Chapter 1,152 War and Peace

A sudden rise of smoke covered the entire land. Rows of rockets roared into the sky, covering the open space in the distance. The explosion flames engulfed a target.

The dust from the explosion swept across the battlefield, and with a deafening roar, the soldiers stood up from the bunker with their rifles in hand, followed the tanks and armored bodies that began to accelerate, and charged towards the black smoke-filled battlefield...

Looking at the billowing dust in the distance, the representatives of various forces sitting in the spectator seats had different expressions.

The representatives of the joint command area looked disdainful. They inherited the pre-war equipment and tactical thinking and were not afraid of this simple and crude fire coverage. There was only one thing that caught their eye in the entire NAC, and that was particles that could penetrate the Prowler tank. gun.

Representatives of the Southern Survivors Alliance looked earth-colored, looking left and right, or whispering to each other. In the face of such terrifying firepower, they didn't even have the confidence to survive one round. Even if the survivors in the entire south were twisted into a rope, they would probably be nothing more than a rope in front of the NAC's front...

Jiang Chen turned around and looked at the earth-colored envoys from the southern survivor colony, and said with a smile.

"How is the NAC military strength?"

Except for the envoys from the United Unified District who glanced disdainfully at the corners of their mouths, the envoys from the settlements offered sincere words of praise, expressing their willingness to forever be friends with NAC and jointly protect this hard-won peace...

Military exercises like this are held every half a year or so.

On the one hand, it is to enhance the presence of Jiang Chen, the marshal who has never seen the dragon before it is seen. On the other hand, it is to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. On the other hand, it can also consume the excess weapons inventory. Finally, it can also deter the small survivors around the NAC who are ready to move. This power can be said to kill four birds with one stone.

nac is so rich that it would not be an exaggeration to call him extremely rich.

The three Gardens of Eden almost monopolize the grain trade in half of the Pan-Asian region, and their inexhaustible iron, aluminum, and rare earths are even more enviable. The industrialized Sixth District transports tons of industrial products to surrounding survivor settlements, and uses trade to plunder the sub-crystals, resources, and even population and land of other survivor settlements...

To ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, it is not enough to rely on caravan guards. Only by pulling representatives of local forces over from time to time to show off their muscles can they know who is the overlord of this land.

In the distance, the Hunter Tiger II had already rushed through the black smoke-filled battlefield. The soldiers maintained the rhythm of alternating fire and advanced toward the target area under the cover of machine gun fire. Soon, the NAC flag was raised in the center of the battlefield several kilometers away.

So far,

The entire military exercise has come to an end...

The already impatient representative of the joint unified district snorted, stood up and left unceremoniously. Representatives from other survivor settlements breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to Jiang Chen with smiles on their faces, and left in a hurry.

"How is it? The combat effectiveness of our First Division is not bad."

Walking to Jiang Chen's side, Cheng Weiguo said with a hearty smile.

"Very good," Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, looking at the black smoke gradually dissipating in the distance. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly sighed with emotion, "It just feels like something is missing."

Cheng Weiguo was stunned for a moment, frowned and pondered for a long time, but he could not understand the deep meaning of the marshal's words.

In the distance, soldiers have gathered in formation, boarded trucks one by one, and withdrawn from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

Han Junhua summarized the tactics that are most suitable for NAC. The tactics that used to throw out firepower and swarm infantry and armor have been completely replaced by the orderly coordination tactics of infantry and tanks. However, looking at the black smoke that gradually dissipated, Jiang Chen always felt that something was missing.

What exactly is it?

Not only did Cheng Weiguo fail to understand the deep meaning of his words, but Jiang Chen himself also failed to fully understand it.

Perhaps because he can escape from this world at any time, he always looks at the world's problems from an outsider's perspective, so in some places he is more sensitive than the indigenous people of this world.

Of course, it might just be his illusion.

At this moment, Lu Minghui, the bishop of the Gravekeeper Sect, who had left the meeting with representatives of various forces, came over with a solemn expression.

Noticing his approach, the guard behind Jiang Chen took a half step forward and raised his right hand to signal him to stop.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen turned around and raised his hand to signal to the guard not to be nervous. He looked at him and said with a pleasant face, "Mr. Bishop."

Lu Minghui lowered his head and whispered, "May I ask Mr. Marshal, is our covenant still valid?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at him doubtfully, "Of course...what do you mean?"

Facing Jiang Chen's confused expression, Lu Minghui smiled bitterly.

"It's a long story..."

…

It’s a long story indeed.

It took half an hour for the leader to explain clearly to Jiang Chen the whole story.

Here's the thing.

A tank formation appeared in the north of Shangjing City, and without a word captured the... military outpost established by the Shangjing Survivor Alliance in Badaling? The local survivor forces immediately organized a coalition to fight against it, but they were no match for the torrent of armor.

As one of the survivor forces based in Beijing City, the Gravekeeper Sect naturally sent people to join the coalition, but the results were obvious. If they had won, Lu Minghui wouldn't have come to Jiang Chen for help.

It took Jiang Chen a while to digest the amount of information in the leader's words.

If you unfold the pre-war world map, no matter how you look at it, the border between the Soviet Union and Pan-Asian Cooperation is hundreds of kilometers away from Shangjing City.

Hasn’t the world government already rolled off the earth? What is this tank? Why are you guys suddenly interested in pan-Asian cooperation?

However, these issues are not the focus.

The point is, will NAC go north to support?

There was no immediate reply to Lu Minghui. After returning to the Fish Bone Base, Jiang Chen immediately summoned the top brass of the military government for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

As for whether to send troops, the top brass of the military government were divided into two groups.

One faction supports sending troops, while the other faction naturally opposes...

"...nac needs time to recuperate, not to mention that the nuclear winter is intensifying, and the northern territory is meaningless to us. Our covenant with the Gravekeeper Sect only promised to allow them to keep a small area in Wanghai City after the Holy Shield is restored. The autonomous region is here to cultivate and recuperate, and has nothing to do with the offensive and defensive alliance." After a pause, Chu Nan continued, "I suggest that instead of sending troops to support, it is better to fulfill the promise in advance and help them move south."

"Alien species and zombie waves can block flesh and blood, but they cannot block tank tracks. If they are coming for us, there is no point in choosing appeasement at this time." Han Junhua said lightly, "The best choice at this time is to Tanks are blocking the area around Shangjing City to prevent them from continuing southward."

"Please pay attention to your identity," Chu Nan glanced at Han Junhua and said in a rather critical tone, "I remember that Staff Officer Han is a staff officer of NAC, not a staff officer of Pan-Asian Cooperation."

"I am making suggestions from the standpoint of NAC. Of course, I am just a consultant. As for how to make a decision..." Han Junhua said without taking Chu Nan's words to heart, expressionlessly, and looked at Jiang Chen, " Let the marshal decide."

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for Jiang Chen's answer.

The military government is a dictatorship. There is no life vote and democracy here. All soldiers are only loyal to the same great being, that is, the marshal of the NAC.

No matter what the final outcome of the meeting is, no matter which way the balance of interests tilts.

War or peace is all decided by him. (To be continued.)
