Chapter 1802 Changes in the Environment
The lower-ranking soldiers of the National Defense Force were unaware that the so-called massacre of the Great Yan people by dwarves was entirely a staged event orchestrated by the intelligence agency.
The purpose was to mislead the orc resistance forces in the north.
But whether they were dwarves or low-ranking soldiers in the National Defense Force, they all believed it to be true.
The dwarves are frantically trying to prove they didn't do it.
However, the soldiers of the National Defense Force believed that the dwarves were responsible for the incident.
The conflict between the two sides escalated instantly.
In addition, these dwarven fanatics just now chose to provoke a conflict.
The patience of the armed forces has been completely worn out.
When the military learned that the dwarven rebels had dared to shoot and kill National Defense Army soldiers in the street, they couldn't sit still.
The military immediately authorized the infantry division to take full action.
At the same time, the second carrier strike group of the Inner Sea Fleet was deployed outside the port of the Dwarven Empire's capital.
The Space Force has emerged on the historical stage, while the Navy has gradually faded away.
The navy has a large number of old ships that have been forced to retire.
Only a portion of the old ships were preserved, and these old ships are now housed in the naval museum.
The navy now has only 6 carrier strike groups left, consisting of 12 aircraft carriers and two amphibious assault ships.
The Inland Sea Fleet has two carrier strike groups, while the High Seas Fleet has four carrier strike groups.
This is the navy's most important means of attack now.
All the battleships have been melted down and rebuilt into steel to be used to build new space warships.
Apart from missile frigates and destroyers needed for carrier strike groups, almost all other warships were rebuilt.
Grand Admiral Chester was on vacation at home at the moment, but he instantly perked up after receiving orders from the military.
As a naval admiral, Chester enjoyed immense prestige in his early years.
Especially when the strategic focus shifted from the homeland to the surrounding areas.
The navy has the largest military expenditure, even exceeding that of the air force.
At its peak, the navy had more than 30 aircraft carriers.
Of course, more than 20 of them are outdated aircraft carriers.
But as the saying goes, even the oldest aircraft carrier is still an aircraft carrier, and still an aircraft platform.
The current 12 aircraft carriers are basically at the Cold War level.
It can be said that it is not as good as the best, but it is better than the worst.
They are basically all capable of carrying Su-30 and J-15 fighters.
After receiving orders from the military, Chester excitedly issued a mobilization order to the Navy's Inland Sea Fleet.
The second strike group, consisting of two aircraft carriers, quickly approached the capital of the Dwarven Empire and began ranging.
The National Defense Forces and the Elven Empire's army needed to annihilate the Dwarven Rebellion, which had essentially failed to occupy any coastal cities.
The dwarf resistance forces are mostly located in deserts and Gobi.
It is difficult for the Air Force's fighter jets alone to provide timely support.
In order to suppress the orc resistance, the air force deployed 60% of its fighter jets to air bases around the orc empire.
The number of fighter jets in the Dwarven Empire has decreased by 40%.
Don't underestimate this 40%; it puts even more pressure on the already struggling Great Yan Dwarf Air Force Base, which already lacks fighter jets.
Especially recently, the dwarven resistance has become increasingly restless.
The Air Force realized that it had to send more fighter jets to prepare for battle in the Dwarven Empire, otherwise the National Defense Force would be in a very passive position if the Dwarven Empire rebels overturned the table.
The capital of the Dwarf Empire.
At this moment, the people of the dwarven empire's capital were filled with fear and unease.
Large numbers of dwarf civilians were terrified of retaliation from the National Defense Forces.
They had heard that a National Guard soldier had been shot dead by dwarves during the day.
Moreover, this soldier was shot and killed during a peaceful demonstration by the dwarves.
People died during a peaceful demonstration.
How ironic that sounds!
Even the commander of the infantry division couldn't save face.
The medical team quickly brought the soldier back to safety, but due to the severity of his injuries, he could not be saved. On his deathbed, the soldier struggled to write his will.
The soldier who was shot did not blame anyone until his death.
He was just blaming himself for not being competent enough.
From the perspective of the dwarven resistance, they were fighting for their own country, and so was the National Defense Force.
Both sides are essentially acting in the interest of their own country.
So what fault did either party commit?
The only problem might be that the IDF soldiers weren't observant enough; if they had noticed it sooner, none of this would have happened.
Although the soldiers did not hold anyone accountable, the division commander would not stop pursuing the matter.
He must pursue this to the end for the sake of the National Defense Force.
With the tacit approval of the military, the garrison of the National Defense Forces began to take action.
The intelligence agency had long ago informed the National Defense Forces of many of the rebel strongholds, but the division commanders of the National Defense Forces were not in a hurry to take action, or rather, for the past year or two, the division commanders had been watching these rebels linger and survive.
It wasn't that the division commander didn't want to make achievements, but it was a rebel stronghold, and there were probably only two or three hundred rebels there.
These two or three hundred rebels would require the mobilization of over a thousand national defense troops to suppress them.
Furthermore, armored units and even the air force would have to be deployed.
The returns are completely disproportionate.
Especially now that the military budget for the national defense forces has been reduced again and again.
Marshal Caddis ordered a strategic retreat.
Apart from the necessary regular army, the auxiliary armies of various countries were repeatedly cut off.
The Elven Empire went even further, eliminating its own troops and retaining only 15 to 20 troops stationed in the Dwarven Empire.
Furthermore, the Elven Empire will bear all the costs of these 20 garrison positions.
Protect the interests of the Elven Empire within the Dwarven Empire.
The Holy Empire's army was reduced even more drastically, from over 60 to the current 20.
The armies of various countries were repeatedly decimated, and the armies of the Elf Empire and the three major kingdoms of the Eastern Continent were completely wiped out.
The strategic contraction of the national defense and air force has successfully freed up more funds for the country to invest in people's livelihoods.
However, due to the invasion of the divine realm, the country pushed the military budget of the space force to its limit.
This has resulted in the defense force cutting spending, but the space force's military spending has snowballed.
Although defense spending has decreased, total military expenditure has remained unchanged, or even increased...
However, due to the increasing national fiscal revenue, the country is generally able to continue operating.
However, in the long run, the Great Yan Dynasty is very likely to collapse due to the wartime economy.
There were no problems before because the Great Yan Dynasty was always on the path of expansion.
They plunder resources from other countries to ensure their own country's rapid technological advancement.
But now the National Defense Forces have entered into a protracted counterinsurgency war.
If the country continues to maintain a large army at this time, it will be completely dragged down by the military.
That's why Lyon is taking the counterinsurgency war so seriously.
In their previous lives, the so-called superpowers were all tripped up by those insignificant little countries.
It's either an imperial graveyard or a talking tree.
Tell me, how do you fight a war like this? Lyon can't think of any way to fight it except by throwing money at it and sacrificing lives.
After receiving the military command's hint, the National Defense Forces immediately launched an operation against the resistance. Initially, the military command wanted to wait until the orc resistance in the north was completely dealt with before taking action.
But now they only want to attack from both sides, wiping out both rebel forces into pieces...
