Colonia Storm Tour

"The combat radius of US carrier strike groups is more than 1000 kilometers away. Therefore, we will prepare more field air defense facilities to be stationed on Jost Vandak Island. We cannot launch a direct counterattack against the US carrier strike groups. So please make sure that the Golden Palace display device can operate normally. Our force field shield cannot protect us for too long."

Alice earnestly warned Director Benjamin that although they had built a defensive operations command center, they could not create a force field shield that could be permanently maintained as long as it was not severed.

"Lady Alice, let me make it clear to you here about DEM's combat methods. DEM will not attempt to coordinate attacks with the magicians and Bondsky forces in conjunction with US Navy fighters and Tomahawk cruise missiles, because US Navy fighters would obviously hinder their combat. They would prefer to fight among the magician forces until a victor emerges before sending fighters to bomb those protected by the Golden Palace Manifestation Device."

Colonel Jack explained.

"The combat airspace of magicians and fighter jets overlaps?"

Alice quickly realized what Colonel Jack meant when he said that DEM would not attempt to coordinate an attack with the Magicians and Bondski's forces and US Navy aircraft.

"Your Excellency Alice, because once the Magicians and Bondskies are mixed in, it means that the airspace will become narrower and the management will be more chaotic. No matter which side the Magicians or Bondskies appear on the battlefield, it will be a problem for the pilots of the fighter jets. So as long as the captains of the carrier air wing and the air tactics commanders on the carrier battle group are not fools, they will definitely suggest to DEM that the Magicians and Bondskies deal with their opponents first. They can just launch Tomahawk cruise missiles to bomb the islands first, and then wait for the Magicians to fight to a decisive result before the US Navy decides whether to carry out heavy bombing with Hornets and Lightning II fighters. This is a safe strategy."

Colonel Jack respectfully explained to Alice in detail.

Meanwhile, Colonel Jack's thoughts were clearly correct. In the executive director's office at DEM's UK headquarters, Ellen was directly receiving advice from the fleet commander of the USS Lincoln carrier battle group.

The Executive Director's Office at DEM headquarters has now completely disregarded the functions of the U.S. Joint Operations Command and can now directly communicate with the fleet commander of an aircraft carrier battle group.

"Minister Messer, I have objections to your joint operations plan. If I may be so bold, our naval lads simply do not have the capability to fight alongside the Magician and Bondsky."

Vice Admiral Forrest Crest bluntly stated.

"Why do you say that?"

"Irene asked during the satellite call."

"Minister Messer, you've overlooked the issue of overlapping airspace between our naval fighters and Magicians and Bondskis. Our fighters always need to use airspace at any altitude, and so do Bondskis. Given the humanoid size and unconventional maneuverability of Bondskis and Magicians, barring any tragic accidents, even in large numbers, there shouldn't be any asymmetric mid-air collisions. However, due to their size and maneuverability, our fighters cannot guarantee normal bombing and maneuvering in airspace mixed with Magicians and Bondskis, because Bondskis and Magicians act as air defense balloons."

Vice Admiral Forrest Crest's statement was absolutely true. While fighter jets wouldn't congregate in groups of Bondskis and magicians, these Bondskis and magicians were a nuisance to pilots because it compressed maneuverability and created immense pressure. Collisions with Bondskis and magicians could easily result in a "kamikaze" attack.

"Moreover, our opponents will not deploy any anti-aircraft facilities and will rely entirely on magicians and Avalon manifestation devices to protect themselves. The magic turrets deployed by the Ratatosk Agency on the island will create a barrage that is fatal to any fighter jet if it even grazes the enemy. In addition, the presence of the Foehn Wind on the island means that we will also have to face the Foehn Wind monster, the little warthog."

Vice Admiral Forrest Crest felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the kamikaze drones that had relentlessly hunted down U.S. Navy pilots, leaving them with no way to escape.

Any pilot would find it extremely difficult to deal with a suicide drone that travels at speeds exceeding Mach 2. The fact that it can relentlessly pursue a drone at Mach 2 until the very end would terrify any pilot.

Regardless of the type of air-to-air missile, the missile's fuel tank is limited. Basically, it will enter the inertial flight phase after operating for a few tens of seconds. Once it enters the inertial flight phase, the pilot has a chance to control the fighter jet to evade the missile. Moreover, there are radar jamming bars and infrared flares to assist. However, when facing that monster drone known as the "Little Warthog," it is a completely different story.

Damn it, RWR rushed over without any reaction. Whether you can spot it or not depends on your own and your allies' vision and luck. Moreover, this thing can accelerate suddenly for a considerable period of time, and it can also turn in place like those flying saucers and continue turning.

When US Navy fighter jets encounter such outrageous kamikaze drones, they can basically come up with an average exchange ratio of 1:5 or 1:10, which looks very good on paper. Then the congressmen behind them will erupt like volcanoes.

If it were just a matter of trading fighter jets for 5 or 1 for 10, knowing that training a qualified pilot requires consuming the same weight in pounds of gold, the result would be that the congressmen would immediately tear you, the guy who treats pilots' lives as disposable commodities, apart alive.

Even if the opinions of the congressmen are not important now, what matters is the opinion of DEM headquarters. Okay, but training pilots takes time, and training naval pilots is more troublesome than training second-class air force pilots. In the end, the entire carrier air wing will be lost... At that time, there will not only be armies without soldiers in the world, but also aircraft carriers without carrier air wings.

Normally, aircraft carriers without carrier air wings wouldn't appear, because they'd already been sent to sea to feed the fish. However, the USS Lincoln, which had no fear of being retaliated against, would receive this extremely embarrassing honor.

"We should not send any aircraft to bomb without gaining an advantage in the fight against the Magicians and Bondskis. If the Magicians and Bondskis win, our fighters can be immediately loaded and bombed. If not, we will suffer heavy losses from the Magicians and the Foehn Drones. Therefore, Minister Messer, even if we give up all our carrier-based aircraft, we will not be able to achieve the operational objectives you have set. Please consider this carefully."

Forrest Crest is absolutely right. With the Magicians' Army and Bondsky gaining the upper hand and achieving victory, Jost Vandak Island is just a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered.

“……………………”

Eileen frowned unhappily as she pondered the Vice Admiral's blunt words.

After careful consideration, even for an elite magician like himself, it would be quite unpleasant to have fighter jets that look like flies around him. Moreover, having to pay attention to such a giant fly during battle would be deadly, because it is very difficult for magicians to collide with each other. But magicians and fighter jets... just as Vice Admiral Crest said, an asymmetric mid-air collision is not a dream.

The magician and Bondsky might still be alive, but the fighter jet could only be scrapped or the pilot could call "Ejecting" and say goodbye to his aircraft forever via ejection seat.

Eileen quickly understood the crux of the matter: they wanted the U.S. Navy to retain as much combat power as possible to serve them, rather than maliciously bleeding them dry. Now that they had lost all their air warships, the U.S. fleet was the only reliable fleet force that could be directly dispatched by DEM.

"I understand, Lieutenant General Crest. Go and renegotiate the joint operation plan with Mr. Hardman on Ellington Piris Island."

"Thank you for your understanding, Minister Messer. I will contact Mr. Hardman now."

Forrest Crest visibly relaxed after Ellen Mira Mercers hung up.

The second update is complete.

The 3.3.3 update log is out! The mission screenshots for the Mechanical Chief are also out! Congratulations! However, this doesn't mean that version 3.3.3 will be released anytime soon, because the Mechanical Chief mission map has not yet been tested and can be added to the game.

The exclusive building of the Last Fortress.

-

There is no more powerful fixed-point defense facility in the world than the Last Fortress's ion fortress cannon, and there is probably no larger cannon. A huge amount of resources have been invested in the research, deployment, and maintenance of this ultimate railgun, in addition to the enormous amount of electricity it consumes.

The Ion Fortress Cannon is designed to destroy large enemy tank companies invading the last stronghold's defenses or territory. A number of Ion Fortress Cannons protect the Foehn's origin base, rendering any invading enemy ineffective. Once an Ion Fortress Cannon detects a target entering its range, it begins charging its massive plasma railgun, a process that takes much longer than that of a Mastodon tank, to accumulate enough energy for an attack.

The ion fortress cannon's long-range attacks are devastating and have a wide-area destructive effect, making it difficult for even dispersed enemy forces to evade, forcing them to turn back. This cannon has a large blind spot due to its enormous size. Therefore, the commander of the Last Fortress cannot rely solely on this one cannon.

Chapter Seven: Fruitless Reflections (I)

After the three Iowa-class battleships were destroyed by three plasma fortress cannons, the Foehn and Ratatosk on Jost Vandak Island and the DEM on Ellington Piris Island were locked in a standoff across the sea.

The Foehn and Ratatosk on Jostvandak Island were not worried at all that the unprepared DEM would rashly attack, and DEM did not think that Ratatosk and Foehn, who only had defensive capabilities, would risk being ambushed by using their few magicians to attack Ellington Piris Island.

The DEM Magician on Ellington Piris Island awaits the arrival of the nearest USS Lincoln carrier strike group, which is currently 1500 kilometers from the Virgin Islands and is expected to be in position in two days.

The staff at Ratatosk on Jostvandak Island were also able to briefly relax and focus on their work, resulting in a strange state of no fighting on the southern front.

Supervisor Benjamin Fletcher was also not on standby in the conference room, as he was also the supervisor of Project Fraxinus. There were no pressing security issues at the moment, so he was not in charge of supervising the project he was responsible for. He was to order the activation of the Golden Palace Manifestation Device as needed. Colonel Jack did not have the authority to order the technicians in the research facility who controlled the Golden Palace Manifestation Device to activate it.

Colonel Jack was only responsible for commanding the Magician Forces and the main conventional forces to carry out defensive work.

In this absence of war, the magicians have become strangely idle. Since the sonic radar ranging system of the Fumio can effectively detect DEM magicians and Bondsky who come to scout and attack with ill intentions, there is no need to maintain the routine of patrolling the airspace around the island by the magician forces as yesterday. It is enough to ensure that they can be deployed at any time.

"but………………"

With her right hand holding the teacup handle, Hua Zhizi looked up from the black tea at Artemisia, who was sitting opposite her, elegantly sipping her tea.

“Even if DEM is unlikely to call, we shouldn’t openly set up parasols, tea tables, and chairs on the beach.”

She turned her bronze-blue eyes and glanced sideways at Ellington Piris Island on the other side.

“Gardenia, it’s okay to relax now. Staying on edge all the time will easily lead to fatigue, and the DEM magician won’t be asking for trouble by coming after us now.”

Lin Haiyuan placed his teacup on the tea tray and looked away. The other Ratatosks and the Wind Magicians followed suit, or perhaps they also wanted to relax and express their provocation to the enemy. Like Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi, they took out tables, chairs, and tea sets and placed them next to the Shrike Anti-Aircraft Nest and the Magic Turret. They leisurely brewed Darjeeling tea leaves provided by Ratatosks to make this so-called champagne among black teas.

"I hope so, but are we just going to sit here having morning tea and do nothing else?"

I feel very uncomfortable with the presence of gardenias, because at this time I am usually already engaged in intense competitive training.

"Relax your mind and think about something light. Constantly thinking about battles will tire your brain."

Lin Haiyuan advised.

"Emmmm...okay, but when it comes to thinking about something lighthearted, I suddenly can't think of anything. It seems like all I can think about is training and how to defeat the enemy."

There was a gardenia that couldn't think of any questions to start a conversation.

"How about telling me about your favorite desserts?"

Lin Haiyuan picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Favorite desserts? Hmm... strawberry daifuku and yokan, both of which are sweet treats perfect for enjoying after a meal."

Unlike most girls, Hua Zhizi doesn't have a strong interest in Western-style desserts like cakes or ice cream.

"Both of these are Japanese sweets. Don't you like bread, cakes, and ice cream?"

Artemisia's sky-blue eyes expressed curiosity.

In Lin Haiyuan's memory, girls who liked Western desserts (especially those who were into anime and manga) mostly liked cakes and ice cream, while Japanese desserts such as strawberry daifuku and yokan were rarely mentioned.

If you want a recent example, it would be the soybean flour bread that Yatogami Tohka often eats. Secondly, you could search how often various Japanese sweets appear in the original novel text. Takoyaki and fishing are less common, so let's not say that they are considered snacks rather than standard sweets.

However, it is worth noting that ancient bread is vastly different from modern bread, with the biggest differences being the ingredients added and the difference in hardness.

In ancient Europe, bread could be basically divided into two types: black bread and white bread. Black bread was made with a small amount of wheat flour mixed with a large amount of bran, which was already considered conscientious. What terrifies modern people even more is that some unscrupulous bakers added sawdust and small stones to the bread. Not only was it hard to swallow and eat, but because of its hardness, this kind of black bread could also be used as a brick to smash skulls.

What do you do if you're a tragic time traveler who's been transported to ancient Europe and immediately finds yourself facing hostile people? If you're in France, you can grab a baguette and smash your enemy's skull with it, while ordinary black bread can be used as a brick to throw or strike directly, provided you have the strength to fight those barbarians.

The second one sounds more acceptable, and that is the so-called "Queen's Bread". It is made by adding eggs, milk, honey and vanilla to refined flour and brewer's yeast instead of ordinary leavened dough. After careful fermentation, it is baked. However, it is small and round, which may not be enough to eat. At that time, even the king could only eat a little bit of this occasionally as a luxury and it could never be eaten as a staple food.
