Chapter 518

The news of the Freedom Country sending troops to launch a surprise attack on the area currently under the Dragon Kingdom's actual control in the Desert Camel Kingdom.

Soon, it spread across the Dragon Kingdom as if it had grown legs.

In an instant.

Public opinion in the Dragon Kingdom exploded.

This news soon climbed to the front page headlines of major news media at an unimaginable speed!

At this moment, the hearts of almost all Dragon Kingdom citizens were in their throats.

The war came suddenly, and the opponent was the most powerful Freedom Country on the Blue Star!

For the people of the Dragon Kingdom who have lived in peace for decades, it would be impossible not to be panicked!

But soon, the originally panicked Dragon Kingdom people calmed down immediately.

That's right!

What "number one on the Blue Star" Freedom Country?

Hadn't they already been soundly beaten by our Dragon Kingdom several times before?

Why be afraid of them?

Besides, the one going head-to-head with the Freedom Country this time is our Dragon Kingdom's strongest army!

Back then, our Dragon Kingdom, relying on millet and rifles, could fight the Freedom Country to a draw on the Korean Peninsula!

Now that the equipment is the same, how could we be afraid of the Freedom Country?

Thinking of this, the morale of the Dragon Kingdom people became even higher.

"Damn it! Let's fight! At worst, we'll go back to the pre-liberation days! What the hell are we afraid of!"

"If they want to fight, let's fight. I've lived through hard times and good times, but I can't live a cowardly life!"

"Where is the recruitment channel? I'll be the first to go to the battlefield!"

"Since this battle is unavoidable, let our generation bleed so that our children and grandchildren can live the good life of the Freedom Country and the European Union!"

"Exactly! Let's fight!"

At the critical moment of the great war, after the baptism of so many events, the hearts of the Dragon Kingdom people had long been tightly twisted into a rope.

Facing the threat of war, there wasn't a single coward!

Many men might be bullied by their wives at home, or might be called "daughter slaves" or "henpecked."

But at this moment, their spines were all standing straight.

Who doesn't fear war?

Who doesn't fear death?

But for the sake of the Dragon Kingdom, countless Dragon Kingdom people did not choose to retreat, but stood together against the enemy to overcome the national crisis!

At this critical juncture.

The Dragon Kingdom's Armed Forces Department, which usually received no attention, was now having its recruitment phones blown up.

Young men in their twenties were one thing.

Eighty-year-old grandpas insisted they had practiced martial arts and wanted to join the army.

Middle-aged uncles in their forties and fifties also wanted to join the army.

Most outrageously, teenage girls were also frantically calling, wanting to go to the front line to take care of the soldiers...

Until finally, after the Armed Forces Department issued an appeal stating that there were enough soldiers and thanking the masses for their enthusiasm, this farce finally subsided slightly.

On the other side, in Dragon Kingdom society, the war brought not only fear, but also ignited the bloodiness hidden deep in the hearts of the Dragon Kingdom people!

Even at this juncture, there was no chaos in Dragon Kingdom society.

Residents went to the streets to purchase a large amount of supplies, but there was no frantic buying.

Everyone in their hearts had already prepared themselves psychologically to fight to the end, to fight until the last person!

At the same time.

On the other side, a video conference at the highest level of the Dragon Kingdom was initiated by the Great Leader's office, directly connecting to the Dragon Kingdom's military headquarters and senior generals above the rank of General!

And Song Qi, although only a Major General, was clearly among those on the call.

However, the generals were not surprised at all by Song Qi's appearance; on the contrary, they felt exceptionally at ease because of his arrival!

Song Qi's recovery was not a secret among the highest levels of the Dragon Kingdom.

Song Qi's appearance was equivalent to giving everyone a shot of adrenaline.

Even Major General Song is here?

Wouldn't this war be a piece of cake?

Perhaps because it was a satellite video call, the generals present were also very open.

Soon, the conference room was covered by a chorus of cursing.

"Damn it! These damn Freedom Country beasts have no martial virtue, actually resorting to sneak attacks. Although our soldiers north of the front line were alert, they still suffered heavy losses!"

"The ones sent to the front line are General Chen Chen Chen Guoan and Wang Lao, who are known for their steadiness. I believe they will definitely be able to teach these damn Freedom Country scum a hard lesson!"

"Damn it! They fight as soon as they say so! A little bit of oil, as if it were the Freedom Country's life..."

"..."

Listening to the angry curses in his ears, Song Qi remained silent, his eyes fixed on the screen, not knowing what he was thinking.

Knock... knock... knock!

Just then, a crisp, rhythmic knocking sound came from the conference room, as if someone was tapping the table with their fingers.

In an instant.

The conference room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Great Leader stopped knocking.

At this moment, his face was heavy, and his brows were filled with dissatisfaction.

"Because the situation is urgent, I initiated this video conference directly! But this video conference is not for you to curse!"

"Those who were just cursing in the live stream and wasting everyone's time, if I hear you spouting nonsense again, just get out of the room!"

The Great Leader's majestic voice came through.

The few who had been letting themselves go in the conference room were instantly scared into silence, like quails drenched in cold rain on a winter night.

They didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

After controlling the situation, the Great Leader didn't waste any time.

On the battlefield, time is life; the Great Leader understood this principle.

The next second, he turned his head to look at the political commissar in charge of mobilizing supplies for the army behind him.

"Luo Gong! How is the equipment situation for the soldiers on the front line?"

"The war has broken out; they are all our fellow countrymen of the Dragon Kingdom, and the life of any soldier cannot be easily abandoned!"

The man the Great Leader called Luo Gong hurriedly replied.

"Reporting to the Great Leader, over the past month, our Dragon Kingdom's major military factories have been working at full capacity to manufacture military equipment!"

"The number of special combat armors, under full-speed production, has reached twenty thousand pieces..."

"As for other military equipment, there are three aircraft carriers in total, and two have been sent to the battlefield..."

"..."

Listening to the voice in his ears, the Great Leader's face gradually sank.

"Not enough!"

"Still far from enough!"

"Twenty thousand pieces of armor, our Dragon Kingdom has sent at least one hundred thousand soldiers there! The number will continue to increase later! We can't even do one armor per person!"

"Soldiers without armor, what are they if not cannon fodder on the battlefield?"

"Immediately increase production! Open up production lines! At all costs, we must get our soldiers' equipment up to standard!"

"But... but..."

Luo Gong's expression was struggling, and he hesitated several times.

"But what?" the Great Leader questioned.

"Great Leader! Our military factories have already reached their limit..."

"Over the past month, we have tried our best to expand the military factories, but the war came too fast! Most of the military factories have only been built to a rough stage..."

"Energy... in terms of energy, there is also some insufficient supply!"

"If this continues, civilian electricity can last at most one month; any longer, and I'm afraid there will be large-scale power outages..."
