Before the battle even started, the strategic deployment had already been leaked.

Not sure whether to say their confidentiality measures are terrible or if there’s another hidden agenda.

"....."

Family Joy listened and frowned immediately.

He wasn’t sure how much truth there was to it, because given the situation with the British and Americans on the other side, they could really pull off something outrageous like this.

It might also be a tactic of electronic deception, crying wolf to scare us, or perhaps they have other key targets and are planning to use diversion tactics.

But regardless of which, air combat is currently far beyond the reach of the forces that the players have.

The only thing they could involve in air combat was the Raider unmanned drone, but this thing only had short-range subsonic flight capabilities with limited range, hardly enough for self-defense.

So he reminded,

"Air combat isn’t within our strategic jurisdiction; Military Technology over there probably knows about this already. We just need to remind them and focus on ground air defense and self-preservation."

Then he noticed that the Commander-in-Chief was looking at him with a strange expression.

The look seemed to say,

Don’t intervene?

How could that be!

Having been around the players for this period, he could already see through their nature and intentions at a glance.

This was clearly the prelude to stirring up trouble.

And a big one at that!

Though this was the cyber command for the player army, there were some things they couldn’t handle.

Because the command only managed strategic overviews and some tactical arrangements. The frontline players were responsible for execution, but once the frontline players got hot-headed and impulsively did something extra, they couldn’t control it.

And these moves usually ended up being wildly absurd, like the Giant with their flying tank trying to shoot down airplanes, a concept Family Joy couldn’t wrap his mind around how anyone could pull off.

Thus,

Family Joy’s heart skipped a beat, Adam’s apple moved slightly

"What are you planning?"

"Ha——"

The Commander-in-Chief grinned, a wheezy laugh emanating from his throat, as strange as could be

"Haven’t we always been short of an air force? So we’ve been pondering ways to fill this gap."

The disadvantage in numbers and armor strength, players can compensate for with their superlative combat and execution abilities. Even though Havana had mobilized over ten thousand troops, they still managed to achieve victory after victory.

But for the air force, especially high-altitude units, they’ve never really found a way to fill this void, having to rely on New America and the Raider drone fleets.

But New America was only responsible for air superiority over Pig Bay Beach. Once out of this area, players have to face the enemy air force, so even though they win repeatedly on the ground, they cannot effectively push the front line.

However, buying aircraft is too expensive, Lin Miao didn’t dare to consider those things, a fourth-generation fighter costs at least tens of millions of Orokin, even in the cyber world’s thin veil of modern productivity.

And you’d need a sufficient number of fighters to conduct air combat, otherwise, they’d just be targets, so there’s no intention to purchase Military Science’s aircraft at the moment, not even from the war points exchange store.

The Commander-in-Chief’s face grew more and more excited.

"Now, we’ve come up with a brilliant plan. If this large-scale air force attack is real, we have a chance to get a lot of fourth-gen fighters all at once, filling our gap in the air force, without having to wait for those combat aircraft from Military Technology."

"Wh.... What plan?"

Brilliant....

Even in Cyberspace, hearing that word made sweat bead on Family Joy’s forehead.

He’d seen all those combat records from the past year that were termed brilliant by the players.

Not a single one was reliable.

The Commander-in-Chief didn’t treat Family Joy as an outsider, and immediately sent over the combat plan.

"What the hell——"

Family Joy was shocked, the composure of the past month vanished at this moment.

"Are you crazy? Is this a tactic a human could come up with?!"

Imaginational?

No!

There’s no way any sane person would do this!

The Commander-in-Chief chuckled

"But we think it could work, there’s a decent success rate, and West Fire Grass said there’s a lot of activity at Havana’s airport, likely to take off for action this afternoon, a prime opportunity."

Family Joy wanted to say ’Oh sure, is there any plan in this world that you think is unreliable?’

He figured it out. For the players, any plan that looks unreliable at first glance is probably reliable.

Reliable?

Just looking for fun, more like!

For the serious-minded Family Joy, he would never possibly agree to such a plan, but he had no authority to decide, only to suggest.

Reluctantly, Family Joy could only pass the plan to Wildman.

"Take a look."

Wildman took a look, and immediately his eyes lit up.

"Holy crap! This is interesting, how did you come up with it?"

Family Joy’s vision went dark for a moment.

It’s all over!

"Old Three, this is the most I’ve ever trusted you in my life, you must complete the mission!"

The Truth Department heavily patted his good brother on the shoulder, face serious, like entrusting him with something very important.

But the good brother wasn’t happy at all, face turning extremely sour, voice trembling

"Big Bro, can’t you stop trusting me? Your trust is too heavy."

"How can that be?"

The Truth Department’s eyes widened

"You’re my best brother. If I don’t trust you, who else would I trust? That wimp Second? You’re our Super Earth’s first Baturu, show your mettle, the sky belongs to Super Earth!"
