Chapter 797 - The Blueprint of Babel (1/2)
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
In the Country F Army command centre, senior military officers and political figures gathered, but the room was silent.
Moritz, a military adviser sent by the Freemasonry from Europe, said nothing, and the expression on his face did not reveal the thoughts in his mind. The president of Country F, Aquino IV, looked around, tightened his collar, and whispered to the a.s.sistant beside him.
“Pour a gla.s.s of water for me, thank you.”
The a.s.sistant nodded and left the room.
On the other side of the table was the newly appointed Army Marshal, Stark. He silently stared at the live broadcast of the military exercises that just ended. His fists were clinched tightly against his thighs to the point where his veins were exposed.
Celestial Trade did not keep the landing exercise a secret, but rather responded to the demand of the United Nations to disclose it to Southeast Asian countries. In Stark’s opinion, it was simply provocation… [Even if we showed you our cards, you still can’t win!]
It was Celestial Trade’s message!
“Arrogant…”
“What about urban warfare?” Moritz turned his attention to Marshal Stark. He said in a meticulous voice. “Compared with the performance of drones in landing, I’m even more worried about the performance of drones in urban warfare.”
The high maneuverability and flexibility of drones made them tailored to the city terrain! Although not quite familiar with this Hummingbird drone, Moritz immediately saw that the drone’s real stage was not on the beach but in the city!
“No,” Aquino IV shook his head to answer the question. “They only made the sensitive landing exercise public. The combat footages of urban, mountain, and jungle were not made public to the United Nations. I protested but it was useless…”
Aquino IV said in a helpless tone.
Marshal Stark looked to Moritz and hoped that the European military advisor could offer a countermeasure.
“The odds are low, but it’s not too terrible.” Moritz mused for a moment and put his knuckle against his chin. “Tactically, hitting a drone with a rifle in mid-range is not an easy task, but in close proximity, it’s possible. Fragmented grenades and rifle grenades in mid-range could still pose threats to the drones. Strategically, signal s.h.i.+elding and interfering with unmanned drones and terminals would be effective, although it may cause problems in our own communication. However, it should be able to effectively counter the drone tactics of the Celestial Trade.”
“We must make immediate adjustments to the frontline deployment. MLL Island’s counterattack plan is temporarily delayed. We need more time!”
…
As far as results were concerned, the results of the joint military exercise between Xin and Malaysia were still quite outstanding.
After seeing the powerful operational capabilities of Celestial Trade forces, Country F Army deployed to the southeast island became much more tame.
However, the newly appointed president of Country F and Army marshal obviously did not choose to back down. The Freemasonry that provided loans for the military modernization of the country had not been shaken in the slightest. The tanks and modern equipment were still sent to the island. This added more and more firewood to the already severe regional situation.
But in Jiang Chen’s opinion, even if more than 80,000 Country F Army troops were equipped with modern equipment, J the Moro regime supported by Celestial Trade would still not lose. The cards in his hand were not just the Hummingbird drones and the Aurora-20s. If Country F dared to provoke, Celestial Trade was ready to push them back into their capital!
The military exercise lasted a total of three days.
Three days later, Celestial Trade soldiers boarded a transport s.h.i.+p and set off for the port of the New Malaysian Special District.
