MTL - Doomsday Commander

Chapter 424 The eve of the decisive battle

 By the Shenlong River, dawn breaks in the sky.

 The smoke in the city gradually dissipated.

 The Magnolia people's military operation achieved a good result.

Here is Daliao's largest city in the Northeast, Holy Spirit City.

Daliao has chosen to surrender to the Han and Tang Dynasties since its massive defeat.

 However, due to time factors, the Han and Tang Dynasties have not yet begun to fully take over.

However, the internal affairs departments of the Han and Tang Dynasties have issued orders to the Daliao people. All survivors in the northern region must gather at Holy Spirit City, where the Han and Tang Dynasties will build a large-scale survival base.

 Survivors from nearby areas came here one after another, most of them were Daliao people, there were also many Han and Tang people and some people from ethnic minorities.

More than four million survivors have gathered here, becoming an important future big city in the northern Han and Tang Dynasties.

 But Magnolia chose this place as its attack point, which many people did not expect.

 Because the Daliao people still dominate here, and not long ago, the Daliao people were even their allies.

White Magnolia's previous march did not seem to have taken this route. They suddenly turned around at night, completely blinding everyone.

The Daliao garrison here and some of the second-line troops of the Han and Tang Dynasties were unable to withstand the well-prepared Magnolia troops. Holy Spirit City was lost almost overnight.

There are not many resources here, and it is impossible for Magnolia to move four million people away. Logically speaking, conquering this place does not have much military or economic value.

 But they have another purpose.

Because there are too many people gathered in the vast area here, Magnolia's troops have an inherent advantage when they enter here, which is to use the existence of these survivors to prevent the Han and Tang Dynasties from launching nuclear weapons.

If Tang Zheng wants to unify the world, it is impossible to kill survivors on a large scale, which will turn everyone against him.

Bai Magnolia occupied Holy Spirit City to prevent Tang Zheng from launching a nuclear bomb!

This move is very vicious, and it is equivalent to directly sealing the strongest offensive weapon of the Light Chasing Army.

Emperor Jones of Magnolia does not have much confidence in his heart.

He was very worried, worried that Tang Zheng, a man who did not follow common sense, would directly destroy everything with nuclear bombs regardless of the lives of the people, and drag the four million survivors of Daliao to be buried by the Magnolia army.

But he had no other choice. The nuclear weapons of the Han and Tang Dynasties, as well as the black hole bomb, a transcendent product of the era, had frightened him to death.

 This is the only life-saving straw he can grasp. Only by using this to prevent Tang Zheng from launching nuclear weapons and then dragging the war into a conventional battle can Magnolia have a chance of winning.

During this period, the endless new weapons of the Light Chasing Army made him suspect that there was a spy within himself, so he gave Bai Yulan's weapon information to the Han and Tang Dynasties.

 But he couldn't find any evidence, so he could only use all the strength of the country to develop military power as much as possible.

As the world's most powerful country in the past, and with the support of some neighboring Western countries, Magnolia's foundation is still very strong. Today, their military strength is almost the same as at its peak, if not comparable.

Especially the air force and the army. In order to concentrate their strength, they even gave up most of the navy and concentrated their main strength on the air force and the army, striving to defeat the Han and Tang Dynasties at once on the mainland.

As long as the main force of Tang Zheng's light-seeking army can be annihilated on a large scale, Jones believes that the rule of the Han and Tang Dynasties will soon fall apart.

Those countries that were recently incorporated into the Han and Tang Dynasties had to surrender because they were afraid of the military power of the Zhuguang Army.

Once the Light-Chasing Army is defeated, their attitude will change, and they will even become the hungry wolves behind the Light-Chasing Army, ready to bite its master at any time.

He was worried and made a desperate move to deploy all his military forces to the area southeast of Daliao, northeast of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and on the banks of the Shenlong River. He then covered the survivors and prepared to fight to the death with the Light Chaser Army.

Everyone in Magnolia has the same worries as Jones, worried that Tang Zheng will continue to release nuclear bombs regardless of all costs.

 But Tang Zheng did not do this.

When a large number of light-chasing troops arrived one after another and began to confront Bai Magnolia across the river, Jones finally felt relieved.

It seems that Tang Zheng will not bury the people at the expense of others. In this case, it is for the best.

Bai Magnolia's troops decisively gave up their posture as attackers, and began to quickly build defensive offensives along the river, guarding some river bridges and pontoon bridges, and assuming an attitude of fighting a protracted war with the Light-Chasing Army.

Facing the powerful Light Chasing Army, they simply gave up their former high profile and began to play the turtle defense style.

 The supplies in the huge Holy City are enough for them to hold on for a long time.

Moreover, Magnolia’s logistics force is still in action, transporting a steady stream of supplies.

They will use Holy Spirit City as their base to engage in a protracted battle with Tang Zheng.

 All the new gadgets that were not seen in the past have now been moved out.

Huge naval guns were placed on the city walls and on riverside positions.

Each naval gun is on the same level as the city-defending cannon of the Light-Chasing City.

A tall laser tower has also been built. This is something that Magnolia puts on the bottom of the box. The powerful laser can shoot twenty kilometers, and the hit rate is almost 100%!

They had never used this kind of black technology before the end of the world, and now they couldn't care less about it for the sake of this final battle.

 A large number of fighter jets and bombers came to Holy Spirit City, the number exceeded twelve thousand!

This number is not much worse than today's Light Chasing Army. It shows that Magnolia, as the number one power, has a strong foundation and manufacturing capabilities. There is also their navy. Even though they have not vigorously developed their navy now, they still have about hundreds of warships of various types, including as many as nine aircraft carriers.

The warship followed the Great Eastern Ocean, passed through the Great Snake Sea, and went upstream from the entrance of the Shenlong River until it reached the waters near Holy Spirit City.

The flow of Shenlong River is very huge, and the passage of aircraft carriers is not a problem. Soon Magnolia's navy occupied hundreds of kilometers of water.

 Warships are a line of defense, riverside positions are a line of defense, and the walls of Holy Spirit City are also a line of defense.

 Countless anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns were set up.

Drones and helicopters are constantly patrolling the sky.

Small boats shuttle on the river, and there are many radars near the city.

Countless sentries, spies, and spies are scattered throughout the vast area nearby.

Countless landmines were laid, and logistical supplies were well prepared.

All kinds of high technologies are in action, and everyone in Magnolia is busy almost day and night.

 I thought they were worried that the Light Chasing Army would launch a sudden attack and cause them to be defeated, so all construction was done against time.

However, the actions of the Light Chasing Army seemed a bit slow. They did not take advantage of their unsteady footing to start attacking, nor did they rely on the strong combat power of their men to attack. Instead, they dispatched their troops and began their deployment unhurriedly.

 This gave Magnolia time to breathe and prepare.

 Ten days!

 For ten days, Magnolia had almost everything arranged.

 An army of five million is almost all the strength of Magnolia.

 The weapons they had in stock, as well as newly produced weapons, were all pushed to the front line.

 The local defense forces are already quite dangerous, but they can't worry about that much.

After the navy from Nanzhou Continent escaped, Bai Yulan forcefully ordered them to help Bai Yulan guard the border, which was better than nothing.

However, with the completion of the Magnolia arrangement, the direction of the world has changed slightly.

Other places were fine. Those Nanzhou troops had some confidence in Bai Magnolia and began to help them defend their territory.

From their point of view, after such a long period of preparation, if Magnolia, the world's largest country, cannot win, it can almost find a piece of tofu to kill the ball, and there is no need to fight.

Of course there is a prerequisite, that is, the Light Chasing Army does not use nuclear weapons.

Ten days later, Tang Zheng spoke on TV.

“The Light Chasing Army of the Han and Tang Empires will launch a general attack on the Magnolia troops occupying our Holy Spirit City on the other side of the Shenlong River at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”

"Residents in Holy Spirit City, please be careful not to go out at will. Stay at home and wait for news. I am here in the city and will not use weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, against Holy Spirit City. Try to avoid civilian casualties, because you are also an empire. people."

“Please also pay attention to Bai Magnolia’s soldiers and not harass the people in the city. This is not only for humanitarian reasons, but also to leave a retreat for yourselves.”

“If you harass and attack the people, I will make you regret your life!”

When Tang Zheng gave a televised speech, there was a deep chill in his teeth, and he issued a solemn warning to the people of Magnolia.

However, in the eyes of the Magnolia people, such a warning is great news.

Tang Zheng proactively promised not to use nuclear weapons, so they can sit back and relax.

 Only fighting with conventional weapons, Bai Magnolia has never been afraid of anyone.

So after Tang Zheng finished speaking, Magnolia's Emperor Jones also gave a speech on TV.

“Tang Zheng! You, a warmonger, ignore the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the people of the world, occupy countless lands, and cast a cloud of war over the whole world.”

“You promoted the new Guangyuan currency, harvested the world’s wealth, and plunged people around the world into dire straits.”

“As the world’s only superpower, Magnolia will not tolerate your behavior.”

“Now you put down your arms immediately, and we both return to the negotiating table to communicate on issues around the world. If you give up the occupied land, population and resources, the war can be avoided.”

 “Otherwise, your end will come immediately!”

"Magnolia will win! Justice will win!"

Jones, an old man with a middle-aged air, shouted on TV, filled himself with blood, and inspired a large number of fanatics.

The televised speech has reached this point, and the rest will be meaningless.

Who is right and who is wrong will be decided by war.
