Chapter 354: We Have a Traitor Among Us

Meanwhile, inside the emergency conference room of the Di Guo Ministry of Defense, the remaining high-ranking officers were terrified.

"The biochemical weapons depot has been destroyed? All of it?" The Di Guo Minister of Defense could not believe his ears.

"Yes, Minister!" a staff officer said with a look of panic, "All three storage bases were hit with precision strikes, and a large amount of biochemical material has leaked! Severe contamination has already begun to appear in the surrounding areas, and our own soldiers are dying in large numbers!"

"Why did this happen..." the Minister of Defense muttered to himself, his voice filled with despair, "How could the Long Country people have this kind of precision strike capability? How could they know the locations of our secret bases?"

The staff officers looked at each other, and no one could answer.

At this moment, a Communication Officer rushed in: "Minister! Urgent report from the front line! Our army's positions have collapsed across the board! The Long Country military has launched a large-scale counterattack!"

The Minister of Defense turned pale, "What? How could it be so fast?"

"The strike range of the Long Country Remote Rocket Launcher is too large! They seem to have fired five or six hundred Rocket Shells at once; our Anti-aircraft System simply cannot intercept so many targets!" the Communication Officer said with a trembling voice, "The front-line command system has been completely paralyzed, the troops have fallen into a state of disorganization, large numbers of soldiers are retreating, and even... some have started to surrender!"

The Minister of Defense slammed his fist on the table, "That idiot Havier! What about his 'Terminator' plan? What about the biochemical weapons?"

"It's all over!" the Communication Officer said in despair, "The suicide aircraft squadron was completely wiped out at the airport, and the biochemical weapons were not only failed to be launched at Long Country, but instead leaked during the explosion, poisoning our own people!"

The Minister of Defense seemed to age ten years in an instant; he slumped into his chair and muttered, "How could this be... it was clearly our preemptive strike plan... how did the Long Country people manage to strike first instead?"

At the Di Guo Eastern Theater Command Post, there was chaos.

"General! The range of the Long Country Remote Rocket Launcher is too far! We can't find their launch positions at all!" an officer shouted hysterically.

The Commander of the Eastern Theater paced anxiously, "Damn it! Send reconnaissance planes to find them! You must find the locations of those Remote Rocket Launchers!"

"The reconnaissance planes have all been shot down!" the officer said, almost crying, "Our Radar Station has also been destroyed; we are completely fighting blind now!"

Just then, another round of alarms sounded!

"General! Another batch of Rocket Shells is incoming! The target is our command post!"

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" the Commander of the Eastern Theater ordered in a panic, but it was too late.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The command post was hit by over a dozen Rocket Shells in succession and instantly turned into a sea of fire. The command system of the Eastern Theater was completely paralyzed.

Meanwhile, the Di Guo Western Theater also fell into the same nightmare.

"This is simply a disaster!" the Commander of the Western Theater roared at the half-destroyed communication equipment, "How did the Long Country people do it? How could the range of their Remote Rocket Launcher reach three hundred kilometers?"

No one could answer his question.

What was even more terrifying was that Di Guo began to receive horrific reports from all over: around the biochemical weapons bases destroyed by the Missile, toxic clouds were spreading rapidly!

"We must evacuate the civilians in the surrounding areas immediately!" a medical official suggested urgently, "Once BW-7 and XN-20 leak, the contamination range could exceed fifty kilometers!"

"It's too late..." the Deputy Minister of National Defense said in despair, "There are military facilities of ours around those bases; I'm afraid tens of thousands of soldiers have already been poisoned!"

Worse still, the intelligence system of Di Guo had also suffered a severe blow.

"All intelligence stations on the front line have lost contact!" the Director of the Intelligence Department reported, "We now know nothing about the movements of the Long Country military!"

The Minister of Defense gave a bitter smile, "I only want to know one thing now: how did Long Country learn of our 'Terminator' plan? And how did they know the locations of our biochemical weapons bases?"

The Director of the Intelligence Department turned pale, "There is only one possibility... we have a traitor in our midst!"

This thought made everyone in the conference room shudder.

During the emergency evacuation of the Di Guo Ministry of Defense, a Colonel suddenly stopped the Minister of Defense:

"Minister! The Long Country's Remote Rocket Launcher and Missile system were very likely developed by Li Mingyuan! According to our latest analysis, the technical level of this Remote Rocket Launcher and precision-guided Missile far exceeds our expectations!"

The Minister of Defense's face was gloomy, "Li Mingyuan... it's him again! Why haven't we been able to eliminate this threat?"

The Colonel said in a low voice: "The several batches of assassins we sent have all gone missing... Long Country's protection of him is exceptionally tight."

"Damn it all!" the Minister of Defense slammed his fist against the wall, "A damn technician has actually changed the entire course of the war!"

On the Di Guo front line, the rout was already inevitable.

Having lost their command system and air support, the enemy troops fell into unprecedented chaos. Some units began to retreat on their own, and others even threw down their weapons and fled.

"Come back! Everyone come back!" a Di Guo Colonel shouted in the chaos, trying to stop the soldiers from fleeing, but no one paid any attention.

In the distance, the Long Country military had already launched a fierce counterattack, and various heavy weapons were roaring as they advanced toward the enemy positions.

What terrified the enemy troops even more was that they began to receive horrific reports: in their own rear, the leaked biochemical weapons were causing large-scale casualties!

"Help! Requesting medical support!" a front-line commander called out in despair, "We are being attacked by our own poison gas! Large numbers of soldiers are dying!"

But his call received no response. The Di Guo medical system had also been paralyzed and was completely unable to cope with this sudden disaster.

General Havier, the main architect of this disaster, was currently lying in a temporary field Hospital. His leg had been blown off by a shell, and his face was covered in wounds caused by glass shards.

"Connect me to headquarters!" he ordered weakly yet stubbornly, "I want to know the current situation!"

A medical worker shook their head helplessly, "General, communications have been cut off... we have lost contact with headquarters."

"Then at least give me a battlefield report!" Havier roared.

The medical worker hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to tell the cruel truth: "General... we are retreating across the board. The Long Country's Remote Rocket Launcher has destroyed all our front-line facilities, and their Missile has hit our rear bases... including..."

"Including what?" Havier asked through gritted teeth.

"Including all the biochemical weapons storage points. The poison gas... has leaked. Our own people are being poisoned and dying."

Havier widened his eyes, his lips trembling, but he could not speak.

His "Terminator" plan had not only failed to destroy Long Country, but had instead turned into a nightmare for Di Guo itself.
