Chapter 154: The decisive battle against Calcutta

Ordinary people are the most vulnerable to politicians inciting them into a state of feverish hysteria, especially when that sweet lie is wrapped in a cloak of extreme patriotism, and its practical effect will be far beyond the expectations of the person concerned!

-- Li Feng's memoirs

In Japan, the chain reaction triggered by the destruction of the fleet was brought back on the right track by the violent intervention of the state apparatus, although the prime minister benefited from the complete power that took power completely. However, a national movement involving more than 100 million people that has spread to all corners of the country wants to stop all at once, in the end, such an idea is still a little too naïve. After all, if history is any guide, how many of the final outcomes of similar movements launched with different purposes in the past few thousand years have not exceeded the limits of the original intention of the initiators?

While Japan's new government was scrambling to sort out the turmoil and turmoil, the situation in the South Asian subcontinent changed irreversibly and decisively in those days. With the successful encirclement of the main force of the Indian army and its central government in the city of Kolkata by the multinational coalition led by the new Chinese state, the longest foreign war since the founding of the People's Republic of China has finally come to an end!

But speaking of which, in order to achieve the final victory in this protracted war. During this period of fierce conflict, both sides paid a terrible price for this! Rather than the Xinhua Kingdom, which chose to sacrifice a large amount of decommissioned equipment, materials, money, and part of the sovereignty of the occupied areas to its allies for military assistance, so as to reduce the casualties of its own soldiers. The kind of change that the current Indian government has made is a bit unpalatable. After all, although the war that gambles on the fortunes of the country is a bloody and cruel life-and-death struggle, the transformation project that violates the most basic human morality of human beings can be popular in the country, which is really a little unwatchable!

The modification technology provided by GDI can completely turn an ordinary person with feelings into a perfect humanoid fighting machine that only knows how to kill. This is one of the main reasons why the coalition forces of nearly one million, which have a huge advantage in terms of weapons and equipment, individual soldier quality, commanders' abilities, and strategy and tactics, are still unable to win quickly. Of course, in the process of this process, GDI Mumbai's selfless and generous large-scale free arms and material aid also had a great deal to do with the subsequent large-scale military intervention of Governor Miles, the supreme commander of the NOD Asian Military Region, who regarded the South Asian subcontinent as his backyard and had long since become a vassal of his own.

After all, since the complete failure of his military campaign to interfere with Xinhua in his sphere of influence, the largest remaining territory is in India and Pakistan. During the war, Xinhua exploded many NOD outposts that were in the way of the army's advance, and aided Pakistan, which had a hostile relationship with Pakistan, with which it had a hostile relationship. Such a provocation that is almost a direct declaration of war has further intensified the huge contradictions between the two sides that already have enmity!

As a result, in the local conflict between the two sides, as the casualties of the troops on both sides continued to increase, the scale of the battle gradually evolved from the initial small fighting to a full-scale war that never stopped. At first, the Xinhua coalition did not take these former subordinates and defeated generals seriously, but as a large number of new weapons that had never been seen in the past sprung up on the battlefield, they continued to gush out. The commanders of the Xinhua Kingdom, who underestimated the enemy's rash advance, finally paid a bloody price for their arrogance!

The total annihilation of three heavy clone divisions and one Wehrmacht infantry division, the permanent loss of more than 300 warplanes of all types, the short fall of the Natara Pass as the only logistical supply line to maintain the lifeblood of this war, and so on, are the high tuition fees paid by some people because of their extremely inflated self-confidence. Of course, this kind of thing cannot all be blamed on them on the front line, if the hundreds of thousands of friendly troops to which Pakistan belongs can play their due role and plug the gap in time, maybe the outcome of this battle will not become so tragic! After all, ten times the enemy's military strength has become a 5:1 battle loss ratio, and no matter how you explain this matter, I am afraid it will only be depicted more and more black!

The undisciplined incurrence of Governor Miles has turned what was planned to be a month-and-a-half-month battle into a brutal war of attrition that will come to an end. However, soon, under the devastating and devastating offensive of the Xinhua Army after the readjustment of tactics, the NOD, which had suppressed the rise of the Xinhua Kingdom in the past and suffered a great loss of vitality, was naturally defeated immediately! Although they relied on the advanced military technology that Kane gave away for free for the purpose of **, they made countless powerful equipment. But even if hundreds of Holy Spirit mechs armed to the teeth and equipped with a full set of auxiliary equipment {mobile stealth generators, secondary laser cannons, and stealth detectors} were dispatched, and nearly 1,000 stealth tanks launched the most luxurious counterattack! But even with such a first-class attack capability, the heavy corps still can't turn the tide of the battle that has fallen into decline on the front line. After all, you have your Demon Transformation Holy Spirit Mecha Group and Guerrilla King Stealth Tank Unit, but Li Feng, who learned about this, also sent all the super heavy mobile corps composed of the Ghost King Mecha, Steel Ronin, and Super Fortress after the anti-hidden demon transformation to disrupt the situation!

The fully embodied Holy Spirit Mecha is indeed powerful to the point of exploding, but no matter how powerful you are in Niucha! I'm afraid I can't be comfortable enough to fight ten mechs that are two-thirds of their height, regardless of the dead and wounded, gnaw and hug {binocular high-energy laser plus savage collision}! Besides, there are a whole bunch of intrepid steel ronins below you, tirelessly wielding the Wave Energy Broadsword to chop your toes, feet and necks, and as a Holy Spirit Mecha, your outer armor is strong and durable! But if you continue to work so some hard-working little things relying on special anti-armor weapons, I'm afraid that there will always be times when your thick thighs will be ground into two sections.

And those stealth tanks that came to the rescue can rely on their long missile range and flexible maneuverability to hang and fight these humanoid machine monsters wearing terrifying ghost armor, but if you don't grasp the distance a little, the opponent may have a charge wave, and the armored vehicle will be immediately restored to the original part state by the powerful energy. Hey, who made the maximum range of the two weapons a few meters apart! So in this way, the original one-sided cat and mouse game gradually evolved into a life-and-death contest in which both sides won and lost each other.

What is happening on the ground may be heartbreaking enough, but if you look up at the blue sky, you may be surprised to find that this is not the end of the story! Because the "Super Fortress", a terrifying monster that was considered impossible to create in the world of origin, is scanning everything that moves on the ground with the green eyes of its big head. Although this floating thing can move slowly, it is undeniable that this thing has brought a lot of oppression to the hearts of human pilots on both sides of the enemy! And with the devastating ionization beam in the mouth of the brain shooting out wave after wave, the battlefield that was still lively to the death suddenly became extremely deserted in this indiscriminate mass destruction attack.

When the belated large number of cockroach anti-aircraft combat vehicles and extremely aggressive Banshee fighters finally broke through the obstacles set up by the Pakistani army and arrived on the battlefield, there was almost nothing complete left on the ground except for the steel wreckage that was burning with billowing smoke all over the ground. And dozens of huge and hideous heads in the sky moved slowly and heavily towards the opponent's location again at this moment, and then with the thousands of intelligent missiles that were instantly fired by countless hidden quadruple missile launchers, the last formed combat unit on the battlefield finally turned into countless dust and debris in the crackling explosion forever.

The unexpected outcome of the total annihilation of most of the main forces in the war naturally frightened the hearts of a certain governor, who was not very good at military affairs. As the war on the front against Xinhua continued to deteriorate, the original strategy of frontal engagement had to be forced to change to guerrilla warfare due to the rapid decline of the territory and the serious depletion of combat forces. However, the interesting thing is that this governor with a not very bright head has given full play to the characteristics of a bald head who is good at guerrilla warfare with NOD weapons and equipment, which has caused the allied soldiers who have no experience in anti-guerrilla warfare to suffer more serious physical and mental torture and trouble. After all, human beings are flesh and blood creatures who need to eat and rest, not only tireless fighting machines that know how to carry out orders! But the other side's 24-hour uninterrupted armed attack caused the base to be alarmed, and the soldiers even had the opportunity to have a good dream became an impossible dream!

In the face of these flea-like bites and runs, Li Feng, who has never had discipline, quickly came up with a more damaging coping method. As for the idea of losing the horse? It's actually quite simple. Then the "full-screen firepower coverage" that the US imperialists loved to use in the past! To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter how many civilians there are near the target, or what important cultural landscape civilian facilities there are, once it is found and confirmed, as long as it is not an area with dense Tiberium ore, it doesn't matter if it is 3721, I will cover it with firepower for an hour! Anyway, ammunition was only a few days' output for a large number of newly built military factories across the country at that time. Rather than destroying them in large numbers after they expire due to too much storage in the future, it would be more meaningful to take out the enemies who are running around in a foreign land now!

Under this indiscriminate and undisciplined madness, the loyal people who had originally supported the NOD in waging guerrilla warfare had to flee for the sake of their own lives. Although the poor civilians with hatred in their hearts joined their camp in large numbers to solve the problem of serious shortage of troops, the overly aggressive revenge mood made it easier for them to reveal their whereabouts in the following attacks. In this way, not to mention the fatal damage inflicted on the coalition forces who have been camped away from the urban residential areas, even the patrols with radio stations alone have only been abused. So I didn't play for a few days, and the tens of thousands of troops that were finally gathered and reorganized in the previous war were also covered by the unsolved firepower of the created no man's land, and the attack was killed, and there was not a single one left!

It is naturally unlikely that the remnants of the NOD who have lost the support of the source of cheap conscription want to turn over some big storms! However, the mobilization of two-thirds of the troops and resources during this period of time to frantically encircle and suppress them did give the Indian government, which was militarily close to the end of its crossbow, a god-given respite. So with the active cooperation of a large number of professionals sent by GDI, Kolkata, a city that has been the temporary capital since New Delhi was robbed by the NOD, has been revitalized again!

The good geographical location and convenient transportation conditions make it easier for the GDI troops in Mumbai to send all kinds of war materials here for the next transit operations. Before Tiberium descended on Earth, the third-most populous city was naturally the best place to draw raw materials for humanoid battle golems. After all, in this magical country, only the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and other caste nationals who account for one-third of the total population of 500 million can receive the full ration of food every day, and the remaining two-thirds of the Shudras with even lower social status and the Dalits, who are not even human beings, can be regarded as a blessing of heaven even if they can get a one-third of the quota! It's just sad that even a slightly older dog may not have enough to eat for a day, not to mention feeding a three-year-old child.

The monetary system collapsed due to the rapid depreciation of the war, the prices of goods rose like a roller coaster, and the wages received by the foremen and the government in and out of the city were frantically squeezed by the foremen and various government taxes.

The salary package of rising and falling has made people's lives more and more difficult. But even if they had considered rising up against tyranny together, the evil caste system that had been left behind for thousands of years had long since drained the little courage they had had. Occasionally, some awakened people may raise their arms and shout for the benefit of everyone, but there are very few who respond positively because of their servility.

The pursuit of life is an inevitable instinctive reaction of any normal creature, but as a high-level primate with extremely high intelligence, human beings are entangled by both reason and emotion. Knowing that it is oppression and exploitation, he does not dare to muster up the courage to resist and face the reality in order to survive.

Since they did not dare to sacrifice their precious lives for freedom, it seems that obediently obeying and becoming a soldier of the Republic of India, with a casualty rate of more than 75 percent, seems to be the only option for their families and themselves to continue to survive without starvation in this desperate world! After all, those who join the army can receive the full amount of public food for the whole family on a regular basis, and if they are unfortunately killed or missing on the battlefield, their relatives will also receive a high pension of nearly 10 million rupees to subsidize the family. {The current dollar-to-rupee exchange rate is 1:10,000} These seemingly very good benefits have become reasons for knowing that you will die but have to die in order to live.

The reality seems beautiful, but the truth is extremely cruel! In fact, the mortality rate of low-caste people like them who do not have a high social status is not the so-called 45% as officially advertised at all, but 100% of TMD's deaths! After all, as a raw material to accept adjustment and transformation, as a battlefield cannon fodder who has no emotion and only knows how to obey the killing, do you think it is possible to survive the high-intensity confrontation with Xinhuaguo? TMD! Why did such an unfortunate errand fall on Lao Tzu's head? Oh, maybe that's the sorrow of you as a lower caste! After all, if you don't choose Shudras and Dalits, can you still choose the ruling high-caste Brahmins and Kshatriyas?
