The Planet Aquamarine has four continents, with Six Nations occupying the southern, northern, and southern continents. The central continent, Andia, was once the main battlefield of the old era. It was heavily polluted, the environment was desolate, radiation filled the air, and it had become a desert, an abandoned and barren land. After being occupied by the Germinal, it was transformed into their base.
Six months ago, Han Xiao sold information about Germinal, which shocked the Six Nations and caused Germinal's branch bases, which had been built up over many years, to be completely destroyed, severely damaging its strength. Germinal had always relied on these "snails" to make the Six Nations hesitate to act against it. Now that the threat was gone, the Six Nations had no more scruples and finally settled accounts.
Thus began the expedition.
War is not something that can be started on a whim, especially when the scale of a war is almost global. It requires mobilizing military forces, gathering resources, and waiting for everything to be in place before the flames of war can be ignited.
After several months of preparation, they finally set off on September 16th, 688 of the Galaxy Calendar.
More than a dozen large naval formations departed simultaneously from their respective military ports, with aircraft carriers at their core, accompanied by numerous frigates and destroyers, carrying tens of thousands of soldiers, forming a formidable and imposing force.
The Six Nations discussed their strategic plan and agreed to joint operations. The naval commander-in-chief was Lin Lin, a top officer from Raylen, a pure soldier with no political leanings, rich experience, and a stable style. He was unanimously recommended by the highest levels of the Six Nations. Lin Lin commanded the naval fleet to attack Andia from all directions, launching a full-scale invasion.
The Germinal deployed directional measures and military forces around the coastline, and also dispatched fleets and air forces to defend control of the sea.
The first wave of engagement involved missiles.
The Germinal took the initiative, launching long-range missiles in an attempt to annihilate the navies of Six Nations beyond visual range. However, it was shot down at high altitude by the anti-missile interceptor array equipped on the aircraft carrier. The carrier strike group retaliated by launching missiles toward the Andia Continent, Germinal escaped unscathed thanks to its land-based anti-missile system.
Missile exchanges are ineffective against each other; the outcome of the battle will ultimately depend on the result of close combat.
The fleets clashed fiercely in the waters off Andia. The flames of war ignited on the azure sea. The two armies clashed, and the fleets fought each other fiercely. The guns of the twin-mounted batteries spewed flames that were dozens of meters long, the fire was blinding, the smoke was thick, and explosions occurred on warships one after another. Ships were sunk at any moment.
While weapons of war dominate large-scale battlefields, the role of superhumans cannot be ignored. Without proper precautions, a powerful superhuman can slaughter an entire ship's soldiers and single-handedly destroy a warship from within. Various All Kinds of Oddities and extraordinary abilities wreak havoc on the battlefield, and the existence of superhumans makes the war unpredictable. Fortunately, the Germinal executives are formidable, and the superhumans of the Six Nations are no slouch either. Both sides suffer losses and are mutually restraining each other.
Because Han Xiao brought forward the main storyline of the great war, players from each faction participating in the expedition mission could only watch helplessly, with almost no room to intervene in the naval battles.
In his previous life, players would have rushed in eagerly, but now Han Xiao has reduced their influence on the battle to a minimum.
Their level is too low; rushing in would just make them cannon fodder.
The naval commander of the Germinal Dalost, was once a high-ranking naval officer of a destroyed nation. Under his command, the Germinal fleet was as fierce as wolves. However, the Six Nations advanced and retreated with strategy, as if they had a complete grasp of the Germinal ' plans. After the battle, the Germinal fleet quickly suffered huge losses.
On the southern battlefield, Stardragon's [Long Star] and [Wandering Dragon] fleets tore through enemy lines, Hesla's [Blazing Sun], [Skimming Bird], and [Sharp Spear] fleets advanced deep into enemy territory, destroying the island port that provided fleet supplies to Germinal. The other four nations also employed their own tactics on their respective battlefields.
The information Han Xiao revealed to Stardragon about the Germinal Headquarters before the war gave the Six Nations an intelligence advantage.
They gained a significant advantage on the battlefield thanks to Han Xiao's intelligence contributions, a fact that high-ranking officials from various countries have not forgotten.
Dalost's flagship was sunk in the naval battle, and the shells shattered him into pieces. His deputy commander Anses, urgently took over command.
Faced with the naval siege of Six Nations, Anses was overwhelmed and lost a large area of sea in just three days. In the end, he wisely gave up the struggle for control of the sea, avoided the sharp edge of the Six Nations' fleets, and redeployed his troops back to the mainland for defense. Germinal began to prepare to take advantage of Andia's home ground to fight against the Six Nations.
Having gained control of the seas, the Six Nations blockaded the surrounding waters, eyeing the region with predatory intent. Their fleets deployed high-powered sonar around the Andia Continent, operating 24/7 to prevent submarine attacks or escapes. It was as if a net had been cast over the entire Andia Continent, turning it into a trapped turtle in a jar, effectively cutting off any potential escape routes for the Germinal threat.
The aircraft carrier became a mobile air force base, challenging the Germinal air superiority, bombing everywhere, and fighting against the Germinal air forces. Dropping nuclear bombs was a last resort, never to be used unless absolutely necessary.
Troop transport ships carried ground troops to the coastline, and the ground forces of the Six Nations finally set foot on Andia, triggering an amphibious landing battle that was fiercely contested.
The outcome of ground warfare can determine the course of the war. According to Han Xiao's intelligence, as long as those anti-missile military bases are destroyed, the missile destructive power of the aircraft carrier can be unleashed, thus securing the victory in one fell swoop and extinguishing the Germinal.
The Germinal had no way out. Faced with overwhelming encirclement, delaying would only lead to its territory being continuously breached, trapping it like a turtle in a jar, and ultimately its demise. If the Germinal wanted to break the deadlock, it had to seek other actions. The commanders of the Six Nations believed that the Germinal must have other strategic intentions in secret, and both sides were probing each other's trump cards.
Anyone could see that the Germinal was at a huge disadvantage. The Six Nations held several war situation analysis meetings and unanimously concluded that the Germinal had almost no chance of winning. The only thing to watch out for was the information about the Dead Hand System revealed by Han Xiao, and to prevent the Germinal from making a desperate move.
In order to eliminate the nuclear threat, the Six Nations dispatched special agent teams to infiltrate various military bases controlling nuclear weapons based on Han Xiao's intelligence. All operations were carried out covertly.
At the Germinal Headquarters, located in an underground blast-proof fortification, the leader is receiving a battle report.
The leadership of Germinal was shrouded in gloom. As soon as the war began, the situation began to deteriorate against them. Indeed, Germinal could not withstand the combined attack of the Six Nations in terms of hard power. Fortunately, they still had various planned products that could be used as surprise weapons and should be effective in the ground war.
In the previous life, when the Six Nations and Germinal, the situation was evenly matched. With its branch bases on various continents, the Germinal diverted the attention of the Six Nations, and the military strength on the main battlefield was basically equal.
Now, however, Germinal has been severely weakened by Han Xiao, and the balance of victory seems to be tilting irreversibly towards the Six Nations, a situation completely different from that of the previous life.
It was all caused by Han Xiao, that little butterfly!
No one knew how to win this battle, but the leader's composure made everyone believe that he had a solution.
"Hom Port, Mourning Bird Port, Temifa Port... all thirteen ports have fallen. The Six Nations are continuously sending ground troops to land. In the north, Raylen and Terilous are launching attacks on the Sunset Valley Base and the Black Tree Base. If these two bases are captured, we will lose some missile silos. The other four nations are steadily advancing, breaking through the defense forces of Bak and Mu Haishan, and heading towards key bases. The enemy's objective is very clear: to eliminate our various missile and anti-missile bases. They even know the detailed functions of the bases, so they definitely have important intelligence on us..." The officer reported, sweating profusely.
"It's Zero." The leader's tone was calm and utterly indifferent, eerily so; he was used to it.
This result further confirms his suspicion that Han Xiao possesses "precognitive" abilities. As long as Zero remains, he will always be a major threat to the organization. Intelligence is only useful when there is sufficient power, and unfortunately, Zero is maneuvering between the Six Nations, using others to do his dirty work.
But Germinal was at a loss. Zero was like a rat hiding in the shadows, hoping that the "Child of Destiny's " prediction would come true and that Zero would come to headquarters and walk right into their trap. The leader had deployed countless troops around headquarters, and with just one order, a huge encirclement could be formed, stretching for thousands of miles.
To catch Zero, no amount of fanfare is too much.
Zero's own strength is only at a mid-to-high level, and he is very likely to bring helpers with him. Under this massive encirclement, the leader is confident that no matter how many people Han Xiao brings, they are doomed.
As for whether Zero's precognitive abilities would uncover his trap, the leader conducted an experiment to address this. He disrupted the army's deployment and discovered that the Six Nations were unaware of these changes. He then realized that Han Xiao's "precognition" had limitations; at least it wasn't omniscient or omnipotent. The leader had no choice but to believe in the "Child of Destiny."
As the passive party, he had little choice but to wait passively for his prey to come to him.
"If we take out Zero, we'll have a chance of winning."
The leader slammed his gloved fist on the table, his voice icy beneath his mask.
