From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

September 9th.

13: 56.

Three empty wildernesses away from Los Angeles, thick smoke billows.

The "Armored Corps" with a total of more than two hundred vehicles, each unit maintaining a distance of thirty meters or even more, is rapidly advancing towards the north.

More than half of them are military off-road vehicles, as well as wheeled or tracked armored personnel carriers.

The remaining 40% is composed of Titan main battle tanks and Killer heavy tanks that use magnetic levitation and Gaussian rail technology and are simply "land battleships".

Not just the ground.

There are also more than a hundred flying formations in the air, consisting of V-44 Red Eagles, RH-66 Falcons, Samsons and other aircraft, and their speed is on par with the ground armored formations.

But the figures of the five behemoths are particularly eye-catching.

Four are old faces, namely Dragon assault boats carrying air-to-air, air-to-ground missiles and rockets, while the other one is larger and looks more like a ghost airship——

Agile Shadow air assault craft.

The positioning of this assault craft is similar to that of the Dragon assault craft, serving as an air platform for tactical transportation, command and assault, but its technical aspects have much priority.

It is 94 meters long, 70 meters wide and 23 meters high. It can carry fully armed combatants or corresponding mechas, and can also accommodate two main battle tanks.

The hidden vertical missile launch bay can provide ground and air firepower for friendly forces.

At the same time, the fire control system is no longer interfered by Pandora's magnetic field and is equipped with the most advanced optical camouflage modules and stealth coatings.

The two nuclear fusion engines carried by "She" can enable it to break through the first cosmic speed and easily complete the single-stage entry into low-Earth orbit.

The remaining three magnetic levitation engines and two large jet engines ensure the agility and speed of the Xunying assault craft in the atmosphere.

Therefore, Xunying can also temporarily play the role of Ernie, performing high-altitude reconnaissance in low-Earth orbit, or tactical and strategic strikes. However, its orbital endurance is far less than that of the "space station" Ernie, so its positioning is different from that of Dragon Assault. Boats are similar.

At present, Atlas has only produced one experimental model, produced in the underground base of the Accra campus, which is the Xunying 001 that is participating in the raid.

...

Inside the command cabin of Xunying 001;

"Boss, the Specter fighter jet formation is in position and is dropping bombs... The bomb drop has been completed and is expected to destroy the enemy's main defense facilities in twenty-five seconds."

The observer watching the holographic screen reported the real-time situation to Sui Yang who was standing behind him.

Sui Yang only nodded lightly, without saying anything more, and browsed the content on the holographic screen with the observer.

"The main defense facilities have been dismantled, and the Phantom fighter formation is returning. It is expected to complete the replenishment before 1430. Eneo 002 has also launched twenty tactical hydrogen bombs and four strategic hydrogen bombs, and will complete the set target in fifty seconds."

As the observer's report sounded again, nothing unusual could be observed with the naked eye to the north outside the porthole, which was the direction where Minova was.

It seems calm.

But the real situation is that Minova, which is more than 70 kilometers away, has its defense system disrupted by EMP missiles launched by Phantom fighter jets.

Then the Phantom fighter formation, which had intelligence support, launched a large number of air-to-surface missiles with a maximum speed exceeding Mach 8, successfully hitting all land-based mid-course defense facilities.

This over-the-horizon operation can be said to have destroyed Minova's air defense capabilities in an instant, directly causing the UAC command level to fall into chaos. This also explains why the main force of Atlas can appear openly and openly. Above the desert.

As for the Phantom fighter, its official name is "Atlas Multirole Fighter program - Model 006".

As one of the important shareholders of General Motors and a customer of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Atlas began secretly researching fighter aircraft as early as the 1970s.

With Atlas combining the technologies of UDF and RDA, as well as the excellent testing site of Pandora, Atlas has its first mass-produced model, the AMF-006 Ghost.

As of today, a total of 14 aircraft have been produced at the Accra base.

It may not seem like much, but the Ghost has a terrifying bomb load, coupled with the ability to cruise at supersonic speeds at an altitude of 60,000 meters, which is enough to collapse Minova's defense system.

The optical camouflage module and stealth coating are basic configurations, but the Phantom fighter does not have the ability to fight in space.

now.

The observer reminded Sui Yang again: "In order to ensure that our compatriots are not affected, the enemy's effective strength will be maintained between 33% and 36%."

"Okay." Sui Yang ordered: "Notify all ministries and go to their designated areas according to the plan.

At 15:001, all air units, including Phantom , and ground artillery positions launched the first round of bombing on the enemy's active positions.

After the first round of bombing, the air transport unit immediately dropped the combatants into Minova to ensure the safety of the compatriots as much as possible.

The ground armored units advance steadily from south to north, with the primary goal of annihilating the remaining enemies. As for the special joint teams that go deep behind enemy lines, they can use them freely.

In addition, all ministries are reminded to be cautious, as although the enemy's defenses have been dismantled, their individuals are all reinforced Fallen.

Finally, if there are any special circumstances, be sure to notify me as soon as possible. "

"Yes, boss."

"Ah."

Sui Yang turned away from the observer and stepped up the steps to the cockpit located on the "second floor".

The space here is similar to that of Enio, and it is also controlled by three pilots. Then, Sui Yang habitually put his hands behind his back.

Through the portholes, you can clearly overlook Atlas's ground troops, and looking at the northern skyline, you can spot several looming mushroom clouds that are several kilometers high.

That's where Minova is.

Ernieo 002 is equipped with twenty tactical-grade metallic hydrogen bombs with a TNT yield of about 30 tons, and four strategic-grade bombs with a yield of about 300 million tons.

In fact, Atlas also possesses strategic-level weapons with greater yield, but if used, it will cause the human compatriots in Minova to be affected, such as radiation, arrogance, impact, etc., and the number of casualties will be in the tens of thousands. Calculating one hundred thousand or even one million is contrary to Sui Yang's original intention and the goal that the company and all combat personnel strive for.

...

Boom——Boom——…

The dull "thunder" sound gradually stopped, and the earth no longer shook violently.

Huh-huh-! !

But the sandstorms were still raging.

After peeking into the strange scene outside through the iron-barred window, the originally silent cell felt like a boulder hitting a calm lake, causing ripples of noise;

"Oh my God, is it the end of the world outside?"

"The end of the world? I don't think so. It's more like the aftermath of a nuclear explosion."
