Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"Salute." Under the command of Major General Galancha, all the officers who greeted General Jax gave a solemn military salute to the general who walked out of the cabin. Jialancha is the commander of Tris Base, and Ye is still under his control in terms of non-military operations. Therefore, in this kind of situation, Jialancha can only give orders, not Ye, a person with a higher military rank.

"Everyone, take a break. Go into the air-conditioned terminal to talk. This year's Tyrad is much hotter than last year." Jax smiled and returned the greeting, gesturing for everyone to go to the terminal. If we talk here, no one will be able to stand in half an hour.

After entering the terminal, Jax dismissed the officers after a routine speech, and then motioned Ye and Jialan to go to his office. Both of them were his favorite generals, one in strategy and the other in tactics. aspect.

"Admiral." Ye and Garancha saluted in front of Jax's huge desk.

Admiral Jax waved his hand with a smile, "Why don't you be more serious? We are all our own people. One is my nephew and the other is my favorite student. Why are you being so reserved in front of me?"

Hearing Jax's words, Ye immediately untied the Feng Ji button on his collar and complained: "Huh, it makes me so uncomfortable. Whoever designed this Feng Ji button must suffer."

Jialancha also found a seat and sat down. The admiral was obviously meeting them in a private capacity, so there was no need for many people to stand there solemnly.

Seeing the performance of the two of them, Admiral Jax was also happy and said with a smile: "You two are so rude, you immediately showed your true colors."

Ye silently poured himself a glass of water and found a seat to sit down, took a big sip, and then said: "Sir, I haven't rested since I came out of Thor Fortress. I can be forgiven for being a little lazy. Well."

Jax glanced at Night's epaulettes. He raised his eyes and looked at Ye, who looked like I'm sorry, you should understand me, and said cheerfully: "If you fell asleep all the way out of Thor Fortress, would you still be able to get the rank of special major?"

Ye looked at his epaulettes, pretended to be proud and said, "Sir, I should be the first special-level major in the Federation."

Jax smiled and shook his head, sighed deliberately and poured cold water on Ye: "The promotion order from the military department reached the Space Force first, so Cologne became a special colonel earlier than you. You young man is a step behind."

Ye suddenly became speechless. He performed very well when chasing the Eighth Fleet, but the performance of the Iron-Blooded Commandos was also very eye-catching, especially in the final battle of New London Star Horizon, they captured a large group of mechas. Coupled with the four battleships that paralyzed their firepower, the entire commando team members are probably enough to advance to one level of military merit.

"Hey." Jialancha laughed heartlessly on the side. Although they only spent a short time together with Ye, the two of them were quite attracted to each other and had become good friends. At the age of 56, Jialancha, who legitimately became an older brother but whose military rank was unfortunately half a point lower than Ye's, naturally did not miss any opportunity to laugh at Ye.

"Heinz, don't laugh at the night. A while ago, you used the ghost transport plane to drop camouflaged troops near the empire's rear supply base to disrupt the empire's logistics. It was indeed successful, but this time you lost the best camouflaged commando in our federation, the Skeleton Assault. Team, you have to take full responsibility. You already know that the empire will test the latest weapons there, why do you airdrop your troops there? Don’t you want the Skeleton Commandos to suffer heavy losses? The Skeleton Commandos use It's a mass-produced machine. It's not a special machine for night use, and its performance is not as good as the commandos of Cologne's Iron-Blooded Commandos." General Jax said something that shocked Ye.

Jialancha smiled bitterly, handed Jax a disk helplessly and said, "Teacher. I knew you would ask me about this when you came."

"Huh? Video data?" Jax took the disk from Jialancha and put it into the player. The scene of Major Charlotte in Jialancha's office appeared on the screen, in all federal bases and headquarters. There are surveillance videos. On the one hand, it is necessary to protect the commander's safety. On the other hand, it is to record whether the commander's orders are wrong, which will help the federal military find the reasons for the failure of the operation.

Major Ron on the screen looked very excited, not only did he break into the headquarters without knocking on the door. He also hit Jialancha's desk hard, making a loud thud. This move made both Ye and Jax look up at Garancha with suspicious expressions.

Garancha shrugged. Pointing to the screen, he said helplessly: "You will know after watching it. The sound recorded by the recording equipment of the surveillance video is still very clear."

"Why do you want to cancel this operation? Major General." In the video, Ron, who was resting his hands on Jialancha's desk, roared, "Why did you cancel the operation temporarily when you knew clearly that there was only one mecha defending the Empire's 168th supply base? What? Can’t my Skeleton Commando even defeat a Bear?"

"According to information from our intelligence department, the empire will conduct testing activities of new equipment near the 168th supply base. I can't let you take risks." Jialancha, who was sitting behind his desk, opened a video in front of Ron. This video is very blurry. The black and white picture tells people that this is the scene seen through a high-magnification telescope. An Imperial airborne craft is landing. What is loaded inside is the Imperial fighter jet that Ye Kai returned to Base 3. car.

Ron frowned disdainfully, pointed at the video and said to Jialancha: "Major General, isn't it just an experimental weapon of the empire? My commando and I can definitely destroy them. We have six people and one enemy plane. It is impossible to stay in front of our commandos for a long time. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the experimental weapons can operate well on the battlefield, let alone direct contact with actual combat. The desert is not the universe, and the desert environment has strict requirements on mechas. Much more.”

After turning off the video, Jialancha smiled bitterly at Ron and said: "I think the risk of this mission is still a bit high. Since the emperor dares to put this experimental weapon into the 168 supply base near the front line for testing, it shows that they have This weapon has a lot of confidence, otherwise the garrison force of the 168th Base from one Bear Commando to only one Bear. I think this is obviously a trap to lure us to attack."

"This is the enemy's empty city plan, boss. If it is a trap, they will mobilize troops from surrounding bases to ambush, but our air force's reconnaissance force found no traces of the empire's ambush near Base 168." Ron pointed at Jialan. Said the huge military map in the office. His finger also drew a circle near Empire Base 168, indicating that there were no Imperial troops at those locations.

Jialancha was silent, if it was not roughly the same as his concerns. The empire must be too optimistic about their experimental weapons, in the ground war. Affected by gravity and climate, the gap between ace pilots and ordinary pilots has been greatly narrowed. This is the biggest reason why the military does not send the federation's first ace commando to perform airborne operations. If, as he expected, the Empire wanted to set a trap for federal troops trying to take advantage of them, why did so many empire troops show no signs of gathering? You must know that the federal air force, which almost completely controls the sky, visits the imperial base every half an hour. , using high-definition cameras to record the situation of the imperial troops, coupled with continuous sunny weather. The imperial troop movements in Jialancha's hands are the latest and most complete. Major General Jialancha was still full of uneasiness and was unwilling to send his best camouflage troops to attack the originally planned imperial supply base.

Ron was obviously dissatisfied with Jialancha's hesitation. He stood up straight and saluted: "Major General Jialancha, our commando team volunteers to go on this mission. Please agree." After saying that, Ron took off his The pilot badge on the chest of the military uniform was placed heavily on Jialancha's desk.

This behavior of taking off one's own badge is the expression of the troop leader in the federal army when his subordinates ask him to perform actions that are not allowed by his superiors. This means that this unit volunteered for the mission and could only mobilize its own forces without any support from friendly forces. If the mission is successful, military merit can be accumulated. But these military achievements did not come with any commendation or promotion. If the mission fails, all retreating personnel of the entire unit will be demoted by one rank. This is quite a serious punishment in the current federation where it is difficult to upgrade military ranks.

Faced with Ron's persistence, Jialancha had no choice but to confirm again: "Major Ron, are you sure that all your subordinates will voluntarily participate in this operation?"

"Yes, boss." Ron answered without any hesitation, and his loud voice showed his determination.

Jialancha rubbed his temples, shook his head gently, put away Ron's badge, and said: "Okay. Since you are so persistent, I will agree to your action. Alas, if If your opponent is too strong, call for support directly and we will try our best to provide you with maximum support in the shortest possible time. This is the only thing I can do for you, Ron."

The video of Garancha made Admiral Jax and Ye smile bitterly. It seemed that the total destruction of the Skeleton Commandos was entirely caused by Ron's insistence, but Jax didn't understand why Ron was so persistent. Undertake the mission of attacking the 168th supply base.

Jax frowned and thought for a long time, but did not understand Ron's thoughts. He could only ask one of the parties involved in the incident, "Heinz, can you tell me why Ron must do something better? Why did Skeleton Do all the commando team members support him?"

"It's not Ye and the others who caused the trouble." Jialancha pointed to Ye Dao, who was sitting aside and feeling a little sad with a wry smile.

Jax asked Jialancha's words to make him even more confused about the situation, and he looked up at the two people suspiciously.

Ye smiled bitterly, and said to Jax before Galancha could: "Sir, you know that only me, Cologne, and Ron in the flagship squadron of our elite Thirteenth Fleet survived the Battle of Odessa."

"Yeah." Jax nodded to show that he knew.

"Now Cologne and I are both commando captains of the federal ace commando team. Only Ron is still the captain of the ordinary commando team. With Ron's character, he is not willing to let us be stronger than him, but the skeletons he leads Although the commando team has a great record, there is still a long way to go before the goal of becoming an all-ace commando team, so he will not let go of any fighter opportunity." Ye, who knows Ron well, explained that when he was in Luo When Gilas was on board, Ron often challenged Ye and Cologne, trying to prove that he was not weaker than Franklin's two favorite aces, but unfortunately they all ended in failure.

"And Ron, this guy has a very adventurous spirit. Sometimes this kind of spirit is what we need, but sometimes we don't like it." Jialancha also added.

Ye cut the video on the disk to show the Imperial airborne craft, and said calmly: "Ron's operation has been successful. He has actually injured the Imperial tank pilot, but he wants to save the personnel on the Imperial airborne craft." The thought of killing it together prevented him from carefully checking the damage to the tank, which gave the empire's pilots an opportunity to die together with him."

"Phew." Jax gently rubbed his temples, "It seems that the annihilation of the Skeleton Commandos was entirely caused by Major Ron's excessive persistence. Alas, it is a pity that our federation has lost another group of powerful pilots. ah."

The two people who heard Jax's sigh also lowered their heads, and suddenly the atmosphere in the entire office seemed a little dull.

Jax clapped his hands and took the lead to break the dullness in the office. He said solemnly: "The total destruction of the Skeleton Commandos has become a fact. There is no need for us to investigate who is responsible for the failure of this operation. We What we have to do now is how to counterattack the imperial forces and avenge our sacrificed soldiers. You are also considered very senior officers in the New London Star Army. I need your opinions on the war situation in the Tyrad region."

When Ye heard that Jax wanted to listen to his strategic opinions, he went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Sir, please let me command a small-scale mecha battle or an air battle. Okay, but I can’t offer any overall strategic advice.”

Jax raised his eyes to look at Ye, curled his lips slightly, and pulled out a piece of information from his computer, "Ye Huaxia, the first place in the federal strategic application selection competition, Young Master Ye, your results in the military selection, I But everyone knows it.”

Ye raised his eyes and looked at the computer in Jax's hand, his intestines almost turned green with regret. At first, I wanted to have fun and participated in the strategy application competition. I just wanted to play a real-time strategy game, but inexplicably won a grand prize. Ye was happy for a while at that time, and some people from the staff came to stay overnight, but Ye refused. But now Ye Ning did not have a ranking at that time. You must know that considering the overall situation is the most troublesome. Games and simulations are okay. There is no loss if you fail. But in reality, once you fail, thousands of soldiers will lose their This mistake cost him his life. Ye is unwilling and unable to bear this responsibility.

"I know what you are worried about?" Jax kept staring at Ye and noticed the hesitation on Ye's face. "What I need is your opinion to improve my plan, not to ask you to take the lives of soldiers." Responsibility, so speak out your thoughts boldly. Maybe what you see is something I could not predict, and this can save the lives of many of our federal soldiers." (To be continued)
