"Sir, in the end, any strategic and tactical maneuver is merely a manifestation of insufficient strength. With enough strength, one can completely ignore everything and advance effortlessly!"
"In the face of absolute power, any plot is just a joke!"
"Before, we dealt with Dumbywood in such a way, and the Camels dealt with Squids in the same way not long ago. Even when Squids used hostages as shields, they employed the most despicable means, using their so-called unbreakable and called copper wall defense to control those hostages. But in the end, before absolute strength, their fortress and rubbish have no difference!"
"Now, although we were severely attacked in the previous operations, we have enough reserves to recover quickly. Conversely, the Camels are completely blocked by us, and with our relentless bombing every day, whether it's military equipment or food supplies, their stockpiles can only diminish with each passing battle!"
"They couldn't break through us before, and they're certainly not going to do so now! It's a matter of certainty that the failure of those damn locals is already doomed!"
"Unless, Long Village is determined to tear it off with us in order to help them!"
In the end, the commander with the hooked nose's voice became somewhat low.
However, just a moment later, he revealed an indifferent smile and said:
"But it's obvious that this is not possible. Although Long Village is now powerful and shows its sharpness, I once stayed in Long Village for a while, and their administrators care too much about their civilians. Unless there's no way out and they're forced into a corner, they won't bring their civilians into the quagmire of war!"
"Though they have substantial interests on the side of the Camels, I think these interests are not enough to make them risk a rift with us to help these cursed Camel tribesmen!"
"This can be seen from the response of Long Village recently. We have announced the experimental cultivation of mushrooms for several days, and if they really wanted to help the Camels, they should have spoken up long ago!"
"And now they don't even dare to fart!"
The hooked-nose commander's face bore a hint of a sneer.
As if he were thinking of the previous weak and helpless victim.
After listening to Paul's words, Steve's mind couldn't help but involuntarily think of the various traces of Long Village.
As Paul said.
They have announced the experimental cultivation of mushrooms for several days.
Long Village has shown no reaction at all.
This is completely different from Long Village's previous style, which was like that of a hedgehog, always ready to bristle at the slightest provocation.
It's worth noting that since two years ago, Long Village has been very strong. Particularly since a year ago until now, who dares to mess with Long Village will definitely have to leave with numerous injuries!
They are like this in White and Black Eagle Village, Eastern Village, Three Blessings Village, Iron Tower Village, and so on!
But this time, Long Village has absolutely no reaction, silent as if they were struck dumb, appearing utterly terrified...
"Sir, do not worry about these anymore. Unless Long Village is completely out of its mind, they would never dare to engage in direct confrontation with us. Therefore, no matter what happens, the Camels will not be able to cause any trouble. The victor will undoubtedly be us, and it must be us!"
The commander with the hooked nose said again.
"Is that really true?" Steve gazed into the distance.
The sky was clear and the stars sparkled.
The bright moon hanging in the high sky seemed as bright as their future.
Everything seems to indicate that the Camels will no longer pose any threat to them.
However, for some reason, the uneasy feeling in Steve's heart didn't dissipate at all but instead had a trend of worsening!
"Paul, arrange for a few early warning planes to take off and keep a close eye on it..."
"Additionally, order the First Squadron of Falcons on standby, ready to take off at any time!"
"The air defense systems are to be prepared as well. If anything abnormal is detected, report to me immediately!"
After pondering for a long time, under the strong unease, Steve couldn't help but issue the orders.
Upon hearing this, Paul was stunned.
Involuntarily, Paul wanted to say something.
In the end, he could only helplessly shake his head and say, "Yes, sir!"
………
At the same time, in White and Black Eagle Village—
"Is there anything abnormal over the desert?"
In his office, Yarst glanced at the documents in his hand and then asked Preston in front of him.
"There hasn't been, the Camels still show no reaction. It seems as you said before, they have run out of ammunition..."
Preston answered respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Yarst's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Are they not ready to surrender and admit defeat?"
Preston shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, not yet. At present, we have not received any information from the Camel side about their submission..."
Yarst narrowed his eyes slightly: "All Camels?"
"No..." Preston shook his head, paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then continued:
"However, some of the Camel administrators in contact with the FBl have shown some interest in our last proposal..."
"Oh?" Yarst's eyes shone slightly.
Then, Yarst narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a half-hour, Yarst's voice sounded again: "What about Long Village? What kind of reaction do they have?"
"The Long Village has also remained silent, just like the Camels..."
In response to the question, Preston replied once more.
Upon hearing this, Yarst fell silent again.
Countless thoughts constantly flashed through his mind.
No reaction at all!
"Long Village is going to surrender?"
Yarst murmured to himself inwardly.
Given Long Village's previously displayed strength, theoretically speaking, they should not have remained indifferent after we proposed the mushroom experiment.
Even more likely to confront them head-on!
Now, however, Long Village shows no reaction at all.
This is not right!
It's very wrong!
Does that mean Long Village is really frightened by their deliberately exhibited madness?
"How is the situation with Polar Bear Village?"
After another half hour, Yarst opened his mouth again.
"Korolenovski's delegation is still in the capital of Long Village and frequently contacts the administrators of Long Village, as if discussing something. However, the specific situation cannot be investigated..."
"However, according to another piece of information we have, not long ago, Korolenovski and Modalarhaner both entered the Foreign Affairs Building of Long Village..."
Preston spoke in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, a glint of coldness flashed across Yarst's eyes.
"Fucking Long Village, do they want to bring Polar Bear Village and the Camels together?"
A thought emerged involuntarily in Yarst's mind.
Thinking of this possibility, Yarst's expression couldn't help but become somewhat unsightly.
With just one Long Village, they were already in a predicament.
Now that they have just managed to quell Long Village, if Long Village brings Polar Bear and Camels together.
That would undoubtedly be a disaster for them!
Long Village has technology and people!
Polar Bear has resources!
The Camels have money!
What does this combination represent?
"Investigate! Find out everything about the Camels and Polar Bears, and what the Long Village and Polar Bears are discussing. Spare no expense to find out!"
With a dark expression, Yarst issued the command directly.
"Yes, sir..."
Facing Yarst's command, Preston didn't say much either. He responded directly.
After receiving the response, Yarst did not continue to say more on this matter.
After a moment of silence, Yarst spoke again:
"Additionally, issue another announcement to those damned desert natives. Inform them that if they continue to resist, we will use all means possible to strike them in every conceivable way!"
"If they still do not heed the warnings, then directly contact Steve and his team to launch the 'Sweeper' operation!"
The 'Sweeper' operation?
Hearing this name, Preston's pupils slightly constricted.
As Yarst's trusted aide, he naturally knows what the contents of this operation are.
This is an operation recently discussed by the Round Table. Its content is to spray a chemical agent called "Sweeper" over all the oases and farms of the Camels!
This chemical agent can kill all plants it contacts within just a few hours!
Of course, if it were only that, it wouldn't be much.
After all, there are many pesticides in the world that can kill plants.
The key is that after the 'Sweeper' kills plants, it will also remain in the soil and even water quality!
And the residual time can last up to ten years!!!
In ten years, any plants that come into contact with the 'Sweeper' will be killed by it!
Not only plants, the 'Sweeper' will also have a serious impact on animals and even humans!
Once a certain amount of 'Sweeper' is ingested, the human liver and kidneys will gradually fail!
The degree of harm it causes is even comparable to that of Mushrooms!
The only regrettable thing is that the 'Sweeper' is difficult to manufacture, and the amount they have now is still limited. However, even so, the 'Sweeper' they have now can cover more than half of the Camels' oases and farms...
This is a completely inhumane plan. Once the content of this operation is exposed, the White and Black Eagle Village will be pointed at by everyone!
Thinking of these, Preston couldn't help but say:
"Sir, should we reconsider the Sweeper operation?"
"If our plan is exposed, then at that time, the whole world may join in denouncing us. It may be difficult for us to stand on our feet in the world..."
Upon hearing this, Yarst coldly laughed:
"Denouncement? As long as we continue to grow stronger, who can denounce us?"
"Denouncement? Back when we released a large amount of orange agent in the rainforest, the dangers of that agent have not yet disappeared. Millions of people have been affected by those agents, and hundreds of thousands have died because of them. These people even included some of our own soldiers. The whole world knows what we did, but who dares to say anything about us?"
"Preston, remember, those who hold the world's voice are not their mouths, but their strength. Only strength is everything!"
Preston fell silent.
"All right, if there are no other questions, then go ahead and arrange it..."
...
Time flies.
A day slipped away quietly.
"Your Highness, the White and Black Eagle Village has once again issued a notice to us, demanding that we disband our arms and surrender to them immediately..."
The Command Center of the Camel Coalition, a Camel commander approached Modalarhaner in front of him, and angrily said.
"Surrender? These invaders are still dreaming in broad daylight!"
Upon hearing the voice of this commander, before Modalarhaner had a chance to speak, the other commanders directly burst into laughter.
Not only the others, even Modalarhaner himself, did not have a good expression at all.
After giving a casual glance at the document handed over, Modalarhaner directly threw it into the trash can next to him, with no intention of looking at it again.
At this point, what is the point of these things?
Truth - only within the range of artillery!
Throwing the document away, Modalarhaner slowly spoke, "How is the preparation situation of the Saint Dragon Brigade?"
As Modalarhaner's words just fell, another voice directly sounded, "It has been completed and is ready to take off at any time!"
With the response, Modalarhaner glanced at his watch on his wrist and then directly said:
"Order the Saint Dragon Brigade to take off on time in half an hour! According to the planned schedule, carry out the Sweeper operation!!"
Operation code: Sweeper!
Target: Clear the road for subsequent ordinary fighter jets and bomber attacks!
"Yes!!" The group responded excitedly at once.
With Modalarhaner's order, in the desert—
Over the covert airfields shrouded in the 'Disguiser,' dozens of elephant-shaped Saint Dragon fighters, lined up in a single file, systematically drove onto the runway!
Saint Dragon, that is, Sword Twenty!
This is the nickname given by the Sand Camels to the Saint Dragon brigade Sword Twenty fighters.
...
The half hour time passed quickly.
Half an hour later—
"Report! This is aircraft 001. All systems on 001 have completed self-checks, weapons are loaded, engine is normal, instruments are normal, communication system is normal, navigation system is normal, radar system is normal, weapon system is normal... Request takeoff!"
In the tower control center, a steady voice suddenly sounds.
The voice is not the language of the Camels, but a completely different Dragon Village language from Dragon Village!
To this, the command personnel and ground staff in the tower did not show the slightest surprise and simply said:
"This is the tower control center. We have received your request to take off, authorized!"
"001 received!"
BOOM!!!
After a brief communication.
A bright orange tail flame burst out instantly from the rear of the Saint Dragon fighter jets on the airport runway!
Not long after, with a series of distinct sounds, like the roar of a dragon.
One after another, the fighter jets took off like bamboo shoots in a spring rain, soaring into the sky in less than half a minute, vanishing into the night sky under the stars and moonlight.
Starry rivers!
The full moon of today is still bright!
The boundless moonlight covers the entire desert, like snow, like frost, and also like - the piercing edge of a sword!
