The President, as if grasping a lifeline, quickly asked the speaking officer: "Who is it?"
The officer calmly replied: "It is Mr. Alexander Luthor. He is willing to dedicate his strength to the United States, sir."
"Alexander Luthor?" the President frowned.
He wasn't unaware of this person; on the contrary, he knew him too well.
Because the crucial genetic weapon for the "Revenge" plan against Atlantis came from a laboratory under LexCorp.
Fortunately, the public didn't know about this, otherwise LexCorp would likely experience a stock market crash, a thrilling roller coaster ride.
LexCorp, a famous star enterprise in Metropolis, had a very mysterious President, Alexander Luthor, whom few people had ever met.
"How does he want to help us?" the President asked cautiously.
To him, big capitalists were no easier to deal with than superheroes like Shazam.
"Mr. Luthor is willing to provide our Army with more advanced intelligent AI free of charge, which can help us reshape our Military command system."
"And LexCorp can also provide us with more advanced weaponry, allowing us to repel the enemy from the north with the least cost. 03"
The biggest problem the "parasites" brought to the United States was that they destroyed the United States' command system.
Not only did they kill high-ranking Military officers, but they also destroyed the communication network between the national Military command center, various Military command posts, headquarters command posts, reserve command posts, and the intelligence system.
The communication terminals of various centers were destroyed, causing the previously efficient command model to suffer a heavy blow instantly, and various Military units began to devolve into a chaotic situation with numerous independent factions.
Originally, there were often unclear responsibilities and overlapping duties among various departments of the United States. Now that the original communication methods were destroyed, it immediately evolved into a situation where Soldiers didn't know their Generals, and Generals didn't know their Soldiers.
But if there could be a new communication network that could reconnect the scattered Military organizations, then the United States could restore its combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
After all, their troops were just deaf and blind, not dead. As long as their eyes and ears were "cured," they could still return to normal.
Alexander Luthor saw this clearly, which is why he prepared the most urgently needed thing for the United States in advance.
Their satellites were still there, they had just lost contact with the ground system, and all Luthor did was reconnect them.
This was almost effortless for him, given his high intelligence.
Moreover, Alexander was not well-intentioned. Once the United States adopted and used his intelligent system to rebuild its Military command and communication network...
Then, it would basically mean placing the Military power of the United States in his palm.
Even Iron Man, a righteous character, likes to leave backdoors in his products. Do you expect someone like Luthor to truly act for the public good?
Whoever truly believes that, that person must be an idiot!
The President was not foolish, but he had to act foolishly, because now this was the most reliable method.
Anyway, he was just the President of the United States, not the Emperor of the United States. After these few years, he would be gone. Whoever wanted to clean up this mess could.
So what if that Alexander Luthor really had ambitions?
Let him try to be President if he had the ability!
They didn't have much time to hesitate, because the Russian fleet had already entered their territorial waters, and on the U.S. side, only a few scattered conventional patrol fleets had discovered them; other Navy units were still unaware!
So the President made a decisive decision: "Alright, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you. You oversee him to complete this task!"
As for whether LexCorp had any subsequent demands, they would deal with that after they got through this hurdle!
Meanwhile, at the LexCorp Tower, Luthor stood by the office's floor-to-ceiling window, watching the divine battle in the sky, a flickering light in his eyes.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Luthor unhurriedly picked it up to answer: "It's me. Okay, I understand. Don't worry, it will succeed. Pleasant cooperation."
Hanging up the phone, Luthor's face showed a joyful expression.
As expected, the people in the White House had no other choice.
He pressed the button on the desk phone: "Mercy, you can start on your end."
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a "bang" echoed beside him. A Kryptonian flew in through the window, directly penetrating the office floor and plummeting to the lower floors.
Two red rays followed the Kryptonian's direction like a Shadow, and a few seconds later, a blue figure flew in through the window.
"I'm very sorry, are you alright?"
Luthor looked up and saw that the person before him was Metropolis's superhero, and also a superstar, Superman.
Despite his inner disgust, Luthor still showed a brilliant smile: "Of course I'm fine. With you here, we are always safe, aren't we?"
His acting was so good that Clark didn't detect the sarcasm in his words, so he still said enthusiastically:
"Sir, perhaps you should leave here and go to a safer place."
After speaking, Clark seemed to hear something, glanced down, and then directly dived downwards.
The airflow generated by his acceleration caused a huge boom in the room, and the swirling air messed up Luthor's beautiful hair.
Luthor calmly tidied his hair and said softly:
"Yes, a safe place. But with you freaks around, where in this World is there a safe place?"
With that, Luthor pressed a spot on his desk, where a touchscreen-like fingerprint lock appeared.
Then, the bookshelf behind the desk opened to the left and right, revealing a secret room.
Luthor walked into it.
The Russian Military sent the Russian Navy's Pacific Ocean Fleet to carry out the combat mission in the United States this time.
The 36th Surface Warfare Division's three Type 956 destroyers, the Guarding, Agile, and Fearless, along with other secondary fleets and a Type 955A strategic nuclear submarine carrying "Bulava" intercontinental ballistic missiles, all rushed to the battlefield.
It was clear they were serious.
And it wasn't just Russia; the Iranian Navy also participated in the attack mission, but the latter was just an extra, so it's not worth mentioning.
As is well known, there are three major Military powers in the World. Among them, the U.S. Army ranks last, but its Navy is first.
The Russians daring to contend with the United States at sea clearly indicated that they had thoroughly investigated the U.S. Military's true capabilities.
This was largely thanks to the efforts of the "KGB" and the crucial figure — Ares's covert instigation.
If it weren't for Ares's hidden divine influence, the deeply Westernized Russians would not have launched their offensive so quickly.
Even with the principle of speed in warfare, it wouldn't have been that fast, 687.
The U.S. Military's command system experienced serious malfunctions, but Russia's was still operating normally.
Not to mention that other countries were secretly helping them with information, so the Russian fleet easily bypassed the patrolling carrier battle groups and successfully approached the U.S. mainland.
In the offshore waters of the United States, the Russians encountered a small patrol fleet unaware of the situation.
After repeated warnings were ignored, this U.S. fleet launched a deterrent attack.
The 36th Surface Warfare Division immediately regarded this as an act of war and launched a counterattack.
War, thus, erupted!
The war in the Pacific Ocean was observed by the Hall of Justice on the West Coast. Cortana immediately informed Dane of the news as soon as she received it.
"Is that so? It has already begun?"
Dane once again slammed a Kryptonian's head into the ground and turned his gaze to Teth-Adam.
"Is this your goal? To provoke human wars and let humanity destroy itself?"
Adam laughed heartily: "Exactly, what do you think of this idea?"
"Honestly, the method is very crude. Although Russia has always coveted the United States, given their administrative efficiency, they wouldn't act so quickly. There must be other forces involved, right?"
"You're right, there is indeed another important figure involved in this matter."
The speaker was Hespera. She emerged from the ruins; Hal's attack had not caused her any injuries.
"Let me guess." The Kryptonian matter was Hades's doing, so this war... "Is it Ares?"
Only this guy would like to stir up such trouble...
