Mecha and Knife

Jackson's question and Ji Xinghe's answer quickly spread to the relevant level.

When the Xinghe team, which had replaced its nuclear fuel cell, began its detour through the depths of the enemy-occupied area again, intense discussions began.

However, people don't know that Ji Xinghe's answer is actually an order, an order issued to the second theater.

"beat!"

When the order was sent back to the second theater, Liu Mian issued the same order in a more vicious and decisive tone.

Most of the people in the command center were a little confused, what to fight?

The war in the second war zone was almost at peace after Ji Rong Xinyue solved the five Prince A. The stubborn resistance of the Empire's No. 3 jump base has been completely disintegrated. The key is that the empire's storage area in the No. 3 jump base was destroyed by the independent group that mastered the blueprint of the jump base.

With the jump device already taken away by the independent regiment, the empire's troops have no weapons, ammunition, oxygen, food, or drinking water. The rest of the campaign is not difficult at all, and there is even no need to carry out the campaign. It only needs to hold three The entrance and exit of the No. 1 jump base can kill all the imperial soldiers in it.

That's why the independent regiment was able to return to the No. 6 base with Ji Rong Xinyue, and halfway rendezvous with the space battleship already carrying the machine repair team, and set off for the Gods Mountain theater for support.

So, what to fight?

When people were wondering, two transport spaceships belonging to the federal military appeared on the big screen of the second theater command center.

The entire Second War Zone belongs to the Federation's occupation zone, and there is no need to worry about the Empire's air attack, so the flying posture of these two spaceships is a bit swaggering, and it seems to be deliberately reminding the Second War Zone that they are coming. up.

Like duckweed, the drones floating above the dust storm for continuous investigation watched the two spaceships crash into the sea-like dust storm and launched a large number of guidance beacons.

The two spaceships that were completely unprepared were hit by more than one guidance beacon, but their flight attitudes remained unchanged, and there was no need to avoid them at all, or they chose to leave the dust storm area where the anti-missile system could not fully function .

The picture on the big screen of the command center in the second theater has changed from a clear image to a detection icon replaced by a red dot, but everyone can see that the two spaceships are still swaggering.

It's like a red cloth held by a bullfighter in a bullring.

In fact, it is not surprising that the spaceship of the federal military appeared in the occupied area of ​​​​the federation. If there is no danger, no matter how arrogantly it flies, it will not be a problem.

but……

"Red dot? Why is it a red dot?"

An officer suddenly exclaimed, causing many people to notice the key point that they had just ignored.

Green for one's own side represents safety, and red for the enemy represents danger. This is common sense that everyone on the alien planet knows. Then why, the two own spaceships are marked as red dots by the relevant personnel of the second war zone?

Also, why did the reconnaissance unit of the second war zone launch guidance beacons on these two spaceships just now?

The most important thing is that Liu Mian's 'hit' sound, recalling it now, everyone can feel the viciousness and cruelty in it.

Could it be...

"Report, we have completed the lock on the enemy spacecraft."

When the report sounded, another voice came.

"Please note the second war zone. Our ship belongs to the Federal Ministry of Defense and Gendarmerie. Immediately release the lock on our ship."

"Please note the second theater, our ship belongs to the Federal Department of Defense Equipment, immediately release the lock on our ship."

It was the communication from the two spaceships.

Gendarmerie? Equipment department?

Why did they come to the Second War Zone? And also dispatched two spaceships?

The panic in people's hearts turned into confusion because of this voice. Now that their identities have been revealed, no matter how strange and abrupt, the red light spot representing the enemy should also turn into a green light spot.

But the two light spots on the big screen are still red.

Moreover, the missile trajectory icons that locked the two spaceships also appeared on the big screen, and the rocket troops in the second theater had no intention of unlocking them at all.

Most importantly, Liu Mian did not issue an order to lift the lockdown.

He said: "I will give you ten seconds to return and leave our defense zone."

"Colonel Liu Mian, we have the Ministry of National Defense Gendarmerie and the Ministry of National Defense Equipment, which jointly issued an order, please receive the relevant documents immediately, and please immediately release the lock on our ship."

"nineteen."

"Colonel Liu Mian, are you crazy?"

"Eight, seven."

"Liu Mian, this is national defense..."

"Six, five."

"We're not going back."

"four three."

"Liu Mian, you will..."

"Two, one."

Liu Mian's countdown was not ten seconds, but his countdown was indeed over, so he gave the order.

"Fire!"

really?

This is not the spaceship of those mercenary companies, it is the spaceship of the Military Police Department and the Equipment Department, which cannot be messed with.

When almost everyone in the command center of the second theater was astonished, the missile had already been launched when Liu Mian's order was issued. It's like the unorganized missile soldiers in the second war zone, they don't even know that these two spaceships belong to the Federation, and they don't seem to care which department these two spaceships belong to. Obeyed the orders of the interim commanders in their theaters and carried them out.

The two spaceships that have entered the range of the dust storm have dropped to two thousand meters during the conversation, and one of them is targeting the No. 6 base, and the other is targeting the direction of the second canyon to the original No. 3 base. .

And base No. 6 and the second canyon have anti-aircraft missile launchers in the second theater. At such a distance, the speed of hypersonic missiles can be said to be almost instantaneous.

On the large screen in the command center, the launch trajectories of multiple missiles intersected with two red light spots with incomparable precision, and there was no follow-up trajectory extension.

Hit!

Hit?

"Liu Mian, are you crazy?"

Qiao Menglian looked at Liu Mian with a horrified expression, and his voice trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

"Report, our missiles successfully hit two enemy spacecraft. The enemy spacecraft is making a forced landing. We have locked their landing area. Please instruct."

After the indifferent machine-like report sounded, Liu Mian gave another order.

"Dispatch the ground forces, capture the enemy spacecraft, and if you encounter resistance...kill all the resisters."

"Personnel?" Qiao Menglian rushed to Liu Mian and grabbed Liu Mian's collar with both hands: "You also know that there are people in those two spaceships? They are people, they are people!"

Liu Mian was expressionless, and reached out to stop the guards who were at a loss but rushed over due to their duties.

As for what they rushed over for, they really didn't know.

"The old man said that any unit that enters my second theater without permission will be attacked by us as an enemy." Liu Mian said calmly, looked at Qiao Menglian indifferently, and said loudly: "You shouldn't Ask me if I'm crazy, you should ask if they're crazy."

In a word, everyone in the command center remembered the order Ji Xinghe had issued before, or the announcement to the entire Federation.

"No matter what the reason is, those two space battleships are full of people, not imperial orangutans." Qiao Menglian's hands holding Liu Mian's collar were slightly loose, but his voice was still full of anger: "They are communicating with us, why are you To give the order to fire?"

Liu Mian's voice became louder: "I gave them a chance."

"They're just following orders!"

"I'm just following orders!"

Qiao Menglian was stunned, his hands lost strength as if his limbs had been amputated, and after he loosened Liu Mian's collar, the angry expression on his face gradually turned into bewilderment.

Yes, Liu Mian was just following orders.

As the deputy chief of staff of the second theater, Liu Mian was the undisputed supreme commander when Ji Xinghe and Chen Xun were absent. Although Tu Yuan obtained the operational command of the Second War Zone on the Empire 3 jump base at the request of Ji Xinghe, but it is the Second War Zone's own business whether to fight those two spaceships.

Liu Mian was only carrying out the order, Liu Mian had this power and also had this obligation.

Ignoring Qiao Menglian, Liu Mian continued to give orders while straightening his collar.

"Immediately call the Federal Ministry of Defense Equipment, the Federal Ministry of Defense and Gendarmerie, and ask them what they want to do."

kindness?

The people whose emotions have not been relieved were shocked again: What on earth do you want to do? You suddenly became so crazy, does the old man know?

As if hearing the voices of the people, Liu Mian, who issued a crazy order and then another crazy order, added: "In the name of the commander of the second theater, General Ji Xinghe."

A fox pretends to be a tiger?

No!

Everyone is very clear that Ji Xinghe is now able to maintain communication capabilities with the headquarters of the second theater. Tu Yuan saw what happened just now. with communication.

With the communication maintained, Qiao Menglian had already argued with Liu Mian a lot. Ji Xinghe, Tu Yuan and the others really didn't have time to say something? It's unlikely that people like Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan will be so shocked that they can't speak because of Liu Mian's crazy and arrogant orders, right?

The command center of the second theater, whose state can be described as weird, seems to have returned to normal because of Liu Mian's supplementary sentence. It questioned the telegrams from the Federal Defense Equipment Department and the National Defense Gendarmerie Department, dispatched ground troops in the second theater, and prepared to When the two spacecraft that had completed the forced landing were seized, they were sent to the Nantianmen space station.

As the largest "weapon" invested by the Federation in Alien Planet, the Nantianmen Space Station not only has the headquarters, but also representatives from various departments of the Federation, including high-level personnel from the Equipment Department and the Gendarmerie Department.

At this time, in their office area, the scene of panic was even worse than that of the second theater command center just now.

"Who, who sent those two spaceships? Don't you know General Ji Xinghe's previous announcement?"

"What are they going to do, what are they going to do in the Second War Zone?"

"The people in the second theater are crazy? How dare they attack our spaceship, how dare they attack our people."

"Have our people sacrificed?"

"Not currently, but, yes."

"..."

"Let's talk about the current question first. General Ji Xinghe is questioning us. How should we respond?"

"How dare he question us? It was his people who fired on our people, not ours on theirs."

"But our people are the ones going to catch him."

"Before we acted, it was a misunderstanding and he had no right to fire on our people."

"Do you want to reply to the second war zone like this?"

"First we need to decide whether we want to reply to General Ji Xinghe, or to Liu Mian from the second theater!"

"How are you sure? Contact General Ji Xinghe?"

"Look for the Commander-in-Chief."

——

Ivanovic was a little flustered, but also secretly happy.

He finally determined that the fact that Ji Rongxinyue took the independent group to support the Gods Mountain was not because Ji Xinghe wanted to put all his eggs in one basket to start a decisive battle with the empire, but to lure the snake out of the hole.

Fortunately, I have Li Anbang's reminder, otherwise, I will become the head of the snake that was drawn out.

If Ji Xinghe just wants to catch snakes, the problem is actually not that big, but if Ji Xinghe is ready to deal ruthlessly, then when a snake head of his level appears, Ji Xinghe will have to cut it off with a single knife.

The body of the snake is not that important anymore.

"I will immediately contact General Ji Xinghe to inquire about the specific situation. Before that, I hope you can exercise restraint and not further intensify the conflict."

Of course, this kind of statement can't make the Equipment Department and the Military Police Department feel relieved. After all, their spaceship has been attacked, and there may be casualties.

"Assume responsibility?" Ivanovic sneered, "When will the commander-in-chief be able to directly pursue the responsibility of the commander-in-chief? Why didn't I know that I have such authority?"

Except for Li Anbang, the commander-in-chief of the Federation is mainly responsible for coordinating the various theaters and departments of Azure Star. There are very few opportunities to actually command operations, and the most operations are to support various theaters.

Because the position of commander-in-chief is not the commander-in-chief of all units of the federal military, but the commander-in-chief of the Alien Defense Force. And the various theaters of the Federation are not completely subordinate to the Alien Defense Force. For example, the Federation Space Fleet is divided into the Yingzhou Space Fleet, the Dragon Island Space Fleet, etc., not the Defense Force Space Fleet.

There are also space marines belonging to various fleets, as well as rocket troops and missile troops belonging to various continents and theaters, etc., but after arriving at the alien planet, they will be incorporated into the command sequence of the defense force, led by Nantianmen Headquarters coordinate and deploy.

So there is no problem with Ivanovic's words. When he said these words, he suddenly thought of a very scary possibility: Ji Xinghe was forced to make such a fuss, was it because someone wanted to be promoted to commander-in-chief? What about the authority?

Shaking his head slightly to get rid of distracting thoughts, Ivanovic continued to respond to the question.

"Colonel Liu Mian who gave the order to fire? That is General Ji Xinghe's business. I think, after contacting him, he will give you a reasonable explanation, or you can give him a reasonable explanation."

"Why haven't I contacted you yet? Now General Ji Xinghe is leading the Xinghe team to go deep into the enemy's belly to investigate the last jump base of the empire on the alien planet, and at the same time look for opportunities so that we can use nuclear weapons to cause major damage to the empire's forces. You guys , Is it to affect General Ji Xinghe's battle plan? Do I need to remind you how much significance the battle plan that General Ji Xinghe is implementing has to our Federation?"

"Needless to say, I am the commander-in-chief."

Ivanovic's tone became indifferent, and he said: "No matter what reason you have, or what you want to do to the second theater, you should first inform me and get my permission. Especially In the event that the Second Theater is fighting, but you have not done so, I reserve the right to hold those responsible within your department accountable.

Now, I once again remind and ask you not to intensify conflicts and prevent our soldiers from completing their duties.

This is my job as the commander-in-chief of the Federation Alien Defense Force, which I should do and have the right to do. "
