Chapter 233: Not in Africa
“…… Therefore, even after several targeted killings by the Alliance, the ACA still has the capital to restore its space capability at any time, and we can argue that if it were not for Icarus's survival, then the Alliance's own spacecraft alone would not be able to maintain absolute control over the universe, and as long as the ACA does not destroy the Alliance's control of low-earth orbit for a day, it will not be possible to make a large-scale breakthrough on any front......"

"I thought we were going to Africa, but I ended up in the back garden of the ACA."
"Under normal circumstances, the Alliance's Caribbean Fleet would be able to sail here in a few hours, and the ACA dares to restore this base, and it is really bold enough."
"Quiet."
French Guiana, a small country in northeastern South America, was ruled by the ACA for a while, but because it was too close to the range of the Alliance's missile and fleet attacks, it was not built as a key territory.
However, at this moment, the situation seems to be completely different.
The 133rd Mobile Force of the Alliance, that is, the power armored team led by Lin Yifeng, followed the cargo ship to the Mediterranean, crossed the Mediterranean, and then crossed the Atlantic, and came to French Guiana.
And the reason why the ACA transport ship has to go around such a large circle is because of the goods carried on it.
And not chemical weapons, but a large number of rocket components.
Lin Yifeng withstood the great temptation to sink the unprotected cargo ship halfway, because he always felt that it was impossible for the ACA to concentrate all the rocket components on one ship, and his efforts paid off, and the reward was the kourou rocket base in French Guiana.
Apparently, the ACA had restored its rocket launch capabilities while the Allies hadn't noticed. And the purpose of the ACA to launch rockets is, of course, only one.
Icarus.
Lin Yifeng's power armor was half-kneeling on the ground, he listened to the noise coming from the headphones, and frowned, the solar storm made this low-power individual communication device only communicate at a distance of more than ten meters, at most more than twenty meters. And the high-power radio station has basically become an ornament.
Fortunately, the interference of other equipment is not strict, Lin Yifeng adjusted the magnification of the camera with his eyes, in the distance, several ACA tanks equipped with electromagnetic guns are arranged in a defensive formation, and soldiers wearing exoskeleton equipment are patrolling vigilantly, it is conceivable that behind the cover in the distance, there will be a lot of heavy power armor with firepower and protection capabilities that are not inferior to their own.
ACA has made a lot of money here......
Unlike the Alliance. The level of the ACA's troops is extremely strict, and the average second-line troops, not to mention exoskeletons, can't even be assigned to every soldier with composite bulletproof inserts, let alone AI-assisted night vision devices and sonar detectors, heartbeat detectors and the like - this is what Lin Yifeng saw from a sentry's helmet and rifle in his hand.
There are elite troops, which means that he has come to the right place, and Lin Yifeng tried hard to keep himself from thinking about the next thing. Rather, it is an opening.
"Five, how did the base respond?"
He didn't turn his head. Behind him, Unit Five, codenamed "Fish Intestines", was lying on the ground, shielding the electrothermochemical cannon on its shoulder with a plant, while operating a quantum communication device.
"I'm afraid the Navy won't be able to come," Five's voice came from the headset, accompanied by the squeeze of electricity. "The Navy has withdrawn all the mobile forces in the Caribbean to reinforce the east coast, and the current Caribbean maritime defense line can only meet the basic defense to a minimum, and if the troops are deployed, I am afraid that even the ACA's submarine network will not be able to break through."
"What about missiles? Is there a missile attack available? I mean, the kind with nuclear warheads. ”
Lin Yifeng's voice was still emotionless.
"Yes, but I don't know how much penetration there is." Five sighed. "The anti-missile system here is obviously very perfect, no less than any large base in the Caribbean theater of operations.
"There's nothing to be reluctant to, after all, it's about Icarus, wait a minute, there should be a reply."
Lin Yifeng turned around slowly, careful not to let the detection equipment not far away from the opposite side discover his deposit.
Suddenly, at this very moment, there was a piercing roar from the base opposite!
Lin Yifeng made a gesture, and the well-trained people instantly stopped all movements as if they were frozen, Lin Yifeng adjusted the resolution of the camera, and his eyes fell on the ACA soldiers running around in the distance.
"It's not a search formation, we haven't been found yet......," Lin Yifeng had just spoken, but he immediately saw that the floor in front of the tall rocket launcher in the distance was split to both sides, erecting a rocket more than 70 meters high.
"It looks like we can't wait for a nuclear bomb attack, listen up, we're going to attack here." Lin Yifeng made a judgment almost immediately, he turned his head, glanced at the crowd, and was silent for a moment, "Things have come to this point, and now in this chaotic situation of poor communication. We can't count on a nuclear bomb attack from the Alliance, and even if the president has authorized it, the reaction time of a nuclear weapon is about 40 minutes, which is enough time for the ACA to launch three or four rockets. ”
"I know it's a crazy plan, four power armor to attack a fully garrisoned and possibly TF-guarded base, and risk a nuclear bomb of our own people that could fall on our heads at any moment. But we have no choice now. ”
"The worst outcome, the ACA may have some secret technology, one or two rockets can give them the certainty of shooting down Icarus, I don't want to mention many things, but I know we have to stop, rocket launch is a very sophisticated activity, if we concentrate on breaking through, it is not that there is no chance, as long as the launch equipment is destroyed, then there is a chance to stop the ACA's plan."
"So...... Is someone going to quit the action? There may be no return. Lin Yifeng made a final summary.
"Don't talk nonsense, boss, they all chased here and ran away because they didn't have the support of that group of young masters of the navy, it's so funny, it's not the first time to fight alone, what TF can do. Why can't we do that? No. 3 Lu Feng's voice came from the earphones, and the other two also nodded.
"When we were in Paris, Mobile Unit 191 was carrying a nuclear bomb, and this time we are afraid that we will have to carry hundreds of nuclear bombs."
The two, who had been silent, smiled bitterly, "Let's see what reason they have to look down on us." ”
"That's it." Lin Yifeng still spoke in a flat tone, and then nodded. "We act like this......"
***
"So, at the end of the day, the crux of the matter is the rocket."
Just when Lin Yifeng was carrying out the pre-war mobilization without the slightest incitement, Ling Yu also learned about the ACA's plan from Anderson's mouth, he smiled helplessly and exchanged a look with Jiesi,
They started in the right direction, but they weren't able to stop the ACA.
"My side is now coordinating, and I have also contacted General Yang Song-taek. But I feel that he has some authority over the matter of the Kulu Rocket Center, and I hope you can contact the president, if the president has the ability to make judgments, then the pressure on Lin Yifeng's side will be much less, and the probability of success will be much greater. ”
"I see." Ling Yu nodded, "I have an inside line that can directly contact the president, if he has woken up." Then it should be possible to get through, and I will try to help them. ”
"Thank you very much." Anderson gave a rare military salute. "It's up to us now."
"Hmm." Ling Yu raised his hand in return, interrupting the quantum communication.
"133 Mobile Troops...... Is that the outrageous kid? Logan clasped his hands in front of his chest and shook his head helplessly, "Four people dare to build a base, it's so fat." ”
"That's why we're helping them," Jesse took a breath. "It's not a matter of personal grudges now, if we can completely destroy the Kuru Rocket Launch Center, then we can even deal with it slowly, and when the solar storm passes, the crisis will naturally be resolved."
"Help me pick up the president. Eldest sister," Ling Yu held her chin and thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at Jiesi, "What is the probability that the alliance will drop nuclear weapons on French Guiana?" I want to see this, it would be best if I could use a nuclear bomb to directly blow up this rocket base. ”
"The probability is not high, although the alliance has the ability to strike globally, but with the entry into service of the orbital strike weapon on the Icarus, the technical improvement of traditional intercontinental missiles has been relatively slow, and at present it can only be used as a supplementary force, French Guiana is under the protection of three anti-missile centers, in addition to the ACA naval force with mid-course anti-missile capability stationed, it depends on the president's determination."
"I'm sure the president will be determined." Ling Yu nodded, "Anyway, we have to blow up there." ”
"What are you going to use a nuclear bomb to blow up, Ling Yu."
While Ling Yu was talking alone, the president of the Alliance, Steve. Harold's voice came out, Ling Yu raised his head, and the pale face of the president in a hospital gown appeared on the screen.
"Mr. President." Ling Yu gave a military salute.
"I've been told exactly what happened," said President Harold, who had apparently been pushed out of his hospital bed by the tension, "but things have changed, and that's why I'll answer when you call." ”
"What's changed?" Ling Yu frowned, it must be a bad thing, he even felt a ghost named Murphy lying on his neck, spewing a cool breath into his ears.
"We have just detected that three launchers at the Kullu rocket launch center launched three launch vehicles of different models at the same time, and we cannot conduct ground interception without the guidance of satellites."
President Harold took a breath, "The scientific research team has analyzed the possible attack methods of the ACA, and basically determined that with the carrying capacity of these types of rockets, the only possible way is to launch an air-launched semi-autonomous rocket engine, which adsorbed on the side of Icarus, causing a free fall. ”
"What about the laser interception system?" As soon as Ling Yu spoke, he immediately reacted, "Solar Storm!" ”
"It's Charl, it's all interlocking...... Foolproof. Logan shook his head, "What a terrible opponent." ”
"Mobile Unit 133 has begun to attack the satellite base, trying to prevent the next launch, our nuclear bomb is also ready to be launched at any time, but this is not your concern, 191 Squad, I want you to immediately launch an attack on Pittsburgh, regain the control of ground facilities, and intercept these semi-autonomous rocket engines."
President Harold frowned, "Specifics, you'll get information when you get to the base outside Pittsburgh." ”
"Understood," Ling Yu nodded bluntly, "Leave it to us." ”
"I also just learned that you have lost two people, but Unit 133 also launched a decisive assault with nuclear weapons, and if Icarus falls, more than a billion people will die." President Harold was silent for a moment, then admonished, "All the TFs in the vicinity will join in the duel attack." ”
"Don't underestimate us, Mr. President," Logan smiled fearlessly, spreading his hands, "but death." ”
"I don't want you to sacrifice, I want you to complete the mission." President Harold raised his hand and saluted, "Good luck." ”
"Good luck."
Ling Yu returned a military salute, and then watched as Rianna interrupted the communication.
"I have a hunch that this is the last link in Char's plan." Ling Yu turned his head to look at Jess and Logan, and took a breath, "Kill him." ”
"You're the boss." Jesse held out her hand and made an OK gesture.
And the command vehicle is already approaching the outpost. (To be continued......)
