When the staff came over, Nathan was hesitating whether to take the initiative to contact Wan Luo Battle Emperor.
Although he is the commander of the fleet, in front of the Wanluo Battle Emperor, he is at most a high-level general, and even a general who is reused can never make a mistake.
Wan Luo's command was very clear. After reaching the latent area, the fleet remained silent, and no matter what happened, it was not allowed to actively contact the rear. Only by receiving new orders can we break the silence and act according to the orders. Before that, Nathan just accepted the order and didn't take the initiative to contact Wanluo Battle Emperor. In fact, Nathan didn't know where and what the Emperor Wan Luo was doing now.
"what is this?"
"Just received, it has been confirmed that it came from Carlson's communication equipment. Although the specific location has not been determined, it must come from the Slag Star."
Nathan frowned and looked again before returning the portable optical brain to the staff.
"Commander..."
"Since he is still alive and has made new discoveries, let him act on his own." Nathan exhaled, thought for a moment, and said, "Send two more corps over and remove the engineering troops of the other corps. Bring them all over and appoint a new engineering commander. Before Carlson returns, the newly appointed commander will be responsible for the construction work. The progress remains the same, and the construction still has to be completed within the stipulated time."
"This… "
"Why, there is no suitable candidate?"
"No, it's not."
"Is that not enough engineering troops?"
"Neither."
"what is that?"
The staff hesitated for a while, and then said: "Carlson mentioned in the report that there is a huge network of tunnels under the Weeping Plain, the structure is extremely complicated, and he has only explored a small area so far."
"What's the impact?" Nathan came from a combat force and didn't know much about engineering.
"These tunnels make the geological structure of the Weeping Plain extremely complex and unstable. The previous earthquake was caused by the collapse of a main tunnel." The staff sighed secretly, and said, "The Weeping Plain was originally a main mine for the purpose of mining the crust. The mines below, the miners at the time made a large, scrapped transport spacecraft hit the slag star, and the Weeping Plain was the direct result of this collision. After that, it took about a hundred years to mine all the mines below. Those The tunnel was formed during this period and it has been thousands of years. Although it has not completely collapsed, the pressure generated after our army arrived, especially after the construction of the barracks, will definitely change the geological structure and cause serious geological disasters. According to Carlson, the Weeping Plains is not an ideal place to build a military camp. Even if there is no other choice, the size of the military camp must be reduced and the number of troops stationed must be reduced."
"There is no other way?"
The staff shook his head and said nothing.
"What else did he say?"
"He is still exploring the underground tunnel, but there is no other discovery for the time being."
"Can you reach him?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Why?" Nathan looked at the staff in confusion.
"His communication equipment was damaged in the earthquake. Although he was able to send information, he was temporarily unable to receive information. He also mentioned that the problem will be solved as soon as possible, but he doesn't know when it can be fixed. After all, he is not a technician in this area. There is no proper tool either."
Nathan was taken aback for a moment, his expression also gloomy.
To put it bluntly, the situation reported by Carlson is not detailed enough, and many issues have not been clarified. For example, he proposed to reduce the number of legions stationed in the Weeping Plains, but did not mention how much it should be reduced. Also, he said that it is best to choose another place to build the barracks, but he didn't mention where it was suitable.
Obviously, these questions must be asked clearly by him.
It's just that I can't contact him at all now, so I can't ask him clearly.
"We can keep sending inquiries, and when he repairs the communication equipment, we can receive it and report the situation in time."
When the staff officer said so, Nathan's brows twitched a few times.
"Of course, we have been waiting for a few hours, and it is not a problem to wait a while."
"Just follow what you said, but," Nathan hesitated a little before saying, "Tell him that the plan to build the barracks remains unchanged. The Emperor has not issued new orders. The large troops will arrive on time, so he must be as soon as possible. Return, continue to organize and be responsible for the construction of the barracks. No matter what problems you encounter, report directly to me. As for the problems he mentioned, I will consider it, but I will not make adjustments for the time being."
"He can't receive our signal right now."
"He has repaired the communication equipment and will not be able to return in time after receiving this order."
The staff officer nodded and said nothing more.
Nexen also waved his hand, indicating that there was no other order.
When the staff officer walked away, Nexen sighed.
In fact, he knew very well that all of the problems Carlsen mentioned existed and were very serious, except that he had no right to change the order issued by the King Wanluo himself.
So, do you want to ask the King Wanluo for instructions
Nathan hesitated very much, because this violated the will of Wan Luo Battle Emperor, even if it was excusable, I am afraid he would not be forgiven by Wan Luo Battle Emperor.
In fact, it is exactly the case that Nexen decided to proceed according to the plan.
Of course, the key is to get Carlson back in time.
Although the engineering commanders of other corps have been arranged to be responsible for the construction of the barracks, no one is more familiar with the situation there than Carlson. Not only the military camp that has begun to take shape, it also includes the geological structure of the Weeping Plain. Therefore, how the military camp should be built, how large it can be, and how long it will take to complete it, and those aspects of support are needed to complete it on time.
It can be said that Carlson is the only one who can complete the barracks on time.
That's why Nathan gave such an order to the staff.
Find Carlson in time and let him return to the barracks in time. As for other matters, it is not too late to make a decision after he returns to the barracks and reports on the specific situation.
In any case, it is not impossible to send all the engineering units of the ten legions and provide some necessary equipment to complete the work within the specified time. At least in the view of Nathan, as long as Carlson has the first-hand situation, there is hope that the project will be completed on time.
After thinking about it carefully, Nathan also calmed down and decided to obey the orders of the Wanluo Battle Emperor.
However, before he was relieved, the staff hurried over.
This time, the staff sent not Carlson's news, but an order from Wan Luo Battle Emperor.
After reading the order, Nathan's brows were locked together.
"commander?"
"that's it?"
The staff officer nodded, looking very embarrassed.
Nathan exhaled and said, "Execute, there is nothing to discuss."
"But… "
"Why, do you dare to question your majesty's decision?"
The staff member gritted his teeth, did not dare to say anything, turned and walked away.
In fact, Nexen was not a happy one in his heart.
This order is for him to dispatch all the large warships in the fleet and half of the warships in the forward fleet to the designated location, and it must be executed immediately.
That's it, nothing else.
If this order came from a few hours ago, Nathan would definitely contact Wan Luo Battle Emperor to ask Wan Luo Battle Emperor's intentions. Only now, patience felt that there was no need for this, because at the beginning, he made a judgment, or a guess, and he could think of the purpose of the Wanluo Battle Emperor's arrangement.
Obviously, the decisive battle with the fleet that took place in the Gorn Galaxy was related to the Star Weavers Corps that was marching to the North Fourth District.
This order is equivalent to proving Nathan's guess.
You know, the fleet commanded by Nathan has 80% of the standing battleships of the Lei Ling clan, and almost all standing battleships are here. More importantly, the Slag Star is not far from the Gorn Galaxy, and Nathan must be the closest support force, and the only strategic force that can arrive in time and launch an attack. If the Emperor Wanluo intends to attack the Queen of Souls, Nathan's fleet is an amazing weapon.
In fact, the deployment made by Wanluo Battle Emperor before was to sneak attack on the Star Weaver Clan fleet.
The purpose is also very simple, not to let the Star Weavers become the first civilization to participate in the war in the North Fourth District, and to ensure the dominance of the Lei Ling Clan in the Galactic Alliance.
But is it really necessary
Thinking of the upcoming war with the Star Weavers, Nathan felt very uncomfortable.
It's not that he has any good feelings for the Star Weavers, but as a soldier, he has always believed that only the Silicon Charm Alliance on the opposite side of the Meteorite Belt is the real enemy. Even if there is a contradiction with the Star Weaver Clan, it is also an internal contradiction in the Galactic Alliance, and there is no need to fight each other. In addition, in the past thousands of years, the Lei Ling and the Star Weavers have lived in peace, sharing the benefits of dominating the Galactic Alliance.
Is it just for the dominance to turn against allies
Maybe Wanluo Battle Emperor had another purpose.
Although it was very uncomfortable, as a soldier, he was still a high-ranking general who was highly regarded by the Emperor Wanluo, and Nathan did not have the courage to confront the Emperor Wanluo.
In addition, Nexen also realized that this is just the beginning.
The Emperor Wanluo transferred most of the warships, but did not allow Nathan to take the fleet to participate in the war, nor did he order the suspension of the construction of the barracks, nor did he even mention that the large troops would not be stationed here. In other words, the previous order is still valid, and the large force of the Lei Ling clan, that is, one hundred legions will arrive on time.
Obviously, this one hundred legions has extremely significant value.
Simply put, if the Lei Ling fleet commanded by the King Wanluo wins the battle, then the 100 legions that reach the Slag Star will go to the North Fourth District and become the first reinforcements to arrive, and control the human federation, and then use The human federation controls the course of this war. If it is the Star Weaver Fleet commanded by the Star Soul Queen, the hundred legions will stay on the Slag Star and use this as a base to build a line of defense to block all channels from the central region to the northern region. Prevent the Star Weavers from continuing to send troops to the northern region. Of course, after the situation deteriorates, the one hundred legions stationed here can also play a role in stabilizing and controlling the area.
Obviously, Wanluo Battle Emperor's plan is very full, and a fierce battle is inevitable!
