Chapter 836 The situation is tense!

  Chapter 836: The situation is tense!

  It is not just the Burning Corps and the two “Overlord” transport planes that

  are heading to Kinggallon Port. On the turbulent Borneo Sea, a long line of transport ships of the same model are seen heading straight towards Kinggallon Port. Next to this transport fleet, there is also a fleet of the South China Sea Alliance!

  The wide decks are hung with uniform digital camouflage nets, and under the camouflage nets are parked a number of murderous armored vehicles!

  Among them are not only old equipment such as the ZJC-1 “Chimera” armored vehicle that has made great contributions to the alliance, but also some new equipment that has just appeared.

  For example, the “No. 3” tank jointly developed by Factory 81 and Jushi Military Industry!

  If the No. 2 tank still has traces of “truck carrying a cannon”, then the No. 3 tank can be regarded as a true main battle tank.

  Whether it is the low-lying body, the tilted armored turret, or the positive pressure full protection system, they all have many similarities with the main battle tanks in reality, but they are not exactly the same.

  As for the main gun, it is still 155 mm, and there has been no major improvement compared to the Type 2 tank.

  Although a larger caliber means a lower ammunition load, it does not matter to the players who drive it. Being big and powerful is the king!

  As for the Type B “destroyer” of the Type 3 tank, in addition to adding a turret design, adding a “pigeon” vehicle-mounted missile launcher, and using more standardized parts, the main gun is still a No. 60 electromagnetic gun with a muzzle kinetic energy of 60 megajoules.

  In addition to the improved versions of these old equipment, these cargo ships also carry some brand-new models.

  For example, the FK-1 “Defender” air defense vehicle.

  Previously, the alliance’s air defense equipment was mostly air defense cards carrying quadruple anti-aircraft guns and simple vehicle-mounted radars, and players wearing exoskeletons and carrying portable anti-aircraft missiles.

  The “Defender” designed by Kitajima Heavy Industries combines the tactical ideas of the two and is installed on the simplified version of the “Chimera” armored vehicle.

  However, although the shell of this thing is a simplified version, its firepower should not be underestimated.

  The 20mm “Red Dot” rapid-fire gun installed on its roof adopts a design concept similar to the close-in defense gun of the South China Sea Alliance destroyer. It is driven by an electromagnetic accelerator and is equipped with a vehicle-mounted radar and air defense missiles designed by Kitajima Heavy Industries.

  The weight saved on the armor is all made up on the ammunition rack of the tandem mass bomb.

  This thing is like a destroyer sailing on land!

  Although there is only one conical gun barrel, it can burst out a firepower network comparable to the salvo firepower of four quadruple-mounted 20mm machine guns in an instant!

  Whether it is against high-altitude fixed-wing aircraft or ultra-low-altitude quadcopter drone clusters, it is quite useful!

  In addition, the two anti-aircraft missiles installed under the fire control radar were also removed from the destroyer, and the benchmark was the supersonic jet aircraft of the Corps of “same price” –

  in addition to those large-scale equipment, the Corps also equipped some high-tech equipment with extremely high maintenance costs.

  Objectively speaking, the South China Sea Alliance has made up for the shortcomings of the Alliance in the field of high-precision and cutting-edge technology, especially microelectronics technology. Before this, although the Alliance had a lot of technical reserves, it still relied on enterprises to help produce high-tech equipment.

  In contrast, the Alliance did not blindly demand from the South China Sea Alliance.

  The Alliance’s huge technical reserves, especially the technology in the fields of materials science and biology, as well as the scale advantages in the fields of industry, logistics, economy, etc., have complemented the shortcomings of the South China Sea Alliance in many fields.

  In this win-win cooperation process, both sides have achieved common progress in many fields.

  The FK-1 “Defender” is a masterpiece under this trend! But it is just one of them.

  Beyond the military industry dominated by official forces, there are countless similar cooperations between the private sector and the South China Sea Alliance.

  This close cooperative relationship involves not only the employment of hundreds of thousands of people and the profits of many processing plants, but also touches the underlying logic of human society – division of labor and cooperation.

  This unbreakable relationship can only be replaced by another more advanced production relationship.

  This is not something that can be built by throwing a handful of money, nor can it be broken by a mere battleship.

  But Wu Tuo has no chance to know, and even if he knows, it is too late.

  Being a poor cook is not the original sin, but being a poor cook and having a big addiction is.

  The empire is not without wise people, but those who are wise are without exception not pretending to be confused, cooperating with half-baked liars to bully the ignorant fools, and losing all the chips snatched from the honest people.

  At first, the fishermen of the South China Sea Alliance only wanted money and not their lives. For the empire, that little bit of suffering could not even be complained, at most it was just a flesh itch.

  However, by coincidence, the legion that was both seeking money and killing people also set its sights on this guy.

  Even if the alliance does not intend to leave, it has to put its chips on the table…

  Standing on the edge of the deck, the Elf King Fugui was blowing the sea breeze in his face, squinting his eyes and looking towards the west. After a long while, he suddenly said something.

  ”…I heard that the brothers of the Burning Corps have arrived?”

  Irena said with a smile.

  ”Yeah, I saw it on the forum.”

  Elf King Fugui: “Gan! Why can’t we take a plane?”

  Irena looked at him with a subtle expression.

  ”…Who wants us to have heavy equipment? It’s funny.”

  Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the mole sitting in the cabin was staring at the map of Lowell State and thinking.

  There are two corps deployed in the Borneo Province this time, one is the Burning Corps, and the other is the Skeleton Corps.

  Putting aside the support company, maintenance company, logistics company and guard company, which are mainly composed of NPC soldiers, the players of the Skeleton Corps are basically in 5 battalion-level combat units.

  Two of the battalions are mechanized infantry battalions, divided into 6 companies, 18 platoons, and 54 squads. Including 2 battalion-level command vehicles and 6 company-level command vehicles, there are a total of 62 “Chimera” armored vehicles!

  The other three battalions are armored battalions, divided into 9 companies, 27 platoons, and 81 squads. Add three battalion-level command vehicles and 9 company-level command vehicles, a total of 93 “Type III” tanks!

  Although these equipment do not constitute a long snake formation, they are also a very majestic steel torrent in the wilderness.

  According to the order of the administrator, the state border of Lowell State is the last red line.

  If the soldiers of the Legion dare to step over it, they will cooperate with the Burning Legion to launch a full-scale offensive against the Legion.

  But the red line is the red line, this thing is just a reference. If the Legion really launches a full-scale invasion of the Borneo Province, they are unlikely to really wait for the other side to touch the red line.

  After all, they are not players, nor NPCs, and the administrator still gave him some authority to act in an emergency.

  The premise is that they have fully discussed with the Burning Legion.

  With Brother Fang here, Mole is not too worried about misjudging the situation or similar situations.

  In contrast, he is more worried about the traffic conditions in the Borneo Province.

  There are only a few roads from Jinjialun Port to the capitals of Huzhou and Baozhou.

  And among these roads, there are very few that can allow armored troops to pass quickly.

  ”…Thanks to the warlords of Baozhou and Huzhou who spent money to build some roads. If there were no such roads, our tanks might not even be able to drive out of Jinjialun Port.”

  After studying for a long time, Mole cursed and threw the pen on the map.

  The staff officer standing next to him also frowned, touched his chin and thought in a low voice.

  ”The road conditions in Borneo Province are really bad… and in a few months it will be the rainy season, and the traffic conditions on both sides of the Yongliu River will probably be even more severe.”

  Speaking of the identity of this staff officer, he is still a Weylander named Vides.

  Like Vanus, he was born in the expeditionary army, and even joined the army within a few months. However, his fate was not as good as Vanus’s. He first followed Captain Dillon as a “bandit”, and was later captured by Shelter No. 404.

  However, he made a series of choices similar to Vanus.

  After the Battle of Sunset, he did not go home with other prisoners of war, but chose to stay in the Alliance.

  Considering the possibility of a direct confrontation with the Legion this time, the Alliance Army Staff sent him to the Skeleton Corps as a front-line staff officer, responsible for providing advice and making plans.

  The Mole did not doubt his loyalty, but just communicated with him as an ordinary NPC.

  ”…That’s true, but it’s not a bad thing for us who are mainly engaged in defensive counterattacks. If they really push the front line to our doorstep in the end, then they will be the ones who will be stuck in the mud in the logistics line, and then it will be the job of the air force.”

  Although the Goblin Corps was not deployed to the front line as a whole for this mission, only a few “ace pilots” drove the Alliance’s next-generation fighters to the military base in Golden Gallon Port to compete with the Corps’ advanced fighters for air supremacy, but this does not mean that they have no air force available.

  The authorities of Golden Gallon Port purchased a large number of W-3 propeller aircraft and formed a full five aviation teams, which specialize in tactical bombing, strategic bombing and close ground support.

  These propeller aircraft produced by Goblin technology have extremely low requirements for take-off environment and logistics, and are very easy to operate. Although they are not a match for supersonic fighters in air defense, they have excellent cost performance and are even better at ground support!

  When he said this, the mole suddenly noticed his nose and smiled.

  ”I almost forgot to mention that we might fight with your fellow villagers this time. If you feel unhappy, you can tell me as soon as possible. I can arrange you to work in the logistics department.”

  ”There is no such thing as happy or unhappy.” Widdes smiled lightly and said indifferently, “The mistakes of the Weilants must be corrected by the Weilants, just like the mistakes of the shelter must be corrected by the residents of the shelter. I know what I am doing… But you, aren’t you afraid of seeing my nose?”

  The mole laughed.

  ”Then you underestimate me too much.”

  As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the command table suddenly rang.

  Stopping the irrelevant topic, the mole reached out and grabbed the phone, his tone serious.

  ”This is the temporary headquarters of the Skeleton Corps.”

  An echo came from the other end of the phone soon.

  ”…This is the escort fleet. The Golden Gallon Port is 500 kilometers ahead of you. According to sonar and radar detection, there are no hostile ships in the nearby waters. We will continue to sail according to the original route, and the rest of the journey is up to you.”

  The mole nodded.

  ”Got it, good luck to you.”

  ”To you, too.”

  After a brief exchange, the escort fleet led by the cruiser “Harpoon” separated from the transport fleet of the Alliance.

  The latter will continue to move towards the Golden Galleon Port on the east coast of the Borneo Province, while the former will cross a large area of ​​sea and head straight to the western region of the Borneo Sea to wait.

  Although the Alliance voted in favor of “freezing the Xilan Empire’s seat in the Sticky Community”, it did not really abandon the survivors struggling on this land.

  If these guys dare to set fire to Xifan Port today, they can repeat the same tragedy in Silver Moon Bay or even French Fries Port tomorrow, just like what happened in the Valley Province.

  Every citizen in the early days of the Alliance was a survivor of that disaster.

  If diplomacy can no longer solve the problem, then the next step is the work of surgeons.

  Although the Alliance’s performance was relatively restrained, and it only responded to the Southern Legion’s layers of escalation with a reciprocal strategy, the Alliance’s younger brothers are obviously ready to fight.

  For example, the Honey Badger Kingdom.

  Five divisions of troops have gathered at the border, staring at the neighboring Falcon Kingdom.

  They were too frustrated in the last battle, and the other side surrendered shortly after they liberated the entire territory.

  As for the Lion Kingdom with the largest population, three divisions of troops were also mobilized.

  Unlike the “flat-headed brothers” of the Sand Sea Spirit, the Lion Kingdom is unanimously “Buddhist”. They are too secular and just want to have fun, not fight.

  The reason is also very simple. The Legion was pushed back by the Alliance before it had time to reach their capital. Therefore, their hatred for the Willant people is far less profound than that of the Honey Badger Kingdom. The reason for their hatred is more because those big noses used nuclear bombs to blow up a deserted “miracle”.

  However, having learned the lessons of the last war, they obviously will not fantasize that once the gunpowder barrel is ignited, there will be people who can remain unscathed.

  This time they will not give the Willant people any chance.

  They will eliminate the “risk” before everyone else as soon as the nuclear bomb enters the eastern part of the Great Desert.

  As for the Hump Kingdom and the Golden Lizard Kingdom, most of them had the same attitude as the Lion Kingdom.

  Suddenly becoming a thorn in the eyes of the desert countries, the Falcon Kingdom, which was hiding in the corner licking its wounds, was trembling with fear.

  The princes and nobles of the Falcon Court cast their eyes for help to the Eastern Legion, hoping that those big noses would send a few more 10,000-man teams because they were so obedient.

  The industry representatives composed of the lower-class citizens secretly communicated with the Alliance one by one, and patted their chests to say that as long as the Legion dared to come, they would dare to offer the Legion’s base and logistics supply lines, just asking that innocent ordinary residents would not be harmed at that time.

  The batch of arms shipped to Xifan Port was investigated by them for the Alliance’s Guards Corps.

  They were most familiar with this kind of backstabbing work. After all, the nobles could not drive the trucks, move the boxes and load the goods by themselves, and dig trenches on the front line by themselves.

  It was impossible to fight.

  No one could fight the Alliance, and the nobles would fight themselves.

  Since Griffin went all in, the entire Falcon Kingdom has almost wiped out an entire generation.

  After the development of Bicester Town, it sucked away a large number of the kingdom’s labor force like a black hole, resulting in almost only women, the elderly and children in the entire kingdom, and the remaining young and middle-aged people can’t even raise a division of troops.

  Xifan Port, which is at the center of the storm, is affecting the sensitive nerves of all the survivors in the wasteland.

  At least the survivors living in the circle around the Great Desert have been affected to some extent.

  Just as the situation in the Borneo Province continued to heat up, three teams with special identities were quietly entering the necrotic “heart” of the empire.

  Among them are the “envoys” of the Legion and the “envoys” of the Alliance.

  However, these two identities must be quoted because they are mixed with some water.

  The only real ones are the group of mercenaries from the Free State.

  They are indeed genuine mercenaries, but it’s a pity that their business skills are a bit rusty. It is estimated that they were outsourced and hired outsourcers, and finally the job fell into the hands of a wastelander.

  This kind of thing is not the first or second time.

  Anyway, Zhandi Lao had no idea why they came to this ghost place to join in the fun. He just saw a few corpses that were obviously not locals hanging on the door at the north gate of Tiandu.

  He asked around at the door and found out that those people claimed to be mercenaries from the Free State. They wore exoskeletons and held guns that could keep firing. They looked just like the “Iron Man” in the east.

  According to the vendor selling paste at the city gate, the two sides fought a battle on the street near the north gate of Tiandu.

  The battle was so fierce that it was even more exciting than the fight between the Guards and the Heavenly King’s Army.

  For the sake of a silver coin, the vendor described it vividly, chattering and blushing.

  Looking at his hand gestures, it seemed as if those people had blown up the whole street.

  In short, nearly a hundred people in the Heavenly King’s Army died, while only two of the mercenaries died.

  Later, probably because they ran out of ammunition, the group of “iron men” began to retreat, but in the end, six were still captured.

  ”…They didn’t keep any prisoners?”

  Looking at the vendor who was getting more and more excited, the warlord couldn’t help asking.

  The vendor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a wave drum.

  ”No prisoners were left. The king’s people never keep any prisoners. They act quickly and cruelly, killing people like killing chickens.”

  In fact, think about it.

  These people have been killing red-eyed, and they don’t care whether the people they caught are from the free state or the slave state. Maybe they haven’t even heard of that ghost place.

  The warlord’s Adam’s apple moved, and he looked at the vendor selling paste a little more.

  ”…These people kill people like killing chickens. Aren’t you afraid of blood splashing on your body when you do business here?”

  The vendor laughed, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face darkened by coal smoke.

  ”Sir, you are telling a joke again. This place is like killing chickens everywhere. How can it be better if you go to Shizhou or Xiangzhou?”

  The warlord couldn’t help asking.

  ”Then why don’t you go to… Golden Galleon Port? It’s not like that there.”

  The vendor smiled and waved his hand.

  ”Well, you’re talking about ease. I guess you’ve never swam in the Yongliu River. Not to mention those who didn’t climb ashore, even those who climbed ashore, I don’t know how many were drowned in the reed marshes.”

  Looking at the silent guest, he sighed and said.

  ”If I had nothing to worry about, I might really go to the Yongliu River to try my luck, but I still have a family to feed. Who will take care of them if I leave? Those who go into the river, whether dead or alive, few come back.”

  ”Besides, I guess it may not be as good as the rumors say. What is available in Golden Galleon Port, what is not available in Xifan Port? Is it the factory or the dock? Those guys who kill people like killing chickens came from the docks and factories. If they can survive, why would they rebel? Are they bored?”

  He shook his head again.

  ”I think the port and the factory are not good things. I have only seen free people starving to death and tenants starving to death. I have never seen a slave starving to death.”

  At this time, Penny, who had been standing silently behind the warlord, suddenly couldn’t help but speak.

  ”…Then why do you support the king?”

  Hearing this treasonous words, the peddler was immediately shocked. He looked around and saw that there was no one with a plaster strip here, so he looked at the person who spoke.

  The person was wearing a thick headscarf, almost covering her entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes.

  She had a desert-colored robe on her shoulders, wrapping herself tightly, and it was impossible to tell where she was from, but she looked like a woman.

  I have never seen a woman with such a good figure.

  The peddler smiled awkwardly, a little shy, and scratched the back of his head with his black hands.

  ”Girl, what you said… He didn’t ask me if I agreed when he rebelled.”

  Penny was speechless for a while.

  The Warlord next to her pulled her aside with a smile and glared at her fiercely.

  ’Are you crazy? ! ‘

  Penny lowered her head knowing she was in the wrong and muttered “I’m sorry” in a low voice.

  It was her occupational disease that had come back again, and she couldn’t help but blurt out a sentence.

  When she came to her senses, she realized how dangerous she had done.

  Looking at Penny who admitted her mistake obediently, the Warlord couldn’t say anything to scold her for a while, so he could only stare at her with a warning, and then turned his head back. It was

  unfortunate that he had originally planned to act with Farsighted’s people.

  After all, those people’s names sounded like a team, and people with a team are definitely more reliable than those without a team.

  However, as luck would have it, he had just started talking to those people when he ran into Bennot’s daughter Penny at the port.

  When this guy heard that he was going to go on a diplomatic mission to Tiandu, he immediately said that he would go with him, and even pretended to be his servant.

  The war correspondent wanted to persuade her, but he couldn’t persuade her at all.

  He even thought of knocking him out and locking him up in a tent, but he was worried that he would be stubborn and act alone after waking up.

  Most people who can be war correspondents are not afraid of death.

  Others might just talk about it, but she might really do it.

  Instead of letting her take risks alone, it’s better to let her follow him, at least there is a guarantee.

  As for Captain Benoit…if you want to blame him, blame him for taking such a big gamble.

  The reporter of Triumph was determined to bring the truth home, and he couldn’t stop him.

  His eyes wandered over the two people, and the vendor looked at the Warlord and asked with a chuckle.

  ”Sir, would you like two bowls? I’ve been selling this porridge for eight years, and the taste is absolutely addictive!”

  The Warlord watched him put his hand that had just scratched the back of his head back into the porridge, and his stomach couldn’t help but twitch, and he squeezed out a word.

  ”No… I’ve already eaten at noon.”

  He believed that the taste was absolutely addictive.

  After all, the hair oil added to it could be used to stir-fry another dish…

  Throwing a few more silver coins on the stall, the Warlord didn’t dare to stay here any longer, and hurried away with Penny’s hand, deliberately circling the alley a few times, and hiding in the hotel where he was staying.

  As he expected, not long after he left, the vendor immediately reported their affairs to the patrol at the city gate.

  But what’s interesting is that the patrolling city guards didn’t listen to the vendor’s explanation at all. When they heard that he had received silver coins, their eyes suddenly became greedy.

  Several people took sticks and tortured the vendor. As expected, they found several silver coins on him.

  Now they caught the man red-handed. Although the mastermind was not caught, he was inevitably labeled a spy.

  Several city guards picked up the vendor and gave him a lesson. The man turned pale and didn’t dare to mention the previous matter again. Then he lifted him up high and put him down gently, put the coins in his pocket, and walked away with his sticks.

  Just kidding, they are the people who patrol this area. How could they not know that things have been going on recently?

  Just a few days ago, some mercenaries from the Free State appeared. It is said that more than a hundred brothers of the Heavenly King’s Army died just to catch those six unlucky guys.

  He only has one head, so of course he has to pick on the weak ones, but he dare not cause trouble for himself…

  …

  Outside the city, inn.

  Seeing Pangolin closing the door and looking out the window, Penny, who was sitting on the bed, took off her stuffy headscarf and asked him in a low voice, looking at his nervous look.

  ”Why don’t we just confess our identities? Just tell them… we are the envoys of the Legion.”

  The Warlord replied casually.

  ”Your father didn’t even dare to send the envoys of the Weilantes. Can’t you guess the reason?”

  If they were not instructed by someone, how dare these people slaughter the entire port without leaving a single prisoner.

  In other words, since they were instructed by someone, what difference would it make to kill one more envoy?

  Through the intelligence verification on the forum, he can now basically confirm that Abusek is the spokesperson for the interests of the Southern Legion, and Janusz is the scapegoat who was pushed to the front.

  After making all preparations, the Southern Legion will march to Tiandu and eliminate the Tianwang Army.

  At that time, Abusek’s old departments will just need to change their flags.

  No matter it was called the Boro Corps or something else, as long as they had nothing to do with the Janus Empire, or even returned the favor to the Janus Empire at a critical moment, the Southern Corps would naturally hand over the empire to them, just like “going public by reselling the shell”… At least that’s what Abusek and his men thought.

  However, this scapegoat named Janus was obviously not willing to die so carelessly. He might even have a premonition that there might be some ghosts hiding around him who wanted to get off the bus halfway, so he could only use a crazier method to tie them firmly to his chariot.

  As for the betrayal, we can wait until the civil war is over and then slowly settle the accounts.

  Abusek should not mind negotiating with the envoys of Triumph City, but Janus would never leave a way out for his subordinates.

  So, the battlefield guy made an appointment with the far-sighted brothers.

  They would contact Janus first, and they would negotiate with Abusek first.

  There is no future for cooperating with the Southern Legion. Letting the jackal in is not a roundabout way to save the country. This hungry wolf will swallow them up in one bite.

  And it will also take away everyone around them.

  If Abusek can be persuaded, it will be the best. If not, then we can only think of other ways.

  Anyway, after everything is over, he will provide Penny with relevant clues.

  As for whether the Triumph News will publish the whole process of the whole thing, he doesn’t know.

  After listening to Pangolin’s question, Penny was silent for a long time, thinking about something completely different from him.

  ”… So he sent you here?”

  The battlefield guy was stunned for a moment, and then said simply.

  ”That’s right, although I am a member of the Legion, I am not a Willant. If I am troubled by the people of the Heavenly King’s Army, I can still pretend to be a member of the Alliance to get by.”

  ”…” Penny bit her lip, her face full of complexity.

  Looking at her indescribable expression, the battlefield guy changed to a soothing tone and said.

  ”If you are sympathizing with me, then there is no need, this is my job–”

  ”I’m worried about you!” Penny stared at him, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

  She couldn’t explain why, but she just had a bad feeling in her heart.

  It is precisely because these people have used others as a price again and again, and let those outsiders bear the responsibilities and obligations that should have been borne by the Willant people themselves, that things have developed to this point.

  Her father has never reflected on it… That man was just regretting that he lost the bet, and he didn’t even think about making up for his mistakes.

  Then you shouldn’t follow me and make my mission more difficult…

  Looking at Penny with a sad face, the battlefield guy didn’t know what strange things this guy was thinking about, but just complained in his heart.

  Just when he was about to say something, there was a light knock on the door outside the room.

  ”…Excuse me, is this Mr. Pangolin’s room?”

  (End of this chapter)
