He believes his fleet has been lingering in the sea for far too long, everyone is eager for a battle, and in the blink of an eye, the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is catapulted off the aircraft carrier. No contact was made; this mission might have been to protect America from the Gra Valkas Empire's incessant aggression, but it is far too boring.

On the command ship, rear admiral received a message of Admiral. It says as followed: "The armed force has decided to raise alertness to DEFCON 1 for the first time in history, and with the corcerns of Mr.President in the war. Gra Valkas Empire's action of unnecessarily usage of nuclear weapon upon the allied forces along with the supporting European troops. Potential outbreak of nuclear exchange is imminent once USSR is fully involved in the conflict, therefore I advised 6th fleet to take action upon command. I repeat, 6th fleet shall take action upon command"

"No fucking way..." He muttered.

He can't believe what he's just heard—a nuclear weapon being used? Sure, America used a nuclear bomb once, and it caused a lot of unrest, particularly in New York City, which resulted in government buildings being vandalized. When he looked out at the ever-expanding cobalt blue sea, one question came to mind. Is it time to attack the opposing side?

He grab the radio, bark the order out loud and clear for the entirety of the fleet.

"All aircrafts on standby, combat group be ready to advance per order"

He obtained satellite images of an area near the coast and in the city of Gra Valkas Empire, which was undefended; the empire was unaware of the presence of the US 6th Fleet in their backyard. It is an excellent opportunity to launch a surprise attack and end the empire's aggression once and for all. However, because Ragna is the most heavily defended city in the world, almost like Baghdad on Earth, it could pose a threat to his soldiers; therefore, he differentiated both the landing force and the main fleet, making such operations easier to carry out if push eventually came to shove.

Civilian look as the army mobolize through the street, elderly look away as it reminded them of terrible war in the past, a massive mobolization from Soviet Armed Force will shake the Earth once more. Within Kremlin senate, important figures of the party discuss what they should do in this operation. They couldn't turn their eyes down from this second nuclear attack.

Gorbachev sat down on his chair, looking about the room, seeing that everyone has been gathered. He open his mouth to consult with his party member.

"Committee for State Security, you may speak"

"Yes, Comrade Gorbachev" He said as he stand up from his seat.

"The Gra Valkan prisoners we took from Mu revealed important information. There are 11 major military establishments on the Mu continent, two of which have already been destroyed. Moving on to homeland defense, they have over a hundred anti-aircraft installations and a few more anti-personnel weapons. There are five main military bases on their territory, the largest of which is located in the capital city of Ragna. According to the provided layout and information from the prisoner, Ragna has nearly the same city layout as Tokyo. Additionally, there is a potential uranium mine in the empire's northern zone."

Another person from Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union also stand up after chairman of Committee for State Security concluded his report.

"The Armed Forces considered using ICBMs to retaliate against a nuclear attack, but we lacked the effective range to reach their mainland. We looked into sending a squadron of Strategic Missile Forces to Mu and then transporting them to Louria. Comrade Yazov, do you have anything to add?" He turned his face toward Minister of Defence.
