Earth Invasion

Chapter 410 Overture
Brad King Arjokat sat on a wooden box in a corner of the cave and looked at the documents. The LED sheets for lighting emitted bright cold light, making the cave as bright as day.

Human beings are very good at learning wars in wars. This applies not only to people on Earth, but also to Assyrians.During the half-year-long confrontation and repeated see-saw on the front line of Kirkein, the Assyrians also gradually discovered some drawbacks and shortcomings of the existing weapon systems of many people on earth.At the same time, they have formed some effective defense and resistance measures against these disadvantages and deficiencies.

For example, the burrow where Bran Ryder is staying now.This kind of bunker, which is excavated obliquely downward from the reverse slope of the hill, and then forms a hidden cave below the horizon, is an effective way of forming a position created by the Assyrians.

The fortifications made by this simple earthwork have disappeared in the history of human warfare, but the special conditions of the Assyrian planet and the popularity of human directed energy weapons have brought this simple fortification back to life.

On the Assyrian planet, the military industrial enterprise system has not been well established, because in the eyes of the arms dealers and colonists, the directed energy weapons transported from the earth only consume electricity and metal hydrogen. It is a waste.And this kind of interstellar transport weapon can make the price a little higher.The energy supply of directed energy weapons is common to both military and civilian use, which is a good thing in itself.But directed energy weapons have allowed the Assyrians to exploit some of the loopholes that have eliminated aircraft and heavy air-to-surface conventional weapons from the stage.

For example, heavy ground-penetrating bombs, which are bulky, low-speed and powerful weapons.If there is such a thing, the burrows of the Assyrians will have no effect at all.But now the energy weapons such as electromagnetic weapons and charged particle cannons in the hands of the Assyrians can easily disintegrate those bulky iron guys in the air.But those simple and efficient directed energy weapons are not so good at digging holes.What's worse is that those things go straight. If you want to kill those holes in a straight line, you have to penetrate 40 kilometers of soil.Originally, this kind of thing required the near-earth assault ship to use low-orbit air strikes.But the space circle has been fighting against NATO from the very beginning, so they have never had the opportunity to carry out close-air strikes.At this time, building a production line of thick shell earth penetrating bombs on Assyria seems to be a very stupid thing.

By accident, this kind of crude burrow has become a major obstacle for the people on earth.Even if they found the location of the enemy's hiding place with shock waves, the security forces were helpless.

After returning to Fleet Marine's Airborne, the tables turned in a flash.From December, after the first batch of front-line integrated small-scale electronic warfare was completed, Bran Ryder began to let the top members of the Holy Grail Knights form a three-machine safari team, and began to attack the hundreds of kilometers on the front line of Kilcoyne. Launch short-term harassment operations against NATO security forces on a wide battlefield.These harassment operations are small in scale and short in depth, but the movements they make are not small.At the beginning of the battle, Branley decided that this kind of harassing operation is not aimed at the result of the battle. It is his goal to make the opponent fear, make the opponent feel hateful or even angry, and finally become timid.

The quality of individual soldiers of the NATO Colonial Security Force is poor. Although they like to be brave and ruthless, as a complete fighting group, their fighting will can be described as a loose sand.This kind of army will be very brutal in a downwind battle, but when toughness is needed, most of them don't have it.

Carefully flipping through the enemy situation analysis book handed to him by an SCO army instructor when he returned from Earth, Branley silently counted in his heart the days when the safari team would conduct harassment operations and the number of sorties. , and a comparison of the materials and results consumed after these sorties.

He calculated in his mind for a long time, and found that he couldn't figure it out with his own head alone.

Standing up, he tapped himself on the back.Bran Ryder got out of the hole, and then got into another cave along the curved traffic tunnel.After they airborne, one of the biggest changes in these caves is that they used to use oil lamps, but now they are all pasted with LED patches for lighting.The cave has changed from a smell of oily smoke and darkness to a bright one.

"Hello, Chief Alcayote, what can you do?" In the cave, several soldiers on duty were eating something - something steamed with flour and mushrooms, and there were some Crushed meat floss.Judging from the expression, this thing is not very tasty.

Bran Ryder frowned. The food shortages in Selaronte and Kilcoyne had already begun.This phenomenon is exacerbated by the fact that so many young people are pure consumers on the front lines.What's worse is that the remnants of the Earth Worshipers are still making waves.The soldiers on the front line still have meat floss to eat, and the ordinary people in the rear may only have flour and mushrooms, as well as a small amount of prey and fish.

"After eating, help me prepare the tactical terminal, and ask the quartermaster and the staff to prepare the results of the attack and consumption during this period. Then invite Mr. Lanigan to come. We need to analyze some situations."

"Yes!" One of the soldiers stood at attention and saluted, then wiped the flour residue from the corner of his mouth, turned his head and got out.

After a while, people arrived, and the Assyrian named Lanigan was the front-line commander of the Duke of Shire's private army.After the completion of the new army, the Duke of Shire still retained part of his private soldiers under the Queen's dispensation, but the command power was all under Bran Llad's hands.After all, Bran Ryder and the others are considered guest troops now, and they need their cooperation, and he plans to teach them what it means to fight.

As an old Assyrian military officer, Mr. Lanigan was very dissatisfied with Branley at first.You young men know what war is?Isn't it just relying on weapons to advance? Give me these weapons, and I will win the same battle.

Then Branley and Adesoya put a lot of information about rebuilding the Holy Grail Knights in front of this gentleman.The maintenance manual for photovoltaic power distribution and superconducting batteries is a full foot thick.Before taking out the tactical manual that was as thick as a stone, Mr. Lanigan had already retreated.

In the days that followed, Mr. Lanigan learned for the first time that wars are calculated mathematically.But today, Bradley still has to settle the accounts for them, and then draw a big table.

Mr. Lanigan hated forms, but he had to admit that forms were a good thing.

During this period, after comparing the number of attacks by the safari team, the material consumption and losses after the attack, the combat time and the results after each attack, the enemy's reaction time, the number of enemies blocking the attack, and the enemy's mobilization time, the layout Blue Ryder draws two curves that gradually diverge.

"Looking at the timeline, the number of our attacks is inversely proportional to the interval time, inversely proportional to the consumption, inversely proportional to the battle time, and directly proportional to the battle results. On the other hand, as the number of our attacks increases, the opponent's warning time It starts to get longer, the reaction time is longer, the battle time is reduced, and the number of attacks is also on the decline. Take a recent safari operation as an example, the opponent's battle time has dropped by almost half compared to the beginning of the safari. And our losses It is also gradually decreasing, even to the current 0 hits, I think everyone should understand what this means."

"Their combat effectiveness is declining?"

"It's not just that." Bran Led said, "Their morale is declining, or they are afraid. But we are starting to become more confident."

"And then?" Mr. Lanigan asked the most interesting question.

This kind of confrontation and see-saw is a kind of combat method of pure consumption.There are already signs of Kilcoigne's failure to persist.This is not just a matter of supplies, but also morale.When both sides are always unable to do anything to each other, war weariness will appear on both sides at the same time.

And Bran Ryder's actions further widened the morale gap between the two sides.

"Then, we need to wait."

"Wait?"

"Yes." Bran Ryder nodded, "We are waiting for a signal."

On February 2431, 2 in the Gregorian calendar of the earth, the Assyrian planet, the Nebula Continent Blackfield area.

The capital of Blackfield, the city of a thousand waterfalls is blue.

After the Blackfield riots, the NATO colonial government chose to carry out large-scale demolition and population expulsion operations in the Blackfield area, and then mobilized a large number of troops to brutally suppress the rioting uprising masses.However, the number of NATO colonists is nothing compared to the number of local Assyrians.Not to mention, the Earth Worship Cult, which was the source of intelligence for the colonists, suffered almost devastating damage.

The power of the list in Ms. Cherry's hands is obvious. A large number of NATO's hardcore followers were hanged on the street lamps. NATO's colonial rule was paralyzed, and they could only defend isolated cities in several large cities and restrict some traffic. It must be said that at this time, as long as there is a strong enough hand to push, the entire Blackfield area will collapse like a clay pot.

And Shuilan, the capital city, is the entire Blackfield area, where NATO has the most troops.

However, at the place where the most troops were stationed, in the former mansion of the Duke of Felke and now the colonial governor's office, the commissioner who was dispatched from the colonial government was receiving a guest that the colonial government governor could never have imagined.

Miss Cherry Alpenlow Felke.

"Mr. Boswall, I wonder if you have thought it through clearly. Today is the deadline, can you give me an answer?" Miss Cherry's English is very good, and there is no need for translation at all.She was sitting in the room that used to be her father's study and is now the office of the administrative commissioner, tasting black tea.From the looks of it, she seemed to be the host, and Commissioner Boswall the guest.

No, she was originally the master.

"Miss Filk, you're embarrassing me. If we leave Shuilan without firing a shot, then my political career will be over."

"I will make compensation, or more compensation than you expected." Miss Cherry put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes burning.

"Miss Felke, I know you are rich, but I'm really not short of money." Boswall shrugged his shoulders, with a mysterious smile, "I want to say, can you Give me some political compensation?"

Ms. Cherry laughed: "I know, you are a rare moderate in the NATO government, and our friendship will not change." As she spoke, she tore off a piece of paper on the table and stuffed it into the next to the incinerator.The moment it was put in, the words "Boswall" and some "dereliction of duty" appeared on the paper.At the same time, she waved to a person who had been standing behind her, and that person took out some other documents from her purse.

"I think these can allow you to return to Earth smoothly, and you can be an official in the field of medical security that you like to do with peace of mind."

After taking the papers and flipping through them, Boswall smiled brightly: "Then, please ask Ms. Cherry to help me put on a play."

"It's easy." With that said, Miss Cherry took over the personal terminal that was handed up from behind.

"Mr. Stink, you may begin."
