Chapter 987 The Lighthouse Can't Sit Still
The old mercenary smashed the manhole cover and pushed it hard, but the cover was stuck down and couldn't be opened at all.
The old mercenary had no idea that after he entered the sewer, a large piece of cement collapsed from the wall and landed on the manhole cover, crushing it tightly.
"I should have known not to go into the sewer."
The old mercenary sat in despair at the bottom of the sewer, waiting for death to come.
Not only the old mercenaries were slowly dying, but in fact all the mercenaries who had penetrated deep into the Lighthouse Country were dying.
Mercenaries are best at guerrilla warfare and sneak attacks on small strongholds. They are okay against small and poor countries, but they are no match for a well-trained country like the Lighthouse Country that has a complete military system.
How can scattered soldiers compete with a systematic modern professional army?
When the guards start turning their guns on the mercenaries, their days will be over.
"The mercenaries are about to be finished, what are you going to do next?" Miranda asked.
"Keep recruiting and let more mercenaries come." Zhang Tuohai leaned back in his chair and said lazily.
"Still recruiting? Aren't mercenaries no match for those guards? What's the point of recruiting?" Miranda was puzzled.
"Who said that I have to rely on mercenaries to defeat those guards?" Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Miranda asked.
"Of course not." Zhang Tuohai leaned back in his chair.
"Everyone knows that relying on mercenaries will not work. However, although mercenaries cannot defeat the guards, they still have the ability to disrupt production. They can still do these things by asking them to blow up factories and burn farmland."
"Then what?"
Miranda asked.
"And then? There was nothing else." Zhang Tuohai said.
"But how can we defeat the Lighthouse Nation?"
Miranda asked.
"Our goal has never been to defeat the Lighthouse Nation, but to drag it down and continue to drain its blood so that it has to stop and face up to the distance between us and us."
"However, it seems that our mercenaries are still a little short of their ability, so I can only reluctantly help them."
Zhang Tuohai stood up and stretched his body. Those mercenaries always failed to meet his expectations, so he had to take action himself.
Before that, he sent a message to the mercenaries.
The targets of the attacks have changed from supply points to factories, farms, dam power stations and other facilities, and the bonus for each one has been doubled.
After the large bonuses were issued, the mercenaries became more energetic as if they had taken stimulants.
The logistics strongholds and material convoys are all armed guards, so attacking them is risky. In addition, the guards have recently strengthened the guards of these strongholds, making it increasingly difficult for them to attack. In addition, the guards have recently intensified their attacks against them, and many mercenary teams have been annihilated, causing many mercenaries to want to retreat and leave.
The huge amount of money that Zhang Tuohai invested made them want to make a final profit before leaving.
Not everyone was as lucky as Langley, whose material transfer center was destroyed by just a few precision-guided bombs.
Most of the mercenaries entered relatively late, and the guards strengthened their defenses, which greatly reduced the power of their attacks. Until now, many people have not completed the check-in task.
If I just leave in disgrace, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
Zhang Tuohai’s new mission gave them hope of making a profit.
The material transfer points can’t be attacked, the logistics convoys can’t be attacked, so can’t the unattended factories be attacked?
Can't we attack a farm that's only guarded by a farmer?
The mercenaries regained their confidence and began to look for their targets.
"Can we really get money for blowing up a factory?" asked a young mercenary while looking at the huge factory in front of him.
"That should be the case. Haven't the bonuses for destroying the logistics convoys been paid out before? It shouldn't be any different this time."
The other mercenary wasn't so sure.
"Never mind, just try it and you'll know."
A mercenary became impatient and took out a drone, controlling it to fly towards the factory.
He aimed downwards and casually pressed the bomb button.
Boom!
The bomb dropped by the drone hit the factory building and exploded.
The mercenary wanted to adjust direction and throw the bomb again.
But unexpectedly, the next earth-shaking explosion resounded through the sky.
There was a series of explosions in the factory, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the violent shock wave swept across the surrounding area within a distance of several thousand meters.
Those mercenaries were turned into pieces by the shock wave in the first moment.
If they could exist in soul form, they might know that this was a temporarily converted artillery shell production plant, and that the bombs from their drones just happened to fall on a pile of produced artillery shells.
Except for some unlucky mercenaries, many mercenaries found their targets and succeeded.
They either destroyed the car factories, or the aircraft factories, or burned the farmlands. A few mercenaries were able to steal a few self-propelled artillery pieces, drove them to Yellowstone Park, and fired them at Mount Rushmore.
Large-caliber armor-piercing bullets directly destroyed most of the faces of several presidents.
They didn't take it seriously at first and just posted the photos out of boredom, but they didn't expect to get double the bonus.
Seeing that the bonus came so easily, the mercenaries felt that the money was just falling from the sky, like being hit on the head by a cake.
Many other mercenaries saw this and became jealous.
It turns out that you can get money by destroying landmarks, so what are you waiting for?
Landmarks are easier to deal with than factories or something like that.
Some mercenaries who completed the check-in mission began to search for landmark buildings near them and earn some extra money.
Soon, those famous buildings were hit, and the mercenaries who were blinded by money destroyed them one after another.
"They are crazy! They are destroying our image," the Speaker of the Lighthouse Country slammed the table.
"If we allow them to continue destroying like this, the image of our Lighthouse Country will no longer exist. If we can't even deal with a few small mercenaries, how can we command those small countries? How can they listen to us?"
"Where are the commanders of the guard? What do you do for a living? Can you deal with these guys? If not, get out of here. I'm sending in the federal army."
"Mr. Speaker, please give us another half a month. We will wipe out these mercenaries and hang them on street lamps." said a commander of the state guard.
"I'll only give you one week. If you can't do it, I'll let the federal army take over!" The Speaker waved his hand and issued a deadline.
