Chapter 40: Dawning Base

The only station of the Southwestern Federal Army in Lafite.

This is a military base firmly surrounded by a fifteen-meter-high alloy wall, and the perimeter of the base is exposed with a cold light, and the one-meter-long alloy nail anti-mecha anti-mecha charge steel plate has all been turned up.

Even if a heavy-mounted ramming mech collided with this alloy nail with a diameter of 30 centimeters and a length of nearly one meter, it would never feel good.

This is still visible to the naked eye, the perimeter of the base is leveled, and the land with a length and width of 2 kilometers is buried under the ground, and I am afraid that only the supreme commander of the base knows how many anti-mecha mines are buried.

The muzzle of the alloy wall-mounted auto-fire energy cannon shook as the detection radar swayed from side to side, and the muzzle as thick as an adult's arm was not large, but it was enough to spew out an ionic beam that made the mecha energy shield shudder. It doesn't take much, just three shots are enough to turn the energy shield from a protective light blue to a crimson that all mechists are afraid of.

And such energy cannons, on the alloy walls of the entire military station, have up to 20 guns. On the ground inside the alloy wall, a missile launcher has already ejected from the ground, and under a saturation attack, in addition to the huge starship that broke into the atmosphere, even a high-speed air and space fighter can only hate it on the spot.

Although there are no more than forty mechs in the mecha infantry company belonging to the Southwest Federation on Lafite, relying on this well-defended military base, it can also withstand the attack of more than two mecha battalions.

Moreover, that refers to the regular troops, like the large and small air pirates on Rafite Star, although there are more than 200 mechas, they are also actively looking for a type to attack this military base. Not to mention that there is no way that anyone can twist all the air pirates into a single rope.

In other words, the most powerful military strength on Rafi is still in the hands of the Southwest Federation.

However, looking at the current state of military garrisons, it is obvious that they have entered a posture of first-level alert for the whole army.

At this time, in the intelligence room set up underground at the military base, Major Qin Chong, as the commander of the military station, was listening to the reports of the two captains under him.

"Sir, according to the photos taken by the military satellite before nightfall, there are three groups of air pirates chasing a large box truck with the logo of the Nierao air pirate gang in the sandstorm, and the direction of the box truck escape is coming towards our military base. We have reason to believe that it was the people of our Federation who landed on the planet Lafite through the rescue capsule of Hangzhou, and only they would choose to move closer to our Dawning military base. I requested that a lightly armed reconnaissance platoon be sent to the rescue, and that the mission be completed early tomorrow morning and return to the base as quickly as possible. "It was Ye Xiaozhou, the platoon leader of the lightly armed reconnaissance platoon, who spoke.

This was the third time he had asked Major Qin Chong, the supreme commander of the base, to fight.

And this time, he even pulled his friend Zhang Wuhui, the commander of the heavy assault platoon. Obviously, he has already been hunted down by the air bandit gang for the people of the Federation, and as a federal soldier, he can only sit back and watch the situation no longer bear.

As the supreme commander of the only military base in the Southwest Federation on Lafite, Major Qin Chong, who is nearly 35 years old, is obviously much calmer than Captain Ye Xiaozhou, who is no more than 25 years old.

Although there was some bitterness in his heart, the expression on his face was indifferent.

This is his third year on Rafite, a planet that the Federation has been forced to abandon, and he is certainly aware of the situation on Rafite. As many as dozens of air pirates have set up bases in hidden places such as jungles, deserts, and mountains on Rafite, relying on these bases to dispatch starships to rob smuggling cargo ships passing by in the airspace near the third star field.

And then through the black market similar to the "black market" in the town where the original aborigines or outsiders gathered, all kinds of material transactions are carried out, forming a unique Lafite Star trading chain, and there are even some large consortia, manipulating some shady transactions.

Even if it is their base, every year people will go to those underground black markets, exchange some things unique to Lafite, and even luxury goods that they will never get their hands on, and send them to their families in the Federation.

It may sound strange at first glance that the federal soldiers would trade with air pirates and the black market, and that all kinds of filthy forces should not interfere with the water of the river, but this is a cruel and unchangeable fact.

Rafi itself is an abandoned planet, and according to an agreement made a hundred years ago, it was classified as a star field where no troops could be stationed. In order to ensure that the people of Rafi and the Third Star Domain could not be stationed in the army, the people here would be destroyed by the enemy in some unsightly ways, so they completely relocated the population, industry and commerce.

Rafi, for a hundred years, has been anarchy. Including their military base, to put it bluntly, symbolic is greater than practical. Their mission is not to become police officers to maintain law and order, but their only purpose is to serve as an outpost of the Federation that is still marked as a frontier on the star map, and only play a symbolic role representing the boundaries of the Federation.

Perhaps only the neighboring Jeppen Empire invaded in a big way, and it was its only military function to be bravely and fearlessly counterattacked and turned into cannon fodder by the only military base on Rafi, which the general himself named "Dawn" a hundred years ago.

If there is a war, they will die, which is the fate of all soldiers at the Dawn Military Base.

This is also an important reason why all the military ranks of the Dawning Military Base are one or even two levels higher than those in the Federal Army. The two captains in front of Qin Chong, if they were placed in other units, could even command a mecha battalion to fight, but here, because of the limitation of troops, they could only command one mecha platoon separately.

And he himself, from an unknown captain head of the ordnance repair station, was transferred to this most marginal military base of the Federation that no one wanted to come, so that he was able to cross the most difficult hurdle from lieutenant to colonel, and became a 35-year-old "old major".

Originally, Qin Chong had already prepared to mix for another year, and he could return to the Federation with the results of four years of service in the frontier, and before that, it should be a matter of course to be promoted to lieutenant colonel.

However, three days ago, a middle-aged man who escaped to Raffei via a smuggling boat and sent a distress signal to the Dawning military base through the federal military's highest-level code, shattered the backwater calm of the military base.

After receiving the news of the middle-aged man who had escaped from the Jeppen Empire, a non-surprising deputy station commander at the wormhole monitoring checkpoint near Rafi quickly arrived at the base a day later with the highest certification of the Federal Security and Secrecy Service, and obtained the supreme command of the military base after obtaining permission from the direct superior of the "Dawn" military base, --- the Southwest Military Region.

All the soldiers in the base, including Major Qin Chong, if it involves the safety of the middle-aged man who carries major secrets, Liao Shaoqian, the intelligence officer of the Federal Security and Secrecy Service, is in charge. In addition to developing a specific battle plan.

Surrender command of the Federal Army to an intelligence officer of the Security and Confidentiality Service, even if it's just a mech infantry company. There is only one possibility for the federal army, and the safety of the middle-aged man who is not amazing is even related to the national security of the entire federation, which is the supreme command organ of the federal army--- the general staff is also recognized.

This shows the importance of the middle-aged man from the fact that they were so cautious after their arrival that they were reluctant to take the starship that impulse monitoring checkpoints to bring back personnel and supplies, and would rather wait on Rafi for the FSS special starship sent by the Southwest System.

The people of the Security and Confidentiality Bureau don't trust anyone under this starry sky, they only believe in themselves.

Qin Chong even suspected that he didn't even believe in the garrison of the Dawn Base, if it weren't for the middle-aged man's first choice to contact the military base through the military code, the military base would still be as calm as ever, and he would be ignorant of the terrifying enemy that was coming.

The request of the two captains was obviously not something he could decide alone.

Although he also desperately wanted to agree to his subordinates' request to fight.

In this base, he was the only one who had seen the resolute figure of the admiral.

"Do your best, if you can't, then put national affairs first." The voice was still in his ears, and it was difficult for Qin Chong not to admire such a general.
