Chapter 196 Great Xia's actions were discovered, and the Eagle Nation made a bizarre statement.
"It's similar to the situation on land," Long Zhan continued to explain.
"We have determined that the demon race possesses extremely powerful evolutionary capabilities!"
"Some land-based military units have evolved organs adapted to the underwater environment, such as gills, webbed feet, or even the ability to hold their breath for extremely long periods of time."
Looking at those grotesque images, Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.
The adaptability and evolutionary abilities of these demons are simply terrifying!
Lin Mo frowned:
"Would this... have a huge impact on our future aircraft carrier battle groups?"
"Definitely!"
Zhao Gang picked up the conversation, his expression serious.
"Our current naval warfare system is a confrontation between nations."
"Torpedoes and depth charges are designed to deal with large, single targets such as submarines and warships."
He pulled up a concept design drawing.
It was a cross-section of a submarine, but unlike any other on Earth.
Its surface was covered with retractable turrets, which appeared to be loaded with small-caliber rapid-fire cannons and Gauss weapons.
"Faced with a saturation attack from thousands of monsters of varying sizes in the sea, our submarines and ships must be modified."
"The surface of a submarine needs to be equipped with a close-in weapon system, just like an infantry fighting vehicle on land."
"The hull of warships must also be equipped with sufficiently powerful defensive firepower to deal with attacks from the water."
Zhao Gang's words and the scene he described made Lin Mo feel a sense of absurdity.
He envisioned a bizarre scene in his mind: a submarine in the deep sea, launching torpedoes while simultaneously unleashing a barrage of machine gun fire in all directions from countless machine gun turrets.
He shook his head, trying to banish the bizarre image from his mind.
"Furthermore, according to the records of the Holy Human Race, there are also high-ranking demon creatures in the sea that have multiple tentacles and resemble octopuses."
"Not only does it possess naval combat capabilities, but it can also fight on land!"
"Our super mech project needs to be accelerated so that we have the ability to counter it."
Zhao Gang's words annoyed Lin Mo.
Forget it, let's leave these headaches to the professionals.
Time slowly passed in the Valley of Fireflies, day by day.
The seemingly eternal, eerie blue glow emanating from the portal created a dreamlike atmosphere.
One after another, ammunition boxes marked with the red word "nitrogen" were transported out of the teleportation gate and entered the metal armory, where they were piled up into small mountains of steel.
The heavy, muffled thud of the tracks grinding through the soil continued incessantly.
A long, seemingly endless steel dragon of brand-new main battle tanks and box rocket launchers drove out of the gate one after another, heading to the designated assembly area.
The size of the expeditionary force expanded quietly.
Twenty thousand, twenty-five thousand, thirty thousand...
The new soldiers all wore expressions of shock.
When they signed the confidentiality agreement, they had already made various connections and had excited discussions with their comrades.
He even had plans for killing a few Americans and getting a medal for his meritorious service.
So, you're telling me it's on another planet?
Has the nation secretly embarked on an expedition to another world?
It's supposed to be a magical world?
This unscientific!
They maintained their stiff ranks as they walked past mountains of ammunition boxes and clusters of tanks exuding a chilling aura.
Guided by the sergeant's loud voice, they all came to their senses. The initial sense of absurdity was quickly replaced by a burning emotion, and they subconsciously straightened their chests.
He became full of vigor and confidence!
Damn, our motherland is awesome!
If we manage to get back alive from this trip, our ancestral graves will be emitting auspicious smoke, and a separate page will be added to our family genealogy!
The air was thick with the pungent smells of diesel fuel, gunpowder, and otherworldly soil, which assaulted everyone's senses, and their eyes gleamed with a predatory light.
Inside the operations room.
Long Zhan rested his hands on the table, staring at the electronic sand table without saying a word.
Lin Mo stood behind him, already used to this taciturn man. He went to the window and looked at the steel torrent outside that was enough to crush everything, and felt a surge of heat in his chest.
The total strength of the expeditionary force has been expanded to 30,000.
The number of main battle tanks increased to 200, 155mm self-propelled howitzers to 150, and box rocket launchers were also expanded to 100.
Combined with their existing equipment and weapons, this force is powerful enough to dominate any medium-sized country on Earth.
Just then, the door to the command room was pushed open, and Zhao Gang strode in.
He had a strange smile on his face, as if he was helpless, or as if he wanted to laugh.
"Brother Zhao, what's with that expression?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"You'll see when you watch it." Zhao Gang walked to the tactical screen, tapped it a few times, and brought up a video.
The footage shows a press conference held by the United States.
A blonde, blue-eyed spokesperson was facing the camera, his face full of "pain" and "worry".
"...We have noticed that the Great Xia has recently conducted an unprecedented military mobilization!"
"A large number of soldiers went into hiding and their whereabouts are unknown, and even a large number of veterans were recalled."
"We express our serious concern about this."
"With the end of the world approaching, human civilization is already teetering on the brink of collapse. Any action that could escalate international tensions would be extremely irresponsible!"
The British governor, Marston, paused, spread his hands, and looked innocent.
"What we are conducting with our allies in the Arctic Circle is merely a routine joint exercise aimed at maintaining regional stability, all for the peace and stability of our planet!"
"But the Great Xia used this as an excuse to carry out a large-scale, war-level military expansion..."
"We can't help but ask, Great Xia, are you trying to provoke a war?!"
After the video finished playing, the room fell silent.
Lin Mo: "???"
He couldn't understand the logic behind those words for a moment. Was it really that bizarre?
Long Zhan stared at the speaker frozen on the screen and let out a cold laugh.
"Oh."
His tone was full of disdain.
Lin Mo found it somewhat absurd to speak.
How could they have the nerve to say such things?
"They've rallied several countries to conduct joint live-fire military exercises on our doorstep, and now they're accusing us of expanding our military to start a war?"
"Standard procedure, nothing to be surprised about." Zhao Gang turned off the video and brought up another interface.
That was a domestic online forum in the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was now completely in an uproar.
"This is hilarious! It's the funniest joke I've heard in 2027!"
"I can be flamboyant, but you can't harass me. The US's double standards remain as consistent as ever."
"To translate the US's words: I pointed a gun at you for peace. But you dared to wear a bulletproof vest? What are you trying to do! Are you trying to retaliate and start a war? It's all your fault!"
"The person upstairs is a real talent; their translation is excellent. They should come work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Seeing these sharp criticisms, Lin Mo's anger inexplicably dissipated.
"The public's reaction speaks for itself; everyone knows how ridiculous the United States is," Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"The eyes of the people are discerning."
"However, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs isn't just about protesting and condemning!"
As he spoke, he clicked on another video.
