Chapter 534: Chapter 342: Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix (First Update)
Siamese City, Imperial Palace.
Inside the Central Command Facility, a hub for overall wartime command and operations had been set up since the war began.
Senior officers from the army, navy, air force, and various logistics departments could all be found here.
The recently enthroned King Pupeng of Siam took a hands-on approach to the war, and had been closely monitoring the progress since declaring war two days earlier.
To facilitate ease of command, he had moved the Central Command inside the Imperial Palace.
“Your Majesty, the Jieke Group’s Steel Camp has been deployed,”
Army Commander Bhansong and Chief of General Staff Narong hurriedly reported the shocking news they had confirmed several times to King Pupeng.
“What?”
Pupeng stood up abruptly from his chair, his face a picture of shock.
He had been very anxious these past few days. Although the fighting at the border was still in a deadlock, he was clearly aware that losing this war would spell a terrible fate for him, something he desperately wished to avoid: the disgrace of diminishing national sovereignty.
Upon suddenly hearing the news about the true trump card of the Jieke Group, the Steel Camp, he was understandably tense.
“It’s confirmed. Steel Camp attacked three of our military camps in Beibi Prefecture last night, causing over five thousand casualties, and they have been active nearby today. Relying on their formidable individual soldier strength, they are harassing our troops,”

As Army Commander Bhansong rapidly laid out the situation, he stood in front of a sand table and marked the areas of Steel Camp activity with little flags, allowing Pupeng to see the battlefield situation clearly.
“That location is only a little more than two hundred kilometers from Manchester, they wouldn’t be considering a decapitation strategy, would they?”
Seeing the area displayed on the sand table, Pupeng felt a chill, and his immediate thought was that Steel Camp was coming for him.
Given the superhuman combat capabilities of Steel Camp, if they really breached Manchester, Pupeng felt he would likely be captured alive, a prospect that truly chilled him to the bone.
After all, the formidable combat reputation of Steel Camp had been forged through bloody battles.
“Your Majesty, in my view, the deployment of Steel Camp might actually be an opportunity for us,”
On the other side, Chief of General Staff Narong shook his head, proposing a different perspective.
“Do not worry about safety, Your Majesty. We have seven divisions stationed near Manchester: the 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, 9th Infantry Division, 11th Infantry Division, 2nd Cavalry Division (Light Armored Division), 3rd Engineer Division, and 1st Heavy Armored Division. With more than one hundred thousand troops, not even Steel Camp with their iron and muscle could defeat our forces,”
Holding a conductor’s baton, Narong pointed at the southern position of Beibi Prefecture on the map, which consisted mostly of plains.
“Steel Camp appeared here, near the Durand Highway. A lot of our logistical supplies sent to the frontline must pass through here. They aim to threaten our logistical lines. But this vast plain is hardly their home ground, Your Majesty, the chance to annihilate Steel Camp is right in front of us.”
The more Narong spoke, the more excited he became, drawing the attention of Bhansong and Pupeng.
“Annihilate Steel Camp?”
On hearing this, Pupeng’s mouth hung open, staring at Narong. Did this man realize what he was suggesting?
If Steel Camp could be so easily annihilated, could they have built such a formidable reputation?
Seeing the expression on King Pupeng’s face, it seemed Narong understood his thoughts and continued: “Many people have mythologized the renowned Steel Camp. No one can deny their strength, but everyone overlooks that Steel Camp is not invincible.
They thrive in complex environments and with their formidable individual combat abilities. But they can still die under artillery fire, can’t survive machine gun sweeps, not to mention getting ground to pieces by rocket artillery and aerial bombings.
And our armored forces stationed in Manchester are the nemesis of Steel Camp, Your Majesty. A glorious opportunity is before us, just deploy our 1st Heavy Armored Division. Just find Steel Camp, and we can eliminate them completely.
This opportunity is rare, if we miss this chance and they escape into forests and cities, it will be much harder to deal with them.”
Hearing Narong’s words, Pupeng was suddenly struck with a realization, thinking, That makes sense!
In a flurry, he looked towards the map, asking, “Is it really feasible? Commander Bhansong, what do you think?”
Bhansong, somewhat annoyed at himself for not realizing this opportunity and thereby letting Narong shine, could only flatter: “Your Majesty, if Steel Camp does not react in time, it truly could be possible.
On the plains, their biological armors are no match for our tanks and armored vehicles. However, to be safe, I suggest deploying the 2nd Cavalry Division too, using this more mobile light armored division to coordinate, and prevent Steel Camp from escaping our encirclement.”
With Bhansong�s confirmation, Pupeng’s heart began to race excitedly, feeling a surge of hot blood, and his breath became heavier.
“So, so we can really eliminate Steel Camp, this ace unit of the Jieke Group?”
Pupeng’s voice was filled with disbelief, excitement, and nervousness, flavored with a hint of skepticism.
Steel Camp was too famous. As the first mechanical army unit of Blue Star, its soldiers had undergone genetic modifications, non-human. They had achieved many incredible battle records, their reputation built on tens of thousands of corpses.
