“…… What a battle! Our worst enemy is not the ACA at all! It's the bastards of Congress! Every year, I wish to deduct a penny from us, you don't know that the soldiers on the front line in Mexico are still using equipment from more than ten years ago, and those new equipment are obviously in the real room, but we can't afford it, we have asked for a replacement several times, and the bastards in Congress say 'the economy is in a recession', but they have the money to spend all their time! If you want me to say, these officials and old men should be damned! Deserve! ”

-- A street address by a radical Confederate veteran.

A few months later, when all the aftermath of Operation Candlewax had subsided, the most important grievances of the legislators against the military were that the entire war zone was extremely chaotic and the ACA could infiltrate a large number of TFs, and the "Pittsburgh Massacre" was not strictly controlled. However, the military pointed out that it was also the cabinet that called for a large-scale evacuation of refugees at that time, and that in the face of the influx of millions of refugees, the alliance could not carry out effective screening, and on the other hand, the military also pointed the finger at Congress - the military repeatedly demanded that the construction of military facilities in non-theater areas in North America be strengthened, but the congressmen rejected the military's request for a supplementary budget in the four fiscal years 2175-2178, and the hawkish military officers even said in public that the disaster in Washington was "the self-inflicted work of the officials." What's more, at the time, the voices of parliamentarians had had little effect on the Allied military, and the people's strong desire for war had made it almost impossible for the government to control it, let alone hold some of its officers accountable.

But the timeline hasn't advanced to that point yet, and it's still the morning of May 7, 2178, and both the Alliance and the ACA are planning their own offensive strategies.

The hour hand pointed in the direction of two o'clock in the afternoon, and Ling Yu finally received the order to attack again.

"To put it simply, urban warfare is bad for the Alliance." Liana waved her hand on the map. An approximate ratio of forces between the two sides appeared on the electronic map, and under the electromagnetic suppression of the ACA, the information obtained by the alliance was not accurate, but it was enough for reference, "After capturing Fort Meade at about 7 a.m., the 54th Panzer Division of the ACA. The 36th and 107th Panzer Divisions had completely crossed the Potomac River, completing their cantonment near Arlington, and the Confederate reconnaissance forces had an organized withdrawal. ”

"Is this the main direction of attack?" Ling Yu nodded slightly, "What is the strategy on the Alliance's side?" Put it in and fight? ”

"Well, the armored forces of the ACA have obviously been strengthened for urban warfare, using all wheeled electromagnetic assault vehicles with reinforced active defense equipment, with a small number of lightweight tracked tanks, which is also more convenient for shipping." Liana raised her hand to draw out a hologram of several armored vehicles, "And the 82 Rapid Reaction Division has just retreated." It is still equipped with heavy equipment suitable for plain warfare, and once it gets caught in urban melee, the losses will be great. ”

"So they're going to put the ACA's armored division on the plains west of Winchester?" Linya held her chin with her fingers, "But in this case, the ACA's numerical advantage can also be brought into play, and the advantage of almost 3:1 is almost 3:1, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win." ”

"That's why the Air Force is here to help." Rianna zoomed out a little to reveal several military airfields, including the USS Mississippi waiting at Newport Naval Harbor. "Currently, the 158th army aviation in terms of attack aircraft. The 88th and 171st Wings have been assembled, and the air superiority is handled by the 12th Wing of the Naval Aviation Department on Mississippi and the 155th Air Force Wing stationed at Franklin Base in Philadelphia, in addition, a AWACS formation drawn from the Third Fleet will also arrive at Fort Bradley in the afternoon. ”

"In addition, one of Bismarck's squadrons of strategic bombers already carries the latest 'Immortal Bird' split multi-role missiles. Air Force Base in Lancaster, Ohio, is on standby, ready to participate in the attack. ”

Liana lit a cigarette, took a puff, and flicked the ashes off in a paper cup.

"So the plan is clearer, if we can destroy the ACA's EMI equipment. And temporarily paralyze regional air defense weapons, then the ACA armored forces, lured to the plains, will become targets. Logan nodded and smiled lightly, "The immortal birds have been taken out, and the alliance has also been beaten this time, and these armored troops will be gnawed to the point that there is no scum left." ”

"So powerful?" Ling Yu turned his head and glanced at Logan, "I've heard of this thing, but how strong is it?" The ACA must be prepared, after all, there is no air supremacy, it all depends on the interception system. ”

"Let's put it this way, an immortal bird is loaded with 12 sub-warheads, each sub-warhead can reach a speed of five Mach per hour, if this is not enough to penetrate the defense, the immortal bird or the separation of the projectile body design, the second-stage engine of the sub-warhead will be taken to the target to interfere with the laser and other directional interception equipment, and the missile itself is also designed with a decoy warhead, after entering the final strike program, it will first shoot a small warhead without much charge, trick the interceptor equipment into firing, and then use the time of the laser launcher to cool down, hit the target. It is announced that the probability of penetrating the first-level target is 75%, but in fact, the three tests are 97%, 93% and 91% respectively" Han Fei gently pushed his glasses, "As for why I know so much...... Although it is a bit of a violation of the confidentiality regulations, I wrote the penetration procedure, and I am confident. ”

"By the way, the price of this thing is the highest tactical missile, but the range and launch effect are far inferior to the tactical missile, when it was originally designed, there were more components of technical verification, and the allied air force purchased a small part, mainly for technical testing and development of tactics, I estimate that the Bismarck base will have about 30 rounds at most, I estimate that the main task of strategic bombers is still carpet bombing, using the most traditional bullet rain to break through the opponent's interception equipment, after all, use this to fight tanks...... The League can't afford to burn either. ”

Han Fei smiled coldly, and he didn't know if he was laughing at the fate of the ACA Armored Division, or if he was laughing at the stinginess of the Alliance.

"Speaking of which, you remember the first time Anderson approached me for that mission." Ling Yu raised his hand and patted Han Fei's shoulder, "At that time, the price was 10 million general coins, which was the price I didn't dare to imagine, who would have thought now." In fact, it is the price of such a missile, first in Istanbul, a missile rain knocked out tens of billions, and I am afraid that it will have to knock out hundreds of millions. ”

"Didn't you say it earlier, 20 percent of the people hold 80 percent of society's wealth," Rogan whistled softly. Brushing his hair, "Ling Yu, you have always thought that you are the 80%, but in fact, you are also 20%." ”

"What is the market value of Kronos's company," Linya also followed Logan and began to joke with Ling Yu, the two are now more and more husband and wife, "I heard that the market value on the surface is one trillion general coins, and there are many government-protected black accounts in private, and Ling Yu, the major shareholder, must be that 20%." ”

"This ......" Ling Yu raised his head, only to feel Helis gently tug on his sleeve and look at him with an expectant look.

But it's more of a threat. If you don't tell it, you will hack out your accounts for everyone to see.

Why are you so interested in this?

"If you carefully calculate all these years, if you count them all, I will inject almost a billion dollars into Kronos Company." Ling Yu calculated, "But you have to count inflation." ”

"Billion ...... Tsk, a billionaire actually rubs a house with me to live ......" Logan and Linya glanced at each other and smiled a little hard, but this income is normal for a serious TF, after all, it is not like Logan who eats alone for ten years.

Kronos closed on the NYSE yesterday afternoon at 135.77 tokens per share.

Helis casually turned the cat's ears. Then continue to make up the knife.

By the way, I did a casual search. Ling Yu, you have at least 10 million original shares, I mean not counting your hidden disguised identity.

"Original stock !!" Even Logan, who was born in a wealthy chaebol family in Europe, was frightened and took a step back, "Don't do it!" What are you doing! Let's sell Ling Yu and become a rich man!! ”

"I have an agreement with Kronos...... These shares cannot be sold...... And dividends cannot be withdrawn. Ling Yu smiled bitterly and tried to divert firepower, "Besides, even five billion is just the price of a missile attack!" ”

"It's different," Han Fei coldly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. To make up for the last cut, "8 million is the purchase price of local governments, and the purchase price of the army is much lower, which is the strategy of the alliance all along, separating the military supplies of various local governments." On the other hand, if the local government wants to form its own armed organization, the arms complexes controlled by the alliance will sell weapons at extremely high prices, which can well limit the centrifugation of the alliance member countries, or the self-respect of mercenaries. ”

"And the Kronos company is a supplement in the middle of this chain, after all, the unified allocation of resources in many cases, there may be a series of problems such as lag or cumbersome procedures, so when the local troops are in urgent need, the Kronos company can urgently call and transfer a batch," Han Fei took a breath and ended the long popular science, "So in fact, the alliance didn't cost much money, let me tell you another news, the alliance is in the Vladivostok industrial base in Siberia, if it is established during the war, One hundred thousand surface-to-surface tactical missiles can be produced in a month. ”

"The industrial capacity accumulated over hundreds of years in the northern hemisphere is really something that the local tyrants and nouveau riche of the ACA will not be able to catch up with for a while." Liana pressed the cigarette in her hand on the edge of the paper cup and brought the topic back to the right track, "Closer to the point, as long as we can take out the regional air defense system and reduce the casualties of the bombers, we can blow up the ACA's armored forces on the plains." ”

"I have one more question." Ling Yu nodded and added a question, "What if the ACA doesn't continue to attack?" ”

"They must attack," Lyanna shook her head slightly, "time is on the Alliance's side, and their only chance is to break through the defenses of the 82nd Division, attack Winchester, and then attack directly to Pittsburgh before you destroy the air defense system. ”

"So, the winner is between now and tomorrow morning." Ling Yu nodded to show understanding, "To be precise, before it gets dark and nightfall, because the effect of the bombing will be greatly reduced by dark, if the assault fails, the ACA is likely to disperse into squads after nightfall to carry out continuous lurking and sabotage on the east coast, or carry out strategic maneuvers to reinforce the northern route." ”

"Honestly, I still think the ACA's staff must be crazy." Linya still added, "How do you think these armored divisions are here to send them to death, and there is no chance of victory, what is their purpose?" Just throwing such a large number of troops into this dead place just for the sake of such a gamble? ”

"There must be something we don't know yet." Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "Anyway, it's good to see the move." ”

"So how do we get into Washington?" Ling Yu glanced around the map table, and no one had a problem.

"No, we're not going to Washington." But Liana shook her head suddenly.

"Task Force Seahawk will help us infiltrate Baltimore, we need to destroy a large theater air defense facility at Cape Rokester, west of the eastern waterway, and a submarine will be there to accompany you," Riana continued, adding, "Other commandos will also be involved, and this blow should destroy the ACA's regional air defense, but be careful, the other side should be able to think of that." ”

"Anyway, this is the first shot of a counterattack." Logan raised his hand and brushed his hair, "It's worth me than sneaking down the drains." ”

"Do you want to shout, 'Roberson, we're coming?'!" Ling Yu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'd better leave that to Washington." (To be continued......)
