Chapter 695
"I have only one task for you."
"Eliminate as many enemies as possible!"
After saying these words, Li Tianran directly hung up the communication with the allied forces' communications station. He turned his gaze to the miracle building below. The Boundary Tower barrier, which had been bombarded once by the laser cannon, was now slowly repairing itself, but the speed was very slow, and it was not enough to restore the barrier to its original state in a short time.
At this time, the energy of the laser cannon on the Kunlun Giant Ship was full again. Li Tianran pressed the launch button, and a beam of light fell from the sky, roaring down on the protective shield, emitting a dazzling light.
……
In the allied forces, a middle-aged general of the Federal nationality stood in the command vehicle, looking at the wave of beasts approaching his camp on the satellite map. He decisively issued orders to the officers under his command: "Let the Mechanists line up at the forefront of the battle formation to form a line of steel defense!"
"Fighter jets and armed helicopter squadrons advance forward, leave the main force's camp, and use firepower to cut off the beast tide, reducing the pressure on the Mechanists!"
"Evolutionary troops interspersed behind the Mechanists..."
The middle-aged general was named Chu Jianguo, and he was the Minister of National Defense of the Federation. In terms of position and military rank, he was half a level higher than Zhang Shoucheng and Chen Qiong, and he was the highest commander of the Federation in this allied force. The armies of the Western Xinjiang, Southern, and Eastern theater commands were all under his command.
He had very rich war experience. He was born in a military family. In the anti-aggression war before the founding of the Federation, his father and grandfather had both devoted themselves to the army, shedding their blood for the future of the Federal people.
Chu Jianguo could not predict the outcome of this war, but he was very confident.
The allied forces dispatched nearly three million troops, of which the Federation dispatched more than 700,000, which was almost 70% of the entire Federation's strength.
Since several Destruction Eras and countless wars, the population and military strength of various countries had plummeted. Now the total number of humans in the world was less than 100 million, and the population of the Federation had fallen from its peak of more than one billion to about 30 million today.
As for military strength…
After several great destructions, the humans who were able to survive in this harsh environment were all young and strong individuals with strong physiques. And in the case of such tight resources, the heads of various countries and Li Tianran would naturally not abandon these precious population resources.
All countries were actively conscripting soldiers, incorporating suitable survivors and citizens into the army, almost reaching the point where everyone was a soldier. The new regiments, reserves, city management legions, plus the troops currently in service, the total military strength of the human world now exceeded 60 million!
Sixty million, this was an extremely terrifying astronomical figure.
If all these troops were gathered together, one mouthful of saliva from each person would be enough to form a river.
But Chu Jianguo was very clear that although the number of troops looked very terrifying, in reality, among these 60 million troops, the number of troops with combat capabilities and combat experience might not even reach eight million!
More than 50 million of them were new recruits who had just joined the army for less than three months. In such a short period of time, they might not even know how to use guns and tanks, and they did not have any combat effectiveness at all, and could only serve as logistics troops at most.
Now the human world had eight million main force troops, of which three million followed Li Tianran to the desert, and five million defended the human line of defense.
Among these three million troops, the number of Evolutionary soldiers was about 200,000. They had undergone countless war trials and tribulations, and after the passage of time, they were no longer as fragile as they were when they were first born, and they had begun to gradually catch up with the footsteps of the Pioneers Legion.
With the blessing of equipment, at least they would no longer be defeated by the same number of Beast Kings!
The desert wind, with its scorching temperature, blew over the allied forces below. Heavy tanks, chariots, and other vehicles were arranged at the forefront of the team, like a mountain range of steel.
Fighter jets roared forward, dropping incendiary bombs on the beast tide ten kilometers away, starting to divide the beast tide, splitting them into small waves of small beast tides, so as not to cause a huge impact on the allied forces.
The towering fire was burning in the desert.
Chu Jianguo completed all the war plans, and in the last few minutes before the arrival of the beast tide, he put on his hat and got out of the command vehicle.
He stood in the desert, looking at the tanks and chariots around him, looking at the soldiers sitting in the drivers' seats. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a slightly immature face in front of him.
That was a young soldier, who looked very young, holding a steel knife tightly in his hand, staring at the smoky area in front of him with his comrades next to him, his tense little face full of seriousness.
"An Evolutionary soldier...is he sixteen years old?" Chu Jianguo was silent for a moment, then strode towards him and gently patted the other person's shoulder.
Whoosh!
The young soldier suddenly turned his head and saw Chu Jianguo, and saluted in a panic: "Hello, Chief!"
Chu Jianguo smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Are you nervous?"
"N...not nervous!" the young soldier stammered.
"Nervousness and fear are human instincts, there's nothing to be ashamed of..." Chu Jianguo smiled and said, "Being able to overcome it and stand here is already amazing."
Hearing Chu Jianguo's kind attitude, the young soldier seemed to relax. He scratched his head and asked uneasily, "Chief, can we...can we win this time?"
Chu Jianguo was silent.
He looked at the hope in the young soldier's eyes, as well as the confusion about the future, and was speechless for a moment.
He could not predict the outcome of this war, but...
"I don't know if we can win, but I know that this war must be fought!" Chu Jianguo took a deep breath and pointed to his surroundings with his finger: "Perhaps after this battle, many of the people standing here now will die, possibly including you, possibly including me!"
"But if this battle is not fought, our descendants and our relatives may suffer even more difficult situations than we are now!"
"We need to do something for our descendants."
"I hope our children will no longer face the threat of hunger and cold after they are born!"
"I hope our descendants will no longer suffer the danger of their homes being destroyed at any time and their relatives being killed at any time when they are born!"
"I hope that I can use our blood to exchange a peaceful and stable world for our descendants!"
"Because I know what I am fighting for, so in this war, even if death comes to me, I will smile and welcome it!"
