Chapter 277, Intercontinental Missile
The alliance is not just Gu Hang’s alliance, and he cannot decide everything, otherwise he will be exhausted.
And now, everyone is discussing and gradually coming up with a plan, which is the situation he hopes to see.
These people are talented and have potential.
Through the system's functions, Gu Hang selected them and used the [Hero] template to increase their growth rate to a higher level. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
The three of them discussed and came up with a result. Gu Hang took a look and found no problem, so he just executed it.
After seeing the three off, they each went about their own business. Gu Hang fell into deep thought in the office alone.
To be honest, after receiving the information from Blackbird City, he did not want to start a war directly.
All we need to do is take precautions. Initiating the Level 2 mobilization order is also a precaution.
The best situation is to keep the current situation unchanged. It would be best if Blackbird Heavy Industry did not make any moves, and Gu Hang would not take the initiative to cause trouble. As long as he waited for his mother quietly, negotiated in the star zone, and waited for the Star Realm Army to arrive, that would be the time to give Blackbird Heavy Industry a fatal blow.
For this reason, Gu Hang did not even use orbital bombing in order to avoid the Blackbird from overreacting.
But it was obvious that Blackbird didn't want to give him this chance again.
The dozen or so demon hunters made quite a stir in Blackbird City. Of course, this allowed Gu Hang to learn important information, but Blackbird Heavy Industry also knew that the truth had been revealed.
The preemptive Blackbird has begun to mobilize.
This intelligence came from the west of the continent. The Alliance has deployed a new demon hunter team and more than two hundred special intelligence personnel to the west of the continent.
Blackbird City was not easy to enter, and it was a life-threatening situation to enter. After the incident involving Elan Bird and others, the defenses would definitely be tighter. However, normally, it would be less dangerous to deploy intelligence stations in the thousands of square kilometers of land outside Blackbird City and in the peripheral settlements in the west of the continent.
It was precisely those intelligence stations that discovered that Blackbird Heavy Industries was abnormally mobilizing personnel and deploying troops.
They saw the large-scale gathering and flow of materials within the jurisdiction of Blackbird Heavy Industries; they saw the flow of personnel.
And if these were just warnings, they even saw military movements.
Drones as small as the size of a palm and as large as a car; mechanical dogs with a 360-degree rotating light firepower platform on their backs; a large number of modified human soldiers; countless Challenger tanks...
You don’t have to enter Blackbird City to see all these, you can see them outside.
Relevant information was sent back urgently one after another.
If the Blackbird moves, how can the Alliance not move?
The order given by Gu Hang was to keep the enemy out.
If the war cannot be dragged on, then fight; but it cannot be fought on the land of the alliance. If the war spreads to the central province, especially to the vicinity of Fuxing and Weixing, it will be unacceptable.
The Western Desert is a good choice for a pre-determined battlefield. It is vast and sparsely populated, with most of the land being desert. There are a few valuable oases, but they are mainly planted in underground factories, which makes it suitable for fighting without worrying about destroying the land.
It was precisely because of the movement of the Blackbird that the Alliance hastily made the decision to mobilize the army and advance westward. At least, the defense line should be pushed a thousand kilometers away and built in the desert area.
However, the form of war still came in a way that no one expected, at a faster and more unexpected speed.
…
Three days later, sitting in the office, I just called my mother again and exchanged some information about the political mediation in the star zone. I learned that the Fats family was indeed anxious and had decided to mobilize their 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion stationed in the Pegasus star zone to send a part of the Star Force that was originally to be sent to Koroga 3 to come to the Angry Owl Star.
The specific number is still under discussion, as is the method of deploying the troops. Who will bear the cost of deployment is also under discussion. How to make the Imperial Navy less sensitive is also under discussion...
Gu Hang urged, the war was about to start, Gu Hang needed the Star Army’s troops to arrive as soon as possible.
Just when he hung up the phone, Gu Hang heard a shrill alarm sounding sharply in the sky above Fuxing City.
His expression suddenly turned ugly.
The guards outside almost broke into his office.
"Governor! Level 1 alert! Our intelligence personnel have discovered missile silos in the west of the continent! Missiles have been launched towards the east!"
"When did it happen?"
"Just now! According to the time, it has been fifteen minutes since the missile was launched!"
It did not say how many missiles there were, how powerful the missiles were, where they would hit, or whether they could hit Fuxing City.
However, the alarm bells still rang loudly in Gu Hang's heart.
How could it be impossible to hit it? Otherwise, was the black bird setting off fireworks?
That is obviously impossible.
"Governor, please quickly enter the air defense..."
"No."
Gu Hang rejected the guard's request and left the office immediately. The power of psychic energy lifted him up into the air, and he looked towards the west.
He doesn't need to hide in an air-raid shelter; the missiles can't kill him.
But the residents of the alliance and the factories of the alliance cannot do that.
And after he took off, he did see a missile with a long tail flame whizzing towards him in the clear sky.
At the same time, many red lights were emitted from far away.
Some of these red beams of light came from Fuxing City, and some came from Weixing City.
No sound could be heard, but from Gu Hang's perspective, he could see that most of the missiles that cut through the clear sky were hit by the red beams in mid-air and exploded in mid-air.
He was more or less relieved.
These red beams come from the [Reflector Laser Cannon], which is essentially an anti-aircraft firepower. It has two most common uses: it can be placed on the surface for air defense and can be used for long-range anti-orbital bombardment; it can be used on starships to detonate approaching landing ships, approaching live ammunition, and to collide with energy attacks launched by enemy ships. Even if it cannot be intercepted, it can reduce the power of the enemy's energy attack.
At the beginning, Gu Hang had drawn the [Reflector] technology. The Alliance also had enough resources and pre-requisite technology to carry out large-scale production.
But in the early days, the Alliance did not have a strong demand for [Reflectors]. On the one hand, the Alliance did not have starships, so it did not need to produce hundreds of [Reflectors] on starships at every turn; the enemies the Alliance had encountered did not have any decent air forces, so naturally they did not need anti-aircraft firepower much.
Most of the Reflectors produced are castrated versions that have reduced size, power, and energy consumption, and are placed on Lion tanks to serve as main or secondary guns.
The production of the full set of [Reflector], which includes radar, interception, servo-skull computing and recognition system, and the final precision interception firepower, is really limited.
That is to say, relying on the black box, a complete set of methods must be produced once production is carried out; the mass production production line pulled out by the alliance produces very few of this complete system.
These air defense systems were mainly placed in Fuxing City and Weixing City.
And this arrangement played a huge role at this moment.
There are a total of eleven sets of [Reflector] in Fuxing City; in Weixing City, there are probably more than twenty sets in total.
The continuously emitting light beams intercepted most of the missiles in mid-air.
In the end, here in Fuxing City, only one missile actually reached the sky above the city.
But it didn't explode.
Gu Hang waved his hand, and the power of psychic energy captured it and crushed it into pieces of iron in mid-air.
But his expression was still very heavy.
It was indeed a false alarm here in Fuxing City, but...what about other places?
There is no top psychic like Gu Hang in Weixing City to provide such a final protection. Although the number of reflector systems has doubled compared to Fuxing City, can they intercept all the missiles?
The situation in Weixing City is still good, as there are at least more than twenty reflector systems; but what about other places in the alliance?
On the front line, where are the main alliance forces gathering and taking action?
But there's no use worrying now.
After making sure that there were no more missile attacks from the sky, Gu Hang slowly lowered his altitude and returned to his office.
Afterwards, relevant information gathered into his office like snowflakes.
The first thing to report on is the air defense system of Fuxing City and Weixing City.
The air defense systems of these two places detected a total of 45 missiles. Fifteen were aimed at Fuxing City, and thirty were aimed at Weixing City. Fourteen missiles were intercepted in Fuxing City, and one disappeared (it was crushed by Gu Hang); in Weixing City, twenty-nine missiles were intercepted, and one exploded in a factory, destroying a smelting production line of alloy plastic steel, killing seven people and injuring more than thirty people. All the injured have been sent to the hospital, and personnel have been arranged to repair the damaged factory.
The second piece of information came from the troops assembled on the front line.
At least fifty missiles were launched at them.
But the front-line troops also have their own anti-aircraft firepower.
Among the [fifth-generation 'Walker' series armored vehicles] that Gu Hang had drawn before, although the most produced ones are the 'Forward' armored personnel carriers and 'Wanderer' infantry fighting vehicles, this series also includes the 'Defender' series of anti-aircraft vehicles.
The Alliance has been producing related equipment, and almost every division is equipped with an air defense company or battalion.
These field anti-aircraft vehicles are equipped with live-fire anti-aircraft guns, which are not as accurate as the [Reflector] and do not have a servo skull to assist in calculations, so the efficiency of interception is greatly reduced.
But the number of anti-aircraft vehicles equipped by the field army is still sufficient.
Of the fifty missiles, thirty-eight were intercepted; for the rest, although they exploded successfully, their targets were not hit immediately in areas with the most concentrated personnel and equipment.
The specific casualty report has not yet come out, but the total should not exceed one hundred and fifty people.
At this point, Gu Hang was already feeling a little heartbroken.
But he knew that the big one was yet to come.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, two other cities in the alliance sent news.
Beigu City in Beiqinggu Province was also attacked by missiles. Ten missiles exploded in Beigu City, causing no less than 500 casualties and completely destroying a food processing plant and a food warehouse. The specific material losses have not yet been counted.
In addition, the former Garbage Town, now known as High Tower City, was also attacked. Fifteen missiles destroyed the city government of High Tower City, causing direct casualties of no less than 500 people. They also blew up a waste energy storm collection plant, causing a secondary explosion. The related secondary explosion caused 80% of the staff in that factory to lose contact, which was a scale of about 1,000 people.
Looking at the gathered information, Gu Hang's face turned so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
He did not expect that the Blackbird heavy weapon was equipped with intercontinental strike capability and could directly deliver long-range missiles and carry out accurate strikes at a distance of 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers.
Although it seems that the power of these missiles is not too great, and is even weaker than the "Scalpel" missile that Gu Hang had seen before, the incident itself is very bad.
The loss caused by these 120 intercontinental missiles is secondary. The most terrifying thing is that the alliance has exposed a weakness: it has no counter-attack capability!
The alliance doesn’t even have the means to carry out intercontinental strikes!
However, due to previous negligence, the alliance's air defense system was not well built.
The combined casualties in Gaota City and Chatan City were two thousand!
Although they are all civilians, they are all important productive forces.
Not to mention that factories and warehouses were destroyed, the losses of materials and means of production are difficult to count in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Fuxing City and Weixing City have them. Otherwise, if all the 45 missiles that hit these two cities had exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable. The population density and industrial importance of these two places are much higher than those of Beigu City and Gaota City!
What made Gu Hang even more panicked was that he didn't know how powerful the Blackbird's intercontinental missile delivery capability was.
Are these the only 120 they can deliver at once? How many ICBMs do they have in reserve? Is this a sudden, all-out attack, or just a test? Do they have any "big guys" that are far more powerful than these 120 missiles?
These unknowns made him, as a ruler, nervous.
But although he was nervous, he did not act rashly.
He immediately called the Blade Tiger.
"Brigadier General Ye Lisia, I want you to launch an all-out orbital strike on Blackbird City right away. Don't hold back!"
