260 We don't admit it
An urgent battle meeting for the puppet Empire's counterattack is being held in Seris Castle, and everyone attending the meeting is a prominent member of the Iran Hill Empire's top brass.
"If possible, the use of nuclear weapons is the best option." In the well-lit conference room, Luo Kai, chief of the General Staff of the Supreme General Staff of Iran Hill, touched his chin and frowned.
In front of him was a large map detailing the location of his troops along the westward railway. The position of the enemy is still relatively vague, only in the counterattack section there are some improvised arrows.
However, for the higher-ups of Iran Hill, the situation is very clear: the high-level mage troops of the puppet empire are fighting back, and the counterattack is quite ferocious. These forces caused considerable trouble for Iran Hill's forces, and even some of the defensive lines were on the verge of collapse.
"Yes, you're right, this is probably the nuclear strike with the highest consumption ratio. It is estimated that it can eliminate at least 30 high-level magicians in a single attack. Defense Secretary Kastner nodded in agreement with Rokai.
"But we had to think about other things." Foreign Minister Tryed reminded with a heavy face. He glanced at Chris, who had not spoken, and expressed his opinion.
Kastner nodded in agreement: "That's right! We do need to think about other issues, but Grigken's attitude is secondary, and the most important thing we need to consider is what our own people think. ”
Luo Kai glanced at the defense ministers swaying on both sides, holding the pen in his hand and rubbing it vigorously. He pondered the words in his mind, hoping to convince His Majesty the Emperor to use a nuclear strike to turn the tide of the war.
"A nuclear strike will cost more than half of our soldiers on the front line, and the rest will not end well." Secretary Smith, who was familiar with the power of nuclear weapons, was worried about his own side.
He looked at Chris worriedly, and opened his mouth to put forward his opinion: "This level of blow will affect our morale...... Perhaps this is the sinister purpose of the puppet empire to gather such a large army. ”
"Yes, after a nuclear strike, our soldiers will leave a shadow, fearing that we will push them to the front line and die with the enemy......" Luo Kai was also worried about this kind of thing, which is the main reason why he did not directly implore Chris to use nuclear weapons.
If this really happened, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of Alan Hill. This kind of indiscriminate attack on one's own people in order to combat the enemy is a very taboo thing in any era.
Although many have praised the hero's order to open fire on himself, if there are about as many soldiers on his own position as there are enemy soldiers, covering his position with artillery fire is a callous choice.
"Is it okay to use nuclear weapons in the rear of the Magic Empire's attacking forces? In this way, it will not affect our military personnel. Dean on the side asked on a whim.
"But this will not affect the high-level mages of the puppet empire...... They are all fighting on the front line, mixing with our soldiers, and the relatively safe distance for our army is the same for them. The Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Butolia, shook his head and answered the question professionally.
Those damn mages seem to be more resistant to nuclear radiation, and nuclear radiation, which poses no threat to normal mortals, is even more insignificant to these mages.
What's even infuriating is that if they weren't in the middle of the explosion, these magicians would have enough defenses to survive the brink of a nuclear strike. And if they were to be the center of the nuclear strike, the Iran Hill forces would suffer heavy losses.
"At least destroy some of the enemy's follow-up forces, right?" Desel touched his chin a little unwillingly, looked at Butolia and asked.
"Yes, that's for sure. However, in order to eliminate some of the puppet figures, the direction of our attack was exposed to nuclear radiation...... Not wise, right? Before Butolia could explain, Castena on the side replied helplessly.
"For at least a month, our offensive will be hindered, probably a little longer than the puppet soldiers who follow us will be able to hold us back." Luo Kai also shook his head, feeling that it was not worth the loss to use nuclear weapons to attack those subsequent puppet soldiers.
"In addition, a nuclear strike may upset the balance of nuclear deterrence, and the other side may restart the plan to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor......" Luther, who was in charge of His Majesty's security, looked at everyone around the long table and reminded.
"This is the biggest problem, Your Majesty's safety must be guaranteed!" Luo Kai then added: "There is no action, higher than His Majesty the Emperor. ”
He glanced at Chris, who had not spoken, and continued, "And the attitude of the Grecken side will also be affected...... If we were thinking about attacking the puppet empire's legions of high-level magicians, we could ignore Grecken's attitude, but it wouldn't be worth it to bomb a group of follow-up puppet troops who didn't have much combat power, at the cost of provoking Grecken's anger. ”
"That's it! Don't dwell on it anymore! Deliver that small tactical nuclear weapon from the experiment to the front line! Prepare for a limited nuclear strike on the forces of the puppet empire! Chris finally spoke, commanding slowly.
"Your Majesty, your safety ......" Deser was worried about Chris's safety, and persuaded him: "Even if the 1st Army is wiped out, your comfort will ......"
"Don't worry, we don't admit it! Anyway, the other side has always guessed the power of nuclear weapons, and now if we throw a small one, they will even suspect that we have put in some new means of attack. Chris interrupted his exhortations and opened his mouth to reveal a secret weapon plan.
Anyway, I'm going to bully you that you don't have the means to monitor radiation! The new type of tactical nuclear weapon does not have any large-scale radiation contamination, and the troops can enter the explosive area at any time to fight, and it is a very advanced nuclear weapon.
Alan Hill has also recently worked overtime to design this new nuclear weapon. The entire weapon system is in the laboratory stage, and there is no way to even produce it in large quantities.
When Chris took out this weapon, he mainly thought that when the current situation occurred, he could quickly destroy the enemy's front-line troops without causing large-scale nuclear radiation.
However, due to the limited technical conditions, the manufacturing progress of this weapon is still slightly behind the war situation after all: problems have broken out on the front line, battles have already begun, and this weapon is still in the experimental stage.
Therefore, as a last resort, Chris could only order the troops to take away the experimental materials in the laboratory and use them first - although he didn't know what the effect was, Chris felt that since it was developed for use, there was no need to dwell on it.
The name of this new weapon is called the shock wave bomb, which is a low-power nuclear weapon that weakens nuclear radiation. Bombing the frontline troops of the puppet empire with this thing will not have much impact on the environment.
Because the explosion was not very powerful, Elanhill could not admit that he had used a nuclear weapon, so that even the Grecken side would not be able to make any comments.
As for the puppet empire, because the mage corps on the front line has not been directly hit, the loss will not be too large, so it will not jump over the wall in a hurry and move to assassinate Chris again.
"In addition, when our troops faced the main force of the Magic Empire, the combat effectiveness they showed was remarkable! This also shows that our technology can compete with magic! Chris looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "So there's nothing to worry about, just follow the path in front of us!" ”
"Yes! Long live our emperor! Everyone stood up and shouted loudly.
An hour later, in the heavily guarded laboratory, technicians and soldiers armed to defend the tactical nuclear weapon pushed out the nuclear bomb, which had not yet had time to be painted with a nuclear radiation danger mark.
They carefully and carefully installed the nuclear bomb in the warhead of a new Scud missile that had just been produced, and then loaded it into an armored car designed to transport valuables.
Escorted by numerous cars and helicopters, the armored car drove to a combat-ready airfield on the outskirts of the laboratory, where a standby C-130 transport plane was waiting, ready to take off.
After about half an hour of loading preparations, the transport plane, carrying the latest blaster bomb, which is still in the experimental stage, took off from this little-known field airfield and flew to the front line under the escort of four MiG-21 fighters.
At this time, the battle on the front line was still raging. The high-ranking magicians of the puppet empire are trying their best to defeat the difficult forces of Ellan Hill in front of them. It was not only the headquarters of the 1st Army that was overwhelmed, but also the senior commanders of the puppet empire.
In their opinion, since the main forces were used, the enemy's defense line would definitely be quickly broken through. But they didn't know that they had bumped into the best equipped and most tenacious troops in the Irlanhill Empire.
It was a commendable success to make General Walter begin to worry about the collapse of his troops. At least, a magical empire like the Holy Demon Empire does not have the ability to do such a thing.
In the same way, General Walter, who has never taken the Magic Empire into account, has truly understood how powerful the high-level Magic Empire really is this time. Such a terrible army, even under the blow of advanced new weapons and equipment of Irlanhill, has the strength to fight.
