Chapter 33 The Tower Still Exists

Chapter 33 The Tower Still Exists

Turning our attention back to Europe, at this moment in the city of Paris, Ziyu has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of Paris by the European high-level officials because of her military achievements and the current shortage of outstanding talents, with the idea of ​​picking a general from among the short men.

However, when she completed the defense deployment and returned to the office, she was surprised to find that someone had been waiting at her seat for a long time.

"Please be patient, Miss Ziyu. If it were me, I would never act rashly."

At this moment, a black muzzle of a gun was pressed against Ziyu's head. With no other choice, Ziyu could only slowly move her hand away from the gun.

"You have come all the way here at the trouble of doing so, it is not just to threaten me." Zi Yu's tone was unusually calm.

"Of course. In fact, our superiors ordered us to participate in the defense of Paris. So what about the organization we belong to..."

"Do you know about the Global Defense Organization, Miss Ziyu?"

When Zi Yu heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly shrank, and her originally steady breathing began to become rapid. Global Defense Organization? Of course she knew something about it! But wasn't that a setting in the Tiberium series? Why did they appear in the world of Mind Overlord? Could it be that...

"I understand what you are thinking, Miss Ziyu. As you guessed, we are also travelers who accidentally broke into this world. We just arrived a few years earlier than you." Granger's words broke Ziyu's thoughts.

Zi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Okay, but I can only allow you to command your own troops. After all, my army's fighting style may be different from yours, and you may not be familiar with it."

Granger smiled and nodded to show his understanding: "That's completely acceptable. Then, let us work together to meet future challenges."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Zi Yu responded.

"It's a pleasure." Granger stretched out his hand and shook hands gently with Ziyu, then introduced himself, "Formally introduce myself, I'm Granger. The man standing next to you is my adjutant, Taifel. From today on, we may very well be comrades fighting side by side."

"Nice to meet you." Zi Yu gave a friendly smile.

…………Half an hour later

After General Granger joined the construction of the Paris defense line, the defenders here did not cause any commotion when the riflemen and cannon soldiers entered the defense line because Zi Yu had informed them in advance. The soldiers on both sides were even able to talk to each other easily and happily.

However, the arrival of GDI did bring some changes to the defenses. Today, almost no soldiers are seen outside in Paris, as they are all huddled in the foxholes dug by the riflemen.

At the same time, Granger was also rapidly producing various combat units in the base. In the bunker defense line originally arranged by Zi Yu, not only a large number of Vulcan turrets and rocket launchers were deployed, but also anti-aircraft artillery groups were on standby. And in the last line of defense, a large number of God Statue mechas were ready to go. As long as the sniper team gave the signal, the enemy would be baptized by a tide of artillery shells.

In addition, Predator tanks, Goliath infantry fighting vehicles and other vehicles will fight together with Paris' armored forces. Harrier fighters will fight together with Orca series fighters.

In addition, the two commanders specially prepared a group of police dogs and Navy SEALs near those power plants and production buildings to prevent spies from breaking into the house.

"General Granger, do we need to use this thing?" Zi Yu said, looking at the ion cannon control center in front of him.

"What do you think? Miss Ziyu, there is no doubt that the Su army uses super weapons on the battlefield. Therefore, we must also have countermeasures." Granger said calmly.

Regarding this defensive battle, Ziyu specially arranged three lines of defense: the first line of defense is located at the original iron tower, the second line of defense is located behind the iron tower, which is the outpost destroyed by the charged iron tower, and the third line of defense is at the main base.

However, Ziyu was not someone who liked to passively take a beating, so he formed an assault team consisting of Knight tanks, Engineer IFVs, and Seal IFVs. Granger only let Goliath follow him, and the Predator relied on its thick skin and strong firepower to serve as a mobile turret.

This commando team is responsible for attracting the enemy's attention while trying to destroy the enemy's siege units. Of course, even if they cannot destroy them, they must strive to destroy the enemy's air defense units to open the way for the air force.

While Ziyu and Granger were busy arranging the defenses of Paris, the situation on the European front had become extremely serious. The three forces of Seris, Latin and Su Nien had already controlled most of the key ports, which enabled them to continuously send a large number of troops to the front to participate in the battle. In contrast, the Meng army was at a clear disadvantage in the confrontation with the Su army, and almost every battle ended in failure. Every day, many defeated troops escaping from the occupied areas poured into Paris. These defeated soldiers brought not only panic, but also made people confused about the future.

At the same time, leaders of Western European countries also rushed to Paris. They had realized that there was almost no place in Western Europe that could accommodate them, and the only choice was the British Isles.

Meanwhile, in the main base, the two commanders were checking the defenses for any possible holes. Their mission was simple - to hold the line and ensure that the leaders of Western Europe and the valuable scientific research materials from Paris were safely evacuated to John Bull.

"Two commanders, according to the report from the reconnaissance troops, a large number of Su troops are now rushing here." Taifel sent the video footage of the sniper in the front row who was conducting reconnaissance.

"I understand, Ziyu. I will arrange for the statue mecha to launch a round of artillery strikes first, and your air force will follow us to launch an air strike together."

"understood."

"Coordinates sent, requesting artillery support!"

After the observer dropped several beacons near the main force of the Su army, they quickly retreated and came to the preset observation point to check the damage effect. (Sniper: Nonsense, we know how large the dispersion of the statue's artillery fire is.)

After receiving the firing coordinates, all the juggernaut mechas immediately deployed on the spot and propped up their gun mounts, then began covering fire at an extremely fast speed.

"Attack coordinates received, Connie Squadron en route. Over."

"Received. Air support is preparing to enter. No enemy aircraft have been detected in the target airspace."

"Connie, we're behind you. We'll move in once you take out the anti-aircraft units."

"Got it. Let's blow that place into a sea of ​​fire."

At this time, the large forces of the Su army were gathered together densely, which unfortunately made them sitting ducks for the artillery cluster.

"Enemy artillery! Run away!!!" a political commissar shouted in horror. But it was too late.

With a thunderous explosion, the Su army suffered a devastating blow. They were bombarded by artillery fire and fell into chaos. Before they could react, a large number of Oka bombers and Firehawk fighters entered the battlefield like ghosts.

"Hurry up and shoot them down with anti-aircraft guns!" someone shouted anxiously. However, before the Tiger armored vehicle could open fire, the Firehawk fighter jet launched an EMP missile at an astonishing speed, paralyzing it directly to the ground. The Oka bomber took the opportunity to launch a carpet bombing, and countless heavy bombs fell like raindrops, which could easily destroy infantry and armored units.

The battlefield was in a mess, filled with smoke and dust, and full of fire and debris. The soldiers of the Su army panicked and fled everywhere, trying to find a safe place to avoid the bombing. However, their efforts seemed to be in vain, because the attack range of the Oka bomber was extremely wide, and there was almost no place to escape.

The next to arrive were the Harrier fighters and Orca attack aircraft, which rushed towards the target area like a group of ferocious falcons. These fighters carried a large number of aerial bombs and rockets, and mercilessly launched a fierce attack on the Su army, which had been hit by the previous round of air strikes and had become fragmented.

After the fighters left, the commander of the Su army stared at the detailed loss report in his hand with a serious look. The report showed that in addition to the destruction of a large number of basic infantry, Rhino tanks, and Tiger armored vehicles, siege weapons such as Scuds were also hit hard, and most of them were destroyed. However, what made the commander most distressed was that the MCVs and two Stalin's Fists escorted by the troops were all destroyed. This meant that even if this unit could successfully reach Paris, it would only be cannon fodder to die.

Faced with such heavy losses, the commander of the Su army knew that he could not risk moving forward, so he decided to temporarily evacuate the dangerous area and find a relatively safe place to rest and resupply.

———Half a month later.

Due to the continuous air strikes and artillery attacks by the Meng army, the Su army was struggling to move forward. In order to reduce losses, they had to advance step by step. At this time, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Paris, and the Meng army's defenders had been waiting for a long time.

"Commander, they are attacking!!!"

At this time, a large number of Su Army soldiers charged towards the Meng Army's defense line with anger, but they were often knocked to the ground before they rushed out ten meters.

The armored units of the Su Army will also be given special attention by the giant cannons, light prism towers, and missile towers. In the face of such attention, even those "old" Apocalypse tanks will not last long before being destroyed. Kirovs and Wolfhounds will also be easily destroyed by the railguns of the anti-aircraft artillery group after leaving the factory. Sometimes, Kirovs will be shot down by railguns just after leaving the factory, destroying the factory in the process.

Behind the bunker defense line, a large number of juggernaut mechas and sandstorm rocket launchers, under heavy protection, continuously poured firepower on the Su army's positions.

"Sukabret, the Meng army's artillery shells are free?" the Su army commander in the combat command room cursed.

On the other hand, Latin and Meng's attack on Dunkirk was not much better. It was too difficult to break through the Meng army's solid defense line relying solely on Jaguar tanks and assault 4x4s.

The commander of the Soviet army looked at the sturdy fortifications of Paris at the command terminal. He was at a loss as to what to do but take the ultimate solution - apply to the Supreme Command for permission to use the Iron Curtain and tactical nuclear bombs.

At this moment, Zi Yu's adjutant sent an urgent report: "Two commanders, the Su army has built an iron curtain device and a nuclear missile silo!" The adjutant quickly marked the two super weapons on the combat map, and at the same time, relevant prompt information popped up in the lower right corner of the two people's combat terminals.

Faced with such a serious situation, Zi Yu said with a firm look in her eyes: "I think the time has come. We can no longer let the Su army use the iron curtain and nuclear bombs, otherwise it will cause huge casualties to our troops."

Granger agreed: "Yes, after a long period of careful planning, our pocket formation is ready. Let this crisp army become the stepping stone for our GDI to make a brilliant debut!"

After saying that, the two of them decisively activated the ion cannon. Instantly, dazzling beams of light fell from the sky, directly hitting the super weapons, command centers, barracks, and heavy industrial clusters on the opposite side. Along with the violent explosion, a powerful shock wave swept over, turning the laser strike center and all the units around it into ashes.

"Brothers, follow me!!!"

Under the cover of the armored forces, the defenders of the Paris defense line began to advance gradually. At this time, the morale of the Su army plummeted due to heavy losses and the death of the commander. Many Su soldiers began to flee when they saw the Meng army launching an attack, even though the political commissar and the supervision team kept trying to stop them. Those deserters even communicated with the supervision team in a physical sense.

At this time, GDI's carefully deployed blocking forces have made full use of the fortifications built by the Soviet army on the way here, successfully blocking the defeated Soviet army firmly in place. Not long after, the Meng army quickly took action and besieged the Soviet army near a small hill. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the Soviet army here chose to surrender without hesitation. This move meant that the Soviet army's strategic plan to quickly conquer Europe and Meng was completely bankrupt.

With the failure of the Su army's attack on Paris, Ziyu and GDI's reputation is rising. Prime Minister Romanov is so angry that he almost becomes a professional desktop cleaning master. He orders the intelligence department to thoroughly investigate the detailed background of GDI.

After learning about this, Yuri from the PsiCorps Department immediately sent his infiltrators to infiltrate the intelligence department of the Meng Army, trying to obtain specific intelligence about GDI.

As for Ceris and Ladin, Ceris also instructed his intelligence department to launch an investigation; and Ladin, as the open force of the NOD Brotherhood, has close ties with GDI and they all obey Lyle's unified command, so they did not take any investigative action.
