Chapter 58 Pick the Softest Persimmon First
Chapter 58 Pick the Softest Persimmon First
The change did not happen out of thin air, but Zhao Yu really didn't know the specific reasons.
"Wait, a new CG!" A thought flashed through Zhao Yu's mind.
While browsing short videos, he seemed to see a new CG on the trending topics list.
What new CG?
Why didn't he receive it?
However, upon closer reflection, it's possible that he, as the leader of Operation Asara, might not have the authority to see the story CGs that the Delta Force operators can see.
He quickly exited Operation Asara and started watching the videos he hadn't had time to watch because of the mission notification.
In the short video, the plot of the new CG slowly unfolded before Zhao Yu's eyes. Zhao Yu watched it carefully. The person who edited the video was very skilled, and it was very comfortable to watch. Until the end of the video, the scene of Gherros and Raven confronting each other.
"Damn it, Raven is a madman." After watching the CG, Zhao Yu roughly understood the origin of the mission "Hold the Line".
He had initially found it strange that, although Gheros was somewhat capable, as a traitor who had defected to Hafk, he usually guarded the Tide Prison. There was no reason why the Hafk Group would let him go out to lead troops to attack Dam Zero. It turned out that Raven, that madman, was stirring things up behind the scenes.
Through the mission briefing, Zhao Yu understood that Geheros's invasion was not taking place during a battle, nor was it conducted in CG mode like the previous leader's meeting; rather, it was a genuine attack on his Special Operations Division.
Undoubtedly, this will cause losses, especially in terms of personnel.
His people, they're all his people!!!
Moreover, this kind of attack may not be just once or twice, but will continue indefinitely!
Demulan led the Gale to attack once, and Geheros attacked again. Who knows if the Hafk Group will launch another large-scale invasion of Dam Zero?
This is possible, after all, there is a map called Blade in Total War mode, which is based on the destroyed Zero Dam!
If the dam is blown up, where will he go?
"We need to rapidly expand our influence and increase our strength," Zhao Yu analyzed carefully. At the very least, he wanted to transform his Special Operations Division, also known as Dam Zero, into a "fortress" capable of withstanding an attack by Hafk's ground forces.
Although Hafk possesses more powerful and widespread weapons, as long as he holds the dam, given its characteristics, the humanitarian disaster and the impact on the situation in Assara that would result from its destruction would be unacceptable to the GTI!
He used the GTI to counterbalance Hafk, letting heroes fight heroes and good men fight good men, while he tried to play both sides between the two major forces.
Anything beyond that is beyond the control of a "small warlord" whose power is limited to the Zero Dam area.
"Five tasks, where should I start?" Zhao Yu pondered.
To complete the mission "Attack the Enemy Who Must Rescue," you need to enter the Baksh War Zone, which requires completing the prerequisite mission "Expanding Influence" to unlock the Baksh and Longbow Valley maps.
"The rewards for the Bounty Order - Counterattack 3 and Blood for Blood missions are both Asara Guard Soldier Gift Packs and Lieutenant Selection Packs, which are good ways to expand our strength," Zhao Yu pondered.
However, the thought of the Asara Guard's low combat effectiveness gave Zhao Yu a headache.
The previous Hafk invasion proved one thing: given enough time, a Hafk machine gunner, a Hafk shield bearer, and several Hafk soldiers working together are enough Assara Guard soldiers to clean up an entire area.
Faced with elite units like machine gunners, the Asara Guard soldiers were completely powerless to fight back.
Dealing with machine gunners by hitting them on the head is easy for the operators and him, and not difficult for his leader's guards either. But for the Asara Guard soldiers who can fire bullets and fire three shots in battle to do justice to Commander Said, and don't care where the bullets land, it's a bit more difficult.
This is due to a combination of factors, including insufficient training, inadequate equipment, and the fact that many units of the Asara Guard have initial stats far lower than those of the Hafk forces. It is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed.
"Take care of Reis first. We should pick the weakest link." Zhao Yu made a quick decision. Clearly, compared to the operatives at the Flood Dam and the Eternal Night Dam, or even the security director at the space base, Reis was easier to deal with.
It's just asking him to cede a few regions, it's not like it's going to kill him. I believe Reis will understand.
Speaking of which, his guard should be expanded.
The previous battle demonstrated that it was already very difficult for Chief Asara's guards, with only 200 HP, to fight against operators when they got serious. Therefore, to strengthen the guard team this time, Zhao Yu spent 400 kill points to purchase two Hammer Guys.
At the same time, he spent another 40 kill points to buy two advanced weapon packs, still the familiar AK-12. Looking at the two extra heavily armed hammer-wielding guys, Zhao Yu felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Before long, Zhao Yu had gathered two adjutants and his own guards.
"Sir!" Outside the parking lot, Fireline and Molten Prison saluted Zhao Yu in unison. Behind them, four Hammermen and four assault infantry-type leader guards also saluted Zhao Yu.
"Gentlemen, where do you think our future lies?" Zhao Yu asked his adjutant and the chief's guards, his hands behind his back. Before they could answer, Zhao Yu spoke first, answering his own question: "The people of Asara are suffering too much."
"But some people are taking advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and plunder the Asara people... Sigh." Zhao Yu sighed softly.
"I had no intention of vying for power, but I know the suffering of the common people," Zhao Yu continued. "Next, we will go to Longbow Valley to tell Reis that the warriors willing to fight for the people of Asara are not all dead!"
The group of Chief Asara's guards were inexplicably fired up. Although they were not very knowledgeable, they were extremely loyal to Commander Said and would do whatever Commander Said said.
Isn't he just Reese?
If Commander Sayed wants it, then do it!
"We swear to follow Commander Said to the death and unite Asara!" Huoxian was the first to look at Said and speak.
On the other side, Rongyu looked at Huoxian, and was about to speak when Huoxian interrupted him with a shout, which made him very dissatisfied.
But it's too late.
"Flatterer! Scoundrel!" Molten Prison cursed inwardly as he glanced at Fireline beside him.
"Nonsense! I, Said, am devoted to the public good and have absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds!" Zhao Yu looked at Huoxian and rebuked him.
"Yes, sir!"
But in my humble opinion, only someone as devoted to the people of Asara as you deserves to be their king. Yousef is utterly unworthy!
"Nonsense, Gotland. How about this, from now on, you'll be my guard captain!"
I worry about you being out there.
