Chapter 1228: Nuclear Annihilation or Surrender
Bei Ta Base, in a moment of earth-shaking turmoil, turned into a wasteland.
Bei Ta began transferring as soon as Yingjiang's nuclear missile launched.
By the time the nuclear missile landed, he had already completed the landing.
He also owed it to his earlier data backup; without it, he could not have finished the transfer in such a short time.
"Destroy, destroy their launch devices for me."
Again, countless nuclear missiles rose into the sky.
Target launch facilities.
In the first round, Yingjiang gained the initiative but also exposed its launch facilities.
Although Bei Ta launched later, it reduced its exposure.
Therefore, Bei Ta still had a huge number of launch facilities.
Moreover, robots are best at constructing mechanical structures.
Bei Ta had made many backups long ago.
In many places, there was only a single nuclear missile rocket.
So Yingjiang blasted into emptiness.
As the second round of nuclear missiles rose into the sky.
Yingjiang was dumbfounded, because it was too late and they had not finished preparing for the second launch.
Only the launch vehicles purchased from the Big Building were ready.
Moreover, they changed location after each shot, making it hard for Bei Ta to lock onto them even if detected.
"We bought too few."
In the second nuclear exchange, Yingjiang suffered huge losses.
They were so frightened they dared not launch a counterattack immediately.
Because they feared their launch vehicles would also be destroyed, which would completely eliminate their counterattack capability.
Meanwhile, in the first strike, they had actually achieved their strategic objective.
That was destroying large amounts of Bei Ta's industrial equipment.
Not only machinery, but even power suffered a devastating blow.
Without electricity, Bei Ta's military industry could not operate at full capacity.
This could buy them a little more time to resist.
Bei Ta did not know these things; he only knew that in his second nuclear strike he had achieved great success.
The government's nuclear counterattack capability was almost completely destroyed.
"Send the message to them again."
"Nuclear annihilation or surrender."
The Yingjiang leader told everyone this message in the bunker conference room.
"All right, the other side has sent another message."
"Nuclear annihilation, or surrender."
"Let's discuss, what should we do?"
In everyone's mind, surrender was impossible.
They would rather flee than surrender.
Especially the Yingjiang that had been nuked, their standing in everyone's mind had already sunk low.
"Our people have almost all entered the air-raid shelters."
"Being bombed once or twice makes no difference."
"So, if they want, they can certainly continue."
"Aowei is right; their industry has been almost completely destroyed by us."
"They simply dare not continue the offensive."
"Because losing each robot is a real loss, they can hardly replenish as before."
"Even if they attack, we have the Big Building's unmanned equipment, so we need not leave the air-defense base at all."
"Use the Big Building's unmanned equipment as much as possible to destroy the enemy's targets."
"If it's not enough, we can keep buying from the Big Building."
"To a certain extent, we now hold the advantage."
"Moreover, although radiation does not harm us as much as them, it can cause them great interference and accelerate their aging."
"We don't even need to do anything; their numbers will naturally dwindle."
"Doing nothing is victory for us."
"Moreover, the Big Building and the Yang Family have already begun carrying out purging operations worldwide."
"In the end, they will still come to us ourselves."
"There's no helping it; who let Bei Ta be something we created?"
"If Bei Ta is not eliminated, this world will never know peace."
"So now, we had best meet all changes with constancy."
"We learned this from the Big Building."
"What he said made perfect sense, and most of the people in the conference room agreed with him."
"Then let's stand by without moving."
"Best to neither refuse nor oppose, dragging it out as long as possible."
"This proposal is good."
"Just do it like that."
Beta waited a long time, but still didn't get a reply.
Soon he figured it out: they thought their industry had been destroyed.
So they thought they didn't dare to attack.
"Idiot, you all know how to dig air-raid shelters; don't you know we could move mechanical manufacturing underground?"
"Attack, attack for me."
"No, conduct another round of precision strikes, then have me attack."
"You think hiding underground is enough?"
"I don't believe you don't need to breathe air."
"Especially with over a hundred million people breathing, don't you need ventilation?"
"You'd be willing to do an internal oxygen cycle like the Big Building's space base construction?"
"You have time to play with them."
"After another round of attack, countless mechanical legions began to charge toward human territory."
"After the Yingjiang leader heard this news, he was frightened and called another meeting."
"What should we do?"
Everyone fell silent.
"There's no other way; let's start following our plan."
"Use unmanned equipment to wage a war of attrition against Beta."
"That's all we can do."
Someone raised an objection.
"What for? How could relying solely on unmanned equipment work?"
"We still need humans and machine teams to cooperate; that's how we get the best results."
Actually, it's just reluctance to spend money.
These pieces of equipment all need to be bought from the Big Building.
But people don't have to spend money.
"Exactly, human-machine cooperation yields better results."
People in radiation suits—how are they supposed to fight?
Not wearing anti-radiation gear—what's the difference from self-harm?
"Radiation suits also cost money—more expensive than weapons—what kind of stupid idea is that?"
That person wasn't panicking at all.
"Can I get cheap anti-radiation suits?"
"Cheap?"
"How cheap?"
"Very cheap—cheaper than unmanned equipment."
Now everyone understood what he meant.
Using fake radiation suits to deceive them.
Anyway, they've done this kind of thing before.
So everyone chose to stay silent.
In the end, the matter was decided just like that.
No one spoke up for the soldiers anymore.
What happened in the West shocked the whole world.
For a time, radiation protection became a mainstream topic.
At the same time, people all over the world fell into worry about radiation.
Many people quit their jobs and started radiation-protection businesses at home.
Yang Qing was also shocked by the ruthlessness of Beta and Yingjiang.
They didn't treat people as human at all.
"We can't let them keep going; otherwise, one careless mistake could rip things apart and destroy everything."
"Speed up the eradication plan."
Yang Feihong quickly received Yang Qing's order.
By then, their eradication efforts were nearly done.
Only those places that were unaffected and relatively close to Daxia had not yet made a final decision.
These places regarded the Big Building as a great mountain.
And that mountain had not yet made a final decision.
