People's Federation will live forever

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of the Legion, we didn't come to quarrel with you." Carter tapped the table with his fingers, signaling to the two of them, but his eyes kept on the silent brigadier general—— According to common sense, brigadier generals are cadres at the deputy division level, but they are not yet at the command level of the headquarters.He originally thought that person was his new boss, but looking at the other party's legion logo, it was a shield emblem that he had never seen before.

At this time, the Brigadier General raised his head and said, "Ah, I forgot to introduce myself...I am Wu Wei, Commander of the Guardian Legion. You may not know me, but we will be colleagues from now on."

Then, Wu Wei stood up. Maybe it was his figure or maybe his temperament. The three endured the pressure from each other, but even if they stood up, they could only look up at Wu Wei. The latter clicked on his terminal, Some of the documents were uploaded to several top Defense Force officers.

"I regret to inform everyone that the leader will not attend this meeting for the time being, and I will preside over it... Well, everyone, the conditions are limited, here I announce two meeting disciplines, after that, we will discuss the affairs of our three legions for the first time. A discussion."

The current staffing of the Defense Force is far inferior to that of the Black Hand, and the reconstruction of the Legion is a concern of everyone.After Wu Wei's succinct self-introduction, he started the meeting directly, but soon, he realized that this meeting would not be easy.

Because two commanders ignored the discipline of the meeting, they started to quarrel again.

As we all know, zocom compares itself to an eagle soaring in the sky. As the special air service group of the GDI Air Force, it is natural to look down on the army of the stepmothers of Steel Claw, especially the old-fashioned old equipment that Steel Claw still uses, even the ordinary The army is not as good as it is, and it is nicknamed "waste claw".But it was precisely because of being unpopular that Steel Talon became a very reliable army of veterans, who did all kinds of hard work like cattle but accumulated the most combat experience.

And the verbal dispute between the two sides is more focused on the fact that zocom has a large number of female soldiers-specifically, although every soldier hopes to have more members of the opposite sex around him, the arrogance of men makes the soldiers all adhere to the "women should not For Natalia, who led the Echo Team, they have proved themselves countless times with their achievements. Women always have advantages over men when it comes to precision operations and observation work, and technology also makes up for it. The physical advantage of both sides.The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides did not stop even during the meeting, and the two reached a consensus on how to deal with Wu Wei to a certain extent.

They had never heard of such a person in the fraternity, and they did not get any explanation. They were forced to follow the rules by the chain of command, but they were not convinced at all. They often tacitly evade the most important issues on various questions, either not answering at all, or trying to find out where he is coming from.

However, the brigadier general was obviously very patient. When he found that the three were clearly coping, he stopped what he was doing, looked at them with scrutiny, and asked, "I said, everyone, have you ever commanded troops above the group army? "

"..."

"So, above the division? No...then there are more than 3000 people?"

There was silence in the conference room.

Wu Wei shook his head: "I know what you're thinking. Strictly speaking, I'm not your immediate superior, but the leader... But in terms of experience in legion combat, when I was your age, I had already organized battles involving tens of thousands of people. .”

Natalia couldn't help it anymore. The short-haired beauty asked in standard Russian English, "General, which army did you belong to before? I've never heard of you, whether it's in Europe or America."

"That's not the point!" Wu Wei interrupted the question by knocking on the table, "Now the Brotherhood is still in the stage of rebuilding, we are very short of manpower, that's why the leader will promote you. The supplies are pitifully low, and the most urgent task is to step up reconstruction, but you have completely failed to show the qualities that a regiment leader should have."

"Sloppy, undisciplined, and don't even know what to do! Do you feel elated because you were lucky enough to be promoted? Do you think no one can control you?!"

Wu Wei reprimanded the three of them almost by spraying his saliva on their faces, but the three who originally wanted to make trouble were overwhelmed by Wu Wei's arrogance and threats.Then, after spraying for a few minutes, Wu Wei, who scolded them so much that they didn't dare to look up, continued to shout without panting:

"Honestly speaking, the task that the leader entrusted to me is to transform the three of you from the status of soldiers to the officers we need. I don't want to let the leader down, so you don't let me down either! This meeting is not only about planning the future of our army , and one more thing is that the three of you... start to receive training in command techniques from me today!"

Chapter 110 Three Base Group Portraits

On this day, many things happened in the fraternity.

When scholars of later generations study this period of history, this day is often marked as "the first page of history", because it achieved too many firsts. It was on this day that it established the basic structure of the empire and established the Unshakable leadership of the Brotherhood.

For the first time, Blackhand fought side by side with the newly formed Defense Army, and resisted the orcs' attack on Uldun City with a one-to-one exchange ratio. This was also the first day of the Defense Army's establishment.In the same way, the humans from the Tiberian Earth accepted the local civilians of Sira for the first time, and the civil administration system also built a framework to form a mature political system.The leader and his generals made a complete and coordinated plan with the whole world as the chessboard. The second phase was announced and the second base located far away from the mainland was also put into use. Although this is only a prototype, it has a bright future The door has been opened for humanity.

However, for the current base, not many people realize how special this day is. The Supreme Council did not make special announcements and celebrations, and the defense soldiers on the day of the Army Day are still busy counting equipment and statistic personnel , and also worried - because of an order from the leader, in every grassroots unit, a guy named political and combat officer was assigned from the platoon to the top. The official statement is to supervise military discipline and training, and strengthen the soldiers Fighting will, but this group of guys in black coats, white gloves, and shiny shoes look like bastards borrowed from the black hand next door, and what they are doing is different from the dismantled and reorganized gendarmerie. It doesn't look any different, it's just to make people feel uncomfortable!

The political and combat officers are directly managed by the political committee of the headquarters. In other words, the political and combat officers at the platoon level can only be restrained by the political and combat officers at the company level. The platoon leader has no right to issue orders to his partners. Interfering with the command of an officer.In fact, the military officers would lead the gendarmerie to monitor the morale of the troops in wartime, which is a euphemism, and serve as the officers' staff and combat strength personnel.Once disobedience, chaos, flight, and serious violations of discipline by officers and soldiers occur on the battlefield, the political and military officers have the right to arrest the personnel involved and take over the command, and the political and military officers alone can organize a wartime court. Responsible to Command.

This is not good news for soldiers and officers. First of all, the underground alcohol market that was only open for a few hours in the barracks disappeared-alcohol was never provided on the base, but the talented ground engineers had already mastered the alcohol from the coolant. The art of extracting the volatile ethanol, especially the Slavs.During the Battle of Orton City, the soldiers of the Defense Force ransacked the shops in the ruins and brought back a large amount of expired tobacco, and the business was booming within a few hours.

Secondly, the internal affairs of the barracks became orderly in an instant. In the hot weather in Sira, the soldiers had to keep their clothes tidy and buckle up their morale buttons. Other running circles and shooting were carried out "hard and strict". training.The military officers accompanied the new political and military officers to introduce the situation and get a feel for the new partners.

But the result was surprising. Except for work, this group of unknown people in black got along very well. After gathering the crowd to speak and announce the discipline, the political and combat officers announced a news that made the soldiers ecstatic. Message - "Soldiers, you will soon be able to get new life supplies - within the specified range, the logistics department will distribute a certain amount of tobacco and alcohol to everyone!"

Thunderous cheers broke out in the base!

...

The words of the political and military officer are not deceitful, but whether it is alcohol or tobacco, the production of large quantities of both cannot be provided by the existing base facilities, and these tasks have been added to the memo of the host.Didn't Li De, who used to be a human being, know the influence of alcohol on discipline?However, there are no unshakable rules for people. Soldiers have been in a high-pressure environment for a long time, and their spirits need to be paralyzed and compensated. Sooner or later, the ban will be broken. This is done within the organization so that the hit to morale is minimized when serious violators are punished.

As a result, during the cheers, most of the soldiers' resistance to the political and military officers was eliminated, and their hands and feet were much more agile in executing orders.A drop shark helicopter took off with a full load of personnel and supplies, and some of them will fly to a homeless camp not far away, where they will build a refugee reception center and train the fighters there according to the order of Brigadier General Wu Wei. According to the plan, the indigenous The soldiers trained by them will be used to supplement the vacancies of the three legions until the defense army reaches its proper size.

And another flight formation will go to the second base that has established a firm foothold.Currently, the soldiers know very little about the information about the second base. They only know that it is in a very complicated social environment.There have been rumors among the soldiers—from this chapter...days, that Second Base will be the main focus of the Brotherhood, and that Base One will be a staging point for everyone, including civilians, to move to The place called "Blue Eye Islands".

In the medical center, Aisha sat on the hospital bed in front of the window, staring blankly at the helicopter troops flying by outside the window.Until now her consciousness is in a trance, she is afraid that all this is just a dream, but when she wakes up from the dream, she finds that nothing has changed.

Liszt, are you on your way back to the camp now?He said that he was going to bring sister Anna back, and he never lied to himself.Uncle Brown and the others are still worried about themselves in the camp, and Sister Anna still doesn't know what happened here... The girl thought, all kinds of things are complicated, but when she thinks of Anna, she thinks of Liszt. Own.

The girl covered her face with her hands, and after a long time, there was a faint sobbing sound from the drooping blond hair.

"Sister Anna, I...what am I doing?"

There are other people who are also worried - Padek and Sophia who came with Wu Wei are allowed a little freedom of movement because of their status.The two of them walked through the dense buildings in the base all the way, dodging the troops rushing past, their faces were full of bewilderment.

After sending away Bud and the others from Team A, Pedek fell into deep thought.What the two saw along the way was shocking enough, and the arrangement of the civilians made it impossible for them to find fault.Similarly, just now, both of them received invitations from the Defense Force Command, hoping that they would formally join the Brotherhood.

"Sophia..." Padek, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but he was severely protested by Sophia as soon as he spoke—"This place is safe, I think you can stay."

"I'm going to the east to see how my brothers are doing."

"What did you say?" Sophia looked incredible, "We have experienced so much together, but now you want to separate? Padek, the leader is still there, and so are the people in the camp. I can't accept you doing this. !"

The silver-haired man pressed down on his lover, and when his eyes met, the man showed a serious apology: "Listen, my dear, you chose to be with me and suffered a lot. If it weren't for the leader, I would have lost it a long time ago." You. Now all I want is for you to be safe, do you understand?"

"It's safe here. The leader and them have cooperation to protect you, but I still have something to do. I heard that the naval commander Milan Trescu is still holding on to the last city of our country. I..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap hit Padek's face, leaving a bright red mark on his face.The quarrel between the two caught the attention of the soldiers on the side of the road, but no one came up to stop the quarrel between the couple.

Sophia pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face—"Stop escaping from reality, Padek! You coward, put away your boring patriotism, I betrayed my motherland and people to follow you , can't you let go of something?"

Then, she pointed her fingers to the surroundings, whether it was the soldiers of the Brotherhood or those powerful armored machines: "You and I saw clearly last night, and Bud also said it, have you forgotten?"

"What they want is the whole world, whether it's your independent republic or my security alliance, one day they will take it into their pocket... That damn pendulum war is over, the orcs are here, the country is still What's the value? You want to save your people, why don't you join them and do something more assured?"

Chapter 110: The Blue-Eyed Islands

Scylla, shown in the data analyzed by the Brotherhood, is a piece of Pangea, that is, a world that did not undergo plate drift and was at an earlier stage of natural evolution.Although it is very unreasonable, the reality shows that such an abnormal structure is very stable, and the biodiversity is not affected. The only disadvantage is the scarcity of fossil energy, which is not conducive to the technological progress of civilization.

All of this is really abnormal, but it looks too normal, as if it has been arranged long ago.On this basis, Li De put forward a hypothesis—that is, the native humans of Sira are all outsiders.These outsiders established a similar civilization here based on the template of the past, but they forgot their origin in a long time, and thought they were the natives of Sira.

So where do they come from?There are two general analyses—one, the colonists of a certain advanced human race descended to settle in Thira by themselves, and for some reason they lost their technology and historical heritage.If this is true, are there other human races remaining beyond the vast galaxy?Spanning such a long time dimension, some of these groups may have advanced to a degree that the Brotherhood cannot understand?

Second, is that a deliberate arrangement by an unknown and powerful existence to place humans on the primitive planet for unknown arrangements?Sira is their experimental field, and they have something to ask for, but everything is hidden in the unknown.If the inference is true, is Li De's behavior an offense to their experiment, or is it a part of their experiment?

Li De believed that he would find the answer. When all this was over, he would turn the planet upside down. No matter what its conclusion was, no matter who led all this, there would be clues left in Scylla.But right now is not the time to think about this. The second stage has already begun. The second base in the Blue Eye Islands has been established for two days, forming a settlement that has begun to take shape.In addition to the first batch of advanced black-handed troops, the second batch of support from the Defense Forces is about to arrive.

A fleet consisting of forty helicopters and a number of Oka fighters and transport planes flew across the sky in arrogance. Unlike the black hands who pay attention to concealment, the Zocom Air Force is very bold and swaggering—whether it is for orcs or certain people. For a human government with ulterior motives.But what was disappointing was that the road was uneventful, and no one tried to challenge it at all. This made the veterans who hadn't had enough fun in the battle of Orton City very unhappy.

They are already thousands of kilometers away from the base, and they are on a piece of blue sea.The navigators have been able to use the naked eye to observe the land appearing on the horizon-broken pearl-like island chains, dense tropical rainforest, and coconut groves on the beach.

The Blue Eyes Islands is one of the few lands in Thira that is far away from the sea. It consists of three large islands and a series of islands and reefs arranged in the shape of an eye socket. The inland sea in the center looks like an eyeball.Although it is an island, the combined land area has reached 1.27 square kilometers, which is enough to form a small country. More importantly, the island has fresh water. The information from the advance troops indicates that there are a large number of building settlements there.

This can't help but make Li De wonder, is it here that the Southern Islands are mentioned in the third part of "Gears of War"?

At this time, the pilot plane sent a full-frequency broadcast: "Attention, we have received the signal from the base tower, and the formation has spread out and is preparing to land."

And there was a commotion in the communication:

"WOW~ Sunshine, beach, I like it, I don't know if there are any beauties in bikinis!"

"No beauty, do you like orcs in bikinis?"

Amid unscrupulous laughter, the fleet lowered the altitude, and the entire island fell completely in front of the guard soldiers.This time the formation brought a whole mechanized company, except for the transport planes, even the helicopters were fully staffed and loaded with cargo.

The Whipshark is a masterpiece of engineering, even more so after it has been modified.Its side-by-side sculls provide this "flying infantry fighting vehicle" with surging power and speed, which is derived from GDI's consistent principle of maximum efficiency. Can hold an entire infantry squad.What Li De did was to upgrade the output power of the engine so that the helicopter could hoist an infantry fighting vehicle after it was loaded with personnel, and corrected the shape of the fuselage and added a pair of canards to hang additional firepower modules.The current Whiphead Shark is almost identical to its cousin in another timeline, although the increased body load is very demanding to operate, but considering that its pilots are all named "Sky", this is not a problem !

With the naked eye unable to find the base of the Brotherhood, the flight formation could only follow the signal and fly into the third largest island in the archipelago in batches.Although it is called an island, there is still a sharp ridge that divides the island into two. Its centripetal point is followed by the inland sea like a half moon, and the back blocked by the ridge is where the base is located.

"This place is very suitable for a safe haven!" After Captain Carter was promoted, his deputy Ivan, a soldier with a Chinese face, replaced the company.This is not surprising, GDI itself was reorganized from the former five major countries of the United Nations, and now it is reorganized into a defense force that also has a different face.Braving the strong air current, the lieutenant boldly leaned out of the cabin, just like his "crazy" nickname——

"I still don't believe it, the orcs dare to dig through the continental shelf and come to the middle of the sea." He said that the lieutenant's accent is always switching between his native language and English habitually, but fortunately his partner is very patient and has a tactical network. With translation function.

"Look at the political commissar, this island is absolutely perfect, half the size of Hainan, and even considering the food problem, it can accommodate at least a million people."

"The leader is wise. The climate here is suitable and the wind and waves are small. Although it is not perfect, it can be transformed into a navy deep-water port and a stable base." The political and military officer next to him pulled him back and gave him The analysis said, "The resources of the ocean are more abundant than the land, and it is also safer. After the construction here is completed, we can move the gathered refugees here. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Cut, what's the matter? The orcs are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs. I know that these natives can't beat them." Ivan swears, and habitually takes out a cigarette from his bag, but finds that the political commissar's eyes have become sharp. up -

"Just kidding, I mind."

He quickly put away his things, and said seriously: "I mean, we have too few people, and we can't manage such a big planet, or we can just fight out. Don't you think so, Comrade Political Commissar?"

"Lieutenant, I understand the traditions of your hometown, but I am not a political commissar in your sense... well, call it whatever you want, but it's okay." The political combat officer paused, and operated on the terminal on his left arm one time.

"We're not dealing with orcs here, but...humans, strictly speaking, a mob."

Chapter 110 Five (Preface) The Future of the Fraternity—Good News and Bad News

Leader, for this title, ordinary people may just call it this after the Great Reuben, after all, any group must have a leader to organize the power of everyone.The name is just a concept. Some people are in awe of authority, envious of the high position, and respect its unshakable authority. Some people are cynical, ridiculing Li Defei's human nature, mocking his poor imitation of historical dictators, and eager to establish their own. empire.

Li De knew all this, but he didn't care.Humans are changeable and contradictory, genetically determined to be rebellious.He doesn't need everyone to understand his vision, as long as they do their own thing well and don't hinder him, Li De will not take extreme measures.

Others can't understand, the scenery standing on the top is unspeakably cold, and one step back is the abyss.But only at this height, people can see the farther direction - where there are opportunities and more dangers.

It's the leader's job to prepare for these coming events, but not even Li De, a quantum computer, can measure all the values ​​of Chaos—a crisis is about to befall the Brotherhood, and he has foreseen the coming of darkness .In that cold world, everyone left him, and he was the only one left watching the endless sky.

"Leader, the meeting is only a few hours away, why did you call us all here again?"

Olivia was sitting in front of the conference table, and General Wu Wei arrived at the same time as her. Both of them seemed to be in low spirits, and they were suspicious. After all, this is not the style of a leader.As for Ensig—he was always in the meeting room, after all, the mechanical prosthesis only needed to transmit signals, and the Chief Technology Officer of the Brotherhood was everywhere, which was for the sake of high efficiency in his mind.

Li De has taken back his temporary carrier and used it as a material for the Humanoid Legion.Now, standing in front of the three core elders of the Brotherhood, he is a holographic image projected from the ceiling, half true and half false, blue light intertwined with blurred figures.

"This is something that can't be helped, General. It is a matter of great importance, and it is also a hurdle for all of us." Li De sighed, making people even more unpredictable.But fortunately, he didn't pretend to be deep for too long, and quickly blurted out a sentence——

"No way, no one will read the announcement at all! I can only pretend to be the text to deceive people to come in and read it. I can't help it. After all, the Lord of Destiny has come to the door. If we can't solve the problem this time, we All of them have to be played!"

Olivia thought faster than anyone else. Before Ensige and Wu Wei had figured out the situation and who the "Master of Destiny" was, she blurted out:

"Could it be... the editor found it?"

Li De nodded.

"Is it... going to be put on the shelves?"

Olivia's voice trembled a little, except for the cute Ensige who still didn't understand, even Wu Wei couldn't be indifferent.He pressed his hands on the table so hard that the table groaned in pain.He asked Li De suspiciously: "The horn... the leader, didn't you say it was okay to put it on the shelves?"

"Fate has made her plans... February 28th is a dark day for the Brotherhood."

There was an eerie silence in the conference room.

---(For the horn, please be sure to read the content under the dividing line) ---

That's right, this is an announcement disguised as the main text, because no one will read the notice roll, so I had to make a bad move (cover my face) to tell everyone this bad news and a good news that is not good news.

To be honest, I don't know how my score was called out by the editor, maybe it's because of the word count.But when things come to an end, no matter how generous the editor is, I can only delay it until the 28th, that is, starting in March, when the book will be on the shelves.

My heart is bleeding, and I know the result of my slow-paced writing.The horn is a social person, not a student, who has a job and income, and does not rely on writing books for a living. I hope that someone will come to see it, not how much money I earn.But after communicating with the editor, I can’t disobey the system. If I want to blame it, I shouldn’t sign the contract. It’s my first time writing a book and I don’t have much experience. I dug a hole for myself and jumped into it.

The bad news is this, and there may be no worse news, worse than my eunuch.Because I gave up the eunuch myself, putting it on the shelf is equivalent to forcing readers to give up.I don't know what other people feel when they put it on the shelf. I am the same as described in the first half of the paragraph, and the reaction of the group friends is also the same.

But this is the end of the matter, let's announce the news that is not good news——

Starting from the 21st, that is, tomorrow, I will resume double updates or even more, not for compensation, but as I said, I will install my personal computer tomorrow, and I will not work overtime at work, so I have time to update.This is the promise made years ago, but fate always likes to make fun of others, and played a funny but not funny comedy. The horn is really sorry.

There is another news that needs to be announced to everyone, that is, for this book, I have made up my mind to branch and mainline.

The main line continues the current route, and adheres to a serious and realistic style to treat the future world.The journey of the Brotherhood is the sea of ​​stars, but you don’t have to guess what the next world is. It’s a world that tells the story of the protagonist wearing a battle suit and fighting through heavy siege. It’s very clear, right? O(∩_ ∩)O~~

I have designed a world view for this book, and I will not follow the crowd easily, so please rest assured.

Branch line (external story) - this is the focus of my consideration.If fees are unavoidable for the main line, which is too harsh for the student party, then it is necessary to introduce the branch line.The main line goes to a world that conforms to certain logical standards. If there is no water mixed in, the branch line is equivalent to a parallel space. You don’t have to follow the rigid logic. Anime and games can be considered, which is more open.Although the update may not be able to keep up with the mainline, it will bypass the Shuke Firewall by posting 999 characters, increasing the room for plot changes.

Don't worry about the quality of the branch line. I am obsessive-compulsive, and I have to modify my vocabulary when I write a diary, and I don't write indiscriminately.The branch line is still seriously researched and has its own plot. Readers who read the VIP chapter after March should not cancel it immediately o(╯□╰)o

As for the first story of the branch line, I thought about it too long, but I, a salty fish at level [-], don't understand the plot.

So far, the horn thanks everyone for their understanding and support.This is my first book. In my conception, it is not the most wonderful subject in the past, it is not in the present, and it will not be in the future, but it is of great significance and irreplaceable.As long as there is a barrage and a collection to prove that there are still people watching, I will never be a eunuch.

With tears in front of the table, I don't know what to say, and the lingering sound of the horn worships me.

True Chapter 110 Hammer of Dawn

The Brotherhood's base is hidden in the woodland on the back of the ridge. Like the main base, an invisible tower stands in the center of the base to provide a wide range of invisible support.The host once analyzed that the biggest threat the Brotherhood faced in Sira was not the orcs, but outside the sky. The "Hammer of Dawn" orbital defense system, which symbolized the world's most cutting-edge technology, hung in an orbit [-] kilometers away. Possible ground attack.Moving troops cannot be targeted, and structures sitting on the surface are at risk.

To be honest, it is not that the Brotherhood has not faced this situation, but everyone thinks it is a younger brother compared to GDI's ion cannon, but this feeling of being inferior to others makes the Brotherhood members very unhappy, at least the Chief Technician Guan Ensige sneered at the Hammer of Dawn.He has applied for the use of ballistic missiles more than once to destroy the trump card of the security government, at least on the list of plans.However, Li De rejected this crude plan. If it is a ready-made weapon that can be mastered by the Brotherhood, it can make up for the gap in the Brotherhood's strategic strikes before the space technology platform is established.

In the waters off the Blue Eye Islands, a heavy barge towed a steel offshore platform slowly towards the open sea—this was not a warship, nor was it painted with any organization logo.The boat was a local ship that the Brotherhood had picked up and restored off the coast, and the platform was a makeshift steel frame with a control center, power generation facilities, and a tall radio tower.
