Chapter 410 The Bloody Eve

In the capital, shortly after the battle in the inland sea area broke out, the command headquarters received frightening news - the inland sea fleet had been defeated.

This elite fleet used by the World Government to defend the sea gateway, including hundreds of main battleships, thousands of naval fighters, and hundreds of thousands of naval officers and soldiers, was defeated in this way.

Not even a detailed battle report was sent back.

Because the officers and soldiers of the Inland Sea Fleet on the front line didn't know what was going on. They only knew that the enemy launched an attack from underwater, and any countermeasures were ineffective. One by one, our own warships were bombed and sunk, and the entire fleet was destroyed by force. .

The capital is only more than a hundred kilometers away from the coastline. It sounds like a certain distance, but from a macro battlefield scale, it is almost right next to each other.

The inland sea fleet had been fully assembled before, intending to use its crushing maritime superiority to block the rebels from crossing west, forcing them to suspend their offensive, or launch an attack from a remote shoal area.

If the rebel offensive is paused, that will play into their own interests.

With the rich resources and war potential of the Western Region, the giant companies can directly and efficiently arm a large number of troops and cultivate countless extraordinary people. After this breath, they can launch a major counterattack.

If the rebels attack from the shoal area, they will have to face the war fortresses that have been built long ago. Those places have no strategic value, but they are the only way to attack the western area. The rebels will not attack at that time. Neither.

Our side can completely rely on numerous bunkers to wait for work, and use the depth to drag the rebels into the quagmire of war, causing great damage to their effective forces.

As for the fall of the inland sea

No one has ever thought of such a thing.

In the assessment of senior officials in the capital, the Inland Sea Fleet is impossible to defeat.

The rebels don't even have a decent warship, how can they fight against an entire fleet? Could it be by kayak?

Even if the opponent has an implanter who has completely replaced the Apocalypse Level 1 prosthetic body and can conduct aerial combat, it is only one person after all, and the combat range that can be covered is extremely limited.

Even if the industrial city military industry line is used to produce warships, it will be several years later.

As for a certain electronic virus controlled by the rebels, because it showed very strong dominance in the Battle of Tieyang, the world government forces had already taken precautions against it.

All equipment that relies on electronic systems to operate has the highest priority for manual operation, and has been "disconnected".

All interfaces that can interact with external data are closed, enter offline mode, and are manually operated.

The kind that is too highly informatized and can't be used without data interaction, just don't use it. Anyway, it will never leave a backdoor for the other party's hackers.

The impact of this extreme approach was huge, directly reducing the military from informationization to mechanization.

But there’s no doubt that it’s worth it to fight the rebel hackers.

However, no one expected that after such a level of handling and all aspects taken into consideration, the rebels would actually defeat the Inland Sea Fleet head-on.

The fall of the Inner Sea means that the capital's door is wide open, and the rebels can direct their troops here after landing.

The capital was originally far away from the flames of war, and as a capital city, material supply was a high priority, so all aspects were not greatly affected by the war.

But once the Inland Sea fell, relevant news ignited panic in the city like a prairie fire.

Countless military vehicles were speeding along the main traffic roads in the capital, and officers of all levels from the capital group army were rushing to the outer defense lines of the city.

On the public communication spectrum, every radio, every television, every radio plays the same content:

"The following is an emergency evacuation order. All residents of the capital are asked to return home immediately, bring their own water, food, and daily necessities, and wait for relevant instructions from community personnel. This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill!"

The evacuation order was issued too suddenly, and the people in the capital seemed very panicked. Cold sweat could be seen on the foreheads of residents, police officers, and even soldiers.

At first, some people thought this was a farce. It wasn’t until countless white waves streaked across the sky, a large number of fighter jets tore through the sky, and heavy transport boats flew over the city carrying Titan mechas that everyone knew it was really happening. problem occurs.

The whole city fell into chaos in a very short period of time. Pedestrians panicked and pushed away the people around them, screaming and trying to escape home as soon as possible. The crowded crowd squeezed out families, and the cries of children could be heard everywhere. Countless parents They were all calling their children's names, but they were so crowded that they couldn't tell where they were.

The driveway was completely blocked by chaotic traffic. Some people abandoned their cars and fled on foot. Some stubborn car owners were still honking their horns in their cars and even stepped on the accelerator irrationally, trying to drive off the car in front of them.

The original order suddenly collapsed under the pressure, and the shadow of war hung over the city.

The capital's high command.

The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant, making people breathless.

The commanders of the Capital Army sat on both sides of the long conference table, their expressions tense and serious. Everyone had a deep uneasiness on their faces, as if they had aged many years overnight.

A holographic war map of the inland sea was displayed on the screen of the command post. Red marks were densely scattered on it, like shocking bloodstains on the battlefield. Each mark represented a destroyed warship.

The commander of the Inland Sea Fleet solemnly reported: "That's what happened. Our Inland Sea Fleet encountered an unknown attack. The Cangming flagship was destroyed on the spot, and more than half of the remaining detachments were also lost."

"Currently, the surviving ships are withdrawing to the coastline, preparing to rely on shore-based defenses to block the enemy's offensive."

The commanders listened to the commander's report with very ugly expressions.

The news of the collapse of the Inland Sea Fleet came too suddenly and was undoubtedly a blow to the command center.

Although in this era, the military mainly focused on cultivating extraordinary people, and the traditional navy was not taken seriously, the inland sea fleet was defeated in such an inexplicable way, which is unacceptable.

The head of the world government sat in the main seat and asked seriously: "Have you figured out the enemy's attack method?"

Commander of the Inland Sea Fleet: "It's not clear yet. I only know that the enemy launched the attack from underwater. There is also intelligence that seems to mention that the submarine sonar has detected a large number of humanoid figures in the deep sea."

Someone asked tentatively: "Frogman troop?"

The commander of the Inland Sea Fleet shook his head: "The possibility is very low. It is impossible for frogmen to dive as deep as a submarine. Moreover, frogmen are mainly used for small-scale special operations. In the history of war, frogmen have never defeated an entire fleet head-on. precedent."

A depressing atmosphere permeated the command headquarters, and some people had already started to feel creepy, vaguely feeling that some kind of terrifying existence was spreading here.

"Dingling Bell-" When the surrounding was dead, the harsh phone ringing sounded suddenly, breaking the short silence.

Everyone raised their heads in unison, all looking at the phone.

The leader picked it up, and after only listening for a moment, his face turned pale, his eyes widened, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

The hand holding the receiver trembled slightly, as if trying to control his emotions.

The surrounding commanders suddenly had their hearts in their throats.

The leader put down the phone and looked at everyone present. His voice was low and hoarse: "Just now, all the shore-based defenses fell."

This sentence is like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. A burst of noise broke out in the conference room. The commanders looked at each other in shock, and the air seemed to freeze.

Someone asked in horror: "How could it fall so quickly! Are those rebels human beings? They didn't need to repair even after the naval battle?!"

No one answered his question because no one knew the answer.

Huge pressure pressed on everyone's heart, making them feel an unspeakable suffocation.

The fall of the shore-based defenses means that the rebels have established a complete sea-crossing channel that can continuously transport troops to the west coast.

The capital is only more than a hundred miles away from the coast of the inland sea. The gateway to the sea has fallen. If the rebels want to, they can penetrate directly into the heart of the capital. This is obviously unacceptable.

"Ding-ding-ding-" Just at this moment, another phone ringing came. It was the red phone on the table.

This is the liaison line with the giant's headquarters. It is not easily activated normally. It will only be connected when the situation is urgent or when important matters need to be negotiated.

The ringing of the red phone made everyone's eyes light up, as if they were grasping at straws, and the leader quickly went over to pick it up.

After picking up the call, the leader listened for a moment and began to report to the person on the other end of the phone: "The coastal area adjacent to the capital has been occupied. The rebels are advancing rapidly and are expected to reach the city within a few days."

"The Capital Group Army has been fully assembled and has deployed a complete defense line based on the city. We have also issued an evacuation order for the entire city and asked all people to return home to ensure that they will not interfere with the possible offensive and defensive battle."

The leader kept reporting on the current situation, and then began to listen to the other party's answers.

This process was not long, probably only a few minutes, but in the tense atmosphere, everyone felt that seconds seemed like years.

After hanging up the red phone, the leader looked at everyone. His expression looked very complicated, a little lucky, but also full of confusion and confusion.

"There is good news." He said, "The headquarters of the giant company has sent the most elite extraordinary people to participate in the garrison of the capital, including three of the strongest people in the world who have reached the peak of the seventh stage."

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally oppressive atmosphere relaxed slightly.

At present, it seems that there are only two strong men in the rebel camp who have reached the peak of the seventh stage, namely Fenrir and Dongdong.

There are three people with peak combat power on our side, and there are also a bunch of sub-top experts in the sixth and fifth stages, who are at least dominant in terms of extraordinary strength.

Coupled with the Capital Group Army, which has the most sophisticated combat capabilities of the entire world's government forces, and the advantage of fighting at home, the chances of winning are very high.

But judging from the cold sweat hanging on the leader's forehead, everyone knew that he still had bad news to say.

"The bad news is that in order to deal with the possible negative effects of a failed war, the "ultimate insurance" for all mankind in "Sky City" is on standby. "

The leader's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his voice couldn't stop trembling: "If we lose the battle to defend the capital, then we will be the sinners of all mankind."

At this time, the capital has entered the highest level of combat readiness. The retractable defensive wall, which is only used during war, rises from the outer surface and surrounds the entire city within a metal barrier like a huge iron curtain.

Soldiers at combat positions are fully armed, wearing heavy body armor and holding sophisticated automatic rifles. Their eyes are fixed on the distant horizon. Some are holding high-power telescopes to observe the enemy situation that may appear at any time.

There is a fortress turret every few dozen meters on the city wall, and the barrels shine with a cold metallic luster. In order to prevent hackers from controlling them, they have all removed their information modules and rely solely on mechanical systems and manual operation.

The gunners stood in front of the base and debugged the complex control panel. The red and green indicator lights flashed continuously, showing real-time data of various parameters to ensure that every piece of equipment was in optimal condition.

In the street area behind the city wall, a large number of defensive positions for street fighting have been deployed. Strong sandbags are piled up like mountains, forming defensive barriers, as well as barbed wire and obstacles for counterattacks.

At the same time, there are snipers hiding in high windows on every street corner and in every alley, with sniper rifles in their hands ready to shoot a fatal blow at any time.

The entire armored force was also assembled. Soldiers boarded their armored vehicles in an orderly manner, and drivers and gunners performed their duties in a small space.

The tank engine emits a low and powerful roar, like a giant steel beast roaring. They are hidden behind the bunker, with only the gun barrel extending outward, ensuring that they can pour out firepower while minimizing the impact surface.

Hundreds of Titan mechas stand at various strategic locations. These war weapons that originally had unmanned automatic combat modules have entered the "retro" manual control mode. They may have become cumbersome as a result, but they are still the backbone of direct confrontation. .

It is no exaggeration to say that the current capital is a war meat grinder.

If the enemy wants to invade the capital, they must first face a tough battle against the outer barriers. They must charge against pre-set minefields and heavy artillery fire. It is very likely that half of them will be lost before a close encounter.

Even if the rebels desperately try to break through the outer defense lines and invade the city, what awaits them will be the most unsolvable and bloody war mode in the history of human warfare - street fighting.

The elite soldiers of the Capital Army will rely on the endless buildings to wait for work. They can fire cold guns at any time, set up booby traps everywhere, and engage in street fights with the rebels in every strategic area, draining their last drop of blood.

It would be best if the rebels could not bear the high casualties and chose to bomb all types of buildings indiscriminately.

This stupid move will let the world see the face of the rebels clearly. As long as the civilian casualties are slightly embellished and the media reports it, the foundation of the rebels' existence will be shaken.

In any case, the capital has been turned into a flesh and blood mill, just waiting for the rebels to be brought, and their bodies and ambitions will be buried here! (End of chapter)
