The city of Denver in North America is home to a large number of HER elite troops, because this is the base camp of HER North American invading forces.

In the heavily guarded headquarters, Captain HER Sato knelt in front of a man who was admiring a Japanese sword, and said with tears in his eyes: "General Sasaki, please allocate me a unit, and I promise to take Portland, the base camp of the North American Rescue Alliance, in a month!" ”

Musashi Sasaki, who was called "General" by Captain Sato, was only in his 30s, the youngest of HER's generals. He asked Sato, who was kneeling, "What's wrong?" Sato-san, are you in such a hurry to make meritorious service? ”

Sato kowtowed: "My subordinates don't have the idea of being greedy for merit, but the day before yesterday, I contacted my former military academy classmates, and he laughed at our North American conquest army for staying on the West Coast for a few months without fighting, just to raise his own respect!" I don't want you, General, to be criticized like this! ”

General Sasaki withdrew the Japanese sword in his hand from the scabbard and picked up Captain Sato: "Sato-san, do you know why you have not been promoted to colonel?" ”

"My subordinates don't know, I hope the general will advise!"

"Because you're so stupid! Don't use your brains! With my character, how can I be willing to raise self-respect? How could His Majesty the Emperor tolerate me delaying the warplane? ”

Sato wiped away the snot and tears on his face and asked, "What do you mean..."

"Let me tell you, His Majesty the Emperor asked me not to fight the North American Relief Alliance on the West Coast. If we take North America too quickly, the forces in Europe, Africa, and Asia will be even more determined to confront us, and may even join forces. We still have the North American Rescue Alliance, and the other forces will be lucky. ”

Seeing Colonel Sato's admiring expression of believing this set of words, Sasaki Musashi felt funny in his heart. As the youngest general in the HER army, Sasaki has always been feared by the old people in the army. If he had taken North America earlier, I was afraid that he would have been transferred to an idle position, and how would he protect himself when he had no military power? His remarks were just one of the many slanderous remarks made by the old men in the army who hated him in front of Frederick the Great, and it happened to be used by Sasaki to deal with those hot-blooded and brainless subordinates.

"Okay Sato-kun, let's go down if there's nothing."

"Yes! Farewell! ”

Watching Captain Sato leave, General Sasaki sat down and looked at the map of North America. Suddenly, the phone rang. He impatiently asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, Captain Endo is back and wants to see you."

"Oh... Let him in. ”

Sasaki Musashi put down the phone and glanced at the report on the table about the enemy occupation of the mines in New Jersey, then got up and picked up the Japanese knife handle he had just recovered and played with it.

"General! My subordinates are incompetent, please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

Captain Endo ran in crying and knelt in front of Sasaki, almost the same as Captain Sato who was crying just now.

Sasaki asked without replying, "Captain Endo, who took your mine?" ”

"It's the local guerrillas, they don't deserve a damn thing. But the Osiris from Europe helped them, and they had two humanoid weapons that could use beam weapons, and the few troops under them were too much to handle. ”

"Are you blaming me for giving you too few troops?"

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Sasaki flipped through the report on the table and asked, "Endo-kun, I heard that one of the two humanoid weapons that attacked the mine could use a laser battle axe, is it true?" ”

"It's true! General, I fled back in embarrassment after a sneak attack, if you give me another chance, I will definitely defeat the Osiris and those guerrillas, and give you the laser tomahawk as a trophy! ”

Captain Endo knew that General Sasaki loved swords, but Sasaki was unmoved, and he carried the Japanese sword on his shoulder and read: "138 killed, 164 captured, 34 missing." ”

"General, what you read is..."

Sasaki ignored him and continued: "4 Hawk Crane were destroyed, and 2 were captured. Deserter, 1 person! ”

When Captain Endo heard the general's reading of the deserters, his face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed like garlic and begged for mercy: "General! I..."

"No need!" Sasaki slammed the report on Captain Endo's face and said sharply, "If the other commanders escape, I will spare his life." But you turn on the international news to see your good deeds! Not only have you disgraced me, but you have also fallen into the injustice of the empire! If you kill yourself on the spot, you dare to run back and cry in front of me? ”

In a fit of rage, Sasaki raised his knife and stabbed at Captain Endo, who thought he was going to be killed, but Sasaki just took off his military cap.

"I really want to kill you with a knife, but His Majesty the Emperor will judge you in the capital. Believe me, the deserters in the army are shown to the public, so I might as well give you a stab now. ”

Sasaki asked someone to carry away the depressed Endo, and said to his secretary: "Doesn't Sato-kun seem panicked?" Give him the Taisho, let him fight the Osiris, and give me those two humanoid weapons to capture alive! ”

…

The Osiris is about to leave New Jersey and continue its westward journey, and Vice President Robert of New Osiiris is particularly pleased today. Because he showed his face in Sima Qian's previous report, it seemed that he commanded the Osiris to save the laborers in the mine. He thought to himself that when he returned to Europe, the next speaker would probably be his.

"Vice Speaker Robert, Captain Shepard is looking for you!"

A soldier takes him to Shepard, and on the way Robert mutters to himself, "Could it be that my performance in the news has upset the captain?" Is Shepard such a chicken-bellied person? ”

When he meets Shepard, he discovers that John, the leader of the local guerrillas, is also there, and Shepard asks Robert to sit down, and Captain John seems to have something to do.

"New O'Om, Deputy Speaker Robert and Captain Shepard, thank you for your help to our Sons of Liberty. We don't have anything to repay you, but here's a piece of information that maybe the new EU will be interested. ”

"What intelligence? It's so mysterious. ”

"We always thought that HER controlled the mines and captured refugees as laborers, just to get more ore to make humanoid weapons. But we found this while cleaning up the loot. ”

John took out a document and handed it directly to Robert, as if Shepard had read it.

John continued as Robert looked through the documents: "This report mentions that the special ores plundered by HER were to be transported to the city of Denver, regardless of quality or quantity. Transported into space via the spacecraft there, HER is making something in space called HAL. ”

“HAL？ What is it? ”

"There is no mention in the document, and the specific information appears to be confidential. However, the documents indicate that the HAL, once manufactured, can help HER win the war as quickly as it is devastated. ”

"Hmm..."

Deputy Speaker Robert put down the report with a sad face: "Our new EU is fighting against HER, if this HAL is really as terrible as theirs, it really needs to be taken seriously!" I will forward this document to the new EUDA, thank you for the information! ”

"Still." Captain Shepard interjected: "I'm afraid that what the HER is creating is not just targeting the new EU, I hope that the new EU can inform other forces about this through some channels, so that they can be prepared, can the Deputy Speaker?" ”

Rob nodded: "Don't worry, I will add this to the report, and I'm sure the people in the military department will think the same way." ”
