Chapter 1,474 Above the Statue of Liberty, the Flag of the New Country Is Flying

Looking back on that day many years later, Luo Zheng still feels overwhelmed with emotion.

That was definitely the craziest thing he had ever done in his life.

Landing on Liberty Island by helicopter, the Halo Marines climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty and used thermite to blast the copper flames on the torch. The fire of freedom lighting up the East Coast was extinguished, replaced by a flag belonging to a new nation, flapping in the sea breeze blowing over Manhattan Island.

Looking at the crowds fleeing in Battery Park and the traffic jamming on the Brooklyn Bridge, Luo Zheng put one foot on the control terminal of the bridge and raised his rifle to shoot at the windows of the bridge.

"Go forward! Go forward! Top speed! Hit me!"

Major General Hogg was already squatting under the table, holding his head and roaring almost desperately in his heart.

This guy is crazy!

Maintaining its top speed, the Ford's bow was like a big knife cutting through a bamboo pole, crushing the protective fence of Battery Park and directly hitting the Manhattan Peninsula. The violent impact caused the sailor who was driving the ship to fall headlong into the console and roll out to the side.

Luo Zheng, who was wearing power armor, shook his body. He stretched out his powerful steel arms and shattered the bulletproof glass of the bridge with one punch. He grabbed the twisted steel bars and jumped out from the bridge, landing heavily on the deck. .

Giggle-cluck——

The steel cracked with a heartbreaking sound.

The Ford hit Manhattan Island and broke into two pieces. The second half stayed in Battery Park, while the first half ran rampant under the influence of inertia, rushing through the National Archives in New York, crashing into the streets of Broadway, and knocking down the Wall Street copper bull...

"ah--!"

"Run!"

"Don't push me! Let me pass-"

The people gathered here at the New York Stock Exchange seemed to be going crazy, trying desperately to escape from here. Whether you are a professional trader, the CEO of a listed company, or a financial tycoon with billions of dollars, everyone is the same at this moment.

Star Ring Trade chose to land on Manhattan Island, and all of them were pushed to the forefront of the war.

Although they have had a share in all the wars that have occurred in this world since World War I, they have never thought about this day.

"These barbarians! How dare they, how dare they..." Standing in the middle of the stock exchange hall, a man in a suit and leather shoes stared blankly at the door. Occasionally, someone running by bumped into his shoulder, and he also It just shakes and doesn't react.

Behind him was the plummeting Dow Jones Index and the red stock price.

It started when Wyoming exploded. He tried to save it. He used banknotes to stabilize the panic of investors, quietly sold the chips in his hands, and tried his best to withdraw funds from the stock market... However, all his efforts could not stop him. An aircraft carrier that hit Manhattan Island.

Just a minute ago, he was broke.

…

There is no need for any landing ship at all.

This level of impact resistance is nothing more than child's play for the Star Ring Trade Soldiers who are capable of orbital airdrops.

From the middle of the broken aircraft carrier, Viper drones poured out, forming an arrow-shaped attack formation and pounced on the New York National Guard who rushed in for support. In the bustling neighborhoods of Manhattan and the high-ranking people on the streets, a cavalry battalion of 155mm self-propelled howitzers (72 guns) and M270 multiple rocket launchers did not dare to mess up even if they could effectively suppress the strategic depth of 30 kilometers. After firing one shot, they had to send out highly mobile armor such as the M3 cavalry fighting vehicle to coordinate with the M1A2 main battle tank to launch a hard attack.

Soon, however, they encountered the real opponent of this war.

Those who landed in Manhattan were the main force of Star Ring Trade, and those who landed on Long Island were just a feint attack by amphibious light armor.

What followed the landing of the Viper drone was not the crispy Alligator amphibious assault vehicle, but the Prowler tank, the land hegemon a century later and the crystallization of Pan-Asian civilization’s army technology.

A particle cannon flew out of the smoke of the explosion,

It directly melted through the front armor that the M1A2 was proud of. No matter what high-hard ceramic lining or depleted uranium alloy armor, they are as fragile as tofu in the face of high-energy particles liberated from magnetic constraints. The high-energy particles that penetrated the front armor instantly spread behind the armor, directly raising the temperature inside the vehicle to thousands of degrees. Even if the tank didn't explode immediately, the crew inside would still be dead.

"Warrior-1 was destroyed... hit the target... Shet! How is this possible!" The gunner, who was sitting in an M1A2 main battle tank and pressing the firing button, looked at the smoke spreading in front of him and stared in disbelief. eyes.

What was happening in front of him was beyond his common sense.

He saw with his own eyes that at least five depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds focused fire on the tank he was targeting. However, a burst of dust dispersed, and the tank still stood there unscathed.

The barrel of the gun was pointed right at him, as if mocking their incompetence.

If you want to abolish the Meissner effect armor of the Prowler, you will need at least a tactical nuclear bomb with an equivalent of tens of thousands of tons, if not a particle cannon.

boom--!

Another particle cannon flew, this time hitting the ammunition rack, directly sending the top cover of an M1A2 up to an altitude of more than ten meters.

Just two tanks almost suppressed the entire tank battalion.

Behind the two Prowler tanks, driving out from the broken hull was a reinforced battalion composed of thirty-one Jagdtiger IIs and twelve Spider tanks. The former's Type 50 electromagnetic gun is a well-deserved tank killer when facing armored units, while the latter's mobility "over mountains and ridges" in the city will give even flexible infantry a headache.

The heavy armor penetrated the tank battalion of a US cavalry division from the front. Soldiers wearing exoskeletons and power armor quickly advanced towards the streets of Manhattan. More than two divisions of troops relied on the Ford and two supply ships to storm the beach and land directly on Manhattan Island.

A wave of troops went directly to the Long Island beach where the amphibious forces were fighting fiercely at JFK International Airport, encircling and annihilating the US Army's first cavalry division and the New York State National Guard's coastal defense forces, paving the way for subsequent troops to land. The other wave traversed the most prosperous neighborhoods in New York City, occupying all of Manhattan and heading directly towards Jersey City, New Jersey on the other side.

According to Air Force intelligence, all the support firepower of the First Cavalry Division was concentrated there.

Not only that, but the New Jersey National Guard.

…

Departing from the Tumako District, boarding the ship from the Port of Porto, and crossing the Caribbean Sea and Bermuda, the 20,000-strong Star Ring Army landed on the coast of New York City in a manner that surprised the US military. At this time, General Felton, who was responsible for commanding the NATO coalition forces, finally understood.

From the beginning, Star Ring Trade has focused on the United States.

He blew up the Monteria Highway on his own initiative, but he didn't know that they didn't even look at Monteria. Perhaps only he knew the feeling of frustration.

Counting the subsequent reinforcements arriving, more than 150,000 US soldiers were trapped in the quagmire of Colombia.

Before this war is completely over, they will never be able to receive reinforcements, and they will never be able to return from Colombia to defend the United States and join their comrades defending the homeland.

Just as Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty fell, the battle in Washington was gradually coming to an end.

Before the land battle was decided, the outcome in the air had gradually become clear.

Squadron after squadron of F-22s turned into falling fireballs in the Wings of Liberty game of catching chickens. Subsequently, the Orbital Airborne Brigade and the Powered Armor Brigade, with the support of air power, quickly penetrated the US military's defense line.

At the top of the Lincoln Memorial, the flag of the new nation was planted.

With the collapse of this defense line, there is no longer any danger to defend from the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the White House.

Following the defeat of the District of Columbia National Guard, the 7th Orbital Airborne Brigade moved all the way towards the White House, finally burning the war into the back garden of the President of the United States...
