Chapter 1405 - Befriend (1/2)
Lin Lin’s reply perplexed Jiang Chen.
His original wild and irresponsible idea turned out to be true.
He once heard Zhao Chenwu describe that in the years immediately after the end of the nuclear war, the nuclear winter that shrouded Wanghai was just like a white hell. Many people escaped the war, but they failed to escape the snow. Almost half of the survivors died in winter in the years before the mutants were born and the leakage of X1 bacteria.
The next day, AS Order arrived over the West Coast.
Groups of soldiers set foot on North America and settled in an empty colony. Since yesterday, the Aurora-20 squadron had constantly lifted off to cruise over the West Coast. Their missions were to search for the whereabouts of the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center and to search for the missing colonists.
As Li Wang and the Tiger II tank on the lift platform landed on the ground, he walked to Jiang Chen. He opened the face shield on the power armor helmet and performed a clean salute.
“Li Wang, Commander of the Expeditionary Force and Captain of AS Order, reporting for duty.”
“How many people came?”
“A total of 2,000 soldiers have landed on the West Coast, and another 3,000 people will arrive subsequently in cargo ships along with supplies,” Li Wang reported.
The expanded NAC Army was at an absolute advantage with five thousand soldiers strong. Supported by the industrial capabilities of the Sixth Street and the other world, all these five thousand soldiers were armed to the teeth with the K1 kinetic skeleton, and some elite troops were even equipped with the new K2 kinetic skeleton. Even if those USN soldiers inherited NATO’s military legacy, Jiang Chen would still be in an advantageous position.
The only problem now was the attitude of the National Guard and the Minuteman.
If these two local forces decide to stand on the USN’s side, then NAC would be pressured from all angles.
“We must now figure out what National Guard and Minuteman are thinking. If they decide to stand with USN, then we will act fast and destroy them first,” Jiang Chen said.
“Will they be on our side?” Li Wang hesitated for a moment before he explained his thoughts. “Compared to USN, we are outsiders. My suggestion is that instead of giving them time to organize, it is better to just decrease the likelihood of war and bomb their settlements.”
Li Wang’s idea was very simple.
If he stood from the perspective of a survivor in North America, he would also choose to join force with USN to drive out the invaders who landed on the West Coast first and then discuss the ownership of this land. There would be no reason to contact them at this time, but rather, it would alert them. The best option was to use the electromagnetic pulse naval cannon and fireball-1 to bombard Liberty City and Steel City, directly erase them from the map, so their side selection would no longer matter.
But Jiang Chen’s opinion was completely contrary.
“But we will not interfere with them, and USN intends to rule them,” Jiang Chen looked at Li Wang and said, “For most North American survivors, America is already a term that should be in the grave of history. They have established their own settlements on the West Coast and established their own rules. Now some people have appeared to claim the sovereignty of this land, saying that they want to take them to rebuild a certain country. What would you think if you were put in that position?”
