Great Xia.
Southern seas.
Several carrier strike groups are already on standby.
The Lizardmen's mech forces have already landed, but several carrier battle groups are still awaiting orders.
Although they had wanted to set foot on this land countless times, they dared not.
Because the Great Xia was the only country in modern times to defeat a coalition of more than a dozen countries, including the European Union and the United States. The Great Xia in modern times never suffered a defeat.
Such a powerful country, even if it opened its doors to you right now, would you dare to attack?
Not to mention the other underlings, even the US wouldn't dare.
If they hadn't been ordered by the lizardmen, they would never have started this war; the Eastern dragons are just too powerful!
But there was no way around it; the Lizardmen had already usurped the Western world, and all nations had to obey the Illuminati, while the Illuminati had to obey the Lizardmen.
So they were forced to retreat to the South China Sea once again.
In fact, it's not just in the South China Sea; the East China Sea also has small fleets and the US aircraft carrier USS Lincoln gathered there.
This is clearly a multi-pronged approach, a complete ant-to-elephant scenario.
But an ant is an ant; how can it swallow an elephant?
Nanjing, Southern Theater Command Headquarters.
A square-faced man stared coldly at the situation before him.
His thick eyebrows were furrowed, revealing his stress and worry.
He hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
The current situation does not allow him to rest.
More than a dozen heavily armed combined arms brigades have been deployed to the south, and an aircraft carrier battle group has been set up in the east. War is imminent.
If this battle were to actually break out, it would be unprecedented in scale; calling it the Hundred Regiments Offensive wouldn't be an exaggeration!
The estimated number of combat personnel exceeds one million.
Calculating battles involving millions of units is beyond the mental capacity of most, but fortunately, this general was the descendant of a famous general and had experienced countless battles. He managed to remain calm.
"General, the southern fleet hasn't moved yet. I guess the Americans are also hesitant. Should we fight, or wait and see?"
A deputy general came over and asked, while the other generals also looked on expectantly.
The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty have never lacked backbone and courage.
Soldiers' duty is to defend their country. Now that the enemy has invaded our doorstep, how can we tolerate this?!
The general with thick eyebrows pinched his brows and asked, "How is the situation in Haining?"
The lieutenant replied, "All ten combined arms brigades went up to take them down, but the mechs are just too powerful. Since they landed, we have destroyed more than a dozen mechs, but we have also suffered heavy casualties!"
"I want an exact number!!" General Thick Eyebrows sneered.
The lieutenant paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "One combined arms brigade has been completely wiped out, and two others have lost two regiments. However, we still haven't recaptured the outskirts of Haining. The city itself is still our territory, and we can't use weapons of mass destruction, so it's a bit difficult!"
General Thick Eyebrows clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth, "Where are the civilians? Did those lizardman mechs kill any innocent civilians?"
The lieutenant shook his head. "Signals around Haining have been completely blocked. We can't get any intelligence from inside, so..."
"Damn it!!" General Thick Eyebrows slammed his fist on the table.
He desperately wanted to crush the lizardmen and the allied forces in the South China Sea. But war is not like that; once it reaches a stalemate, one becomes very passive, especially on one's own territory.
"The only good news right now is that the coalition forces in the South China Sea haven't moved. Obviously, they have their own concerns!" the vice-president continued.
At this moment, another general spoke up, "Who knows how long their concerns will last? Once the lizardmen's mech forces break through Lingnan and expand into our inland areas, those bastards will most likely kick us when we're down!"
General Thick Eyebrows nodded. This was the truth. The United States' ambition to conquer China had not died. Once it had a 100% certainty of victory, it would definitely order an attack. A few thousand mechs might not be able to do much, but if the Allied forces landed and occupied cities and important urban infrastructure, then Great Xia's situation would be dangerous.
When the fighting begins on home soil, the lizardmen and the allied forces will work together to gradually erode the territory, which will truly be like ants swallowing an elephant!
"General, give the order! Strike first, or the entire country will fall, and we will be the sinners of history!"
“That’s right, offense is the best defense. The lizardmen and Omi are in cahoots, which is unforgivable! Do you really expect them to let us off the hook?”
"A single punch can prevent a hundred punches; might makes right!"
"Our peace must be fought for by ourselves!"
"That makes sense; peace is won through fighting!"
The generals all spoke up.
At this time, the general in the field has the right to act arbitrarily. He can take action directly after reporting to Yandu.
But the general was still hesitant.
His hesitation wasn't about whether or not to fight.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head, his eyes flashing as he looked at everyone. "You know what it means for us to fire first. Once the fighting starts, there are no winners or losers, only life and death!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, but they all nodded in agreement, agreeing that the general was right.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Once war is declared, it means national ruin and family destruction. There are no winners; it's just unknown whose home or country will be destroyed in the end.
"So, General, what do you mean?" the lieutenant asked, unable to contain his doubt.
The general with thick eyebrows suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "If we're going to fight, let's fight thoroughly, until they can't breathe! I mean, use nuclear weapons!"
"What?"
Everyone was deeply moved. They thought the general was still hesitating, but they didn't expect him to be even more radical than them, using nuclear weapons right away.
“This… General, you must understand that we have principles and statements!” a lieutenant reminded him.
"What principles? What declarations? The country is gone, what rules are we talking about! Besides, if we lose this battle, do you think we still have a chance? It's a matter of life and death, it's either you die or I live. They themselves are full of hypocrisy, what are we talking about benevolence and morality?!" General Thick Eyebrows roared angrily.
As he spoke, his gaze became even more resolute. Before anyone could speak, he slammed his fist on the table, delivering a decisive statement.
"Issue my order: the East China Sea nuclear submarine fleet shall advance into the Pacific Ocean to deter the United States. Order the 58th and 59th Brigades to activate Level 1 combat readiness and, under the guise of a nuclear test, deploy the East China Sea Eagles to the southern seas!"
Eagle of the East China Sea!
Everyone was shocked, not expecting the marshal to suddenly pull such a big move.
It's important to know that the East China Sea Eagle is made of hydrogen, not atoms! Its power is a hundred times that of an atom!
"Hmph! What's wrong with us conducting nuclear tests in our own waters?"
General Thick Eyebrows said coldly, "Who told them to loiter around our doorstep when they have nothing better to do? They can loiter if they want, but they'll have to be able to withstand the storms!"
