Chapter 450: Full of Confidence
A comparison of two completely different popular live broadcast images appeared in front of netizens who were following Umbrella.
On one side, the entrance of Umbrella 4S store was bustling with customers.
On the other side, the Gallic Foreign Legion was mobilized before the war and ready to go.
And this involves the same company !
If you only look at the popularity in front of the 4S store, there is also the promotional video produced by Umbrella about "Tracker".
No one could have imagined that this company would have to face the African emperor, Gaul, one of the five overlords of Blue Star!
Yes, Gaul and Umbrella had been at odds with each other before, and both were very angry.
But after Umbrella beat up Kangaroos, Da Piaoliang did not come out to support his lackeys. Many popular science accounts have demonstrated the deterrent power of Umbrella.
Hypersonic stealth high-explosive missiles are something that will give everyone a headache.
Da Piaoliang has a lot of bottles and jars at home, so she has no intention of showing off.
In the subconscious of most people, Da Piaoliang did not resort to violence and was later slapped repeatedly by Umbrella. Gaul would just yell a few words, but how could he dare to really take action?
After all, for ordinary people, it is obviously impossible to get news about the troop movements in Gaul.
Many forces know that there will be a war between Gaul and Umbrella, but it is too abrupt for the general public.
Didn’t Umbrella just say it had started selling cars?
Why did it suddenly become like this?
Subsequently, some popular science videos also took the opportunity to attract traffic.
Although they didn't know when Gaul mobilized the army, after things had happened and they began to work backwards, they could still clearly understand the situation after the event based on the information they already had.
"From Gaulish coffee to raw materials for nuclear power plants, many products and resources come from Africa."
"Whether Africa is in chaos or not, Gaul has the final say. Don't underestimate this core country of the EU."
"Haven't we always been laughing at the fact that Gaul is becoming evil? In fact, this is also caused by them lying in Africa sucking blood for too long."
"You don't know until you see it. Gaul has intervened militarily in Africa more than 20 times in the past half century. In terms of military operations in Africa alone, Gaul is far superior to Dameiliang."
“…”
As some data were gradually dug out, many people discovered that Gaul's influence in Africa was actually so great.
It was even bigger than expected.
It’s just that all along, most people who care about these things are probably just paying attention to Da Piaoliang, and some things are not reported specifically, so they haven’t reacted much.
"It's normal that everyone doesn't know, because we have already surpassed Gaul a long time ago. Given the personalities of most of us, as long as they don't jump out to provoke us after we've surpassed them, they will most likely just stare at the ones ahead."
"At the beginning of this century, in our eyes, European countries were all developed countries, with Japan and South Korea next to them, and their marketing texts were everywhere, flushing toilets, picking up garbage, and Prussian engineers buried next to water pipes...
"But now, the ones we are benchmarking against are already the best in the world in all aspects. Most of them are Da Piaoliang, and the rest are the capital used by every other developed country to make a living."
“…”
After seeing these comments, many people gradually reacted.
is that so?
It seems to be true...
Once upon a time, even Gaul and Britain were full of yearning and various filters in the minds of many people in China.
Nowadays, it is rarely discussed...
Now when people mention Gaul, everyone thinks "no one can occupy Paris before Gaul surrenders", which is the shame of the Five Permanent Members. The food in Gaul is not bad, and there are many luxury goods.
But no matter what, this is still one of the five permanent members!
After reading some popular science about Gaul's influence on Africa and knowing that the great Gauls would give way here, everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that Gaul was serious about what he said before!
Even though Umbrella knew that it had crossed Gaul's reverse scale and red line, it still went ahead and attacked!
This mineral related to magic is probably more you can imagine!
"Perhaps, this isn't just about the magic mine. Gaul also wants to prove through this action that they still have the final say in Africa!"
“Don’t we have a great influence in Africa as well?”
"But we were there mainly for economics, not military, we just went there to do business."
"In fact, our way of treating others equally, where we pay them money and they return resources, is the real way to dig up the roots of the West. There is no harm without comparison."
“…”
It is also because AFP broke out even more explosive news.
The enthusiasm that was originally going to be dominated by the release of Umbrella's new car was immediately diverted, and everyone began to pay attention to the situation over there .
It’s live broadcast again!
"Is Gaul upset? Live streaming again..."
"And not afraid to follow in the footsteps of the kangaroos."
“…”
But these discussions had just begun. The AFP reporter who was following along asked the commander of the foreign legion next to him the same question and received a response.
"Umbrella's technology is very strong, especially their materials science. Because of the blessing of magic, they can create many incredible materials. For those of us who are familiar with combat, we dare not think of it before. I believe everyone in front of the camera has felt it."
Silver Fox gave Umbrella a very pertinent affirmation first.
This is visible to everyone, even opponents must acknowledge it!
"The same is true for their missiles. The anti-stealth coating is extremely powerful, and their hypersonic cruise missiles are second to none in the world. There is no effective way to intercept them now, so we did not send out warships this time..."
Silver Fox’s words also caused an uproar in front of the camera!
As one of the five permanent members of the Blue Planet, they dared not even deploy their warships because of Umbrella's missiles? !
How domineering Umbrella is!
"But even if they don't deploy warships, their missiles are still a huge threat, right? I heard they have already modified the 747s sold to them by Boeing."
AFP reporters immediately asked new questions.
This time, Umbrella has specifically laid the foundation for converting civilian aircraft into military aircraft, so that some corresponding sanctions measures in the future will be justified.
"Yes, their missiles are extremely powerful and can pose a huge threat, but the army is not the navy, and they are not as centralized as warships. Our command center is constantly moving and changing its location. If we are unfortunately hit, we have spares. They are purely for bombing. To be honest, we cannot afford to use missiles. Even the beautiful missiles are limited in number."
The main function of missiles is to attack important targets, while clearing the ground is the job of artillery shells and rockets.
It can be said that Gaul's frontal attack this time is itself a standard mode of using force to overcome cleverness.
When your health exceeds the upper limit of all your ammunition, your attack is meaningless unless there is a fatal flaw!
This is fundamentally different from naval warfare.
Moreover, he had a hidden agenda and deliberately made such remarks to mislead people.
The experimental radar equipment provided by Da Piaoliang, as well as the dozens of Rafale and hundreds of Phantoms that have arrived here, are all waiting in full force!
Admit it, you modified the 747 to the point where it can almost be considered a stealth bomber.
But as long as we catch them in position, we can still shoot them down!
However, his confident words sounded awkward and strange to the audience watching the live broadcast.
"I think I've seen this scene somewhere..."
"Zhang Sanfeng, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have unrivaled martial arts skills. You don't have to kill us all before your true energy runs out."
"He still has three bullets in his gun, and there are four of us."
"It's so funny. Why do I feel like Gaul is still Gaul even before the fight starts..."
“Is this your confidence?”
"But joking aside, what they said is indeed correct. If we really fight head-on, Umbrella's advantage will be weakened to the extreme. It's really not worth it..."
