The second target was Nouveau York.
Not only because it was the economic center of the UA, but also because it was the faith of all UA people. Whether it was the financial avenue that controlled the lifeline of the world economy or the woman standing on the coast holding the torch.
If the torch was taken away from her hand, it was equivalent to taking away everything of the UA.
Just as the Seventh and Eighth Orbital Airborne Brigades and the Ninth Power Armor Brigade were advancing toward the Capitol and the Pentagon, the traffic in Nouveau York, 300 kilometers away from Capital, was completely paralyzed.
In this information age, there was no news that could be hidden.
From the moment Celestial Trade's power armor appeared over Capital, the citizens of New York learned about the Seagull-class starship above their heads and the news of Celestial Trade's invasion.
All states in the UA entered a state of high alert, and New York was naturally no exception. First, the National Guard was mobilized to the forefront of the war, then the New York Police came out and blocked the main road from the military base to the city center to make way for the armored forces.
However, this task was only halfway done.
On the beach of Long Island, some tourists could still be seen.
On the horizon not far away, the bow of the Ford split the waves and slowly emerged in front of people's eyes.
Following closely behind the Ford were an anti-submarine frigate, a guided-missile destroyer, and two supply ships. Judging from the flags hanging on the mast and the planes parked on the deck of the Ford, the fleet had obviously changed owners.
Leaning on the beach chair, the British beauty in a bikini took off her sunglasses and squinted at the white waves where the sea met the sky.
"Timmy, what is that? Why do I see a lot of people running back? "
Just the day before yesterday, Lisa and her boyfriend Timmy came to this city for vacation from the UK. To be honest, they didn't know what was happening internationally. At this moment, for some reason, there were fewer and fewer people on the beach. There should be a lot of people at this time.
"I don't know, maybe the weather forecast says the weather is going to change?" The man in swimming trunks squinted at the sky and grinned. "What is that? Plane? "
It was not a plane.
It was a missile.
Just as the Ford approached the edge of New York's radar, twenty anti-ship missiles were launched from the shore defense facilities, leaving a trail of white smoke as they sped toward the Ford. The helicopters guarding on both sides of the fleet sprinkled tin foil and decoys, diverting most of the missiles to one side. As for the remaining few that slipped through the net, they were shot down by the anti-missile missiles launched by the guided-missile destroyers and Wings of Freedom.
"What do you want?" Standing in the bridge, Major Admiral Hogg nervously looked at the man in power armor standing next to him and said with a trembling voice, "That was just a warning. You can't get close to the coast of Long Island. New York's anti-ship missiles will tear you apart offshore!"
"What?" Luo Zheng smiled coldly. "Didn't you want us to return this broken ship? Aren't I sending it back to you now? "
Major General Hogg's eyes widened. He didn't know what this man meant.
Luo Zheng didn't explain. He took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it directly at the head of the Yankee who was responsible for driving the ship. The man was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
With a smirk, Luo Zheng knocked the barrel of the pistol on the back of the man's head. He ignored Major General Hogg's angry stare and ordered the man, "Full speed ahead. If you dare to slow down, I'll shoot you!"
They rushed straight to the coastline.
The Ford's actions surprised the New York shore defense force.
Just as the special police arrived at the beach of Long Island and rushed to evacuate the tourists, a string of white foam suddenly appeared two nautical miles in front of the Ford.
Without any warning, armored vehicles painted in city camouflage suddenly showed their hideous turrets and armored shells from the sea, broke through the waves that were crashing toward the coast of Changdao, and rushed toward the beach.
"AHHHH!"
The tourists on the beach let out a piercing scream.
The beauties in bikinis didn't care about their image. They swung their shiny thighs and hindering white flesh as they desperately ran to the road behind the beach. The New York SWAT and the shore defense force opened up a line of defense on the beach. However, in the face of the "Crocodile" amphibious assault vehicle that had begun to land, the line of defense was like a piece of paper as it was directly pierced by the armored spearhead.
Tatatat!
The heavy machine gun on the turret spat out flames, and the thumb-sized bullets swept across the edge of the beach, nailing the New York SWAT behind cover. The soldiers sitting behind the "Crocodile" unlocked the hook connected to the kinetic skeleton, jumped out of the vehicle with their rifles, and continued to fire while advancing toward the road under the cover of fire.
On the road not far away, the UA Army's M1A2 main station tank had been deployed with the assistance of Chinook helicopters. The engineers of the National Guard built temporary bunkers near the road and prepared to concentrate forces to fight the landing Celestial Trade.
In the hail of bullets, the armored units on both sides began to engage in close combat.
With a long tail flame, anti-tank rockets were fired from the launchers on both sides of the Crocodile armored vehicle.
A depleted uranium bomb directly hit the "Crocodile" amphibious assault vehicle in the center of the position, and its front armor was blasted open. But soon, an M1A2 main battle tank was blasted into a fireball by a Python-2 vehicle-mounted anti-tank rocket.
The battle on the beach of Long Island was in full swing. In order to block the invaders on the beach, the UA Army almost sent half of the National Guard and the First Cavalry Division stationed nearby.
The anti-ship missiles had been suppressed by the airstrikes of Wings of Freedom, and all the planes on the deck of the Ford had taken off. Even the F-35s and F-16s in the hangar were pushed to the forefront of the war. They were piloted by the "Matador" electronic pilots and participated in the ground attack.
On the sea level not far away, the anti-submarine frigate and destroyer had stopped.
The Ford aircraft carrier and the two supply ships that originally rushed straight to Long Island suddenly made a joke with everyone, turned a corner, and moved at full speed in the direction of Upper Bay. The commander of the First Cavalry Division saw this scene from the radar, and his face suddenly turned green. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and roared.
"Stop them at all costs! Stop them outside Upper Bay! "
In the middle of Upper Bay, at the junction of New Jersey and New York, was the Statue of Liberty that symbolized the UA Dream.
And behind the Statue of Liberty was Manhattan Island.
From Broadway to the East River, the street was only one-third of a mile long. It was the heart of the entire UA financial world …
