Chapter 278 A War with a Predetermined Outcome

Jianghe City.

Farmhouse courtyard, control center on the first floor of the underground.

[Tianqing Strategic Strike System, deployed. ]

[The launch countdown is on. ]

[180179]

The prompt sound of artificial intelligence echoes in the hall of the control center.

It seems a bit solemn.

Su Wu looked at the countdown on the screen.

With a calm expression, he was a little cautious.

In fact, the countdown didn't take that long.

In the weapon system of the Eden satellite, the final excitation procedure can be completed in as fast as 30 seconds.

180 seconds is the maximum time allowed to remain after the weapon enters the final stage.

More than this time.

Either launch it immediately or you can only terminate it by force.

And choose such a long countdown.

It is because of Su Wu's purpose.

It wasn't really about putting it into force.

With the current world's technology.

The protection of the capital of a continent may not be able to completely withstand the space-based strike.

But to be said, the entire capital was completely erased.

But it is unlikely.

It is likely that it will only be severely damaged, but it still retains a strong military force.

It really reached that point.

What Su Wu has to face.

I'm afraid it's the rage and counterattack from the entire East Continent and even the higher-level federal government.

Stumbled into a high-intensity war with them.

This is not in line with Su Wu's core interests.

Even if he wins in the end, he won't get much benefit. The consequences of losing are even more unpredictable.

Therefore, leave enough reaction time for the other party.

Achieving deterrence at the right time rather than causing a real war.

This is what Su Wu wants to do this time.

When the countdown points to 127 seconds.

Su Wu received a special communication application.

That was the Dongzhou government, trying to start a call to him through the federal satellite network.

No time wasted.

Su Wu simply connected the communication.

"I am Yi Nengjing, the eldest son of Dongzhouzhou."

"You suddenly fought undeclaredly. Are you planning to overthrow the Federation?"

The voice opposite was cold and hard, and his tone revealed strong dissatisfaction and anger.

"terribly sorry."

"Originally, our goal was to deal with the gangs in the Gangcheng."

"But before you start."

“We have received news that the Dongzhou government intends to list us as an insurgent for this.”

"So you can only start first."

Su Wu said it was quite polite.

But the strength in the words has not been reduced at all.

Word by word, it reveals a will to not compromise.

Yi Nengjing was silent for a moment.

The tone was eased.

"Have you got your information wrong?"

“I haven’t received a proposal for a large-scale military operation recently.”

"Nothing wrong."

"At the Dongzhou Second-level City Management Conference yesterday, Dongzhou Councillor Ge Zheng proposed that the civil forces in Jianghe City affected the security of Gangcheng and suggested that the Dongzhou government eliminate it."

"If nothing unexpected happens to this proposal."

"It should have been sent to your office in the form of a written report."

Su Wu directly pointed out the specific source of the news.

No matter how rapidly Jianghe City developed after the end of the world.

Even though the population has exceeded 10 million, it is running towards a total of 500 million.

But in the official federal records, it is still a remote small city.

Targeting civil forces in such small cities.

In theory.

As a member of parliament, Ge Zheng himself has the right to define him as a rebellious armed force without having to obtain Yi Nengjing's approval.

And according to the consistent style of the federal and Dongzhou governments.

If this matter has become a fact.

No matter how serious the impact will be caused later, there will be no possibility of recovery.

"Ge Zheng!"

Yi Nengjing couldn't help but swear.

As the head of a continent, he certainly knows what kind of virtues the officials under his system are.

You don’t need to think about it and know that the MP must have received some benefit.

He came forward specifically to eliminate dissidents for him.

only.

Whether it was him or Yi Nengjing.

Not expected before.

Jianghe City, a civilian force they had never valued.

He actually has the force that can directly threaten the security of the Dongzhou capital.

This completely changes the nature of things.

Trying to calm down, Yi Nengjing continued to speak.

"Obviously, this is a misunderstanding."

"The current focus of our Dongzhou development is all in the Western Wilderness Plateau."

"I didn't intend to interfere in the local disputes in Gangcheng."

"I will deal with the Member Ge Zheng you mentioned afterwards and give you an explanation."

"Please believe that his attitude does not represent the attitude of our Dongzhou government."

This time.

Yi Nengjing was in no mood to continue raising her.

Through the call, he could clearly hear Su Wu's side, and there was a prompt sound that was constantly counting down.

The sound was like a heavy hammer.

It made him feel more and more irritable.

For this reason, even if doing so will undermine the majesty of the Dongzhou government.

It made him, the leader of Dongzhou, feel a little frustrated.

He also wanted to end this disaster from heaven with a quick knife.

"I believe in Yizhou Chang's commitment."

“As civilians, we just want to get through this disaster together.”

"There is no intention to provoke the Dongzhou government and the Federation."

"It is naturally best to be able to resolve the misunderstanding now."

Su Wu did not make things difficult for Yi Nengjing.

He continued to say as he said.

"Also, if I have time."

“You can pay a little attention to our internet and television news.”

“There are a lot of interesting things on it.”

“For example, biological organ printing technology that can treat cancer and extend a certain lifespan.”

"I believe it will be of some help to the residents of the Dongzhou capital."

In fact, it goes without saying that Yi Nengjing is a cross-age technology such as bioprinters that has broken through the limits of medical technology before the end of the world.

I've heard of it for a long time.

But Su Wu took it out alone here to clarify.

But it is equivalent to a disguised warning.

The potential meaning is to prove to Yi Nengjing that he has powerful scientific research power that is no less than before the end of the world.

It is not by chance to have space-based weapons.

Instead, it is truly capable of taking over the entire process from research, manufacturing, and then to launch.

Simple powerful force can only shock for a moment.

For example, after this time.

There is no need to wait for the future, it is now.

Su Wu discovered several armed satellites belonging to the Federation through the reconnaissance equipment on the Eden satellite.

The orbit began to change, and the Eden satellite was faintly included in the scope of conventional surveillance.

It is foreseeable.

If Su Wu does anything out of line next time.

What is received will no longer be the result of such official concessions.

It's a thunder strike from the Federation.

However, if under the protection of strong force, Su Wu can prove that he also has a top scientific research team and a huge population.

Then it is the federal turn to worry about.

They must consider it carefully.

If Su Wu was not able to behead and exterminate him at one time.

Can they withstand Su Wu's counterattack?

This subtle mentality.

Just like Su Wu now faces the capital of Dongzhou, he chooses to deterrent rather than to truly start a war.

After the two sides have agreed.

The Eden satellite entered the countdown to launch in the last 20 seconds and was interrupted on the spot.

The beam of light that penetrated the clouds gradually dimmed until there was no trace left.

And on a 30,000-kilometer-high track.

In the dark space background.

Titanium-tungsten alloy warhead located in the center of the Eden satellite.

The surface is still slightly radiant.

The energy hidden on it.

It will gradually disappear naturally in the next 40 hours until everything returns to its original state.

In this process.

It will not be reactivated again.

Of course, this has no effect on Su Wu.

Because even if it is finally triggered, it is not released.

The Eden satellite itself is energy reserves.

After activating the traction beam this time, most of the consumption was consumed.

At least within the next 20 days, re-pass the solar panels and restore 100% energy reserves.

Su Wu was unable to use the Tianqing strategic strike system again.

“The price is a bit heavy.”

"But it was exchanged for permission to occupy the steel city."

"It's pretty good."

Stand up and come to the side of the metal platform.

Su Wu looked at the map of the steel city projected on the platform.

Negotiations with the Dongzhou government.

It only takes a few minutes to calculate it.

The situation there has not changed much compared to before.

The robot army is ready to go all over the mountains.

Everything is just waiting for Su Wu to issue the final offensive order.

Gangcheng.

Nancheng District Joint Command Center.

Liu Qing looked around.

In the command hall transformed through the underground square.

Hundreds of people gathered at this time.

These people come from various forces in Gangcheng.

Among them is the top-notch steel city, which controls a large force armed by a group of army forces.

There are also elite forces with only a few thousand people who control unique technology.

And they are without exception,

Now it is all under Liu Qing's command.

"Commander Liu, Jianghe City has now gathered troops to advance to the Jingde Mall."

"It could hit our first line of defense at any time."

"Do you have confidence to keep it?"

In front of the podium, a majestic figure appeared on the monitor.

Asked Liu Qing.

"President Qin, the coalition forces are now terrible."

“It’s not just you have cutting-edge military weapons.”

"Other forces also have some unique advantages, and some even have power armor and annihilation-level main battle tanks."

"This kind of configuration is enough to fight the capital of Dongzhou."

"I really can't find a reason to lose."

Liu Qing looked at the person he had looked up to on the screen with a little emotion.

He thought at first.

That person will eventually become a big shot that unifies the entire Steel City.

But until now, when he became the commander-in-chief of the joint forces responsible for resisting the invasion.

After mobilizing various armed forces to support them.

He only realized that it was in the steel city.

There are actually so many powerful forces that are not inferior to the other party.

The so-called idea of ​​President Qin to dominate the Gang City sooner or later is naive and ridiculous.

"Then please."

President Qin nodded at Liu Qing with some reservations.

And this action.

In the eyes of Liu Qing, who had broken the filter for him.

It seemed to bring a hint of humility.

This made Liu Qing feel like a so-called big shot.

End the call.

Liu Qing stood up and looked at the two sides on the front line that were about to exchange fire.

For a moment, I was full of energy and full of passion.

"Send the order and prepare for battle."

"Tonight, I will prepare a celebration banquet for everyone."

The surface covered by ice and snow.

boom!

Accompanied by dozens of blazing fire, it swayed and rose from behind the spider robots all over the mountains.

Falling into the defense line of Steel City from afar.

This offensive and defensive battle in the Gangcheng, which attracted countless thousands of people to pay attention, kicked off.

But except for a few of the top people in Dongzhou.

No one knows.

This war has just begun, and there has not even been one person killed.

The result is actually already destined.

The two sides fighting are not evenly matched.

It is a confrontation between the lion and the rabbit.

[Reconnaissance drone formation takes off. ]

[Build a Investigation Network. ]

[Note the enemy target. ]

[The combat drone clusters were launched to bomb enemy armored units. ]

[The Spider Robot Legion dispersed its formation and advanced at full speed. ]

[Reinstalling the main battle spider robot main gun begins to accumulate energy. ]

[Lock the following strong firepower points—]

As the battle unfolds.

Huge amount of data flows between hundreds of reconnaissance drones hovering over the battlefield.

Finally, it gathered to the control center far away in Jianghe City.

Analysis and decision-making are made by artificial intelligence.

In the 10th second of the war.

When the defensive steel city coalition has not yet truly entered the combat state.

Su Wu's artificial intelligence has completed the lockdown on tens of thousands of coalition soldiers, sentry towers, logistics transfer stations, and armored units on the front line.

And command the robot legion to launch a precise attack.

Rockets, electromagnetic guns, and the most equipped electromagnetic rifle.

In the shortest time, a overwhelming firepower net was weaved.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of bullets and bombs were poured into the opposite position.

In this moment.

Thousands of coalition soldiers who had not hidden in the bunker fell down one by one.

All heavy firepower points with machine guns and artillery were erected, and violent explosions were almost at the same time.

The bunker poured from concrete has dug up the trenches of ice and soil.

It has no protective effect at all.

Under the bombardment of the metal hydrogen bomb, it was split in an instant.

The 20th second of the war begins.

Except for some elite soldiers hiding in armored vehicles or wearing power armor and exoskeleton armor.

The first line of defense carefully constructed by the Steel City Alliance.

So far, there are almost no living people.

And these survivors.

It also failed to cause too much trouble.

With the main spider robot legion, the robot dog auxiliary legion, and tens of thousands of combat drones hovering in the sky, breaking into the defense line.

They were quickly submerged in the heavy rain fire.

The 7th minute of the war begins.

Artificial intelligence reports to Su Wu.

Frontline troops have completely occupied the entire first line of defense.

The real battle lasted less than half a minute.

Most of the rest is spent on the road.

Even though Su Wu deliberately chose to start a war in a relatively good weather.

But on the surface at an average of minus 60 degrees.

Whether it is for the Gangcheng Alliance or Su Wu's Spider Robot Legion.

The environment is still a huge obstacle that cannot be ignored.
