Chapter 12: Nuclear Strike
"Settled the battle?" In the display panel on the main console, Renault said in surprise.
"Of course!" Frank smiled.
"Alright! Thirty minutes later, my troops will arrive in Arcadia. "Renault felt that he should need a big guy like this, and a unit without a cruiser could not be considered a complete force.
Now, all Frank had to do was wait for the Rangers to arrive, he now had no extra ground forces to control the battlefield below except for this capital ship, but the presence of a giant battleship in the sky was the greatest deterrent, and those hideous throws aimed at the ground made them dare not make any moves.
Frank was eager to get out of here as soon as possible, as he had already seen through the satellite that the main forces of the Union defenders were abandoning their military bases and were beginning to rapidly assemble their forces and advance towards New Vancouver, the largest city in the south.
As he expected, the commanders here are not general, their ideas are the same as Frank's, although the defense of the city is not as strong as their military base, but no matter how strong the defense is, it can't withstand the Yamato guns of the battle cruisers, so they choose to abandon this powerful defense and attack the city, which also makes the opponent's battle cruisers limited.
Of course, they are gambling that if Frank's battle cruiser launches an attack on the city, then it will be their end, but even if they defend the base, it is a dead end, so it is better to gamble, bet, lose but win, it is better than to stick to the base.
He bet that Frank wouldn't dare to fire at the city, and the truth is, they pressed it right, Frank really wouldn't wield a butcher's knife at the city's residents, Renault wouldn't do it, Kelligan, who has always been cold-blooded to the enemy, wouldn't do it, and no one who had the right to speak here would do it.
In this way, the defenders of the Federation believe that as long as the opponent's battle cruisers do not participate, then they still have a great advantage, they not only occupy the superior forces, but also occupy the terrain advantage, and the initiative is still in their own hands. Haode can also destroy the opponent's ground forces in the city, and at worst, it can rely on the city to enter the war phase, and this is also beneficial to your side, as long as you wait until Admiral Duke's Alpha fleet returns to the main star of Antiga, it is the moment of victory.
Frank could only stare dryly as he watched the Federation defenders quickly attack the city from the military garrison, and he couldn't pull away now.
Thirty-five minutes later, Reynolds' rangers arrived on the "Arcadia" Peninsula, and Renault, who came down from the transport plane, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene of messing on the ground, "Oh my God! You bombed the ground ......" It is hard for Renault to imagine that hundreds of thousands of ground troops were solved like this, and there was nothing else but to sigh the strength of the battle cruisers.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly!" Renault gave the order. The federal defenders here began to accept the surrender, and Renault looked around and said with a smile: "The eyes are good, I thought that even the gas refinery was demolished by you!" ”
"This look is still there! It's going to be a shame if it's dismantled," Frank communicated, "Jim! Immediately send someone to the refinery to extract high-energy gas, and immediately go all out to make new equipment! We're running out of time! ”
Renault: "No problem! ”
Now that the required resources are available and the weapon structure diagram is available, the next thing to do is to build it in large quantities.
Frank, who was on the bridge, was stunned for a moment, and then tapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of that?" With that, he immediately pointed at the main console, "Adjutant, are there still nuclear bombs on the ship?" ”
Adjutant: "There is only one usable conventional nuclear bomb of the equivalent level, and if you need it, an Apocalypse-class nuclear bomb can be built on the ship!" ”
Frank: "Ordinary ones are enough, lock on to the enemy's military station, and immediately nuclear strike on it." However, nuclear bombs still have to be built and stored, and it's not my style to before digging a pit. ”
Adjutant: "Roger!" Commander! ”
In outer space, a detection satellite immediately locked onto a military base for the Federal Army.
Adjutant: "Nuclear bomb ready, ready for a nuclear strike!" ”
Hearing this, Frank still pondered for a while, but still decided to launch a nuclear bomb, it is not like the "Aslan" base is extremely close to the local city, there are only the defenders of the Federation, and being merciful to the enemy is cruel to himself.
Frank: "Launch!" ”
Renault, who was on the ground, suddenly heard the roar of the sky, and he couldn't help but look up, a flash of fire rose into the sky, leaving a trail of dark smoke in the middle.
"What did you throw out? Frank! Renault asked.
"A nuclear bomb!" Kelly replied to him, putting on her goggles and staring into the air for a moment, then fixing them to her forehead again, and saying, "It should be a conventional nuclear bomb." ”
The nuclear bomb finally broke through the high-altitude atmosphere and then detonated at the base of the federal defenders 2,000 kilometers away from the "Arcadia" Peninsula, and the explosion of the nuclear bomb instantly took away all the 200,000 or so troops in the base who had not yet evacuated. No one survived on the surface of the defenders' base, and firing a nuclear bomb to take out half of the Union forces in a matter of minutes was a terrifying victory.
Frank on the bridge stares at the already ruined garrison base, firing this nuclear bomb makes him very entangled, but it is also a last resort, all for the sake of victory. He reluctantly counted that he launched an apocalyptic nuclear bomb in Kehaxing and took more than 280,000 lives, all of which were innocent lives; Now a nuclear bomb has claimed more than 200,000 lives, and he finds that his hands have unknowingly been stained with the blood of nearly 600,000 people.
It is ironic that he does not want to kill people but has been stained with the blood of so many people.
"There are so many things in the world that you don't just want to do. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and war is so cruel...... It seems that I need to change, and such a mentality risks burying my own people in it, which is something that a commander should not have...... Benevolent. Frank sighed, and after a moment, he began to communicate with Renault: "Jim, you, and inform Kelly Gen, to the bridge, we need to talk about the next specific battle jihua." ”
Reynolds: "Understood! ”
A few minutes later, Renault and Kelly Root came to the bridge together, and Frank stopped being verbose and cut straight to the point, "That nuclear bomb has eliminated half of the enemy for us, but the remaining enemy is still a fairly large number, and the unpleasant news is that their troops have all moved to the ...... of the 'New Vancouver' city."
"Wouldn't the battle cruisers be ineffective, then?" Renault looked at the three-dimensional simulation of the largest city in the southern continent displayed on the main console, and suddenly, he looked at Frank in surprise, "You don't want to drive this guy over the city to fight, do you?" ”
Frank smiled, naturally knowing what Renault's scruples were, and said, "I know what you mean, I'm sure I won't do that, but the battle cruiser will eventually have to fly over the city, and even if they don't shoot at the city, they have to be scared, otherwise it will be too cheap for them." ”
Renault's heart was much better when he heard this, just now he thought that Frank would directly drive the battle cruiser to the "New Vancouver" city to start a war, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Without the firepower output of the battle cruiser, the other side can abandon the military base so simply, their commander is obviously not an ordinary person, this battle is difficult to fight!" Renault concluded, he said.
"If the obstacle was just their chain of command, it wouldn't seem very difficult!" Kellygan waved the shotgun in her hand and smiled, she couldn't have said anything simpler.
"I found out that being an officer is not a good career either!!" Renault Khan, the ghost agent is really terrifying, especially the one next to him, I heard Frank say that she is the strongest assassin in the entire human race, these guys are very interested in the enemy's high-level people, isn't this the case next to him?
"Do you have any combat jihua?" Kelly didn't say much, but it was all on the crux of the matter.
