【Chapter 383】A compromise plan
Although the captain said so, he also knew the meaning of his adjutant's reminder. The control method used by the Unity Sect this time was unprecedentedly effective. It could make a subordinate who was loyal one second become the most loyal the next second. Fierce killers come to attack their bosses and officers. Such precedents have already appeared in other troops and even warships. However, they were suppressed by Commander You Chengwang quickly and directly, leaving these people controlled by the Heyi Cult without any chance to take the next step. , was strangled in the cradle, so there are not many people inside the military government and fleet who know the detailed information.
But as the core coordinating commander of the First Fleet, he naturally knew the circumstances of those tragedies. Some of them were even promoted by himself. He originally planned to reuse them in the war for the restoration of the country and realize their best wishes, but The reality was indeed extremely cruel. They could no longer fight for the motherland in the stars, but the captain could not figure out from beginning to end how those officers, whose character and details he knew very well, could be so controlled by the Unity Cult.
He looked at his subordinates and even his officers in the bridge, and he shuddered in his heart. It wasn't that he was afraid of death. If his subordinates hadn't forcibly taken him away from the battlefield in many previous battles, he would have died long ago, and even more so. What's more, this captain represents not just an individual, but the core will of the armed restorationist faction in the First Fleet. If something goes wrong with him, other officers in the faction will inevitably be shaken. Of course, under the suppression of two highly prestigious administrators, You Chengwang and Feng Ji, rebellion is impossible, but a force that is wary of, suspicious of, and even repulsive to each other, even if it appears to be a whole on the surface, But in fact, the hearts have long been broken up. When encountering a historic battle, it is still unknown whether the original combat effectiveness can be exerted to 50%. After all, the troops rely not only on equipment, but also on will and belief.
As the governor, Feng Jitong used the people of the entire A13 residential area as bait and bets. This was largely due to the proliferation of Heyi Cult in the army, and government officials were infected. It was really not good for Feng Jitong to be handed over to the lowest level. Although AI management is less efficient, it can at least ensure basic stability. However, if the fleet is assimilated, the entire Ganymede will lose everything in the future, including the last hope of rebuilding and reviving Xia Kingdom. After all, the interstellar The Federation's loose management of Ganymede has never been determined by how well it does at the diplomatic level, but by its actual military strength. If this sharp blade is destroyed, then only a butcher's knife will be waiting for everyone on Ganymede. , weighing this, he had to make a choice.
Therefore, although the captain was not afraid of sacrifice, considering the relationship between the people and the troops, and the secret order personally issued by Commander You Chengwang, he could only be defeated by the threat of the Heyi Cult, which was a bit humiliating. He sat back in the command position, but he obviously did not sit still and wait for death. Although the direct order given to him by his superiors was to eliminate some uncontrollable hidden dangers, including isolating these people who were suspected of being infected to varying degrees and not leaving the control area of the A13 residential area, this was quite on blockade.
After thinking for a moment, he waved to his adjutant and said:
"Let the ship-based troops recruit and select a team to establish an armed observation base on the edge of the A13 residential area, so that we can further understand the situation there and prevent the infected people from leaking. If the weapons are... Let them wear locating beacons and contact warships for orbital strikes if necessary."
In fact, these three warships have already launched a large number of surveillance drones, covering fixed-wing drones, multi-rotor drones, tilt-wing drones and vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drones. Responsible for different spaces, areas and heights, and the above-mentioned drones have the characteristics of strong concealment, small size, strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, strong dynamic fixed-point tracking capabilities, all-round monitoring perspectives, and difficulty in detecting, etc., in the core area The surveillance drones are all equipped with stealth technology, and their technical level is almost the same as the suit of armor Zheng Feng wore before.
These drones allow two-level data links, uplink and downlink, to interact, building two systems for sending and receiving remote control commands and sending and receiving telemetry data and information systems. And it integrates into the informationized command and decision-making system to build a command and decision-making platform that includes dynamic data information elements, real-time visual information elements on the battleship, and intelligent scanning analysis. Moreover, these drones have long been separated from the appearance of machines in the real world. Instead of using the mechanical structure of wings or spirals, they simulate gravity, magnetic levitation, and particle traction, allowing them to achieve astonishing developments in size, endurance, and movement speed. Although to Xiao Ai, these disguises are completely worthless. Mention it, but for the group of Unity Cult personnel hiding in the dark, it can definitely be regarded as a hidden sharp blade.
In short, the reconnaissance system built by these drones is enough to allow the intelligence personnel and analysts on the battleship to understand the situation in an all-round way. The captain's plan sounds like a waste of effort and is completely unnecessary, but in fact it is Because he was able to understand the situation in this residential area, he sent a team to carry out a mission called "isolation" that was actually a guarding mission. Even though these people were at great risk of infection, they were still human beings and Ganymede. The people of the country, and the people of the future Xia Kingdom, he couldn't bear to let these people die in despair, and they died under the eyes of a group of soldiers whose essence was to protect the people.
"I understand, Commander, I will make arrangements now!"
"Um........."
After the adjutant left, the captain showed a sad look on his face, but in the end he could only helplessly smile. Although his position seemed to be enough to control everything, in this kind of decision, there was really a limit to what he could do. Maybe He could risk disobeying military orders and forcibly rescue these people, but they might spread the unknown infection to the entire Ganymede. Then he would not have to face hundreds of thousands of people, but hundreds of millions. , thinking of this, he clenched the head of the command staff tightly in his hand, gritted his teeth and roared:
“Ecumenism!!!”
Even though the low roar quickly dissipated in the air, his strong hands did not let go and stayed there for a long time......
At this time, on the combat readiness deck of the battleship, the soldiers in the rest cabin were silent. Although the holographic game on the table was turned on, no one paid attention to it. Only the solemn atmosphere became heavier. After a moment, a The soldier suddenly raised his head. His skin was deep brown, the result of years of training in the sun. Although the large scars on the side of his face made him a bit intimidating, his eyes were like the night sky. The stars in the eyes are firm and shining. Those eyes reveal not only tenacity, but also deep love for the motherland and people.
"I said, aren't you all pretty good at it? Why are you drooping your heads at this moment? There are so many people down there who are already on the verge of death. How can you still sit still!? Xiao Zhao, your mother won't pay you back. In the A13 residential area, why don't you say anything, are you a man?"
"I!...."
The soldier named Xiao Zhao suddenly raised his head in annoyance and wanted to refute something, but when he saw the opponent's eyes as hot as flames, he had to lower his head again and murmured in a low voice:
"I...I know, but the military order is..."
"Go to tmd's military order. When I was fighting bloody battles in the Xia Kingdom, these army officers were not born yet! I joined the army to protect the country, and I went to Ganymede because I believed this was the most likely place to rebuild the motherland. But what now? Just because of some infection, more than 100,000 people are allowed to kill each other? To fend for themselves?"
"Keep your voice down, Brother Yang. The whole fleet is in an uproar now because of the issue of that cult. Don't misunderstand you then."
"Misunderstanding, if they dare to arrest me, I will show it to them. If you watch the people die and still don't do anything, you have no mother and you don't know what it means to betray your relatives, right?!"
In the security node control center in area C of the combat readiness deck, the analysts handed these image data to the security officer. Although they did not say it explicitly, the veteran's words and deeds were obviously inappropriate, which could be charged with mutiny. The security officer took a few glances and did not order the punishment or arrest of the veteran named Yang in the holographic image. This was not because he was a senior veteran from the Xia Kingdom’s dormancy to the present, but because of what the other party said. What he said was actually somewhat similar to some of the thoughts in his heart. Although the words were a bit more violent, in essence he really cared about the people and the country. Even this sheriff felt that the orders from the Ganymede fleet were too conservative and conservative. harsh.
Now a large number of people in the A13 residential area are controlled by unknown forces, slaughtering those survivors, and even the Second Airborne Corps in charge of the garrison has been divided into two waves to fight. Although the troops led by Liu Zaijie were identified as "rebels" by the superiors, But judging from the fact that they sheltered the surviving people after the battle, the other side, which completely disregarded the life and death of civilians in order to achieve the purpose of combat, is more consistent with the term rebels. They have almost lost their humanity. If it were not for the battleships to attack those who acted without authorization The mechas and armed combat units directly carried out targeted strikes and clearances to let those people know who the real owner of the Ganymede Airport was. Otherwise, the troops under the Second Airborne Corps Headquarters would have defied the military government's mandatory requirements and began to Weapons of mass destruction were used.
But even so, the military government also adopted a rather conservative and restrained approach, allowing the three warships to only serve as supervisors. This was really puzzling. If it hadn't been for the order personally issued by Commander You Chengwang, they would have thought it was The military government fleet headquarters was also controlled by the Oneness Church. Thinking of this, the security officer shook his head and said:
"Just let the leader of his team verbally criticize him. He has not reached the level of punishment, not yet."
The analyst nodded expressionlessly and turned back to his job. Just when the safety officer sighed helplessly and was about to ask the bridge again about the next deployment, the command deck officer The military transfer order arrived in front of him first, and a miniature holographic portrait appeared in front of him and said:
"Operation authorization code AIo14, each area of the combat readiness deck selects a team of no more than 15 people with combat specifications to assemble on the landing deck, establish an armed observation point at the edge of the A13 residential area, report the situation in the residential area in real time, and coordinate with the security forces for management and control. Prevent the leakage of infected people, carry mainly non-lethal weapons for combat readiness, and lethal anti-personnel ammunition does not exceed 5% of the overall ammunition base. The squadron leader is responsible for adjusting the positioning beacon, and contacting warships for orbital strikes when necessary. For the first time Login deployment will start in 5 minutes!”
"Coordinate management and control to prevent the leakage of infected people?"
The safety officer quickly understood the subtext of this order. With his many years of experience, he could judge at a glance the bridge's trade-off in order to limit civilian casualties while minimizing conflict with the orders of the Fleet Headquarters. Otherwise, it would not be a hundred-man squadron, but all the combat soldiers on the combat readiness deck would be mobilized, so he immediately notified each area to conduct personnel selection.
In the rest cabin where the team was just now, a burly man was already standing in it and began to reprimand the veteran named Yang who just spoke out loud. If the captain was just a young officer appointed from above, not only would this veteran not be able to If you will understand it, you will probably go directly to conduct reverse education to let the other party know what flowers are particularly red. This is why veteran Yang's combat literacy and combat strength are among the best in the entire battleship, but why? There is no reason to hold an official position yet.
But the team leader who was scolding him at this moment was an old officer who had served in the Xia Kingdom's battle sequence. Moreover, the first time he dared to challenge him, he was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for several days, so even if The captain reprimanded himself, and he obediently sat on his bed and lowered his head to bear it. After all, he was still dissatisfied and he still had to admit his mistake.
"Yang Qing, I think you are used to being comfortable. You are looking for things for me all day long. Why don't you go fight with those people from the Interstellar Federation? Are you going to rebel? I will be the first to kill you. Let you rebel and I will let you..."
Before the reprimand was finished, the captain was attracted by the command in the ear communication unit. He temporarily stopped the reprimand in his mouth and the movements of his hands. After a while, he conveyed the order from the bridge. He was about to choose In the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Qing, who was full of expectations, like a three-year-old child begging for candy, and he softened his heart. How could he not be clear about this veteran under his command? He had always been full of enthusiasm, but his personality and temper were inconsistent. Forgive me, so he ordered Yang Qing in a stern tone:
"Yang Qing, you participate in this operation, let the battle straighten your temper, give you a minute to prepare, and then go to the assembly area to wait for deployment!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"You told me to call me captain, but your memory is bad?"
"Hey...Okay, old...captain!"
