Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 716 Internal and External Troubles
After hearing Zhao Wu's words, everyone in the cabin fell silent.
Zhao Wu was right, the current war situation is indeed very tense!
The forces of the five major legions of the Alliance have now been completely tied down by the Defender Empire, and there is no extra strength left to deal with sudden situations.
In particular, the defenders suddenly organized a large army to directly besiege the alliance territory, which also tied down the forces of the Fifth Legion, the reserve legion. The biological invasion of the eastern province unexpectedly hit the powerful First Legion hard.
These two unexpected events were not anticipated by the alliance in advance. At the same time, they were probably long-planned, ready to break the current stalemate in the war in one fell swoop and directly take down the entire alliance!
Therefore, it can even be said that if some major accidents happen in this war at this time, the alliance may not be able to bear it!
By then, if the alliance suffered a defeat on a certain battlefield, it would probably immediately form a chain reaction, and it is possible that the entire alliance camp would be defeated all at once!
Of course, this does not mean that the Alliance is short of troops. In fact, not to mention the major legions, every mercenary group in the Alliance has a large number of clone warriors in reserve. Once all the sleeping clone warriors are awakened, the Alliance will immediately have billions of additional troops!
However, having soldiers alone is not enough to form a cohesive fighting force!
If they are just a group of scattered sand, no matter how many soldiers they have, they will not be able to be killed by the defending army on the battlefield!
In addition to soldiers, there must also be a large number of generals, as well as the support and coordination of various supporting management systems and logistics systems, in order to bring a group of soldiers together and organize them into a powerful army that can always charge into battle!
As the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but hard to get a good general. The Alliance is not short of ordinary soldiers, but it is short of generals with combat command capabilities!
The number of generals the alliance currently has is only enough to form five major legions. If they want to organize more armies, they need to train more generals first.
In addition, not only military generals need to be trained, even ordinary soldiers need to go through a period of training before they can become qualified soldiers.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the total military strength of the alliance may not be increased much. The affairs in the eastern province will probably have to be resolved by the mercenaries of various mercenary groups in the end.
"If we can gather all the mercenary groups in the alliance to fight in the Eastern Province, it is not impossible to eliminate the biochemical warriors here..." Li Jiu was also on the plane watching the biochemical warriors wreaking havoc everywhere, and thought to himself: "However, now there are only mercenaries from one province of our Zhongzhou Province coming to fight in the Eastern Province, and not all the mercenary groups. The force is really too small..."
Although only a part of the cities in the Eastern Province fell, even if civilians are infected with the biological virus, they will immediately become powerful biological warriors with the strength of third-level warriors. Therefore, there are probably at least hundreds of millions of biological warriors in the Eastern Province now.
And it is not certain whether the total number of mercenaries in the entire Zhongzhou province is one million!
In other words, if the mercenaries from Zhongzhou Province are solely relied upon to eliminate the biochemical warriors from the Eastern Province, then one mercenary will have to eliminate at least one hundred biochemical warriors!
However, you must know that whether it is the Zhongzhou province or the mercenary groups in other provinces of the alliance, the largest number of mercenary groups are still those one- star and two-star mercenary groups, and the higher the level of the mercenary group, the rarer they are.
Therefore, most of the mercenaries in Zhongzhou Province are actually not as strong as level three fighters. It is almost impossible to ask them to eliminate a hundred biochemical warriors who are at least level three fighters!
In addition, there is another very important reason. Compared with the regular army of the alliance, although the individual strength of the mercenaries is stronger, the weapons they are equipped with are much worse!
The technology in this world is so advanced, so of course there are advanced weapons!
It's just that the research time was relatively short, so the number is small. Li Jiu learned this from Kaqi when he just joined the Night Rose Mercenary Group.
If weapons of mass destruction like the Thunder Chariot and the Ancient Vine-class Chariot were equipped to the mercenaries in Zhongzhou Province , then it would not be a problem to deal with the biochemical warriors in the Eastern Province!
However, since the mercenaries were just civil organizations equivalent to companies, not regular armies, they did not need to obey the orders of the Union Government. Therefore, the Union Government could not completely trust the mercenaries. They were only allowed to exist because of the needs of the war. Therefore, it was impossible to allow the mercenaries to have too powerful weapons to prevent them from causing chaos.
“Even if they don’t trust our mercenary group and don’t allow us to equip powerful weapons, they can probably deal with the biochemical warriors in the Eastern Province by just sending out a few Ancient Vine-class tanks or some fighter planes. After all, those biochemical warriors can’t fly at all and can’t threaten the air force at all…” Li Jiu was puzzled. “Could it be that the current war situation is so serious that the Alliance is unable to send an Ancient Vine-class tank or fighter plane to the Eastern Province? Or are they worried that weapons with too powerful firepower will destroy the cities in the Eastern Province…”
In fact, if you don't care about the consequences, it is very simple to deal with the biochemical warriors in the eastern provinces. You only need to drop some super weapons such as atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs in places where the biochemical warriors are concentrated, and you can quickly clear out the biochemical warriors in the occupied areas.
However, he also knew that once that kind of super weapon was used, several cities in the occupied areas would be completely destroyed. In this case, even if the biochemical warriors were eliminated and those places were recaptured, it would be meaningless. For the alliance, this would not be worth the loss, so they would never use that kind of super weapon.
"Alas, the situation in the Eastern Province is really troublesome." Li Jiu shook his head helplessly, "In addition, the alliance is now facing threats from the defenders, and the internal situation is also unstable..."
Compared with other team members, Li Jiu has a clearer understanding of the situation of the alliance.
He knew that outside, the Alliance had to find a way to deal with the sudden and fierce attack launched by the Defenders, and internally, they had to guard against rebellions by organizations such as the Black Dragon Society. It was truly a time of turmoil both internally and externally.
