Wei Lan's news about this Lost Continent expedition was unprecedentedly public. At the same time, the council as a whole paid great attention to battlefield records for the first time.
A large number of war reporters have been recruited and trained in the early stage, and for the first time a complete jurisdiction and operation system have been formed.
They will come here later. On the one hand, they will assist the refusers and convey the war situation in Antarctica to the world in a timely manner. On the other hand, they will also record more people and things under the pen and through the lens, so as to leave them unknown to mankind. future, a more detailed history of struggle.
From the perspective of the Azure Council, this is probably a combination of short-term optimism and long-term worries. In the opinion of most of them, this expedition will probably be successful, but the future of mankind is still uncertain.
future.
If mankind finally wins the victory, it is not difficult to imagine that the sacrifices in the process must be extremely huge. These desperate sacrifices and this great history should undoubtedly be remembered forever.
Then perhaps, the overall personality and living conditions of human beings will change as a result.
And if human beings fail to create miracles in the end and fail...
Maybe a small number of people will survive by chance, underground or deep in the sea?
Maybe there will be sporadic fires that escape Blue Star and go elsewhere to continue the ethnic group's life?
Maybe they are all dead and the race is extinct, but this planet still exists after being ravaged and passed over. Will life sprout again?
No matter what the situation is, please try your best to preserve this history and tell future generations of mankind that their ancestors did not give up, but tried their best.
On October 3, 1995, the 100,000-strong elite mixed force of the Azure Forces left the Antarctic Peninsula in two batches, taking the lead all the way and cutting in from the western front of the mainland.
The next day, October 4, another 100,000 elite soldiers were suddenly dispatched. They first headed straight towards the pole traction field, then suddenly turned westward, forming a triangular cutting situation with yesterday's advance troops, and began to divide and clear large areas.
Dajian's mainland defense system with the traction field as its core was affected, and its troops began to tilt westward.
In the evening of the same day, Han Qingyu and his 7,000 Xifengrui troops quietly left the Antarctic Peninsula, headed east, and advanced along the coastline, pointing directly at Mount Erebus.
In terms of coastline, the area where Mount Erebus is located is the closest coastal location to the pole on the Antarctic continent.
Six days later on October 11th.
Led by the space aircraft carrier "Mechanical Cradle" of the Star Expedition Fleet, another cluster of human energy spacecraft landed on the Antarctic Peninsula.
At this point, all six of Azure's mothership-class spaceships and more than 90% of the source energy aircraft have gathered in Antarctica, and the construction of the frontline base for the human Lost Continent Expedition has been basically completed.
Field hospitals, war material warehouses and conveyance lines, food and water, rejecter bases and frontline emergency scientific research stations, modified vehicles and sled dogs... Weilan moved almost everything that could be moved.
Antarctica, this frozen continent that is rarely visited even in "peaceful times", has been set foot on by so many humans for the first time, and it has suddenly become full of vitality, prosperity and bustling.
…………
On Alexander Island, at least 20,000 people were waiting for the arrival of the Mechanical Cradle and the fleet spaceship. A large amount of supplies were moved out of the cabin. Old friends reunited in the crowd, and snowmobiles picked up people from their respective systems.
A Chinese Asian destroyer, led by an icebreaker, slowly crossed the island along the established route and anchored on the peninsula.
After all, the number of spaceships is limited, and most unimportant people and materials still have to come to Antarctica by ship.
Then, these warships will not leave. After completing their mission, they will temporarily anchor around all coastlines where human troops are active to deal with possible subsequent emergency evacuation.
"Let's go, get off the ship." He Daqing is the captain of this war reporter team. As a former scholar, Weiwei Antarctica only got out of the cabin early and stood on the bow of the ship to take a few glances.
The entire deck of the destroyer was full of people, and people from different systems walked together in teams. Because they had been on the ship for a long time, many people's steps were wobbly.
Their energy bodies are not yet powerful enough to overcome the natural reactions of humans.
"Is everything okay?" He Daqing turned around and asked.
"No problem." The person who answered seemed to be shaking his tongue.
The team members all laughed. Yao Yue and Lin Ya carried heavy equipment, food, and medicines on their backs. They supported each other and swayed a few steps together before finally standing still.
Give each other a pat on the cheek to calm the other person down.
Antarctic battlefield, we are finally here. Lin Ya and Yao Yue had seen Dajian before and encountered danger, but this was their first time to actually join the battlefield. It was the first time for most of the team, just like the new recruits.
"Why is no one picking us up, Captain He?" Lin Ya asked as she looked at the ice fields excitedly and eagerly as the people on the ship arriving at each system were almost gone.
Maybe they really can’t spare any manpower, right? Anyway, the big tip on the peninsula has almost been cleared, and there is no danger. He Daqing thought about it in his heart, raised his head and said with a smile:
"What are you going to pick up? Do you think we are here to visit? This is all we have to pick up. Will we have to arrange for someone to take you to such a big battlefield?"
Poof, tapping the waterproof map made of oil paper on the back of his hand, Captain He continued:
"Besides, doesn't everyone already have this map?"
"The device and the knife on the back are all for nothing?! Since you want to be a war reporter, first of all, you must regard yourself as a soldier, and then as a reporter."
"Let's go find it ourselves. Remember to look out for each other on the way."
The twelve-member war correspondent team followed the map and walked into the snow-covered ice field. Soon, they discovered that the map was actually of little use here.
Because of the existence of pointing instruments, there is no problem with the general direction, but it is difficult to find the accurate route.
Fortunately, blue sentries are now spread across the entire peninsula.
"Hello, I would like to ask how to find the Fourth Battle Group of the Chinese Asian Front Antarctic Expedition. How should we go?"
Two sentries wearing combat uniforms directly under the headquarters appeared on an ice rock. He Daqing raised his head and asked in English.
"This line is straight," the sentry gestured with his arm. "It's not too far. Just don't go astray. But you should hurry up. It seems that they started gathering over there two hours ago. At any time, It’s possible to leave.”
"Okay, thank you." Why are we leaving so soon? No, of course it was impossible to stay here just to wait for the war reporters. He Daqing became a little anxious.
Their mission was clear before departure. After arriving, they would find and follow the Fourth Battle Group throughout the entire operation to record the battlefield situation.
But, they didn't get the intercom. The Denier base station in Antarctica is still under construction, and communication needs are tight, so they cannot be taken into consideration for the time being.
It seems that the device must be turned on and run away, He Daqing thought in his heart.
"What about the sharp edge of the stream? Where is the sharp edge of the stream?" Lin Ya stood in the back row of the team, raised her head and suddenly asked, looking very interested.
At this question, all the reporters in the team looked up and waited for the answer, including the impatient He Daqing.
As a war correspondent, I watched the works of Ashley and Ian all the way. Who wouldn’t want to take photos of the sharp streams on the battlefield with my own hands? Major Qing, Lieutenant Wu Shi, Second Lieutenant Shen, Second Lieutenant Wen...
"The stream is sharp? Why don't you know? They set out to the east six days ago and entered the main continent!" said a sentry.
"Well, you must know that they are the elite of the elite, but 7,000 of them are responsible for one direction alone." Another sentry added, and then hesitated and thought, "By the way, are you war reporters?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lin Ya asked.
The two young soldiers on the ice rock, who still had childish looks on their faces and were obviously new recruits, looked at each other and turned around:
"Then can you take a photo of the two of us? It doesn't have to be used in the report..."
"But what if we use it, what if we become heroes."
"No problem." Lin Ya quickly took out the tightly wrapped camera from her backpack.
The young warrior quickly stood upright on the ice rock with his head held high.
"Click." The shutter was pressed. Lin Ya looked down, put it away, raised her head and waved her hand and said, "Okay, that's a good shot. We have to go first. See you on the battlefield."
"See you on the battlefield." The soldier waved back.
However, before the reporter team had gone too far, they shouted from behind: "By the way, what will you name this photo? I mean, this is our first battlefield photo. If it is published one day, It’s best if you give us a more powerful name, like Major Qing’s Flag on Shoulder, Flowing Light Cutting the Rainbow, Lava Sky…”
"Ha, this is also my first battlefield photo. It's called... two little soldiers standing on the ice rock?" Lin Ya couldn't think of a powerful name, so Lin Ya turned around and shouted with a smile.
"Huh?" The two soldiers were obviously frustrated.
Lin Ya herself felt that the name seemed a bit off, so she thought for a moment, "Then what are your names?"
"My name is Docha."
"Ghazal."
"Then call them Duocha and Gazal." Lin Ya shouted with a smile, waved her hands after shouting, turned back and continued running forward, "When your names become brilliant, these are the best names for the photos."
