"The second point," Lin Hai continued, "as far as I know, modern advanced weapons and equipment are not something that can be used by just anyone. They require a higher degree www.biquge.info of education, a longer period of relevant knowledge training, and a longer period of training to meet the standard of qualification. Not all of those criminals were geniuses, they were given advanced equipment, and they couldn't use it right away, even if they were taught by rebel veterans, when would they learn it? ”

"You're right, we still have some time to plan." General Hammer nodded and looked at Lin Hai, "I'm a little too nervous. In less than a week since the unexpected failure of the combat operation in New York, they have not been able to train many qualified technical soldiers. ”

"And now the strength of the Sijing people is also insufficient, General." Lin Hai reminded, "So if we do it well, maybe we can get a few cities back." ”

"But we don't have enough troops right now." General Hammer replied, "Even if you can take those cities, you can't hold them." ”

"You don't have it now, but that doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." Lin Hai raised his hand and pointed in one direction and said, "Middlesex is still fighting, if we can repel the rebels and the Sijing people who are attacking there, the M army there will naturally be under your command." And if you control Middlesex, you can open up transportation with big cities such as Boston, and thus get reinforcements from other states. ”

Then he waved his hand, pointed in the other direction, and continued: "And New Haven, we have basically been able to determine that the number of enemies here is very small, or should I say very few, not even as large as the number of M troops in this research base. As long as the city can be reclaimed, the city's port can be used, so that the troops of various countries, that is, the reinforcements of the global joint defense force, can directly land and fight here. ”

"Simultaneous operations in both directions, and our existing forces are not enough to complete such an operation at the same time." Listening to the interrogation officer next door interrogating the rebel captives about what they knew about the rebel movements, General Hammer began to think, "Two places, only one goal can be prioritized first. ”

"Your current strength is about 8,000 people, of which only about 5,000 can directly participate in the battle, and there is still a considerable lack of weapons and equipment. Individual light weapons may still be sufficient, but heavy weapons are far from sufficient. While General Hammer was thinking, Lin Hai was also helping him report these data that could help him think, "Destroy the rebels attacking Middlesex, you can flank the defenders there, which can reduce your own losses, and you can also get important supplies from the defenders immediately." But this research base needs to be abandoned, and you can't hold it while the main forces leave here. ”

"New Haven, right next to the base, just ten kilometers away, right next door, so to speak. Although you don't have a lot of troops and not enough heavy equipment, the number of Sijing troops guarding here is also not large, and the equipment is also very poor, and their heavy equipment has been destroyed by us in the previous battle, so it is not too much of a problem to take New Haven. Plus, it's so close to the base that you can even get supplies directly from the base. ”

"I need a map." General Hammer ordered directly to the guards standing guard at the door, "Bring a map of the neighborhood at once." ”

"Oh, General, do you have an idea?"

"No, it's just that there are other doubts to clarify." General Hammer replied, "Looking at the map helps me think about it well." ”

The map was quickly delivered, and without going back to the command center, everyone directly spread the map on a table.

"Look here." General Hammer pointed to a point on the map and said, "It stands to reason that New Haven is our best choice, because it is indeed the closest to us, and there are ports that can be used for sea transportation, even if there are no other countries' troops to support them here, the troops of country M can be mobilized by sea." But one thing is that even if we regain control of the city, it will be difficult to carry out maritime activities. That's Long Island Bay. ”

Everyone's eyes followed the general's words to the bay area between New York, the coast of Connecticut, and Long Island.

General Hammer continued: "If we want to carry out maritime activities directly through the port of New Haven, then those cargo ships will have to enter and leave this bay at any time, but now that New York has completely fallen into the hands of the Sijing people, then Long Island will naturally have the armed forces of the Sijing people. In this case, those cargo ships responsible for shipping will probably be attacked and sunk by the Sijing people, and the shipping activities will not be able to continue. In this way, there is little point in taking New Haven. ”

"The cargo ship won't necessarily be intercepted and attacked by the Sijing people, right?" One of the generals said with some uncertainty, "It's not that the current strength of the Sijing people is not as sufficient as it seems, and they may not be able to fully control the entire Long Island, right?" ”

"They don't need to be fully controlled, just a few combat boats deployed near Long Island are enough to threaten cargo ships." General Hammer said, "Don't forget that we don't have an air force to use now, not that there are no planes, but planes don't dare to take to the skies!" Not to mention the effects of electromagnetic interference, the lightning reaction in the high-altitude area alone has already blocked the possibility of our plane taking off! ”

"In addition to the fact that we do not have an air force escort, we also do not have enough escort ships." Admiral Hammer continued, "Our previous fleet, which had suffered great losses at the Battle of New York, had withdrawn to the west for repairs before the fall of New York. In this case, if you can't contact them, even if you can contact the fleet, I'm afraid they haven't finished repairing yet, and it won't be useful if they come. ”

"And even if they're done, it's useless." Cohen interjected, "In this strong electromagnetic environment, who knows how much combat effectiveness the naval fleet can exert." Missiles must already be difficult to hit the target, is it possible to manually operate those guns and guns, as in the second war, to carry out air defense? ”

"That's right." General Hammer nodded, "So even if New Haven is more convenient for us, but in the current situation, even if it is recaptured, it will not make much sense for us, rather than spending it here, it is better to open the passage to the eastern city and get support from there."
