Except for Xia Country, which is local, America, which is still struggling with its strong foundation and special cultural advantages, and Russia, which has a vast territory and sparse population and is relatively well-coordinated, all member states in the alliance, including even established powers like English, have sent out signals for help at the highest level.
The international cooperation system initially established since the end of the world is facing the most severe test.
Li Zhenguo, who presided over the meeting, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "First of all, let's report the situation in our country. Comrade Donglai, please tell me."
General Staff person in charge Zhou Donglai immediately stood up and walked to the strategic map. The laser pointer pointed at the constantly updated domestic situation map, "Yes, Commander."
"As of now, all major settlements in our country are holding on. The ones that are currently moving are Abyssal Beast from Miniature Nest. No abnormalities have been found in the other nests. The garrison and armed police forces in various places have carried out effective resistance based on fortifications."
He paused, with a hint of certainty in his tone.
"It is particularly important to point out that the Source Martial Army unit deployed to various settlements in the early stage played a vital role in this defensive operation."
"With their excellent individual combat effectiveness and precise elimination of elite Abyssal Beast, they greatly eased the pressure on the defense line and stabilized the battle situation."
Zhou Donglai moved the laser pen to several specially marked areas. "In addition, according to the overall situation data we synchronized to the Source Martial Army, East Peak Military Academy has dispatched multiple rapid response teams composed of excellent teachers to rescue several higher-risk settlements. The feedback is currently good."
"And."
Zhou Donglai looked at the people in the conference room and raised his voice a little louder, "As for the settlements where the situation is most severe, after Comrade Lin Yi personally went to provide support, the crisis has been basically resolved."
"According to the final confirmation message sent back by Frontline, Comrade Lin Yi single-handedly wiped out more than 60,000 Abyssal Beast in a very short time, completely dismantling the main force of Abyssal Tide in this direction."
There was a brief silence in the conference room, followed by several sighs of relief and low murmurs.
Although the strength of Lin Yi was somewhat estimated, this number still brought a strong shock.
Li Zhenguo nodded slightly, with a rare hint of relief on his face. "Comrade Lin Yi has once again made great contributions to the initial stabilization of the domestic situation. East Peak Military Academy and Source Martial Army are indispensable."
Then, Li Zhenguo changed the subject and his tone became solemn, "Now, let's discuss a more difficult issue. What do you think of so many countries in the coalition asking for help? Should we save it? How should we save it?"
"Comrade Donglai, General Staff first talk about your preliminary views."
Zhou Donglai was obviously well prepared. He cleared his throat and said, "Commander, dear comrades. I think that on the premise of ensuring that our country's homeland defense is safe, we should launch a rescue operation."
He walked to the world map and pointed to the dense red dots on it. "Blue Star Crisis Response Union is an important platform for us to maintain international order and jointly deal with the threat of Abyssal Beast after the end of the world."
"If we sit idly by and ignore the existential crisis of our allies when we have the ability, then this alliance will exist in name only and we will fall into isolation. In the long run, it will not be conducive to our own defense."
"The principle of dying lips and cold teeth is also applicable today."
"Rescue? That's nice to say!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded, it was the old man who had previously questioned the strength of Lin Yi.
He frowned and said in an excited tone, "Chief of Staff Zhou, I have been a soldier too! Can you tell me how to save him?"
"Our helicopters have a limited range and cannot replenish fuel during cross-border rescue operations, so they cannot fly at all!"
"How many people can a large transport plane carry? What about ammunition? And who knows what the situation is at foreign airports now?"
"Without ground guidance and support, the risk is extremely high! Do we need to use our precious airborne troops to deliver them to various countries like pepper noodles? What can we do with that small amount of troops?"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, tapping his fingers on the table, "Are we going to use army troops to cross the border? Not to mention the threats from nests along the way, the logistical supply alone is a huge problem! How much ammunition do we need to carry to support a battle?"
"Other than Comrade Lin Yi, who has the ability to carry out such a long-range, large-scale mobile rescue? Is it possible for Comrade Lin Yi to risk going abroad?"
"People's hearts are separated from each other! If he runs out of energy and encounters an accident abroad, who can bear this responsibility?"
He took a breath and slammed the table.
"I firmly disagree with letting Comrade Lin Yi be involved in danger, and I also believe that cross-border rescue is not feasible!"
His views represent the concerns of some people, that is, they are worried about paying a huge price but achieving little results, and they are even more afraid that the core combat power Lin Yi will be lost.
Zhou Donglai patiently listened to the old man's repeated questions and did not refute directly, but slowly shook his head. "Mr. Wang, the difficulties you mentioned are all very real. Of course we will not let Comrade Lin Yi take this risk. His first priority is to ensure domestic stability and the safety of the East Peak Military Academy."
He changed the subject and glanced at everyone present, finally returning to Li Zhenguo.
"However, you and everyone may have overlooked one thing. We actually have another option. We can use East Wind."
"Eastern Edge?" Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.
"You mean Source Martial Army? No!"
"Source Martial Army is our nascent strategic force. Although they don't need to carry much ammunition, they only need crystals to continue fighting. Do we want them to be consumed on the battlefield in a foreign country?"
"This is absolutely not okay!"
Zhou Donglai smiled slightly and corrected, "Mr. Wang, he is not the frontman of "Eastern Edge" military academy, but the leader of "East Wind" express delivery."
"East Wind?!"
These two words were like thunder, exploding in the conference room.
Everyone was startled, and then showed a look of surprise.
East Wind Series Ballistic Missiles!
Xia Country was once the cornerstone of strategic deterrence.
After the end of the world, its effect against the high-level Abyssal Beast was not ideal. Coupled with the paralysis of the global navigation system, these important weapons of great powers that require precision guidance have gradually been forgotten.
Zhou Donglai met everyone's gaze and nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, East Wind."
"Through the unremitting efforts of the technical department, especially after the restoration of some key communication and observation nodes, we have initially reestablished limited contact with the satellites in orbit and repaired some ground command and control systems."
"Although it is far from returning to pre-war levels, it is enough to support us in carrying out limited strategic delivery missions targeting fixed areas for the existing East Wind series missiles."
Zhou Donglai walked to the huge world map and traced his finger across the sky. "Our East Wind has a range that is enough to cover any corner of Blue Star that needs assistance."
"What it carries can be destruction or hope."
I'm exhausted from all the trouble, Amen, I guess it won't be until around 10pm tomorrow.
