"How come it's John... where is Mr. Lu that I asked you to find?" Speaker Yang Hou asked a little unhappy when he saw his secretary bringing in the bar owner John instead of Lu Yuan. Now that the situation is urgent, he went to Lu Yuan, hoping that this arms tycoon could provide some help - usually such people always hide a lot of trump cards in order to take advantage of both black and white, especially private force!
Yang Hou knew that there were many mercenaries coming in and out of Lu Yuan's villa. These people were completely ready to fight.
"Lu Yuan left. Just two hours ago, he took his men and drove seven tanks." John said with some embarrassment. Although everyone is still friends, and John is also one of the small shareholders of the arsenal... But here, Yang Hou's identity is the speaker, which makes him, a guy who lives among the people, feel uncomfortable. "Lu Yuan asked me to hand over this... He said that if the colony is attacked, he will give this chip to you... I think it is now!"
John said awkwardly, holding a chip in his palm.
"What is this..." Yang Hou pondered for a moment, then reached out to take the first chip and swiped it on the multi-purpose tool. He noticed that John was holding an extra chip in his other hand. But he didn't care, because the content of the chip that Lu Yuan left for him had been displayed, with only one line of text——
"If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish in peace!"
After Yang Hou finished reading this sentence, he couldn't help but sigh loudly. "What a wise saying!" Yang Hou said helplessly. What Lu Yuan meant by this sentence. He's got it all. This is because he has been suppressing the colonial arms budget, and in order to provoke the opposition to veto the procurement proposal, he did not hesitate to secretly misrepresent Lu Yuan's original intention. To smear his reputation... This sentence can be regarded as a kind of farewell without words...
Although this sentence is useless now, Yang Hou is a person who can examine himself three times every day. His ambition is to become a great statesman rather than a politician. So he still whispered, "I remember!"
At this time, the door was pushed open again, revealing a somewhat disheveled middle-aged colonel officer. He strode in.
After saluting, he said directly, "Speaker Yang. First time we meet, I am Mike Harovich, the new commander of the garrison!
I have assigned garrisons to key locations and built fortifications. However, judging from the intelligence collected so far, the situation is not optimistic. Every direction of the city. There are a large number of reports of attacks, and Eden's external communications are completely interrupted. I have reason to believe that this is the prelude to a large-scale invasion by aliens!
Therefore, I ask that you hand over the defense command of the colony to me and open up the core authority of the defense system. Then I need the local government to immediately issue an attack alert and make every effort to organize residents to relocate! Before we figure out the problem, it's best for civilians to enter bunkers and hide as soon as possible... Militias are likely to be organized next. I hope you can provide the local armed situation. "
"You are a professional, and I agree with your opinion!" Seeing that the colonel named Mike Harovich was still there. Yang Hou breathed a huge sigh of relief! He readily agreed to the colonel's request, which sounded a bit rude.
Because Yang Hou had his own information channels, he knew that this Mike Harovich was no ordinary colonel. His ability was far stronger than that of the one currently in charge of the garrison. He has long been qualified to wear the rank of general! Being able to be sent to an inconspicuous place like Eden as a garrison commander was just because he made a small mistake and was sent here to calm down for two days by the superior officer...
It is said that the colonel has been traveling around since he came to the colony. He did not go to the garrison to take up his post at all, and his superiors also pretended not to see him. Now we have an emergency. I'm afraid he rushed here from his residence...but that's why he was able to sort things out in such a short time. Yang Hou also dared to hand over the defense of the colony to him!
Mike Harovich...yes, he is the commander of the 63rd Reconnaissance Detachment of the Fifth Fleet, Annie's cheap dad! He was suspended once last time for "participating in disrupting military exercises"! This time, she had another quarrel with Admiral Hackett because she disagreed with Anne's permission to board the "Normandy". In anger, the old man temporarily sent him to the Planet Eden to play in the mud. Unexpectedly, he ran into the invasion of Saren!
*****
Pushing open the basement door, turning on the electric switch... With the sound of "Didi" starting up, the computer equipment filling the thousands of square meters of computer room lit up like stars.
Mike Harovich couldn't help but rub his eyes, pushed Yang Hou and John away forcefully, and walked to the console of the entire computer room. He looked at the systems listed in front of him with some admiration, and couldn't help but say, "You...how do you have such a thing! Do you want to be independent?...But...damn it! What are these equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars?" No real maintenance!? Have you just turned off the power and left it in the basement?!"
"Ahem~" Yang Hou coughed and turned his head, not knowing how to answer. "Roughly the same……"
Because Lu Yuan had worked hard to save these, he also knew that the equipment in this basement was rare and probably exceeded the level of most colonies. However, Yang Hou always thought that it was just Lu Yuan's way of making money, so he never cared much about it, and was even quite resistant to it! So I rarely come here...and never get to know it in depth.
And in order to save management costs, it is shut down for at least eleven and a half months out of twelve months a year.
"Stratospheric probe... With this kind of equipment, we will not be blind, which can give us a strategic advantage." Mike Harovich said happily. After he made a slight adjustment and pressed the button, twelve stealth detectors were launched into the sky, then circled the planet and flew rapidly in the stratosphere! 300 seconds later, the global real-time reconnaissance images were clearly fed back to the three people...
Artificial satellites are expressly prohibited by the Citadel Council because of their short operating cycles and the generation of space debris. It will be replaced by a permanent geosynchronous orbiting space station. But this stratospheric detector is different. It is a temporary, near-Earth, fast detector that will automatically burn up in the atmosphere after 72 hours - expensive to build, but very practical.
The most accurate information detected by the detector was sent back to the colony command center. Looking at the unfolding army of one million Ges, the three of them took a breath of air.
"So many!... No! We must organize a civilian retreat immediately! Escape as many as you can!" Yang Hou said with a trembling voice. Although he didn't know what those walking robots were, he was frightened by the sheer number. Living! There are only 200 local troops and about 1,400 police officers. How can these people fight against a million-strong army? !
"Wait!" Mike Harovich called to the Speaker. He looked at the items scrolling on the screen in front of him, looking more and more surprised! "Actually...you never know what's here...right?"
Yang Hou nodded awkwardly. John stood behind and felt that this scene was really funny.
"75 Type III laser turrets, their distribution... is quite interesting!" With the control of Mike Harovich, a group of red dots appeared in the core of Constant City. After being connected to each other, they formed a regular pattern. Hexagon.
On various commanding heights in the city, forts suddenly rose up - they opened their domes, stretched out their twin barrels, and pointed half-tilt towards the sky...
"Every firing line crosses. Does he think this is a medieval fortress? Ah...and this, 450 large-caliber howitzers! The firing line includes the entire urban area?! What do the people who arranged these want to do!?"
Constante is a vast land with sparsely populated areas. Lu Yuan once purchased large tracts of land randomly around the city and built numerous solar power stations. Now those solar panels suddenly separated from the middle, revealing thick muzzles - those weird solar panel supports, no matter how you look at it at the moment... they all have a strong air of cold air!
Colonel Mike Harovich was completely immersed in a state of fanaticism, and his eyes were about to shine. "And there are missile silos?! Although there are only eight, the range covers one-third of the planet... Okay!" Colonel Mike Harovich put down After reading the information in his hand, "Looking at the fact that you guys are strong enough to fight a comprehensive defensive war, I think we can win this time!"
"If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish in peace!" At this moment, Speaker Yang Hou once again repeated the words Lu Yuan left for him, and he felt filled with emotion.
"Haha, there is such a thing? I remember this kind of weapon. The military just planned to deploy it, right? Try it out!" Colonel Mike Harovich was completely immersed in the joy of the big toy, and he found it again. Good stuff!
He carefully set the weapon parameters, and then pointed the target at the area with the highest concentration of Geths - the landing site!
****
On the hills about three kilometers away from the landing site, Lu Yuan and h7n9 were lurking in the grass, observing the front with binoculars. There are too many geth at the landing site. If you go a little further, you will definitely be discovered.
Therefore, Lu Yuan chose to hide here and wait for the "Overlord" Reaper warship to land before taking action.
Just when he was feeling bored, "Beep——" a beep sounded on his multi-purpose tool.
"Ah, someone discovered those toys! Great..." Lu Yuan nodded happily and whispered, so that the colony's defense would be no problem. "He found the laser tower? He must be shocked by my bastion design now! Haha!... He also found the howitzer? It's not easy. ... Huh? The missiles are also being initialized. Are they actually professionals?!"
Lu Yuan said in shock, but then, when the next beep sounded, Lao Lu's face suddenly turned pale!
"Holy shit! How did he find this!?" Not caring about being discovered by the Geth, Lu Yuan picked up h7n9 and said two words, "Run!!!"
