Chapter 967 The Terrifying Northern Neighbor
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Wang Zhiming's body shook slightly.
He closed his eyes in pain and turned his face slightly away, deliberately avoiding Liu Guangpu's gaze that almost pierced his soul.
He dared not look, nor could he look...
"Guangpu!" When Wang Zhiming spoke again, there was only a heavy, unquestionable iron-blooded determination in his voice, as if he had used up all his life's strength:
"I've already said it! There is no choice in the war zone! Our Air Force - has even less choice!"
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's, piercing the vast and gloomy sky in the north:
"You and I both know this! Even before the end of the world, we used the whole country's strength to overcome difficulties in the drawings and test fields of the fourth-generation aircraft!"
"After the end of the world, who else could have such a large-scale, high-performance advanced fighter jet that appeared in my northwest hinterland like a ghost?!"
He almost gritted his teeth and uttered the chilling name word by word:
"Who else could it be except our neighbor to the north who is... greedy and crazy about land?!"
He punched the cold window frame hard, making a dull sound:
"They saw that we were in trouble both internally and externally, with corpses everywhere, and they couldn't hold back their wolfish ambitions to take advantage of our misfortune!!"
“You...you mean..." Liu Guangpu's pupils suddenly contracted and his face turned pale in an instant.
That behemoth entrenched in the north of Zhou State, with a huge war legacy?
With the heavy shadow of history and the biting chill of reality, the next second, Liu Guangpu, deputy commander of the Western Theater Air Force, almost blurted out: "Mao Bear?!"
"That's right! It can only be the bear!" Liu Guangpu's mind seemed to be split by a pale lightning, and it instantly became clear!
After the end of the world, who else could be so efficient and organized in projecting such advanced air power? Looking around the country, except for the giant in the north, who else could be there? !
The land is vast and the population is sparse - a paradise for survivors!
The Russian bear has the most vast territory on the planet, but its population density is shockingly low, less than one-tenth of Zhou State! What does this mean?
This means that in the apocalypse when the zombie virus sweeps the world, the pressure of population loss they endure is far lower than any densely populated country!
Especially its treasure trove of resources - the Far East and Siberia, which are originally vast and sparsely populated cold lands. They were not highly developed before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, they have become natural isolation barriers and safe zones!
Minerals, forests, oil and gas resources are found beneath the sparsely populated frozen wasteland. Mining is relatively easy, and the recovery rate is so fast that it makes people despair!
More than half a year might be enough time for the polar bear to sharpen its deadly fangs again after the initial chaos!
What’s even more terrifying is that the Russian bear has inherited an astronomical Cold War military legacy from a special era!
It was a mountain of steel: more than 100,000 sealed tanks and armored vehicles, tens of millions of tons of artillery shells and gunpowder enough to plow the earth several times, and tens of millions of firearms scattered in the corners of warehouses, which were so simple and reliable that they were outrageous...
These weapons may have been obsolete before the end of the world, but in the wasteland where order has collapsed and human lives are worthless, they are the most reliable tools of mass destruction!
It is tough and durable! It has a simple structure and can fire normally in extreme cold and heat, and can pass through muddy and sandstorms without any hindrance!
Large quantity, full supply! No need to replenish with precision production lines, inventory is the basis, enough to support one or even multiple wars of attrition at the level of destroying a country!
Firepower is supreme! In the apocalyptic battlefield lacking precision guidance, the overwhelming rain of steel bullets is the most unpretentious and most frightening symphony of destruction!
As these cold and cruel deductions unfolded, Liu Guangpu's face quickly became as gloomy and dark as the Siberian permafrost.
For the past six months, the entire Western Theater has been busy putting out the internal zombie fire and dealing with "internal troubles" like Gao Zhikai, and they almost forgot that there are larger and more brutal predators from outside the border who are eyeing them covetously!
An apocalyptic version of the Russian bear...the threat of immediate, physical destruction it brings is probably ten times more terrifying than that of the United States, which is also in a state of desperation on the other side of the ocean!
Let's imagine:
The endless steel torrent of the Russian bear - tens of thousands of T-series tanks and BMP infantry fighting vehicles, like a moving steel mountain range, rolled over the broken border line, rolling up smoke and dust that covered the sky on the frozen soil and Gobi...
In the sky, groups of fourth-generation aircraft, which are several generations ahead of their own, are circling like vultures, clearing obstacles for the strategic bombers below that are loaded with heavy bombs....
What will that look like?
It will be a hell on earth made of steel and fire, even purer than the zombie apocalypse itself!
And this...is not the scariest thing!
The nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads of the Russian bear are the real sword of Damocles hanging over everyone’s head!
In the end times, there is no restriction of international public opinion, no supervision of global communications! In the absolute law of the dark forest, if it wants to press the button, it will explode!
There might not even be a hint of alarm or message transmitted, and the entire land would be reduced to scorched earth in a silent flash!
"hiss--"
Thinking of this, an unprecedented, bone-chilling feeling of suffocation, like a Siberian cold current, instantly gripped Liu Guangpu's heart!
Even his breathing came to a standstill!
At this moment, he finally understood the seemingly cruel decision of his commander Wang Zhiming to let the pilots fly the second-generation aircraft to risk their lives!
If the aircraft that is recklessly conducting all-around reconnaissance over the western theater of operations is really the fourth-generation fleet of the Russian bear...
Then, this reconnaissance itself is the prelude to the army's invasion! It is the cold light before the butcher's knife is unsheathed!
If the theater has no response and no deterrence, it will only make the other side feel that the Western theater is weak and can be bullied, and the air defense is useless...
Then the next step is almost foreseeable——
The Russian bear's long-sharpened steel fangs will surely move south and bite without hesitation!
By then, the Western theater, which was plagued by internal troubles, no foreign aid, and logistics on the verge of collapse...
How can we resist this giant bear of the apocalypse that is armed to the teeth and has no bottom line? !
Take off to intercept, and you'll be dead.
But if they retreat and do nothing, what awaits the entire war zone is likely to be complete destruction with no chance of survival!
Just like when I was a student, the most bullied students in the class were not necessarily those with the worst physical fitness or family conditions, but they were definitely those with the best temper.
Because a good temper means there is no cost to bullying you...The same principle applies between countries!
Therefore, the Western Theater Air Force Commander Wang Zhiming's order for fighter planes to take off was actually an expression of his attitude!
Fight to the end, fight to the death!
I can risk my life to fight you to the end, you'd better consider whether it's worth it!
