A powerful force, terrifying enough to make the entire world tremble!
This was Militech's confidence in disregarding the European Community's threats and the Mechanicus's traps to absorb them!
This was enough to make anyone who saw it shudder in fear! This was the true foundation of a major corporation!
It was simply incomparable to a nascent company like the Mechanicus!
Perhaps in terms of quality, the Mechanicus was indeed formidable, but in terms of the scale of war, the Mechanicus was as tiny as an infant in swaddling clothes; the two sides were simply not on the same level!
In contrast, although the European Community was slightly inferior in weapons and equipment,
with the backing of endless money and decades of accumulation as the world's hegemon, the European Community's power was actually stronger than Militech's!
Because the European Community was not only powerful itself, but it also controlled over 100 countries globally through space resources, garnered over 80 allies,
and established over 400 military bases in more than 140 countries and regions!
It could appear in any corner of the world in a short period, relying on its global network of overseas military bases and far-ocean aircraft carrier battle groups! This meant the European Community possessed the ability to launch attacks on any country at any time!
Additionally, the European Community owned 23,000 Starlink satellites and 150 military satellites; it could be said that the air force was the eyes and ears of the European Community, capable of providing global intelligence and information.
Intelligence organizations and communication units also quickly took action, collecting and analyzing enemy intelligence to provide to the president and military commanders, ensuring the normal operation of command and control systems.
If it weren't for Militech obtaining the Sky-Hovering Relay from the Mechanicus, allowing for real-time global monitoring, Militech would have been utterly defeated in just the first landing battle.
This was the terror of information disparity, capable of easily altering the course of a war.
On Militech's side, they could clearly see all of the enemy's deployments, while all of the enemy's electronic products, radars, and communications were blocked by the Sky-Hovering Relay.
They were either black screens, blue screens, or false projections; the enemy couldn't hear or see, let alone fight a war.
After realizing that a sneak attack was useless, the European Community decided to adopt a frontal assault strategy,
and moved all its troops to the Pacific Ocean, attempting to engage Militech in an encounter battle.
If Militech did not respond to the challenge, then their entire army would land and enter the New America region for a chaotic battle, and even if they ultimately failed, they could cause immense damage to New America.
However, Militech did not avoid the fight; instead, they gathered all their forces, determined to settle the score with the European Community and try to defeat their opponent in one fell swoop.
Thus, ten of the latest-model stealth fighters developed by the Mechanical Sages took off from the aircraft carrier, flying towards the European Community's position for a full-scale bombardment.
Although the European Community wanted to shoot down these enemy planes, they could not detect their positions via radar or satellite.
Even with the naked eye, it was difficult to capture the silhouettes of these planes; their optical camouflage technology was decades beyond current technological levels.
Facing such an underhanded and despicable fighting style from the enemy, the European Community, though furious, was helpless and could only watch as their aircraft carriers suffered a barrage of bombings.
However, the story did not end there.
Under the monitoring of the Sky-Hovering Relay, the European Community's other forces were eliminated one by one, like pieces on a chessboard.
Although both sides had aircraft, the difference was that the European Community could not detect or engage Militech's aircraft, and their radar systems were completely ineffective.
No matter how large the European Community's aerospace fighters' payload, how fast their speed, or how strong their maneuverability, they became useless scrap metal without the ability to detect the enemy.
In just ten minutes, the European Community's fleet over the Pacific Ocean fell into chaos, almost powerless to retaliate.
However, surprisingly, the European Community also found a countermeasure in a very short time.
Countless colored smoke billowed into the sky like brooms; these specially made smokes could float in the air for a long time and possessed cloud-like properties, allowing them to gather together.
When any fighter jet passed through them, it would leave obvious traces, even clinging to the fuselage.
Although optical camouflage could quickly assimilate these traces, there was still at least a five-second interval during this process.
And five seconds, seemingly short, was enough for the European Community's aerospace fighters to launch ultra-long-range strikes directly from space.
The European Community's tactics could not be called bad, nor could they be called good.
After all, stealth fighters are only stealthy, not invisible; as long as they move, they will inevitably leave traces, and leaving traces will expose them to enemy attack.
But the tactics highlighted a brute-force approach, completely disregarding skill and relying on sheer power, leaving you with no recourse.
Although doing so would consume a lot of resources, it was nothing compared to being blind and getting beaten up by Militech; spending some money was not a big deal at all.
For the European Community's oligarchs, problems that could be solved with money were not problems at all.
In Militech's command center, the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.
Myers stared intently at the surveillance footage on the large screen; her heart filled with helplessness and shock.
She had initially thought that with the crushing information disparity, she could quickly defeat the European Community's coalition forces,
but she never expected that her proud trump card technology would be so easily countered by the most primitive combat methods.
"Have all the pilots return; the stealth fighters are useless!"
Myers rubbed her temples, trying to remain calm.
The situation of this war had exceeded her expectations, and she had to re-evaluate her opponent.
Both the European Community and Militech thought they could quickly resolve the battle, but the cruel reality told them that neither side was easy to deal with; the opponent was not that simple.
Instead of a crushing victory, the two sides became deadlocked over the Pacific Ocean,
and the fighting lasted for several months, with continuous combat and an endless deployment of their forces.
The entire Pacific Ocean war became a huge meat grinder; fighter jets were constantly shot down, humans constantly died, and every now and then, aircraft carriers, like steel beasts, would "scream" as they sank to the bottom of the sea.
The European Community had numerous troops and generals, top-tier space technology, and spent lavishly, possessing an endless supply of soldiers.
Militech, on the other hand, possessed the most advanced war equipment and a large number of newly emerging Cybernetic Apostles.
The Mechanical Sages, operating at full capacity, could almost upgrade equipment every so often, and they were constantly updating casting equipment.
Large numbers of industrial mother machines, under the modification of the Cybernetic Apostles, became more precise, faster, and consumed less.
