However, Bronya estimated that such a situation was unlikely to occur...?
After determining the next course of action, Bronya was ready to depart at any time. However, before setting off, Walton and Bronya had a detailed discussion, one about some details that Bronya needed to pay attention to during the operation, and another about a problem that Bronya needed to be aware of.
That must be Yuri. Yuri must already know about Bronya's existence. Although he may not know how powerful Bronya is in combat, he will definitely take precautions and even try to capture Bronya as an experimental subject.
Therefore, he hoped that when Bronya went to the Virgin Islands, she would try not to take action herself, but instead focus on commanding from the sidelines.
Bronya was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. I will decide based on the situation."
Is it simply a matter of deciding based on the situation?
Walton was well aware of the advantages Bronya brought them. First, the intelligence about this raid. Without Bronya's warning and the advance preparation of a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and a large number of reconnaissance and defense forces, he couldn't even imagine what kind of losses the London fortress would have faced.
Even with prior preparations, the terrifying aerial fortress still forced the Paradox Engine to take off ahead of schedule... This undoubtedly demonstrates the power of Yuri's secret weapon; without preparations... the casualties would likely have been even more severe.
Furthermore, Walton was well aware that the garrison on the west side of London Fortress had intercepted a stealth unit of Yuri's forces from entering the fortress. Most importantly, there was the issue of the Paradox Engine's energy. Without the Power Engine resolving the energy problem, they wouldn't have been able to so decisively activate the time-stop ability to eliminate Yuri's raiding force.
Walton rubbed his temples. Really... where did all these "what ifs" come from? If... they've already come this far, there's no more time to think about "what ifs."
"Good luck, Bronya. I will command the Paradox Engine and the fleet below to cross the Isles of Scilly and gather the other London survivors. After you've dealt with the situation there, bring all your troops to join us immediately. Don't worry about anything else; we'll take everything with us!"
Bronya nodded, then a question suddenly occurred to her, "What about...the high-ranking officials?"
Bronya suddenly realized that there seemed to be... a bank on the Paradox Engine?
When this issue was brought up, Walton's expression became awkward... "This issue... some officials died in this raid, and another group of officials, along with supporters of Destiny Technology, entered the Paradox Engine."
“They will continue to fund us because we promised them a guaranteed victory. They don’t know what we will face; they just want to…keep making money.”
At this point, Walton's face was filled with mockery and anger. Bronya raised an eyebrow. "They're just capitalists... In their eyes, all they care about is money. That's good. We've squeezed their money dry, trying to convert the soldiers' supplies and rewards into tangible goods instead of money."
"This way, we can ensure that the largest portion of the funds stays in our own hands and doesn't fall into the hands of those bloodsuckers. So... do you still think capitalism is good?"
Bronya's sudden question left Walton speechless... He remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head helplessly. "I'm leaving now. I don't know if you'll have the chance to think about this in the future."
After all... it's still uncertain whether the Allied forces will survive this battle.
Bronya warped onto an aircraft carrier below and immediately found the carrier's captain through the soldiers. After stating her mission objective, and with Commander Walton's instructions, a small fleet, under Bronya's command, headed straight for the Virgin Islands.
Bronya stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier, looking up at the magnificent ship in the sky. To be honest, Bronya felt that the size of the Paradox Engine far exceeded that of a typical interstellar ship. Even the battlecruisers in the Koprulu Sector did not have such an outrageous size.
As for the most widely circulated claim of a length of 24 kilometers... in reality, it doesn't exist at all. The Spear of Adun is only 74 kilometers long. It seems absurd that a civilization on a single planet could build a giant ship that is 24 kilometers long.
According to Bronya's estimation, the Paradox Engine is about 2 kilometers in size, which is slightly larger than a regular human battlecruiser. After all, the internal pocket space and various operating equipment require a lot of space.
In addition, due to technological limitations, many areas appeared rather bulky or redundant, but Allied scientists were unable to overcome these limitations.
This is the pinnacle of Allied technology, indeed, the ultimate technological achievement. They cannot go any further unless a breakthrough is made in some aspect of engineering technology.
But now, it's too late.
As the giant ship in the sky slowly disappeared from her sight, Bronya turned around and was surprised to find that many of the crew members on the aircraft carrier kept turning their eyes to her, and there were even quite a few crew members standing behind her staring at her.
Bronya thought for a moment, then warped to the captain's cabin. "Captain, please turn on the ship's intercom. I have something to say."
"No problem, Ms. Bronya, please feel free to do as you please."
After confirming that the equipment was turned on, Bronya paused, then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Bronya Zaychek, and I am in charge of this rescue operation."
"Next, I will explain in detail our mission and precautions. Everyone, please listen carefully and do not miss anything. What we are about to face is very likely to be a battle like that of purgatory."
Chapter 274: Counterattack
After sailing for several days, Bronya's fleet finally entered the Virgin Islands and quickly made contact with the Pacific frontline base that was struggling in the Virgin Islands. The aircraft carrier was the first to join the battle.
Under the operator's control, the Wasp drones took off like a honeycomb and flew towards the distant battlefield. Bronya also used warp to arrive on the battlefield in the next step.
The moment she landed, the roar of artillery shells, the howl of gunfire, and the whistling of bullets filled Bronya's ears. Bunny suddenly burst out in armored vehicle form! Bronya opened the door and got in. "Let's begin! Quickly, deal with this trouble first, then prepare to retrieve the technology!"
Immediately afterwards, a blue and white armored vehicle suddenly appeared on the battlefield of the island. The terrifying blue shells caused a horrific annihilation effect the moment they hit the ground, and all vehicles and infantry within range disappeared without leaving a trace.
Blue beams of light were fired continuously at the Wolfhound helicopter in the sky, and a single beam could slice the Wolfhound's body in two.
Even as the massive Kirov slowly approached the island, countless tiny blue missiles suddenly hurtled towards the Kirov airship in the sky. Seconds later, a burst of blue flames exploded on the surface of the Kirov, and the Kirov airship completely lost power, its surface turning into a sea of fire as it plummeted downwards.
The enemy on the island was quickly wiped out by Bronya, who suddenly appeared. The Pacific front didn't even have time to react before they saw the blue, terrifying shells annihilate the Soviet Union's sturdy steel vehicles, and the slender blue beams of light cutting through the air like Wolfhound helicopters. The fearsome Kirov airships were completely wiped out under the dense missile attack.
Immediately following, support from a distant naval aircraft carrier followed, and the Soviet/Russian ships on the sea were quickly cleared out. The Pacific base also seized the opportunity and quickly eliminated all the remaining Soviet/Russian submarines.
The situation at the Pacific front base, which was originally locked in a fierce battle, was completely reversed in just a few tens of minutes.
The soldiers on the Pacific front stared at Bronya standing next to the bunny armored vehicle, their eyes filled with incomprehension, confusion, and admiration.
Bronya surveyed the soldiers on the Pacific Front. The main members of the Pacific Front included Area 11 of this world, so she could see very familiar Asian faces among these soldiers, and quite a few of them.
With the arrival of the support fleet, the Pacific defenders knew that their reinforcements had come.
At this moment, the commander of the Pacific front also came to Bronya in person, bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Miss Bronya, you and your fleet have been a great help to us!"
"But the Soviet troops are still entrenched here, and our satellites have also detected a large number of Yuri's naval forces in the rear, which are suspected to have established a base on the islands behind the Soviet positions. Fortunately, they did not attack us."
The commanders on the Pacific front breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, they could not hold out much longer. The Soviet offensive was becoming increasingly fierce, and they would soon be unable to hold on.
Are there no spirit beacons nearby?
Bronya inquired, since the Soviet army was mind-controlled, there must be mind beacons or mind control amplifiers nearby responsible for transmitting them.
"Sorry, we did not find any mind beacons or mind control amplifiers. If we had, we would have destroyed them with the weather controllers long ago."
Bronya's gaze fell upon the island's beta test. She could clearly see that the weather controller, located in the base's beta test and leaning against the island's cliff, possessed a more mechanical aesthetic compared to the one in the game. It lacked the smooth, rounded appearance of the game version and looked more like a... prototype.
"A prototype?"
"Yes, this is the prototype of our weather controller. Because we cannot evacuate this area, we built it here with the limited resources to protect the base. As you can see, it is just a prototype. This is all the resources and tools we can do."
With limited construction tools, technical personnel, and resources on the Pacific front, it was already quite an achievement to resist the Soviet offensive after it had been subjected to mind control and to deal with the potential threat of Yuri's navy.
"I understand. Now that you're continuing to manage this base, what are your plans?"
The commander adjusted his glasses. "Yes, with your support, we can launch a successful counterattack. First, we will recharge the weather controller, attack an outpost near the Soviet island, eliminate it, and then teleport our other mobile construction vehicle there."
"Then, we'll expand our operations on that island, eliminate the Soviet forces, and then take care of Yuri. Then we can leave this hellhole!"
The commander's tone was slightly agitated. Bronya nodded. It was basically the same as in the original storyline, so let's do it that way.
"Command of the fleet is now in your hands. Take me to see the weather controller. You will be in full command of the next phase of the operation, and I will assist you in the battle."
The commander was stunned. He hadn't expected Bronya to hand over command so readily and decisively. He had been worried that the commander who came to provide support might try to take over his command, but instead, the other party gave him command of their fleet.
Seeing the commander's surprise, Bronya smiled. "I'm not good at commanding. I'm just a soldier, and a soldier... should fight under the command of a commander to maximize his effectiveness."
"Next, we'll defend against the Soviet offensive. I'll go check the weather controller; perhaps I can help you improve it. By the way, I'm also a...scientist."
Bronya walked towards the base's inner testing area while the commander was still in a daze. After a long while, the commander, who had finally come to his senses, scratched his head in confusion. Warrior plus scientist? It sounded like... you originally thought the other party was a harmless scientist, but the other party picked up a chair and beat you up even more fiercely than you.
"A warrior and a scientist... Dr. Sig is like that too. Do people like this kind of combination nowadays? And... isn't she cold?"
The girl named Bronya was dressed as if she were attending a lavish banquet... With so much skin exposed, wasn't she cold?
"Forget about that for now. After being pinned down by the Soviet army for so long, we can finally start our counterattack!"
Chapter 275: Yuri is watching you
Standing in front of the weather control device, Bronya's gaze wandered over the somewhat crude instrument. As she observed, several floating robot assistants beside her helped her scan the device.
This is an assistant robot that Bronya temporarily created on her way here, controlled by Little Rabbit, to help her scan, analyze, record, and so on.
Bronya's purpose in coming here was simple: to obtain the blueprints for the weather controller technology and related technical data.
By scanning here, Bronya can obtain construction blueprints, and later, when recycling technology, she can obtain the corresponding technology data.
Moreover, the origin of the Foehn winds also originated from the Allied weather control technology. It's like she got the weather controller, which is equivalent to getting the origin of the storms. Why not do this deal that kills two birds with one stone?
Bronya's scanning speed wasn't very fast, after all, it was a brand new technology, and every area needed to be scanned very meticulously.
The scan lasted for nearly three hours before it was completed. Bronya then asked the researchers behind her for the design blueprints for the weather control instrument, as well as relevant data on weather control technology. The researchers, considering that she was one of their own, handed over the technology to Bronya without much hesitation.
While Bronya quickly analyzed and recorded this data, she also rapidly incorporated the weather control technology into her mind and deeply recorded it in the Herrscher core, since this was a technology that might be used in future interstellar exploration.
The recording and analysis of the drawings and related data took a long time. When Bronya looked up, the sky was already beginning to darken.
"Studying really is a time-killer... Oh well, that's enough."
Bronya looked around and saw that there were no other researchers around. Perfect, she didn't need to disperse them anymore, so she could start working right away!
Bronya looked up, took control of all the cameras in the area, sealed off the surrounding passages, and then summoned the robot-shaped bunny. "Come on, bunny, it's time for us!"
Bronya clasped her hands together and wiggled them for a moment. The little rabbit gave a thumbs-up and patted its chest, meaning, "Leave it to her!"
Next, the two of them need to complete the modification of the weather controller before tonight. In Bronya's plan, after the modification is completed, the weather controller will be able to complete a charge-up within two hours and launch a lightning storm strike. A long-term deep charge-up can summon an even more terrifying lightning storm in the target area, accompanied by huge hailstones, which is truly a natural disaster.
...........
The next morning, the Allied commander, who was about to launch the attack, went to the area where the weather control system was located to check its status. There, he saw Bronya checking the system and asked with slight surprise, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Bronya turned her head and shook her head. "There's no need. Sleep isn't essential for me. I can go a month without sleep in a critical moment and it won't be a big deal."
After saying that, he tossed the tablet computer in his hand to the commander and said, "The weather control device has been adjusted and will be fully charged in two hours. You can then strike any location."
"Of course, that is, on the premise that you can withstand the first wave of Soviet attack, as they still have a large navy."
The commander nodded. He was already prepared. All that was left was to deal with the Soviet forces and Epsilon!
The good news from the weather control system greatly boosted the commander's confidence. He turned and immediately began his return to his operations room. Bronya also temporarily warped away. Last night, she had used a stealthy drone to scout the surrounding environment. On a secluded island in the distance, she discovered a psychic beacon placed by Yuri. Most importantly...
Yuri is there.
So this time, Bronya directly used the warp beacon to warp to the island where Yuri placed the psychic beacon. There were no extra guards or defensive buildings here, only Yuri himself and the psychic beacon.
Bronya's arrival seemed to have been anticipated by Yuri, who remained calm, saying, "I expected you to find this place, and sure enough, you did."
"If I kill you here, wouldn't that force the Soviet army to change course and join us in Antarctica? What do you think?"
Bronya stared at Yuri with interest, then suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, I know you're a clone, not the original. Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll make my move."
Bronya pulled Icarus from her thigh, and a bright blue energy blade shot out. Yuri stared at Bronya, "Seeing you is enough."
The next moment, Bronya's energy blade beheaded Yuri in front of her. She knew very well that this Yuri was just a clone, and the real Yuri was probably on his way to Moscow.
As for the mental beacon in front of us... it's obviously fake, it can't be real. Everyone here is fake, so how could the mental beacon be real?
