Great loving mother...
Jiang Sui's pupils dilated slightly. He never expected that this phrase would come out of Apstein's mouth. He never expected that he would hear it outside of the Immaculate Life Sect!
Being used to being talked about by little cultists, Jiang Sui's first impression of this church was that of a pheasant and unreliable little faith nestled in the south.
But for Apstein, the taste is completely different!
Although Jiang Sui was shocked, he didn't show any timidity at all: "I'm surprised that a person like you would actually believe in some sect... But judging from the current situation, your faith can't save your fate."
"I want to kill..."
Click!
After the control robot hung up the intercom, the expression on Jiang Sui's face on the frigate was not so relaxed.
It stands to reason that the armor produced with Tianhaixing's technological power should be shattered into slag after being bombarded by the frigate's firepower for two rounds.
But the battleship that had been controlled by the robot guards was only moderately injured at this time!
Even though Jiang Sui's frigate is the lowest-equipped frigate, it only has a T5-level point defense particle gun, with extremely low range and insufficient damage... But this is only compared to other space battleships.
No wonder, even if Sanhai Bank has such a strong armored unit, it is still at a disadvantage in the war with the Life Unsullied Sect.
"This cult is not as simple as I thought." Jiang Sui broke away from the robot controller and sat in front of the cockpit. "I even have some doubts now... Is this church the native faith of Tianhaixing?"
The military operation against the Eastern Ocean Islands went as smoothly as expected - in a situation where intelligence, military preparations, and local forces were completely one-sided, the garrison on the islands could not create much trouble at all.
But the information revealed by Apstein is not that simple.
The absolute top of a force actually believes in the Immaculate Life sect? Why is an ordinary-looking battleship said to be a gift from a great and loving mother?
Drugs, the human body, flesh and blood, sex... are indeed consistent with the name of this sect.
All speculations will have to wait until the warship is pulled back to the port before we can get the first clues.
At this time, Gu Qinghuan, dressed in a sharp military uniform, came from the door and reported: "Your Majesty Governor, all the 'hostages' in the intelligence have been safely transferred to the plane. You can now order a general attack."
[You have occupied the airport...more than 80% of the hostages have been rescued...]
[The current war progress is 2/4 (you have not yet reached the necessary conditions for victory)]
At this time, Jiang Sui was no longer thinking about the East Ocean Islands, which was within easy reach. He said casually without raising his eyes: "We can attack in general, but if conditions permit, it's best to capture Apstein alive... By the way, remember this when attacking. You must turn on the camera, and don’t destroy the evidence if you can.”
War always affects the whole body. How to investigate the Life Unsullied Sect after the victory and how to deal with the subsequent counterattack of the Eastern Ocean Trading Group are the top priorities.
A ship that can survive the frigate bombardment for such a long time has actually begun to challenge the space battleship deterrence of the Governor's Palace. This thorn must be pulled out as soon as possible.
"yes!"
Soon, several planes carrying hostages took off from the airport... The army, which had lost all worries, no longer held back. The frigates fired their guns and bombed the bunkers and hidden sentries shown in the intelligence at fixed points.
Even the severely damaged battleship on the sea did not rush back. Instead, it adjusted its gun muzzle and fired wildly at the buildings on the island.
boom! boom!
Under the indiscriminate bombing, many arsenals exploded on the spot, exploding into a dazzling fireball, as if several suns were rising in the sunset.
Just as Gu Qinghuan promised, the archipelago was already in flames.
Except for a few underground mansions where important high-level personnel lived, the defense measures and resistance forces of the entire archipelago were subjected to the maximum level of high-altitude bombing. It was impossible to organize an effective resistance, let alone cause much harm to the ground troops.
"..."
[80% of the defense forces on the islands have been successfully cleared, and the current war progress is 3/4 (you have achieved the necessary conditions for victory)]
[You have achieved total victory in the war! 】
[You can choose to end the war immediately, or you can continue to expand the results to achieve a perfect victory]
[The territory of the Governor's District is expanded...obtained Energy Zoning +1]
[Monthly output of the current region: energy +4, industrial products +2, food +8, ore +16, alloy +4 (all negative effects of insufficient energy and industrial products have been cleared)]
[Resource reserves: energy 43, industrial products 36, ore 162, food 52, alloy 4]
[Current laws and regulations: Nutritional subsidies (high-end food subsidies), drug subsidies, epidemic area blockade, industrial subsidies, introduction of technical talents]
"All outputs are positive!" Jiang Sui looked at the management panel and let out a sigh of relief, "This feels pretty good."
Although Jiang Sui does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he also knows that losing one or two resources will not be a big problem - anyway, he can use abundant resources to find other forces to purchase resources. As long as the overall increase can be maintained, it is considered healthy.
But looking at the rows of rising resources, the sense of refreshment and satisfaction is hard to describe.
"It's just that we've been spending a lot of money recently, and the ore inventory has dropped a bit." Jiang Sui, who was waiting for the battle report, took a look at the ore resources and sighed, "Various laws and industrial zoning are all big consumers of ore."
"Well, it's not good to always use gold, silver, and copper as currency. We have to slowly carry out currency reform."
"However, this matter cannot be rushed. It is better to issue gold and silver-based banknotes first, and then make subsequent changes after the credit is stabilized."
How many people have completely ruined the economy just because they messed with the currency?
When the market and economy are relatively fragile, it is wiser to proceed step by step.
Another hour passed.
The sunset has completely set, and the fire on the island has gradually dissipated...
[You have obtained most of the criminal evidence on the island, and the current war progress is 4/4]
[The war is over, you have achieved perfect victory]
[The emergency incident in the Eastern Ocean Islands has been resolved. You can view the detailed rewards and subsequent event options in the panel later]
While browsing the panel, Gu Qinghuan walked in again, "Mr. Governor, the operation went very smoothly. We have captured Apstein, and they did not have time to destroy the criminal evidence."
After finishing speaking, Gu Qinghuan hesitated to speak.
Jiang Sui turned off the panel, raised his chin, and motioned for Gu Qinghuan to continue speaking.
"We found several cages for holding hostages in his underground residence, but we were late." Gu Qinghuan recalled the tragic scene he just saw and shook his head slightly, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
"Check their identities and find their relatives. This compensation must be paid by the Dongyang Trading Group."
"Okay, what are you going to do with Apstein? Now he has been yelling and cursing, saying that you are not qualified to arrest him, and that you will pay the price. Do you want to see him?"
Gu Qinghuan knew that Jiang Sui didn't shy away from these things, so he said it directly.
"No matter how loud a loser shouts, he can't cover up his failure." Jiang Sui laughed, "Don't worry, find a narrow cell with no light or sound, and lock him in handcuffs and shackles for a week."
"Warrant Officer Gu, believe me... this is more painful and torturous than any physical punishment."
"Just to sentence him to death is a bit too cheap for him."
"Returning, the priority now is Dongyang Trading Group... After we return, ask Aisha to come to my office. I have some things to ask her."
