Chapter 346: Rocket Artillery Technology Advancement, 300 km Range, with Guidance

Havier sneered, "Let them go, the further forward the better. This suits our intentions perfectly; once the BW-7 is released, the frontline troops will bear the brunt of it."

"Yes, General," the staff officer continued, "According to simulation calculations, if the BW-7 is released at these three key points, the coverage area will include 90% of Long Country's frontline troops and logistics bases."

He marked three red dots on the map, which were precisely the areas where Long Country's troops were most densely concentrated.

"Perfect," Havier nodded with satisfaction, "They have no idea what they are walking toward. The more the Long Country people push forward, the more they are seeking their own destruction."

"General," Doctor Williams interjected, "Our XN-20 nerve agent is also ready and can be used in coordination with the BW-7. The BW-7 is responsible for large-scale lethality, while the XN-20 can be used for precision strikes on command centers and strategic points."

A cruel glint flashed in Havier's eyes: "A perfect combination. The Long Country people will face two types of lethal weapons simultaneously; they have neither vaccines nor antidotes, and the result can be imagined."

The conference room was filled with a cold, chilling excitement; these people were plotting a large-scale slaughter the likes of which had never been seen before.

"Then, the deployment time is set for next Wednesday at dawn," Havier concluded, "Our bombers will take off from the maritime base, avoid Long Country's radar network, and reach the target area before daybreak."

"General," Director Carter of the intelligence department reminded, "We need to consider the possible reaction of Beijixiong Guo. If they learn that we have used biochemical weapons..."

"Beijixiong will not have any substantive reaction," Havier interrupted him, "Our diplomatic channels are already at work to ensure they remain neutral regarding this operation. Moreover, once Long Country is severely crippled, Beijixiong will also re-evaluate their alliance."

Carter nodded, but his eyes still held worry.

"One more thing," Havier continued, "What is the progress on 'Shadow Project'? Has that Li Mingyuan been found?"

Carter shook his head: "Not yet. He has vanished into thin air, and our agents cannot get close to him. However, intelligence shows that a military industrial base of Long Country in the Dongbei region is unusually active, which is very likely related to him."

"Dispatch a special operations team," Havier ordered, "If it is confirmed he is there, take action immediately. This person is too dangerous; he must be eliminated before he develops more weapons."

"Yes, General."

As the meeting neared its end, Havier stood up and looked around at everyone: "Gentlemen, we are about to execute a mission that will change history. The rise of Long Country threatens our global hegemony, and we must stifle it. After this operation succeeds, it will take them at least twenty years to recover, and by then, the world order will have long been established."

He raised his coffee cup in a toast: "For the future of Di Guo, for our Victory!"

The crowd stood up one after another, raising their glasses in response: "For Victory!"

After the meeting ended, Doctor Langley and Doctor Williams walked side by side down the corridor.

"To be honest," Langley whispered, "do you think these weapons will really achieve the expected effect? After all, we have never used them in actual combat."

Williams revealed a chilling smile: "Rest assured, the effect will exceed everyone's imagination. Especially the BW-7; its contagiousness and lethality far exceed the data we reported to the Military. Once released, the entire northern part of Long Country will fall into an uncontrollable plague."

Langley looked at his colleague in surprise: "You mean..."

"Yes," Williams nodded, "This is not just a military strike, but a thorough ethnic cleansing. Ten years from now, history books might write: Long Country lost one-third of its population in a mysterious epidemic and could never rise again."

Langley shivered, but soon regained his composure: "War is war, isn't it? Only the victors have the qualifications to write history."

The two walked toward the elevator, continuing to discuss the details of the terrifying weapons they were about to release, as if they were merely talking about an ordinary scientific experiment.

Meanwhile, on the front line, Li Yunlong's troops of Long Country were pushing forward, completely unaware of what kind of death trap Di Guo was preparing for them.

On the large screen at Di Guo's command center, red dots represented the positions of Long Country's troops, and they were moving forward slowly but firmly.

"Look at these poor wretches," a high-ranking officer mocked, "They think they've gained an advantage, not knowing they are sticking their heads into a meat grinder."

General Havier stood in front of the screen, a cruel smile appearing on his face: "Let them continue to advance, the deeper the better. Soon, these red dots will all disappear, and the threat of Long Country will also disappear forever."

The night was deep, and most of the lights in the military industrial base had been extinguished, with only a few key buildings still brightly lit.

Li Mingyuan dragged his exhausted body on the way back to the laboratory; the successful test of the missile guidance system completed today put him in a good mood, but several days of high-intensity work had indeed left him drained.

"Damn it, this body isn't as good as the one I had in the modern era; I couldn't even hold up after just three days of staying up," Li Mingyuan rubbed his sore shoulders and muttered to himself.

Just as he stepped into the laboratory and prepared to collapse into a chair to rest for a while, a translucent blue window suddenly appeared before Li Mingyuan's eyes.

【Congratulations to the host, missile research and development successful, Insight Value +1000, obtained "Rocket Artillery Advanced Technology"!】

"Holy crap! It advanced!"

Just as he was surprised, a second message popped up:

【300 km Rocket Artillery Technology, Infrared Guidance!】

Li Mingyuan's sleepiness vanished in an instant; he stood up abruptly from the chair, his eyes staring fixedly at the information window in the air.

"A rocket artillery with a 300-kilometer range? And it has Infrared Guidance?" Li Mingyuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart, "This isn't just surpassing, this is a crushing blow!"

In his memory, the most advanced rocket artillery in the modern world had a range of only a little over one hundred kilometers; three hundred kilometers was simply unheard of. Not to mention it had Infrared Guidance—this was no longer a generational gap, but a dimensionality reduction strike!

The system window continued to expand, and a series of technical parameters appeared automatically:

【Rocket Artillery Model: Thor MK-1】

【Maximum Range: 300 km】

【Guidance Method: Infrared terminal autonomous homing】

【Warhead Weight: 150 kg】

【Accuracy: CEP less than 10 meters】

【Launch Device: 12-tube, vehicle-mounted or fixed】

【Single Salvo Time: All 12 Rocket Shells can be fired within 45 seconds】

【Rapid Reloading System: Fully automatic, can complete reloading within 3 minutes】

【Special Ability: Can carry a variety of warheads, including high-explosive fragmentation, armor-piercing, cluster, incendiary, etc.】
