The losses suffered by the United Fleet sent shockwaves across the entire globe.
Not only were the upper echelons of Britain and Gaul enraged, clamoring to deploy their militaries to annihilate Sky City, but the leadership of Eagle Country and Ursa were also taken aback. Their focus, previously fixed on Annam, was momentarily diverted. They had not anticipated that the military strength of Sky City would be so formidable.
In the eyes of Eagle Country, a fleet composed of Britain and Gaul was nothing special, but that was only by Eagle Country's standards. A joint fleet of such magnitude was something even Ursa would not dare to underestimate. In the 1960s, while Ursa’s navy ranked second globally, it was not yet at its peak—that would come in the eighties. Its tonnage was significant, but its technology lagged behind Eagle Country and the traditional powers of Ouzhou. At this moment, to face a carrier strike group equipped with four aircraft carriers and a vast array of destroyers and frigates—anyone other than Eagle Country would have to kneel. Yet, such a powerful fleet had been all but wiped out by a nascent force. How could the world not be shocked?
