Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

This level of enthusiasm surpasses that of lasers.

That makes sense. Although laser beams are incredibly powerful and can cause devastating damage to any of Jiang Chen's armor, they are too expensive.

To date, the United States has used lasers only a handful of times.

No more than five times in total!

But only these five times.

It has already consumed one-tenth of the entire United States' assets.

The continuous issuance of US dollars has led to severe inflation.

The domestic economic situation is not optimistic.

This is the power of a laser.

This is clearly no child's play.

But the cost is indeed staggering.

They simply cannot bear it.

If it is used a few more times, the United States will be declared to have disintegrated.

"Their progress has been rapid, beyond my expectations."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Finally, Jiang Chen gave some more instructions.

"Keep in touch and do not let anything happen. If there is an emergency, let me know immediately and I will activate the backup plan to rescue you."

Jiang Chen typed the text.

At this moment, Liang Wanting felt utterly powerless.

This feeling is like that of a homeless child.

All my words and actions are controlled by others.

They have no control over their own lives.

Go wherever others tell you to go.

But Liang Wanting was truly unwilling to accept it.

What did she do wrong?
I just want to live a peaceful life.

To make my family's life better, that's all.

This was her motivation, so why has it turned out like this?
Liang Wanting couldn't understand it at all.

Why is God so unfair to her?

"Don't worry too much, just rest well."

"Sleep peacefully, I'll come to pick you up then."

"Remember, you are never alone, whether you believe it or not."

"At least your loved ones are still alive, and you have me by your side."

Jiang Chen naturally sought to recruit talented individuals.

Moreover, now is the perfect opportunity.

The actions of the United States have deeply hurt Liang Wanting.

Jiang Chen seizing the opportunity to enter at this moment is often the most effective strategy.

Regardless of whether Leung Wan-ting ultimately pledges allegiance to the Dragon Kingdom.

As long as Liang Wanting is willing to stand on my side.

For Jiang Chen, that was enough.

"I understand, Jiang Chen, thank you."

Liang Wanting sighed and nodded.

I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

No one knows what she was thinking at that moment.

For Jiang Chen, the battle has already begun.

Next, he needs to take control of the overall situation.

The current leaders of the three major army groups are Long Tianxiang, Jia Leijie, and Deng Tianlong.

They are all at the highest level of the space city's military command system.

Moreover, they achieved outstanding results in every battle.

Firstly, their achievements speak for themselves, and secondly, their strength is formidable.

He is considered a veteran in the space city.

Having followed Jiang Chen the longest, his prestige goes without saying.

This Deng Tianlong was only recently promoted.

The candidate was nominated after joint discussion among all senior officers of the military command.

Jiang Chen was naturally relieved.

Moreover, Deng Tianlong originally came from the domestic military.

This is also why Jiang Chen has always insisted on strictly reviewing the top generals to ensure they are his own people.

And they must be trustworthy, not only that.

Even for ordinary staff, Jiang Chen's vetting standards were extremely strict. This included even the cleaning staff.
Jiang Chen also needs to thoroughly investigate his family background.

This is exactly what many people dream of entering the space city.

The reason why they could not obtain them was because the standards were too strict.

Those who can work in the space city.

They are all outstanding individuals, the cream of the crop.

This is indisputable.

The battle lasted for about half a month.

Jiang Chen originally thought that he should have a sure victory in this battle.

It could severely damage the power of the United States.

After all, all parties are ready.

Moreover, they possess abundant combat power.

No longer lacking reinforcements as in the past.

Who knew that half a month would pass.

The United States suffered heavy losses.

However, the situation of the three major army groups is not optimistic.

The total number of casualties has reached more than two thousand.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small number; this is only the result of half a month's work.

Jiang Chen estimates that this battle will last at least two to three months.

The total number of casualties is likely to exceed 10,000.

Jiangchen Space City has a total military force of only 30,000 to 40,000.

If the casualties from this months-long battle exceed 10,000.

This was truly difficult for Jiang Chen to accept.

Unfortunately, the current situation is beyond Jiang Chen's control.

Now that localized fighting has begun, he can only wait and see.

Jiang Chen had no time to attend to other matters.

All of them were handed over to these leaders to handle.

At this moment, the leaders naturally came to Jiang Chen to complain.

And report the latest battle situation.

"This cutting-edge nanotechnology definitely deserves our attention."

"Jiang Chen, when do you predict that our nanotechnology will be able to break through to the second stage?"

Long Tianxiang frowned deeply.

He said it anxiously.

The enemy forces are quite adept at using cutting-edge nanotechnology.

Moreover, it has already reached the third stage.

They deployed all their most advanced equipment to the battlefields in various resource zones.

The key lies in the fact that the enemy has a large military force.

They numbered approximately 70,000 to 80,000 and were well-equipped.

The troops deployed to Space City this time are divided into three major army groups.

Each army group has only about three thousand men.

This also includes communications and logistical support.

Therefore, the actual number of troops participating in the battle was only a little over two thousand per army group.

In addition, there are already more than two thousand casualties.

This is almost equivalent to an entire army group losing its combat effectiveness.

This is precisely why Long Tianxiang believes the situation is serious.

Jiang Chen must develop the existing second-stage nanotechnology as soon as possible.

They quickly deployed them to the battlefield, leaving no time for testing and verification.

If their nanotechnology can be put into practical use.

The pressure on the front lines will be greatly relieved.

At least it can confront the opponent head-on.

In reality, the war has reached this point.

The United States suffered even greater losses.

The casualties have reached more than 20,000.

It was nearly ten times the size of the space city, but the enemy had a larger and more numerous force.

They are equipped with advanced technology and are focusing on defense this time, demonstrating their firm determination.

This put the three major army groups in a rather passive position.

"According to my estimate, the second phase of nanotechnology will take at least two more months before it can be officially deployed."

"This is not yet included in the testing and verification cycle."

Jiang Chen stated calmly, but he was also helpless.

Because all research institutions are currently working on nanotechnology.

Even if Jiang Chen rejoins the research and development.

This cycle is also difficult to shorten.

Moreover, Jiang Chen is currently too busy to spare any attention.

In addition to the Space City forces carrying out strikes against the three major resource areas of the United States.

The Southeastern State, where Jiang Chen is located, also needs to remain vigilant.

He needs to be here to oversee and direct operations.

Therefore, the current situation can only be resolved by the three of them on their own.

Jiang Chen had the will but not the ability.

Even if one wanted to help, it would be difficult to lend a hand.

"No, the deadline is too late, there's simply not enough time."

Long Tianxiang shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

If this continues, the casualties will be far too heavy.

"You should try to solve it yourselves; you've overcome many difficulties."

"General Manager Mo is hoping that the space city will provide other cutting-edge equipment."

"The key to determining the outcome of the battle."

"It always depends on the subsequent decisions made by the commander."

Jiang Chen was too lazy to waste any more words.

After all, those who can occupy this position...

There was no need for preaching; they understood their current situation on their own.

Jiang Chen's task is to maintain stability in the battle.

As for other matters...

That was no longer within Jiang Chen's considerations. Reaching his level meant victory or defeat was irrelevant.

In truth, Jiang Chen was no longer deeply moved.

Everything is left to fate; as the saying goes, man can conquer nature.

In reality, this approach is no longer suitable for someone at Jiang Chen's level.
This is similar to when a company expands to a certain size.

Trying to change the overall environment solely through one's own efforts.

This is often difficult to achieve because it involves strategic planning at the national level.

It is not something that individual companies can decide.

Therefore, what Jiang Chen needs to do now is to adapt to the times.

Going with the flow is always wiser than going against it.

Going against the current might sound inspiring.

Unfortunately, the real world is often cruel.

There aren't many legendary underdog stories, nor many inspirational tales.

The battle in the space city is not yet over.

The situation in the Northwest region has thus reached a stalemate.

Jiang Chen saw this and was very anxious.

The predicament Liang Zhenshan is facing is Jiang Chen's most pressing concern right now.

Therefore, Jiang Chen would take time every day to communicate with Liang Zhenshan about the progress of the situation.

We will provide as much support as possible.

After all, the Southeast and Northwest regions are not far apart.

The two places are adjacent to each other.

In addition, Jiang Chen is currently stationed in Southeast Continent.

On the one hand, we must guard against the United States sending troops.

On the other hand, it can also provide reinforcements at any time.

Therefore, Jiang Chen cannot easily leave Southeast Asia, this strategic location.

If conditions permit, he would certainly like to return to the space city to oversee the research and development work.

But now we can only leave it to the research team there.

"It seems the situation has indeed reached a stalemate."

After receiving Liang Zhenshan's report.

Jiang Chen nodded calmly, without blaming the other party.

After all, the United States has never been an easy opponent.

Moreover, the war situation in the Northwest region is extremely complex.

If Jiang Chen were to personally take command...

They might not be able to handle it better than Liang Zhenshan.

"My daughter is currently being held hostage, and her identity has been partially exposed."

"While not fatal, the situation is quite passive."

"You must resolve this issue as soon as possible."

"In other words, I cannot launch a counterattack until the battle for Space City is over."

"Everything is ready now, except for the final push."

"The key depends on the progress on your end."

"Once you finish your battle, my plan will be fully launched."

"At that time, whether it's the United States or those three countries, even if they possess extraordinary abilities..."

"They can't escape my control either."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, having complete faith in Liang Zhenshan's abilities.

Unfortunately, the current situation is not optimistic.

"We're also at a stalemate here in our space city because the United States has demonstrated strong resolve and military strength."

"It will be difficult to get them to back down in the short term."

"So you'll need to be patient. I'm also waiting for the right opportunity."

War is never something that can be won overnight.

Rather, it is the result of long-term planning.

No one knows this better than them.

In fact, Jiang Chen had not expected the United States to take such a tough stance at first.

Or perhaps they harbored doubts, given their history of repeated defeats.

The United States still hasn't grasped the reality.

But the other party possesses cutting-edge nanotechnology.

Jiang Chen didn't say much.

"Your space city possesses so many advanced technologies."

"There are also numerous military talents and a well-developed logistics system."

"They haven't even broken through the US resource zone defenses after half a month."

"I must say, the people you've trained are no different from good-for-nothings."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was immediately stunned.

No one has ever dared to mock the soldiers of Space City like this.

This is blatant humiliation and extremely aggressive.

Every member of the Space City is an elite.

Those senior commanders are even more rare talents.

Now, in Liang Zhenshan's eyes, they have all become useless people.

You are nothing more than a hermit living deep in the mountains.

Calling you a hermit is an understatement.

Where do they get the audacity to criticize my Space City troops?

This is clearly a direct slap in the face.

Doesn't Jiang Chen have any pride?
Although he did admire Leung Chun-shan.

But at this moment, I can't help but feel displeased.

"Liang Zhenshan, that's an interesting thing to say."

"It seems you have a deep-seated prejudice against the members of Space City."

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhenshan smiled calmly.

He directly confronted Jiang Chen.

"I'm not mocking Space City."

"I just want to make it clear that in my eyes, all the so-called talents you have are just trash."

Goodness, that's off the charts in terms of aggression.

To speak frankly to Jiang Chen's face.

Anyone with a modicum of backbone would find it unbearable.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had not been looked down upon like this in a long time.

At this moment, he was naturally extremely dissatisfied.

"So you're saying you can do better than me, these generals?"

"Why not appoint you as a senior general and command this army group?"

"I'd like to see what you can accomplish with this army."
The Third Army Group is currently commanded by Deng Tianlong.

But he was, after all, a newly appointed general with little experience.

It wasn't that Jiang Chen was questioning his abilities.

Since Liang Zhenshan has made such outrageous remarks.

Jiang Chen planned to have Liang Zhenshan and Deng Tianlong jointly command the Third Army Group, serving as its commander and deputy commander respectively.

Liang Zhenshan naturally had to take on the role of commander-in-chief.

After all, it was he who made the boast.

Deng Tianlong will temporarily assume the position of deputy.

Because of the Third Army Group and the current situation of the mining area it is stationed in.

Deng Tianlong was more familiar with the area, which made it easier for him to hand over the work to Liang Zhenshan.

"Heh, if you trust me, I'll command three army groups."

"End the war within half a month."

"If we can defeat the United States by then, everything is up to you."

These remarks are indeed extremely arrogant.

According to Jiang Chen's estimate, the war will last at least two or three months.

This is still a conservative estimate.

In reality, it may take longer and result in more casualties.

Even if Jiang Chen personally directed it.

It also requires the same amount of time.

Now Liang Zhenshan dares to boast like this.

This is truly unacceptable.

They really don't respect these highly skilled people at all.

"Liang Zhenshan, there's no joking in the military. Are you sure?"

"Those who boast in front of me never end well."

"Don't assume we have an important partnership."

"I will make an exception."

"I'll give you one more chance; rephrase your words."

Jiang Chen's tone became much more serious when he said this.

He wasn't joking.

Liang Zhenshan, however, remained calm and unhurried.

He responded calmly as always.

"I'll say it again: the battle in Space City won't end within half a month."

"I can only conclude that all of you are worthless, and I will never take that back."

Alright, alright, since you're going to play it this way.

Jiang Chen laughed in his anger.

I'm too lazy to waste any more words right now.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, the battlefield will tell; anyone can talk big.

"Come work in Space City."

"Do you want me to pick you up, or do you want to come here yourself?"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Yes, he has made up his mind.

The original plan was to let the other side command an army group.

Unexpectedly, the other party had even greater ambitions.

He wanted to command the three major army groups, but Jiang Chen still agreed.

Such a major personnel change carries extremely high risks.

A temporary change of commander on the battlefield, especially at such a high level.

It was the most dangerous of all.

If a mistake is made, the whole thing will be lost.

But Jiang Chen didn't have a better option at the moment.

He still trusted Liang Zhenshan's character.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have become close friends.

This was Jiang Chen's simplest consideration. (End of Chapter)
