"That's right, the ion storm may not have been created by any facility, but by the radiation energy of those Taijing materials after a large amount of accumulation, and this is extremely probable." Lin Hai continued, "So originally we thought that as long as we could blow up the large shield deployed by the Sijing people in New York, we would be able to destroy the ion storm generation facilities they had arranged in the city, just like destroying the storm pillars that could also produce ion storms, but obviously, the storm pillars were the products of imitating those Taijing aggregates to produce ion storms. ”

"The Sijing people have spread too much Taijing material in North America, and it is too difficult to reduce the area of the ion storm by destroying them, or even eradicate them. We didn't know enough about this kind of thing, so by the time we found them to be extremely dangerous, they were deeply rooted in North America, covering a large amount of land, especially in the New York area. It is almost impossible to use the orbital ion cannon to remove the Taijing as in Japan before, the ion cannon cannot smash the main body of the Taijing that is dozens or hundreds of meters deep underground, and only remove the Taijing on the surface, and they will be able to re-cover the surface in less than a day and re-use the energy they continue to radiate to generate storms. ”

"And Dr. Kane also said that with the increase of time, these crystals will grow bigger and bigger, and the resulting ion storm clouds will also cause great damage and impact on the earth's environment, and now the environment in the New York area does not look like the earth at all."

The holographic projection also changed the image with Lin Hai's words, and finally, a group of photos appeared in front of everyone in the form of projection.

The background of these photographs is quite dark and cold, and in the shadows, there is a lot of dark green material, like plants, like crystals, covering the earth, and between those things, there are many huge things like mountains and rocks standing there, and there are also dark green reflections flashing on their surfaces.

"This is an image taken back by the reconnaissance unit of the M Army." Although many of the "people here" already knew what the contents of the photos were, Lin Hai still explained what these photos were, "Because the drone cannot penetrate the Taijing diffusion area, and the satellite is difficult to penetrate the ion cloud, they can only send a reconnaissance team into the area controlled by the Sijing people for reconnaissance." Just these few photos, they also paid the price of hundreds of casualties to get them, and they were only reconnoitring on the perimeter, and the ground personnel did not succeed in entering the deeper area. ”

"Sijing and Taijing may have some close connection, their combat effectiveness in the area covered by Taijing is much higher than in the area without Taijing's existence, so the M Army's previous many counteroffensive operations, as long as the troops enter the area where Taijing exists, they will be repelled by the Sijing troops who have repelled before. Because of the strong electromagnetic pulse of the ion storm cluster, even if it is military equipment equipped with anti-EMP devices, it will still be interfered with when used in that area, at least some precision equipment will be difficult to use normally in that area, and unmanned aerial vehicles and manned aircraft will fail or even lose control. This means that we will have a hard time getting air support when we are operating in the area covered by the North American ion storm. ”

"But didn't Dr. Kane build a better EMI fighter before? Can't you use it now? Sun Dahai asked, he was the one who returned to North America with Lin Hai when Sijing was spreading Taijing in New York, and he was also the one who had seen the batch of strong anti-jamming drones that Kane had improvised made.

"That thing is expensive, the manufacturing process is complicated, and it is only somewhat useful in the early stage of the ion storm, and when the environment stabilizes and the ion storm becomes the norm, that kind of strong anti-jamming drone will not be of much use." Lin Hai casually called up another set of photos, "This is the photo we secretly sent out before, taken by a strong anti-jamming drone, and the location is very close to the edge of the original New York City." ”

The content of the new photo is similar to that taken by the M army, except that between the shadows of the clouds and the ground, there are many more lightning columns, connecting the sky and the earth, and illuminating a large area around it, in those dark corners without lightning lighting, there are a huge number of hazy giant shadows - the drone's camera has extremely high definition, and the analytical imaging ability of the holographic projection equipment is also very strong, and the officers "here" have better eyes, and everyone can see clearly what those huge shadows are.

"That's the New York City building, right?" Zhao Wu asked.

"Exactly." Lin Hai nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at the impostors, "Our drone took the photo at this edge location, and then returned to the base to let us get the photo." The previous drones had all lost contact with the base through an invisible line, and we basically got stuck on the edge of the line that had been drawn with the loss of dozens of drones. In addition, in that area, the drone can not communicate with the rear at all, whether it is to direct it, or to transmit the captured video, photo data, all of them have been strongly interfered with, the drone is using a self-discipline system, according to the order set before departure, take a picture on the edge of the line and come back, otherwise we may not be able to see these photos until now. ”

"Obviously, Taijing has covered the entire urban area of New York, and has grown hundreds of kilometers into the urban area, of course, this does not rule out the Sijing people have additional dispersal to accelerate this process, but this has proved that it is impossible for us to remove the Taijing that is spreading outward with New York as the center - although regardless of the cost or the future environment of the earth, we can still come up with some ways to solve them - but now, these Taijing, like the Sijing people, have become an important obstacle for us to recover North America."

"Sijing people are not too big a problem, fighting with them in a conventional battle is nothing more than who has more armies, whose equipment and technology are better, they themselves are not special in terms of strategy and tactics, even if there are human commanders of the Brotherhood who are helping them command the ground forces, but those people are absolutely impossible to play with the military command elites of all countries around the world." Purely technical problems, Sun Dahai naturally has no way to solve them, according to him: Dr. Kane, who is hundreds or thousands of times smarter than him, can't solve it immediately, and he definitely can't do it, but he still has something to say about the war, "But fighting in this area, I personally think that Taijing is more difficult to deal with than Sijing." Entering the Taijing dispersion area, all human electronic devices, including us, will be affected by interference and reduce efficiency or even paralyzed, but the equipment of the Sijing people can be enhanced in some way, and the change in the strength gap between us and the Sijing will make the previous data invalid. Coupled with the fact that we will not be able to get air support, the cost of capturing New York will be extremely high if we succeed in relying on ground forces alone. ”

"That's why I thought about using orbital bombardment to reduce the combat pressure on the ground troops." Regarding the problem mentioned by Sun Dahai, Lin Hai is naturally very clear, for this battle, he has also studied various intelligence materials, "This time, Dr. Kane's technical verification facility, the newly arrived combat space station, will also participate in the battle." The space battle we fought with the Sijing people in the past had already caused us to lose too many orbital ion cannon platforms, so the combat space station with more powerful ion cannons was a good firepower replenishment and support platform - it had a lot of cannon on it. Dr. Kane and I calculated that although the Taejing will regrow in a relatively short period of time after being destroyed and destroyed, there will still be a growth process, and the time will vary depending on the degree of damage. We can take advantage of this time difference and use the time period of the ion storm that has been temporarily reduced after clearing the Tai Crystals on the surface to fight. Of course, there were other problems during this period, such as the destruction of a large area of Taijing, but the ion storm did not disperse as we expected, which affected our battle plan. ”

"So the North American war, should it be postponed for some more time?" "Shall we wait until Dr. Kane's lab has more progress?" ”

"A postponement is unlikely." Lin Hai shook his head and said, "We have postponed it once before because Europe was invaded on a large scale by the Sijing people, and if we postpone it again, those feelings of dissatisfaction with us will be more easily stirred up. While we're not afraid of these people jumping out and looking for trouble, we don't have to ask for trouble either. So we can't postpone going to North America, but we can make some adjustments on this and figure out more ways for Dr. Kane to buy time. ”

"So we can go to North America, but not necessarily in combat?" Zhao Wu asked, "Or is it just to cooperate with Army M to launch some small-scale exploratory attacks?" ”

"Equipment and personnel, definitely going to North America, but it won't be put into combat right away, and we have many ways to prolong this process." After Lin Hai transformed the map into a map of North America, he began to briefly explain the preliminary objectives, and the detailed plan will be formulated by the General Staff after the meeting, "Basically, we will divide the operation of the main battlefield in North America into several stages. ”

"Transporting troops and equipment to North America in batches, and then sending a small number of troops to test the area controlled by the Sijing people, as well as assisting the M Army in defense, are currently within the scope of the first phase, which will last for a longer period of time, so that we can collect more battlefield information, and also allow time for Dr. Kane to research more information."

"In the second stage, we will be able to determine the specific time based on how much information we got in the first stage, of course, this time is not an indefinite wait, we still decided on a bottom line, that is, half a year. Half a year later, no matter how much we figure out about Taijing and Ion Storm, we will launch an attack on the area controlled by the Sijing people - but the intensity of the attack still needs to be determined by intelligence. ”

"As for the third stage, it is based on the fact that we need to basically crack it, or it should be said that we will start a full-scale war after we have a better understanding of Taijing's intelligence, but at this stage, there is too much intelligence support needed, and the staff does not need to prepare too detailed plans in advance, because we are not clear about those key information, and the plans formulated in advance may not come in handy."
