Chapter 67 Daili Surrenders! The Insect Empire's [One Hundred Million Jade Fragments]
【In autumn, "Raging Waves" officially joined the battlefield against "Persia", and the blue faction launched Operation Torch!】
【Over 200,000 soldiers landed in the northern part of Nanzhou!】
【In May of the following year, the blue faction's Operation Torch was a complete success, and "Persia" was completely driven out of the Nanzhou region!】
【On July 5th, "Persia" engaged in a strategic decisive battle against "Former - Winter is Coming"!】
【The two sides broke out into the largest tank battle of the total war, involving a total force of 2.8 million troops, 8,000 tanks, and 5,000 aircraft!】
"Rumble—" The sound of tanks and aircraft moving was deafening!
In the viewing screen of Takuya Kojiro and the players, the area where "Former - Winter is Coming" and "Persia" began their decisive battle was covered by dense, iron-clad creations!
The vegetation in this area was ruthlessly crushed; the world was filled with nothing but rust!
This was also the moment this war of the century began!
Everyone finally understood clearly what a 'steel torrent' was!
【Terrifying! It's truly too terrifying!】
【The barrage comments say this is a strategic decisive battle between "Winter" and "Persia", meaning whoever wins this war will directly determine the factional advantage!】
【I think "Persia" has a huge advantage! After all, the strength they've shown so far is just too strong!】
【I agree too!】
【The strength "Persia" is showing in this decisive battle is definitely stronger than before! There's no way "Winter is Coming" can win!】
【Uh, based on common logic, that's true, but you've overlooked a very important point: on the other side of the blue faction, the legion led by "Raging Waves" is currently launching an attack on "Persia"!】
【This means "Persia" needs to deal with a two-front war!】
【That's not right either! "Persia" still has their ally, "Daili State"! The "Daili State" of the Tripartite Alliance should be able to hold off "Raging Waves" until this strategic decisive battle ends, right?】
【I think "Daili State" can definitely hold them off.】
【I think so too!】
【The combat power shown by the "Bug Empire" and "Persia" is especially formidable, so the "Daili State" in the Tripartite Alliance surely won't be bad!】
After the brief exchange in the live stream ended, the strategic perspective continued to play.
【"Former - Winter is Coming" and "Persia" treated this strategic decisive battle with extreme importance!】
【During the war, "Former - Winter is Coming" had a total of over 800,000 casualties or captives, while "Persia" had over 170,000 casualties or captives!】
"I told you "Winter is Coming" couldn't possibly be a match for "Persia"!"
As the good news appeared, the heavy stone hanging in Takuya Kojiro's heart eased slightly.
This stark contrast meant nothing less than that "Persia" held the advantage!
Without the support of time-limited buffs, "Former - Winter is Coming" was just a paper tiger, not even a match for "Persia" in a single engagement!
Perhaps this so-called "Former - Winter is Coming" didn't even have the qualifications to face the legion he had stationed in the northern region of the Great Wall!
Withdrawing his thoughts, Takuya Kojiro continued to focus on this great war!
【The allied forces led by "Raging Waves" successfully landed in "Daili State".】
【The threat from the rear forced the "Persia" person in charge to divert troops for defense, thereby forcing them to terminate their attack on "Former - Winter is Coming"; this decisive battle ultimately ended in failure with the withdrawal of "Persia".】
【After this battle ended, the "Ling Dong Legion" launched a large-scale offensive to reclaim their territory!】
However, the subsequent battle reports were disappointing.
"Persia" was forced to stop its offensive due to factors involving "Daili State", giving up this excellent opportunity!
"Damn it!"
"How can "Daili State" be so useless!"
"I'm not even asking you to hold off the attacks from the allied forces like "Raging Waves", can't you at least delay them for a bit longer!"
Takuya Kojiro cursed angrily.
Right now, he seemed to have forgotten his own experience of suffering a crushing defeat in the Pacific War.
However! This was not the intelligence that made Takuya Kojiro the most furious; the content presented next in the strategic perspective was what truly made his vision blur!
【On September 3rd, "Daili State" surrendered.】
Takuya Kojiro: ??? The audience in the live stream: ???
They were very confused.
Clearly, "Daili State" could still put up a fight for a while.
Yet, how did it suddenly surrender?!
【I'm confused.】
【Me too.】
【I thought the Tripartite Alliance was supposed to be equally strong, so why did "Daili State" surrender so quickly?】
【"Persia": I withdrew my troops to come back and help you defend, and you turn around and surrender? 6!】
【Well, this is great; "Persia" really has to face attacks from the northern and southern fronts by the allied forces of "Former - Winter is Coming" and "Raging Waves".】
【Having lost its absolute advantage, "Persia" is not far from failure.】
【Once "Persia" fails, the "Bug Empire" will be the enemy of the whole world! It is impossible for them to simultaneously deal with strong nations like "Great Wall Watch", "Former - Winter is Coming", "Raging Waves", and so on!】
【Holy crap! I suddenly realized that Takuya Kojiro's "Bug Empire" might very well end up fighting all of the "five permanent members" of later generations!】
【Takuya Kojiro: 6】
The surrender of "Daili State" was unexpected, to the point that "Persia", which had withdrawn its troops to defend, hadn't even reacted!
It was also at this time that the strategic perspective was still providing narration:
【In October, the "Great Wall Watch" expeditionary force once again set out to fight in neighboring countries!】
【In April of the following year, the allied forces led by "Great Wall Watch" landed in the Iron Tower State, codenamed Operation Overlord!】
At this point, Takuya Kojiro decisively paused the "Time Acceleration"!
He knew he couldn't keep watching!
This war was not a good movie; if he indulged in watching the strategic perspective of "Time Acceleration", he would sooner or later fail too!
""Persia" can barely protect itself; it's impossible for it to send troops to provide help for my "Great Wall Fall" plan anymore."
"I have to rely on myself."
"Except for some necessary areas, abandon the defense of occupied territories and send all "Bug Legion" units to "Great Wall Watch"!"
"I want to launch the largest-scale war against "Great Wall Watch"; I want to break through the communication lines of "Great Wall Watch" in one fell swoop! Severely damage this great dragon, and make it impossible for it to ever wake up!"
Takuya Kojiro issued orders to the command headquarters!
In this instant! The "Bug Empire" began operating at high speed!
Legions from various war zones were dispatched one after another to "Great Wall Watch"!
After completing this series of operations, Takuya Kojiro still felt it wasn't enough; he issued a mandatory conscription order once again, drafting the citizens within the "Bug Empire" as soldiers and sending them to the "Great Wall Watch" battlefield!
This great war was very likely the last round of fierce attacks he would launch against "Great Wall Watch"!
Whether he could sever the lifeline of the Great Wall, whether he could open up the communication lines for the "Bug Legion" at the Great Wall, and whether he could make this great dragon sleep forever—it all depended on this one time!
"The entire "Bug Empire" shall be soldiers! Whether men, women, young, or old, everyone must play their corresponding strategic role!"
"The "Bug Empire"'s "One Hundred Million Jade Fragments Plan" should be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with "Great Wall Watch"'s "Every Inch of Land, Every Inch of Blood", right!"
"I don't believe I will lose this time!"
Whether the Great Wall actively activated a buff or the "Bug Empire" passively activated a buff, it didn't matter!
What was important was that he had enough foundation to fight to the death with the Great Wall!
"Have the "Bug Army" attack south of the Great Wall fiercely for me; at all costs, break through this line for me!!"
