In fact, Dongying was not completely defenseless. At the very least, they believed they still had the ability to resist.
Although the first wave of orbital strikes by the "Space Marines" had crippled twenty administrative districts in Dongying, with most administrative functions—including power and command systems—completely paralyzed and disconnected.
No matter what, Dongying was still a country. Its territory might not be large, but it certainly could not be completely conquered overnight.
Of course, Alvin had a more convenient and efficient method. For example—he could order the Mars-class cruiser "Holy Flame Arbiter," stationed in near-Earth orbit, to carry out a direct saturation bombardment of the Dongying region.
It would only take a few hours.
With the capabilities of the Mars-class cruiser "Holy Flame Arbiter," it was more than enough to send Dongying's four islands sinking to the bottom of the sea.
But he had not done so for two reasons. First, at least for now, he still needed to establish a relatively "gentle" image in front of all humanity. Second, he wanted the nations of the world—including the humans still watching from the sidelines—to personally witness the hope of humanity defeating the "Trisolarans."
The Space Marines were that hope!
His combat orders had already been transmitted to the "Holy Flame Arbiter." All he needed to do now was wait for the results.
Speaking of this, the people Alvin was most grateful to were the "Transformers."
Of all his many journeys, if one had to be called his greatest harvest, it would undoubtedly be the "Transformers" world. Not only had he gained an entire army of Iron Men for free, but, more importantly, he had obtained "space miniaturization technology."
Precisely because he had this technology, combined with the "Stasis Field," he could carry a Mars-class cruiser with him at all times,
