Chapter 22: The Raid Plan
Xiao Yan returned to the pilot's lounge on the hangar deck with a stomach full of food and legends. Here he can see the maintenance of the entire hangar, and when there is no test task, Xiao Yan is there alone for a while.
The experience at the dinner table just now reminded him of something that had been overlooked before.
This world is a universe where technology and psionic energy blend. In this universe full of magical powers, Xiao Yan's current identity is a Templar, and the official mission is to protect Sonya's safety. In general, his position is relatively neutral, with no preference for either Bayerland or the Trade Union.
However, the fact is that since the plane world is tasked with preventing Bayeran's surrender or destruction, Xiao Yan's direct involvement in the war has played a huge role, and he may wipe out more Trade Alliance armies in the foreseeable near future.
Due to the mystery of the Templar Order, the Burrenhill could not provide the information that Xiao Yan wanted. Because of the war and distance, he had no way to contact the Templar headquarters directly, and even if he did, he didn't know how to explain his actions.
What should he do if suddenly one day the Knights Templar received an order asking Xiao Yan to stop intervening in the war......
"Griffith, are you there?" At this time, Sonya's slender shadow appeared at the door, "Huh~ What kind of smell is this?" Are you spoiled? ”
"The smell of engine oil~" Xiao Yan sat up from the sofa, "There are still many flaws in the structural design of the mobile uniform, in order to speed up the adjustment, I and the maintenance soldiers can only go in and replace it by themselves." ”
"It's such a blessing~ No wonder the other officers have strange eyes when they talk about you debugging with the ground crew," the girl took out a small lunch box, "Eat?" The cranberry sandwich I brought you with cheese, bacon, grilled chicken breast, and baked apple. Delicious! ”
"I'm full, but there's not too much cranberry or anything!" Xiao Yan took the sandwich and took a big bite, "The ground soldiers and marines mainly eat strange beans, bread and canned meat, and there are almost no fresh vegetables and real meat~ The difference in treatment between people in this world is really big!" ”
"What world isn't like that?" Sonia tilted her head as she watched the boy gobble down the sandwich, "I brought you the briefing you wanted." ”
Xiao Yan took the personal terminal handed by Sonia and glanced at it quickly: "This is the condition proposed by the Trade Alliance?!! ”
In a few short lines, the Trade Union demanded that the Principality of Bayeran disarm unconditionally, accept the garrison, be exempt from customs duties, and hand over to the Trade Union the results of the research on telepathy and space technology.
Isn't this a demand for unconditional surrender...... If we accept it, we will fail in our mission.
"The principality probably didn't bother to respond," Xiao Yan shook his head, "Have you understood the situation before the war?" ”
Sonia sat down beside Xiao Yan, and then swiped the display screen of her personal terminal: "Before we started this mission, the Principality of Bayeran had made breakthroughs in materials science, engines, communications, and telepathic technology, but its overall strength was far from reaching the level that could shake the Trade Alliance.
"And the alliance itself not only has a strong material and fleet, but also a large number of seats in the Senate that it actually controls. The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
However, the invasion also made other forces in the Senate very unhappy. According to Marshal Tyrion, many forces lobbied for decisive measures to curb the expansion of the trade alliance and to disarm them. ”
It will be too late to wait for the parliament to vote on it...... Xiao Yan shook his head: "It seems that we can only count on Bayeran's Space Fleet to gain an advantage on the battlefield and give Marshal Thyrion and ...... Create a favorable situation with the senator named what. ”
"Senator Hasting," said Sonia, "is from Bayeran, a well-known politician who was for a time the Prime Minister of the Principality, is now 60 years old, and has many friends in Parliament, in business, and in the military. ”
A picture of Senator Hastings appeared on the screen. With gray hair, a kind countenance, and a glint of wisdom in his eyes, he can make a very good impression at first sight.
Xiao Yan looked at the photos carefully, nodded and said, "If there is still time after the mission of this world is completed, we can go to the capital city of Chloja for a tour, and meet this senator and the Templar Order by the way." ”
……
The Brenhill formation arrived at the Celestial Domain, not too far from the planet Anduin, and lurked with the help of a meteorite belt.
Xiao Yan, Sonya, and the officers gathered on the bridge to discuss the final battle plan. Vice Captain Faphnir briefed everyone on the enemy's disposition: "There is a defense fleet in Anduin's orbit, a total of six frigates. The closest Trade Alliance main fleet to them is more than two days away, and it will be easier for us to gain the advantage after launching a surprise attack, but we can't afford to delay too long. ”
"The commandos entering Anduin include an advanced reconnaissance assault team led by Captain Ishthar and Lieutenant Midianmaya, and the Griffith Knights also landed with them." Captain Mugel finally checked the list of personnel, "Mr. Knight, do you really want to go with you?" The ground is too dangerous after all, and the stalkers are more effective in the universe. ”
"That's right, I'm going to land together," Xiao Yan said very insistently, "Dr. Hakase and the Trade Alliance have probably secretly developed mobile armor, and in order to ensure that they are captured or destroyed, I need to visit the Governor's Mansion in person." And the strength of the enemy's orbital fleet is not too strong, and the Brenhill battle group is enough to deal with it easily. ”
Lieutenant Midianmaia stepped forward and confirmed the course of action once again with the captain's permission: "Our primary objective is to raid the Governor's Palace of Anduin, destroy the command facilities there, and then direct the fleet to orbital bombardment, destroying the research and development equipment and mobile equipment (if any) on the planet; According to the intelligence, the secondary targets, Dr. Hakase and Kami, are hiding in the Doge's Palace, and we will arrange for special personnel to carry out the attack. ”
"Governor Anduin hasn't raised his alert level," Ar Captain Ophelia of the Dichromic Eyes said to everyone, "Our agents report that the Anduin Desert Rally will be held the day after tomorrow, and the winner will be honored with an audience and a medal from the Governor himself. This will be the perfect opportunity for us to infiltrate the Doge's Palace. ”
"Will there be a rally at this time?" Sonia asked, "Isn't this wartime?" ”
"Due to the Trade Alliance's blockade and suppression of the Bayerland Space Fleet, the war has not spread beyond the Bayerland system," Captain Violet explained, "The Trade Alliance has a large number of member planets and allies in all corners of the universe, and if each one were to defend it, it would interfere with their normal lives. It is clear that the Anduin people do not want to interfere with their lives for the sake of war in distant galaxies. ”
Xiao Yan nodded, turned to Ophelia and asked, "What kind of flying car~ can you tell me in detail?" ”
