On the endless sea, the burning steel is connected together, dotting the clear sky after the heavy rain into the setting sun. ◆????????????Search????????????.?

This is an unknown sea area less than 500 nautical miles away from the Baiyue Strait. There is only a small island of less than a few square kilometers nearby, with the historical name of Serik Island.
The fleet of the Southern Legion and the fleet of the South China Sea Alliance started an encounter near this island.
Among them, the Southern Legion fleet dispatched a total of twenty-three ships and five steel airships.
The South China Sea Alliance's fleet only has one cruiser Harpoon, four destroyers and three nuclear-powered submarines, plus a land-based anti-ship electromagnetic gun deployed on Serik Island in advance.
The South China Sea Alliance, which had just experienced a civil war, was severely damaged, especially the battleships that were the core combat force and were sunk to the bottom of the sea.
If we only look at the paper data, the gap in strength between the two sides is huge.
It is precisely for this reason that after discovering the fleet of the South China Sea Alliance, the Southern Army did not take it seriously at all and directly faced it with high head.
The whole battle lasted for several hours.
But the final result of the battle surprised everyone.
Facing the mighty armada of the Southern Legion, the South China Sea Alliance launched a kite attack on it with the help of anti-ship missiles and artillery-launched drones. After a few pulls, it almost wiped out all 23 ships of the former without any damage.
Sink to the bottom of the sea!
Not only that, two of the five steel airships supporting from the air were also knocked out by land-based anti-ship electromagnetic guns, and the remaining three could only flee the battlefield in a hurry!
to be honest……
Winning this battle was a little too easy.
In the bridge of the Harpoon, the adjutant holding a telescope looked at the clusters of flames floating on the sea and couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that the Southern Army was nothing more than this..."
Half of these twenty-three ships were diesel-powered, and black smoke erupted directly after a missile was fired.
The staff officer on the side also looked complicated, nodded and said.
"...Two-thirds of the twenty-three ships are offshore support ships. Except for the five steel airships, which are barely a threat, the others are not even a threat."
Compared to the surprise of the soldiers, Commander Li Minghui was quite calm about this victory.
The legion's reliance on airships is too strong, and this is especially obvious in the southern legion.
When facing the forces of indigenous survivors, the steel airship does have an overwhelming advantage. Both the density of projected firepower and the strike efficiency far exceed that of ground artillery and conventional flying units, and when paired with special warheads, it can also play the role of "one gun can defeat ten."
The miraculous effect of "cannon".
However, this alternative war tool is another matter when faced with evenly matched opponents.
In several confrontations with the Legion, the Alliance has accumulated rich experience on how to restrain the steel airship, and later absorbed the technologies of all parties.
If they are far away, use the anti-ship electromagnetic gun to overload, and if they are close, use the phaser cannon to break the shield + paralyze the engine. The alliance and its allies have formed a mature combat system against airships, and now the alliance has taught this method to the South China Sea.
alliance.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that although the naval power of the Southern Legion feels like it is completely an appendage of the army, this is not all of the legion.
For example, the naval strength of the Western Legion in the New World cannot be underestimated.
Judging from the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance methods alone, their strength is probably not weaker than that of the South China Sea Alliance.
But perhaps it was precisely because of this that these guys didn't really take action until the end.
This may sound a bit difficult to understand, but Li Minghui can understand the logic.
The imaginary enemy of the South China Sea Alliance's ships was the legion's airships, so it developed a fleet system with battleships as the core.
The Western Legion's fleet system also has battleships as its core...
To say this is a coincidence would be too much.
Those so-called businessmen had no intention of boarding the Southern Army's broken ship from the beginning.
Business is just business.
"After this battle, the Southern Army has nothing to fear, and it is time for us to adjust our imaginary enemy strategy."
Li Minghui put down the telescope in his hand and said.
The adjutant standing nearby knew what he was talking about.
"You mean...the Western Legion?"
"Well," Li Minghui nodded and said seriously, "We won this time, but I have a hunch that this will be the beginning of the Legion's awakening... The Southern Legion is the victim they pushed out, and after that, there will be
There are guys in more trouble."
The staff member thought for a long time and suddenly remembered what was discussed in the last seminar with alliance officers.
"Facing a combat system with battleships as the core... it may be a good idea to develop aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft."
The adjutant on the side smiled bitterly.
"History is indeed a circle."
If he remembered correctly, things like aircraft carriers were from the pre-Prosperous Era era.
It was not until the birth of space-based weapons that all kinds of aviation equipment entered the stage of history, and the entire battlefield moved from the ground to the sky, that outdated weapons were gradually eliminated.
If the Wasteland Era cannot end immediately, maybe after their gravity well is built, these roads that have been traveled will be walked over again.
Of course, this is only possible.
Li Minghui nodded and expressed an ambiguous attitude.
"I think the road ahead will not simply repeat itself. Let's just take it one step at a time."
…
In Settlement No. 10, in the plainly decorated city hall, Chu Guang put on his blue power armor again.
Although he no longer needs this thing, the significance of this set of armor to the citizens of the Alliance has long exceeded its own use value.
It's like a totem.
Facing the camera lens, Chu Guang stretched out his hand to straighten the microphone, and spoke in a calm and firm tone under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
"Today is a special day."
"Just in the past week, we have witnessed a series of appalling things happen."
"Without warning, the Southern Army detonated a nuclear bomb with a yield of more than 10,000 tons in the area of actual control recognized by our adherent community."
"And just when we were optimistic that this might be a misunderstanding and that no Alliance citizen was killed in the nuclear explosion, 20,000 Vaillant soldiers with live ammunition broke into our home..."
"The detonated nuclear bomb, 20,000 soldiers, including 23 ships bound for the Baiyue Strait... It is difficult for us not to connect these three things together."
"And this is undoubtedly an act of war!"
"A beast covered in human skin finally tore off its last disguise after a series of false attempts, revealing its ferocious fangs to us."
"I don't think I need to explain what they want to do, and until yesterday, they were still using their lame lies and pretentious hypocrisy to cover up their peaceful, gentle and courteous image."
"But we won't be fooled again, the war has already begun."
"I believe that our armed forces, relying on the determination of our people to unite, will achieve inevitable victory!"
"We will completely end this mistake that has lasted for a century and a half, and we will completely liberate all the survivors who were oppressed by the Southern Legion, including the Willant people who were oppressed by the Southern Legion."
"On behalf of the Union, I declare that due to the despicable behavior of the Southern Army in not declaring war, the Union and the Southern Army are in a state of war!"
"This is a formal declaration of war!"
At the same time as Chu Guang's words fell, the live footage of the speech had been broadcast throughout the alliance through the cables and signal towers laid by the alliance.
The Union officially declares war on the Confederate Army!
The ongoing war in Borneo is no longer a contest between volunteers and mercenaries.
At the same time, the war between the two sides is no longer limited to the battlefield in Borneo Province!
In the tavern in Boulder City, the three-minute speech was played on the TV on the bar.
At the same time as the sonorous and powerful voice fell, the entire tavern erupted into fierce cheers and applause.
They have been waiting for this moment for too long.
Those big noses are trying to be clever again and again and try to cross the bottom line of the league.
Since all the troubles are caused by these guys, why not just send this source of all evil to the grave?
A drunkard stood up and shouted in a rough voice.
"The manager is calling me. I will join the army tomorrow! It's time to end this charade!"
The brewery worker on the side also stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Count me in! Since the Southern Army is going to fight! Then let's fight them to the fullest!"
This sentence spoke to everyone's heart and received support from countless people.
Not just the workers at the brewery, but also the militiamen from the militia.
People whistled and cheered and applauded these brave young men.
They can't always hide behind the shelter residents.
Today, Boulder City has emerged from the haze of crisis, and now it is their turn to shine.
They will not give up their obligations and will stand side by side with everyone in the alliance.
From the trenches at the front to the factories at the rear!
They will keep fighting until they eliminate all the wolves on this planet who dare to bare their teeth at their brothers and sisters!
A drunk guy climbed onto the table and shouted to the crowd.
"I announce! The 1st Division of the Boulder City Expeditionary Force has been officially established! Just wait and see our good news. We will follow Mr. Manager and fight all the way into the lair of these predators!"
Voices one after another support the unknown man, which is also the voice of thousands of workers' union members.
"Just relying on the guys from the Workers' Union to throw money will never save the worker brothers in Borneo. We have to pick up the guns... Damn it, we should have done this a long time ago!"
"Not just the brothers in Borneo, but also in the desert! And the city of Aventre!"
Boulder City, the stronghold of the Alliance radicals, was not the only one that responded to the call for war with excitement.
From Dawn City to Dawn City and then to Luoye City, people who have lived and worked in peace and contentment for a long time took up guns again.
Including Weifu City, even Friesport and Settlement No. 1 are the same.
Both radicals and conservatives have reached a consensus on one thing at this moment -
The methods of civilized people are only suitable for civilized people. When facing shameless beasts, you must use fire and guns!
As long as they still live on this planet, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to what is happening on this planet.
If you want to achieve real peace, you must completely solve the problem of the Southern Army!
At the same time, the Commandery Mansion of Tiandu.
Absek, who was sitting at his desk, was staring at the TV intently, watching the speech of the alliance manager broadcast by Golden Gallen Harbor TV Station.
When he saw Chu Guang say the last words, Absek was as excited as a child. He stood up with a loud noise and walked around the desk three times.
His hands turned into fists, and his voice was trembling with excitement.
"The crashing sky is above...Silver Moon Goddess help me!"
The Union declares war on the Confederate Army!
The Alliance finally officially joins the war!
After sacrificing millions of soldiers and civilians, they finally waited for change and successfully delayed the turnaround!
As the supreme leader of Borneo, no one knows what this means better than him!
That energetic look frightened the cat who was curled up and taking a nap under the desk.
Absek looked at the defense committee member standing at the door and ordered vigorously.
"Give me the order to the entire army to prepare for counterattack!"
"yes!"
The National Defense Committee member solemnly performed a military salute, turned around and strode out of the door.
Looking at the high-spirited commander-in-chief, Internal Affairs Commissioner Wadia's brows showed a hint of worry.
The Shezhou local army has been making a lot of moves recently.
There is also the Gray Wolf Army, which is constantly fighting with the Southern Army in the southern area of Langzhou. Now it is like a loach, constantly expanding in the increasingly muddy water.
The chess piece that the commander-in-chief had deployed to the south in order to contain Shah Rukh has now become a huge problem that cannot be removed.
Compared to the Southern Army whose offensive had stalled, he always felt that the trouble was more fatal to Borneo.
"But Shah Rukh..."
Absek chuckled and said enthusiastically.
"Shah Rukh is a slippery man. In the past, when the situation was unclear, I really had to be afraid of him. After all, if we couldn't protect everything, he would defect to the army and in turn give us a knife. But it is different now. The war in Borneo Province has become
This guy is cunning, not blind, he knows what to do."
It's more than that.
Under this long-standing confrontation, Borneo's military strength has long been different from before.
Now he has many powerful generals and powerful soldiers under his command, including not only wise generals like "Jungle Rat" Isher, but also powerful generals like "Butcher" Pickley.
Shah Rukh?
A thing that can't even compete with the Southern Legion's poker cards is worthy of competing with him for the day?
There is no point in hearing your own boasts, you also have to see what others say.
Looking at Abu Saik who was full of confidence, Wadia smiled bitterly and nodded.
"yes……"
On the other side, General Gurion, who was far away in Sailsport, also learned from his own intelligence personnel that the Alliance had declared war on the Southern Army, and restored the entire declaration of war from the intercepted radio signal.
At first, when he heard that the war had finally reached the Alliance's homeland, his face was filled with excitement.
However, when he discovered that the Alliance was well aware of a series of plans implemented by the Southern Army, and even listed the code names of the operations verbatim, the smile on his face finally couldn't hold back.
Looking at the officer standing in front of the desk, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm.
"Where's our response! Did Avent City respond to the Alliance's declaration of war?"
The officer was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he said with an expression on his face.
"I...I don't know."
Seeing this guy's confused look, General Gulion roared.
"Then why are you still standing here! Why don't you hurry up and ask!"
The officer nodded hastily and ran out of the office door as if he was running away.
Guion returned to his desk and paced back and forth, the uneasy premonition in his heart getting stronger.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be...
Under normal circumstances, if the general staff's conspiracy is a big success, he should get the news before the alliance.
Whether it is the General Staff or the headquarters, they will definitely inform him of the next plan in advance and prepare for the next invasion of the Alliance homeland.
Just like the military operations after the Sails Harbor tragedy.
After Olet sent troops to control the situation, they almost immediately dispatched large forces and completed all preparations before the invasion.
However, the result now is that the whole plan has come to nothing at the most critical moment.
The huge General Staff seemed to be mute.
And he, the commander-in-chief of the theater, actually needed to use his own intelligence personnel to learn about the latest progress of the entire plan from the enemy's TV station news.
It feels as if it was not the alliance that was caught off guard, but they themselves shot themselves in the foot.
I returned to my desk and sat down.
Guion took several deep breaths to calm down his pounding heart, and murmured to himself.
"At least the Borneo war zone... the advantage is still in our hands."
Although he who said this also knew in his heart that the key to victory or defeat in the Borneo war zone was not decided by the pieces on this chessboard from the beginning.
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the office, and the officer he had called to contact the headquarters hurried back.
The man broke into the office directly and forgot to knock on the door.
However, after seeing his pale face, Guion had no time to care about such trivial matters and stood up and asked him.
"What did the city of Avent say?! What is the situation now!"
The officer's face was full of panic, his lips were trembling, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
"The company...people from the General Staff said that the company also declared war on us just now."
Businesses have also declared war...
Those east coast turtles.
After hearing this, Guion was stunned for a full minute, and then sat back on the chair without saying a word, and could not hear the slightest movement for a long time.
The situation was completely out of control and heading in a direction he had never imagined.
At present, the decision-making of the city of Avent is no longer important. Only the city of Triumph can decide where the fate of the Wilante people will go...
