended the meeting and went to the White Palace to request an audience with President Joe La Xi.

Along the way, Savitz's mood was heavy.

Darwin Air Force Base was a forward operating base established by the U.S. Military in the South Pacific region to counter the Dragon Country.

If this base falls, the consequences will be dire!

Soon after, a weak roar from an octogenarian emanated from the President's office in the White Palace.

“Send troops to retake Darwin Air Force Base!”

“I want to see those thugs pay the price they deserve for their actions—”
