Chapter 928: The power of industry

After the miraculous night in Dunwich passed, all parties reported that while competing for first-hand news, a group of released prisoners brought even more incredible news.
A total of 1,000 captives were returned from the other side of the river, and they were the last remaining humans in Arkham. Ouke even ran human boats to take them away from the river.
In more than a year of labor and torture, more than one hundred thousand former residents only had this thousand-thousand-thousand wandering soul, and the rest became the dry bones accumulated in the factory and the arena.
On the body of these more than a thousand prisoners, the defenders on the river bank were surprised to find a line.
The New California Republic will perish in a hundred days!
The words were carved directly on the skin of the captive with a knife, so after arriving across the river, at least half of the people died due to excessive blood loss.
Such naked intimidation angered the entire New California Republic.
In response, Ben Lear built a huge platform in the center of Dunwich with the Oak skull accumulated in the previous battle, on which a special quartz clock was placed, not only engraved with hours, minutes and seconds, but also the most Important days.
One hundred days!
This is the most direct response to the threat.
Newspapers and news media from all walks of life have also mocked Gu Ke's arrogance, because everyone knows that the flood season has come, and at least three months, crossing the Skasen River is a foolish act and idea.
Guk confessed to launching the attack three days later, and to everyone, it looked more like a bluff.
But the civilians can freehand freely, but the military has strengthened the alert.
Ok's repetitiveness is notorious, they will do a lot of things beyond common sense, so it is not ruled out that the possibility of Guck's real head attacking a full attack.
All vacations were cancelled, the officers returned to the frontline troops, and the rear reserve team had been assembled, and the frontline troops all entered the highest alert state.
As early as half a year ago, the Defense Department of the New California Republic formulated a plan to deal with the large-scale invasion of Ok.
In the plan, the focus of the defense will be on the riparian line, and 600,000 troops will be sent from the rear to the first line within 1-2 weeks. At the same time, the navy will conduct a targeted attack on a few ports in Oak, if necessary. Marines can be dispatched for landing operations.
Once the front-line garrison forces withstand the attack of Ouke and give the other party a lot of damage, Ben Lear can gather elite field troops and launch a counterattack to fight for the occupation of 2-3 bridgehead positions across the Skasen River.
After the last disastrous defeat, the military of the New California Republic has understood that this war will be long and painful. There must be steps to proceed, and quick battles are impossible.
Guarding the Skason River is the bottom line goal, counterattack and recapture some key strongholds, such as Cadillac, is the highest goal.
The implementation of the entire plan involves millions of troops, requiring a huge railway network and road network, as well as a larger logistics network to support it.
The Benedict Empire cannot support such operations, but the New California Republic can.
It is the first industrial power of mankind, and the war potential is not comparable to that of the old Benedict Empire.
After the last fiasco, just one year later, the New California Republic mobilized 3 million naval and air forces, of which the army was 2.5 million, plus the previous standing army, the number reached an unprecedented 250 One hundred thousand, total 115 divisions
In terms of organization, the new army of the New California Republic is similar to the Benedict Empire. They are all divisions plus three infantry regiments, as well as direct artillery and engineering battalions. This is also an experience learned from the anti-European front. .
But in terms of equipment, the two are much worse.
For example, for each infantry regiment, the New California Republic comes standard with 16 45-caliber anti-tank guns, 24 75-caliber rapid-fire guns, 42 heavy and heavy mortars, and 63 heavy and heavy machine guns.
Such regiment firepower is close to the level of a normal division of the Benedict Empire.
In the artillery of the division, the New California Republic has invested a lot of money. The heavy artillery battalion is equipped with 12 240-caliber howitzers, and the remaining three light artillery battalions are equipped with 12 122-caliber howitzers, a total of 36. There is also a special anti-tank gun battalion equipped with 57 caliber anti-tank guns and 88 caliber anti-tank guns, a total of 52, and an air defense battalion with 108 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
On the other hand, in order to enhance the mobility of the troops, all newly formed army divisions have completed motorization, with nearly 2,000 vehicles of each division size.
Similarly, in response to Ock's armor assault, the New California Republic also formed its own armored division.
The most elite among them are the six heavy armored divisions. They are the trump card in the trump card. Each division has at least 158 ​​of the latest heavy shield tanks, 92 tank destroyers, 242 medium-sized tanks of various models, 640 A light tank and half-tracked vehicle and 68 self-assault guns, not counting the remaining thousands of cars.
In the Air Force, although this is an emerging arm, all New California Republics have invested no less than the Army because of the constant threat of the sky.
With the technical support of the Civic Temple, the technicians of the Republic were able to develop a variety of actual combat models in a short period of time and quickly put them into production.
In just one year, the New California Republic formed 31 flight wings, including 9 bomber wings, 15 fighter wings, and 7 attack aircraft wings, totaling more than 4,000 aircraft.
All pilots are uniformly trained by the instructors of the Civic Temple.
Although they are very rusty, in the confrontation with Ok, they have gradually grown up and become the mainstay of the human sky.
All of these land and air forces, six of which are distributed on the Gammel-Walley defense line, include five elite heavy armored divisions, all on standby on the first line.
Everyone believes that this time, Ok will surely hit his head.
Some even expect Ouck to launch an offensive ~EbookFREE.me~ but most people still pray that war will not happen. After all, it takes at least 16 years for a man to be a soldier from birth.
An Ok, it is said that it takes only a few seconds from birth to becoming a killer.
"Today is about to pass."
Standing in a lookout whistle at the front, with the help of the waning twilight, Mountbatten can see the scene of the heat across the river.
Oks are building ships-if that polygonal thing is true.
But in any case, they look very happy, as if preparing for an outing, not a war.
"They... can't get through."
Bronz walked up to him with a scent on his body. At the beginning, Mountbatten led the battlefield to burn indelible scars on his body-one of his eyes was completely solidified crystals.
"How are you sure? As far as I know, it seems that the things you put in the river are gone."
"Yes, but the turbulent river is enough, we will win more time and make more arrangements."
Bronz smiled slightly, but with his gray-white right eye like glass beads, this smile seemed very strange.
"Decoration? Like more evil rituals?"
"Power is never evil, the key depends on where it is used."
"I only know that people with guns in their hands will definitely want to fire."
Mountbatten put down the telescope.
The sun went down, and the day was over.
There are only two days left before the day set by Guk, but apart from seeing a lot of Oak gathering near the river, there are no more signs of attack.
But Mountbatten's heart became more and more uneasy.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Bronze pushed Mountbatten. He looked up and found that the wrath of the God of War was gathering in the sky!
