This Game Is Too Realistic
Chapter 859 Hunting and Sneaking (1/2)
The eastern front of Shizhou is filled with boiling flames and thick smoke, while the western Borneo Sea on the other side is quiet and peaceful.
Three fully loaded large cargo ships were sailing smoothly on the sea, their majestic bows breaking waves one after another.
Standing on the edge of the deck, facing the sea breeze, Henke had a smug expression on his face, and his cocked nose was exactly the same as the bow of the ship that split the waves.
There is no doubt that he is a pure-blooded Weiland man, and he was born in the Triumph City with unparalleled glory and wealth.
However, because the Triumph City was too crowded, he followed his mother to the distant New World when he was still a child, and opened up territory for the Weiland people in the new land.
His father was a centurion. If there were no accidents, he should have become an honorable soldier like his father and made meritorious deeds on the battlefield.
But unfortunately, the tiger turned out to be a son of a dog. He was really not a war material. He failed in both the selection of the Youth Army and the assessment of reserve officers one after another.
Especially the youth selection.
He didn't even make it to the second round. He was screened out in the first round of physical examination. Among the many physical fitness tests, only swimming barely passed.
Facts have proved that even if they are a race born for fighting, not everyone is good at fighting.
Frustrated, Henke once gave up on himself and drank all day long to numb himself. Until one day, he made a friend in the youth training camp and brought him a bottle of "Big Bird Rotating Volt" from the "Old World", and he suddenly woke up from his confusion——
What kind of horse urine did you drink before?
The spicy taste has a slightly sweet taste that can make people forget all their worries. Ever since he tasted it, he has been obsessed with this feeling, and drinking other wines feels boring.
However, the origin of this thing is in the distant Alliance. Even in Triumph City, it is not easy to get it. Most of the best sources are monopolized by the Eastern Legion.
Although the manufacturing process of this thing is not complicated and the materials are simple, the imitations produced by Triumph City Winery always feel like there is something missing.
He knew what those fakes lacked, and that was the thing that intoxicated him the most - that slightly sweet taste that could make people forget all their worries and sometimes hallucinate.
In order to drink better in the future, Henke temporarily came out of his depression. He first made a homemade continuous distiller, and then tinkered with brewing in his own warehouse to improve the brewing technology... Unexpectedly, after a lot of tinkering, he finally It really gave back that "slight sweetness that makes people forget all their worries".
In fact, the secret to making people forget their worries lies in "methanol within the safe measurement range".
Triumph City Distillery is obsessed with improving the distillation process, pursuing the brewing of the purest vodka, and striving for excellence in quality, but it has ignored what the people at the bottom of the family really need.
They don't have time to order a glass of special cocktail in a fancy restaurant and savor the smooth and rich taste. They need something that can forget all their worries, even if they have a splitting headache the next day.
It would be better if you don't take advantage of the cheaper option, even if this happiness is not healthy.
In short, thanks to this "invention", Henke became a famous wine merchant on the east coast of the New World in one fell swoop, turning vodka from an "imported product" into something that even ordinary people could afford to drink.
If nothing unexpected happens, he may sell wine for the rest of his life. After that, the business will get bigger and bigger, and he may even invent the "Chicken Vodka" and export it to the distant Dawn City, so that those groups can join forces. Guys, let's see how clever he is.
The only thing is that the profit from selling wine is still too low.
Although his "Chicken Vodka" was popular for a while, it was only for a while.
Especially in this industry, there is no threshold.
Since he can imitate the alliance's products, others can also imitate him.
Moreover, poaching people from other wineries to Triumph City was much easier than poaching people from the alliance. All it took was a boat ticket and a house in the suburbs of Triumph City.
Seeing that the business has reached a bottleneck, Henke, like most self-made Valantians, has no choice but to turn his attention to other new fields that are less complicated and have promising prospects.
In the legion, only arms are eternally traded, and their status is the highest among all merchants.
As luck would have it, at this moment, the respected Lord Shuai opened a window for him again.
The Southern Legion is building momentum for war!
Although this war is nominally a war between the Xilan Empire and various rebels, thirty thousand troops of "mercenaries" are truly rare even in the history of human civilization.
Not surprisingly, the league also got off the field.
And it is foreseeable that companies, colleges, and even all surviving forces in the Great Rift Valley and the eastern part of the old world will participate in this war.
The local industry and transportation capacity of the Southern Army were obviously unable to support the material expenses of this war alone, and the expansion of the Western Army happened to be stuck in an expansion bottleneck. A large amount of unsaleable arms were piled in warehouses with nowhere to go.
At this time, the Western Army and the Southern Army signed a tax exemption agreement for military supplies.
Having smelled the rumor, Henke took a fancy to the business opportunity at a glance, and immediately invested all his worth.
No one reacts faster than him.
Not surprisingly, he will probably be the first New World businessman to dig out the first pot of gold from Borneo...if we don't count the big shots who jumped away early.
After he becomes the largest private arms contractor in Saipan Port, he will sell his "Chicken Vodka" to the local Willant soldiers.
He believed they would love the addictive feeling.
And this can be regarded as a way to "save the factory through curves".
Several white birds flew in from afar and hovered over the plywood, as if they wanted to stop and rest their feet.
"Gah——"
Listening to the ups and downs of the scream, Henk felt indescribably happy.
"It's a seagull! Haha, it seems we are almost reaching the shore!"
Arriving next to him, the captain, whose skin was tanned and waxy red, grinned and held back his complaints.
"That's an albatross, sir...and it seems to be a mutant. You'd better not tease it."
They still have more than 20 hours of flight from Borneo Province, and they will not be able to dock until noon tomorrow at the earliest.
Looking at this guy's excited look, he guessed that this boss was probably going to sea for the first time, not to mention that this guy couldn't even tell the difference between an albatross and a seagull.
Henk didn't care, he just laughed and made the embarrassment go away.
"Hahaha! No matter what it is, it's my lucky bird! Bring some bread...remember to get the kind that's about to expire." As he said that, he pushed the secretary next to him with an urging look on his face. Reluctantly, the secretary returned to the cabin.
The captain grinned, thinking that this boss from the New World was quite humorous.
I heard that the people of the New World are like this, they are smoother and more cunning than the people of the "Old World".
However, he has never really lived there, and what he knows about it is only hearsay.
The captain's job was introduced to him by a businessman from the Southern Legion, and he only stopped briefly at the port of the New World before boarding the cargo ship bound for the Borneo Sea.
There was peace and quiet on the deck, just like the calm sea.
The casual sailors either put their hands on the railings to bask in the sun, or used beer bottle caps as chips to play chess to pass the time, or they planned where to have fun when they get ashore.
At this moment, no one noticed that a periscope quietly stretched out of the sea, stared at them for a while, and then quietly retracted.
The secretary who went to the cabin to get bread had not returned yet. Henk was about to go into the cabin to urge the guy, but he saw large bubbles rolling out of the surging waves.
Something was quickly approaching his cargo ship, and it looked like it was quite big.
Henk suddenly remembered a story told by a sailor who was bragging about him in the tavern before boarding the ship.
It is said that in the distant Borneo Sea and southern seas, there is a sea monster called Laken.
That thing is like a giant dragon swimming in the deep sea. It can easily overturn a cargo ship with a displacement of thousands of tons.
But Henk is not worried. After all, his three cargo ships are all over 50,000 tons, and they are also equipped with sonar to repel alien species.
Seeing the "big fish" getting closer and closer, he even stuck his head out of the side of the boat and shouted excitedly.
"What is that? Laken?"
The captain smiled when he heard this and walked next to Henk.
"Laken won't be interested in us. We fired the sonar wave——"
Just as he was mid-sentence, his expression suddenly changed, and he roared behind him in horror.
"Torpedo!!!"
He had never encountered such a thing before, and he didn't know how to deal with it, but he still instinctively pulled off the life jacket hanging on the guardrail, threw one to Hunk, and put the other on himself.
Almost at the same time, a deafening roar came from the feet of the two of them.
A torpedo hit the side of the cargo ship!
In the face of that terrifying destructive power that can sink a warship, a mere 50,000-ton cargo ship is as fragile as a toothpick.
There was no time to care about the situation of the other two cargo ships. Henk just felt himself flying up, flipping over and falling into the sea with a plop.
The development of love was so sudden that he didn't even have time to be afraid, and his consciousness was cut off...
…
A few minutes ago, beneath the surface of the sea.
In the bridge of the Steel Forest, a dozen officers in military uniforms were staring seriously at the picture projected on the holographic screen.
Twenty-four hours ago, Commander Chu Minghui issued a combat plan codenamed "Laken".
As ghosts lurking under the West Borneo Sea, they will attack the transport ships transporting arms to Saipan Port.
This is the safest method when you are unsure of the true strength of the opponent's warships.
On the one hand, it can attack the Southern Army's logistics and delay the frontline offensive. On the other hand, it can force the Western Army to come out to escort, thus exposing their true combat effectiveness.
"...The target retrieval was completed and multiple 120mm field guns were found. The cargo carried on the ship was undoubtedly munitions." The observer sitting in front of the control desk turned back to look at the captain and said with certainty.
The captain nodded expressionlessly, without any hesitation, picked up the communicator and gave the order.
"Combat units at all levels are ready! Send them to see Laken!"
An echo soon came from the communication channel.
"receive!"
As the order was given, the crew of the entire attack nuclear submarine immediately started to act like clockwork gears.
After the sonar locked the target, the torpedo cabin began to accumulate water, and then a black and thick torpedo was launched from the torpedo cabin, like a submerged harpoon, piercing the unsuspecting cargo ship.
This is a battle without any suspense, and the opponent doesn't even have the means to detect them.
They fired a total of three torpedoes, all of which hit their targets.
Looking at the exploding flames and the slowly sinking steel, everyone in the bridge did not celebrate.
After all, the target that was sunk was not a warship, so even if they won, there would be nothing to celebrate.
But that doesn't mean they have any regrets about participating in this operation.
No matter what form or reason, since you participate in this war, you must be prepared to pay the corresponding price.
Just like them standing here.
They knew exactly what they were facing, and what consequences they would face if they were targeted by the opponent's warships...
After confirming that the target had sunk, the captain immediately gave the order to dive.
With the cooperation of various units, the submarine quickly sank to the bottom of the sea as if it had never appeared before.
At the same time, in the sea more than ten miles away, there was a cargo ship full of immigrants.
Hearing the distant explosion, Arman standing on the deck and the crew beside him were stunned.
"...what happened?"
Listening to the boss's inquiry, the captain standing next to Arman frowned and said in an uncertain tone after a moment.
"Three explosions... maybe they were torpedoes."
"Can you hear this?" Arman glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect this guy to have this book.
"Otherwise, could it be caused by alien species?" The captain made a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing the boss's worried look, he whispered some advice.
"It's best for us not to get involved with these people... You should know it well, it's hard to work for those big shots."
Arman naturally didn't understand what he meant, but in the end he sighed and said.
"...The teachings of the Silver Moon Sect cannot be left to die without saving people who have fallen into the water. No matter what, I have to cross over to see if anyone is alive. Of course, I will not ask you to accompany me on the adventure. I’ll just take a few people with me who want to go with me.”
If anyone is still alive, they must be fished out before they are targeted by the alien creatures in the sea.
Guessing what the boss would say, the captain made a helpless expression and sighed.
"I'm even more worried about leaving you alone. I'll bring a few people to spend the day with you."
Without wasting a long time, several diesel-powered lifeboats were lowered from the ship and sped towards the waters where the explosion occurred.
When they arrived at their destination, the raised bow of the ship had basically sunk into the water, leaving only some wreckage and garbage floating on the sea mixed with scattered burning fuel.
Yaman didn't know what the three sinking cargo ships were carrying, but fortunately there was no secondary explosion.
After discovering that they had survived falling into the water, he immediately called on the crew to drag them into the lifeboat, and then left the dangerous waters before the fire spread...
The Southern Army wanted to limit the war to the province of Borneo, and the Western Army wanted to hide behind the scenes and make a fortune. However, things could not always develop in the direction they expected.
Just like the messy train station and warehouse area in Saifan Port, as well as the tanks that were blown up in central Shizhou, the three transport ships and arms worth tens of millions of dinars sunk at the bottom of the sea. Just the beginning.
At the same time that Arman was rescuing the compatriots who had fallen into the water, a team of ten thousand people led by Captain Ryan finally pushed murderously to Ridbull County, only one step away from the Lion City.
The area has one of the few hills on the entire land, and several tributaries of ever-flowing rivers traverse the area, converging into a freshwater lake called "Sunrise Lake".
Like Surak County, this "Li County" also belongs to the territory of a nobleman with a big surname, but this Viscount Ridbull is not as fateful as Viscount Surak.
As early as the "Tianwang Rebellion", he was tied up and beheaded by a group of rebellious serfs and tenants. Only a few distant men of the family were killed.
Later, after Janusz died, the Heavenly King's Army changed its flag and became the Kingdom of Borneo. His family's bloodline was not cut off. Some land and family property were sold, so that the farmland all over the mountains and plains was not abandoned.
However, the situation did not last long.
Just as the seedlings in the field were finally starting to grow, the Southern Army attacked again.
In order to defend the Lion City, Captain Yudonovan waved his hand and filled up the army of 200,000 with 100,000.
These big-headed soldiers were doing repair work, digging trenches, and filling in the crops that were not easy to sprout. Most of the crops in the fields were ruined.
Although they would be compensated, they were given in Borneo coins. No one knew what the use of this thing was, or even how many days this Borneo country could survive.
However, little Ridbull, who inherited the title, was a person who understood the overall situation and did not dare to rebel at this time. He even led a group of family members to actively help these big-headed soldiers.
On the contrary, some freedmen who had obtained the land were quite dissatisfied, but they tolerated it knowing the current situation.
I heard that the people in the legion were compensated with dinars, but Abu Saik was very picky about his own people, and sent them away after taking out a few scraps of paper.
But after all, these complaining voices are only a minority. At least at this moment, most people still agree with Abu Saik.
Especially people in the military.
That guy is not a rogue.
Cunning, philistine, indecisive... all negative descriptions can be applied to him, but one thing has to be admitted, he is more like a normal person than Anush.
This is actually pretty good—even rare.
There is no shortage of capable people in Borneo, but the strange thing is that there are very few normal people standing on the top of the tower.
Under this unanimous unity, criss-crossing tunnels quickly covered the mountains and fields of Ridbull County.
There are also those underground caves with only a mouth and no exit.
The soldiers carrying weapons and dry food got into the cave without hesitation, and they were already prepared to fill them with their own flesh and blood.
At the same time, the second batch of supplies aided by the alliance also arrived at the front line.
Among the newly sent equipment to the front line, in addition to RPG rocket launchers and recoilless rifles, there are also some powerful metallic hydrogen explosives and landmines.
Especially the latter one, as long as it is used properly, it is enough to pose a threat to the Legion's No. 10 Conquest Tank!
At least, they will not let the Legion easily take down the Lion City behind them.
…
Inside the Lion City.
Captain Yudonovan stared at the map on the command table, holding a lit cigarette on his index finger, with a sad look on his brows.
He was once a subordinate of King Janusz. Later, Janusz sent troops to attack Tiandu and left him behind in the Lion City, or in other words, left him to the legions to "vent their anger."
At that time, Yudano thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that before the Legion had time to attack, Janusz took a step forward and was assassinated by the reformist officers in the main hall of the Tiandu Palace.
Later, Absek teamed up with several other kings to purge Yanush's old tribe and changed the flag of Borneo to the king's army. He himself also followed the general trend and led his subordinates to join the new government, and was promoted as a result.
Although in his opinion, this promotion was basically the same as asking him to die, but as Janusz's old subordinate, he didn't have much choice.
When it comes to handing over certificates of surrender, the Borneo Kingdom and the Heavenly King's Army are of the same origin. He also has his own certificate of surrender to hand in, and only after handing over the certificate of surrender can he be considered one of his own.
The current task assigned to him by Absak is to lead the 200,000 troops stationed in Lion State to block the offensive of the Southern Army.
These are almost impossible tasks.
"...The Alliance's armored forces are coming in our direction, and they are said to be one of the Alliance's elite forces. However, their number is not large, only one regiment."
"In addition, there are two armored regiments sent by the Tiger Army and the Black Panther Army, as well as a mechanized infantry division from Jinlun Port... They have arrived at the southern side of Ridbull County."
Standing next to the command table, an officer in his early twenties spoke quickly and made a report. However, these tidbits of news did not completely relax Yudono's brows.
Three regiments can barely make up one division.
There is no need to worry about the alliance's armored regiments, but it is still unknown how much combat effectiveness the armored regiments of the Black Panther Army and Tiger Army can have.
Those people may not be willing to do their best.
The mechanized infantry divisions at Jinlun Port should be able to listen to the alliance, but they probably can't command them.
After staring at the map for a long time, Yudono sighed and said.
"You can't rely on outsiders. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself..."
After calming down, he turned his attention to the officers standing in front of the command table.
"In any case, we have an army of 200,000, and the Weiland people only have 10,000... This battle is our home field, and we have to defend it even if we die!"
Although the Mammoth Kingdom has a good idea, the Lion State is not the Dog State after all. The millions of residents of the Lion City are right behind them. Even if they want to retreat, they have nowhere to retreat. There is no way to escape this battle.
Reading the determination in the commander's eyes, the officers standing in front of the command table looked solemn and put their fists on their left chests.
"yes!"
