Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

Everyone was still making final preparations, and Jiang Chuan was starting to get anxious. Tony had returned to his country and was beginning to make final arrangements.

"So this war was truly unavoidable, wasn't it?"

"That's true. And it's fair to say that if we continue to play defensively, we're likely to suffer a crushing defeat. Atlantis must not become the main battlefield. We must hold our ground no matter what and do everything we can to make our army capable of fighting back."

President Jones was deeply conflicted upon hearing this. The reason was simple: in previous conflicts, the country had lost ground first and then recovered; this time, if resistance were to be launched, it would require extreme tenacity, and the country was currently in a phase of economic recovery.

"I think we can consider implementing a policy of universal conscription this time. In any case, we must prepare the people and inform them how brutal the upcoming battle will be."

At this time, Kyushu had launched a full mobilization, with all military personnel, including reservists, entering a state of first-level combat readiness.

In particular, previously stored weapons and equipment, regardless of their performance, have been put back into service.

Jiangchuan's factories are operating at full capacity for final production, with new weapons rolling off the production line one after another. Even multiple arms factories around the world are racing against time to complete their production.

Europe is also making intensive preparations, and even the newly discovered areas are undergoing final arrangements.

This time, even the Celts of the inner Earth have begun to take action.

Despite their comfortable life here, the most powerful force of this army is still the power of its third eye.

However, due to limited understanding of the current situation, Celtic had to convince everyone first. An inevitable war was about to begin.

The old village chief had already disappeared.

"Have those people on the surface already noticed my unusual behavior? In any case, we must let the tyrant make the first move. It seems time is running out."

By this time, the tyrant had actually completed his initial accumulation of wealth and was now a powerful and well-equipped army.

The old village chief summoned his trusted confidants and sent intelligence to the palace through secret channels.

The tyrant was overjoyed upon seeing the news.

Sure enough, he appeared without warning the next day and publicly announced that the whole country was in a state of war.

"What?"……

The ministers were shocked. Had this tyrant really gone mad?

Everyone knows that the current preparations are not sufficient, especially since humanity has already deployed its most powerful warships to the area.

"The true strength of our navy is still unclear. If we are defeated in the first battle, it will be difficult to deal with the consequences. Their submarines are extremely powerful. Isn't this situation important? Aren't you aware of the current situation?"

At this moment, everyone had their own thoughts. In order to establish a more effective course of action, the tyrant also had to demonstrate his own strength.

"Do you really think humans are that powerful? Let me tell you, we're not weak either. Regardless of what they think, let's complete our deployment first, understand?"

The tyrant had actually made arrangements, but the generals were deeply conflicted. They felt that while their own army was strong, humanity was not to be underestimated, especially since humans had formed a coalition, and their supplies were currently insufficient.

"We're now in their territory—Antarctica, as they say. How we even launch an attack is a problem."

"With the global strategy set, we should just go for it and not worry too much."

Thus, the tyrant appointed three generals to be in charge of this battle.

"Let me make this clear: if anyone is unwilling to fight, I will immediately replace them. There are plenty of generals here who are eager to make a name for themselves."

Since that was the case, there was no room for maneuver. The three generals had no choice but to begin preparations and immediately commence operations. Just then, the old village chief sent a secret report to the ground: the tyrant was preparing to make his move.

In fact, the old village chief didn't care about the outcome of the war at all. His intention was very clear: he had to make the tyrant and humanity suffer heavy losses so that he could reap the benefits.

Jiang Chuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing the news.

"This is truly a scheming schemer with ulterior motives."

Just then, the old village chief's ex-girlfriend sent a message: she had found the former emperor, who was willing to come to the surface to help.

Thus, the two opposing camps were officially locked in a stalemate. When the fleet detected the movement, the tyrant, who was well-prepared, immediately ordered three generals to lead the fleet in an underwater attack.

"Report! Enemy tracks detected. Should we engage?"

Instantly, ground troops detected the unusual activity. All submarines immediately went on high alert, and the Atlantean forces arrived at their designated areas as ordered.

They had constructed the first line of defense, but whether they could coordinate effectively remained to be seen. The prepared human army quickly assembled into a massive battle group and immediately launched an offensive against the enemy.

Of course, everyone is well aware that if an unexpected incident occurs, it will be quite troublesome, and they will need to find a solution on their own.

The actual battle situation was indeed extremely tense, and the ensuing fighting quickly escalated to a fever pitch. The appearance of all human submarines dealt a further blow to the three generals. To break through the blockade, they had to find another way.

Left with no other option, they had to deploy heavy submarines to fight back, while the humans were already on high alert.

"Keep attacking! We must suppress them no matter what."

This was the first battle, and there was no room for error. The Atlantean army also displayed formidable fighting power at this time.

Sure enough, one of the generals discovered that the underwater advance was blocked—if they tried to break through underwater, they would likely hit an impenetrable wall, and they had to find another way.

"Let's try another approach. Let the troops continue their feint attack, but don't overextend. We'll enter the ground directly from above; that's the only way."

At this moment, the tyrant's air force began to take effect. Human air forces were already prepared, but the unique environment of Antarctica necessitated ensuring safety during combat—it remained uncertain whether human armies could withstand the extreme cold.

As a precaution, Jiangchuan chose to deploy drones and pre-deployed robot forces, which have formed a massive protective network in the area.

The first phase of the battle began, and various situations arose one after another. However, humanity's defensive tactics made it difficult for the three generals to advance.

"What's going on? How can the opponent be so powerful?"

In the current situation, successfully securing opportunities should be a stressful undertaking. However, properly handling these challenges has become particularly crucial.

"Ugh!"

Everyone is currently quite hesitant; if this delay continues, the situation will become even more complicated. Ultimately, it depends on what strategy they choose to take.

When the news reached the tyrant's ears, he was furious and immediately issued a strict order, demanding that the three generals break through the siege within three days.

"How can we fight this war?"

One general was extremely distressed. The tyrant's death order made it impossible for them to continue with the original plan, but what could they do now? If they remained inactive, they might face being replaced on the spot, or even being thrown into prison.

The problem is, this is the only way. (End of Chapter)
