Solar system, Earth, around 9 p.m. Beijing time, Atlantis Island Spaceport.

On a sightseeing platform, hundreds of invited media and dignitaries from all over the world are looking at the starry sky through a transparent crystal protective cover.

In stark contrast to the dignitaries of various countries, dressed in different costumes, there was a small group of about ten people in the crowd.

The black straight military uniform, as well as the straight standing posture, undoubtedly explain the identity of these people.

They all have a very eye-catching logo on their chests, the logo is based on the blue planet, and the black outline of the five continents refers to the earth, and outside the planet, there is a ring of golden halo around, which means the guardian of the earth.

This emblem is already well-known on Earth, and it is the military emblem of the Earth Defense Force!

Looking at the ranks of these officers, the lowest is also a four-bar level 4 officer, yes, you heard it right, the Earth Defense Force has fully introduced the hierarchy of the virtual world, so it is not surprising that people are called "N-level privates" and "N-level officers".

The Earth Defense Force is too deeply influenced by the ghost captain, and the combat mode of virtual reality technology is also very different from the traditional war model, so after thinking twice, the decision-making level of the Earth Defense Force still decided to incorporate the military rank system into the comprehensive electronic and virtual "ghost system" to better connect with the virtual combat platform.

Although Captain Ghost's attitude towards the Earth Defense Force can be said to be a model of the "Five Principles of Non-Interference", even the most critical personnel appointment power looks like he lacks interest, and he doesn't even put a "person of his own" in it.

But Nie Yun's influence on the Earth Defense Force can be described by the words "rule by inaction"!

Although the Earth Defense Force currently nominally belongs to the United Nations, and the right to appoint personnel is basically in the hands of the five major powers, it is unceremonious to say that as long as the five major powers do not work together to fight against Captain Ghost, Nie Yun's influence on the Earth Defense Force is definitely No. 1!

During the Republic of China, according to the source of foreign equipment, it was called "American Mechanic", "German Mechanic", and "Soviet Mechanic".

In addition to personnel, the weapons and equipment, communication and command systems, and combat platforms of all units of the Earth Defense Force are inseparable from the technical support of Captain Ghost.

Even the Infinite Coin, which is used as military expenses, is a credit note issued by Captain Ghost's private company......

To some extent, the Earth Defense Force is simply an armed force supported by Captain Ghost, and even the squeaky nest is covered with the brand of the ghost system......

At present, the opponent in Nie Yun's eyes is only a force in Gemini, so he only needs to use the mission release system and unlimited coin incentives, and the Earth Defense Force will definitely fight wherever it wants, and it will also have a unique sense of honor!

However, as an Earth Defense Force labeled as a "guardian of the earth", its status is also quite delicate.

Judging from the position of the small group of more than a dozen people, it is obviously incompatible with the political leaders of the surrounding countries, and even has some meaning of its own.

At the front of this team of high-ranking officers, three middle-aged men of different skin colors were talking, it was the troika of the Earth Defense Force, and they were the only three Level 5 commanders in the Earth Defense Force at present.

Don't look at Lv5 as a rookie who can't even come out of a novice village in an ordinary game, but for the Earth Defense Force, which has just formed an army and has only experienced three major wars in total, military merit is definitely a scarce resource.

These officers above level 4 in front of him are almost all the senior officers within the defense force.

"Alas! I don't think I should have come here in this uniform......" Schneider couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the attitude of the people around him towards his group.

Most of the personnel within the defense force are soldiers who have received patriotic education since childhood, and from the heart, Schneider is still a soldier loyal to the United States, and his loyalty is beyond doubt.

However, in principle, the Earth Defense Force must be under the command of the United Nations, not the private army of a certain country, so it is necessary to "avoid suspicion".

As the senior commanders of the Earth Defense Force, the three of them must not show obvious political leanings, and must strictly maintain neutrality.

"That's just right! I hate these politicians with bad stomachs the most! If you want me to say, now the earth should be under military control! Yuri glanced around, disdainful.

Whether it is for their own interests or to protect the general interests of all mankind, the officers of the Earth Defense Force are, at least on the surface, diluting the imprint of nationality on their bodies, and instead forming a whole and becoming an important military force on the planet that is rapidly rising.

There are mixed feelings and worries about this situation, but the attitude towards this armed force has begun to become ambiguous.

On the one hand, the countries hope that this army will grow and strengthen the military power of the countries of the planet.

After all, whether it is a twin star or a ghost captain, the military gap between himself and the other party is too big, and if he falls behind, he will be beaten, and no one wants to be a "Doudou", right?

The development of the defense force has become larger, not only the security of various countries is more guaranteed, but also the advanced military weapons and military concepts of the ghost captain can be absorbed, and it will become a testing ground for the "space army" in the new era, which can be described as a lot of benefits.

But on the other hand, they are afraid of the development and growth of this army, and the reason is actually very simple - "support the army and respect itself"!

Chen Qiao's mutiny, the yellow robe, countless cases tell us that the result of supporting the army and self-respect is often uncontrollable, and the tail is too big to fall.

The Earth Defense Force has really grown stronger, so whose arm is it?

"It's unlikely to be your own ...... anyway" is an idea that every country has.

After all, more than 200 countries, and the many factions are no longer enough to explain the complexity of this organization, if you want to fully integrate it with the power of one person, I'm afraid that only the legendary god of war will be reincarnated, right?

"Ahem! Be careful, be careful! Harmonious! Harmonious development is the last word! General Hu patted his head and whispered a little speechlessly.

Knowing that governments are wary of themselves, if this is spread, it will not be conducive to unity......

The three giants of the defense force all have their own positions, and they also have their own set of principles for doing things, Schneider can't cross the national interest, Yuri is a little tough, and General Hu is the lubricant of both sides, abiding by the mean, and often talking about people don't offend me, I don't offend people.

Through a few words of dialogue, it can be seen that compared with when the defense force was first established, the three of them obviously have a tacit understanding at this time.

We are the guardians of the planet and should unite against the invasion of foreign invaders!

The officers of the Earth Defense Force will say such slogans every day to boost morale, and if the slogan is said again, it is formalism, and if it is said a thousand times and ten thousand times, it is brainwashing!

It is said that "carrying a gun together" is the first of the four irons in life, and the battlefield is the best melting pot, which can make people forget their origins and skin color, and the automatic translation system of simultaneous interpretation finally helps them forget their own language.

Even if their positions are still different, the three undoubtedly have common interests that overlap, and they naturally get along more and more harmoniously.

"Look! Here it comes! At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone didn't need to be reminded by him, because a dazzling pillar of light had already crossed a long distance from the void, reflecting a long line of brilliant light and shadow on the transparent crystal glass cover......

"The Atlantis Spaceport 1 and 2 energy transport lines have been completed, the equipment is functioning normally, and the energy reception is normal...... The energy transmission loss is 9%, and the energy obtained per unit time is 8366474627.54 kilowatts...... The energy reserve of the spaceport continues to increase, and the ......" sounded the brain-prompt of the spaceport.

The energy receiving tower built in the center of the spaceport was already bathed in high-energy beams, and everyone was shocked by this scene for a long time.

Schneider's retina was projected with the light that stretched into the endless void, and his expression was a little dazed, and he muttered to himself.

"Project Prometheus...... Humanity's Energy Revolution...... It's really like a ...... O light of God......"
