I can find treasures in my dreams.

Faced with his girlfriend's questions about "unconventional warfare".

Zhuang Jun began to speak eloquently: "Currently, the war on Canglan Star is mainly divided into two forms."

"One type is conventional warfare, in which the parties involved usually use traditional weapons such as aircraft, tanks, artillery, and warships. The number of casualties in this type of war is not particularly large."

"Another type is the peace bomb war, in which the warring parties drop peace bombs on each other's territory."

"A large number of peaceful bombs would destroy cities, kill millions or even tens of millions of civilians, and even completely destroy a country or the entire world, and the residual nuclear contamination would last for a long time."

"As for unconventional warfare, it is a third new form of warfare. This type of warfare does not use peaceful weapons, but it is significantly different from conventional warfare."

"In unconventional warfare, fewer combat personnel participate; instead, a large number of intelligent unmanned combat equipment are used."

"The combat command center, which is specifically responsible for directing the battle, is not a human commander, but a super-intelligent combat AI."

"The job of human commanders has become much simpler: to formulate war plans and determine which targets must be destroyed and which targets can be spared."

"During the war, human commanders also need to adjust their battle plans in a timely manner according to the situation on the battlefield in order to adapt to the new battlefield situation."

"In general, unconventional warfare can greatly reduce casualties. It is possible that the casualties in a large-scale war will not exceed one thousand."

Gona was astonished: "Aren't you talking about robot battles in science fiction movies? My goodness! Has your Great Xia already achieved something like that in the movies?"

Zhuang Jun smiled and said, "Pretty much! There's definitely a big difference between real-world unmanned warfare and scenes in movies, but your understanding isn't too wrong."

Guna then remembered something else: "By the way, I heard that a while ago, Great Xia built a smart port in the south of the Azik Alliance, and hundreds of transport ships arrive every day. Could this be the equipment used to launch unconventional wars?"

Zhuang Jun hummed in agreement: "To possess the strength for unconventional warfare, there is a very important prerequisite: having an extremely powerful intelligent manufacturing industry."

Gona nodded and said, "Your intelligent industry is indeed very impressive."

Zhuang Jun felt that his girlfriend could only say she understood, but did not actually comprehend what "extremely powerful intelligent industry" meant.

He gave an example: "Do you know how many drones and battlefield mechanical hounds the Great Xia has prepared for this war?"

Gona blinked and guessed a number: "3000 million?"

This was the limit of her imagination; the Azik woman felt that 3000 million was a terrifying number.

Zhuang Jun smiled and said, "That's too few! According to the numbers you mentioned, the Gameni Federation has more than 3000 million soldiers. That means each soldier has one drone against every soldier. This is hardly an unconventional war."

"How many should that be?" asked Gona.

Zhuang Jun softly uttered a number: "The total cost of all models of unmanned equipment is 50 billion!"

Gona stared in disbelief: "So many?!"

Zhuang Jun said casually, "Actually, it's not that much. With the current powerful industrial capacity of Great Xia, if we operate at full capacity, we can finish it in a month."

The phrase "It was done in a month" deeply shocked Gorna, as it completely overturned her understanding.

She stared at her boyfriend, her face full of surprise, and asked, "Since your Great Xia is so powerful, why don't you just conquer the entire Azure Star?"

Zhuang Jun shook his head and said, "There's no need for that, because there's no benefit to occupying Canglan Star."

After thinking for a moment, Gona said, "That makes sense. If we take over, we'll have to worry about the basic needs of 100 billion people. That's too much trouble. Right now, we only need to manage 20 billion people in the Great Xia."

She added, "Anyway, the whole world knows that the Daxia people are superior to others. All the beautiful Azk women I know want to marry a Daxia man."

She even gave an example: "Last time I returned from the battlefield, I went back to my hometown, and I saw a Daxia man openly embracing two Azik girls on the street."

Zhuang Jun wasn't surprised: "I've seen quite a few myself."

Gona covered her mouth and laughed, "As far as I know, many Azik men have strong opinions about the Great Xia people marrying many of their own beautiful women. They often complain online that the Great Xia people have raised the cost of getting married."

Even now, many men in the Great Xia Dynasty still maintain the custom of paying "betrothal gifts," but the exorbitant dowries of hundreds of thousands are long gone; usually, only symbolic dowries of twenty to thirty thousand are given.

When have foreign women ever seen such a practice where "you get a sum of money as soon as you marry into the family"?

Especially now that the purchasing power of Xia Yuan is very high, it would be a huge sum of money if converted into their own currency.

As the war between the Azik Alliance and the Gameni has dragged on for so long, more and more Bactrians have entered Azik, and more and more Bactrians have married Azik women. Now, most Azik people know about the dowry.

Compared to the generosity of the Bactrians, the Azik women were naturally very dissatisfied with the stinginess of their own men.

To some extent, the Bactrians did significantly increase the cost of marriage for the Aztecs, so it's understandable that the Aztecs harbored resentment.

Zhuang Jun didn't care at all: "They only dare to have opinions in their hearts, but they don't dare to do anything in reality, otherwise Da Xia will definitely make them pay a heavy price."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Once this war ends and the Gameni Federation is dismantled, they will have witnessed the Great Xia's formidable war capabilities, and no one in the world will dare to voice any objections."

Gona doesn't care about the fact that men in her country can't find wives: "I think so too."

She changed the subject: "The war is about to begin, don't you have any missions?"

Zhuang Jun sighed: "I would like to be assigned a mission to go to the battlefield and kill more Gameni people, but the higher-ups think I am the best host of the Juntian Lingbao Eye, so they don't give me any chance to go to the battlefield."

Gona, however, strongly supported the decision: "Only by presiding over the Lingbao Eye can you make a greater contribution to the Great Xia. If something happens to you on the battlefield, it will be a loss for the country."

She used to fight bravely on the battlefield and support her boyfriend in his courageous battles. But after a near-death experience, her personality underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

Zhuang Jun, however, was sullen: "Now the higher-ups only let me monitor the battlefield through the Spirit Treasure Eye. It's really no fun just watching from the sidelines."

Gorna smiled and said, "I think it's fine."

Midnight.

Under the world's watchful eyes.

The Great Xia launched a special military operation against the Gameni Federation, codenamed "Ultimate Destruction," which officially commenced on an unprecedentedly large scale.

Zhuang Jun initially thought it was "meaningless to just watch," but now that he saw the first wave of attack from the sky, his opinion completely changed.

This is the unique global perspective of the Lingbao Eye, with an astonishingly wide field of view, unaffected by light or obstacles.

Therefore, Zhuang Jun secretly gave it a name – Eye of the Gods.

Because it really does feel like a deity observing the human world.

Looking down, he saw that along the vast border, rows of intelligent drone carriers opened their launch canopies and launched stealth drones.

Each drone is about the length of an adult's forearm, and they immediately activate optical stealth mode after taking off. Two years ago, achieving optical stealth was extremely expensive; equipping a drone with this feature would have added at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to the cost.

Two years later, thanks to the rapid advancements in engineering technology and large-scale production at Daxia, optical stealth technology has become incredibly affordable, and even ordinary drones can now utilize it.

This operation utilized more than 20,000 transport vehicles, each capable of carrying up to 1,000 drones, resulting in an astonishing 20 million drones being deployed in the first wave.

Even the transport vehicles are coated with a simple optical stealth coating, which can be activated by a weak current, making them invisible from a distance.

Under the cover of darkness, tens of thousands of transport vehicles became even more concealed.

This is precisely the biggest advantage of "making technology affordable"—everything can be made to hide, are you scared yet?
This is simply unimaginable for any country other than Great Xia.

From a divine perspective, one can ignore optical invisibility.

From Zhuang Jun's perspective, swarms of black dots flew toward the defensive line that Gameni had established on the border.

He knew that this was a new type of drone recently deployed by the military—the Silent Hunter.

They not only possess powerful stealth capabilities, but their flight noise is also extremely low; a normal person cannot hear them from ten meters away.

The Silent Hunter is loaded with extremely high explosives, and its self-destruction can cover an astonishing radius of twenty meters.

Their range is also far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, with the furthest flight exceeding 500 kilometers.

But the most terrifying thing is that the Silent Hunter has a very intelligent hunting system.

They "know" how to use the environment to launch attacks in the most covert way, maximizing their lethality.

To put it bluntly, every Silent Hunter is a cunning and seasoned hunter.

Zhuang Jun observed the enemy's position for a while longer and saw no unusual activity. It was clear that the Gameni people had no idea that the Daxia people had launched an attack.

*
The Canaan-Niger border.

The bloody tug-of-war that lasted for more than a year led the Gameni people to work hard to build a cluster of fortresses along the border.

The Gamenes certainly wouldn't have done this if their opponent was just an Azik.

However, the opponent is the powerful Great Xia. The Federation's high command is afraid that the Great Xia army will push back into the Federation's territory, which would be a huge loss of face for the Federation. That's why they spared no expense in building a large number of fortifications.

at this time.

Captain Caspian, recipient of the Union Second Class Loyalist Medal, is delivering a passionate pre-battle speech: "My lads, you must stay put in the fortress and do not wander off."

"Daxia's missiles and rockets are incredibly powerful, with such high accuracy that it's unbelievable. Even after flying 200 kilometers, a rocket can still accurately fly into a hole."

"Damn the Great Xia people are also equipped with an intelligent decision-making system. Once the drone detects a target, the intelligent decision-making system will instantly issue a fire command and immediately launch missiles or rockets, greatly improving the battlefield response speed."

"Over the past year, we've suffered enough from this thing. I've personally witnessed many of our men being blown to bits, leaving not even a trace of them, and there was no way to even collect their bodies."

"Why can't federal scientists develop something this good? The federal government gives them so much funding every year, yet they can't produce anything useful. Our missiles are also frequently jammed."

"Okay, let's not get off topic. Based on my personal experience, the first wave of attacks from the Great Xia people will definitely be missiles and rockets. As long as you stay in the strongest part of the bunker, you will definitely survive."

Captain Caspian concluded his speech at the opportune moment: "Guys, let's fight bravely for the Federation and kick the Great Xia people's asses with all our might!"

Actually, when he said "kicking butt," he had no confidence at all.

Because the fighting power of the Great Xia army was too terrifying, he understood very well that the Great Xia people had clearly not gone all out in the past year, making it difficult for the Federation army to advance any further south.

Now that the leader of Great Xia is saying he will launch a full-scale attack on the Federation, can the Federation army really stop him?
Captain Caspian sighed inwardly, praying that he would survive this battle.

Ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement on the battlefield.

Twenty minutes passed, and the missiles and rockets still hadn't landed.

Captain Caspian turned to his adjutant and couldn't help but ask, "Leant, do you think the Great Xia people are strategically deceiving us, and that they haven't actually launched an attack at all?"

Leant didn't know how to answer, nor did he dare to give a random answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Boss, you'd better ask the higher-ups."

Captain Caspian turned to look at the old-fashioned telephone next to him and shrugged: "Never mind, this thing is too much trouble to operate."

In order to counter the electromagnetic suppression of the Great Xia, the Federation was forced to switch to the old-fashioned wired telephone. Although it was a bit more troublesome to use, at least they didn't have to worry about sudden malfunctions.

Another twenty minutes passed.

The battlefield remained quiet.

Captain Caspian finally confirmed his suspicions: "This is definitely a Daxia plot. I think there's a high probability that a fight won't break out today."

The adjutant cautioned, "Boss, we'd better be careful."

Captain Caspian, however, had his own logic: "As far as I know, the Bactrians are hopelessly obsessed with ancient Eastern strategies and want to exhaust our energy in this way. What's it called again?"

The adjutant's lips twitched slightly, and he provided the answer: "A strategy to wear down the enemy!"

"Snapped!"

Captain Caspian slammed his fist on the table: "That's right!"

He looked at another soldier and ordered, "Get me a cup of coffee!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately went to do the work.

The adjutant sounded uneasy: "Boss, I have a bad feeling!"

Captain Caspian said casually, "Buddy, I learned a Chinese idiom yesterday called 'the man of Qi who worries about the sky falling,' and I think you're just like that."

The adjutant gave an awkward smile.

Unbeknownst to these soldiers, dozens of Silent Hunter drones had quietly approached within a dozen kilometers.

Based on footage captured by drone cameras, the super-intelligent AI instantly created a digital model of the fortification and deduced the optimal attack route.

However, in order to coordinate the timing of the attack and achieve the greatest deterrent effect, the attack has not been launched for the time being.

Once the attack begins, it will be a catastrophic and devastating event. (End of Chapter)
