People's Federation will live forever

"..."

Li De stopped and said seriously: "Of course, my responsibilities make me pay attention to many aspects, but the core is for the benefit of the Brotherhood...but right now everything is not as important as you and the westward plan."

"I'm just joking, why are you nervous?"

The corner of Olivia's mouth curled up. She seemed to be smiling, but the indifference in her eyes made it hard to know what she was really thinking.To her right, the aircraft carrier's hangar lift was lifting a black-painted warplane onto the deck, and after being pulled onto the flight deck by a tractor, logistics saboteurs in exoskeletons began to make final checks.

"The westward expansion plan is military on the surface, but in fact it is politics." Olivia returned to the topic, "I don't care why you can predict the prophet, but as far as I am concerned, the security line of defense is still very strong, and it is difficult to win people's hearts. Well, whether it’s a direct conflict, I need a point of entry, without this point, everything I do will be compromised.”

Li De understood what she meant: "Weian's line of defense is still very solid, and the threat of orcs to them is not imminent. Therefore, we cannot do things to open up the situation, but the orcs must do it."

Olivia boarded the bridge of the aircraft carrier and entered the highly information-integrated control center.When Li De said this, she sat upright in the center of the command room, gracefully crossing her legs: "Yes, we are the saviors, not the initiators of human civil war. Only in the most critical moment, Our actions are more legitimate."

Li De didn't speak immediately. They all knew that this would cause more casualties to civilians, but the effect was as Olivia said.

"Savior? Haha, of course." The leader laughed, and Olivia also hecked twice, and there was no emotional fluctuation in their laughter.

"Force the orcs, put some pressure on them, let them also put some pressure on Wei'an." Li De said, but at the end, he added another sentence - "If possible, it's best to take care of both sides."

"You will really give me a problem, so we will have to spend more resources." Olivia put one hand on the seat, pinched a bunch of silver hair and twisted it around her fingers, seemingly complaining, but in her heart But he seemed to let go of something, and the smile returned to his face.

"But since you say so, then, as you wish."

Chapter 21. Fighter takes off

Microscopic and meticulous control is indispensable, but let us raise our vision from the details to a more macroscopic height, and look at this war of security in the west from an overall perspective-an organization always attaches great importance to a plan. It can be seen from the proportion of resources it invested in the project.But so far, the amount of resources Li De has allocated for Olivia's westward expansion plan only accounts for [-]% of military expenditures—yes, only military expenditures.

Whether it is the Black Hand or the Defense Force, they have obtained a lot of improved and new equipment, but not more.The brotherhood of the Tiberium deposits that sit on the entire southern seabed has gotten rid of the bottleneck of resources, but Li Deyi has devoted most of his resources to technology research and development and rearrangement of space control without hesitation. The research methods he uses Almost at any cost, even destructive.

In order to speed up the progress, those high-precision experimental equipment are piled up on the lower two floors of the "Obelisk of Salvation", and the experimental factory is producing prototype equipment all the time-these functions and names need to be kept secret and consumed by testing regardless of loss , and the recorded data is then used to improve product parameters on the printer, compressing calculations that would have taken years in the old days into a week or two.

Based on this, the technology of the Brotherhood has achieved considerable development, but the price is constant experimental accidents and mineral consumption.Compared with the high-spirited Ensig, although Olivia will not question Li De's motives, in her view, at this moment when the threat of war is imminent, resources should be invested in the production of armaments first, more armor And artillery can win this war.

The giant man-made building floating on the bay of the Blue Eye Islands - the "Red Sun" engineering device is the concrete embodiment of Li De's crazy smashing wonders, which amazed all ships and other marine vehicles.Although inertial magnetic confinement and plasma discharge technology determine whether controllable nuclear fusion can be obtained, it is also related to the future of the Brotherhood, but Olivia is also curious, is the population of 50 on the Jasintu Plateau not important? ?

Especially at the moment when Li De personally promised to abandon the human cloning project, the population became the biggest problem restricting the development of the Brotherhood. It is not Olivia's style not to eat such a big piece of cake as Jacinto.So the general came to the scene on a rare occasion to show Li De his determination.

"Isn't now the best time to eat Wei'an..."

On the Navigator aircraft carrier, Olivia was sitting in the captain's seat, playing with her hair while looking through the glass of the bridge at the fighter planes that were ready to set sail.The phone call with the leader verified some of her thoughts, and also made her face a more complicated situation.

Put pressure on the orcs to force the orcs to invest more power to put pressure on Wei'an, and finally open the situation?The idea is good, but is the strength at hand not enough, or is it too strong?

"General, the 'Obsidian' team is ready and waiting for your instructions."

Olivia's movements stopped, her eyes became clear, and she resumed her usual indifferent expression.

"Takeoff allowed, target, Sylvie City, execute the interception plan!"

Following Olivia's order, the aircraft carrier began to accelerate to create a stronger deck wind.The leading helicopter flew with the ship, and the fighter planes on the deck were pulled into orbit——

"Annihilator", a cheap supersonic multifunctional fighter used to replace Venom (data not written, refer to F16E/F for positioning!).Different from its predecessors, the Annihilator gave up the convenient but cumbersome vertical take-off and landing, and carefully designed it into a compact single-seat twin-engine fighter.With a length of 16 meters and a wingspan of 4 meters, this light aircraft carrier can only carry a formation of [-] aircraft, and they are the guarantee for the black hand to dominate the air.

Those retrained Venom pilots boarded the single-seater cockpit.The deck is clear, the flight control signal is ready, and the magnetic rail catapult is in a stable state... The flight control officer boarded the deck with an annunciator, checked the wind direction and raised the colorful flag at hand.

Then swung sideways towards the front of the deck——

The tail spray baffle shook violently, and at the same time there was a muffled sound from below the deck, and the fighter plane rushed away like an arrow from the string - the smell of ionized ozone in the air could be faintly smelled in the strong wind.The tail of the fighter jet was boosted, and the vector engine adjusted its attitude. After rushing out of the flight deck, the Annihilator raised its head and climbed straight into the sky.

After watching the first plane take off successfully, the flight controller stood up and straightened his helmet back to its position.On the deck, three more fighters entered orbit one by one...

In the outskirts of Sylvie City, the flames of war are spreading to the outskirts of the city, and a team of civilians and military vehicles is fleeing in a hurry.The soldiers in the back of the palace had no echoes, and the last air cover had been destroyed by the crazy predators a few minutes ago, and the thick smoke from the explosion was not far behind them, heralding their next fate.

The original tight formation of this convoy was torn off a tail, and the formation of guards was dispersed by monsters from the sky.Ravagers - These flying octopus-like creatures that screech as they swoop down and ride two orcs to rain down bullets on the convoy's heads in a straight line of the road may not be able to penetrate armored vehicles civilians clinging to vehicles and even on foot were mercilessly shredded.The blood was splattered with the desperate cries of the refugees. The rocket hit the truck in the front row with its tail flame. In the huge explosion, the several-ton truck body was blown away and hit the second truck hard. superior.

A vehicle that couldn't dodge in the rear lost control and hit the vehicle in front, or rolled over at high speed and the civilians in the vehicle rolled out of a road of flesh and blood.A woman can't find a husband, a child can't find a parent, and the cry of a baby is drowned out by the roar of a predator in an instant.In the chaos where the route was blocked, people abandoned their vehicles and luggage and fled to both sides of the road.They pushed and pushed, women and children with weak physique were knocked down, and the crowd stepped on the fallen people who didn't know whether they were dead or alive and rushed to the periphery, and were swept down by the predatory beasts in the sky.

These orcs don't seem to be in a hurry to kill them all. The thousands of ants running for their lives on the ground seem to have aroused their cruel nature, just like eagles chasing rabbits, sometimes driving to the left and sometimes swooping to the right. The casualties are much higher than the gunfire.Such a "joyful" move quickly attracted more looting beast knights, and dozens of flying monsters crowded the entire sky densely. Finally, many tired and desperate people gave up their survival. Sitting by the side of the car and cursing this hopeless world, only hoping that death will arrive at one o'clock in the morning.

"The ground is no longer safe. Now, even the sky will not tolerate our existence?"

The meager resistance of brave soldiers shooting into the sky with their rifles at hand only shows the breakdown of their hearts.The dim yellow sun gradually sank, and the scarlet sunset glow matched the bloodstains on the road, falling into the darkness together with the burning city.

Then, in a trance, a faintly fluorescent bright spot appeared from the horizon, drawing a few faint trails across the sky towards here.

Is that... hallucination?

PS: Well, one day off every week?Three days of the main line and two days of the branch line are fine, anyway, they will never disappear suddenly again

Chapter 22 Four versus four hundred, are you kidding me?

No matter the cultural background or social environment, the salvation that people hope for always comes from the sky.And even when human beings give up their efforts and beg on their knees, not every sky will respond for them.

Black Hand's early warning aircraft had already taken off, hanging in the sky ten thousand meters above the sky, and the clouds made it impossible to observe with the naked eye.Be it civilians or orcs, when the massacre began no one knew that there was an eye watching all this.The bloody atrocities on the battlefield turned into cold data in this eye, and the invisible electromagnetic waves scanned the entire city back and forth, trying to distinguish the orcs from the flying monsters——

The black hand's intervention was delayed also because, as we all know, the number of targets tracked by radar is limited.The orc's monster skin has an electromagnetic interference effect, and the flying plundering beasts also gather together. The heat of dozens of monsters is fed back into a point on the infrared photoelectric radar. A very stressful thing.

"May the eye of truth show me the direction, see the evil for me, and drive away the confusion."

The operator chanted in a low voice, and he straightened the brainwave reader on his forehead to ensure that the brain intubation line was fully connected to the system.As he thought, the holographic screen constantly changed the chart, and the radar adjusted the band, trying to analyze the number of enemy groups more clearly.As the only living person on the early warning aircraft, he shouldered all the guidance of the air force's offensive and had a heavy responsibility.

Thanks to the human experiments on the cultists, this brainwave control system is also the latest achievement of the scientific research center. By letting Legion read the brainwaves of qualified people to control the operation of the system, theoretically, the speed of thinking can be as fast as the operation speed. quick.This research was done to fill the black hands due to the shortage of personnel, and it was unable to allocate too many people in the non-combat department. Its advantages have been explained in the previous article, and its disadvantage is that there are few qualified candidates.

Being able to make accurate judgments in massive amounts of information requires not only high intelligence, but also the psychology of ignoring emotional interference.The operator recited a prayer, and after feeling such pressure, he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the leader.

"It would be great if I could maintain absolute sanity like the leader."

He said, and the message from the strike team came from tens of miles away—the missile has been launched, and the responsibility for its guidance has been handed over to the early warning aircraft.So the operator took a deep breath, commanded the autopilot to raise the altitude and started millimeter wave scanning, and recited the next paragraph of the prayer himself.

"Technology, our arm, must also be driven by our faith. Faith, our support, is for the leader's will to be manifested, for the glory of the Brotherhood to be walked on the earth, and for peace to return to the world .”

Tens of kilometers in front of the early warning aircraft, the four fighters of the strike team dropped two medium-range air-to-air missiles on their wings almost at the same time. go.The team leader made a gesture, and the fighters handed over the control of the missiles to the early warning aircraft after launching, and each distanced themselves to speed up.

Eighty kilometers, for a missile flying at Mach 3, is just less than 3 minutes, but for the residents of Sylvie City who are trapped on the road, it seems like a century.The roar of the plundering beast is enough to drive people crazy, and the chaos caused by successive explosions and strafing sounds has caused the convoy to panic. Soldiers, civilians, and flesh and blood have no ability to resist under the hail of bullets. Can't do it.

Inside an armored vehicle, a soldier wearing a helmet and bare hands covered in tattoos seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. With a bang, he lifted the top cover of the armored vehicle and was about to climb out.This move frightened the comrades in the car, and someone shouted:

"Carmine, Creighton Carmine, you're dying!"

The soldier turned his head and gave them a hard look. Even though he was wearing a helmet and couldn't see his expression, his voice suppressed his anger: "The Carmin family only died in battle. There is no such aggrieved one who just sits and gets beaten without fighting back!"

He climbed onto the roof in twos and threes, pushed away the remains of his dead comrades-in-arms, set up the heavy machine gun on the roof, and yelled at the sky: "Come on, you bunch of orcs, let's see who can take my gun today!" life!"

The heavy machine gun roared and threw a scorching bullet chain into the sky. His roar was mixed with the sound of gunfire, and he gave a stubborn cry on the chaotic battlefield.The plundering beast knights didn't seem to expect that there would still be people who would dare to resist. The overly dense formation allowed the bean-sized projectiles to successfully rub against the shells of several monsters. Although they failed to cause fatal injuries, the riders failed to control their anger under the excitement The monster collided with the companion next to it, and Kamin seized the opportunity to straf and explode their airbags, and the two monsters exploded into pieces in the air.

Clinton Carmine laughed loudly: "Did you see, beasts, even if you die, I will take you to be buried with you!"

His bravery was witnessed by everyone, and his comrades in the car seemed to muster up their courage, rushing out with rifles, roaring and shooting towards the sky.The power of role models is infinite. Take this as a point and gradually spread to the outside. Hundreds of soldiers who are still alive have come out of the bunker to imitate their actions. Dozens of light and heavy weapons have gathered into a thin layer of barrage.Each of them chanted slogans, which was their self-esteem as a security soldier and human beings.This slogan has been passed down from the pendulum war to the present, simple but profound.

"For the sake of the Security Alliance, I will stick to it to the death!"

The soldiers left the safer vehicles and called for the women and children to get on the vehicles. The chaos was stopped. Under the call of the soldiers, the men gathered and pushed the damaged and blocked vehicles to the sides.People are constantly being knocked down, and people are constantly being filled in. The armored vehicles of the army are also stepping on the accelerator, roaring and trying to push the obstacles away—they already understand that the vast majority of people here cannot escape their doomed fate, whether it is soldiers or civilians. Well, this may be the last of courage, but this one time seems to be enough.

The plundering beasts dodged the bullets flying from the ground, and this resistance was like an itching for them.They didn't care about the movement on the ground, and the resistance that broke out in desperation was just a ridiculous move in their eyes.After raising the altitude, the orc commander seemed to have issued an order. Dozens of hundreds of rocket pods were aimed at the ground uniformly, and a covering bombing was about to be carried out.

As for what are the eight faint fluorescent lights that appear in the sky, their limited imagination seems to be unable to give them an answer, so the beast doesn't care.That thing is still many kilometers away. Is it some kind of human weapon?

But missiles, when you see them, it's too late.

On the ground, Carmine finally couldn't fire the gun, because the magazine of the machine gun had been emptied and the barrel had turned red.In this situation, no one can help him find ammunition, so Carmine, who was jumping angrily, could only use his rifle to shoot into the sky, and at this moment, he was the first to notice that the fluorescent lights seemed to speed up...

No, it's an illusion, because that thing has always been fast!It was faster than people expected, and the distance was shortened a lot in just a blink of an eye.After hesitating for a moment, he thought that this thing was probably aimed at this place.

"Guys..." Carmin put down his gun, "Didn't our Air Force die 14 years ago?"

The driver turned the steering wheel and shouted impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking about, get out and push the cart if you run out of ammunition!"

"No, I mean..." He pointed to the sky, unable to turn his head around, "Is this missile our own?"

As soon as Kamin finished speaking, a missile rushed into the herd unstoppably. It didn't select any single target, but triggered the fuze at the very center!

"boom!"

Hundreds of thumb-sized steel balls wrapped under the shell of the warhead spread 360 degrees under the impetus of high-energy explosives, laying a terrible net of death.The supersonic projectile pierced the round body of the plundering beast like a balloon, shredded, penetrated and hit the second target. In an instant, more than a dozen plundering beasts were blown to pieces, and their rag-like corpses fell down. The air wave set off by the second detonated missile was thrown into the sky.

Explosions, explosions happened one after another in the sky, and the flying steel balls sometimes hit the place beside Kamin, but he kept his eyes on the sky, watching these orcs who were so arrogant just now turned into rubbish pieces. The corpse filled his heart with joy.Even though it's still confusing, it's always heartening to have support.

Some missiles did not fly directly into the herd of beasts to detonate, but circled in a large circle, and after the first few missiles swept across the sky, they grabbed the flying monsters that had escaped from the death vortex to make up the knife.After the spectacular eight medium-range air-to-air missiles were all detonated, the entire sky was clear, and only a few plunderers who escaped by chance fled in haste.

The crowd erupted in cheers—just now they thought they would die, but the turning point came so quickly.Excited survivors hurried to clear the way, and the vehicle was finally able to move forward slowly.

But there was an eerie hiss from the direction of the city, which soon led to more howls.Carmine turned her head, but saw the burning Sylvie City, one after another plundering beasts took off from the city.One by one, they seemed to be attracted by the movement here, dozens, hundreds, densely packed like locusts flew out of the urban area, and rushed straight to here!

Kamin opened his mouth, and the joy just now was swept away.It took him a while to speak: "...Here, at least a hundred more are enough?"

The sharp-eyed crowd also made a discovery right in front of them: "Look, our reinforcements are coming!"

But there is no meaning of being happy, because the aircraft that can be seen vaguely, or a fighter jet?There are only four in number.

Clayton Carmin's ups and downs couldn't bear it any longer, and he slammed his fist hard on the armored vehicle: "Four vs. four hundred, is fate playing a joke on us?!"

Chapter 23. The difference in quality will not be offset by the advantage in quantity

Warm blood dripped from his forehead, and his vision was blurred.

There is no concept of time, it seems that tens of millions of years have passed in a daze.He no longer remembers many things. On the contrary, there are some new things in his mind—or memories?In those familiar and unfamiliar clips, he clearly saw himself sitting in a room full of textbooks and wrinkled examination papers, messy desk, steaming from the opened instant noodles, and he was concentrating on playing. game.

Ah, yes, I am a young man with a dream, let me think about it, what was I doing at that time?Oh, I'm running laps, I've managed to squeeze into the top ten, and I'm only one step away from eating chicken, but...

The young man shook his drowsy head. He felt that there were thousands of bees flying in his head, and he couldn't hear the sound outside at all.Wiping the sweat off his brow, he froze - red?is blood!

"Where is this place?"

Only then did the young man realize the chaos around him, those running crowds and burning trucks really appeared beside him, and successive explosions happened behind him—while he stared wide-eyed at everything around him, thinking Judgment was made at the first time.

"I crossed?"

The young man's head was dizzy, and a strong sense of happiness surged up - time travel!I actually traveled through time, and what many people dream of happened to me!Is this a different world, or a battlefield?

He looked down and saw that he was wearing armor and holding a rifle. He looked like a soldier.Although he doesn't know what's going on in this world, his clever little head has already made a perfect plan for his magnificent future!

First of all, earn military merits, strive to become a war hero, and gain fame and beauty.Then, accumulate your own power, dominate the world, and become the leader above ten thousand people!

He is full of confidence in this plan. There is no doubt that as a time traveler, he must have some cheats, otherwise why would he travel?Maybe there will be a system soon, and the gods will come to talk to themselves.Thinking about it this way, I still feel a little excited!

"Come on, It's not safe here. We got ta move! (Quick, it's not safe, we gotta move)"

A soldier in the same attire suddenly grabbed him and yelled, as if he was in a hurry.But...is this in English?I haven't passed the grade test. If you speak slowly, I can't understand you.

Clayton Carmin jumped out of the car, grabbed the comrade who was in a daze, saw his smirk, and quickly gave him two slaps.

"Are you dumbfounded, or did you get a concussion from the blast?" He wondered in his heart, and when he was about to pull the man away, there was a scream of a predatory beast above his head, followed by machine gun fire!

He found a bunker with a skillful pounce, but remembered that his comrades were still on the road, so he turned around and shouted, "Get down!"

But it was already too late. The three-beast cannons mounted by the orcs on the plundering beasts had an incomparably large caliber, and the pouring bullets swept across the center of the road like a plow.

"NO——!"

But Kamin has no time to grieve. At some point, the plundering beasts pouring out of the city have covered the sky above them again. They howled, and most of them ignored the convoy on the ground, but rushed Towards an aircraft rapidly approaching from the horizon.When the herd of beasts soared into the sky, the scene was much more spectacular than the migration of migratory birds. On the one hand, Kamin and the others were grateful to these aircraft for attracting the firepower of the orcs, but on the other hand, they were secretly worried.

The quantity is too disparate, right?

The distance between the fighter plane and the beast is rapidly closing. Unlike the Annihilator who keeps flying in an inverted V shape, there are always a few strong monsters who break away from the group and bear the brunt of it. Their flying speed is less than tens of yards per second and they shoot towards the fighter plane first. They launched dense but inaccurate barrages, and after firing several unguided rockets, they quickly increased their altitude, and the predatory beasts behind them did the same.

The rain of bullets and the rockets floating around, I don't know who the commander of the orc is, but it is very wise to find that the speed of the fighter is far higher than that of the plundering beast, precision strikes are not counted on, and it creates a dense barrage to force the opponent Break out into formation and engage in dogfighting, what they do best!From God's perspective, hundreds of plundering beasts stretched out a large net and came straight to the formation net.Perhaps it is because of the long-experienced human aircraft that the steering is not as flexible as them, such a tactic can be described as quite wise.

But suddenly, a series of predatory beasts twitched and then stalled and fell. What's more, their airbags seemed to be ignited by something, turning into a ball of fire in the air-without any warning at all, such things happened one after another, so that A gap appeared before the encirclement net was closed.

These orcs still use Wei'an's giant crow helicopter to look at the aircraft of the Brotherhood, and they are completely unaware of the detector-sized "lens" under the streamlined nose of these subsonic cruising fighters.These small camera-like things were originally beam cannons for the Venom fighter, and the continuous irradiation of its X-band invisible laser is enough to melt steel, not to mention the chitin skin of the Ravager.

"The beam cannon is overheated, stop output. All units act according to plan No. [-], fire freely, repeat, fire freely!"

"Don't fight with the orcs, our goal is to intercept and induce. The 'Werewolf Brigade' is being deployed, and they are the protagonists today, understand?"

"So, we are here to play the supporting role in the front station?"

"Don't worry, there will always be a time when we play the leading role...No. 3, pay attention to your three o'clock direction!"

The formation began to tilt, and the airborne "feedback radar" clearly calculated the direction of the orc barrage, allowing the fighter planes to pass safely through the gap between the bullets.When the flying monsters of the orcs also accelerated, the distance between the two sides was no more than 1.5 kilometers——

The noise of the 20mm caliber six-barreled Vulcan cannon gave people a tearing feeling. The Annihilator fired a short burst, and the tracer clearly pulled a chain of fire in the air, and the Ravager had no ability to hide. Through this onslaught that is so close at hand.Armor-piercing incendiary bombs easily penetrated their thick skins and ignited the methane-like gas in the gas bags.Thanks to their dense formation, the fire control didn't need to be adjusted much. A single salvo exploded a dozen fireworks in the air.The cannon pods hung in the middle of the wings also joined the battle, and the four fighters formed an unstoppable blade, and the slanted firepower cleared a passage in front of them in an instant.

The orcs didn't seem to be intimidated by such an offensive. Dozens of plundering beasts descended urgently to intercept them, but the boost output of the dual pulse detonation engines allowed the fighter plane to break through the speed of sound and rush out of the gap in an instant. The blast wave knocked the belated orc off his feet.
