Wasteland Commander-Chapter 390 - 81: Missile Laboratory

Once the strategic goals of the Dawn Army were determined, the missile laboratory was officially completed.

Ye Fan left the meeting room and immediately set up the missile laboratory in the center of Dawn Island.

After setting it up, the missiles did not directly enter the personnel or vehicle pages but refreshed four missile production lines in the factory.

[Flags Ground-to-Air Missile, effective range 5,000 meters, can be used in ground-air defense systems, for Apocalypse Tanks, armored trains, costing three thousand Gold.]

[Lightning 12 Air-to-Air Missile, effective range 80 kilometers, can be equipped with various models of fighter jets. Costing five thousand Gold.]

[Eagle Attack 8 Air-to-Ground Missile, effective range 45 kilometers, can be equipped with various models of fighter jets, can attack ground and sea targets, costing three thousand Gold.]

[Gale 15B Ballistic Missile, effective range 1,000 kilometers, can carry one small Mushroom Bomb, costing fifteen thousand Gold. Due to satellite navigation reasons, it can only be used within Qin Han territory to ensure accuracy.]

Seeing these four missile production lines, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Perfect! With these four missile production lines, as long as I pour in money, no matter how many enemies come, they are just insignificant."

Air-to-Air missiles, Air-to-Ground missiles, Ground-to-Air missiles, Anti-Ship missiles, Ballistic missiles, all equipped at once.

Although not the most advanced missiles, they are absolutely sufficient for now.

Ye Fan knew that Zheng Jinnan and his gang must have their trump cards, but regardless of what their trump cards are, under the saturation strike of missiles, there can be no good outcome.

Once missiles could be mass-produced, Ye Fan quickly produced a large batch of missiles.

Currently, both Dawn City and Dawn Island have factories, and these missile production lines will automatically appear in each factory.

Meanwhile, the Dawn Army’s fighter jets are also quickly undergoing stealth modifications.

After everything was set up, Ye Fan decided to leave Dawn Island.

According to intelligence, the Bashu and Lingnan troops on the southern line would take at least ten days to reach Jiangzhou, during which time an offensive from the southern line is almost impossible.

The only concern is the people from Jiangnan Base.

But Xiaoba leading Octopus to launch a surprise attack is almost certainly going to succeed.

Due to the Ocean Giant Beast, submarine technology has become obsolete, and no party has much resistance to underwater attacks.

Without means to counter Xiaoba, the sea ships can only be dragged into the ocean.

According to the understanding of Jiangnan Base, their technology is not advanced, so Ye Fan is not worried.

As long as they don’t have sea ships, Jiangnan Base is separated not only by the Great River but also by the massive Zhonghai City, so Ye Fan doubts their army could fly over Zhonghai.

That afternoon, after everything was set up, Ye Fan took off in a helicopter.

He needed to inspect the bases in Loose Province, and the state of preparations there.

Inspecting the troops preparing to invade Qilu, replenishing ammunition for the Dawn Army.

Then he would return to the northern regions to command operations against Fengtian Base.

Once the northern and central lines are settled, perhaps by then the Jiangzhou Alliance Army would be approaching Dawn Island, and Ye Fan would come back for a deadly struggle with Zheng Jinnan.

This is his strategy, hoping everything goes smoothly.

......

Ma Guoxing, leader of Jiangnan Base.

He participated when the Sea Monster was initially brought to attack Dawn Island and then was on tenterhooks for a long time.

Later when Ye Fan attacked Loose Province, advancing rapidly, he retreated back to Jiangnan Base, feeling the threat encroaching, fearing one day Ye Fan would come and annihilate him.

But it didn’t happen. Ye Fan went west, causing a lot of trouble, without having time to deal with him.

Then Zheng Jinnan’s envoy arrived, inviting him to join the alliance.

Ma Guoxing had no choice. He knew if he didn’t join this Alliance, once Ye Fan freed himself up, it would be his end.

So without hesitation, he joined Zheng Jinnan’s temporary cabinet, becoming one of its members.

Currently, Zheng Jinnan’s envoy still resides in his place.

......

"Leader Ma Guoxing, are all the ships you were asked to prepare ready?"

The special envoy was a middle-aged man, with a face full of worldliness and cunning.

Ma Guoxing nodded: "They’re ready, but I’m really curious. I understand preparing sea ships to carry a large force to attack Dawn Island, but what’s the use of secretly preparing so many river ships?"

During this time, Ma Guoxing seemed like a thief, silently and quietly preparing a large number of ships that could sail on the river.

These ships were not large, had small targets, and couldn’t go to sea; any slightly larger Ocean Giant Beast could capsize them, so they could only operate on the river.

However, the Jiangnan Base was not located on the Tianjiang Riverfront. Ma Guoxing really didn’t understand the use of these river ships.

The special envoy chuckled: "This will be kept confidential for now, but Leader Ma, just continue to gather ships. Sea ships can be stationed at the port, but the river ships must remain confidential."

Ma Guoxing thought for a moment: "Mister Envoy, I must remind you that the Dawn Army now has two aircraft carrier battle groups. Even if we gather a large number of sea ships, we cannot defeat them at sea, and their radar and reconnaissance planes buzz around every day. I’m afraid our ships will be discovered before reaching Dawn Island, which could be a disaster."

The special envoy waved his hand slightly: "No, no, no, think creatively. If you were Ye Fan, would you let our fleet get near Dawn Island?"

Ma Guoxing immediately shook his head: "Certainly not, if I had Ye Fan’s power, I would first eliminate these sea ships, depriving us of the ability to go to sea. At that point, no matter how much force we have, separated by Zhonghai from Dawn Island, we can only stare helplessly."

The special envoy laughed: "Exactly, but do you think Ye Fan wouldn’t realize the same issues you’ve thought of?"

Ma Guoxing was stunned: "Right, he would think of it too, so... our sea ships are at risk!"

With that, Ma Guoxing became a bit anxious: "This won’t do, our sea ships were not easy to gather. If they’re wiped out by the Dawn Army, we’ll be completely helpless. I must urgently strengthen harbor defenses and organize anti-aircraft firepower, preventing the Dawn Army from attacking my naval port like they did with the first fleet of Jiangzhou."

The special envoy quickly stopped him: "No rush, no rush, listen to me first. Setting up defenses must be done, but let me tell you, it won’t be very useful. Do you know how the Shanshen Country’s fleet was destroyed?"

Ma Guoxing’s face turned pale: "I heard it was a Sea Monster, is that true? Does Ye Fan really have such a capability?"

The special envoy nodded: "It’s true. The Shanshen Country’s fleet was indeed destroyed by Sea Monsters, apparently a group of giant octopuses. Now everyone suspects these octopuses are controlled by Ye Fan. Although we don’t know how he does it, the possibility is very high. Think about it, if he can control an octopus army, would your defenses be effective?"

Ma Guoxing immediately shook his head: "That would be useless, unless we move the ships tens of kilometers inland, but that’s impossible when you think about it."

At this point, he suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute! If you know the sea ships might be destroyed, why do you still want me to go through the trouble of collecting them?"

The special envoy smiled: "Looks like you’ve found the key point. To be honest with you, after a series of arrangements, we believe that Ye Fan will definitely use his octopuses or planes to attack your naval port, destroying those sea ships. Once he succeeds, he’ll let down his guard against you."

Ma Guoxing nodded: "Of course, without the sea ships, what threat would we pose to him?"

"Hahaha! Looks like you think the same. At this time, the river ships come in handy."

With that, the special envoy took a map and drew a line for Ma Guoxing.

"This, this, isn’t this the Yellow Leaf River in Zhonghai?"

"Exactly, this is the Yellow Leaf River. Leader Ma, don’t forget, your territory allows you to cross Zhonghai via the Huangpu River. Once you exit the river mouth, Dawn Island is just across. When your army suddenly appears, won’t it be able to attack Dawn Island directly, catching Ye Fan and his forces off guard?"

Ma Guoxing was stunned: "That’s right, but... but Zhonghai is full of zombies, I’m afraid my troops..."

"What’s there to fear about zombies? They’re just a bunch of walking corpses. Moreover, you’re sailing on the river; zombies can’t interfere with you. Several Adventurer Squads have crossed Zhonghai via the Yellow Leaf River after the apocalypse. Are your troops inferior to those adventurers?"

Hearing this, Ma Guoxing’s eyes became resolute.

"The envoy is right, I shouldn’t fear the zombie horde in Zhonghai, nor can I stay in Jiangnan and await fate. Once we successfully cross the Yellow Leaf River, Dawn Island won’t have time to react. This is our opportunity!"

"Exactly, Ye Fan should be ready to take action against us soon. Go ahead and set up defenses, perform the entire act. Don’t let him see any flaws. The success of this battle relies crucially on your troops’ actions. If this step succeeds, we can quickly win; if not, we’ll fall into a quagmire with the Dawn Army, a situation no one wants to see."

Ma Guoxing nodded: "My troops will land, will Jiangzhou coordinate with us?"

"Of course, once you reach the area near the confluence of Yellow Leaf River and Tianjiang, Jiangzhou’s fleet will immediately move east to coordinate with you. You fire the first shot; our main force will follow soon after."

"Alright! Let’s do as you say, Mister Envoy. I’ll go mobilize the troops and arrange defenses now."

Ma Guoxing left enthusiastically, feeling that this strategy was bound to succeed. The Dawn Army would never anticipate their arrangement.

After all, no one can completely guess the other’s schemes.

Imagining leading a mighty fleet down Yellow Leaf River, advancing along Tianjiang, and suddenly attacking Dawn Island, Ma Guoxing felt he was about to become the most famous person in the country.

The only trouble might be a few Corpse Kings in Zhonghai, but so what? He’s advancing in the river. As long as he guards against Mutated Birds, let the zombies howl on the shore.

No one will listen to their cries, no matter how hoarse.
