Chapter 1467: Chapter 478: Welcome, Welcome, Warm Welcome

The depth and defense of the Pig Bay underground city district are sufficiently guaranteed.

The nuclear bombs, about 200,000 tonnes in yield, carried by hovercrafts cannot breach the fortress made of ultra-high-strength concrete below one hundred meters.

The old Chinese have abundant experience in [deep digging and stockpiling food], especially in underground works against nuclear bombs, unmatched in this field. Back in the day, they almost dug through every mountain in the north.

Now with a large array of advanced engineering equipment, they are obviously doing it even more vigorously. In half a year, they have literally carved out an industrial zone underground, enough to support the lives of tens of thousands of people, covering seven or eight square kilometers, with a depth of sixty or seventy meters. Moreover, they are continuously adding numerous steel structure frames as filling, which can be entirely called a permanent underground fortification.

To blow up such an underground city district, the nuclear bomb yield must be increased to at least 500,000 tonnes.

Moreover, due to the limited nuclear warheads carried by the European Fleet, they can only be deployed in densely gamer-populated areas, not to target regular people with nuclear bombs. Player casualties will be very high.

Of course, the losses on the surface are bound to be catastrophic, with substantial losses of machinery assets and player fatalities potentially causing Lin Miao to lose to the point of vomiting blood.

But as long as we can win this war, any loss, no matter how large, is worth it.

Over ten thousand modified bodies seized from Ye Corporation have all been stationed in the player’s resurrection area of the underground city.

Even if Europe goes crazy and cleans out surface players with nuclear bombs altogether, the next second thousands of players will likely be lining up to rush out from the underground city.

The tactics of overwhelming numbers are not terrifying.

What is terrifying is when the opponent has more people than you, superior quality than you, stronger combat capability, that no matter how hard you try, they are endless; they naturally carry experiential continuity, more terrifyingly they seem to exhibit meme pollution innately—where they run, the local herds and horses start acting up.

And regardless of whether you kill me or not, I will only grow stronger.

You think I beat your horse?

Games are delightful for players, but overly painful for the monsters and NPCs, especially those that do not resurrect.

This is why Family Joy has enough confidence to gamble with the opponent, having the nerve and stakes, pure and endless stakes printed by Lin Miao, and he wouldn’t hesitate to sell his grandfather’s land.

But the European Space Agency’s stakes are their painstakingly accumulated assets, every soldier piled up with real gold and silver at their expense, and the feeling of exchanging blows is totally different.

And the European Community missed multiple chances perfect for achieving victory.

Their army’s grasp on scenarios lags far behind the mold on the other side; aside from body prosthetics and advanced equipment, only special operations could be considered noteworthy, the rest barely measurable.

Arrogance, individual heroism, sloppy military discipline causing civilian massacres, internal bullying leading to disunity—all from small mercenary skirmishes to suppression giving them the illusion of European invincibility, only to expose their true form once facing capable opponents.

When facing player groups equipped with body prosthetics from Kangtao, Military Science, and Huang Ban, with infrastructure and vehicles provided by the Ye Corporation, Europe’s advantages were nearly wiped out, leaving only ship artillery, space-based weaponry, and surplus firepower superior to players, yet they were at a disadvantage in cyber and drone warfare.

Decapitations, assaults, reconnaissance, and guided bombings, though crucial on the battlefield, comprise only a small subset of warfare.

While all are immersed in special decapitation+security battles, unable to extricate themselves, true mass troop maneuvers aren’t even glimpsed in the cyber world or the other side of the world, only the old Chinese still understand, even then only theoretically with no real-life execution.

Until someone provided them an experimental battlefield and a group of undead soldiers to freely implement their strategic plans; though incredibly hard to manage, with wild imagination, the players consistently fulfill tactical objectives excellently.

Therefore, despite the European Alliance Army achieving advantages point-wise, expanding to lines only equates to balance, extending over the entire battlefield turns into a disadvantage.

Eventually, countless tiny elements accumulated together, forging this rotten war situation.

To stem the decline and in this month invested significant effort, the European Community not only spent money asking West Fire Grass to find countless ’sex dolls’ for troop entertainment but dared to dish out organic food and alcohol for some hearty feasts among the soldiers.

Finally rebuilding morale, preparing a counterattack, relying on space-based weaponry for advantage, nearly seeing the fruits of labor.

But then the side’s Cuban faction defected, leading the Horizon Mercenaries in an offensive, causing the entire side’s defense line to collapse—the frustration is intolerable.

The long-anticipated space-based weaponry starts appearing sparse inexplicably; initially planning for ship artillery as support worked, yet mysteriously, the ship artillery vanished, and no message could be received from commands.

If at the moment internal propaganda were to commence, eliminating the opponents’ assault over this span of days, even progressing forward quite a bit, it could well be touted as an epic victory, greatly boosting morale.

WIN

But regrettably, the wartime losses are extraordinarily large, players disperse into teams to grapple fiercely with them, moreover, the players have started engaging in bizarre operations again.
