Of course, these two unreasonable senior officers did not take Yu Lian and Feifei to the military meeting as soon as they got off the ship - it would have seemed too deliberate to do so - but took them to eat as a matter of course.
A good meal.
This is considered to be the wind and the dust.
Of course, they did not accompany them during the meal - it seemed too deliberate to do so - but found a non-commissioned officer to do logistics work, and then left. Before leaving, Brigadier General Luben solemnly reminded him again
Yu Lian, someone will be sent to the hotel to pick him up at eight o'clock tomorrow to attend the meeting. Please be sure to attend.
New Seville is a water world where 90% of the land surface is covered by the ocean. Its specialty is naturally seafood delicacies. The main dish is a piece of fish, which makes Yu Lian, who thinks he is well-informed,
It was an eye-opener for everyone. The main course seemed to be the giant swordfish, a specialty of New Seville, but its belly was actually a golden salmon; the belly of the golden salmon was green barracuda, and the belly of the blue barracuda was
White-scaled fish; at the end, the belly of the white-scaled fish was still stuffed with drunken shrimps that had been soaked in fine wine.
The entire dish is steamed using high-heat lasers, and it truly has a taste that cannot be tasted on earth.
Although Yu Lian feels that this dish should actually be called "ecological chain", and the core is quite cruel, the taste is indeed very good.
The next day, the logistics sergeant whose name was not too important brought Yu Lian and Feifei to the headquarters early in the morning and began to prepare for the military meeting.
The headquarters conference room is divided into steps. It is large enough to accommodate two to three hundred people. The facilities inside are also very complete. At least they are much better than the Tulong headquarters on Xinyumen.
At this time, only the first three rows of the conference room were occupied, and they were all school-level officers.
"This is Captain Yu Lian, the special commissioner of the headquarters, who is responsible for the supervision and supervision of our operation." Brigadier General Lu Ben introduced.
This is the embarrassing part of the work of imperial envoys to supervise the army. The so-called "supervision" and "supervision" are too free. In the end, whether it will become mutual constraints or concerted efforts depends on each person.
Already.
Everyone started to applaud. Although it was very cliché, they were applauding with a friendly smile after all.
"This is Lieutenant Fina Li, Specialist of the Propaganda Department of the Headquarters. I hope you can show the grace and courage that a community soldier should have, so that Lieutenant Li can write an excellent report for us!" The Brigadier General added.
introduced.
This time everyone's applause seemed to be more sincere and the smiles were brighter.
In short, maybe someone is a Central Commissioner after all, a Moonman after all, a Tiger Talisman Team after all, and someone is a psyker after all; so, in addition to the necessary military etiquette issues, Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Hesa
From the beginning to the end, he never acted like a superior in front of Yu Lian, and he was also very polite and friendly to Feifei.
His attitude can be described as quite upright and sincere.
With the two of them taking the lead, the other officers did not show any negative emotions. There was no traditional drama that everyone liked to see in the entire military meeting. At least on the surface, the meeting started with a positive atmosphere.
Then, as the second most important person in theory at the scene, Colonel Sahe began to introduce to everyone: "After the order from the headquarters came down, we began to conduct a larger-scale pre-war reconnaissance. We invited from the far shore fleet
Three large orbital exploration ships, together with ground search forces, have been exploring for nearly a month. Currently, all new settlements on the planet Lumina that have not been registered with the sector government are at the following locations."
He glanced at everyone and saw that neither Yu Lian nor Feifei had any reaction, so he continued: "These are naturally potential supporters of the separatists, but they are not our focus today. The problem now is here..."
He pointed at a point on the holographic map and enlarged it into a holographic image. What unfolded directly was a large group of buildings located among the mountains and forests. Those ancient Rumina buildings were among the hazy forest valleys and mountains.
It is looming in the middle, just like the city of elves in fairy tales.
"This is the ancient city of Sero with a history of nearly 10,000 years. It is located in the Great Forest of Sero and is also the holy land of the Rumina people..." As he spoke, he adjusted the image: "This place was originally almost two years old.
It has not been inhabited for ten years, but now a large number of heat sources have been discovered, and a considerable number of Rumina people should have gathered there."
He paused and looked at Yu Lian: "Under the auspices of the psychic consultant sent by the fleet from the far coast, we conducted... well, some investigation there, and determined that there was something subtle, but not normal.
Psychic fluctuations."
The psyker's investigation methods are so advanced (che) and great (du) (zi) that Colonel Sahe said he couldn't understand them at all, but he could only believe them.
"To sum up, we can basically confirm that the remnants of the All Souls Cult and the main force of the Rumina rebels should be gathering there..." Colonel Sahe paused and then said: "Of course, this is just
The current situation!"
"Everyone can tell at a glance that the ancient city of Sero is deep into the mountains and jungles. What is currently shown is the buildings on the surface, and there are also a large number of buildings deep into the mountains. The situation is very complicated. If the enemy really takes up residence here,
We will have some trouble in a strong attack!" Brigadier General Lu Ben explained, with a flash of distress.
"Then, why not use orbital bombing?" a lieutenant colonel asked.
Yu Lian looked at the lieutenant colonel who asked the question and determined that this guy should be a new arrival like himself. Of course, unlike himself, the other person must not have done his homework properly.
The ancient city of Sero is considered to be the oldest and largest ancient building complex on the planet. It has a certain reputation in the galaxy. Before earth scientists discovered this planet, there were more than 200,000 people in this ancient city.
Lumina people live in it and it is their most prosperous city.
Of course, this was hundreds of years ago.
As the empire incorporated this place into its territory, the ruling Duke Tannhäuser felt that so many Rumina people who did not accept the king's status were really evil in the dense jungle. If they did not come out to work, he, the lord, would still be there.
What to eat? He drove them all out of the woods with half force and half inducement.
Imperial people have never been gentlemen who have gathered the seven virtues. In the process, they did a lot of cruel and fucked-up things.
The Rumina people don’t like the Earth people now, and they don’t like the government of the Blue Star Community, but at least at that time they really hated the Empire. For a long time, because of the common goal of hatred, the Earth people and Rumina
Na Ren actually has quite a bit of love.
"We were forced to leave our holy land, the home of our spirit and soul, and we turned our backs on our ancestors and the God of the Sky!" This is what the elders of Rumina said when they mentioned this period of history.
.
However, the so-called tradition is not worth mentioning in practical terms. What's more, the Rumina people's own civilization has just developed to the level of primitive polytheism, and there is actually no ideological unity.
In short, with the development time measured in centuries, most Rumina people have learned to settle in valleys and hilly areas with relatively convenient transportation. Although the ancient city of Thurro is still regarded by them as their ancestral home and spiritual home,
Except for a few priests, no one settled there.
However, it must be admitted that the large group of buildings surrounded by dense forests and sand ridges is a natural fortress-type city. It is really difficult to imagine how the Lumina people, who were still in the tribal alliance system back then, could complete
A building of this size was built.
This is really unscientific!
"Orbital bombing is not allowed! The ancient city of Thuro is a treasure of the community, and it is also a civilizational heritage belonging to the entire galaxy. It is a first-class interstellar cultural relic registered by the Galactic Civilization Council. If it is damaged! None of us can afford this responsibility!"
Brigadier General Lu Ben said.
Although it sounds a bit frustrating, this is the current situation of this universe. Since the existence of this huge ancient city is very unscientific, it is naturally very metaphysical. The Lumina people's own messy records are not so much history books.
Call it a myth.
As a result, some people in the academic field have even suggested that this ancient city is likely to be the legacy of the enlightened ones... Even if it is not, there must be a certain relationship.
Regardless of whether Yu Lian believes it or not, many big shots believe it anyway. I heard that the alliance is still arguing with the community government, and I hope we can study this together.
As for the community government, it seems really tempting.
All this was told to him by Yu Lian's current boss, Azisha Mallowan.
Obviously during the empire's rule, Duke Tannhäuser worked hard on this huge ancient city, but after spending so much money, he didn't get much research out of it, but everyone still didn't give up after all!
At this time, Brigadier General Lu Ben paused and said: "In addition...if the place is really destroyed, the Rumina people will really become disloyal."
As the brigadier general spoke, he glanced at Yu Lian with a very covert look. The latter knew that these words must have been specifically spoken to him, but they were indeed rare mature and prudent words, and he very much agreed with them.
"So... not only orbital bombing, but also heavy weapons cannot be used casually." Colonel Sacher continued to introduce the combat plan.
The operational plan of the Garrison Command is actually very simple. The 141st Marine Corps Brigade will be the main force, and together with warships in orbit and aircraft in the atmosphere, they will complete the blockade of the entire ancient city of Thuro and the great forest, and launch an exploratory attack on the ancient city.
, try to find out the enemy's combat strength as much as possible.
In addition, the police team cooperated with the operation to "sweep" all Lumina settlements that did not cooperate with the government's work...
Yes, Colonel Sahe did use this word, and Yu Lian almost couldn't help but want to twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Colonel, can you explain what this sweep means?" Feifei asked.
"Of course we need to find out who are loyal citizens of the Community and who are supporters of the rebels. Don't worry, many lieutenants, guardsmen and marines grew up here and will not mess around. All of us
All actions will be carried out within the scope permitted by the laws of the community." The colonel explained kindly: "Our main purpose is to find a secret passage into that ancient city... I don't know if it exists.
However, we have actually blocked that city for some time, but they are still insisting on it. So, we can only consider it from this aspect."
Feifei nodded expressionlessly.
"The above is the entire battle plan. Do you have any questions?" Colonel Sahe glanced around the conference room with sharp eyes. Seeing that all the middle-level officers were showing high morale, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at Yu Lian again.
His eyebrows seemed to twitch unnaturally, but he still forced out a humble and sincere smile: "So, Captain, what are your opinions..."
The so-called central commissioners, to put it bluntly, are military advisors sent by the military headquarters to local troops. Yu Lian really has the right to make suggestions, and even has the right to make irresponsible remarks on all combat plans.
"Your battle plan is already perfect! I don't have any special opinions!" Yu Lian said with a smile.
Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sahe were both a little startled, probably because after spending most of their lives in the military, they had never seen such a reasonable commissioner.
At this time, Yu Lian said again: "Of course, there is indeed a little immature suggestion here."
The two of them seemed to be relieved again, thinking that it was coming, it was coming.
"We must be cautious about the exploratory attack on the ancient city of Thuro, and there is no need to force any results! In comparison, the raids on the surrounding Lumina people's settlements... Well, you can also be as cautious as possible, but it will take a little longer.
, please try your best not to wrongly accuse an innocent person." Yu Lian looked at everyone with a smile: "This time, the official is indeed here with a mission, but the biggest mission is to give everyone a reassurance. Since it has been
Once the location of the enemy is determined, it is only a matter of time to deal with them. Therefore, there is no need to rush, just proceed steadily and cautiously."
"Steady, steady? Prudent?"
"Yes, after all, the lives of soldiers are also very precious. If you can force the enemy to surrender during a long siege and defeat them without fighting, then that is the best art of war!" Yu Lian said seriously!
, and then pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice a little: "Everyone present is a senior officer of our army, so I will say...According to the opinion of the Earth Headquarters, even the All Souls Religion, except for their leader Wanda,
In addition, their bishops, high priests, etc. are all negotiable. So, everyone understands, right?"
After being stunned for nearly half a minute, Brigadier General Lu Ben finally showed a sudden smile: "I understand, Captain, we can also start the work of persuading surrender at the same time."
"So, before you..." Colonel Sahe was still a little hard to accept.
"Before what?"
"It's what I said in my previous interview with Son of Blue. If you want to kill tigers, you don't want to catch flies..."
"Hey, isn't Flores Wanda the biggest tiger? When compared with him, aren't others just flies?"
"That's fair, fair, fair..."
"We cannot let the ordinary people of Rumina be wronged. This is fair! We cannot let the soldiers sacrifice in vain. This is also fair! More importantly, we cannot impose difficulties on others and force you to advance easily. We must respect your command authority and respect everyone.
Judging the situation, this is greater fairness!"
That’s how it was explained!
"Besides, who is a decent person who would tell the truth in front of reporters?"
As soon as Yu Lian opened his mouth, he felt the sharp gaze on his back. Then he realized that Feifei seemed to be a reporter too, but he could only open his eyes wide and take a look. His big and bright eyes were very friendly, and his face was full of energy.
He said sincerely: "In short, let's go step by step at your own pace. Don't be nervous, really!"
As soon as these words were said, the officers present looked at Yu Lian with friendlier eyes, and were even a little moved. If all the Central Special Agents were like this, the Milky Way society would have been unified!
However, Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sacher were not fools after all. Although they nodded gratefully, the smiles on their faces looked awkward, and they obviously did not believe it.
Yu Lian continued: "...As for the war, I leave it entirely to you. After all, I'm new here. I still need to do some research and probably take a look around."
Everyone's expressions stiffened again, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be tense again.
"Haha, don't worry, everyone, I mainly want to see the situation at the Red Maple Factory... Hehe, it's time for this factory to get back on track!" Yu Lian showed an embarrassed expression: "So that everyone knows,
There are still many people interested in Red Maple Factory."
Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sacher looked at each other, really confused about the current situation. So, they had no choice but to continue smiling.
