Yang Ming was walking in the corridor of a certain command flagship, and the officers and soldiers passing by were performing military salutes ably.
There are hot eyes everywhere.
Yang Ming felt a strong atmosphere of personality worship.
"Vice Admiral Hanton arrives on the bridge!"
Accompanied by this powerful shout, Yang Ming stepped into the heart cabin of the command ship. Soldiers from all over the cabin saluted at the same time, while the operators selectively ignored it in accordance with the standard operating regulations.
"Hanton," Admiral Thomas took the initiative to greet him, "it's great to see you alive and well again."
Yang Ming performed a military salute and said with a smile: "Congratulations, general."
Thomas had some emotion in his eyes and didn't mention much about the promotion in military rank.
After all, he was promoted to the Imperial General in advance because of his great achievements in fighting against the insect wave. The insect wave caused astronomical casualties to the people of the Empire, and it was not something worth showing off to a soldier.
"Hanton, sit here."
Yang Ming followed General Thomas with his hands behind his back, and the two of them sat down by the porthole together.
Outside the porthole is the entire huge deep airport.
This kind of port does not need to make it move. It only needs to have a weak power to maintain the relative distance from several nearby stars. It does not need to have a too complicated structure.
From a distance, it looks like a metal cancer cell appearing in space, growing disorderly from all angles.
"Hanton," General Thomas went straight to the point, "I suddenly called you here this time because of a more formal military matter."
"Formal military service?"
"Yes," Thomas curled his lips slightly, and there was some thought in his eyes, "I actually don't recommend giving this task to you, but this is the request of the supreme commander, and the next step is the order of His Majesty."
Yang Ming asked: "What's the mission? General, you don't have to be shy, just tell me."
"The external crusade against several planets," Thomas said, "is not to attack the planets themselves, nor to destroy these political systems. It is just a relatively conventional military operation. To put it simply, it is counter-terrorism."
Several question marks popped up on Yang Ming's head.
"Anti-terrorism?"
"Yes, I'm confused too," General Thomas clicked his tongue. "The order came very suddenly, and I don't know why the higher-ups suddenly want to attack the terrorist organizations on these planets, and they named me to lead the team.
Cooperate."
The general slid his fingers continuously and placed a stack of virtual files in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming didn't say anything more and started to look through the information.
Star Dominguez.
This mission is targeted at the Dominguez people who have become increasingly active both inside and outside the empire's borders recently.
Yang Ming immediately thought of several keywords - the Dominguez massacre, three shaped energy bombs that bombarded surface cities, and the Sakaar gas bomb incident.
"Do I have to do this kind of work?"
Yang Ming was a little confused and asked directly:
"Isn't it enough to just screen out terrorists and just call a major general to lead the team?
"Is there any twists and turns here? Or am I too superficial to understand the good intentions above?"
"It has no good intentions," Thomas smiled bitterly, "I just want you to fight against terrorism, and I have equipped you with a fleet of more than 800 main battleships to ensure that you will not be killed by terrorists."
Yang Ming and Thomas stared at each other for a while.
However, what Thomas said later made Yang Ming find a bit of 'logic'.
"You have another task this time, which is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Imperial Guard 2.0 system. Of course, this is the responsibility of the evaluation team. You only need to sign some documents."
Thomas continued:
"I think you must have heard about the Dominguez Planet massacre. This incident has a great political impact.
"The combat plan is also very simple. You only need to send a fleet to surround these three or four planets, cut off their external routes, and then send a drone formation to scan the surface and underground to find the bases they have built in recent years."
"What if there is no new base?" Yang Ming asked.
"Then find an uninhabited area and drop a few ground-penetrating bombs," Thomas said seriously, "and then tell us that you destroyed a small base, destroyed the new weapons they developed, and prevented their terrorist actions against the empire.
."
Yang Ming:……
Thomas smiled bitterly:
"Don't worry, everyone is doing this, because these planets are not terrorist bases for the Domingos at all.
"The people living here are all old, weak, sick and young. The only ones who are in danger are the children. When those children reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, they will be taken away by the 19 Domingos terrorist organizations and accepted.
The training of new federal agents begins their miserable lives.
"Don't try to solve this problem, Hanton, you can't solve this problem.
"Domingos deeply hate the Empire, and this hatred is passed down through blood and through their family education.
"The proud empire cannot apologize and compensate the Dominguez people, otherwise... dozens or hundreds of political bodies will stand up and demand an apology and compensation from the empire.
"This deadlock can only go on like this."
Yang Ming sighed slowly: "I really don't want to take this job."
General Thomas laughed: "Your Majesty named me."
"Can't you refuse?" Yang Ming said, "I might as well spend more time with my girlfriend."
"Daphne?"
"Uh-huh," Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, and Thomas understood immediately.
"Go ahead," Thomas slapped a piece of military order in front of Yang Ming. "Don't let His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief stand down because of such a trivial matter. You can go on vacation for a few months. I have arranged some capable staff for you.
, just let them do the dirty work.”
"No...do you need 800 ships to deal with three small planets without the ability to resist?"
"These eight hundred ships are also tasked with testing the command capabilities of Imperial Guard 2.0. Moreover, the empire has just experienced a large insect wave. In the process, a number of promising generals emerged, and a large number of generals died in the battle.
The front line against the insect tide. We can also conduct a comprehensive inspection of them this time to prepare for subsequent promotions."
Look at it this way, the key to this operation is this Imperial Guard 2.0.
Yang Ming thought for a while and pressed his thumbprint on the military order.
The old emperor wants him to fight against terrorism?
I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
After getting out of the command ship, Yang Ming set off with the two staff officers and rushed to the expedition fleet that had been prepared.
This fleet is well-equipped, has three-dimensional combat capabilities, is equipped with various ground strike mounted weapons, and has as many as thirty-six large space carriers.
This kind of space carrier is usually a weapon used for ground strikes.
After Yang Ming sat on the command platform on the flagship bridge, six staff officers sent by the military took seats next to him, and sixty projection screens popped up in front of him.
The generals in these projection screens are the commanders of each formation.
At this moment, each of these lieutenant colonels, senior colonels, and brigadiers looked at Yang Ming with burning eyes.
It seemed that as long as Yang Ming gave an order, they could tear off the first star of the New Federation.
"General," the staff officer on the side reminded, "according to convention, before the fleet sets sail, the commander-in-chief needs to encourage all levels of command and all crew members."
Yang Ming nodded.
He is good at speaking.
A staff officer took the initiative and handed over a speech script below.
Boss Yang waved his hand calmly and said with a smile: "I'm just chatting with you, there's no need to be too formal."
"yes!"
"Ahem," Yang Ming cleared his throat. Sitting on the soft floating chair, his eyes were a little empty. "The mission this time is to fight against terrorism. Well, counter-terrorism is a... Everyone thinks that this may not be a big deal, either.
It’s not a difficult task, but it affects all aspects. It can be said to be very important. You must also improve your concentration awareness, improve your own awareness, and respond to various emergencies in a timely and efficient manner... Okay, that’s all I’ll say, everyone.
Do what you have to do, let’s call it a night and set sail!”
Several staff officers had black lines covering their foreheads.
Many of the officers almost laughed out loud.
If there were media here to record Yang Ming's speech, it would probably create a wave of nonsense literature in the empire.
Yang Ming leaned back in the chair, adjusted the suspension chair to casual massage mode, took out an eye mask from the pocket of his military uniform, and lay down calmly.
Law has begun a comprehensive investigation of Domingos Planet.
By the way, Lu will also analyze the impact of this incident on Yang Ming's reputation, and will promptly remind Boss Yang before an incident occurs that can affect Yang Ming's reputation.
What Yang Ming is most worried about now is that he has caught a few mud spots in the big quagmire of Planet Domingos.
…
[The boss is about to go to Domingos Planet to carry out anti-terrorism activities.]
[Captain Catherine, please send a message to the four organizations you control, asking them not to take any action against the Imperial fleet for the time being. 】
[The boss’s reputation cannot be damaged.]
An abandoned resource star on the border of the empire, in the office hall of the underground base.
Catherine, who was sitting in the corner of the hall, was stunned for a moment as she looked at the several messages that appeared on the projection screen in front of her.
Domingos star?
This planet is naturally familiar to Catherine. She has been dealing with the Domingos recently and obtained a lot of weapons and equipment and more than ten medium-sized warships.
Catherine subconsciously glanced at her surroundings.
【Why was he sent to counter-terrorism?】
[The old emperor probably wanted him to bind him to the Imperial Guard 2.0 system, but at the moment the Imperial Guard 2.0 system has not yet been connected to the warship network, so it is not easy to be sure about related matters. 】
Catherine thought carefully and continued to reply to the 'mysterious assistant'.
【Domingues is not a benign place.
[The environment there is harsh and the unregistered population is very large. Although most Domingos organizations have moved their bases there, it is still one of the important sources of resistance soldiers.
[If the empire sends a fleet there again, it will definitely be criticized by the New Federation, and it will also affect the nerves of many resistance organizations.
[If someone wants to slander the reputation of White Ghost, they will probably arrange a farce on Dominguez Planet, which will have a wide range of negative effects.]
In the thinking space, Lu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
In terms of how much she cares about her boss, Captain Catherine is definitely among the top three in the human race!
[Don’t worry, I have considered these matters. The problem at this stage is not to let the boss get into negative news, and to control the situation on Dominguez Star so that no armed conflict occurs. 】
[Well, if you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible. I can influence some Dominguez organizations. 】
【Okay captain!】
…
Let me tell you something, this commander's suspension chair is really comfortable.
Yang Ming originally just wanted to show off that he didn't want to care about such trivial matters, so he put on a blindfold.
But unexpectedly, he fell asleep quickly.
Still slept very soundly.
The staff officers moved to another area to continue drinking coffee and chatting.
Obviously, no one took this action too seriously.
In the eyes of these officers, this was just a gold-plated operation to enhance their merits. More than 800 imperial warships pressed forward together. Not to mention the current Domingos Star, even the Domingos in its heyday could directly
Sweep.
They will not enter the atmosphere to fight in the future. If they need to bomb some areas, they will only need to send out a saturated number of drones.
This military operation is essentially a gold-plated tour.
drop.
Yang Ming woke up from a deep sleep as a reminder sounded in his ears.
He was stunned for two seconds, then immediately took off his blindfold and sat up on the floating chair.
It was quiet inside the bridge, with each operator sitting at their respective posts and focusing on their work meticulously.
"General!"
The staff officer on duty trotted over and saluted Yang Ming.
"Where are we?"
“We just left the border,” the staff officer smiled, “we were just wondering if we should wake you up...According to the action plan, we will now begin to connect to the Imperial Guard 2.0 system and begin comprehensive fleet command operations on the system.
Review.”
"Okay," Boss Yang responded, "You guys follow the plan, I'll just watch from here."
"yes."
The staff officer nodded with a smile, and then shouted to the communication station below the command podium:
"The commander-in-chief issued an order to start connecting to the Empire Total Defense 2.0 system."
"Repeat, start accessing."
Orders were quickly passed throughout the fleet.
Each operator simultaneously pressed the virtual buttons that had been preloaded in advance, and a "fancy" loading interface appeared simultaneously on the main screen of the bridge of all ships.
Among the stars shining, a sharp lightsaber pierced the dark background of the universe. The figure holding the sword stood in the boundless darkness. The sword began to rapidly enlarge, revealing the detailed texture structure within it.
Then the lightsaber shattered into dots of starlight, which converged into a line of large characters.
"Empire Total Defense System·Enhanced Edition".
When these big words dissipated, Labrador's figure appeared on the main screen, gave a military salute to everyone, shrank to the corner of the main screen, and shouted with a gentle male voice:
"Dear sirs, Imperial Guard Labrador is reporting to you."
Yang Ming couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his nose.
Why is this guy... so greasy?
Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly, and Lu's reminder appeared on it.
[Boss, this guy’s core data is extremely active and he seems to be very excited. I suspect he wants to do something to prove his role.]
[You'd better hit him, otherwise it's just the innocent humans who will suffer. Domingos is already miserable enough.]
Yang Ming nodded with a smile, his eyes twinkling with light.
He called out: "Labrador?"
"Oh, great ghost!"
Labrador's figure suddenly appeared next to Yang Ming, and he performed a chest caressing ceremony to Yang Ming: "It is my honor to fight side by side with you."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Look, human Labrador is at least very polite when it comes to politeness, which is much better than Li Ke.
"It's also an honor for me to work with you," Yang Ming said warmly, adjusting the suspension chair into a normal sitting structure, "What do you plan to do?"
Labrador asked: "Are you asking about the next battle plan?"
"Yes," Yang Ming looked at this guy with a smile.
Labrador immediately said: "You should be the one to set the tactical objectives. I am responsible for providing you with reference opinions and overall command during the battle. I follow your orders."
Yang Ming nodded: "Well, you still passed this assessment."
Labrador suddenly showed a smile and a proud look like "he knew it was like this".
Yang Ming asked slowly: "Then what kind of combat advice can you provide me now? Our goal is to find the terrorists hiding on Dominguez Planet."
Labrador groaned a few times.
His realistic projection can almost look real, like a living person standing next to Yang Ming, softly meditating.
Soon, an earthy yellow planet appeared on the home screen, and a staff officer reported:
"General, we have arrived at the first target area. The second and third mixed fleets will arrive at the other two planets simultaneously in five minutes and forty-five minutes!"
"Okay, our department will be temporarily reorganized, and then the three planets will advance simultaneously."
The staff officer shouted angrily: "Yes!"
Labrador had already finished thinking and said, "I have prepared three sets of combat plans for you. Do you choose to be radical, moderate, or balanced?"
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.
This guy is quite interesting.
at the same time.
In Lu's thinking space, Lu put on a dress, crossed her legs, drank happy water, and was watching this scene with a frown and a frown.
In the black box space of the law, the girl with twin ponytails curled up there, her eyes slowly opened a gap, and in that gap, there was also a light and shadow similar to what Ritsu had seen.
