258: Chapter 258 Mei Ma's Strategy: The Best Strategy is to Outwit the Enemy! Actively escalating the humanitarian disaster!
"You're the idiot! Your whole family are idiots!"
"China's Exoskeleton Armor is invincible in urban street fighting. No matter how many ground troops we send as reinforcements, it's just sending them to their deaths!"
"The only effective means of attack is, and can only be, saturation bombing of that area!"
The scolded Air Force general retorted angrily.
"And the key right now isn't reinforcements, it's destroying the documents!"
"Inside the DH headquarters building, there are countless top-secret documents of our Japan hidden!"
"Most of those documents are things that absolutely cannot be known by other countries!"
"If China gets their hands on them, or even makes them public, our Japan will be completely finished!"
"If we can't use airstrikes, then use ground-based missiles!"
"No matter what, we must completely destroy those documents!"
The Air Force general spoke with certainty, trying to persuade the others.
But to his surprise, even though the pros and cons had been stated so clearly, his point of view was still attacked by many.
"You idiot!"
"Do you have any idea how huge the political impact of bombing our own capital would be?"
"We have millions of civilians in Tokyo!"
"If we really do as you say, we'll all be impeached and out of office in a few days!"
"And what makes you think that once we launch another attack, China's Exoskeleton Armor troops won't come to attack our Ministry of Defense?"
"Right now they have reservations, but by then, they won't have any!"
"That's right, it's incredibly stupid!"
"..."
Retorted by others repeatedly, the Air Force general was so angry his face turned red.
"Idiot!! Idiot!! You're all idiots!!!"
"You don't dare to do this, you don't dare to do that, so give us a solution then!"
"You can't come up with a single idea, what's the point of this meeting?"
"Might as well..."
Before the Air Force general could finish his sentence, a loud noise came from not far away.
"Biu~!! — Bang!!!"
Listening to the explosion so close by, the other high-ranking military officials were speechless.
You ask me, who do I ask? I'm desperate too!
In the face of absolute military power, all means of resistance seem like child's play!
At this moment, someone spoke up abruptly.
"General Watanabe, shall we provide reinforcements?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the head of the long conference table.
At this critical moment, only General Watanabe had the authority to make the final decision!
At the head of the table, General Watanabe, as the commander-in-chief, did not reply.
He furrowed his brows, exhausting all his military experience to think of a countermeasure.
In modern warfare, urban street fighting, known as a "meat grinder," is often the last resort.
But China's surprise attack this time didn't follow the usual path; they didn't give any warning, not even an airstrike.
They air-dropped armored soldiers directly, entering the white-hot stage of urban street fighting as soon as the battle began!
But the deadly part is...
This combat method directly struck the greatest weakness of all politicians on Blue Planet!
Just as the Air Force general said, if you want to effectively strike those iron-willed, flying, earth-escaping, agile Chinese armored soldiers in a city cluster, the only way is full-coverage saturation bombing!
However, no country's leadership can withstand the terrible repercussions of saturation bombing their own city!
Furthermore, whether saturation bombing would even be effective is just their wishful thinking based on past perceptions...
"Report!"
"Telegrams from Bancheng, Bincheng, Hucheng, and other places report that all major DH branches have fallen!"
"..."
"Report!"
"The DH headquarters guard team has been wiped out; the first and second guard teams have already been sent as reinforcements!"
"..."
"Report!"
"The first and second guard teams have been wiped out; other guard teams are waiting for orders outside the complex..."
"..."
Before they could come up with a plan, urgent reports from staff kept coming in. General Watanabe listened, feeling agitated, and finally started cursing.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!"
Why does China have such disgusting individual combat weapons and equipment? Fast mobility, high defense, strong firepower, small targets...
A small team kills their way into the city without even making a splash, and if we really want to fight them head-on, we can't even use weapons of mass destruction!
How is this any different from PVPing against someone wearing physical immunity plate armor while they cast a magic-nullification field, allowing you only to auto-attack the plate armor?
It's just purely disgusting!
Watching General Watanabe's impotent rage, the others fell into complete despair.
Just then.
"General Watanabe, there is a call from the Cabinet Office!"
Staff entered the meeting room urgently.
"You continue to study this!"
General Watanabe got up immediately.
Taking two steps in one, he went to the small inner meeting room and quickly picked up the phone.
"Prime Minister Meima, this is General Watanabe!"
Prime Minister Meima's voice came over the phone.
"General Watanabe, immediately dispatch ground troops to the Eighth District and attack the DH building at all costs!"
Upon hearing this, General Watanabe was shocked.
"Prime Minister Meima!"
"The Eighth District is densely populated with civilians, you!..."
Prime Minister Meima's voice was shrill and fast.
"General Watanabe!"
"Have you forgotten?"
"The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, followed by attacking their alliances, then their army, and the worst is to attack their cities!"
"Since we cannot attack their army and are helpless against China's military actions!"
"Then the only best strategy is to attack their strategy!"
"Although China has brazenly launched military action against our Japan this time, they have many concerns!"
"The most critical point, which I'm sure you've noticed, is that they don't seem to want to escalate the conflict!"
"Otherwise, we would already have been captured by the Chinese!"
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Meima paused, his tone becoming more firm.
"General Watanabe!"
"The strategic goal the enemy wants to achieve is the target we must destroy!"
"This time we are on the side of justice, and the international community of Blue Planet will surely stand with us!"
"This is the foundation of our strategy to attack their strategy and alliances!"
"Since the Chinese don't want to expand the negative impact of the conflict, we will actively magnify the humanitarian disaster!"
"Our rockets can deviate a bit more, our losses can be a bit more severe, and it would be best to cause some civilian casualties!"
"Don't be soft-hearted!"
"All these crimes are caused by the Chinese!"
"Only in this way can we possibly win the final victory on the diplomatic level after China's military action!"
"Do you understand?"
Listening to Prime Minister Meima's arrangements, General Watanabe's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.
"Do you understand, General Watanabe?"
After taking a deep breath, General Watanabe's gaze turned firm.
"Understood, Prime Minister Meima!"
"I will order it immediately!"
"For the Great Japanese Nation, all sacrifices are worth it!"
Prime Minister Meima comforted him.
"Yes!"
"Everything we do is for the great Japanese nation!"
"Believe me, General Watanabe!"
"It won't be long before everything turns around!"
"China is angry and embarrassed this time, launching a major offensive against our Japan!"
"Little do they know, we have already obtained what we wanted most!"
"What they will face next is the true hell on earth!"
