Old Jack looked out the window with a lonely and tired expression. He was now lying on a hospital bed in the Osiris medical area. The Osiris has arrived at the Moore Chamber of Commerce's commercial space airport outside Chihuahua City. Because the Moore Chamber of Commerce has signed treaties with various forces, his airport is equivalent to a neutral area. However, the number of people who maintain the operation of this commercial port is pitiful, and the defensive facilities are even more vulnerable. No one is sure whether the RC or HER troops will attack here to destroy the Osiris.
In addition to Old Jack, there were also wounded in the fighter formation in the ward. Because there were many members in the fighter formation, and the people who came to visit the wounded, it seemed very lively. Only Old Jack, the captain of the humanoid weapons team B, was alone. His team was ambushed by RC today. Three of the five team members died in the battle, and one person is still being rescued. He was the only one who was lucky and only had minor injuries to his legs.
He was dragged back to the ship by force. When he learned that three of the team members were dead and one was injured, Old Jack, a big man who was absent from the scene, cried. He lost his mind and dragged his injured leg to crawl to check on his dead teammates. He has experienced life and death since the war started, but almost all his team members have been wiped out. He feels that he has the greatest responsibility as the captain.
Bart, Miao Haosi, Li Si and other members of Team A came to visit him. Seeing Old Jack's lonely appearance, the old men didn't know what to say to comfort him. Lao Jie Kang forced himself to greet them proactively, but his voice was obviously hoarse and tired.
"How is Red Wolf? Is he out of danger?" Old Jack asked. Red Wolf is another surviving member of Team B and is being rescued. And "Red Wolf" is not a nickname, but his real name, because he is an Indian, and most Indians have unclear names.
"The rescue is over, but he is still unconscious, so he is not out of danger."
Old Jack sighed, and Bart sat over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too sad. Captain Shepard asked me to take the message. The entire responsibility for today's casualties lies with him."
Old Jack shook his head: "You can't blame the captain. I didn't notice the trap."
Miao Haosi: "The terrain of Copper Valley is too complicated. We are new here, so there is nothing we can do about it. Old Jack, don't blame yourself."
Everyone agreed, saying anything to comfort Lao Jie. Old Jack turned his face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned his head and asked: "Where is the captured prisoner? I heard he is the commander of this battle?"
Bart nodded: "Well, he is not only a commander, he is also one of the major warlords in RC! The boss is interrogating him. This battle is all thanks to the boss! We were almost unable to withstand it. Who knew the boss was He actually knocked down the enemy commander! By coincidence, the downed machine body fell onto the deck of the Osiris. If not for this, the outcome of today's battle would have been difficult."
Old Jack: "The great warlord of RC...will he finally let this grandson go back without any trouble?"
"We won't let him go easily. At least now he is a suitable hostage. With him under his command, we dare not act rashly. The reason why he attacked us is being interrogated by Boss."
"That's good...by capturing such a valuable prisoner, those who died in this battle will not have died in vain."
Bart patted Lao Jie on the shoulder again: "Have a good rest these days. When you recover from your injury, you will be responsible for reorganizing Team B. New members will be selected from the fighter formation."
"Don't worry, I won't be depressed because of this. I will also take Muhammad and his ashes back to Mycenae, so that they can go home as heroes in a legitimate and legitimate manner!"
Hearing what Old Jack said, everyone present felt emotional.
Yes, we are all Mycenaeans, who doesn’t want to go home? Their hometown surrendered to HER. Unwilling to help HER, they chose to stay away from the universe and fight against HER on earth. They are all "traitors" in their distant hometown. They don't know what kind of situation their families are living in. Everyone has persisted until now under such mental pressure.
"In one month, when the Osiris completes its modification and leaves the earth, we must return to Mycenae and take back our homeland!" Bart.
…
Sergeant Anton couldn't help but get angry when he saw the fat man named Francisco Lopez in front of him still acting arrogantly even though he was a prisoner. But he still sat down patiently and asked in a stern tone: "You confessed your identity, but why didn't you confess the reason for attacking the Osiris?"
Francisco's hands were tied, and he leaned on the chair with his belly bulging. He glanced at Sergeant Anton's military rank and said arrogantly, "Are you a sergeant worthy of interrogating me? I tell you my identity so that you can The highest officer of the country came to see me! I am the general of the new Republic of Gran Colombia! The commander-in-chief of the northwest theater! The last time it is your Major General Shepard who comes to see me, do you understand? Get out of here!"
Anton was so frustrated that he almost stood up and banged the table. But he figured out how to take a dig at the general: "Yes, I'm just a sergeant, but I shot you down."
Francisco opened his eyes wide and asked in a suspicious tone: "You? The laser that shot me down was shot from a long distance from the ground. Can a sergeant like you fly a machine with a laser weapon? How did you hit me from that distance?" mine?"
Sergeant Anton smiled: "Although I have a low military rank, everyone calls me White Eagle because I am good at sniping, so I have a special machine developed by the Star Alliance. Of course, I don't expect the high-ranking admiral to ever hear my name. No. As for being able to hit you, it's actually quite simple. At that time, I saw a golden flying mantis flying above. If there was any danger, other flying mantises would protect it. It was easy to tell that it was the vehicle of the enemy's narcissistic commander. The last one is also an ace. If it can be shot down, it will definitely greatly damage your morale. At that time, my body could not move on the ground, but the shooting device could still be used, and your position happened to be covered by the maximum range of my laser sniper rifle. Naturally, I will not miss this opportunity. But after all, the distance is too far, so I only hit you with my third shot. Admiral, if you fly higher, maybe you don’t have to sit here."
Francisco never expected that his high-profile special machine would deceive him, and his momentum was greatly reduced. He tried to make amends for himself: "Of course, luck is also a part of the battle situation. If luck is not mine, I can only admit defeat."
"Since you have admitted defeat, can you tell me why you attacked us? Baron Humphrey on our ship had greeted all the RC warlords, but you deceived him. Who was behind you? Is it HER?"
"Understand, I am the general of the new Republic of Gran Colombia! No one can order me around!"
"Yes, Lord General. There are many warlords like you in RC."
"Asshole! What do you know! We are descendants of the Lopez family! I am... Humph! Forget it, there is no need to deal with an ant like you. Let me tell you, no one ordered me. Your Osiris is more famous than me. The military strategists are still famous, and I refuse to accept it! Only by defeating you can I get the fame I deserve, and everyone will know that there is such a number one figure in South America as me! As for Humphrey, he is just a broker, he Do you think you can tame me by representing the Moore Chamber of Commerce? At worst, I won’t do business with them!”
"What!? Just for this kind of thing!?"
After all, Sergeant Anton couldn't help but stood up, pointed at Francisco's nose and cursed: "Just to gain fame, you caused us to injure dozens of people?! You bastard!!"
"Who do you think you are, worthy of scolding me!? Call your captain!"
At this time, a soldier knocked on the door and came in. He showed Sergeant Anton something on a tablet. After reading this, Anton's expression changed from anger to joy, and before Francisco could ask, he said, "What a pity, Lord Admiral."
"What do you mean? What are you sorry for? Let me tell you, I am an important figure in our country. Please don't act rashly. If I do anything bad..."
Anton shook his head: "No, no, no, we never intend to use violence against you from the beginning to the end. We just regret to inform you that you are no longer the general of RC."
"ah???"
"You had a Captain Homer, didn't you? He took your battleship back to Paraguay, declared you a treason, and he took your place. Which means you are nothing now and you can't go anywhere. .”
"What!?"
Anton directly showed him the news on the tablet, fresh and hot news from global news websites. After seeing this, Francisco felt like he was struck by a thunderbolt and almost didn't fall down. If he fell, Sergeant Anton might not be able to help him up. He almost burst into tears and said to himself: "That bastard Homer! What a shame I trust him so much! This ambitious traitor has usurped the hard work of several generations of the Lopez family! He must have been waiting for my opportunity to dispatch the battleship. ! As long as he has a battleship, he can..."
"Stop, stop, I'm not interested in knowing how your men are deliberately trying to seize your position. But I have to let you know that the reason your men were able to rise to power so quickly is because they have the support of other big warlords in RC. Because they are not like you. Also wanting to offend the Moore Chamber of Commerce, Baron Humphrey assured them that as long as they can push you out of office, the Moore Chamber of Commerce can forget the blame and continue to help RC transfer trade. All these consequences are due to your greed for fame and you are to blame!!"
Francisco fell to the ground, dejected, muttering to himself.
