Chapter 1,406 Winning Over

After hearing Lin Ling's reply, Jiang Chen felt very complicated.

He originally just made an irresponsible guess, but he didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

He once heard Zhao Chenwu describe the years just after the end of the nuclear war, when Wanghai City, shrouded in nuclear winter, was like a white hell. Many people escaped the persecution of the war, but they could not escape the snow. In the years before the alien species was born and the X1 bacteria was not leaked, almost half of the survivors died in the winter.

The next day, the Order arrived over the west coast.

Groups of soldiers set foot on the west coast of North America and garrisoned the empty colonies. Since yesterday, the Aurora-20 squadron has been flying frequently, cruising over the West Coast, searching for the whereabouts of the West Coast Weather Monitoring Center and searching for traces of missing colonial residents.

Along with the Hunter Tiger II tank and the lifting platform deployed on the ground, Li Wang walked up to Jiang Chen, opened the visor of his power armor helmet, and gave a clean military salute.

"Li Wang, commander of the expeditionary force and captain of the Order, is reporting to you."

"How many people came?"

"A total of two thousand soldiers have landed on the west coast, and another three thousand will arrive on the battlefield with supplies on cargo ships." Li Wang reported to Jiang Chenhui.

There are five thousand people in total. After the expansion, the NAC has an absolute advantage in military strength. Supported by the industrial capabilities of Block 6 and the other world, these five thousand people were all armed to the teeth with the K1 exoskeleton, and some elite troops had even fully equipped themselves with the new K2 exoskeleton. Even though those USN soldiers inherited NATO's military legacy, Jiang Chen still had a great chance of winning.

The only problem now is the attitude of the National Guard and the Minutemen.

If these two local forces decide to side with the USN, then between the NAC and the USN, the NAC will have to face a situation of attack from both front and back.

"We must now understand the attitude of the National Guard and the One-Minute Man. If they decide to side with the USN, then we will attack first and destroy them first." Jiang Chen said.

"Will they stand on our side?" After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Compared to the USN, we are outsiders. My suggestion is that instead of giving them time to organize, it is better not to Declare war and bomb their settlements.”

Li Wang's idea is simple.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he stood in the position of the North American survivors, he would also choose to join forces with the USN to first drive away the invaders who landed on the west coast, and then discuss the ownership of this land. There is no point in contacting them at this time, but it will make them prepared. The best option is to use the electromagnetic naval gun and Fireball-1 to fire several rounds at Liberty City and Steel City one by one, killing them directly without having to worry about which side they are on.

However, Jiang Chen's view was exactly opposite to his.

"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 United States is already a thing that has been thrown into the grave of history. They established on the West Coast They established their own settlement and established their own rules, and now someone has stood up again to claim the sovereignty of this land, saying that they will take them to revive a certain country. If it were you, what would you think?"

Think about it for a moment, if a group of survivors appeared somewhere in the north of Pan Asia, waving flags and shouting to revive the Qing Dynasty, calling on the NAC and the Southern Survivor Alliance to join them, claiming that they are the orthodoxy of this land, how many people would respond? ?

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, which had long been thrown into the historical grave for who knows how many years. The United Region under the banner of Pan-Asian was driven back to the northwest by NAC tanks. Only the mutants responded to their call, and And that's even after they promised the mutants vast tracts of land.

No matter what choice the National Guard and the leaders of the Minutemen make, Jiang Chen can be sure of one thing, they will never surrender like this.

It is very likely that people from the USN have already been in contact with them, long before Jiang Chen arrived in North America on the Sky G100.

In fact, it is very obvious, but Jiang Chen has only now fully figured it out.

Why did both the National Guard and the Minutemen begin preparations for war when the residents of NAC Outpost Town disappeared? This is definitely not to be wary of the NAC that has "withdrawn" from North America, but the USN soldiers who are about to land on the West Coast and declare sovereignty over this land.

After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at Li Wang and continued.

"You send people to Liberty City and Steel City to contact the leaders of the Minutemen 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 Angeles. .If they are willing to stand on our side and fight against the USN together, we can exempt them from tariffs worth a total of ten to two hundred thousand credits every year for the next ten years. This is very flexible. You can send someone who can talk. Go talk.”

"yes!"

After standing at attention and giving a military salute, Li Wang turned around neatly and took the order.

Although there are still doubts about whether those people will accept such an alliance, in the hierarchical military government system, the marshal's orders are absolute. Before the order is issued, everyone has the right to raise objections, but once the order is issued, there is only one thing left for him to think about.

That's how to do it.

With the alliance treaty given by Jiang Chen, the two envoys left the colonial fortress one after another, escorted by NAC soldiers. Li Wang made two preparations. While the two delegations were visiting, the electromagnetic gun at the bottom of the Order also completed loading of mass bombs.

If those North American survivors reject the covenant, then immediately launch a saturation bombing of the uncooperative forces. Before they can organize an effective defense, destroy their entire organization.

Jiang Chen acquiesced to Li Wang's second-hand preparation.

On the other side, the engineering regiments that landed on the west coast via the Order also entered the fortress one after another and began to build battlefield defenses.

On the highest point of the fort's concrete fortifications, the NAC flag was raised again. The engineers who arrived on the west coast with the Order, under the command of Zheng Shanhe, were busy deploying the electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns and land-based radars on the Order in every corner of the fortress.

The powerful combat effectiveness displayed by the F-79 has already posed a threat to NAC's air supremacy.

For other survivor forces, the Order flying in the sky may be an existence that cannot be ignored, but for the USN, which also has an air force, this big guy flying in the sky is a living target. Using airships for air defense is obviously unreliable. When air combat is at a disadvantage, NAC can rely on ground air defense firepower to make up for the Aurora-20's disadvantage in fighting for air supremacy.
