Chapter Seventy-One - Live Ammunition Weapons VS Energy Weapons
Scold.
Hearing this, Aum sneered: "In that case, then you should prepare for war!" β
With that, Orm returned to his army.
In the White House, Ellis leaned back in his chair, his face sinking into solemnity.
America has never been afraid of war, but in the face of such an unknown adversary, Ellis needs to consider the consequences of the war that follows.
"Mr. President!"
Defense Secretary Swanwick stood up and said, "Now, please declare a state of war in the country." β
Ellis stood up, picked up the phone, pressed the button, and said, "Announce the president's special order, and the whole federation is officially at war!" β
Then he looked at Swanwick and said, "Now, in accordance with the powers given to me by the Constitution, I take over the command of all armies in the name of the President of the Federation, the commander of the three armed forces!" β
"Give the Admiralty an order to bring the Second Atlantic Fleet into a state of war with the right to fire freely."
"The Third, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets will immediately rush to the battlefield at full speed and join the war at any time."
"It is important to be able to intercept the opponent's troops in the sea."
"Order the nearest military base to immediately mobilize and station in Gotham City, and the rest of the people who are a little farther away will rush to the front line by transportation as soon as possible!"
"Send me all the troops that can be mobilized!"
Swanwick frowned and said, "Commander, is it too early to mobilize the whole army?" β
Ellis immediately retorted: "Do you have to wait until the front line is defeated to start sending troops?" Execute my orders, Swan! β
He is not an ordinary novice, he served in the Navy before running for president, and he knows that in the face of this kind of enemy, he cannot distract his strength, and he must concentrate everything to give the other party a hard punch!
"I see, Commander." Swanwick nodded and began giving orders to the Ministry of Defense.
After Swan finished delivering the order, he asked again, "How is the research on the spacecraft in the laboratory, it's been almost half a year and there is no gain?" β
Swan shook his head and said, "We only have a certain amount of money on weapons systems and energy systems at the moment, but it is not enough to convert them into enough results. β
Ellis took a deep breath and said, "Then how did I hear that there is good progress on both sides of the Lex Group and Kod Industries?" β
Swanwick said helplessly: "Commander, I suggest that you should go and talk to that person about this, if not." β
Ellis crossed his hands and said, "What do you want me to talk to him?" β
Swanwick fell silent, and Ellis sighed and said, "Go and establish the Joint Command, there will be a lot of trouble ahead." β
......
At this moment, the troops of the whole United States, after receiving the order, immediately entered a state of war as soon as possible.
The Second Fleet in the Atlantic, in particular, immediately moved to the closest position to the Atlantean army.
The guns of all the warships were aimed at this side, the missile bays were warmed up, and the fighter pilots were already in the cockpit ready to take off.
It's just that they don't notice that in places that are not detected by sonar and radar in the depths of the water, there are guns that have locked on to them.
In the makeshift all-army command room at the military base closest to Washington, Ellis was sitting in the main seat watching the situation displayed on the screen in front of him.
A large number of personnel around were constantly busy, and various analysis reports began to be presented to commanders and staff officers.
Looking at the reports, Ellis's face became more and more ugly.
Although the other side has not yet made a move, according to the weapons experts of the Ministry of Defense, these should be energy weapons.
Therefore, the other side is an army equipped with energy weapons on all fronts.
"No wonder you dare to speak so arrogantly." Ellis tugged at his collar, trying to breathe a little easier.
"Commander, there are only about 37 minutes left before the other side attacks."
One chief of staff advised: "Our Second Fleet is fully deployed and ready to open fire." β
"The artillery and missiles are also aimed at the target, and given the gap between our weapons and the other side, I suggest that we can strike first!"
Ellis and Swanwick both nodded, war is not child's play, all favorable conditions must be mastered!
In the past, the North American army relied on equipment and technological superiority to crush others, but now they no longer have the advantage they used to have.
Then you have to create an advantage!
Don't say anything about the rules of war or immorality.
All eyes were on President Ellis, waiting for his instructions.
After all, this is an order that will go down in history.
Ellis stared, "All-out attack!" β
Everyone was shocked, and then the entire combat command began to get busier.
As soon as the order to attack was given, the Second Fleet, which had been preparing for an attack, was immediately launched.
All the guns that had been aimed at them opened fire at once, and all the missiles immediately ignited and ejected from the missile bay.
All the fighters on the aircraft carrier immediately ejected with a full load and flew in the direction of the Atlantean army.
Tanks, artillery and missile vehicles on land also opened fire, and suddenly a dense barrage of bullets was clearly visible in the sky, and even if it was not bullets, it formed a saturation strike.
"Humans do." Aum, who was sitting on the throne, sneered.
Immediately, more than ten meters high, dozens or hundreds of cannon barrels immediately stretched out from the top of the head that looked like a jellyfish, and then one after another energy cannons greeted the barrage fired at the land humans.
The energy barrage launched by hundreds of jellyfish directly intercepted and annihilated the missiles and artillery coming from all directions in mid-air.
Sparks from explosions burst out in the air, and energy weapons were more frequent than chemical-powered weapons.
The ground-to-air saturation firepower strikes that the US military is proud of are not worth mentioning in the face of these energy barrages.
After the dazzle faded, the intact army of Atlantis was presented to humanity.
All the military commanders who watched this scene were stunned, they didn't expect that this wave of attacks didn't even knock off the other party's fur.
The attack of the Second Fleet did not stop there, and the second and third waves of artillery shells and missiles were fired one after another.
But at this moment, the radar and sonar on each ship issued a warning prompt at the same time.
A large number of points of light appeared on the display, and before the alert could sound the alarm, a series of crimson beams of energy hit the bottom of the battleship.
Rumble!
The metal armor was as fragile as papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the plasma-accelerated energy cannon.
A large number of ships were pierced by the plasma acceleration beam, and then began to disintegrate with a single explosion, and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
Even a huge aircraft carrier can only be killed in the face of the energy beam.
