Billy. Bud took Lin Ao and the others into an auditorium built in a cave, and the exterior and interior walls of the hall were covered with murals, but unfortunately the color of the murals and even the walls themselves were very crumbling because of their age.

The interior of the auditorium had been converted into a makeshift operations department, with only a rudimentary long table except for the messy electronic equipment. Admiral Alain, who was dimin, welcomed Captain Shepard with a smile when he saw everyone coming in, and lamented yesterday's "accident". Shepard also lowered his face, and relived the days when he fought side by side in "Carthage" with Admiral Alain.

Admiral Alain cleared his throat: "I'm sorry to call you here, but the HER spies are arrogant right now. Last month, there was also an explosion in the city of Trabzon, in which two of my men were involved. ”

"It's a shame."

"But I'm glad that all of you on the Osiris have agreed to attack the HER forces entrenched in the Crimean Peninsula this time regardless of yesterday's 'accident' and my 'Macedonian' legion!"

"Crimea?" Lin Ao had heard of this place before.

Admiral Alan glanced at Lin Ao coldly, and then motioned for everyone to sit down first. His beautiful secretary put a holographic projector on the table, and after activating it, a holographic projection map of the Black Sea region appeared.

"Here." The beautiful secretary pointed to the Crimean Peninsula and began to introduce, "At the beginning of the war, HER sent a large number of airborne troops to seize the Crimean Peninsula, and then took control of Odessa, Moldova and other regions, and now its main forces are fighting with our army for the Romanian region in the northeast of the Balkan Peninsula." ”

"Why doesn't HER just go south and take full control of the Black Sea?" Anton asked.

"Because now our army is heavily defended in Istanbul, the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara. They can be forced by their strength, but it is very costly. ”

"At what cost?"

"The cost is that the forcible capture of these four sites will cause them to suffer a great loss of military strength and will not be able to defend against a counterattack by our army on the Crimean peninsula. So now HER's strategy is to take full control of the Black Sea by land and sea after taking control of the Balkans. In addition......"

The beautiful secretary magnified the area on the eastern shore of the Black Sea.

"The eastern shore of the Black Sea is still under the control of the Principality of New Moscow (TPM), and although the two powers have long declared war, there has been no conflict on Earth. If the HER military is damaged, the TPM will launch a full-fledged operation against it at any time, leaving the HER vulnerable in the Black Sea. However, TPM now wants to develop domestic affairs and does not intend to provoke HER. ”

"But." Billy of the New European Union. Brigadier Budd took over the conversation, "Last night our soldiers joined forces with the crew of the Osiris to crush HER's plot to attack TPM's harbor with a new type of underwater humanoid weapon, and then blame our army. It shows that now HER intends to let TPM and our army compete with each other and consume strength,"

"Will TPM be so easy to take the bait?" Anton asked.

"The new EU has a lot of grievances with TPM, which is hard to say."

The beautiful secretary zooms the map back to the scale at the beginning, and this time several arrows appear on the map, representing the next counterattack route of the new European Union. One of the routes that caught Shepard's eye was an offensive along the eastern shore of the Black Sea.

"It's ......"

Seeing Shepard's expression change, Admiral Alain looked proud: "We informed TPM of HER's conspiracy information, and in return, they allowed our army to pass through the sea area under their control after three days. In this way, the main forces of our Navy and the main forces of the HER went to war in the central area of the Black Sea, and the army hit the Odessa region that attacked the HER. And all of you of the Osiris, together with the submarine forces of our army, will surprise the HER base camp on the Crimean peninsula along the eastern coast of the Black Sea! ”

……

"Sure enough, the most troublesome thing was handed over to us, is HER's base camp said that you can take it down?"

Anton complained as he drove the jeep back to the city.

"Anyway, we were originally here for HER, and this operation may be a major blow to HER." Captain Shepard said.

"Are we all going to have to listen to the new European Union in the future?"

Shepard shook his head vigorously: "Just this time, I don't want to be calculated by Alain's 'old fox' again. ”

The jeep was about to drive back to the port, but the four people saw that three people who looked like reporters were stopped outside the port sentry.

A beautiful Asian reporter with short hair held up the microphone and almost stabbed the sentry guard in the face.

"Why aren't I allowed to interview the crew of the Osiris!?"

"Ma'am, there's no Osiris here, please go back!"

The female reporter pointed to the Osiris parked in the harbor and asked, "What's that?" You put a sea-colored cloth on the ship, thinking you can fool the HER satellites, but you can't fool my eyes! ”

"Ma'am, if you don't go back, I'm going to detain you!"

"You're interfering with freedom of the press!"

"There is no freedom in times of war!"

Captain Shepard got out of the car, walked up to the female reporter and introduced herself: "Hello ma'am, I am Shepard, the captain of the Osiris. Donnie, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. ”

The short-haired female reporter's eyes lit up, and she looked Shepard up and down, convinced that it was the captain of the Osiris, and handed out her business card.

"I'm Sima Qian, a reporter for the 'Global' news network, and these two are photographer Thucydides and assistant Herodotus."

Thucydides, the photographer, and Herodotus, the assistant, saluted Shepard.

"The Osiris did not hesitate to betray the colonial satellite council of Mycenae and to stand out independently against the atrocities of the HER. I was so touched that I wanted to be able to interview the Osiris with the ship! ”

Shepard scratched his chin and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm welcome to board the ship!" ”

Sima Qian and the others looked at each other: "You...... Agreed so easily? Not worried that we'll cause trouble to your ship? ”

"Although the Osiris betrayed the Parliament, it did not betray the people of Mycenae, and I want to convey this to the universe through you. Further, now that more and more colonies are surrendering to the HER out of fear, I hope that the Osiris will inspire those who have not yet given up their resistance! ”

"I'll trouble you from then on!" Sima Qian smiled.

"However, all of your interviews and shoots are subject to our review, and there are restrictions on the areas you can enter, so all interviews must be booked first. This is done to avoid the leakage of military secrets, and I hope you understand. ”

"I understand that all of our interview documents, the Osiris, can be interrogated at any time!"

Anton raised his forehead and said: "In the future, it will be even more sad......"
