From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 408

c397 Confrontation

Senior officer’s sleeping quarters.

yes!

Hearing what Leon said, Rui Ge, who was in a depressed mood, reacted instantly.

Coupled with the slightly chaotic environment in the dormitory, Carmen Ibanez’s dress, etc., even if Leon didn’t continue, Rigo knew that Carmen had cheated on her before she explained it to him, and even told him about the affair. Senior military officers hooked up.

Rui Ge, who fully understood, immediately threw away his sadness and depression, replaced by anger.

And Tiz Flos, who was sitting not far away, also had sharp eyes and was even more unhappy with Carmen, his old classmate and love rival.

But Tiz still seemed to be focusing on his own affairs and did not interrupt the discussion.

“Fake! Such a bitch?!”

As for the ace who was slow to react, after deducing from Leon’s words that Carmen had cheated on him, he once again raised his hand on Ruige’s shoulder and said angrily:

“Man! Fortunately, the sergeant saw through that bitch in advance. Otherwise, if you had participated in the expedition in ignorance, you might have been killed in battle for no apparent reason, and then you would have regretted what you did wrong before you died, and why you were dumped by that bitch! ”

“Ace. If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”

The ace’s relief was not a relief, which made Rui Ge laugh angrily.

Then, Rui Ge stood up, looked at Leon, and said:

“Sergeant, thanks to your enlightenment, otherwise I might have participated in the expedition in a daze like Ace said, and then died inexplicably.”

“What did I enlighten you about?” Leon put his arm around Rui Ge’s shoulders, walked out of the cabin, and continued:

“I’m just stating the facts. If my team leader is unable to concentrate because of love, it will put yourself and all your comrades in danger.

So as a sergeant, it is necessary to correct your perspective.

“And” Leon lowered his voice at this point:

“The expedition has its advantages and disadvantages. Your ex-girlfriend chose to use her body to try shortcuts for her future in the army. Of course, based on my analysis as an experienced person, I think your ex-girlfriend simply has a problem with her character.

She can’t control her body, has no loyalty at all, and thinks that you have no future in the mobile infantry, so you should regain your momentum and slap her in the face. ”

“Slap in the face? This is not good.”

Rui Ge was stunned.

“What I mean is to prove that you are no worse than those officers. It’s not like I really want you to slap someone in the face.” Leon shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the two of them also walked to the automatic door of the dormitory.

Leon released his right hand holding Rui Ge’s shoulder, turned to everyone in the cabin, and said loudly:

“To celebrate the fact that our 1st team captain, Johnny Rego, is now single, I’ll treat you all to a drink at my own expense!”

“Alas!!”

“For Brother Rui!”

“Single! Single!”

As Leon said the word “treat”, the atmosphere in the cabin was no longer as weird as before.

Everyone shouted and surrounded Leon and Rui Ge as they left the cabin and headed towards the belly of the Roger Young ship they were on.

There is a comprehensive area for eating, entertainment and training.

Moreover, the Federation will provide the army with abundant supplies, whether in peacetime or in the midst of war.

It can be said that the most indispensable thing for the army is food and drink. In addition, the army has not yet entered a state of combat preparation, and the superiors have not issued an order prohibiting drinking, but the drinks are not provided for free.

Upon hearing Leon’s treat, the guys in the combat platoon became enthusiastic.

Compared with other recruits who became sergeants in the same period, they either had “three things to do when new officers take office” and used their status as officers to suppress them, or they were rigid, dull, and had no aura to speak of.

On the other hand, their sergeant led the two teams to successfully win many simulated battles. The most important thing was that he was very “generous”.

Whenever I have free time, I will treat various guests.

So after two months of getting along, the members of the two teams unknowingly regarded Leon as their backbone.

Next.

A group of people walked through the inner corridor of the ship.

It was clear that the expedition was imminent, and the broadcast was also reminding everyone that the fleet would sail at warp speed in half an hour. However, as investigators, Leon and Maggie realized more intuitively that the federal army did not have the tension and restraint it had before the war.

Most of the recruits were even chatting and betting on how many days it would take them to finish the battle.

Various signs indicate that the Federation at this stage has not experienced a large-scale battle for too long, resulting in a lack of awe for war.

Moreover, the arrogance and complacency of the top federal officials has spread from top to bottom to every corner of the federal system.

When facing the Blood Angels Legion of the Human Empire with this mentality, the best result is to suffer a salvo of artillery fire from the legion fleet, and then the Federation’s expedition fleet and accompanying mobile infantry will end their lives in an instant.

If the Blood Angels are allowed to perform gang-hopping warfare.

Then the federal fleet and mobile infantry will have to face bloody scenes that are a hundred times more terrifying than the Arachi Zerg.

After all, the Blood Angels are good at raids and deep strikes, and their fighting style is equally sharp.

Even humans, once they are regarded as heretics or traitors, the Blood Angels will launch indiscriminate sweeps and purges.

Such an opponent is really not worth the “big fanfare” of their investigation department to focus on infiltration and instigating rebellion.

However, what the human empire needs is unity, not massacre.

Coupled with the “Starship Fleet” universe numbered “One Four”, its human scale has reached the level of hundreds of billions, and its resources are equivalent to the Milky Way of the “Halo” universe.

Simple assassinations of high-level officials do not apply to the United Citizens Federation.

Although “Starship Fleet” also has rebels, compared with “Halo”, it is still far behind.

Moreover, the Federation’s unique ideas have influenced most humans in the “Star Fleet” universe, so the Empire needs to collapse the Federation from the inside out, or replace it.

Then the Blood Angels Legion will have to “reinforce” some.

The Blood Angels launched a crushing artillery salvo against the Federation fleet, which will most likely never be seen again, and the “convergence” nature of gang-hopping warfare will be the main rhythm between the two sides.

At the same time, as a “veteran”, Lyon believes that the human “civil war” that breaks out in the frontier star field will definitely attract the participation of the Arachi Zerg.

If the Araki Zerg also dispatched their biological fleet when a “low-intensity” battle broke out between the Blood Angels and the Federation Expeditionary Fleet, then

The Blood Angels have too much room for maneuver.

He, Maggie and other investigators who infiltrated the Federation were able to cooperate with the Blood Angels inside and outside to gain more power.

And the group of them walked noisily towards the cafeteria, but were interrupted by “Johnny-Rigo~!”

?

Hear the words.

Leon and others turned around and saw Carmen Ibanez, wearing a lieutenant uniform, looking at Rigo in surprise.

Moreover, there are more lieutenants belonging to the fleet gathered in this hub area, and they seem to be preparing to go to the canteen to have dinner and drink at their own expense.

As a member of the crew, Carmen Ibanez is responsible for driving the escort transport ship, which is the Roger Young on which Lyon and others are aboard.

Carmen’s stunned and surprised expression showed that she did not know this beforehand.

“Carmen?”

The same goes for Rui Ge.

This “chosen person” who could be valued by the Ministry of Intelligence turned around and saw his former girlfriend in a daze. He immediately forgot about his previous anger and seemed to want to have a close conversation with her.

Fortunately, Rui Ge was awakened by Leon in advance, and quickly put away his “dog-licking” look, and watched the other party approach with a cold expression.

After all, the rails are out, why not talk about it?

?

Carmen was a little puzzled by the sudden change in Rui Ge’s demeanor, but after getting closer, she still took the initiative to show her kindness:

“I didn’t expect that you and your troops would also be deployed to the Roger Young.”

“It’s just a coincidence, Lieutenant Ibanez.”

Rui Ge replied coldly, then turned around and continued walking to the cafeteria with Leon, Ace and others.

? ? ! !

Carmen found it hard to accept Ruige looking like this.

In high school before entering the army, no matter what she did or decided to do, Rui Ge would support her mindlessly.

But Carmen has never thought that Brother Rui is so cold now? ?

Didn’t she just dump him?

While still in a relationship, she had a one-night stand with her partner and boss, Sander Barrow.

Besides, Brother Rui didn’t know this, so why did he treat her like this?

How about we all continue to be friends?

The most important thing is that if Johnny Rego breaks out in the mobile infantry, she can also have another connection.

“.”

Lyon, who also observed Carmen Ibanez at close range, did not intervene during the whole process.

But after learning about Carmen’s past through Rui Ge, he could tell at a glance that this type of young woman was actually very “loyal.”

But it’s not about emotional loyalty, but about having a clear goal of his own, which is to become a captain and have a place in the federal army.

During school days, she went to confirm her relationship with Johnny Rego, a school boy and rich second generation, but did not keep distance or ambiguity with other outstanding men. When she realized that the existing emotional relationship was just burdensome and useless, she would decisively abandon it.

This type of person, regardless of gender, is self-centered.

As for whether he will betray humanity?

But Leon couldn’t give an accurate judgment.

After arriving at the cafeteria.

Leon still generously paid for the drinks, allowing everyone to sit on the fixed benches near the portholes, eat the free food provided by the canteen, and drink and chat.

Tiz took the initiative to sit next to Rui Ge, who was still in a depressed mood, and asked, “Why didn’t you talk to Carmen more?”

“There’s nothing to talk about.” Rui Ge took a sip of whiskey in his glass and said:

“I joined the army for her before, but now I do it for myself. Killing enemies in battle and gaining military honors are more important than anything else.”

“Haha! Well said!”

Ace appeared between Rigo and Tiz at some unknown time, shouted hello, then raised the entire bottle of whiskey in his hand and said to all his comrades:

“Come! Celebrate Johnny’s brain returning to sanity! And thank you Sergeant for your generous expense! Drink!”

“drink!”

All the recruits raised their own wine glasses and bottles, and poured wine into their stomachs.

Leon and Maggie also participated with smiles on their faces, but in their hearts they despised the Federation for being too “loose”.

“Attention everyone, the captain is speaking here.”

At this time, the captain’s reminder came from the cafeteria’s broadcast, and all he heard was:

“The Roger Young is about to rush to the New Hope Colony in the Frontier Star Territory together with the fleet, and will start sailing at warp speed in ten seconds.

It is expected to arrive at the designated wormhole in 18 hours, and use the wormhole to jump directly to the outer galaxy of the New Hope Colony.

Finally, all personnel are requested to prepare, over. ”

As the captain’s voice fell, everyone’s eyes also turned to the porthole.

After counting silently for ten seconds, the scene outside the porthole composed of the earth and the fleet also switched in an instant to the appearance of all things turning into “straight rays” and quickly “going away” behind them.

Warp speed travel plus wormhole jump, it means that it may not take an earth day for them to fight with the “human empire” as the official said.

But the recruits, including Johnny Rico, have absolute confidence in this expedition.

Because the federal officials once bluntly stated that according to the information held by the intelligence agency, the so-called human empire has only more than ten escort transport ship-level warships in total, and the number of troops may not exceed 100,000.

So everyone who participated in the expedition felt that the outcome of this action was already doomed.

Twenty-four hours later, the New Hope colonized the galaxy;

The federal expeditionary fleet has already used warp speed travel and wormhole jump, and finally “swaggered” The expedition fleet was sailing in the galaxy in a conventional way and headed straight for the New Hope colony, which looked like a sandy planet.

And the expedition fleet only deployed the most conventional triangular formation, without dividing into small groups of warships to provide cover on the periphery.

As Leon, Maggie and others guessed, the generals in charge of the expedition fleet believed that they only needed to “push forward in one wave” to deal with the fleet of the human empire.

Not long after.

The expedition fleet actually went to the gravitational range of New Hope unimpeded, reaching an area only 200,000 kilometers away from the surface.

Up to now, no ships from the empire have taken the initiative to show up and engage in a battle with them.

This made the federal generals a little confused for a while.

But after a brief discussion, the expedition fleet continued to approach the low-Earth orbit of New Hope, preparing to send the mobile infantry it carried to the surface first.

Soon, the expedition fleet arrived at the low-Earth orbit about 1,000 kilometers away from the surface.

And at this moment in the Roger Young hangar;

“Quick, quick, quick!”

“Everyone get on the landing craft! Quick! ”

I saw a large number of fully armed mobile infantrymen following their respective officers into the DR-4 Viking landing craft.

Immediately afterwards.

Twenty Viking landing crafts followed the fixed track, entered and exited the air valve cabin, and came to both sides of the Roger Young ship.

After the Viking landing crafts left the fixed track one by one, the pilots began to take over the control and made the landing crafts rush into the atmosphere of New Hope quickly.

And there were also a large number of F-76 Thunder attack aircraft, forming an escort formation to cover thousands of Viking landing crafts.

However, when the flight formation was about to break into the atmosphere, the Blood Angels Fleet of the Human Empire appeared directly behind the Federation Expeditionary Fleet.
