In the spacious CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Union, the flagship of the Tenth Fleet, Wells was listening to the report of his staff officers with a frown.

"Your Excellency Commander, the three newly discovered cavities are all atypical cavities with unstable structures, so they were successfully destroyed by our anti-matter bombs. However, there are currently 800,000 to 1 million Zerg units active in Black Mercury, with hundreds of them The lives and safety of tens of thousands of federal citizens are under severe threat.”

One million Zerg!

Wells' face was very ugly, and he looked at the staff officer with deep complaints in his eyes. The staff officer pretended not to notice in embarrassment.

These staff officers are all to blame for this!

Initially, after the Tenth Fleet surrounded Black Mercury and faced the menacing swarm of insects, the huge staff group on the USS Union mothership analyzed it and believed that it should be prudent.

Concentrate superior forces and adopt defeat tactics to ensure the safety of the Tenth Fleet to the greatest extent.

The idea spoke directly to Wells's heart.

The Tenth Fleet has lost two squadrons. If Black Mercury hadn't been right behind Pearl Harbor, he wouldn't even have thought of coming to suppress the bandits.

So he immediately agreed to this plan, striving to defeat the swarm at the minimum cost.

The effect is indeed good.

The Insect Queen on Black Mercury is no match for the Federation's main fleet. With only some flying dragons and blasting mosquitoes on hand, it is impossible to break through the super-dense barrage of the Federation fleet.

Therefore, the battle process can be said to be one-sided.

The insect swarm was quickly defeated, and the three small caves used to transport troops were blown up one after another, cutting off the insect swarm's reinforcements.

It's a pity,

The long period of peace made the Federation people forget about the specialness of the insect swarm.

The insect swarms are not human beings. They will not surrender as a result of defeat. They are lucky enough to escape collectively. The most troublesome thing is that they scatter in all directions and spread everywhere.

It's hard to find.

at the moment,

The entire Black Mercury has simply become a house of cockroaches. On the surface, all the insects are hiding, but secretly they may have built their nests somewhere.

This is the problem currently facing the Federal Navy.

They had a great time just now. They bullied the insects without heavy firepower. They bombarded them with all kinds of artillery fire and slaughtered millions of insect swarms.

That's called a triumphant advance.

The federal soldiers also became relaxed and confident from the initial anxiety and fear, feeling that the insect swarm was nothing more than that and had nothing to fear.

Then, it became the mess that I am now.

"Have you found the insect queen and the insect nest?"

Wells asked expectantly.

The subordinates were a little embarrassed, "Still, still looking for..."

"inability!"

Wales was very angry. Their fleet had the most powerful warships in the Federation, but they couldn't even find a hidden beast?

What use do you need?

"The entire federation and even the entire galaxy are aware of the crisis that occurred here, and everyone is watching us!"

Wells glanced majestically at the senior officers.

"The Presidential Office and the Ministry of National Defense have sent notices, ordering us to properly handle this Black Mercury crisis and never let the insect swarm spread!"

A captain from United Mining suddenly became unhappy.

"Orders? What right do they have to give us orders? There are no reinforcements yet, and they have the nerve to point fingers at us? If they want to watch the excitement, then they will deliberately release the insect swarm and let everyone have fun together!"

Snap!

Wells immediately slapped the man and stared at him fiercely.

"Did you shoot your IQ into the belly of a sex doll? There are three large-scale mining areas of our group and more than 50 small and medium-sized mining areas near Black Mercury. Once the situation gets out of control, our United Mining industry will directly evaporate by 20%! Give you a chance to reorganize your language, otherwise I will send you to Novosibirsk to mine!"

The captain's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Novosibirsk is an extremely cold planet with temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius all year round. Although it has rich mineral deposits and rich oil and water, there is nowhere to spend the money.

The surrounding area is full of active pirates, and Aegis Logistics does not deliver goods there.

He quickly changed his words.

"Please forgive my ignorance, Commander. I will resolutely obey the group's orders and promise to do my best to properly handle this crisis and safeguard the interests of the group."

Wells snorted coldly.

"You better be! Why don't you take the lead in wiping out the insect swarm? Remember, you will be broadcast live across the galaxy. Do you know what to do?"

The captain's face changed slightly and he quickly asked for advice.

Wells spoke calmly.

"First of all, you need to let the whole world see the grace of our Tenth Fleet. We must fight bravely and our methods must be clean and neat. But at the same time, we must also show the brutality of the insect swarm and the difficulty of our operations so that everyone can Know the pressure we face and the responsibilities we bear. Finally, you should appeal to the outside world for assistance at the appropriate time, and say a few words about the Yin and Yang groups, without being too obvious..."

The insects must be exterminated, and the hostages must be rescued.

After all, the whole world is watching. If this matter can be solved perfectly, then their Tenth Fleet will have capital, and the two lost squadrons may be replenished through the federal military budget.

So Wells made some arrangements,

The captain led his Gorgon-class battleship, escorted by two Minotaurs, to Black Mercury.

The Gorgon-class battleship has a huge hull of more than a thousand meters long, casting a large shadow over the island.

This is the largest island in Black Mercury. It is home to the colonial governor's palace and a civil airport. The total number of local residents and tourists exceeds 500,000.

It is also the area most likely to have insect nests.

What's even more troublesome is that there are too many big guys here. It would be easier if they died. The problem is that many of them are still alive and kicking, and they are constantly asking the federation for help through ground base stations.

It was too late for Wells to intercept the communication.

He originally wanted to destroy this place with a nuclear bomb, but in the face of the crazy pressure from all walks of life, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and send people to gnaw on the hardest bones here.

"Captain, the situation below is very strange. The bugs did not massacre the residents here, but instead hid them all."

The fleet had watched tens of thousands of insects rush into the colony before, but now all of them were gone?

"Fire the cannon and drive the bugs out!"

The adjutant was immediately startled and quickly advised, "But there are still civilians down there..."

The captain glanced coldly at the adjutant.

"First of all, civilians should hide in underground shelters, and there will be no one on the ground. Secondly, the residential areas are still fine now. When the broadcast starts, do you want everyone in the world to witness with their own eyes that the federal navy has destroyed the home of mankind? ?”

The adjutant suddenly understood.

A wave of bombings first, and when faced with the ruins, the audience will default to the fact that the insect swarm destroyed everything, which can better highlight the bravery and fearlessness of the Federal Marines when they climbed onto the scorched earth to fight the enemy.

As for whether civilians will be accidentally injured...

Who knows how many hostages will be alive before the rescue begins.

Anyone who dies before the rescue is successful cannot be considered a hostage!
