Chapter 498 Thousands of Miles Away
501, Thousands of Miles Away
Tang Wen was thinking about plotting against the European Federal Reserve, and the Ether Kingdom was also getting ready to make a move. Since the last treasury case broke out, the Ether Kingdom has not stopped at all.
Recently, the Ether Kingdom has started to provoke the people from Lao Ba again.
However, unlike the past, the Lao Ba people were also cunning this time. They secretly bought a lot of equipment from Polar Bear and Blood Sabre, and even saved money to invite a team of signal flags from Polar Bear.
Polar Bear's signal flags are divided into two parts, internal and external.
The internal people are responsible for the homeland and some special things, such as the very important "submarine", and the external people have more things to do, of course, the most important thing is to make extra money.
So some of the dirty and tiring work is done by them. Unlike ordinary mercenary groups, this group of external people are all in charge of Fengshen (Intelligence Department).
The combat effectiveness and quality of these people are far superior to other small countries, not to mention their equipment. It was completely a state of crushing, even the Ether Kingdom was a younger brother in front of them.
Therefore, Tang Wen was thinking about how to get some benefits from it. After all, such an opportunity to fish in troubled waters is not often available. If you miss it once, you will have to wait for many years.
This time, the Ether Kingdom "fished" a lot of equipment from the American consortium, among which the defense system known as "Zeus" was the first to bear the brunt.
Since the last time the network was attacked one after another, the Ether Kingdom can be said to be very "attached" to this area. The American consortium also did its best to help.
Moreover, the "Zeus" system is also equipped with air-to-ground and air-to-air interceptor missiles. But the cost is a bit high, and the cost of an interceptor missile is as high as 80,000 US dollars.
Generally, more than 2 missiles are required to ensure an interception rate of more than 95%.
Although it is a bit painful, in order to protect itself, the Ether Kingdom can be said to have suffered a lot this time. The United States even sent another Ranger Division to the Ether Kingdom.
Locke, the former head of the 1st Cavalry Division, snorted at this. After learning that the United States continued to send more personnel, he ordered his subordinates not to act without his order.
"Division Commander? Are we like this?" The staff officer of the 1st Cavalry Division said awkwardly.
Locke snorted coldly: "What? Didn't you see what happened to Yuri last time? Even if we send people out on patrol, do you think anyone would want to go and die?"
Chief of Staff Yuri was stunned for a long time and didn't say anything. Yes, the last incident in the Ether Country has left many people in the 1st Cavalry Division with a shadow.
Not to mention the equipment that they "launched" themselves. If it happens again, they don't think that their small bodies can compete with armored vehicles.
Not to mention the missiles that are fired everywhere, that thing is not a squirt gun.
"Bonner and his Rangers are willing to die, we just watch the show on the side. This is not other places, this is shit." Locke cursed.
Yuri opened his mouth, but still did not refute.
After all, the last time the Ether equipment went crazy, their 1st Cavalry Division suffered a lot of damage. If they hadn't retreated in time, many of the "crazy" equipment would have almost wiped out half of their division.
And their 1st Cavalry Division has always been dealing with some "tough" problems. To put it bluntly, they are the ones who take the blame.
So for the arrival of the Rangers this time, they wanted to watch the jokes on the side. The main reason is that Bonner is an American of Ether nationality, and Locke himself doesn't like them.
As the saying goes, "It's better to die than to die."
After the leader of the Rangers, Bonner, arrived in Ether, he immediately contacted the fleet to deploy fire support for his base, and by the way, he also trained the people of Ether to use the "Zeus" system.
This time, Minister Tully, who "temporarily" came to the rescue again, found Mel, the head of Mosa, and asked him to be responsible for the handover with the Rangers.
The last Mosa "green scarf" incident made Mosa's department lose face. Not long ago, some large-scale horse-playing images of the "foreign aid" invited by Mosa from Hollywood appeared on the Internet.
The main "foreign aid" are now divorced, and they "highly announced" that the men in the photos are not married. What's wrong with them being single and "pursuing love"?
This made Mel, the head of Mosa, so angry that he almost vomited blood. Did this damn Infernal Affairs rebel? What's even more speechless is that the two elite agents sent by Mosa before have now become the other party's "bodyguards".
And they also blocked Mosa's contacts, which made Mel angry and wanted to settle accounts with their families at that time. It turned out that they were all "orphans".
Mel, who was hit hard, was once neglected for a long time. There was no way that the "defection" of Mosa's department made the people of Ether Kingdom a little embarrassed, but Mel also had the ability, so he could only be temporarily neglected.
This time, after Tully came to power again, he directly transferred Mel to negotiate with the Rangers. Before Mel took office, Tully told him, "We have the help of the Rangers this time. If you still can't grasp the situation, you can get out."
"Okay, Minister, I will grasp it well this time." Mel replied seriously.
But no one knew that Mossa was destined to be in trouble this time. Whether it was the signal flag editor or Tang Wen who was watching from the sidelines, it was destined that this time would not be "stable".
Bonner was born in an Ether family, so he was familiar with this place. Under Mel's guidance, they quickly established a tight defense.
The Signal Flags' external editors were also busy. They knew that if Lao Ba's equipment was to compete, it would be impossible to compare with the all-American equipment of Ether.
But they also have an advantage, that is, they are familiar with the terrain and have many hiding places. With these conditions, the Signal Flags' external editors took out their trump cards.
"Simple Katyusha"
This thing is not used for any attack, this thing is purely to burn the opponent's money. The manufacturing cost of a simple Katyusha is only 10,000 US dollars, and 8-12 simple Katyushas can be launched.
But if the opponent wants to intercept, they must use the "Zeus" that costs 80,000 each to launch two consecutive missiles to ensure 100% interception success.
One missile costs 160,000 US dollars, what about 12 missiles? Moreover, this thing can be loaded on a truck and towed away. It comes and goes without a trace, so it is used to burn the opponent's money.
They don't even feel bad about throwing away the car after the attack, but the Ether Kingdom is in trouble. Facing such a "rogue", they can only intercept it, otherwise the loss will be greater.
For a while, a "money-burning" war began.
