Volume IV, Chapter 24, War Not Visible, 2118
December 2117 to April 2118, four months.
Many towns in western country A, including Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, have been attacked by hellhounds and giant bats...... Salt Lake City, Angel City, St. George, Phoenix, Yellowstone National Park area...... Even the northernmost part of the West, Seattle, near Canada, was attacked, forcing Canada to step up its border forces...... Among them, Las Vegas suffered a second attack and suffered heavy losses.
The western part of country A, from south to north, is constantly ignited by the flames of war. The elites of country A are still unable to predict the area where Cerberus will attack next. For four months, the only thing that was fortunate was that the eastern part of country A was not attacked.
Before the advent of Cerberus and Protozoa (H7N9), the western part of country A was built as a base for high-tech industries such as information technology, and the eastern part of country A was a base for heavy industry. After the appearance of Cerberus and Protozoa (H7N9), the western industrial base of country A began to migrate to the east, and as of April 2118, the high-tech industrial base of country A has basically completed the migration to the east, so at this moment, fortunately, the loss of the western battlefield of country A is not fatal, so that the economy of country A has survived the collapse.
But where is the next target of Cerberus, will it be the east of country A, and the elites, dignitaries, and generals of country A are not sure. As early as 2117, when the city of raccoon was attacked, the Federal Earthquake Information Center of Country A – National_Earthquake_Info_Center (NEIC) began to think of a way to predict the behavior of Cerberus through the federal seismic network, because, according to all the information, Cerberus came out of the ground, not fell from the sky. Unfortunately, due to the economic recession and the lack of human and technological resources, the NEIC project has not progressed much. There was also a suggestion that the project should be entrusted to country C to assist in the completion of the project, but the constitutional problem caused this proposal to be quickly rejected.
Why the flames of war are burning only in the west, people do not understand why. However, this is clearly unfair. Why are we treated differently in the same country? Some people did not leave the west and fled to the east because they did not want to leave their homes. But more people are in it for food. Since the beginning of the plague, the domestic economy of country A has been in name only, and food and water, and even jobs, are rationed. Under the latest law, people who have fled from the west to the east of country A will not be provided with work placements, as well as food, water and medicine. If someone kindly takes in the "fugitives", then he will have to distribute water and food to the fugitives, and there is a risk of being convicted.
Fortunately, since the beginning of the plague, only a small number of people have fled thanks to the help of the whole world. Some people also said, "The refugees in the western part of country A are the happiest refugees in the world."
Robots, which are mainly produced by country C and provided for use in country A. As of April 2118, the first batch of 1 billion robots under the Pacific Rim Compact has been delivered.
The main sources of food are the war reserves, country C, and the countries of South America. So, from the beginning of the plague to the present, the people of country A have never worried that they will go hungry, at least for 10 years, and even in this generation, they will not worry about this problem. Almost all people in country A are full of confidence.
They believe that Congress A will soon win the war, as promised by the president of country A in various television news.
On the battlefield, in general, from the city of Raccoon, where you were at a loss in the first battle, to the battle victory in the battle of Las Vegas and the capture of a live Cerberus. The Western Corps of Country A is clearly constantly accumulating experience in battle.
Statistics show that from January 2118 to April 2118, in four months, the army of country A has killed a total of 1,105,320 cerberus, that is, nearly 1 million, and killed 425 giant bats...... Moreover, the number of people who have been preyed upon by giant bats has begun to decline rapidly. In the city of Raccoon, nearly 1,000 people were looted by giant bats in the first battle, and more than 500 people were also looted in the battle of Las Vegas...... And in the fighting in Seattle, only 20 people were taken.
After the release of this set of data, to a large extent, it also suppressed the panic and flight of the people.
Defending towns and passive defense has never been the strategic thinking of the people of country A, whether it is in the Second Tran Star War, the Iraq War, or in the long-term global war on terror, the army of country A has smashed the enemy's nest. In the Second Transtar War, in Asia, Army A hit the mainland of the small Japanese country and dropped the atomic bomb, in Europe, it hit the Gilman country of Berlin, forced the "Führer" Hitters to death, captured the leader of the enemy country Saddam Hussein alive in Iraq, and beheaded the leader of the Chicken Land Organization in the war on terror, Binla, etc......
In what way and with what signs will this war with unknown creatures end?
There is no doubt that in the vision of most of the people of country A, the scenes of "Starship Troopers" will continue to come to mind, and most of the people believe that there is a brain worm deep beneath the stratum, manipulating Cerberus and giant bats in some way, and they have even given this brain worm a good name - Satan.
The top leaders of country A have not openly supported this idea of the people, but the possible existence of enemy underground bases has always been on the agenda for reconnaissance and exploration. If, Satan really exists, then there is no doubt that it will be the next Hitus, the next Saddam, the next Binra, etc......
In fact, after the battle in Las Vegas, the headquarters of the A Army sent an underwater robot (remote-controlled mini-submarine) to explore and search the underwater depths of Lake Mick, hoping to find the exit of the Cerberus army. Some cave exits have indeed been found underwater, further confirming that Cerberus did indeed come from underground, and not from the "Portals of Time and Space" as some claims have been circulated among the populace.
But, further, where do these caves lead, and where do they go, are they part of a vast network of caves? There are no conditions for exploration yet. Until April 2118, the equipment used for exploration was still only in the design phase.
In January 2118, country C was interested in joining the equipment design for exploration, but country A refused.
