Chapter 972 The Flame of War (please vote for the big chapter)
"This kind of thing is indeed a long-term dream, but it will change later,"
Covey raised his head and looked at He Ao, "Do you have an idea?"
"Look at the documents I sent you. It contains detailed information on three locations: the warehouse, the chemical plant and the machinery plant."
He Ao looked at him and said.
Covey lowered his head and seemed to be staring at the screen, flipping through the documents quickly.
The old limousine gradually drove onto the dilapidated road, and Covey gradually stopped flipping documents.
He raised his head, looked at He Ao, and said hoarsely,
"The warehouse is located directly north of the command center, closest to the command center. Judging from the data, there are many people and equipment, and it is the most likely to launch a raid. However, the defense facilities to the north of the command center are also the most complete, and the defense manpower is also the most
of.
"The chemical plant is located to the northwest of the command center. Its logistics volume cannot support a large amount of ordnance. If a large number of trucks suddenly set off, many equipment cannot be carried.
"The machinery factory is closer to the southern block, too far from the command center, and the logistics do not pass through the command center. Sudden dispatch of vehicles to nearby areas will also arouse suspicion."
He paused for a moment, "Do you think they will attack from one of these three locations? Is the Prisoner Gang hiding in one of these three locations?"
Then he lowered his head and glanced at the information again, "For the defense layout of the command center, the north side has the strongest defense because it is closest to the core building, followed by the west side facing the southern block, and finally the east side facing St. Yilan District. From the east
The distance from the west to the core building is the same.
"Judging from this intelligence layout, they have deployed the largest number of manpower in the warehouse. It is difficult for chemical plants and machinery factories to organize large-scale troops. It seems that their most likely possibility is to attack from the north?"
"Also a possibility,"
He Ao shook his head and raised the map in his hand, "They want them all,"
Red lines spread out from the map, planning roads. He continued, "The core of the beheading operation is time. The longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility that the Beicheng city defense troops will return to defense, and the possibility of the operation failing."
It will be higher, and a strong attack will take the most time and cause the greatest losses."
"you mean···?"
Covey looked at the map projected in He Ao's hand, thoughtfully.
"Surprise attacks are often faster than strong attacks. Under the current conditions, the probability of success is higher,"
He Ao looked at the map in his hand,
"The powerful extraordinary beings of the Prisoners Gang are good helpers for surprise attacks. There are indeed a large number of mercenaries and ordnance in the warehouse. There is a high probability that these people will be asked to directly attack the northern part of the Nancheng Command Center, but this is probably not the case.
Their true 'core main force'."
Some heavily armed mercenary phantoms walked out of the warehouse building on the map projected in He Ao's hand, followed a red road, and arrived at the northern part of the Nancheng Command Center.
"Will it be a feint to the north?"
Covey lowered his head and stared at the scene on the map.
"Actually, there is a very interesting question,"
Ho looked at Covey,
"The owner of this warehouse is still alive and well after so many years, and even received a large amount of rent paid by the Prisoners' Gang, but his contacts have been dealt with long ago.
"Saint Yilan's security is indeed very good, but it is not so good that it is impossible to assassinate a person silently. What's more, the Prisoners Gang's extraordinary force is not bad, and they also have the support of the consortium.
"Moreover, the practice of customizing warehouse management systems with backdoors is very common in the black market. It involves such a secret ordnance arrangement, but the Prisoners Gang did not replace the warehouse management system, but has continued to use the system with backdoors."
"Either the Prisoners didn't get any help from cybersecurity experts and didn't discover this,"
Covey lowered his head and looked through the information in front of him.
"Either this is a 'bait' left intentionally to expose the warehouse through the mouth of the warehouse owner when we suspect it, making us think that they are going to attack from the north of the command center to attract our attention.
force,
"And if we follow this idea, then whether we strengthen the defense in the north or deploy troops to attack warehouses, it will lead to a lack of defense in other places,"
He looked up at He Ao, "So where do you think their real main force will attack from?"
"If there is a problem in the north, where will the troops be transferred to defend the north?"
He Ao looked at the old man on the screen and asked slowly.
"East Side,"
Covey glanced at the map, "The east side is far away from the southern blocks and warehouses. The three areas in the data are all west of the command center, so at first glance, the east side is the safest place, and it is also easiest to mobilize the defenses on the east side.
Reasonable - so their main force will break through from the east?"
He paused for a moment, "But where will they start? The chemical plant? But the chemical plant does not have enough ordnance. The mechanical plant is too far away and is easy to be discovered. Moreover, the people in the mechanical plant are mixed, so the information is most difficult to conceal. I'm afraid
There won’t be a large number of people hiding there.”
"It is true that there is not a large amount of ordnance in the chemical plant, but they only need to transport people,"
He Ao raised his hand and pointed at the chemical plant on the projected map. A red line extended from the chemical plant. "There is a small road here that can go directly from the north of the southern block to the east of the command center."
"So where do they get their equipment from?"
Covey looked at the map and said hoarsely, "Even a powerful transcendent with only one or two submachine guns will not be able to quickly break through the defense of the command center against the fire suppression of automatic turrets and powerful electromagnetic guns."
"The equipment comes from the machinery factory. In fact, the machinery factory is not far east of the command center,"
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the slightly confused Covey on the screen. He raised his hand and touched the map again. A virtual fleet of trucks 'drove out' from the machinery factory on the map.
"This is the cargo transportation route of the machinery factory. Their transportation team will first enter the Saint-Elan District to the north, and then drive east,"
A red road stretches out on the map,
"But they can completely turn around in the Saint-Ilan District. The area south of the Saint-Ilan District happens to be the industrial area of Copes Mining. As long as Copes Mining helps them keep the secret, no one will know that they have passed here.
"Then they just need to meet up with the people from the chemical plant behind the hill where the building ruins are piled up."
He pointed to a hill on the map and looked up at Covey, "But they won't bring too much equipment. This should be a fully extraordinary decapitation team with at least one B-class, and they will probably carry electromagnetic pulses."
Bombs, automated weapons to disable the command center."
"What do you need me to do?"
Covey looked up at Ho.
After realizing He Ao's ability, he handed over the command to He Ao without hesitation.
"There is only one way to go from this hill to the east side of the command center,"
He Ao was not polite, raised his hand to enlarge the map, and then a red nearly straight line appeared on the map, "This road is the fastest and the shortest, but there are several hills made of abandoned buildings on both sides.
, the terrain is complex.”
"It's a good place for an ambush. Move the troops from the west over and quickly kill the decapitation team. Then concentrate your forces and turn back to eat the people who are feinting to attack from the north."
Covey glanced at the map and said, "And this location is close to the command center. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat."
He had basically understood what He Ao meant.
If the other party wants to attack in the east and west, they just sit back and wait.
"But there is at least one B-class transcendent on the opposite side,"
He Ao looked at Covey, "It could be two, and the strength is not too weak. It should be the power obtained through some kind of evil god or twisted existence."
"I'll go,"
Covey said hoarsely, "My old bones haven't moved in many years."
"What should the conductor do?"
He Ao looked at him.
According to official information, Covey is C-level, but the last time He Ao met him, he had discovered that the energy in his body was far from C-level.
"I'm not the only one in the command center,"
Covey smiled and shook his head, "I only need to make some general decisions, and the rest is the matter of the staff department. It will be no problem for me to leave for a short time. I will make arrangements in advance and then ask the staff department to move to the building.
In the underground air defense facilities, as long as the command center is not breached, then they are the safest."
"Is there a backup safety plan?"
He Ao looked at him.
These involve the internal arrangements of the city defense army, and He Ao did not find anything similar in the documents.
"There is an escape route in the air raid shelter,"
Covey said hoarsely, "But at that point, the command system is basically paralyzed. The Nancheng Command Center is now the safest place in the south. It has the most advanced military defense system and is close to the high wall. The city defense force
Reinforcements can be returned at any time. If the command center is breached, there will be no place to stay."
"I remember that the city defense command center has a direct passage to the high wall?"
He Ao looked at Covey and suddenly asked in a low voice, "After breaking through the command center from the inside, will there be a chance to open the city gate from the inside?"
"Yes."
Covey responded hoarsely.
"It seems we really have no way out."
He Ao withdrew his gaze, put his hands on the solid wood steering wheel, looked at the completely darkened sky in front of him, and smiled.
"It reminds me of the days when I was young and surviving in the wilderness."
Covey also laughed hoarsely, then he paused and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything going on in the west?"
"Won't,"
He Ao held the steering wheel and turned it gently, "I'm on my way here."
After hearing this, Covey was silent for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I should get ready."
Then he paused, as if remembering something, and asked hoarsely, "Aren't you worried that the consortium has infiltrated my people?"
The Ives space system's penetration into Nancheng is not weak. In the past, officers used mechas to hunt down He Ao.
"There are some guys who may have been blinded by the federal currency,"
He Ao said slowly, "But I also believe that there is no shortage of people in the city defense army who are willing to fight to the end to defend the city and the future. They are all brave warriors."
He has seen too many people like this. Even on the high wall of St. John City, when the command system completely collapsed and the Kjet mercenary group entered the high wall, there were still a large number of people who were isolated and helpless.
, but the soldiers of the city defense army were still fighting at the last moment.
Hearing this answer, Covey was slightly startled, then he lowered his head and said calmly and firmly, "They will not betray your trust."
The rich darkness swallowed up the silver-blue old-fashioned limousine, and also swallowed up the faces of the two old men.

low-rise block
As night fell completely, in the dim light, the young man repairing the bracelet put the last bracelet into the drawer, then stretched out and put down the mechanical tool in his hand.
Then he turned his head sideways, glanced at the hazy and dark night outside, and took off the electronic magnifying glass hanging on his left eye.
There was a slightly excited noise from the side. He slowly stood up and looked at the TV playing the news.
The TV host was still rattling off the dirty information to criticize the mayor and the city cabinet, as if the people living in the palace surrounded by a sea of jasmine were the most notorious villains in the city.
The young man raised his hand and turned off the TV.
The whole world seemed to be silent at this moment. The young man put down the repair tools one by one, and then put the repaired bracelet into a cabinet nearby.
When everything was done, he reached out and turned off the lights in front of the table.
As the dim light that illuminated the entire room was extinguished, the narrow shop blended into the darkness of the night.
In the silent darkness, the young man walked to a pile of boxes containing electronic components. After a brief hesitation, he reached out and pulled out a silver suitcase from between the boxes.
Then he walked out of the shop step by step with the suitcase in hand, picked up the long iron hook on the side, and hooked the lower edge of the open rolling shutter door.
Standing in front of the dark door, he raised his head and glanced at the entire store again.
Then he slowly used force to pull down the entire rolling shutter door, cutting off the night and the shop.
The night wind was slightly cool, and there was no one on the old road. The young man raised his head and glanced at the huge advertising screen above his head. At this moment, the mayor's answer from today's noon press conference was being replayed on the screen.
He retracted his gaze, picked up the suitcase, turned around, and slowly moved forward along the dilapidated road.
The people on the night shift have left, and the people on the afternoon shift have not yet gotten off work. The low-rise block is unusually quiet at the moment.
After turning around a few intersections, a dimly lit gate in the distance appeared in the young man's field of vision.
At this moment, some pedestrians began to appear around.
Some of them knew the young man. They stopped and greeted the young man in a low voice. The young man responded one by one. When they reached the gate, a little boy hurried in from outside the gate.
As soon as he saw the young man, he waved excitedly, "Brother Wells!"
"Jerlin?"
The young man lowered his head and looked at the boy with a smile, "Didn't you send your mother to the doctor? How is she doing now?"
"Already completely settled,"
The boy was a little excited, "The doctor introduced by Mr. Lin En was so great. He confirmed my mother's condition after a while of looking at it. He also said that my mother's disease is rare and valuable for observation, and he exempted us from medical expenses."
He can operate on my mother tomorrow."
"That's good,"
The young man looked at the boy with a smile, "Your life is starting to get better."
"Everyone's life is starting to get better,"
The boy chuckled and looked back at the slightly broken gate behind him and the city defense soldiers guarding the door, "How could I dare to come in through the east gate before? Those prisoners wouldn't even give me a scratch."
, now it’s fine, I can enter through the gate in a dignified manner, and no one will ask me for money.”
“Really good.”
The young man looked up at the door in front of him and smiled.
"That's right, Brother Wells,"
At this time, the boy remembered something. He looked at the young man and asked in a low voice, "Do you still sell bracelets? I am going to buy a bracelet for my mother. When she recovers, I will give it to her. She
She will definitely be very happy. She has always said she doesn't need it before, and I know she is reluctant to let me spend money."
"Yes, but I have to go out for a while."
The young man thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said.
"Um?"
The boy was a little confused, "Brother Wells, are you coming back?"
"meeting,"
The young man paused for a moment and looked at the boy in front of him, "But then, you may not need to buy a bracelet."
"ah?"
The boy looked at the young man in confusion.
But the young man did not talk to him again, but carried the suitcase and passed through the east gate not far away.
Vaguely, he seemed to see the young man's back jumping onto the roof of a low building.
But when he took a closer look, there was nothing there, only the dark and silent night.
——
Nancheng Command Center
Time passed by, until the night completely plunged into darkness, and the feeling of fatigue was already spreading in the darkness, but no one among the officers sitting densely in front of the crowded seats dared to relax. They raised their heads and were alert.
He looked at the live broadcast on the projection screen in front of him.
Not only one person lowered his head and yawned quietly, sleepiness quietly covered the entire space.
And at this moment, under the dim and silent sky on the screen, a series of magnificent and huge war machines slowly started, crossing the invisible line.
The flashing light seemed to surge and gather in the huge muzzle.
Like a bucket of cold water pouring down from the top of their heads, everyone woke up at this moment.
