On May 5, 2033, a solemn surrender ceremony took place in Tokyo Bay, Japan.

The ceremony was broadcast live to major global media, with countless media outlets gathering here, and at this moment, the eyes of billions worldwide were focused on this event.

Attending the ceremony were Japan's current Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple Yiteng, Japan's Supreme Commander Sugiyama Hideaki, Imperial Army's Chief Commander Araki Kenichi, Beautiful Country President Jesmin, and other prominent figures, including representatives from global powers such as Hua Country, Mao Bear, Great British Empire, and France.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, sunlight glittered on the sea's surface, with an immense battleship lying there.

In the distance, there were also destroyers, escort ships, cruisers, and other vessels, appearing like mountains floating on the sea, making an impressive sight.

That battleship, equipped with nine 600-mm caliber giant cannons angled towards the Sky Dome, looked like an ancient castle, its bow resembling a sword, the deep blue hull shining coldly in the sunlight, massive and solid.

On the deck, flags fluttered high, soldiers in navy uniforms stood on both sides of the deck, arms folded behind their backs, each with a look of pride and arrogance written on their faces, viewing others with a sense of supremacy.

This battleship was naturally the Yuan Shou, which had gained fame in the Ryukyu Sea Battle, captivating the media's flashlights and causing a stir of exclamations.

Seeing this battleship, the expressions of Xiyuan Temple Yiteng and others were unpleasant, because it was this warship that caused the downfall of the Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group. Without this battleship, they wouldn't be compelled to appear here.

"Is this that battleship called Yuan Shou?"

Jesmin looked at the battleship with an uncontrollable hint of envy in his eyes.

Despite possessing the world's strongest carrier force, battleships were simply too impressive; such giant ships and cannons seemed like masculine muscles, filled with male hormones, making it difficult for both men and women present to avert their gaze.

"If only the battleship was ours, Japan."

Xiyuan Temple Yiteng muttered internally, his gaze filled with unwillingness.

The strongest battleship of WWII, Yamato, was constructed by Japan; however, it never got the chance for battleship duel on the ocean dominated by aircraft carriers, and its 460-mm giant cannon never roared, being sunk by carrier aircraft in the sea.

Nearly a century later, the Yuan Shou battleship constructed by the Jieke Group has already sunk two of Blue Star's most powerful nuclear-powered carriers and damaged one, as history repeats itself.

The only constant is that Japan continues to play the victim role, facing the peak Beautiful Country during WWII, and now confronting the rising Jieke Group, continuously suffering from the strong.

The people on site were unaware of Xiyuan Temple Yiteng's thoughts, they were just intently observing this magnificent battleship.

As everyone boarded a small boat to go to the Yuan Shou, they could more clearly feel the ship's immense size.

Especially those 600-mm caliber Biological Plasma Cannons, with a barrel extending over 30 meters, could easily fit several strong men inside, the deep cannon mouth seemed ready to spray flames capable of destroying everything anytime, a shock far surpassing that of a carrier.

At 11:30 am, on the Yuan Shou battleship, the military song 'Navy Supreme Leader March' played, as whistles blared across the vessel, and the flag belonging to the Supreme Leader slowly rose on the mast.

When Xiyuan Temple Yiteng stepped onto the deck, none of the navy soldiers saluted, only glaring at him with sideways glances, an invisible pressure engulfing the scene.

Some of those belonging to the Marine Corps on the Yuan Shou all served as Genetic Warriors, whose murderous atmosphere caused many high-ranking individuals in Japan to tremble, their hearts filled with terror.

Xiyuan Temple Yiteng's face turned slightly pale, uncertain whether it was due to illness or fright.

Through communication with Beautiful Country, Beautiful Country completely ignored Japan's interests, bluntly demanding Japan to accept the Jieke Group's terms and surrender to it.

At that moment, Xiyuan Temple Yiteng realized that Japan had been sold by Beautiful Country, becoming one of the conditions for the reconciliation between Beautiful Country and Jieke Group.

Of course, Xiyuan Temple Yiteng's heart was stifled with anger, but facing these two powerful forces on Blue Star, Japan had no choice but to comply. If not for Beautiful Country's unwillingness for the Jieke Group to monopolize benefits, all of Japan would now have become a vassal of the Jieke Group.

As the music played loudly, the South Alliance delegation appeared on the deck of the Yuan Shou; the deep green military uniform signified the An Nan representative, pure white shirts, shorts, and long socks denoted Australia representatives, deep brown green with deep blue bordered by red stripes represented Siam, and pale yellow military uniforms designated Luzon.

These colorful military uniforms, along with dazzling medals and sashes, overwhelmed the eyes entirely.

The only exception was the soldiers on the Yuan Shou, all directly under the Jieke Group, from generals to ordinary sailors, "Although the military outfits were new, they all wore utility shirts as military attire, not tying ties nor wearing medals, completely different from the regular or ceremonial uniforms for formal occasions.

Through this action, Jieke Group expressed its contempt for Japan.

At the core of the South Alliance delegation, a gentle-faced man led the crowd, with everyone half a step behind him.
