Bayji Refinery Command Center, 3:47 AM.
Song Heping, who was woken up by nature's call in the middle of the night, pushed open the door of the Tactical Analysis Room, where the three main screens on the wall flashed different bands of data streams.
The left screen showed a weather satellite cloud map, the center showed the electronic signal density distribution in the battle zone, and the right displayed a drone overview obtained through special channels with about a fifteen-minute delay.
Two on-duty analysts were quietly exchanging data.
"Boss."
A young analyst from "Musician" Defense looked up, "There's a change in the weather. Hot convection in the western desert is unusually active. The weather model predicts a severe sandstorm will hit the Tetric region in three to four hours."
"A sandstorm?"
Song Heping felt a slight shock.
It seems like even the heavens aren't on the Americans' side.
