After hearing Lin Lin's reply, Jiang Chen's mood was very complicated.
He originally just made an irresponsible guess, but he didn't expect it to be correct.
He once heard Zhao Chenwu describe the years just after the end of the nuclear war. Wanghai, shrouded in nuclear winter, was like a white hell. Many people escaped the persecution of the war, but could not escape the snow. In the years before the mutants were born and the X1 bacteria had not been leaked, almost half of the survivors died in the winter.
The next day, AS Order arrived over the West Coast.
Hordes of soldiers set foot on the West Coast of North America and settled in the empty colonies. Since yesterday, the flight squadron composed of Aurora-20s has been frequently dispatched and cruised over the West Coast. On the one hand, they searched for the whereabouts of the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center, and on the other hand, they searched for traces of the missing colony residents.
Along with the Tiger II tank, as the lifting platform was deployed on the ground, Li Wang walked in front of Jiang Chen, opened the mask of the power armor helmet, and performed a neat military salute.
"Expeditionary Force Commander and Captain of AS Order, Li Wang, reporting."
"How many people came?"
"A total of 2,000 soldiers have landed on the West Coast, and 3,000 more will arrive on the battlefield on cargo ships with supplies," Li Wang reported to Jiang Chen.
A total of 5,000 people, the expanded NAC had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. With the support of the industrial capabilities of the Sixth Street and another world, these 5,000 people were all armed to the teeth with K1 kinetic skeletons, and some elite troops were even fully equipped with the new K2 kinetic skeleton. Even if those USN soldiers inherited the military legacy of NATO, Jiang Chen still had a high chance of winning.
The only problem now was the attitude of the National Guard and Minuteman.
If these two local forces decided to stand on the side of USN, then between NAC and USN, NAC would have to face a situation of being attacked from both the front and the back.
"We must now figure out the attitude of the National Guard and Minuteman. If they decide to stand on the side of USN, then we will strike first and destroy them," Jiang Chen said.
"Will they stand on our side?" Li Wang hesitated for a moment when he heard Jiang Chen's words. "Compared to USN, we are outsiders. My suggestion is that instead of giving them time to organize themselves, it's better to launch an undeclared war and bomb their settlement. "
Li Wang's idea was very simple.
If he were in the shoes of the North American survivors, he would also choose to unite with the USN, first drive away the invaders who landed on the West Coast, and then discuss the ownership of this land. There was no point in making contact with them at this time. Instead, it would make them more prepared. The best choice was to use electromagnetic pulse cannons and Fireball-1 to fire a few rounds at Liberty City and Steel City one by one, directly wiping them out and not having to worry about which side they were on.
But Jiang Chen's opinion was the opposite.
"But we will not interfere with them, and the USN intends to rule them." Jiang Chen looked at Li Wang and said, "For most North American survivors, the UA is already a thing thrown into the grave of history. They built their own settlement on the West Coast and established their own rules. Now, someone is standing up again to claim sovereignty over this land, saying that he wants to bring them to revive a certain country. If it were you, what would you think? "
If a group of survivors emerged from the north of Pan-Asia, waving the flag to revive the Qing Dynasty, calling on the NAC and the Southern Survivors Alliance to join them, and claiming that they were the orthodoxy of this land, how many people would respond?
Not to mention the Qing Dynasty that had been thrown into the grave of history for many years, even the Northern Alliance Area under the banner of Pan-Asia was driven back to the Northwest by NAC tanks. Only the mutated humans responded to their call, and this was under the condition that they promised the mutated humans large tracts of land.
No matter what choice the leaders of the National Guard and the Minuteman made, Jiang Chen could be sure of one thing. They would never surrender. It was very likely that the USN had already contacted them, long before Jiang Chen arrived in North America on the Aerospace G100.
In fact, it was very obvious, but Jiang Chen only now completely understood.
Why did the National Guard and the Minuteman begin to prepare for war after the residents of NAC's Outpost Town disappeared? It was definitely not to guard against the NAC that had "withdrawn" from North America, but the USN soldiers who were about to land on the West Coast and declare sovereignty over this land.
After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at Li Wang and continued.
"Send someone to Liberty City and Steel City to contact the leaders of the Minuteman and the National Guard respectively. If they are willing to remain neutral, we promise that our outpost will only retain this square kilometer of land outside Los Santos. If they are willing to stand on our side and fight against the USN together, we can waive tariffs worth a total of 100,000 to 200,000 credits per year for the next ten years. This is very flexible. You can send someone who knows how to talk. "
"Roger!"
Li Wang stood at attention and saluted. Then he turned around and left with the order.
Although he was still skeptical about whether those people would accept such an alliance, in the hierarchical military government system, the order of the General was absolute. Before the order was issued, anyone had the right to raise objections, but once the order was issued, there was only one thing left for him to think about.
That was how to execute the order.
With the alliance treaty given by Jiang Chen, the two envoys left the fortress one after another under the escort of NAC soldiers. Li Wang made two preparations. While the two teams of envoys were visiting, the electromagnetic pulse cannon at the bottom of AS Order was also loaded with bombs.
If those North American survivors refused the alliance, then they would immediately launch a saturation bombardment on the forces that did not cooperate. Before they could organize an effective defense, they had to destroy their organization first.
Jiang Chen acquiesced to Li Wang's second plan.
On the other side, the engineering corps that landed on the West Coast through AS Order also stationed in the fortress and began to build fortifications on the battlefield.
At the highest point of the concrete fortifications of the fortress, the NAC flag was raised again. The engineers who arrived on the West Coast with AS Order, under the command of Zheng Shanhe, were busy deploying the electromagnetic anti-aircraft cannons and land-based radars on AS Order to all corners of the fortress.
The powerful combat power displayed by the F-79 had already posed a threat to NAC's air supremacy.
For other survivor forces, AS Order flying in the sky may be an unbeatable existence, but for the USN, which also had an air force, this big guy flying in the sky was a living target. Using airships for air defense was obviously unreliable. In the case of air combat disadvantage, NAC could hope to rely on ground air defense firepower to make up for the disadvantage of the Aurora-20 in air supremacy.
