Chapter 623 Orbital Strike on the Capital
"Report to the general! The field air surveillance radar detected a large number of units descending at high speed outside the atmosphere. Based on the characteristics, they are judged to be the airborne capsules of orbital paratroopers! The number is 300! The expected landing point is the capital city!"
"Orbital Paratroopers?!"
Lieutenant General Austin was shocked when he heard the report from his subordinates. After all, according to the intelligence he had previously obtained and the information provided by Elaine King and others, there was only an unsatisfied garrison fleet in the orbit of the capital star, and the orbital defense platform was also occupied by two Penetrated by the influence of the party leader, a blockade will be carried out once the 'pest control' operation begins.
Although not all orbital defense platforms will be controlled, they can at least stop the garrison fleet that lacks actual combat experience, let alone allow them to launch orbital airborne landings.
Although Lieutenant General Austin is a veteran of the Army, he was able to serve as the Chief of Army Training at the end of his service period, and returned to the capital to become the joint commander of three garrison brigades. He still had some connections and relationships, so he also It is very clear what the garrison fleet in orbit is.
The orbital paratroopers above may not be able to conduct airborne training once a year, let alone break through the orbital defense platform.
"What the hell is going on?"
Before Lieutenant General Austin could think about this problem clearly, the correspondent sitting on the other side of the command cabin suddenly said to him: "General, a communication request has been received!"
"Who initiated it?"
"It's Major General Henry, the commander of martial law." The correspondent was stunned for a moment when he saw the initiator of the communication, and then stammered.
Now the two armies are about to clash or fight. At this time, the enemy commander suddenly sent a communication request, which really surprised everyone in the command cabin, especially Lieutenant General Austin. At the same time, they were also curious about what the other party wanted to do. .
"Put it through and see what kind of medicine this guy is selling in his gourd"
Soon, the communication was connected, and after Lieutenant General Austin informed Elaine King and Thomas White of the situation, the two party leaders also connected in and planned to observe.
"Lieutenant General Austin, what on earth are you doing?!"
Major General Henry's voice was full of anger, but until this moment, he still remembered to use honorifics when facing Lieutenant General Austin, who had a higher military rank and position than himself.
"I"
Faced with Major General Henry's aggressive questioning, Lieutenant General Austin was just about to say something, but was interrupted by the former and heard the angry martial law commander continue:
"You should know that your Excellency the President has issued martial law. At this time, the capital garrison should be assembled at the station and await instructions at any time. What exactly do you want to do with two brigades heading towards the capital?"
Regarding this question, Lieutenant General Austin froze on the spot and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just say that he was here to carry out a 'military coup', right?
Thinking of this, he looked at the icons representing the two party leaders in the communication channel, and then said:
"Major General Henry, I know you are very angry and excited now, but I hope you can calm down, or... listen to what Ms. Elaine and Sir Thomas say?"
"The two damn ones are here too?" There was a pause on the communication channel, and then the more angry and serious voice of Major General Henry came. "What are you two guys going to do? Say something!"
But the next second, Lieutenant General Austin saw that he was on his side, and he was scrolling through a large number of text messages sent by the two party leaders. The core idea summarized was very simple - they did not accept it.
Seeing this scene, the veteran Army Lieutenant General couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he cursed in his heart that none of these politicians were reliable at the critical moment
Finally, he had to bite the bullet and said:
"Major General Henry, I hope you can calm down for the time being. We are actually just as worried about the country as you are."
"You guys are crazy! Are you worried about the country and going crazy to stage a military coup?!"
Lieutenant General Austin never thought that he would be pointed at and scolded by a junior with a lower military rank and seniority than him, and he immediately got angry: "Major General! I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds. You are always so polite." Did Shangguan speak? ”
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I'm warning you one last time. Take your troops and get back to your base immediately, or you'll be blown to pieces by orbital strikes!" Major General Henry said coldly, and added another sentence after a moment. ：
"And those two bitches who are listening, just wait for the missiles from the orbital assault ship to fall on your heads! If the Capitol Building is blown up, it will be blown up. At worst, we can just build a taller one in the future!"
< br>
“Du——————”
Lieutenant General Austin and the other two observers woke up as if they were dreaming.
"Hey wait a minute, did he just say 'orbital strike'?"
Republican leader Thomas White was the first to react. It seemed that the Capitol building where he was was also a target.
"Didn't you say that the orbital defense platform will stop those idiots in the garrison? Why are there even orbital strikes now?!"
Elaine Jinye said: "This should be the other party's bluff, right?"
"This...maybe not a bluff."
Lieutenant General Austin did not dare not to tell the truth at this moment, and immediately answered: "Just now, the air defense radar has captured the orbital paratroopers entering the atmosphere. From a time point of view, during the time we just talked, these orbital paratroopers The drop pod may have smashed through the dome of the Capital District and landed"
"No. Where are the capital's anti-aircraft weapons? Just let them fall?"
"The air defense weapons of the Capital District are naturally in the hands of the Capital Security Command - which is now the Martial Law Command. What's more, the 'pest eradication' plan did not consider the orbital airborne troops at the beginning, so naturally it was not considered. Penetrating anti-aircraft weapons units."

"."
There was silence in the communication channel for a moment, and finally Thomas White spoke:
"Even if orbital paratroopers descend, it doesn't mean that the other side really dares to carry out orbital strikes, right? This is the capital. Do they want the federal capital to be plunged into a sea of fire?"
——
"Attention, orbital attack ship unit, the approximate location of the rebel main force has been transmitted. Please capture the attack target yourself! The Capital Security Command and Martial Law Command authorize you to carry out orbital strikes against the Capital District and surrounding areas!"
In the direct communication between the Martial Law Command and the Garrison Fleet Orbital Assault Ship Squadron, Major General Henry's firm tone made everyone aware of the determination of this 'capital defender'.
"The orbital attack ship detachment has received it and will carry out the orbital strike mission according to the scheduled plan"
After completing the airdrop of orbital paratroopers, the 30 near-altitude orbital attack ships that quickly circled the star once again returned to the sky above the capital like a string of necklaces hanging in the air.
But this time, what opened at the bottom of their hulls were missile silos exposing internal warheads.
There was no hesitation or hesitation, just resolute obedience to the orders of these naval men carefully selected by Marshal Trafalgar.
Under the influence of the electromagnetic acceleration orbit, each 'Peace Dove' orbital ground attack missile quickly ejected out of the launch silo with fleeting electric lights.
Accelerate, maneuver, change orbit, and then plunge into the atmosphere along the planned attack trajectory.
On this day, the residents of the federal capital planet also saw a ‘shooting star’ falling from the sky for the second time.
