Chapter 338

Dr. Wen Xia said.

Hearing this, Lin Yi was delighted, then looked at CEO Yang Chen and the leaders of the major departments and instructed:

"For the next period, you must follow Dr. Wen's arrangements. The company will provide people if needed, and materials if needed.

If we don't have them, go purchase them immediately... Within half a month, we must manufacture our other flagship product, carbon fiber material.

Remember, this is an important step for our company to step into diversification.

If anyone drags their feet and cannot keep up with the company's progress, don't blame me for being heartless!"

Hearing the boss say this, the leaders of the major departments solemnly guaranteed that they would follow the company's pace.

After arranging the overall company line, the remaining trivial arrangements were CEO Yang Chen's business.

Lin Yi left directly.

And on the other side,

the Dragon Nation military took several days to transport all the weapons purchased from DWS to the designated location.

Here, a team of experts prepared by the Dragon Nation conducted the acceptance.

These experts were composed of military-industrial enterprises such as the Dragon Nation Ordnance Industry Group, Aviation Industry Group, and Weaponry Equipment Group.

It can be said that they condensed a group of the Dragon Nation's national treasure-level scientists.

"These weapons are truly perfectly manufactured!"

After testing an M12A Abrams, an old expert was not sighing at how excellent the tank was,

but was shocked by the technology used to manufacture this tank.

The entire tank looked as if it were molded as one piece, without any weld points.

This is inconceivable in terms of modern manufacturing technology.

The experts from the Aviation Industry Group had eyes shining at the modernized Bear Nation M160M and Apache helicopters.

They couldn't wait to tear these pieces of equipment apart right now for research.

Once all the weapons passed acceptance,

the many generals who had rushed over specifically were no longer calm.

"These tanks, our Central Theater wants 100, and 30 Apaches..."

A middle-aged man with the rank of General said.

"Old Yu, you really have thick skin. Your Central Theater wants 100, so what does our Southern Theater want? Old Yu, you can have 100, and our Southern Theater will also have 100...!"

Another General said.

"What's the Southern Theater? We in the Central Theater are guarding the safety of the capital... Old Duan!"

The Eastern Commander said.

"You guard the capital, so we don't guard the coast? Forget it, whatever you want, I want the same amount!"

The Southern Theater Commander gave no face at all.

"Old Yu, Old Duan, you two have wrapped up the Central and South, so are we in the Eastern Theater supposed to eat dirt?"

Another General said.

This year, the Dragon Nation had officially changed its long-standing seven major military regions into five major theaters.

The five theater commanders had naturally heard about this procurement of equipment from the DWS platform by the military.

So, before they even waited for the acceptance, they directly took military planes to the base,

the purpose naturally being to snatch the weapons and equipment.

After all, this equipment was all active-duty equipment of the Ugly Nation,

and after their testing, this equipment was even more advanced than the same type of active-duty equipment in the Ugly Nation.

This made those military-industrial experts have to sigh.

The Dragon Nation still had a clear gap with the other side in certain equipment.

However, they did not know that the reason these pieces of equipment were so advanced

was partly due to the title bonus Lin Yi obtained, which increased the performance of all weapons by 10%.

This also led to the fact that at this time, the Dragon Nation's various weapons were comprehensively lagging behind.

But, even the Ugly Nation's own current equipment had a not-insignificant gap with the similar products on the DWS platform.

Under these circumstances, these Generals naturally wanted to risk their reputations to get the good stuff into their own territories.

Although everyone was a soldier for the Dragon Nation to protect the country,

no one would complain about having more good things in their own nest.

For a time, regarding the distribution issue, these Generals in the base were arguing endlessly,

and simply could not decide.

One moment someone said, your Eastern Theater is mainly Navy and Air Force,

why do you need so many tanks?

One moment someone said, our Western Theater's main strength is Army and Air Force.

They should get more tanks and helicopters.

Finally, it was only after three days of intense discussion by the military that the ownership of this batch of weapons was settled.

Some theater leaders were naturally full of joy, while others could only wait for the next batch.

And just at this time, the Ugly Army, which had been preparing for more than a month, finally moved.

On March 18, the coalition forces led by the Ugly Army,

with the first batch of 60,000 troops, took advantage of the night and, with the help of troop transport ships, landed in Tartus, the southwestern province of Syria.

This batch of soldiers included 53,000 from the Ugly Nation, 5,000 from John Bull, 1,000 from Kangaroo Nation, and 100 from Stick Nation, etc.

These soldiers were fully armed and attacked all the way along the railway from Tartus towards the southeast.

Relying on a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and the Air Force,

the coalition forces captured cities one after another, successively taking Safita, Hosenburg, and other cities.

In this process, the resistance from the Syrian side was very limited.

They retreated all the way to the western Syrian city of Homs before they seemed to stabilize their position.

Homs City is located on the banks of the Orontes River, 162 kilometers north of the capital Damascus, at an altitude of about 500 meters.

Its status as a center of an agricultural region and a transportation hub is very important.

The railway here connects north to the northern stronghold of Aleppo, west to the capital of Lebanon, Beirut, and turns into the country's capital, Damascus.

At the same time, the oil pipeline from the country's Karachuk oil field and the oil pipeline from the Iraq Kirkuk oil field also pass through the outskirts of the city.

It can be said that Homs City is very important to the Syrian side.

In the past, if the Ugly Army carried out bombing,

besides the capital and the northern stronghold of Aleppo, this place would definitely be the first choice.

However, at this time, nearly 60,000 coalition troops encountered fierce resistance in Homs City.

The Syrian government army's resistance consciousness was very tenacious, even with the Syrian Sunni anti-government armed forces leading the way.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting in Homs City.

With the Syrian civil war over these years, many parts of Homs City had long been a ruin.

Most citizens had long since left the city.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides in this city had no scruples at all.

The Ugly Army opened the way with heavy artillery; this time the Ugly Army was equipped with M270 multiple launch rocket systems, a large number of M30, 81mm, and 107mm mortars,

as well as M29 81mm mortars, M110 203mm howitzers, etc.

Cooperating with armed helicopters, tanks, and Air Force support, they once suppressed the Syrian military so they couldn't lift their heads.

However, the Syrian side was not a pushover either.

They used a large number of drones to launch suicide attacks on some of the Ugly Army's artillery positions.

At the same time, various anti-tank missiles, and even the Ugly Nation's own Javelin anti-tank missiles, were used by the Syrian military as if they were extensions of their own arms.

And when the enemy attacked, the Syrian side would all dive into the tunnels they had prepared long ago.

And as soon as the opponent entered the city ruins, it was all kinds of sneak attacks.

For a time, the Ugly Army's progress in Homs City was extremely slow,

and instead, they lost quite a bit of equipment under various suicide drone attacks.

For a short time, the two sides were completely stuck in a war of attrition.

It could be said that it was very difficult for the Ugly Army to break through Homs City. ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
