Chapter 821 Invasion of Airspace
Under the cover of night, the calm Norwegian Sea suddenly began to surge violently.

A huge ship over 200 meters long slowly emerged from the depths of the sea like a deep-sea ghost. The moonlight scattered on its smooth steel surface, but no reflected light could be seen.

"Boom bang bang..."

Suddenly, there was a flash of intense fire. The 24 cruise missile launchers of the Gonggong strategic nuclear submarine opened fire at the same time. Xuanyuan cruise missiles loaded with fuel-air explosive warheads flew into the air like sharp swords at an extremely fast speed. These 24 cruise missile launchers fired two rounds in unison.

In an instant, the intense flames illuminated the dark sea as if it were daytime.

Such a picture looks inexplicably beautiful.

However, this is only for Tang Yuan. For some people and some forces, this scene is undoubtedly the most terrifying scene.

……

Just two minutes after the Gonggong strategic nuclear submarine launched 48 Xuanyuan cruise missiles in succession, shrill alarms instantly rang out in the military bases of all EU member states, and the first EU member state to be hit was Sweden.

“What the F!”

When the Swedish Defense Minister woke up from his sleep, he rushed to the combat command room immediately. When he saw the dense red dots on the radar, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling and couldn't help cursing.

"You bastards!"

"What are you all standing there for? They are about to enter the airspace above our land!"

The Minister of Defense looked at the many generals and defense committee members in front of him who were at a loss. He slammed the table and his face looked abnormally red. It was obvious that his blood pressure was seriously beyond the normal level.

"Captain, they are too fast, exceeding Mach 15, and their exterior should be coated with very advanced stealth materials. Our anti-missile system cannot track, lock, or intercept them..."

Faced with the Defense Minister's roar, a senior general in charge of Sweden's defense anti-missile system had no choice but to stand up. He looked sweaty all over. The air-conditioning in the combat command room was clearly turned on very high, but the sweat on his cheeks still kept flowing down.

When Defense Minister Swick heard his subordinate's answer, his face suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean? Are we going to watch them blow all of us up?"

This is the core of Sweden's national defense. If war really comes, this will be the first place the enemy will attack, so Swick is not exaggerating.

"Captain, according to the system data, the altitude of these cruise missiles has always remained between 8000 and 10000 meters. They are most likely not heading for us, but simply passing through us."

Even though this statement was somewhat of a gamble, at this moment the senior general could only tell Swick his analysis and speculation truthfully.

When Swick heard this, his expression kept changing. In the end, he said nothing. He just stood in the center of the combat command room with a sullen face, looking at the densely packed red dots on the radar. It was like entering an uninhabited area, passing through their territory at an extremely fast speed.

Because these Xuanyuan cruise missiles passed across the sky, and their speed was very fast, it only took tens of seconds for them to enter the airspace over Swedish territory and then leave the airspace over Swedish territory.

However, for all the senior generals including Swick, every second of these short tens of seconds was a great torture, and every second seemed as long as a century.

That feeling of powerlessness invaded everyone present.

If these cruise missiles were headed for them...

Whenever they thought of this possibility, they felt a chill spreading in their hearts. Finally, these cruise missiles flew away from their territory and temporarily entered the Baltic Sea. According to the direction of these cruise missiles, they would enter the Polish territory in ten seconds.

"Who do you think their target will be?"

When Swick saw these cruise missiles disappear from their radar, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and finally asked in a hoarse voice.

"Captain, based on the system's inference of their paths, seven member states, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, and Italy, are all at risk of being attacked."

Upon hearing this, the senior general next to Swick immediately responded to Swick's question.

"If Poland is also unable to intercept, then we can only count on Italy."

Swick was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

Among the many EU member states, Britain and France take the lead, followed by Italy and Germany, while the military strength of Sweden and Poland ranks ninth and seventh among EU member states respectively, which means that they are not as good as the best but better than the worst.

"Captain, what if the seven member states we just speculated are not their targets?"

A senior general hesitated and asked Swick this question.

“That’s deterrence!”

"It's a provocation!"

"Or a warning!"

Swick took a deep breath. Compared to someone in an EU member state being attacked, he obviously hoped that this would be the possibility, because if these cruise missiles fell in any EU member state at random, it would be a big deal. At that time, all EU member states would not be able to choose to stay out of it, and the war would most likely spread throughout Europe, and it would even be very likely that the S3 season would be started because of it.

There is no choice in this matter. If an EU member state is hit by a missile attack and other EU member states do not respond, the EU will be on the verge of dissolution. Therefore, if this happens, whether other member states are willing or not, they must work together and have a consistent attitude towards the outside world.

“Where do these cruise missiles come from?”

Swick looked at the people in front of him and asked, "Can we trace the source now?"

A senior general shook his head and said, "Captain, these cruise missiles came from Norway. If we want to know where these cruise missiles came from, we may need technical support from Norway."

"Forget it, let's not talk about tracing the source for now."

"Hurry up and prepare a car for me. I need to meet with the Prime Minister to report this matter. I'm sure that the leaders of all EU member states have been disturbed by these cruise missiles."

Swick shook his head and before leaving, he told many senior generals: "Pay close attention to the direction of these cruise missiles, and strengthen exchanges with other member states. Report any situation to me immediately."

"Yes, Captain!"
