Dictator From Outer Space-Chapter 113: He Sponsored a Missile

Before he gave the order to attack, he notified Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan of his ultimatum.

―We have the names of the perpetrators, supporters, and associates of the 3.25 terror attack. Cooperate with us to arrest them.

Naturally, the answer was NO.

Iran sneered, Afghanistan was doubtful if there was a government organization at all, and Pakistan ignored him.

The common point of the three countries was that they had some kind of relation with the Taliban.

Considering that the 3.25 terror attack was carried out under the leadership of the Taliban, their guilt was clear and the countries of the world recognized it.

The countries that were in the leader position in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia and UAE, gave these opinions.

―There are some doubts, but it is certain that the Taliban committed the terror attack. The three countries will not be able to deny it easily.

―We cannot bring another bloodbath to the Middle East. We will mediate, so come to the negotiation table.

―The fleet of the United Human Federation that was mobilized this time includes ships bigger than the massive ones. It is impossible for the three countries to stop them with their power.

But most of the countries in the Middle East and the three countries shouted for a desperate resistance.

Even the Taliban in Afghanistan showed their courage by drawing red X marks on his face picture on their official SNS.

―We have fought and won against Britain, Soviet Union, and America. We are not afraid of someone like you.

―If you set foot on our holy land, you will make more graves.

There were also all kinds of ridicule.

These days were the era of self-PR and even terrorists had a shortage of manpower, so they had to promote themselves diligently to recruit future warriors.

Arma secured the identities and locations of those who agreed with such posts.

On the other hand, Pakistan ignored his request to open their airspace.

―You can go through Iran’s airspace, why do you have to use ours? What is your intention? We will never allow it.

―We have nothing to do with this terror attack, and we did not support the Taliban in Afghanistan either. So stop making false accusations.

They had succeeded in preserving their pride even against America who was furious at the time of 9.11 terror attack.

They opened their airspace, but they also got rid of their debt and received various support.

About 30 years later, Pakistan’s internal situation had reached a chaotic state, but they were not at a level to bow down to Korea.

―Since when did Korea become able to order Pakistan?

―It is absurd to ask us to open our airspace without any support measures. We refuse.

―We have about 250 nuclear missiles. We warn you that we will not tolerate any illegal military action in Pakistan.

They knew Korea as a regional power at best and did not believe in Antlron either.

They were probably dull to international affairs because they were in a chaotic situation internally.

Korea had changed a lot in four years, enough to say that it was a world of difference from before, but they did not catch it.

And so Jahir, the president of Pakistan, sent him a warning letter directly.

―I tell you again that we have nothing to do with the terror attack. But seeing your attitude, I am sure that you will receive God’s punishment someday, and I regret that we could not do it ourselves. Back off. We do not welcome you.

The Pakistani media also criticized him for using drones and androids as his main weapons.

They refused to open their airspace.

In fact, he did not have to borrow Pakistan’s airspace from his perspective.

He could use Iran’s airspace or just operate from the stratosphere if he wanted to.

But he had plans to build a mega city in Central Asia in the future, so he had to prepare in advance.

The mega city central planned to accommodate some of the citizens from Tajikistan to Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

It was not originally planned, but Arma quickly added it to the roadmap because Tajiks had an unusually high rate of psycher emergence.

They had no choice but to make their homeland livable since Tajiks did not want to leave their homeland.

Anyway, all three countries ignored or rejected his ultimatum.

It was time to enter into actual military action.

“Start.”

As he gave the order, Arma entered a command into Earth Fleet.

“Target tracking… 81 targets confirmed.”

The settler’s gravity radar detected the Taliban’s forward base and displayed it on the screen.

They were using the harsh terrain of Afghanistan as a weapon.

But that would be useless from today.

“Set to E-mode.”

In the United Human Federation, E-mode usually meant extermination, that is, to project full power until the target was annihilated, and to completely block any external intervention.

In other words, to smash everything.

Supply was automated, so there was no need to give any commands.

“Operation start.”

The launch tubes of the nine warships opened simultaneously.

***

The United Fleet of the United Human Federation consisted of nine ships: three railgun battleships, three integrated firepower ships, one drone carrier, and two supply ships.

This fleet received data from the settler’s gravity radar and captured the target, then annihilated the enemy with available firepower.

Most of the missiles were scatter bombs, with hundreds of submunitions equipped with ion thrusters, capable of attacking multiple targets at once.

The drone carrier had 20 Caliber drones, an improved version of the unmanned aircraft under joint development with Russia.

These Caliber drones were small but boasted maneuverability, operational range, and firepower that overwhelmed any manned fighter.

The maximum speed was Mach 3 and the operational range was 3,000 km without propellant supply.

However, these specs were adjusted to fit the current power balance, so they didn’t mean much.

If necessary, they could release the limiter of the ion thruster and increase the thrust, and even break through the atmosphere.

The reason why they set the specs like this was because they might need to fight with Russia someday.

Just like the Tajiks, Russia also showed a high rate of psycher emergence, so they needed to secure them from a long-term perspective.

Of course, Russia would oppose it, but there was nothing they could do if Putin died and the United Human Federation cut off contact.

Yu Ji-ha pretended to be friendly with President Putin and exchanged with them only because they were easy to exploit.

If they had exchanged with the United States, they wouldn’t have gotten a land as big as East Siberia no matter what they gave them.

Anyway, the first target of the Earth Fleet was the Taliban’s forward base in Afghanistan, which numbered in dozens.

They were located in deserts, lakes, and caves, and even somewhere in villages.

Especially the Taliban who hid in villages pretending to be locals were a headache. It was no wonder that the US military had difficulty in counterinsurgency operations.

The person who just smiled and shook hands would point a rifle at them as soon as they turned around. Who could trust anyone?

But there was not a single human in the Earth Fleet.

Everything was decided by Arma, who did not miss even a slight movement of a rifle being moved.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for the Taliban to pretend to be local residents in front of Arma.

“Launch tubes open. Scatter missiles launch.”

Exactly 81 ion-propelled missiles left the launch tubes and crossed Iran and Pakistan’s airspace.

The missiles’ trajectory looked like cruise missiles, but they disappeared from the radar screen quickly because their speed reached Mach 3.

The Iranian radar base thought that the US SR-71 had appeared and made a fuss.

“Could it be that the US has intervened in this situation? Report to Tehran!”

Religious leader Baspar mobilized all his information and finally received a report that what invaded Iran’s airspace was not a fighter but multiple missiles.

His wrinkled face turned red.

“Only the US has such weapons! Damn imperialists!”

Iran’s air defense bases fired anti-aircraft missiles, but surprisingly these missiles lowered their altitude to respond.

That is, supersonic cruise missiles adjusted their altitude at will in highland areas and mocked anti-aircraft missiles. freew(e)bnovel.com

All means returned without effect and Iran could only watch them helplessly.

“How can these missiles lower their altitude to 100 meters…?”

On the other hand, Pakistan did not even detect these missiles.

They knew that something had illegally invaded their airspace, but they did not know whether it was a missile or a fighter.

While both countries were flustered, 81 missiles finally entered Afghanistan and crossed the Registan Desert.

And as soon as they entered around Kandahar, they scattered hundreds of submunitions per missile.

The Taliban who heard a strange noise from above raised their rifles and guarded themselves, but they saw nothing.

They only heard the sound of submunitions flying with ion thrusters belatedly.

Thud thud thud―

Hundreds of hafnium-2 submunitions exploded from highland areas and swept away the Taliban’s guard posts at once.

It seemed like an earthquake had occurred as everything around them turned upside down and the whole mountain shook.

The British SAS members who were on a mission in Kandahar witnessed the explosion and opened their mouths.

“The Koreans have launched a nuke!”

“It’s hafnium. But do they intend to blow up the whole mountain?”

It was not unreasonable to have the illusion that the whole mountain was shattered by one submunition, whose power was close to 15 tons of TNT equivalent.

Anyway, with one submunition, 75 Taliban, as well as the base and the connected tunnel, evaporated.

And this was happening all over Afghanistan.

The only exception was the Taliban base that had become one with the village.

The missiles did not pass by these places either, but they dropped drone containers instead of submunitions.

These drone containers quickly descended and sprayed rocket motors just before colliding with the ground to reduce the impact.

And the containers opened and the drones in question flew up like a swarm of bees.

It was natural that the Taliban warriors were startled to see them.

“The devil has appeared! Everyone, grab your guns!”

They immediately used the village as a shield and responded, but the drones had an enhanced targeting system.

In other words, each drone was an excellent rifleman and sniper.

In addition, some drones did not participate in the battle and scouted the battlefield to identify the enemy’s location.

As a result, they were able to snipe more than 2 km away despite the short barrel.

Humans make mistakes, but machines rarely do.

And so the Taliban began to die one by one from bullets that came from nowhere.

In one village, 16 Taliban who were hiding were annihilated in less than two minutes by the drone’s fire.

There was not a single innocent civilian who died in this process.

The settler’s gravity radar and Sibiri satellite identified whether they had weapons and sent this data to the drones.

They boasted an exchange rate of hundreds to one in urban warfare, and they had excellent tracking abilities, so they could not be stopped even if they used the village as a shield.

As the Taliban died in real time, the updates on SNS also stopped.

Some Taliban branches who did not grasp the situation mocked me to kill me, but they immediately revealed their location and died.

On some internet broadcasting platforms, some Taliban gathered villagers and gave speeches, only to be slaughtered by drone attacks.

Within an hour of the start of the war, smoke rose from all over Afghanistan and thousands of Taliban died.

Of course, the Taliban were very skilled in guerrilla warfare, and their true value was from now on.

And the United Human Federation accurately captured each of their identities and appearances and stored them in a database.

Yu Ji-ha gave an order.

“Kill them all.”

Arma did so.

***

As the United Human Federation’s fleet appeared in the Indian Ocean, each country watched it closely.

They also sent spies to Iran and Afghanistan and many countries sent special forces.

After all, there was no way to get information in mountainous areas like Afghanistan where there was no communication network.

And a few hours after the United Human Federation started fighting, shocking results came out.

―More than 50 Taliban forward bases in Afghanistan have evaporated. Not neutralized, but evaporated. Literally erased altogether.

―One missile scatters hundreds of submunitions, which seem to have guidance functions included, and their power is so great that our observation team mistook them for tactical nukes.

―The problem drones have been further enhanced and now seem to play the role of snipers as well. We don’t know how they pinpoint the enemy’s location.

―As a result, more than half of the Taliban around Kandahar seem to have been swept away. Of course, Kandahar is intact and there are still many forward bases scattered around. But looking at these achievements alone, they surpass what the US military achieved during their 20-year deployment…

The leaders of each country were shocked by this report.

They knew how powerful drones were, but it was unbelievable that they could accurately locate and pick out the Taliban like tweezers.

Mach 3 cruise missiles were also a problem.

They guessed that missiles would be equipped with ion thrusters someday, but who would have imagined that they could change their altitude at will?

It was as if artificial intelligence was installed on each missile.

At this point, hafnium-2 submunitions that blew up dozens of forward bases seemed reasonable.

They had also achieved some success in railguns and ion thrusters in other countries.

It wasn’t only allowed for Korea or Yu Ji-ha.

Anyway, each country expressed their concern through UN but did not intervene at all in this situation.

They wanted to see the true power of the United Human Federation.

It was definitely amazing from what they had shown so far, but there were some subtle corners.

―Their instantaneous firepower is superior to that of the US military. The Taliban ran away with their tails tucked into caves in no time.

―But it may not be easy to control civilians. Southern Afghanistan is dominated by Pashtuns who are influenced by the Taliban and have deep hatred for drones and androids. It will not be easy to persuade them.

―This is a fatal blow to the United Human Federation’s forces that have no humans.

But there was one thing that each country misunderstood.

Yu Ji-ha’s goal was not to occupy all of Afghanistan.

Building a megacity based on Tajiks was his ultimate goal and the current offensive was just a cleanup for that purpose.

Even if Pashtuns turned into Taliban with hatred as their roots, he didn’t care.

He could just scatter more drones.

At this moment, various weapons were being made in the plant located in space.

If he gave an order, making a hundred thousand drones a day was not a problem.

The replenishment speed of drones was much faster than the number of young Pashtuns who became terrorists with guns.

Of course, this policy was not a fundamental solution.

But Yu Ji-ha had no intention of solving the problems of this region.

“When the megacity is completed, it will naturally absorb the surrounding resources and manpower and become completely closed. Then the terrorists will no longer be a problem.”

What was the meaning of terrorists who resisted with rifles and RPG-7s while reciting old scriptures to the United Human Federation that had advanced to space?

The technological gap would grow day by day and those who did not get the citizenship of the megacity would be extinct.

It was not the United Human Federation, but the environment and plague that would make it so.

Anyway, this offensive was a disaster for the Taliban and Iran and Pakistan were also confused.

They had given up their national airspace while they were awake.

Iran and Pakistan, who were very angry, continued to criticize Korea in the international community, while preparing for a full-scale war.

―The United Human Federation’s power is believed to be almost entirely in the fleet that is holding out in the Indian Ocean. If we deal with them, the current offensive will also stop.

―But those ships are made of black metal and can even dive. Can we handle them with our power?

―First of all, we have to mobilize fighters and drive them away.

The place where the Earth Fleet was anchored was near Gwadar in Pakistan, a sea between the Arabian Peninsula and India.

They didn’t move at all as if they didn’t care that their location was exposed by the US, which made each country more eager to attack them.

―The ion beam is powerful, of course, but there is a limit to the number of targets it can handle, as shown in the Yang’an War. What if we pour anti-ship missiles?

—-They could consider launching two nuclear missiles. Although our missiles’ CEP (Circular Error Probable) is not precise, they could hit a stationary fleet…

Staying in one place openly made the leaders of Iran and Pakistan imagine dangerous scenarios.

The special envoy who was urgently dispatched from the Middle Kingdom fueled their imagination.

He delivered a letter from Wang Xian, the chief of staff, to President Zahir of Pakistan.

—We have experienced the interception rate of the ion beam in the Taiwan Strait campaign. The performance of that anti-aircraft system seems impressive, but it reveals its weakness when faced with simultaneous air strikes. We will teach you how to exploit it.

Originally, the Middle Kingdom and Pakistan had a very close relationship, and the friendly atmosphere continued even after the Middle Kingdom became what it is now.

However, it was inevitable that Pakistan’s importance decreased after losing the Xinjiang and Tibet autonomous regions.

They didn’t even share a border anymore.

In that sense, Wang Xian wanted to obtain as much information as possible from this situation.

He wanted to know about the anti-aircraft system and the Antlion’s performance of the United Human Federation fleet.

If he could find out their weakness, it would be a great help for him to secure his seat as the next president.

When President Zahir hesitated to launch a nuclear attack, the envoy persuaded him as follows:

“What do you think is the next target of that fleet after the Taliban? Remember what Yu Ji-ha said. He will attack Pakistan as well. “

“…”

“The rest is obvious. Drones will be deployed all over Pakistan and harsh oppression will unfold. Yu Ji-ha is a very vicious person. He does not tolerate any resistance. The Pakistani leadership will be executed and unfortunately, Mr. President, you will not escape either…”

The fact that such a thing happened in Korea made President Zahir more anxious.

And so he made a choice that he shouldn’t have made.

It was a full-scale nuclear attack on the United Human Federation fleet.

Of course, Yu Ji-ha was listening to their conversation from the beginning through the micro-drones that Arma had planted in advance.
