The gentle voice of Mr. Nutshell Company's president came from the other end of the phone. Xu Le listened quietly, answering few words but as always, without any hesitation.
He was pardoned from Qingcheng Military Prison, and signed a lot of complicated legal documents in front of Admiral Miles in the presidential residence. From that moment on, his life and the federal army could no longer be torn apart. As a soldier, he should Unconditional obedience to orders.
After a short vacation, the Ministry of Defense arranged a new mission. He will go to a secret base near the Gary Corridor with a certain unit of the New Seventeenth Division to be responsible for security work.
The secret base was built by Nutshell Metal, which bears the important significance of the future strategy of the Federation. The defense work is very important. The New Seventeenth Division has inherited the halo of the military god, and also carries a strong atmosphere of the seven groups of Nutshell. The Ministry of Defense and the Nutshell Company simultaneously It's natural to choose their team.
This was originally an ordinary call, and it only needed to be ordered by the Ministry of National Defense or the First Military Region. However, it was probably because of Xu Le's existence, Mr. Guoke personally made a phone call to explain and asked for his opinion.
"As long as the division commander has no opinion, I have no opinion. It is more appropriate for the department to contact Herre directly for the relevant itinerary and equipment preparation. After all, he is the head of the regiment."
"Okay, Mr. President, I'm looking forward to the dinner you promised next time."
Xu Le hung up the phone. In the clear blue sky above the base, the shadow of the battleship could not be found for a long time. This is not 5460, and it is impossible to see the ancient bell far outside the atmosphere. After watching it quietly for a while, he picked up the little watermelon again. The soft palms walked towards the outside of the base.
He left in a hurry because he didn't want to spend too much time with the Colonel Lake of the Xilin Military Region, because although the Colonel was wearing sunglasses, he was still impressed by this person, and he didn't wear sunglasses today, so he was very worried about being attacked by the other party. recognized.
In a sense, Colonel Lake, who performed the Charter Bureau mission on Donglin Bell Tower Street a few years ago, changed Xu Le's life. The rude special soldier, the cold barrel and the angry fist are all in Xu Le's memory. A part that is not very pleasant on a very deep level.
According to the old thing, Xu Le has the authority of the first sequence, he no longer needs to worry about being proven that he was a federal fugitive, but in any case, he does not want to be recognized by this Colonel Lake.
But he didn't know that Colonel Lake had begun to pay attention to him after the assassination in the Westwood Sunset State.
Not including today, not including this time.
Colonel Lake, wearing sunglasses, was standing in Xiao Xiaofeng at this time, maintaining a solemn posture, looking up at the sky, and seemed to be watching the officer he admired the most in his life. His facial expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't notice it at all. Xu Le left.
In the spring of the 70th year of the constitutional calendar, April 15th.
Xilin Tiger and his wife left S1 and embarked on the journey back to Xilin's hometown in the spaceship Gu Zhong, escorted by four Light Feather-class battleships.
At 3:12 p.m. that day, Xu Le handed the small watermelon to Tian Dabang, and then rushed back to the Capital Special Administrative Region to prepare for the upcoming task.
Almost at the same time, the ghost fleet consisting of fifty-seven light warships quietly sailed through the barren and vast star field in the borderland of the empire and arrived at a place of emptiness.
This place is far away from the galaxy. In the dead and dark space within 18 light-years around, except for the micro-flow traces of the fleet engine and the interstellar dust that has been floating lonely for tens of billions of years, there are no large celestial bodies that can be found by the naked eye. The whole background is So empty and quiet.
No one could have imagined that this is the entrance to a certain gate in the universe. After passing through this gate, one can see the world at the other end of the distant star field.
In the spring of the 70th year of the constitutional calendar, April 19th.
Xu Le, who was going to set off on the battleship the next day, after thinking for a long time, called Shang Qiu. Shang Qiu said on the phone that he was very busy, so he did not meet. Then he finally called Nam Sang-mi, and the two of them made an appointment to have a meal. At night, he looked at Zhang Xiaomeng's number that had been kept on the phone and shook his head, but he didn't call Jian Shui'er in the end.
At 3:37 in the morning, the Ministry of Defense and the Nutshell Company sent the specific information of the mission to his military top-secret mailbox, along with an additional clause. He provided more detailed information.
In the data screen, the secret base located in the extraterrestrial domain of the Gary Corridor is extremely magnificent, like a huge metal asteroid, suspended indifferently in the eternal black space.
After this base is completed, it will become the base camp for the Federation troops to attack the mainland of the Empire and the most important strategic transfer base for the Federation.
The Nutshell Company is the largest giant enterprise in the Federation. Thirty years ago, it received an order from the federal government to build a transfer base. With the terrifying production and manufacturing capabilities of the Nutshell Company, it still takes a long time to fully invest in this base. Completed, you can imagine the grandeur of this space base.
In fact, at least 60 percent of the secret military budget reviewed by the Federal Parliament behind closed doors every year is put into this space base, so that the government's budget deficit has increased sharply over the years. It is conceivable that the federal government, Especially the Pabble government, which has been accelerating this plan since taking office, has invested much effort and bet on it.
The mission of Xu Le and the New Seventeenth Division was to ensure the safety of this important base. Although the Empire has reduced the number of suicidal special mecha crossing attempts in the past two years, the Gary Corridor and the vicinity of the Night Scorpion Nebula are peaceful. For a long time, according to the importance of this base, no matter how careful it was, it was necessary.
In addition to guarding the base, there is also an additional clause from the Charter Bureau. The new 17th Division and 1st Regiment will spend seven months in space network deployment and channel data intrusion to prepare for the full-scale war that will start in the next year and the next year. Provide technical support for federal troops to collectively travel through space channels in the future.
Keeping the information in his head, Xu Le rinsed his mouth and washed his face, glanced at the street view below Wangdu's apartment, and went to bed. Before going to bed, I remembered the little watermelon, so I called her, coaxed the little girl whose parents were not around on the phone, and fell asleep peacefully and happily.
At this time, the Ancient Bell was continuing its voyage stably and steadily at a secondary cruising speed, bypassing the military restricted area ahead, and advancing along the passage beside the Night Scorpion Nebula.
At this time, except for a very small number of people in the two sides of the universe, no one knew that the Imperial Ghost Fleet, led by the butcher Caton, was in the dark passage that seemed to be endless and filled with particle turbulence and storms. moving forward with difficulty.
The overhanging reflective baffles on the hull of the imperial battleship collided and rubbed against those particle streams that human imagination could not describe as magnificent.
In the late spring of the 70th year of the Federal Constitutional Calendar, April 27th.
The ancient bell is still sailing smoothly. The spacecraft converted from warships ignores the disturbance of cosmic rays at all. The electronic monitoring system, according to the program, conducts 360-degree surveying at a certain frequency range without any omission. The light music inside the hull and The mellow coffee aroma is blended together, and people who travel in space still feel that life is monotonous and boring, and it is too lack of stimulation.
In the distance ahead, in the space at the edge of the Evening Scorpion Nebula, there was a mutation at this time.
A wave of dim light suddenly swayed in the calm space. These waves of light appeared for a very short time and disappeared in an instant, like a hard metal film that was tapped by a baby's delicate fingers.
A pure black metal animal horn quietly penetrated the membrane and came to this universe. Then, the object behind the metal animal horn also penetrated, and a battleship gradually appeared. looks like.
The second, the third... Dozens of imperial battleships, like ghosts, penetrated the membrane of space without any actual existence in turn, and appeared in the universe of the Federation in a dark and icy coldness, with a cold and indifferent aura. spread in space.
These imperial battleships that forcibly passed through the space channel trembled silently and violently because of the strong space pressure, as if they had finally arrived in the federation's universe and smelled the enemy's breath, and they were so excited and nervous that they couldn't help themselves.
In the inner space of the imperial battleship group, there were countless excited screams and exclamations, the porthole baffle did not fall, and the soldiers of the empire looked at the space scene outside the battleship through the light curtain, and really felt it. It is a great feeling that some history is happening, and it is moving to discover that this strange universe belonging to the federal people is as beautiful as the hometown.
Different from the shock and speechlessness of ordinary soldiers, the non-commissioned officers of the Imperial Ghost Fleet, in the stern reprimands of their superiors, forcibly suppressed their inner excitement and threw themselves into work nervously. It would be another tough job, if not discovered by the brilliance of the federal charter.
In the past, the empire could only transmit low-quality objects, such as the miniature spaceships that took the mecha warriors. These miniature spaceships have a great possibility of being destroyed in the space channel, but once they pass successfully, they will escape the charter radiance monitoring in the vast space. The possibility is also relatively high. Now that the empire has finally created history and sent an entire medium-sized fleet over, the spatial fluctuations caused are also very easy to be detected by the charter brilliance.
"Only 37 seconds! 35! 34!"
King Caton sat on the podium with a violent face, staring coldly at the running trajectories of all the battleships and the opening of the information shielding system, with an unprecedented serious expression. Countdown.
"14! 13!... SUCCESS!"
The staff officer turned his head and looked at the excited and loud report of the King of Caton County.
King Caton's expression did not change, but his whole body relaxed, a cruel look flashed on his face, and he silently said to himself in his heart: "Federal, moan in pain, Delin. The prince will be immortal, but for this hatred, you must pay the price."
Relying on the chips and related materials sent back to the Empire by Medellin, and relying on the intelligence of the last seed hidden in the Federation by the Empire, when the Empire formulated this hunting plan, the Federal Charter Bureau had a low density of nets in the outer space of the passage. The most accurate calculation was carried out. In a very short period of time, dozens of light warships, all engines were fully opened, forcibly reversed their navigation trajectories, and dangerously entered the dark gap in the only light. .
The cosmic background is dark and dark, and the ghostly imperial fleet forms a long and narrow line in the federal universe, twisting forward like a poisonous snake, avoiding the dangers that cannot be seen, and preparing to give the target that will pass the most vicious one. The most sudden attack.
