The sound of a gun turned the attention of the whole Federation to the television.

As all the fleets participating in the joint military exercise arrived at the designated position, the joint military exercise officially began.

I don't know if it's a coincidence. In order to make this joint military exercise more valuable, all participating countries are divided into two camps. It's just that the Federation and gavra are not in the same camp!

Some people say it's a coincidence, others say it's not a coincidence, but whether it's a coincidence or not, everyone knows the meaning behind it more or less, including those tramps.

The TV in the street window is on 24 hours, and the radio station is full of content related to the joint military exercise.

Even the trading volume of the three federal exchanges was temporarily stagnant when the first gun of the joint military exercise sounded - there was really no trading volume for such a short moment.

Lynch is also watching the joint military exercise, together with others, Mr. Truman, some people in the Navy and some people in the army. They gathered at Mr. Truman's home.

In order to show his importance to the cause of national defense, Mr. President will watch the military exercise at the Ministry of defense and civilian generals in the Ministry of defense today, accompanied by on-site commentators.

Mr. Truman didn't follow the past, and there was no need for him to be present today, so he invited some military people to his home to watch the exercise, and found a reason for this.

It is said to experience large-scale TV together. Lynch, as the sponsor of TV, will naturally be here.

Everyone was watching the changing scenes on TV. Lynch suddenly asked a question, "what would happen if someone shot a non target ship?"

He was afraid that he didn't speak clearly enough and said it in detail, "for example, in the confrontation, some exercise ships of the opposite camp suddenly hit our ship with a gun. What will happen?"

"Will a war break out?"

"So who's with whom? Is it sorted according to the current camp?"

In an instant, he took everyone's attention away from the TV and back to him.

The soldiers were a little confused, and Mr. Truman lost his ability to think in a short time. They never considered this problem.

After all, this is a multinational joint military exercise. Although it is a live fire exercise, it is unlikely to happen as Lynch said.

There was indeed an exchange of fire between the two sides. At the beginning, the possible misfire was also taken into account. Therefore, the target ship was separated from the exercise ship. They were not in the same place. Even if the accuracy was poor, it was unlikely that there would be accidental injury.

Mr. Truman came back to his senses. He made simple eye contact with several other soldiers and gave Lynch an answer. "It's impossible. The whole process of the exercise has been discussed. We just follow the script."

"The real exercise actually started three days ago, but we didn't pay enough attention. At that time, the content was sailing and cutting into the battlefield quickly. Now the project is small-scale encounter."

"In fact, the two sides of the exercise basically had no chance to meet on the battlefield. They were separated in two sea areas and then attacked the target ships respectively."

"The picture we see now is actually a visual illusion, so it is unlikely to happen as you said."

"Next is battlefield support and landing, and the final decisive battle."

After listening to Mr. Truman's explanation, Lynch slightly solved some doubts in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "If so, it would be great. After all, we have only one fleet..."

There were some changes in the faces of everyone in the room except him. Mr. Truman frowned and thought for a moment, got up, went to the study and dialed the phone.

Mr. President is also watching the drill at this time. He is surrounded by some invited and influential celebrities, as well as various officers of the Ministry of defense.

The Ministry of national defense has arranged special people to explain the exercise for Mr. President and these people from all walks of life. There are many reporters on the scene. The pictures here are also inserted into TV programs from time to time.

The Colonel explained in a loud voice, which could be heard by the whole room. It was not difficult to find from people's smiling faces that everyone was in a high mood.

From the beginning of the exercise, the federal performance was very good, which was not boasting or anything. The federal warships performed very well in data and performance, and their mobility during long voyage and battlefield insertion ranked among the top three in the exercise.

It is not the warship itself that cannot be ranked first. In the final analysis, it is the problem of sailors and warship commanders. They have not participated in any large-scale naval battle and obviously lack a little experience in this regard.

Some people think that deduction can improve the commander's command ability, which is actually just an assumption.

The simplest problem is that "hit" means 100% hit in deduction, but it may not be able to hit in actual combat.

Battlefield entry is also how to quickly and effectively enter the battlefield and form efficient firepower to directly intervene in the war. It is not a matter of saying a few words and pushing forward with a few warships in hand like a child playing a war game.

Slightly deducted a point in terms of timing and specific entry angle.

But it doesn't matter. The federal government hasn't considered getting a full score in this military exercise, as long as there is an average score.

After all, it's about participation, isn't it?

At this time, someone suddenly approached the president and said something in his ear.

The president was a little surprised. After he confessed to others, he gave a look to a admiral in the room, and they went to a small room together.

There was a phone on the table. The president picked it up and said, "I'm with the... Admiral. I'll turn the phone outside..."

He said, put down the phone, and then pressed a button. Now the sound in the receiver has changed from the receiver to the telephone horn, which can be heard in the whole room.

"Mr. President,... Admiral, this is Truman. We were watching the exercise just now. During the exercise, Mr. Lynch mentioned a hypothesis. Is it possible that there will be accidental injuries during the exercise..."

The unnamed general immediately denied, "no, it's unlikely that there will be accidental injury. The attacking and defending sides are actually in two parallel waters and can't see each other. Others are unlikely to hurt us by mistake, and we won't hurt others by mistake."

"Unlikely, that's possible, isn't it?" Mr. Truman's voice was very serious. It looked a little strange through the horn, but the atmosphere in the room became serious.

The unnamed general hesitated a little and finally agreed with Mr. Truman. "It's possible, but it's like being hit in the head by a pie falling from the sky."

The president seemed to think that Mr. Truman at the other end of the phone was making a mountain out of a molehill. He smiled and said, "this should not be a problem that can perplex us, Truman. I believe they can do well."

Mr Truman said, "we have only one fleet, and new warships are still under construction. If our warships encounter a 'misfire' because of some accidents, it will be a devastating blow to the national defense and security of the Federation!"

The president, who was originally very relaxed, immediately realized the seriousness. In fact, in the final analysis, they were still a little "timid".

The battle with gavra was forced to a desperate situation and had to go to war. From the beginning, they did not consider winning the battle head-on, including the use of submarines.

At that time, the requirement of the Ministry of defense was that even a collision would cause a fatal attack on gavra's fleet.

If the submarine had not made meritorious achievements, it would be the federal fleet that would have been wiped out.

It is absolutely impossible to resolve this hatred by a few words and some political compromise.

Like a "coincidence" in this exercise, gavra and the Federation are divided into two camps.

If they suddenly use the "wrong mark" to attack the federal fleet, they can bring a devastating blow to the unsuspecting federal fleet in an instant.

Gavra people have no fleet, they have other main fleets, and they can continue to frighten the whole western ocean.

If the federals lose this fleet, they will only have some training ships left.

If "shameless" can make a country rise again and a newly promoted power decline, the president suddenly felt that if he replaced himself with emperor gavra, he might not do so.

The smile on the president's face narrowed. "What do you think, Truman, you shouldn't just tell our fleet that there may be danger, right?"

"Yes, Mr. President, I hope you can authorize the commander of the front line to enter the state of level II war from this moment. Once we encounter 'shelling', we will fight back immediately instead of waiting for authorization!"

The president looked up at the admiral, who nodded in agreement with the idea.

"I see. Your opinion is very important. I will communicate with the front-line commander immediately."

After hanging up, the president asked the Admiral again, "if those things Truman worried about happen, will the warships and personnel we now have be able to support the national defense and security of the Federation?"

"And how long will our new fleet be in service?"

The Admiral shook his head. "Now all we have left are some training ships. They were eliminated more than 20 years ago, but they are of little value."

"If someone invades us at this time, we will completely lose the initiative and the coastal front line will be completely reduced to gunfire."

"Even our new warships will be destroyed without a chance to enter the water, Mr. President."

Hearing this result, the president mentioned the phone without hesitation, "help me transfer to the joint military exercise command..."
