67: Fang Le is not alone, the bond between them is thousands of miles apart!

After Aris reported the situation to the U.S. side, he had expected to see relevant news on the international news pages, but unexpectedly, the authorities did nothing.

Aris was somewhat disappointed and somewhat understood what was going on, sighing.

Regardless, the Anti-War Army now had satellite assistance.

The intelligence capabilities of both sides were leveled to the same standard.

It would no longer be so easy to suppress the Anti-War Army further.

And in the following days, the war unfolded as Aris had predicted.

When the U.S. Military moved, the Anti-War Army might know immediately; when the Anti-War Army moved, the U.S. could also detect it.

Both sides continuously deployed troops, fighting back and forth.

In a long, circular area, both sides constantly advanced and retreated, and the same location might be repeatedly contested by both sides on the same day.

And the U.S. Military's previous reliance on its long-range artillery advantage was greatly diminished, as the source and trajectory of one's artillery fire would be detected by the opposing satellite, allowing for prevention or even counterattack.

Aris felt a sense of grievance.

Despite having a numerical and firepower advantage, the U.S. Military could only engage in a stalemate with the opponent!

Aris convened a meeting with his subordinates to discuss strategy, and a subordinate suggested that the war could be handled with a cold approach, dragging it out.

Darwin City was completely surrounded by the U.S. Military, and this was allied territory, so no one could transport supplies to the Anti-War Army.

Furthermore, the Anti-War Army had tied its own hands, advocating for harmonious coexistence between the troops and the citizens.

The Anti-War Army's ability to obtain supplies from ordinary citizens would be extremely limited.

And the war was consuming material reserves every day…

It must be said that besieging a city was a slow but sure strategy.

Once the Anti-War Army's ammunition and supplies became unsustainable, their combat effectiveness and morale would decline. If they then broke their previous agreement and plundered supplies from ordinary citizens, hmph hmph—

But this sure-win situation did not make Aris happy.

As a dignified four-star admiral, leading 100,000 fully armed soldiers of various branches to attack a city with only 10,000 defenders and not a very large area, did he really need to use a long-term attrition strategy?

But Aris could not refute this only reliable long-term solution.

He dared not fight tough battles or assault operations anymore.

Every day now, the U.S. Military had several hundred casualties.

He was already envisioning the scene of being constantly held accountable by those in power upon his return home after the war.

Aris was troubled, and on the Anti-War Army side, Fang Le was also troubled.

Although intelligence leveling had led to intertwined front lines and an overall stalemate between the two sides.

But—

Yue Hanshan reported: “Disregarding the casualties of the Mechanical Warriors, merely the daily consumption of ammunition and supplies, our People's Army can at most last for another 7 days. If we are very frugal, the maximum time is half a month.”

“However, in the latter case, our combat effectiveness will be compromised, and it will eventually affect morale.”

Fang Le did not speak.

In fact, he had anticipated this point long ago.

Therefore, before the war, he had managed to collect and purchase a batch of supplies from various places, but the quantity was not much.

If the U.S. fought a long-term war of attrition, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the Anti-War Army.

Break out?

It should be known that the U.S. Military had a total of 100,000 troops, and the total number of troops invested in the siege battle so far was probably only one-third.

Breaking out would mean facing a greater number of enemy troops.

Moreover, there would be no advantageous city terrain available outside.

Forget it, forget it.

Fight for two more days. If the U.S. Military still showed no signs of truce negotiations, then it would be time to use the trump card, materialize a large number of Mechanical Warriors, and overturn the table—

As he was just thinking this, an officer from the intelligence unit rushed over.

“Reporting, Commander, there is an important matter!”

Fang Le and the others' hearts tightened. Had there been new developments on the battlefield?

Unexpectedly, the officer added, “It’s international news.”

What international news was worth a special report?

When Fang Le and the others came before the large screen to watch, they were all stunned.

Breaking International News:

Dragon Country suddenly announced to the world that it would conduct major military exercises.

Although it was just an announcement, and there was still some time until the official exercise, it was enough to shock the whole world.

Fang Le immediately recalled that during his secret talks with Wang Jinlu, the latter had mentioned that Dragon Country would have a big move recently.

A strange thought instantly came to Fang Le.

Could it be that Dragon Country's action was to assist him?

“Go, find Mister Wang.”

Fang Le gave the order.

There were some things he had to confirm personally.
