I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

In the early stage, the alliance can only mobilize about 20 regular troops at a time. This number can be doubled within six months. Within a year, including retired soldiers who have completed refresher training, it can roughly mobilize about 200 million regular troops with the combat effectiveness of professional soldiers.

However, it is still unknown how many of these people can be armed with new equipment. The size of the portal severely restricts the number and types of weapons that the Alliance can deploy, and it is likely that the main focus will still be on deploying armored forces.

Based on her understanding of her previous life, in terms of armored forces, a Tiger tank would be nothing but a gift to the enemy if it were to go forward. The Type 88 cannon was useless, and the one that had real combat power was the enhanced version of the T80 magic tank.

After adding the Zerg, Medea found that although it seemed to be at a considerable disadvantage, it was not completely unable to fight against the overlord of the blue star.

Her most important bottom-line advantage is the use of nuclear weapons. The location of the teleportation array is both an advantage and a disadvantage for the United States. If she cannot win, she can just use nuclear bombs to clear the area. However, the other side may not have the courage to place such a thing on its own soil.

She didn't believe that once this ultimate weapon was detonated in the United States, the 50 stars on the American flag would not break into several pieces. After all, who could accept that the lighthouse emitted radiation? They would definitely escape without any radiation.

Even if she were to suffer nuclear retaliation from the other side, she could afford the price of the second world being hit by a nuclear bomb. After all, there were no indigenous people in this world except Ilea, so it was acceptable for it to become the main battlefield.

As long as she was not crushed by the other party, she had the confidence to drown America with the resources of the worlds behind her, just like he had done before.

At this time in Serra, the capital of the Outside Alliance, all the citizens of the Alliance had smiles of pride on their faces, and the opening date of the Alliance's military parade had entered the final countdown.

During this period, a large number of tourists from all over the world gathered in the capital of the Union to watch the first military parade since the founding of the Union. Of course, they had never heard of this term before.

Compared to the excitement and joy in the outside world, the atmosphere within the alliance military seemed much more serious.

Originally, the participating troops for the military parade and the weapons and equipment to be exhibited had been arranged, but now all the plans have been overturned and disrupted. The elites previously transferred from various legions have all been withdrawn, and the weapons and equipment have also been pulled back to their original territories.

Facing a powerful enemy, Medea had no time for all those fancy things. The military parade would not be cancelled but she changed it into an actual combat parade. All troop formations participating in the parade would march through the building square in a wartime formation with live ammunition.

After driving through the Central Avenue where the people reviewed, they headed directly to the Second World to prepare for war. You must know that even if you exclude the ace troops that set out first, the follow-up vanguard army has a total of five divisions, with more than 100,000 people armed with live ammunition walking through an area where millions of tourists are crowded. If they accidentally fire, the fun and trouble will be huge.

This is a historical first in every respect.

There was nothing Medea could do as time waits for no one. Who knows when the opponent will come through the portal? Their only advantage at the moment is that the opponent is not aware that their real opponent is human and not insect. This is the only time they have the first-mover advantage unintentionally.

Because of the lack of transparency in information, the number of regular troops in the United States in the early stage would not be too large, and she had a chance to counterattack.

After this, the two sides who are prepared will suffer the loss if they go through the door first.

Now, because there is a lack of Sky Eye satellites to provide support for information warfare, without the help of satellites and in an unfamiliar environment, satellite navigation and terrain navigation cannot be used. It can be said that whoever goes to the other side's world is blind. It would be strange if there is no disadvantage in playing with perspective in the dark.

The playing styles of both sides are almost the same, so what they are fighting for is the right to take the initiative. This right to take the initiative is currently in the hands of Medea, and only she can maximize the benefits of this right to take the initiative.

As long as the first wave disrupts the opponent's position, she will have the opportunity to launch the satellite into space as quickly as possible and level the information asymmetry.

Chapter 485 Operation Flood

"Ahhh!!!"

'moo'

At a huge crack in the ground, a large number of civilian trucks were lined up in an endless queue and moving slowly forward. Their trucks were pulling various livestock raised in rural areas of the Second World and dumping them into the crack. The crack's spiral and dense serrations kept rotating and crushing everything that was poured in.

The terrible squeals of pigs and roars of cows continued to echo in the area.

'Boom boom! '

'Boom boom! '

In the huge breeding chamber of the mother nest buried underground, countless insect eggs are carried by worker insects and put into a hatching pool with a radius of more than 50 meters. From time to time, the eggs break and hatch new insects, which absorb nutrients in the pool and grow rapidly.

Groups of insects were catalyzed into complete forms and crawled out in groups under the command of the brain worm.

This new group of war bugs have undergone a deeper level of simplification compared to the previous ones. Their bodies have become slightly larger, and their height in combat posture is about 1.5 meters, close to the normal height of humans.

The double pincers on the lower jaw were removed, the three pairs of arthropods were reduced to two pairs, and the limbs near the upper part of the body were extended and became flat and sharp.

The mouthparts have completely disappeared and there is no digestive system. There is no need for breathing and oxidation. The internal organs in the cavity are basically all discarded. The bones continue to proliferate during the development process and are stacked on top of the chitin armor covering the entire body.

The heart that served as an energy supplier was replaced by a high-energy biological crystal, and the only thing left was the nervous system that controlled the body.

These new war bugs cannot eat, and their internal energy supply is only enough for them to survive for 12 hours on standby, and only 4-6 hours when in combat mode.

But this life span, which is even smaller than that of a mayfly, is exchanged for a body system that is almost invincible in nature. When alive, they can use their forelimbs to cut steel plates hundreds of millimeters thick and shred the flesh and tissues of all known creatures, but they are worthless after death.

It is basically impossible for other creatures to use the fragments left by the war bugs except the Zerg themselves. Now it is more appropriate to call them knife bugs.

In addition to the knife worms, a batch of other strange-shaped insects were also hatched experimentally. Among them, the second largest number of insects hatched after the knife worms was a kind of insect that could secrete and emit corrosive liquid. Its huge abdominal cysts flashed a green light.

There are also several large hatching pools separated on one side. In some of the pools, countless insect eggs are floating that are so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye, while the large ones are nearly 8 meters high just because of the cocoons formed when absorbing nutrients.

It is impossible to count how many such incubation chambers there are in the entire underground mother nest. As long as there is a need and enough biological energy, the mother nest can open as many as it wants.

此时的华盛顿中被毁坏的街道瓦砾上一辆辆M2A6与M3A5布莱德利履带式步战车转动着25毫米机炮检索周围的可疑区域。

From time to time, war bugs are discovered and then eliminated through the firing holes by machine guns and infantry gunners in the vehicles. If a large-scale insect swarm is encountered, the M1 main battle tank following behind will fire a high-explosive bomb to clear the area.

Compared to the National Guard, whose previous actions were somewhat chaotic, the response method of this army was obviously much more reasonable. Under the guidance of aerial patrol scanning helicopters, their completely mechanized marching method resulted in almost no casualties.

These are the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the th Mechanized Infantry Division [Ivy] stationed in California. As the state closest to Washington State, their support speed is also the fastest.

Although there are only two brigades in place, there are more than 140 main battle tanks, nearly 2 M3-M infantry fighting vehicles, and hundreds of other armored vehicles in these two brigades alone.

There are dozens of anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, heavy howitzers, rocket launchers, mortars, and recoilless guns, and there are dozens of various helicopters providing air support.

If it is a fully-organized 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, all the equipment will have to be doubled on this basis. Even if most of the equipment is still on the way due to transportation problems, they are fully qualified to serve as the vanguard to maintain stability.

Another ace of the Eagle Sauce, the 82nd Airborne Division, will also arrive at the battlefield within two days. The dangers faced by the state capitals and the potential benefits contained therein are enough for all states to temporarily put aside their prejudices and give the regular army the green light to pass.

The most excited among them is the military-industrial complex. Just from the military mobilization and weapons use in the past few days, their expected profits in the next month are already hundreds of millions of US dollars.

After all, they received a budget of 7000 million dollars when they sent thousands of people to Washington, D.C. to rescue the riots without firing a single shot. It doesn't make sense that the mechanized infantry division that fired guns and artillery would cost less.

The portal's sudden appearance was a godsend, Agent Smith agreed.

Sleepy Old Deng could only accept this.

Not only the military-industrial complex of the United States is excited, but the military-industrial enterprises that are constrained by the alliance are also excited. The orders they received are enough to feed them for twenty years at a time.

Mitia was inspired by the fact that he had seen how NASA, which had completely lost its independent research and development capabilities, was kidnapped by one or two companies and had its prices maliciously raised.

Therefore, she was not stupid enough to give up the military industry and completely rely on the military-industrial enterprises in various states. When there was no war, she would only give them orders that were just enough for their survival, and the main orders would be given priority to state-owned military factories.

In this way, when there is a difference in benefits between the two parties, state-owned enterprises can in turn absorb outstanding technical personnel from local state enterprises to strengthen themselves.

Just like the T80 series, if the alliance had not agreed to open up the technology, the local tank manufacturers would have no ability to produce it.

So far, they have basically mastered all technologies except engines and main guns, and production lines have begun to be rolled out on a large scale.

The main gun and engine are both produced by state-owned military industrial enterprises in the form of modular power packs and artillery system packages, and the final assembly of each part is completed by a specialized assembly plant.

With the big brother putting pressure on it, the alliance's military-industrial complex has never been able to develop into a major force and has basically been treated like a downstream branch factory. This is the grading mechanism that the alliance has borrowed from.

As key technology enterprises, state-owned enterprises are responsible for leading and mobilizing talents in related fields across the country to jointly carry out the research and development of cutting-edge weapons and equipment.

After the successful research and development, the production system was reconstructed, with state-owned enterprises specializing in the production of engine and artillery modules, and other joint enterprises subcontracting the remaining modules, which was just a small part of the business.

State-owned and private enterprises compete fairly in the mid-range field. In addition to tanks, the armored group also has a great demand for other special vehicles. Affordable special armored vehicles are basically monopolized by military-industrial enterprises in various states, which is their main source of profit.

Private enterprises take up all the market share in the low-end sector, mainly making some money from foreign trade exports.

That is to say, they have been lying dormant for too long, so these private military factories in the alliance have been working hard after receiving the orders, trying to let the top leaders of the alliance see their value.

The T80 is very good but also very expensive. Look at our infantry fighting vehicles and medium tanks, they also have good performance, are cheap and durable. Should we get more of them?

This situation is also happening in the aviation manufacturing field, but aviation companies are better than them. State-owned enterprises basically only make engine assemblies, and other parts are distributed out.

Compared with their hard-working colleagues in the Army Equipment Department, private military companies specializing in the aviation field are in a much better situation, because many aviation materials can be used in the aerospace field.

As for the Alliance Air Force's existing F14 twin-engine heavy fighters, light fighters, and various drones, there is no need for major updates. The production lines and skilled workers are already available, and they can make money as long as they are produced.

Alliance fighters have long used magic stealth technology, which allows them to achieve invisibility on both the real and magical levels. Logically speaking, this does not make them invisible on the radar wave level, but one of the benefits of magic is its strong plasticity.

After the radar was developed by the alliance researchers, the first generation of magic stealth technology was indeed unable to make it invisible on radar waves, but after simple modifications, the second generation of magic stealth could basically make it invisible on radar.

The detection principle of radar is basically based on the reflection angle effect produced when the emitted wave band hits the aircraft. If the fuselage is exposed at a right angle, it will respond with a stronger radar reflection wave and be detected by the radar.

Specific magic can use the metal elements in the air to simulate an illusory polyhedron shell to directly disperse and deconstruct the frequency band emitted by the radar and prevent it from being reflected back, thus naturally achieving the effect of radar invisibility.

Even if there are no magical elements in the other world, the built-in magic power source can still be used to activate the stored protective shield to achieve a similar effect, so the F14 can still continue to perform its duties as the main fighter.

The biggest challenge for the alliance is how to expand itself into another world. No one is stupid enough to watch the enemy expand their territory right under their noses.

The 4th Mechanized Infantry Division in Washington had already arrived at the entrance of the portal and began to set up defensive positions consisting of various artillery and tanks. At the same time, more than a dozen drones of different specifications were released from the ground and flew towards the portal array.

Unfortunately, once the drone entered the teleportation array, it completely lost control. Mitia was not quite sure about the teleportation principle of the teleportation array, but the unmanned system was useless anyway.

It may be because although the two worlds are close to each other because of the teleportation array, they are more than a few light years away from each other in terms of electrical signals, so it is not surprising that no signal can be received.

The drone did not send back any footage, and the higher-ups were pressing for action. The commander of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division gritted his teeth, selected a mobile team and ordered them to go inside to collect some information.

At first, the American soldiers were reluctant, but the commander made it very easy and told them that they only needed to do two things after entering: turn 180 degrees as much as possible to let the recorder record the video and then exit directly. It was that simple.

The mission is indeed simple, and the commander only needs them to achieve his goals, one is information, the other is security.

If they all died, the other side would definitely not be safe. He was just following the orders of his superiors, and the losses were not high, which would not threaten his current position.

If someone is not dead and can come back alive, then he will have brought back valuable first-hand information about the other world. No matter how you think about it, he will not lose out.

The result was very obvious. The soldiers who entered the second world by three means: riding the M1A2 main battle tank, the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, or walking, were killed by the knife bugs waiting there as soon as they were teleported to the second world.

The armor of the M2 Bradley was like paper to the knife bug. It tore off a piece of steel plate in a few seconds and drilled in.

The M1A2 main battle tank also failed to escape. Although its armor was very thick, it could not withstand the information provided by Medea and its tracks were cut off by the knife worms, and it lay flat on the spot.

Even though the two swords of the knife bug cannot penetrate the main armor of the M1A2, they are more than enough to deal with the two tracks.

There is only one tank driver inside this M1A2, not a complete tank crew. After all, his task is the same as everyone else, which is to record some images and then return.

As time went by and the team still hadn't returned, the commander's face became solemn. He knew his soldiers very well. It was a little difficult to let them fight the enemy desperately, but if you could let them escape, they would definitely be world-class.

Therefore, the mission objective he set at the beginning was directly linked to retreat, which was a clear reminder to them that running away was not shameful and on the contrary, they would be greatly rewarded if they managed to escape successfully.

But even so, no one managed to survive. There was a main battle tank among them, and the threat from the alien world on the other side must be considerable.

While he was thinking, the teleportation array that had not responded for a long time suddenly began to glow, and then a huge insect wrapped in a shell poked its head out from the portal.

"attack!!!"

"Quick! Everyone attack!!!"

"Bang, bang..."

"Da da da da..."

At the commander's roar, all kinds of weapons deployed around suddenly lit up. Heavy machine guns, machine guns, recoilless guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, tank main guns, etc. exploded on the insect's body one after another.

The outer armor of the giant insect was broken in the blink of an eye. The insect kept twisting its body and large amounts of green blood spurted from its surface.

As it crawled out of the teleportation array under the guns, a giant worm over ten meters long appeared in front of everyone. The TV station helicopter hovering in the air also faithfully recorded its full appearance and spread it to thousands of households.
