Chapter 1668 Striker
Life is always full of surprises, but if they come at the wrong time, they may turn into shocks.
Regardless of the reason, the humans of the Eastern Country got a precious opportunity to fight back directly.
Anyone who knows anything about war knows that it is best to fight on enemy territory. This is not only to protect one's own logistics and economy, but also to maintain the confidence and support of the entire military and civilians.
"No matter how bad the fighting is on the front line, no matter how many of our people die on the front line, as long as the fighting does not reach our homeland, we can just pretend we didn't see it."
Such social group consciousness, coupled with a certain degree of journalism, can be used to publicize a huge victory no matter how bad the front line is or how long the battle lasts.
Even if some people feel that something is wrong, as the closer the front line is to the homeland, and the more they fight, the fewer of their own people come back, but as long as the homeland is not in danger and important node areas are not lost, we can win in journalism.
Then, there will naturally be no problems with this war machine.
Then, this war is far from over.
Then, in the end, this war may completely destroy a country. Contrary to what many people think, setbacks and failures on a country's front line often do not end the war. Instead, it will make decision makers continue to increase their bets.
War is often an act of state, but it is also an authoritative act of decision makers and decision-making teams. Failure in war often means loss of authority and political power. To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is a king or a president, his life is tied to victory in the war. Even if he loses the future of the entire country, he cannot declare that he has lost the war.
".The East Country's decision was correct. Mercury 42 and Mercury 99 are constantly bleeding the Octopus Clan."
Mercury 99 is the latest number. It is the new world where the free fishmen restored their country, which was supported by East Country and Mercury 42.
Like Mercury 42, it is a nail inserted into the Pan-Octopus World, causing that multiverse to bleed continuously.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an, as a decision maker, read the relevant information for the first time.
Even though he was certain of his side's relative advantage in social structure, he was not happy at all. Instead, he became more aware of the gap in absolute power.
Octopus has been fighting until now, and is still served by the lords under his command. Although their mobilization rate is extremely low, although these people's fighting power and will are subtle, although their friendly forces are in trouble and their organization degree is negative, they have too much wealth.
To put it bluntly, His health bar hasn't even shown up yet, but the Earth has already reached the point of being in critical condition.
The octopus, which controls countless universes and worlds, extended its tentacles deep into the earth, causing a wave of interstellar immigrants to flee. In their eyes, the earth may have entered a countdown.
"Let me clarify, some people think the earth will be doomed if it continues like this. That's not a rumor!"
No matter what the official propaganda says that the counterattack is just around the corner and that things will get better, those who truly understand the reality of the multiverse know that the situation will only get worse.
As the anchoring of the invaded universe is completed, as they adapt more and more to the environment, and as the new generation of foreign visitors obtain "local birth certificates", the foreign invaders only need to keep piling up, and the humans, who may be several orders of magnitude behind the enemy, will sooner or later be exhausted.
This is the gap in absolute strength. Once it reaches a certain critical point, the escape of immigrants, gods, and cross-world forces will accelerate the speed of the avalanche. Eventually, it will be like countless foreign colonies, half-dead for a few hundred years, and then completely reduced to a "resource/livestock world." What will be raised and sold, I'm afraid no one wants to know.
When that time comes, except for some human empires that have fled to foreign lands, "humanity" will probably be packaged and sold as "gift boxes".
"You only get one chance, and it's the first one."
The only possibility of reversing the situation is to block the "door" when the opponent's entry into the game is unstable.
As long as the cost of entry for invaders is too high and every invader will die, they will naturally hesitate. It is not the Octopus forces that are hesitant, but the scattered lords under their command.
They have too many options to choose from. There is no need to cling to such a high-risk, low-cost world. If it really comes to that, even if the war continues, the human beings on Earth can already bear it.
On the contrary, if these great lords are allowed to take advantage and bring back enough profits and resources, they will flock in, the war will escalate and eventually the earth will be cleansed of blood.
"We know this is our only chance, but other countries cannot even protect their own safety, so how can they possibly spare the main force to participate in this counterattack?"
When the crisis in the movie came, a worldwide joint counterattack did not occur. The reality was that everyone was busy cleaning up their own mess, and at most they engaged in a war of words and sought public support.
At this time, the East Country did not expect the United Nations and other powerful countries to join forces. Invitations for joint operations had been sent out, but no one expected them to actually send reinforcements.
"Boom!"
Today, the war on the ocean is still going on, but there is the echo of a large number of airships being shot down.
The development of the situation began to exceed expectations. In fact, the East Country did underestimated others this time.
When the news of the great victory of the Eastern Kingdom spread, the major powers that still had spare strength actually realized that this was their only chance.
Then, they were moved.
This is not only an opportunity for counterattack, but also a "medal of honor" for gaining an advantage in the future post-war order. International status is partly strength and partly history. The major organs of the United Nations must be the victors of the previous world wars, and they legally have the "right to rule over the losers."
The same is true now. Any politician would say that if he did not participate in this great counter-offensive, he would not be able to participate in the reconstruction of the post-war order, which would be tantamount to voluntarily giving up his position as a world power.
"Boom!"
The explosions continued, but a large number of airships were still moving slowly forward.
Those were fleets from Citigroup, Europa and the South American Alliance. They did launch counterattacks from all directions, both for the victory of this battle and for the continuation of the "international order" of the old era.
The difference in world lines brings more crises and risks to cross-border trade, and therefore the deindustrialization of some countries is not so rapid. Although the colonization of the star domain has caused a lot of power to flow out, the overall military strength is actually stronger than that of another timeline. After all, the imaginary enemy always exists, the ineffective financial game is not played too much, and strong private companies have become an effective blessing for the armed forces when necessary.
The result of too much loose power is that although it is a helpless situation where one cannot do anything in most cases, when it is necessary, for example, now when one can make a fortune no matter how, one can inexplicably squeeze out some power.
"The reinforcements from all continents are in the midst of fierce fighting. Although the battle lines are not stable, some are indeed advancing steadily."
This is undoubtedly good news for Longyue Island, which is still moving forward.
They don't need to achieve much results, as long as they can hold back some of the troops coming to reinforce, it will be great news.
"In fact, once they start attacking, we can contain them."
"Do you mean that the other side needs to stay behind to prevent their own 'territory' from being penetrated?"
"No, what I mean is that those border lords have a plausible reason not to come to support us."
Although Lu Ping'an and the military commanders also want to focus on military affairs without involving politics, the problem is that the two things are often inseparable, and the military decisions made by many interested decision makers for their own interests must be taken into consideration.
The loose feudal system in foreign lands is the greatest advantage of mankind at present, but the price is that once suffering heavy losses and failures, it is foreseeable that everyone will take care of their own business.
".By the way, we also have to consider the situation where we try to steal the credit. For example, the first one to call back to Australia was Citibank!"
Longyue Island is already vaguely visible on the outskirts of Australia. Looking at the burning sky, Lu Ping'an feels as if he has gained something.
Citi and Europa have also made great progress in recent years. Although these astonishing number of airships suffered huge losses along the way, some of them did arrive across the sea.
And in front of Longyue Island is a classic scene of air cavalry attacking the ground.
Different from the slow-moving airships in the past, this time a large number of small and medium-sized spacecraft were taking off and landing on the open deck of the airship.
"Tsk, an airborne aircraft carrier battle group? They really figured it out."
But apparently, they didn't understand enough.
"Buzz!"
When the strange sky turned completely red, the shadow of a giant "octopus" circling the Australian continent suddenly appeared.
Countless white rays of light tore through the sky. In just a moment, countless aircraft carriers and aircraft turned into cannon fodder, and the entire world and ocean were physically burning.
"Eight Claws. The Lord of the Eight Claws with six mouths and three hearts."
