As far as the eye can see, burning steel connects and turns the clear sky after a rainstorm into a sunset.

It is an unnamed sea less than 500 nautical miles from the Baiyue Strait, and there is only a small island of less than a few square kilometers nearby, which is historically called Serik Island.

The fleet of the Southern Legion and the fleet of the South Sea Alliance engaged in an encounter near the small island.

Among them, the Southern Legion fleet dispatched a total of twenty-three ships, as well as five steel airships.

The South China Sea Alliance's fleet consists of only one cruiser, four destroyers, and three nuclear-powered submarines, plus a land-based anti-ship electromagnetic gun deployed in advance on Selik Island.

The South China Sea Alliance, which had just experienced a civil war, was greatly damaged, especially the battleships, which were the core combat power, were sunk to the bottom of the sea.

If you look at the data only on paper, the difference in strength between the two sides can be called a huge disparity.

It is precisely for this reason that after discovering the fleet of the South China Sea Alliance, the Southern Army did not take it seriously at all, and directly greeted it with its head held high.

The whole battle lasted several hours.

And the final result of the battle surprised everyone.

In the face of the mighty invincible fleet of the Southern Army, the South China Sea Alliance launched kites against it with the help of anti-ship missiles and artillery drones, and sank all 23 ships of the former to the bottom of the sea at a cost of almost no damage after a few pulls!

Not only that, but the five steel airships supporting in the air were also knocked out by land-based anti-ship electromagnetic guns, and the remaining three could only flee the battlefield in a hurry!

Let's be honest......

It was a little too easy to win this battle.

In the bridge of the Harpoon, the adjutant holding the telescope looked at the flames floating on the sea and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I didn't expect the Southern Army to be just like that......"

Half of these 23 ships were diesel-powered, and a missile fired directly out of black smoke.

The staff officer on the side also looked complicated, nodded and said.

“…… Of the twenty-three ships, two-thirds of them are offshore support vessels, and except for five steel airships, which are barely a threat, the others are not even a threat. ”

Compared with the surprise of the soldiers, Commander Li Minghui was quite calm about this victory.

The Legion's reliance on airships is too strong, and this is especially true of the Southern Legion.

In the face of the indigenous survivors, the steel airship does have an overwhelming advantage, both in terms of projection fire density and strike efficiency, far exceeding ground artillery and conventional flying units, and with special warheads, it can also play a miraculous effect of "one cannon against ten cannons".

However, this alternative tool of warfare is a different matter when faced with an evenly matched opponent.

In several encounters with the Legion, the Alliance has gained a wealth of experience in how to restrain the steel airship, and has since absorbed the technology of all sides.

Overload with anti-ship electromagnetic guns at a distance, and use phase guns to break the shield + paralyze the engine when it is close, the alliance and its allies have formed a mature combat system against airships, and now the alliance has taught this method to the South China Sea Alliance.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that while the naval power of the Southern Corps feels like an appendage of the Army, it's not all there is to the Corps.

For example, the naval strength of the Western Legion in the New World should not be underestimated.

Judging from those reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance means alone, their strength is probably not weaker than that of the South China Sea Alliance.

But perhaps because of this, these guys didn't really make a move until the end.

It may sound a little difficult to understand, but Li Minghui can understand the logic behind it.

The ships of the South China Sea Alliance assumed that the enemy was the airship of the legion, so they developed a fleet system with battleships as the core.

And the fleet system of the Western Legion is also based on battleships......

To say that this is a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.

The so-called businessmen had no intention of getting on the wrecked ship of the Southern Legion in the first place.

Business is just business.

"After this battle, the Southern Army has nothing to fear, and it is time for our imaginary enemy strategy to be adjusted."

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Minghui spoke.

The adjutant standing by knew what he was talking about.

"You mean...... Western Legion? ”

"Well," Li Minghui nodded and said with a serious expression, "This time we won, but I have a hunch that this will be the beginning of the Legion's awakening...... The Southern Legion is a victim of what they pushed, and there are more troublesome guys after this. ”

The staff officer pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered what had been discussed at the last seminar with Union officers.

"In the face of a battleship-centered combat system...... The development of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft is perhaps a good idea. ”

The adjutant on the side smiled bitterly.

"History is really a circle."

If he's not mistaken, things like aircraft carriers are things from the pre-Prosperity Era.

It was not until the birth of space-based weapons that all kinds of aviation equipment appeared on the stage of history, and the entire battlefield was moved from the ground to the sky, and those obsolete weapons were eliminated one after another.

If the Wasteland Era doesn't end immediately, the path they've already traveled will be repeated once their gravity wells are built.

Of course, it's only possible.

Li Minghui nodded and expressed an ambiguous attitude.

"I don't think the road ahead will be simply repeated, let's take one step at a time."

……

In Settlement 10, in the plainly decorated city hall, Chu Guang put on his azure power armor again.

Although he doesn't need it much now, the significance of this armor to the citizens of the Alliance has long exceeded its usefulness.

It's like a totem.

Facing the lens of the camera, Chu Guang reached out to straighten the microphone, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he spoke in a calm and firm tone.

"Today is a special day."

"In the past week alone, we've witnessed a series of horrific things happening."

"Without warning, the Southern Corps detonated a nuclear bomb with a yield of more than 10,000 tons in the area of actual control recognized by our Adhesive Community."

"And just when we were optimistic that it might have been a misunderstanding and that no Coalition citizen had been killed in that nuclear explosion, 20,000 armed Willant soldiers broke into our homeland......"

"The nuclear bomb detonated, 20,000 soldiers, including 23 ships bound for the Baiyue Strait...... It's hard not to tie these three things together. ”

"And this is undoubtedly an act of war!"

"A beast in human skin, after a mock temptation, finally tore off the last of its disguise, revealing its hideous fangs to us."

"I don't need to explain what they want to do, and until yesterday they were using lame lies and pretense of hypocrisy to whitewash their image of peace-loving, gentleness and humility."

"But we will not be fooled again, the war has already begun."

"I believe that our armed forces, relying on the determination of our people to unite, will surely achieve an inevitable victory!"

"We will put an end to this century-and-a-half-century mistake once and for all, and we will completely liberate all the survivors of the oppression of the Southern Legion, including the Willantes who were oppressed by the Southern Legion."

"On behalf of the Alliance, I declare that the Alliance and the Southern Legion are at war due to the despicable act of the Southern Legion of war without declaring war!"

"This is an official declaration of war!"

At the same time that Chu Guang's voice fell, the live picture of the speech had also been transmitted throughout the entire territory of the alliance through the cables and signal towers laid by the alliance.

The Alliance has officially declared war on the Southern Legion!

The war taking place in Borneo is no longer a contest between volunteers and mercenaries.

At the same time, the war between the two sides is no longer confined to the battlefields of Borneo!

In the tavern of Boulder City, the three-minute speech was played on the TV at the bar.

And at the same time that sonorous voice fell, the whole tavern erupted in fierce cheers and cheers.

This moment they have been waiting for too long.

Again and again, those big noses are clever, trying to cross the league's bottom line.

Since all the trouble is made by these guys, why not just send this root of all evil to the grave?

A drunken drunkard stood up and yelled in a gruff voice.

"The manager is calling me, Lao Tzu will go to the army tomorrow! It's time to put an end to this pantomime! ”

The brewery worker on the side also stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Count me in! Since the Southern Army is going to fight! Then let's have a good time with them! ”

This sentence has reached the hearts of all people and has been supported by countless people.

Not only the workers of the brewery, but also the militia of the militia regiments.

People whistled and cheered and applauded the brave lads.

They can't always hide behind the Vault dwellers.

Now that Boulder City has come out of the haze of crisis, it is their turn to shine.

They will not abandon their obligations, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with all the people of the Alliance.

From the trenches of the front line to the factories in the rear!

They will continue to fight until they destroy all the jackals on this planet who dare to bark their teeth at their brothers and sisters!

A guy who had drunk too much climbed onto the table and shouted at the heckling crowd.

"I announce! The 1st Division of the Boulder City Expeditionary Force was officially established! Wait for our good news, and we'll follow Mr. Manager all the way to the lair of these marauders! ”

One voice after another supported the nobody, and at the same time, it was also the voice of thousands of workers' union members.

"Relying on the money of the workers' union alone will never save the workers of Borneo, we have to pick up the guns...... Damn, we should have done this a long time ago! ”

"Not only the brothers of Borneo, but also in the great desert! And the city of Avant! ”

It was not only Boulder City, the base of the Alliance's radicals, who responded to the call for war.

From Dawn City to Dawn City to Fallen Leaf City, people who have been living and working in peace for a long time have picked up their guns again.

The same is true of Wifu City, as well as Port Fries and Settlement No. 1.

Both radicals and conservatives have reached a consensus on one thing at the moment -

The methods of civilized people can only be applied to civilized people, and fire and guns must be used in the face of shameless beasts!

As long as they live on this planet, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to what is happening on this planet.

If you want to have real peace, you must solve the problem of the Southern Legion once and for all!

At the same time, the Commander's Mansion of the Heavenly Capital.

Absek, who was sitting at his desk, was staring intently at the television, watching the speeches of the Alliance's managers broadcast on the Golden Gallen Harbor TV station.

When he saw Chu Guang say the last sentence, Absec was as excited as a child, and he stood up with a bang and walked around the desk three times.

His hands were turned into fists, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"The crashed sky is above...... Silver Moon Goddess help me! ”

The Alliance declares war on the Southern Legion!

The Alliance is finally officially at war!

After sacrificing millions of soldiers and civilians, they finally waited for change and successfully delayed the arrival of a turning point!

As the supreme leader of Borneo, no one knows better than him what this means!

That energetic appearance frightened the cat curled up under the desk and snoozing.

Absec looked at the National Defense Commissar standing at the door and ordered in a high-spirited manner.

"Give me an order to the whole army and prepare for a counterattack!"

"Yes!"

The National Defense Commissar gave a military salute with a solemn expression, turned around and strode out of the door.

Looking at the high-spirited commander, Internal Affairs Councilor Wadia's brows rose with a hint of worry.

Recently, the actions of the local army in Snake Prefecture have not been small.

There is also the gray wolf army that is constantly fighting with the Southern Army in the southern part of Wolf State, and now it is also like a loach, constantly expanding in the increasingly muddy pond water.

The chess piece that the Grand Commander had planted to the south in order to contain Shah Rukh had now become a big problem.

Compared to the Southern Army, whose offensive had stalled, he always felt that the trouble was more fatal to Borneo.

"But Shah Rukh ......"

Absec laughed and said in high spirits.

"Shah Rukh is a slippery head, when the situation was unclear before, I really had to be afraid of him three points, after all, if he couldn't keep it, he would join the legion, and give us a knife in turn. But now it's different, the war in Borneo has turned into a war in the world, this guy is just cunning and not blind, he knows what to do. ”

And that's not all.

Under this protracted confrontation, the military strength of Borneo has long been different.

Now his fierce generals are like clouds, and strong soldiers are like rain, not only wise generals like "Jungle Mouse" Ischer, but also fierce generals like "Butcher" Pickley.

Shahrukh?

Even the playing cards of the Southern Army can't be played, and he deserves to compete with him for this day?

It's not interesting to listen to your own blowing, and you have to see what others say.

Looking at Absec, who was full of confidence, Vadia smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Yes......"

On the other side, General Gullyon, who was far away in Saifan Harbor, also learned the news of the Alliance's declaration of war on the Southern Army from his own intelligence officers, and restored the entire picture of the declaration of war speech from the intercepted radio signals.

At first, when he heard that the flames of war had finally reached the Alliance, his face was filled with excitement.

However, when he found out that the Alliance knew everything about the series of plans implemented by the Southern Legion, and even listed the code names of the operations word for word, the smile on his face finally couldn't hold back.

Looking at the officer standing in front of his desk, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm.

What about our response! Did the city of Avent respond to the Alliance's declaration of war? ”

The officer was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed face.

"I ...... I do not know. ”

Looking at this guy's ignorant appearance, General Gurion roared and roared.

"Then what are you doing standing here! Why don't you hurry up and ask! ”

The officer nodded hurriedly, and ran out of the office door.

Gurion paced back and forth at his desk, a sense of unease growing in his heart.

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be ......

Under normal circumstances, if the general staff's trick was successful, his side would have gotten the news before the Alliance.

Whether it is the General Staff or the Command, he will definitely inform him of the next plan in advance, and prepare for the next invasion of the Alliance mainland.

Just like the military operations after the Xifan Harbor tragedy.

After Aulet sent troops to control the situation, they almost immediately followed and dispatched the large force to complete all the preparations before the invasion.

However, the result now is that the whole plan has gone down at the most critical time.

The great General Staff seemed to be dumb.

And he, the commander-in-chief of the theater, actually needs to know the latest progress of the entire plan from the enemy's TV news through his own intelligence officers.

It's as if it wasn't the alliance that was caught off guard, but they themselves lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.

I went back to my desk and sat down.

Gurion took several deep breaths to calm his pounding heart and muttered to himself.

"At least the Borneo war zone...... The advantage is still in our hands. ”

Although he himself knew in his heart that the key to victory or defeat in the Borneo Provincial War Zone was not determined by the chess pieces on this chessboard from the beginning.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the office, and the officer he had called to contact the command headquarters ran back in a hurry.

The man went straight into the office and forgot to knock on the door.

But after seeing his pale face, Gurion had no time to care about these trivial matters, and hurriedly stood up and asked him.

"What do you say over there in Avant City?! What the hell is going on now! ”

The officer's face was full of panic, his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word.

"Corporate ...... The people on the side of the General Staff said that just now the enterprise also declared war on us. ”

Businesses have also declared war......

The East Coast tortoises.

Hearing this, Gurion was stunned for a full minute, and then sat back in his chair without saying a word, not hearing the slightest movement for a long time.

The situation was completely out of control, and it was racing in a direction he never envisioned.

At the moment, the decisions of Avent City are no longer important, and only Triumph City can decide where the fate of the Willant people will go......
