Chapter 2 The Fire of Eastern Europe
February 1, 2219.
In the past half month, the impact of the "Nine Prisons Falls" incident on the world is gradually fermenting.
Even the incompetent federal bureaucrats could feel that the global rebel forces have entered an unprecedented period of active activity.
A storm... is coming.
Since the day the Nine Prisons were robbed, the top tycoons in Christo City have basically held meetings every day, from morning to night, but the practical role these meetings can play is very limited.
After all... the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light. Before the rebels have actually taken action, the only thing the Federation can do is intelligence war.
But spy warfare cannot be promoted overnight; the battles on the intelligence front are long-term combat, and in this sensitive period, it is no different from asking them to die.
Therefore, the more you are at this time, the more patient you need to be, keep a low profile, and be patient...
The Nine Prisons incident itself has caused a huge blow to the Federation. If a series of wrong decisions are made during this period due to panic, it will only bring more unpredictable consequences.
Unfortunately, the current federal government is not a group that can remain calm and calm after such an incident.
Taking Lilia's experience in being imprisoned in Nine Prisons as an example, it is not difficult to see that most of the prisoners in Nine Prisons have personal grudges with members of the federal high-level officials or their nephews; among them, 90% of the people who were directly framed or persecuted were jailed, and hatred of "family destruction" can only be considered an average among this group of people.
Now, all these prisoners have come out. Do you think the powerful people in the Federation are panicking?
Even if some officials and their families are not imprisoned in the Nine Prisons, there are probably people in their social circles. If everyone comes out to meet, have some tea, or meet in the same villa area, and stands in the community and chats... suddenly, someone who "has not going back when they come," and holds the ability to "kill someone enough, kill your whole family, and someone next to you is considered unlucky"?
In this situation, the subsequent development is also predictable.
For the powerful and powerful... Compared to maintaining local stability, their own wealth and life are naturally more important.
In order to protect the core of power, some of the federal military's military forces in Europe were transferred to the surrounding area of Crystal County, which was already well-defended; many local officials also left their posts in disregarding regulations and fled to Crystal County for refuge... Anyway, most of them originally owned real estate in Crystal County, so what happened to "going to their villa for a vacation"?
And their reaction was like opening the doors of various areas outside Crystal County, waiting for the resistance troops to come.
Sure enough, by February 10, what should have happened finally happened.
The "Cossack Rangers", a rebellion organization that absorbed up to nine prisoners, sent troops from the north of Blue Shield County to launch an unprecedented comprehensive raid on the federal military bases of Maizao County, and occupied the federal government buildings in several cities within 24 hours, and also controlled all key agencies, including police stations and TV stations.
They announced to the world through broadcast that they would launch a full-scale uprising against the corrupt federal regime, and called on the global rebel groups to rise up and cooperate with them.
Since the "Jiaozhi Battle" in Southeast Asia many years ago, this type of rebel activity has been the first, and it happened in Europe, where the federal military is the strongest... It was shocked by it from the top and bottom.
At this point, it is definitely impossible to block news. The federal news department can only try its best to guide and control public opinion. In short, first create a bunch of fake news about the rebels massacre civilians and rape and looting, and take advantage of the advantages of controlling most of the global media, so that the people will become afraid and hostile to the rebel organizations.
In terms of military affairs, the defense of Crystal County is definitely not moving, so we can just send troops from other European counties to encircle and suppress the enemy. Anyway, the overall military strength of Europe is strong, and some areas may lose if they are raided. However, after the raid, once the rebels come to the open and become the defenders of occupying the city, the situation will be different.
So, in the early morning of February 12, the encirclement and suppression began.
The code name of this operation is "Operation Sandwich", as the name suggests... it is to use the two major military bases in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea as the main fulcrum to launch a joint attack on all occupied areas of Maizao County and Blue Shield County.
As for the military technology of the 23rd century, it is not difficult to flatten these two Eastern European counties with conventional combat weapons within one day. If you completely ignore civilian casualties... it will take half a day.
But the Federal Army is not so crazy. After all, most of the front-line soldiers are from civilians. Many people's hometown is in Eastern Europe. No matter how stupid the commander of the operation is, he will never give such orders.
Therefore, the "Sandwich Operation" still uses conventional weapons to accurately strike "military facilities" and "troop garrisons", and then advance, clear and occupy the ground troops.
This... is time-consuming.
If the Resistance Army intends to drag the battle into the rhythm of street fighting and guerrilla, things will be even more troublesome.
And in fact, they did.
By 3 pm on the 12th, the progress of the "Sandwich Operation" suffered a very serious setback; the Federal Army realized that a serious matter was almost impossible to carry out except for the long-range bombing and strikes that could achieve certain results.
The reason is that the opponent's capable troops are obviously stronger than the federal side.
Not to mention anything else, there is a gap in the number of people...
The federal capable combat troops are very small, at most one squad with about ten people, and each squad often has to be divided into two squads to operate.
In the ground forces of a regiment of federal troops, there are mostly only two to three abilities squads, and those abilities are generally all from the same level as the strong level.
On the other hand, the abilityists and ordinary soldiers are completely mixed, and the proportion of abilityists is quite high. You can't tell who has superpowers and where they will appear.
Not only that, those who are capable are not low at the same level, and their combat methods are also wild ways. The "lime powder, slim legs" style can be said to be.
In short... both in terms of quantity and quality, the soldiers of the Federation's capable soldiers were at a disadvantage; in this case, their ground troops could not be defeated or pushed.
As night fell, an action originally planned to be completed within one day turned into a protracted war.
In the early morning of the 13th, the commanders of the Federal Army had already given up the blitzkrieg. At this moment, they were thinking about... relying on their advantage in general force to drag down their opponents.
However……
