In the southwestern mountainous area of Yuejiang Province, it is the second month since the backup base of the 2nd Weilanhua Science and Technology Research Institute was put into operation.
Morning, work time.
Half of the ground road had just been poured with concrete last night and had not yet completely solidified. The other half was a mixture of sand and cobblestones, and the sound of military boots made a loud sound.
"Major Xin, Major Xin, wait for me."
A new researcher in the same department who just joined last year shouted cheerfully from behind and quickly chased after him.
In fact, in units such as scientific research institutes, most of the time people are called leadership positions instead of military ranks. However, Xin Yaoqiao's situation is a bit special. She was awarded the military rank of the only witness to the regiment, and she also wore a combat system uniform.
And these were personally signed by Commander Chen Buxu.
It is the only special case in the entire Hua sub-scientific research system.
Xin Yaoqiao stopped and turned to wait for her.
When they arrived, the two walked into the work area door side by side.
Facing the door, on the stone wall used to block the view, a new slogan has just been changed in the past two days:
[Sacrifice everything for the victory of the Zenith War. 】
Not long ago, Weilan officially named this crisis of invasion of 27 cities around the world the "Zenith War."
This is also the third naming war in the history of mankind's fight against Dajian, following the "Flag War" on Mount Hilang four years ago and the "Ice War" in Antarctica that began more than two years ago.
Of course, Huaxiya still hasn’t gotten rid of the habit of posting slogans.
This is good. When I see them at work and off work every day, I will be reminded of the researchers’ sense of urgency and fighting mentality.
"I dreamed yesterday about the Dai Er who could speak human language." The little researcher said suddenly while walking.
"Ah, why are you dreaming about it?" Xin Yaoqiao turned to look at her.
"I dreamed that it was parked in the sky. I raised my head and yelled at it... Of course I won in the end. How could it be my opponent in the quarrel? Then it rushed down to kill me. It was a critical moment. In the dream, you Guess who’s coming?”
"Who is it?" Xin Yaoqiao asked cooperatively.
"The Major Qing, hehe, he jumped down from the spaceship and hugged my waist. Just like in the TV series, he held the knife in one hand, hugged me with the other, flew away, and then put me in a safe place. , he goes back to fight..."
The little researcher kept talking.
She just came in last year and didn't know about the friendship between Xin Yaoqiao and Major Qing or the rumors between the two.
Because Han Qingyu and others were on the run at that time, in order to avoid criticism and suspicion, all connections between her and Han Qingyu were jointly erased by her grandfather and grandpa, and they have been forbidden to mention them.
The distance from the door to the office building was not very far. Xin Yaoqiao listened quietly and smiled all the way.
The little researcher Gu Zi finished speaking with a happy smile, turned to look at her intently for a while, and suddenly said: "Major Xin, you seem to be in a much better mood recently."
"Huh? Is there any?" Xin Yaoqiao asked with a smile.
"Yes. I used to see that you were always distracted, and you looked unhappy when you were distracted. Then I heard them say that you seemed to be having a cold war with your family. Now, I feel that there is always a brilliance in your eyes, and even your skin is shiny. They are all better and more beautiful... Well, according to my reasoning, Major Xin, you are not in love, are you?!"
After the little researcher asked, he looked at Xin Yaoqiao expectantly.
"Uh", Xin Yaoqiao wondered if it was so obvious. It was just a quick meeting and she knew that the bracelet given by her mother was still there and the hair rope had been well preserved... After thinking about it seriously, she said to herself Yu muttered, "Forget it about falling in love. If we fall in love, I'll probably be pissed to death before I get married."
Because of the vagueness of the last sentence, the little researcher didn't hear it clearly, and asked with confused eyes: "Major Xin, what did you say? What's the matter?"
"No...I mean, compared to slowly falling in love, I feel like it's more fun to go on a blind date, then get married directly and have a bridal chamber. Well, that's it."
The little researcher opened his mouth wide: "Wow!"
"Wow what?"
"So exciting."
"Really?...Haha." Xin Yaoqiao felt the same way.
"Didn't a certain person always say that he would go home for a blind date after victory? Then do this. When the time comes, show up directly in front of him and have a blind date with him."
"But in this case, it seems that Qingzi's parents will also like it."
"If they knew what their son was like in this regard, they shouldn't dare to be too picky, right? Yes, if Qingzi's parents knew, they should have fun while thanking the girl for being blind. And I'm good-looking, eh .”
"How about I wait until the situation improves and learn housekeeping before I win?"
Xin Yaoqiao thought like this all the way up the stairs.
At this time, she didn't realize that her current location was actually very close to Han Qingyu's hometown. Two months ago, the two relocated fleets left in front of Han's roadside shop that had been closed. go through.
The two of them just talked and laughed as they went up the stairs and walked into the office.
In the office, several old researchers were already there, and their faces seemed a little heavy for the early morning.
"What's wrong?" Xin Yaoqiao asked worriedly as he put away his smile.
Because there has been so much bad news recently, as far as the 27 cities alone are concerned, Shenghai is the only place that can force Dajian into a defensive posture.
"The latest news is that we are preparing to withdraw our troops from Antarctica," a colleague said.
Celeste has good reasons for withdrawing troops from Antarctica.
For example, the current war situation and pressure no longer allow Weilan to invest a large number of troops there. In fact, there were no top experts there as early as two months ago. These combat forces must be transferred back and concentrated on densely populated areas. defense.
For example, the supply conditions and natural environment there are actually not suitable for large-scale human operations.
Another example is that no one lives there itself.
However, this also means that Wei Lan has admitted the defeat of the "Ice War" and has given up the planet's territory on a large scale for the first time.
Humanity began to lose its land.
This means a lot in a symbolic sense, and it is hard for many people to accept it for a while.
On the other hand, Dajian will now have a ground invasion base.
"Abandon Antarctica, and then..." The follow-up question is that Dajian will probably not stick there, they will set off from there. Xin Yaoqiao thought for a while, "And Oceania?"
"Azure is now discussing with governments of various countries the possibility of a complete evacuation of humans from Oceania."
"Actually, actual organizational preparations are already underway. It is estimated that when the troops withdraw from Antarctica, they will take away the first batch of people."
Another old colleague said. Because of the actual development of preparations, this matter is destined to be impossible to hide, and humans are planning to abandon Oceania.
Because Oceania is too close to Antarctica.
At the same time, it has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, numerous islands, and insufficient troops, making it difficult to defend.
"So, what about South Asia America? It seems to be closer to Antarctica, but it has a large population..." It seemed that it was difficult to accept such a "failure". The already somewhat emotional little researcher had tears in his eyes when he looked up.
"Over there? Over there, it is said that General Pochen has personally led his troops there, and humans will defend South Asia America."
"It's different there. There are more than 300 million people there, and it's directly connected to North America, so it's impossible to organize an evacuation."
"Once we evacuate from there, it means that even the densely populated areas of Azure begin to choose to give up... Then we really can't explain it to the world."
"Well, actually now, some branches of Innocence Purgatory and Snow Lotus outside have begun to promote this kind of propaganda among the people. So, it's okay for those who don't know, but people who know are already panicked."
"..."
The situation is far more difficult than imagined and is deteriorating faster.
The entire morning, the atmosphere in the office was heavy and depressing.
About time, the Azure Council.
Core level confidential combat meeting.
"Based on the current inference, after we completely give up Oceania, the part of the Dajian in Antarctica will definitely come over. At the same time, we expect that most of the Dajian groups concentrated above the core city will also come over and land for supplies... There’s no way they don’t need supplies.”
"Then, we will choose the opportunity to have a large-scale decisive battle there."
The generals of the Alliance Command looked at the map together. Oceania on the map was heavily circled, and at the same time, many arrows pointed at the central area of Oceania from the desert and the surrounding islands.
"For this reason, it's best if we eliminate that Dai Er before the decisive battle begins."
According to the current judgment, Wei Lan believes that Dai Er is the current top commander of the Dajian invasion force and also the most powerful force.
If you can destroy it.
If we can continue to win this decisive battle.
Humanity may be able to regain time and space for growth.
At the same time, we also won a large amount of resources and completed the reconstruction of our beliefs, thereby preparing all conditions for global integration testing, selection, and comprehensive recruitment.
"... Dai uh, Dai uh." Kemer muttered and raised his head, "What did Army Commander Chen say? Did he respond?"
The confidential secretary on the side shook his head.
"He did not give a personal reply, but the reply from the only witnessing legion in Hua Xia said that Commander Chen still needs at least two years. He is now... in a weakening cycle."
The secretary said that Commander Chen Buxing was in a period of decline.
This word sounds weird, but the core Azure personnel present did not show such a reaction, because they actually knew about it.
Thirteen years ago, this situation began to exist for the invincible Chen Buxing.
The cycle of three years of decline and three years of prosperity, no one can explain the reason.
It's just that they all probably understand that even if Chen Buxu is in a weak stage, he is still invincible in the world, and he will become stronger after each period of weakness.
But they didn't know that Chen Buxu actually died thirteen years ago.
