Chapter 76 Puppet Master
After Sig brought Tanya back from Warsaw, the top brass of the Meng Army stepped up the research and development of new weaponry, while asking the intelligence department and the Gallic resistance to investigate the current situation on the European continent.
According to them, Su Nien is currently fighting a new force very fiercely. At the same time, under Yuri's instruction, the Psi Corps also leaked a lot of important information to the Moe Army.
After the GDI intelligence officer's summary, the intelligence was summarized as follows:
First of all, the army fighting against the Su Army is called Epsilon. Their predecessor is the Psychic Department that has separated from Su Ni. Their leader is Yuri, who serves as an advisor to Prime Ministers Dalinzi and Romanov. The Scorpion Organization is also a member of this force.
Secondly, the current capital of Succulent has been occupied by Epsilon, and Yuri has taken away a batch of newly manufactured Topol-M launch pads. Prime Minister Romanov and the people of the Supreme Command have basically retired. The current Succulent territory and occupied areas are being gradually taken over by Epsilon.
Third, and most importantly, the last of the MIDAS warheads appears to have been destroyed in the raid launched by Serris.
At the same time, because the mining facilities on Sakhalin Island were destroyed, Su Nien will not be able to produce MIDAS warheads in a short period of time. And Seris, the only one with weapons like MIDAS, is currently in a confrontation with Su Nien, so the Meng army does not have to worry about suddenly becoming familiar with each other one day.
After reading this information, the Meng Army also noticed the rise of the emerging force of Epsilon. At the same time, according to the information, the PsiCorps had already built a mind control amplifier in Rome.
At first, Ou Meng was confused about how this emerging force could overthrow Su Ni's rule, but after Meng Zhi told them to review their own homeland defense battle and explained the terribleness of Yuri and his mind control technology, Ou Meng's top leaders frowned. Now it is only a matter of time before Epsilon gains the upper hand, and if so, the Paradox Project will also be threatened.
This is exactly what happened. Yuri has already placed a large number of Psychic Beacons on the European continent, and the Gaul resistance army has also seen its troops mutiny and attack friendly forces. Originally, the Moe Army could still watch the fire from the other side of the river, but once the amplifier appeared, the Moe Army had no choice but to arrange for the Chronospace Force to destroy it in order to prevent Epsilon from taking over without bloodshed.
"Speaking of which, how can our troops resist mind control?" Zi Yu raised this question during the discussion.
"Don't worry about that. We have done some research on mind control technology. According to our intelligence, there are two mind beacons in the city of Rome. As long as we control one of them, we can be immune to the influence of the amplifier." said the Mengjun intelligence officer.
"As for the command of the troops, Scott, I'll leave it to you this time, and Tanya will also support your operations." Norrington, the commander-in-chief, suggested.
"I understand."
After finalizing the battle plan, Mengzhi came to the combat command center to connect to the combat command terminal, while Tanya, who was sitting in the Archon armored vehicle, rushed to the designated assault site through hyperspace transmission.
At the same time, Yuri learned about their plan to raid Rome through the Moe Army intelligence officer and asked her for the Moe Finger's live broadcast rights. Then he and Samuel started watching the live broadcast together in a Moe Army base.

[Military Operation: Puppet Master]
"Is it really okay for us to watch the live broadcast openly in the Mengjun base?"
"Don't worry about that, heretic. Believe me, this place is safer than our base on the moon."
"Okay, since we're free anyway, Istaru is taking care of Xiao Yunmo today. It's just right to watch the live broadcast to kill time."
"Okay, stop talking, let's watch the live broadcast."
At this time, in the Ou Meng base, a Archon armored vehicle suddenly appeared near the beacon.
"Surprise!!!"
Without waiting for the new recruits to go over and investigate the situation, Tanya immediately rushed out and roasted the new recruits and wild beastmen around her into bacon.
"These Su Jun will... Hey, isn't this the Meng Jun base? Did I copy it wrong?" The Meng Jun intelligence officer complained with a confused look on his face.
"This 'genius' intelligence agent must have copied the coordinates I gave her incorrectly."
"Which one did you give her?"
"It's from the Su Army base near the amplifier. That Psychic Beacon is also a fake.
The original plan was to have the Mengzhi troops occupy the fake beacon and then have the Su troops take over here in return, so as to delay the Meng army for a longer period of time."
"By the way, why would the Moe Army be able to operate the Psychic Beacon? Wasn't the manual you gave to the intelligence officers also wrong?"
"I guess she remembered it wrong, and then copied it wrong, but she just happened to copy it right. The same goes for the coordinates of the teleportation this time. Both times, negative times equals positive. It must be weird."
At this time in the city of Rome, Bidarski, who had been spinning in circles, was still using the amplifier to broadcast throughout the city.
"Cheap goods are not good! Good goods are not cheap!"
"Cheap goods are not good! Don't trust Boss La!"
After Siegfried, who was sitting as the Archon, and the Engineer were teleported here, the Engineer immediately occupied the Psychic Beacon and activated the special mode. At this time, the Moe Army Base was officially under the command of the Moe Commander.
"It looks like they've taken the bait. I can let our troops pass through."
"It looks like our plan to lure out the cute army was quite successful, but we still have to find something for them to do."
"Yiejiao, don't worry about this. I have already contacted Boss La."
When the pagan stationed in Rome arranged some troops to launch a tentative attack, Mengzhi took a look at the base while asking Tanya and Sig to assist in the defense. The technological buildings inside were still complete after all, and the next step was to build a technology center and climb to T3.
"Commander, our newly developed robot tanks can effectively deal with the enemy's mind control. Please make good use of them."
"No, just four?" Mengzhi complained while looking at the four robot tanks.
While Mengzhi arranged rocket pilots to cooperate with defensive buildings and Siegfried to defend the northern base, he also asked Tanya to cooperate with robot tanks to deal with the enemy's airborne troops.
At this time, Epsilon's transport planes also dropped some new soldiers and archers to try to launch a sneak attack, but...
"Quite smart."
"By the way, can we send airborne troops to launch a surprise attack from the south of the Colosseum?"
"No way, heretic, you see these infantrymen are stationed there using those civilian houses, and airdropping infantrymen is just giving them experience."
"Then let's try airdropping armored forces and combining them with tactical missiles."
"You can try it."
And the pagan did as Samuel suggested.
"Good boy, Epsilon is serious now."
"Sig, don't fire randomly. I don't want the beacon to be destroyed by your attack."
"WC, the Su army still has technological missiles."
It can only be said that this series of combos made Mengzhi a little overwhelmed, but the only good news is that Mengzhi’s engineers repaired the beacon in time before it was destroyed.
"What a pity, it was just a little bit short."
"Don't worry, Pagan. These are not the only gifts we have for Moe Finger."
After defending against this wave of offensive, Mengzhi not only built bunker defense lines, but also mass-produced Thor gunboats to cooperate with rocket pilots for air-infantry-tank coordination.
—Five minutes later
"Sieg, there's a drill coming from the north, kill it."
"Tanya, there is a group of wild orcs in the west, kill them."
"Commander, there are several UFOs coming towards us."
"Don't worry, these Thor gunships and rocket pilots will treat them well."
"Commander, could you please be more careful not to hit friendly troops next time?"
Looking at the camouflage bunkers and fixed turrets everywhere in the base, as well as the Thor and Mosquito patrolling in the air, Epsilon at this time has no ability to threaten Moe Finger's base and Psychic Beacon except for destroying it with technological missiles.
Seeing this, Mengzhi also decided to launch an attack. The first was the Eritrean outpost in the north. The oil fields and other technological buildings there would be very useful for subsequent attacks.
"Commander, can you let me ride in the car next time?"
Tanya complained as she looked at the Prism Tanks and heavily armored Archons following her.
"We can't help it. All our current production capacity is used to produce Thor gunships."
The next step is to advance slowly. Tanya will deal with the infantry and armored forces of the Ecuadorian army. If you encounter a building, use the prism tank to deal with it. If you encounter a flying saucer, use the Archon to destroy it.
"Commander, the Psychic Beacon controlling the Su Army base was destroyed by an unknown force."
"Currently, these Su troops have escaped from mind control and are fighting against Epsilon? This is also good news for us."
"Yuri, why are these soldiers here?"
"Perhaps they saw the beacon destroyed and thought we were treacherous and wanted to destroy them, so they wanted to strike first."
"Hehe, the amplifier is still in use. They don't have the Psychic Beacon to offset it like the Moe Army. It's only a matter of time before they rejoin us."
"Indeed, I will let them go to the front line if they can survive..."
At this time, Mengzhi had cleared out the defenders near these technological buildings and occupied the place.
"Valkyrie-3, lead your air formation to defend this place."
"Roger that, Commander. Estimated arrival time: three minutes."
At the same time, the assault team led by Tanya also arrived at the nearby Eritrean outpost.
"Commander, how do we fight?"
"Same old, let the prism tanks take care of the defensive buildings, and when the Archons blow a hole in the barbed wire, you rush in and destroy them."
"Got it, let's rock it."
At this time, the commando team quickly occupied the outpost according to Mengzhi's plan. Mengzhi sighed as he looked at the cloning tank in the outpost.
"Cloning vat? This thing is also very useful for mass production."
Mengzhi increased the production of rocket pilots upon seeing this, and Yuri immediately gave orders upon seeing this.
"Well, order the construction crew to weld the door of the cloning vat shut. Never let this happen again."
"It should have been done a long time ago, but it seems that Moe Finger also likes to use our weapons." Samuel said as he looked at the invasion UFO produced by Moe Finger.
"Interestingly, you also have Moe Finger, the Wizard, and that friend of yours all like to defeat the enemy by using their own weapons."
"After all, sometimes the enemy's armaments are quite convenient for me and Xiaoyun."
At this time, the Su army had no effective command, so they launched attacks on both the Meng army and the Epsilon, which kept them trapped in the base. As the amplifier flashed a red light, the Su army here was once again controlled by the Epsilon.
"Commander, it looks like these Su troops are beyond redemption."
"In that case, let's..."
"Commander, the Super Thor gunship that Ziyu and Commander Granger recovered a few years ago has been put into mass production. The Mengjun high-ranking officials will send a few over for support now."
