Chapter 88 PPDC Request
In the past, the single chrysanthemum beasts appeared in a single chrysanthemum beast that could fly, and the first time the "tailed rat" with flying ability appeared was at an important moment. This time there were three, the next time there were four, and it didn't take three times. The last remaining mechas of humans would be completely destroyed, and humans would be completely defeated.
As for the so-called coastal wall?
The coastal wall is equivalent to a shrinking version of the passive defense plan. The funds required are n times less than the mecha, but you get what you pay for. The price is cheaper. Obviously, don’t expect the coastal wall to be useful. Even ordinary chrysanthemum beasts can easily break through the coastal wall. So what about chrysanthemum beasts with flying ability? They don’t even need time to break through, just fly over, at most they are flapping their wings.
People are scared and afraid.
Pantcoster had no doubt that if he reported this news to governments, the abandoned mecha plan would be launched soon, but it was obvious that humans had no time to react.
It takes at least one year to manufacture a mecha, and now there are three monsters, which do not take a year. At most, two more waves will come in half a month, or just one wave. The remaining mechas that humans have left will be completely killed, and the last layer of defense that humans use to resist the chrysanthemum beast will be torn apart.
"Gentlemen, that chrysanthemum must hold it up! You can't let it enter the city!" Pantcoster's voice was very serious.
I didn't say which one was, because everyone knew it, and I didn't say what the price was paid, because this order was to do anything.
"yes."
The mecha drivers on the battlefield were not fools. They instantly understood what Pantcoster meant, looked at each other, and understood that this was a strict order.
The damage caused by a huge flying chrysanthemum beast invades the inland can be imagined, far exceeding the preparations made by governments in coastal cities.
Most of the main forces in defending the Kaiju beast in various countries are deployed in coastal areas. Once the Kaiju beast bypasses the coastal cities and goes straight to the inland, the defense forces arranged in the coastal cities will be like the bypassed Maginot line and lose their original role.
People don’t fight you head-on. They break through the air directly. This method of not playing cards according to common sense makes people have no place to make a fuss. At least no one dares to reason with the Kaiju Beast, causing others to retreat three feet, or simply don’t use the air force, and everyone happily uses hand-to-hand combat to decide the outcome.
Of course, humans are not completely without the power to resist. The army and the air force can still play a role. But it is obvious that the losses and consumption of this approach are far more than the funds required by the mecha plan, and the effect may not be effective.
Facing the flying chrysanthemum beast, you can only kill the opponent unless you shoot down the opponent before flying, or if the humans develop a corresponding mecha with flying ability.
If conventional methods still fail to work, then some unconventional methods must be used, such as... Both sides suffer losses.
At this moment, the tail erect mouse was in a state of just taking off. The height was only more than 100 meters, and it did not fly directly to the stratosphere in the movie. At least a few thousand meters, under such circumstances, only air defense missiles could kill the opponent.
“gogogo!”
Zhang Yang could vaguely hear the sound from other channels from the control center, as if the air defense forces at the Hong Kong base were ready to be dispatched.
Because governments have stopped the subsequent injection of funds, the other six major bases in the world have been closed, leaving only the Hong Kong base as the last line of defense. The Hong Kong base still retains an air force and is organized into the First Regiment. The black colonel who brought Zhang Yang and Thomas to the Hong Kong base is affiliated with the First Regiment.
"Orange Guard State!"
The base in Hong Kong was in a state of chaos. The base army, which had no missions because the mecha was dispatched, immediately received a combat order.
Several helicopters immediately took off in the base, and several fighter jets were pushed out in the brand new hangar at the XX military and civilian mixed airport in Hong Kong.
A flying chrysanthemum beast is amazing.
Everyone subconsciously tightened their nerves, especially when facing opponents like Kaiju Beast, the navy could not come in handy at all. They didn't even need monster attacks in the sea. The huge waves raised by the monsters could overturn ordinary ships.
The Army is not very useful, but after the monster lands in the city, it can still do something. The only thing that can help is probably the Air Force.
Because there is no dedicated runway in the base, only helicopter take-off and landing apron was built, and only fighter jets with vertical take-off and landing capabilities are preserved in the base, such as the F-35b. These are sponsored by the United States, but the number is not large. In order to meet the needs of cooperative combat, some were expanded and the locations for storing fighters were added, including the J-10, J-20, etc. of China.
After more than ten years, the J-20 has adapted and has begun to gradually equip the troops. However, the J-10 is still one of the equipment forces of the Air Force and has not been completely eliminated. However, in Hong Kong, there are not many combat tasks in normal times, and once there is a battle, you must fight to the death. Considering the cost issue, the main force is still the J-10, and the J-20 exists as a reserve force.
"Wait, the battle order is cancelled, all aircraft are temporarily placed in the warehouse, and the pilots are on standby in the shelter."
However, before these fighters were refueled and ready to take off, they received the notice above that the mission was cancelled and the fighter was re-entered. When an unknown pilot inquired, it seemed that an American aircraft carrier was nearby and took the initiative to undertake the support mission.
"Cancel the order? What's going on?" A pilot on the J-20 frowned and pushed away the cockpit cover.
"Look, it was the order from the superior. The Americans forwarded the support request through ppdc, and the superior agreed."
The explanation from the tower staff came from the headphones.
"Is it because I am worried about the cost issue, so I asked the Americans to help?"
"I don't know, the above should have his own considerations."
"Okay, execute the command."
Although he was unwilling to accept his orders, the pilots could only obey orders. Faced with the battle of Kaiju Beast, it was almost a life-and-death task. Although no one would become a deserter because of fear of death, the Americans were just helping him voluntarily. After considering it, the superiors obviously had their own plans and agreed to the Americans' request.
On the west coast of the Pacific, an American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the Solomon, has approached the coast of China in the night.
"Is there any news?"
A colonel in naval costume asked after a glance at the lights on the deck.
"Col. The Chinese military has temporarily opened coastal airspace through our support application and allowed our fighter jets to enter. It cannot exceed the range of the designated route. The flight range is limited to 30 kilometers inland coastal areas. If it exceeds this range, it needs to declare."
A technician quickly printed out a report and handed it to the colonel.
"Ok, let the plane take off."
The colonel took it and took a look. There was a clear order written on it. It was the result of the "Solomon"'s response to the Chinese military's initiative to provide air support. After ppdc mediation, the Chinese military quickly issued an instruction and passed.
As a land of China, the Chinese military originally planned to provide support. No matter what, it had to intercept the Kaiju Beast in the coastal position and not allow it to enter the inland and destroy it. However, ppdc suddenly intervened and mentioned that the Americans originally intended to help, the Chinese military agreed after considering it.
In recent years, China and Americans have cooperated a lot in this regard. After all, invasion of the chrysanthemum beast is not a trivial matter. There is no need to spend their own money and people in order to save face and vanity. During the Tokyo incident, the Japanese suffered a great loss of not being repaired by the base and directly used their lives to buy time for the mecha startup.
As early as when the monster appeared before, considering that there might be an accident, Pantcost mobilized a US aircraft carrier in the name of ppdc and was on standby outside the coast of China, but it really came in handy at this moment.
When I learned that the flying beast appeared, the first one who felt something was wrong was still the United States.
After obtaining the permission of the Chinese military and temporarily opening airspace to the "Solomon", the fighter jets on the Solomon have taken off one after another. Although it was at night, with the joint guidance of the Chinese military, the pilots only need to stare at the display in front of them and can set off.
They have trained the training of night flight and are already familiar with it. F-18 bumblebee and F-35 carrier-based aircraft take off on the steam catapult and quickly sink into the night.
Because it only takes 2 minutes for the fighter to arrive at the battlefield at full speed, and the base's armed forces temporarily held back in these two minutes. After all, there is still mecha there, and maybe things are not as bad as everyone imagined.
This time, the Americans didn't have so many twists and turns. They were all because of the sense of crisis caused by the emergence of the new chrysanthemum beast. Coupled with the request from ppdc, their aircraft carrier was not near the combat waters, so the Chinese military did not make any more troubles, but relaxed their authority to the other party.
However, the Chinese military has always been accustomed to making preparations. Since American fighter jets have arrived, the fighter jets from the Hong Kong base can be temporarily placed in the underground hangar for storage, and pilots have also entered temporary shelters to standby. Several airports closest to Hong Kong, including Macau, have already entered the standby state, and only one order is required to take off at any time.
