Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 484 The Martian War Is Over
Zhong Cheng finally decided to hand over the raid mission to Tangdao's Mars Ninth Army, not because of Tangdao's background.

Tang Dao was brought up by him, and he can be regarded as his adopted son. He also has deep feelings for Tang Dao.

The Mars Ninth Legion's combat style is famous for its fierceness and trickery, and it is most suitable for this kind of raid operation that goes deep behind enemy lines. They are the most promising to complete this difficult "beheading" task.

After more than two years of war experience, Zhong Cheng has also completed the transformation of an iron-blooded commander, striving to win victory with the smallest sacrifice, which is the quality that a qualified commander must possess.

Even ordering 10,000+ troops to die!

Half an hour later, Tang Dao and the others arrived. Zhong Cheng personally explained the plan of the raid mission and allowed Tang Dao to choose whether to go or not.

It's just that Zhong Chengcheng felt that the choice he gave was a bit hypocritical. As a senior general of the federal army, even a coward would not be able to refuse the task personally arranged by the supreme commander.

But Tang Dao's performance still made Zhong Cheng very satisfied. He accepted the mortal task without changing his face, but only made two demands.

He hopes that his ashes can be sent back to his hometown after his death, and he hopes that Zhong Cheng can erase the records of his childhood, so that his children will never know the past of their father and grandpa, and only remember him as a Glorious General of the Union Army.

Although Zhong Cheng didn't agree with Tang Dao's idea, he agreed wholeheartedly.

Two hours after the start of the war, after the Federal Army broke through the Imperial Army's defense line outside Meridian City as planned, Tang Island's Legion would launch a surprise attack while the Federal Army's air strike group and the Imperial Army's air force were in a decisive battle over Meridian City.

There was not much time left for Tang Dao, Zhong Cheng asked him to rush back to the army to prepare.

Watching Tang Dao's emaciated figure leave, Zhong Cheng couldn't help but think of that stubborn young man on the streets of the city that never sleeps.

war of the Damned!
Whether Zhong Cheng is willing or not, time is still approaching the moment of war every minute.

In the combat command center of the Mars theater of the Federal Army, hundreds of staff and commanders at all levels were busy, and news of confirmation that hundreds of combat units entered the attack position came one after another.

A fierce battle with tens of millions of human soldiers is about to break out!
11:59 p.m. Haicheng time.

Zhong Cheng stood up, Sun Lin, Deng Jinhai, Shi Hanxing and others stood beside him, and all the soldiers in the combat command center looked at him.

He took a deep breath, knowing that not only these hundreds of people, but millions of people outside were waiting for his order.

Just as he raised his right hand and was about to wave it down, a confidential secretary rushed into the command center regardless of the rules, shouting loudly:

"The Imperial Army requests surrender!"

"The Imperial Army requests surrender!"

"The Imperial Army requests surrender!"

Everyone in the command center was stunned, and Zhong Cheng's right hand held in mid-air also froze. Although the confidential secretary yelled three times in a row, everyone still couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Li, make it clear!" Deng Jinhai grabbed his subordinate, his excitement was beyond words.

The confidential secretary swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied excitedly: "Just now, the headquarters of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force called and said that they are willing to surrender unconditionally. Please don't attack our army!"

Although everyone was pleasantly surprised, the strict military discipline still kept them calm, and everyone looked at Zhong Cheng again.

"Notify all combat units to suspend the attack and wait for the follow-up notice!"

Zhong Changchang let out a long sigh of relief. Although he was still not sure what was going on, at least he didn't have to order an attack now.

The combat command center was busy again, but everyone was obviously much more relaxed.

Zhong Cheng brought Sun Lin and others to his office, and asked Deng Jinhai to call the headquarters of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force, and asked to speak to Paul Seaman, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force.

The phone was connected, Zhong Cheng took it, and Paul was on the other end of the phone.

After the two exchanged their identities, Paul repeated the request of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force to surrender unconditionally. Tomorrow morning, all troops will be disarmed and welcome the federal army to take over Meridian City and Yinghuo City!

On behalf of the Federation, Zhong Cheng expressed his acceptance of their surrender, and guaranteed that the Federation's previous commitments were also valid, guaranteeing the personal safety of all imperial soldiers who surrendered and their due federal citizenship rights.

By this time, Zhong Cheng finally confirmed that the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force really intended to surrender, because since modern times, there has been no such thing as a false surrender in wars.

This was the only good news that he had heard in recent days. It was such great news that Zhong Cheng's heavy heart eased a lot.

The news of the surrender of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force has not been conveyed for the time being, but the tense atmosphere on the Meridian Plateau disappeared, and both the Federal Army and the Imperial Army breathed a sigh of relief.

Although both sides have a firm fighting spirit, it is still the wish of the vast majority of soldiers to solve the problem without fighting.

The next morning, nothing unexpected happened.

The Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force walked out of the fortifications as scheduled, put down their weapons and armor, and lined up to welcome the Federal Army.

Three million federal troops entered the Meridian Plateau, Meridian City, and Yinghuo City, confiscated the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army, and took over various defensive positions and key buildings.

The Federal Army Space Fleet was responsible for the takeover of the Imperial Army Space Fleet, and sent troops to take over all the Imperial Army's space warships.

The takeover work lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, until Zhong Cheng led the high-level generals in the Mars theater of the Federal Army to complete the surrender ceremony of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force on the Red Star Square.

When the imperial flag over the Red Star Square was lowered and the federal flag was raised, the entire Red Star Square, Meridian City and even the land of Mars were plunged into a sea of ​​jubilation.

The battle to defend Mars that lasted two and a half years is over!

Zhong Cheng saw that the huge statue in the center of the square was still standing, and the imperial army did not choose to destroy this historic building.

If it weren't for the people of the Federation on Earth who were still in distress, today would be a day worthy of universal celebration.

Although the war lasted on Mars for two and a half years, due to the restraint of both sides, it did not cause heavy civilian casualties.

Except for a few cities such as Qinglong City, most of the cities and industrial facilities are well preserved, which provides the most favorable conditions for the upcoming follow-up war.

For the sake of the Federation and mankind, Zhong Cheng held Paul's hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, General Paul!"

With shame on his face, Paul replied: "Mr. Zhong, you are serious!"

The two have fought against each other for many years, and this is the first time they have met.

Paul is tall and mighty, as solid as a rock, and Zhong Cheng is tall and straight, like a sharp sword, but it is just a sharp sword hidden in a scabbard.

Standing in front of Zhong Cheng, although Paul was half a head taller than Zhong Cheng, he felt that standing in front of a giant made him a head shorter.

Paul recalled the honorary title of "Sword of Great Power and Heavy Industry" that Zhong Cheng had been awarded back then, and secretly admired that this is the sword of the Federation, and his defeat was not wronged at all!
I am still trying to compete with such a person for the glory of the first commander of mankind, and I am indeed a bit overwhelmed.

He looked at Zhong Cheng's eyes like the brightest stars in the sky, and his confidence was greatly increased. He respectfully said, "Mr. Zhong, please go to the meeting room and I have something important to report to you!"
