"Exactly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lin Hai said frankly, "Although even so, there may still be a batch of control chips in the hands of the people of country M for research, but our things are not so easy to be reversely studied, and this also involves the technology of materials science in another time and space, which is not so simple." However, it cannot be ruled out that if the people of country M have somehow opened up and suddenly made it from other synthetic materials, this is not good news. So it's a little bit less to let them have a little less chip in their hands. Of course, this is the most ideal situation, and it is also possible that the M Army may choose to suppress the ground with long-range artillery, and then attack the air warships with their own conventional missiles to save the chips as much as possible. Even the soldiers could storm with their lives. Of course, if this is the case, then we will have to find another way to 'help' the people of country M to consume those chips, but this needs to be considered in the long run, and there is no hurry for that moment. ā
"So, sir, what are you going to do with those storm pillars? It can't be with the armored missile I helped test earlier, right? ā
"Although I also want to use that thing, it can facilitate us a lot, but unfortunately, at present, in addition to the experimental one and the other two spare experimental bombs on the 'Hercules', I have just given the arsenal a production task, so at least we will not be able to replenish more armored missiles in the past few days." Lin Hai said in a tone that I didn't really care about though I regretted it, "So in desperation, I can only use another weapon." In his spare time, Dr. Kane, who was supposed to deal with the joint meeting, not only came up with an armored missile, a defensive breakthrough missile that only needed a simple upgrade, but also a self-propelled gun called the 'Ghost Artillery'. Although there is only one 200 mm barrel, but in terms of range, the use of rocket range extender can reach 150 kilometers, the hit rate is also quite impressive, and the power is also good, in order to deal with the storm pillar, we have also specially made a special armor-piercing projectile, but it has not been tested, just borrowed the armor-piercing shell data of the Colossus shelling mecha. I have to say that Dr. Kane is really powerful, and he casually made two weapons, although it is only a few adjustments on the basis of the original one, but it really increases our tactical options. ā
"Are you planning to use this new weapon, known as the 'Ghost Cannon', to destroy the Storm Pillar? However, as far as I know, in addition to being able to generate a five-kilometer radius of plasma clouds in the area above them, the Storm Pillar itself will also generate a regional force field shield to protect itself and other surrounding facilities. Can the shell power of this ghost cannon destroy that force field shield? If you want the shell not to be detonated in advance by the plasma cloud, you need to strengthen the shell of the gunhead, so that the charge of the warhead will be reduced, and the power will be weaker when attacking the force field shield. The 380 mm cannon used by the Colossus, in addition to the fact that the shell itself is large enough, after thickening the shell, no matter how small the internal space is, it is more than the 200 mm shell charge, plus the kinetic energy of the shell itself, a few more shells can also cause not weak destructive power. But with 200 mm shells, the charge is reduced, not to mention, and the kinetic energy is ...... "
"You don't have to worry about that." Lin Hai replied easily, "Before we set off, we had already made relevant calculations. Indeed, a single or small number of ghost cannons are not as powerful as an equal number of Colossius. But we can get a little more, and trade quantity for quality. So I shipped sixty ghosts to New York. As long as the M Army broke through the defense line of the Sijing people, it deployed to the nearest position as much as possible to open fire, preserving the power of the shells and reducing the chance of being intercepted on the way. Of course, this is actually just an appearance, and it is made for others to see, so that they think that our ghost artillery is really that powerful. But it was our Harmonic Resonance Cannon that really wreaked havoc on the Storm Pillar. It was the only attack weapon we had that could ignore the Sijing Human Field Shield, a powerful weapon that could fire from a safe distance. Although it can only be used on planets with atmospheres, it is already the most powerful of all conventional weapons in our possession. This is not the kind of orbital laser cannon used in planetary defense bases, which requires a standard hydrogen-oxygen reactor to supply the power of a single machine. ā
"I haven't said anything yet." Rex muttered, "But the harmonic resonance cannon, I remember that the size is not small, such a big guy fires, can't others see it?" New York is still the territory of the M people. ā
"Of course it won't be an experimental prototype, it's already been half destroyed in testing. This time, we're using a specially equipped Enhanced Saboteur tank. The firing range is only ten kilometers, which is still available when there is an external energy source, and without external energy, even if it is a specially equipped and strengthened saboteur tank, the maximum range is only five kilometers, and the power is still slightly insufficient. This is also the reason why we need to wait until the M Army breaks through the Sijing defense line before launching an attack. One is because the saboteurs don't have enough range, and the other is because we need the M Army to attract the attention of the Sijing people so that the weapons can shoot undisturbed. ā
"Understood, if you want to attack the Storm Pillar, you need to deploy the attack weapon to a sufficient attack position, you need to break through the defense line of the Sijing people, and you need our assistance to interfere and destroy the rear of the Sijing people." Rex nodded slightly, "But I'm under-equipped and understaffed, so it may be difficult to meet the interference requirements you need." ā
"Didn't I just say that?" Lin Hai smiled, "You have already caused an impact. Most of the Sijing and human rebel forces that were originally used to encircle and suppress you who were stranded in the area controlled by the Sijing people have now been transferred to the front line to fill the holes, and the number of enemies you have to face has been greatly reduced, and it is not impossible for you to solve them. As long as you can solve the already scarce number of Sijing troops, and then do what you can to make the Sijing people's scheduling problems, even if it is just a little hesitation, it will already provide a lot of help to the front line. This, I believe, with your ability, is not a big problem. I'll be able to help you with that too. ā
"We can't get rid of the sight of the Sijing people now, no matter what covert actions we do, we can't avoid the surveillance of the Sijing people, they can always find our whereabouts, so the special operation is currently impossible, we can only fight like ordinary troops. Now in order to achieve this goal, we lack manpower, and even less all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment. Knowing that he could get support, Rex also unceremoniously made a request to Lin Hai, although he didn't know how Lin Hai would send support to the area controlled by the Sijing people, but he believed that Lin Hai would not make random promises in vain, "Of the six shepherd tanks brought in before, one was damaged and lost its combat effectiveness, and the others were also quite damaged. It is difficult to take on the heavy task of attacking the main force of the Sijing people. ā
"I know." Lin Hai said, "So I'll send reinforcements to you." However, it was not our core force, but a part of the Defense Corps and the M Army. We're going to send the troops to the outpost in our way, and you should be able to see them when you get back. ā
"How many troops?" Rex asked, "So I know how to arrange the action." ā
"There aren't many of them." Lin Hai replied, "Otherwise, you won't be able to command them, after all, the more troops, the higher the rank of the officer in charge." Once they are too much higher than you, then do you command them, or do they command you? I remember that among the members of the task force who were surrounded in the war zone, the highest rank was a major in the M Army, right? So the reinforcements I sent were an armored company of the Defense Regiment and a company of the M Army Rangers. Coupled with your existing strength, it is enough to stir up a storm in the area controlled by the Sijing people. ā
"Understood, I'll go and rescue the personnel, and then gather reinforcements to assist the front-line troops in destroying the defense line of the Sijing people as soon as possible."
"It's going to be faster, indeed." "I have received news that the members of the Security Council have finally relented on the matter of the joint forces. It's a little different from what we expected, but it's good news for us. So we need to get the war out of New York a little bit faster, and then we need to move our energies to it.
