I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 482 - 480 International Social Death

"What? Say that again?" Pratt's eyes turned red in an instant. They had only been fighting for a couple of hours and now they were already contemplating surrender?

"General, I am not afraid of death. As a soldier, I have long accepted the inevitability of life and death. If there were any chance of victory, I would definitely risk my life to fight, but this battle is simply unwinnable!" Desperation was written all over the Deputy General's face.

"General, not to mention the state of our troops' equipment, even if we were to pool all the military strength of the country, could we win?" As a leader, the Deputy General was acutely aware of the true extent of their national military power.

After years of attrition, their national forces were left with over 1,000 combat aircraft, but half of these were third-generation fighters, and the other half were near fourth-generation fighters. Tambat Kingdom, although they possessed only 500 aircraft, had fifth-generation fighters!

One fifth-generation fighter taking on five third-generation fighters is like child's play. Even if they exhausted all the military strength of the country, they would not prevail, and this was just the aerial part.

Such a battle would only increase unnecessary casualties and the loss of national resources unless they also received external reinforcements. Otherwise, their ultimate defeat was inevitable.

This statement stumped Pratt completely.

Could they win?

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Pratt knew the answer in his heart. If it really was as reported, their chances of winning were almost zero!

"Send all the imagery data and report files over; I need to contact the higher-ups!"

...

"What? Tambat Kingdom has received military reinforcements?" This news immediately spread throughout Brahma Country, causing widespread panic.

"F22s and F35s? Has America intervened?"

"We protest, what right do you have to intervene in our dispute with Tambat Kingdom?" The people of Brahma Country immediately lodged a complaint internationally.

"Get lost, don't mess with us!" America also responded strongly, stating that the issue had nothing to do with them.

Although many of the involved equipment was manufactured in America, it should be noted that these items are not only used by them but are also sold internationally.

Of course, such a massive outflow of equipment certainly posed some issues, and they immediately launched a thorough investigation within their largest arms manufacturing companies.

After thorough investigation and evidence gathering, several international actors responded, stating that this matter had nothing to do with America. Their active-duty planes were all accounted for, and there had been no official channels for such large-scale military weapon sales recently. This was clearly not a normal situation.

"We protest, the fighting nation should not meddle in our affairs!" After getting no information from America, they directed their accusations toward the fighting nation, as the equipment also had traces of their involvement.

"It was us, you got a problem, let's sort this out with a fight!" True to their reputation as a fighting people, they didn't bother to explain and simply settled with a direct challenge!

This response shocked the people of Brahma Country; they dared not engage them in a fight⁠—wasn't that asking for trouble?

Days of investigation and protests made the frontline situation increasingly dire. The army of Brahma Country was in disarray, while the spirits of the Tambat forces were high. They not only reclaimed the land that had been previously occupied but had also nearly taken control of over 95% of the entire region.

In just a few days, the army of Brahma Country had lost more than 300 combat aircraft and 500 tanks. They also tried to wield a large number of long-range missiles to target and destroy this tank formation and combat aircraft squadron.

However, the air-tight missile defense system of the Tambat Kingdom precisely intercepted their missiles, and their response was a barrage of 500 long-range missiles that nearly turned the soil of the region upside down.

Apart from the tremendous loss of equipment, the loss of manpower in Brahma Country was also terrifying. Although not many died, Tambat Kingdom captured hundreds of prisoners of war and locked them all up in their POW camps!

The troops of Brahma Country, clinging to the last bit of territory, hardly dared to leave their strongholds for fear of endless artillery fire awaiting them outside.

In fact, it was not that the soldiers of Tambat Kingdom could not penetrate the small stronghold. Although geographically favorable for defense, in the face of absolute military power, these factors were merely fanciful.

It was only because beyond that point lay the internationally recognized territory of Brahma Country; their weapons were simply too powerful and could accidentally impact some small border towns of the enemy.

Fighting within disputed territories was legitimate, but advancing further would mean aggression, which was a completely different matter. Thus, the troops of Tambat also seemed somewhat hesitant.

Seizing this opportunity, they frantically requested military resources from the outside world, even offering substantial rewards, but no country took notice of them.

Tambat now was no longer the Tambat of the past. With 500 fifth-generation fighter jets, their comprehensive military strength could rank in the top 10 globally!

If one were to support them, it implied that they too had to deploy such formidable military strength in support.

But in the entire world, how many countries could deploy 500 fifth-generation fighter jets? A mere handful! Yet, how much manpower and resources would such military support consume? It would start at least at ten billion US dollars, right? Compared to the benefits proposed by Brahma Country, it was undoubtedly a losing deal!

Those who wanted to help lacked the capability, and those with the capability did not receive enough funds, which directly led them to a situation of isolation and helplessness.

However, the situation also caused some restlessness among the troops of Tambat. Although Zhang Menglong had provided them with many resources, they were eager to develop the areas they had reclaimed.

As long as the people of Brahma Country did not surrender and sign the peace agreement, the region was still far from peaceful, and war could resume at any moment. If not for being pushed to the limit, the people of Tambat truly detested war.

"General, they still refuse to surrender," a delegate tasked with persuasion duties reported to General Afur, "General, they are really shameless. They can't win, yet they refuse to surrender, and now they're hiding and we really can't do anything about them."

"Stay calm," General Afur was reading a book at his desk.

After interactions with Zhang Menglong, he had attempted to learn some things from Huaxia, and a week of study yielded significant insights. He slowly put down the Tambat-language version of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, then said, "There is a saying in Huaxia, 'Attacking cities is inferior, attacking hearts is superior!'"

"General, what does that mean?"

"We now have a huge advantage in military strength, but they still haven't announced their surrender. Do you know why?"

The delegate shook his head; if he knew, Brahma Country would have already surrendered.

"Because they still have hope in their hearts, some lingering faith. If we want them to surrender, we must crush their beliefs, shatter their spirit!"

"How can we accomplish that?" They had fought many tough battles; defeating an enemy physically was easy, but crushing someone's belief was not a simple task.

"It's simple—insult them, destroy their morale, make them experience what shame and 'social death' on an international level feel like, so they lose the courage and face to continue in this war!"

Having said that, General Afur took out a piece of paper, the ink still fresh, "This 'Thirty-Eight Disgraceful Acts' was given to us by that generous person from Huaxia, and this will be our strongest weapon in this battle of hearts!"
