Chapter 234: No Choice

"An urgent order from the President:

All Allied combat units in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean are prepared for tsunamis and severe earthquakes; Be prepared for the evacuation of scientific research institutes and heavy factories. On the basis of the 'No. 13 Plan', the Army immediately entered the mode of responding to large-scale ecological disasters, and the deployment of the fleet must not be changed without authorization, and it will persist until the last moment.

May God bless the alliance and bless the planet. ”

-- The Presidency of the League, a direct order of the Ministry of Defense.

Some people say that the best way to extinguish a fire is to detonate a huge bomb next to the fire, preferably a cloudburst bomb, so that the oxygen in the space can be sucked away, and the flame will naturally be extinguished.

The same happened in the middle of a makeshift camp set up by the 114th Panzer Division in eastern Pittsburgh.

The 114th Panzer Division also suffered some losses in the attack with chemical weapons, some of the wounded, command structures and supply depots were wiped out, and only a few survived.

But the officers and men of the 114th Panzer Division did not have time to grieve, and out of necessity, the advance commander did not consult for too long, and decided to inform the front-line soldiers of the situation they were facing, and under the influence of the solar storm, there were almost no civilian radios available, so the panic of the population also became an irrelevant matter.

The 114th Armored Division needs to cooperate with the TF Brigades, which are rushing from all over the Washington theater of operations, in various ways to defuse the "Second Icarus Crisis".

In the simplest terms, if these TFs don't enter Pittsburgh, which has become the paradise of Hades, the big guy in the sky, they may fall directly, destroying most of the world, more than a billion people.

Compared to the billions of people who can be saved, the 300,000 or so people who have just died instantly become less important. Although not many people want to admit it, many times, life can be measured in numbers.

Not to mention, the dead and the living.

"The Carnegie Center for Scientific Research, located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Mononga Hira rivers. It used to be a research institute directly under the League in Pittsburgh, and it was transformed into the ground control station of Icarus fifteen years ago, but it is still more biased towards scientific research and the like, and it has a full set of Icarus control authority, but the authorization level is not high, and it is unlikely that Icarus can be controlled directly from here. ”

Jessie removed the gloves from her hazmat suit, revealing her metal mechanical arm and gesturing across the holographic screen on the map table.

"Actually, I've wanted to ask this question for a long time." Ling Yu looked at the picture on the holographic screen, "Why the laser interception system on Icarus." Will it be handed over to the ground command? And how can the ground control the laser interception system on Icarus more accurately than Icarus? ”

"During a solar storm, Icarus turns off all observation and sighting equipment, thereby handing over the operation of the interception system to the ground, when, in fact, in a strong solar storm, even if the observation and aiming is forced, it will not be able to hit the target." Jeuncy knew that Ling Yu would definitely ask this question, and then gave the answer. "As for why the ground can control the laser interception system......"

"It's top secret, but it wasn't two hours ago." Jesse shifted her gaze to Rianna. Liana raised her hand and rubbed her hair, sighing, "This is split management. ”

"Icarus is an extremely terrifying being, not to mention Rios, any random thing thrown on Icarus can cause disaster on the ground. Therefore, at the beginning of the design and transformation, the first thing that the alliance that had just recovered from the first Icarus crisis did was to ensure that this crisis did not happen again, and the best choice was to divide the management. ”

Leianna shook her hand and scratched out some information. Then he picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out one and lit it, and sorted out his thoughts, "The ground control center has two advanced abilities, the first is to lock all the thrusters of Icarus, and the other is to take over Icarus's laser interception defense system, the former is to prevent Icarus from falling artificially after it is captured, and the latter is to prevent Icarus from being captured, and the alliance cannot send the assault team to recapture Icarus." ”

"Thanks to the bureaucrats of the Alliance for not allowing the ground to directly control the propulsion of Icarus, otherwise there would not have been such trouble." Logan sighed and smiled helplessly.

"This design, strictly speaking, is not a mistake, after all, Icarus is not a joke, if I come, I will also design a split management." Ling Yu nodded, then shook his head helplessly, "At the end of the day, I still have to thank our dear, David. Commissioner Morgan. ”

"It's a textbook Murphy's Law, no one could possibly think of it...... Solar storms, Morgan's mutiny, Washington's bait, Charl. Pierre...... What a horrible guy. ”

Jesse didn't smile, she rarely kept a straight face and whispered.

"But we'll get him," Ling Yu said softly in a low voice, as if to cheer himself up, "So, what are the details of the action?" ”

"According to the results of drone reconnaissance, the ACA does not have an ordinary armed force in the urban area, there are about 20-30 TFs, but these TFs are scattered in many places and are not concentrated in the ground control center, so we still have a chance." Liana raised her hand and flicked the ashes of her cigarette, "The alliance has urgently mobilized more than a hundred excellent TFs to fight with us, and there should still be a chance." ”

"By the way, the most elite, how is the Icarus garrison?" Ling Yu raised his head and looked at Riana, if there was a strong man like Mo Keke with an overwhelming advantage in strength, I am afraid it would be much easier.

"Mo Coco was ordered to be stationed on Icarus, and now all of Icarus' delivery pods are not working, so I can't count on it," Reanna shook her head, "Although there are still many top TFs on the way, don't expect too much, the entire alliance of Mo Coco's level can be counted on one hand, and most of them can have your combat power is already very good." ”

"So, if the alliance also has any seven TFs, then our Ling Yu classmates will probably be on the list." Logan shook his hand, pursed his lips, and turned his head to look at Jeunse, "I'm really jealous of your adventure." ”

"We don't have time to talk nonsense," Ling Yu interrupted Logan with a shake of his hand. "How do we get in?"

"Helicopters are the easiest way, UAVs did not find large air defense equipment, although the storage of man-portable air defense equipment and special TFs with anti-aircraft capabilities is not excluded, but we can't wait for other equipment."

"It's good that the helicopter lands," Ling Yu nodded, looking at Jiesi. "Is the equipment all right?"

"No problem, this new type of protective clothing has a self-sealing function, oxygen can support for five hours, if the information is correct, the anti-chemical equipment in the ground control center has been turned on, and it doesn't matter if you get injured inside."

Jesse nodded, indicating that there was no problem, but still added, "I optimized a few programs." If the suit is damaged, the antidote will be injected automatically, but inhaling a certain amount of poison gas will lose the ability to fight, and with the help of the antidote, we can wait for rescue support in place for a maximum of twenty minutes. ”

"Then try to keep our possible exposure time to a minimum." Ling Yu was sure that there was no problem, and finally turned his head to look at Rianna, "When are we going to enter the arena?" ”

"By order of General Yang Song-taek, five minutes later. Other commandos will attack, and we will enter the field. However, the specific deployment time should be based on the progress of other TF teams, and we try not to become the target of public criticism, but when the two sides are deadlocked, directly insert into the target location. ”

"Let's go, then." Ling Yu, who had received the answer from Rianna, grabbed the helmet on the table and examined the Enigma Pistol and the Shimmer Dagger behind him. "We don't have much time."

"The alliance has already launched its first ICBMs."

Just as Ling Yu, Logan, and Jesse walked out of the room, Riana's voice came from behind them.

"I'll keep in touch with you, and if the nuclear attack is successful, I'll contact you to withdraw it."

"Thank you. Big sister head. ”

Of the three of them, only Jiesi smiled and thanked her, Logan gave a thumbs up, and Ling Yu shook her hand bluntly.

Because no one believed it would work.

***

Ling Yu sat on the edge of the cabin, looking at the brightly lit Pittsburgh in the distance, because Pittsburgh has not been under the threat of the ACA Air Force, so there is no need for light control, only a basic curfew has been implemented, so the city still maintains the same as before the chemical weapons attack, but it is silent.

Soon, this silence was broken. More than 100 TFs of the Confederate temporarily assembled around Pittsburgh and attacked Pittsburgh in different formations.

They were accompanied by volunteers from the 114th Armored Division, whose combat strength did not suffer much loss, and after reintegrating the command structure, the 82nd Division temporarily provided a batch of equipment and put it into battle.

The ACA didn't have a normal combat force, but four hours had passed since the attack, and four hours was enough for the ACA to set a lot of traps in Pittsburgh to delay the Allied attacking forces.

And the helicopter that Ling Yu and the others were riding in looked at this qiē from a distance, as if it was just a bystander.

Although it is said to be a helicopter, what Ling Yu and the others are riding now is a turbofan rotorcraft, which is just habitually called a helicopter, and this plane, including the pilot, is all from the 82nd Division, which was urgently transferred back from the front line for reinforcements.

"I just received information that the first nuclear bomb attack was completely ineffective, all warheads have self-destructed, and none of them have successfully detonated."

Jeunse. Meinuo sat opposite Ling Yu and shook her head at Ling Yu, "ACA is well prepared. ”

"Didn't you achieve the saturation attack effect?" Rogan held a sniper rifle and asked, as he had been watching the situation in the city of Pittsburgh.

"It is one thing to be able to carry out a nuclear counterattack at the first time, and it is another thing to be able to guarantee the success of a nuclear counterattack, and today, when the laser interception system is mature, it is no longer the era of a hundred years ago when a few shots from Dapo Cave could scare neighboring countries." Ling Yu also attached the binoculars to the helmet mask, "I think the order should come." ”

"That's right." A red window suddenly popped up on Jesse's arm, and the girl skimmed through the contents, "We're ready to enter!" ”

"Let's go!"

With a wave of Ling Yu's hand, the turbofan that had been circling along the east immediately turned around and pounced directly on the ground control center located in the northwest of the city!

Almost at the same time, thirty or forty drones flew by the gyroplane, seven or eight of which remained around Ling Yu's turbofan, Ling Yu noticed that these were meat shield drones carrying camouflage signals, this kind of drone can emit the same electromagnetic and infrared signals as the protection target, and the purpose of the design is to escort the VIP plane in case it is attacked by shoulder-mounted air defense weapons on the ground.

"This is support from Andrews Air Force Base," Jesse nodded, "the Presidential Guard." ”

"But the situation doesn't seem to be optimistic."

At the moment when Jiesi finished speaking, a surface-to-air missile burst out of the middle of the building, and the targeted drone broke away from the formation, flashed directly to the side, and then was bombed into a brilliant firework.

"I can't care so much! Rush out! ”

Ling Yu shouted at the cockpit, and then the turbofan and the surrounding drones were added at the same time and rushed forward.

At the same time, three or four drones were again sparked. (To be continued......)
