More than a month has passed since Qin Hao re-enlisted, and during this time, although Qin Hao served as the battalion commander of the 1st Special Forces Battalion, he and his troops have always stayed on the Federation Glory and have not been put on the ground battlefield.

Qin Hao had mentioned the matter of the Zerg Imperial Clan to Lieutenant General Cohen before, which made Lieutenant General Cohen even more jealous of the Zerg.

However, since Vice Admiral Cohen's withdrawal request was rejected by the High Command, he cannot withdraw his troops now, and can only continue to stalemate on the Alpha Star battlefield, and he has recently received a communication from the Third Fleet that the Third Fleet, which has been recuperated, will arrive at the Alpha Star Gravity Well in the near future.

"Hey!" Lieutenant General Cohen sat in his command chair and sighed, the recent battle on the Alpha Star has been relatively stalemate, the ground battlefield has been under great pressure, and under the influence of Qin Hao, Lieutenant General Cohen, who is unwilling to continue to fight, has to give up a few less important landing points and concentrate all his forces in three areas.

"Thundering Canyon, Isis Beach, Red Plateau ......" Lieutenant General Cohen muttered to himself, these three places are the only three large bases of humanity in Alpha Star, and the rest are dozens of small strongholds, which are evenly distributed in the vicinity of these large bases, which are regarded as outposts of these bases.

"General Cohen, are you looking for me?" Qin Hao was ordered to come to the bridge.

"Hmmm! Take a look at the latest order of the High Command. General Cohen handed Qin Hao an order from the rear with a bitter face.

"They're just hilarious!" Qin Hao immediately turned his face after reading it, because the command actually gave a deadline order, allowing General Cohen to achieve a decisive victory within a hundred days.

"Hey!" General Cohen sighed, those guys in the rear didn't understand the situation at all, they only knew how to blindly press, as if as long as they pressed, the front line could achieve results.

"So what are we going to do now?" Qin Hao asked, he was just a guy from a big soldier, and he didn't know how to deal with these political things at all.

"What to do? Cold! Lieutenant General Cohen smiled helplessly, in the face of the pressure of those wealthy families, although he was the commander-in-chief of the front, he could not change the orders of the command, and the worst result of this matter for him was to be dismissed, and then go home like the previous General Rice.

But Vice Admiral Cohen is different from Rice, Rice is only worried about his own career, while Vice Admiral Cohen is worried about the officers and men of the Federal Navy, now he is the commander-in-chief of the front, and he can also adopt some conservative tactics to reduce the casualties on the front, in case he is suspended and replaced by a young radical general, then the casualties of the Federal Navy may skyrocket.

"But ......" Qin Hao was even more anxious in his heart, Vice Admiral Cohen was only worried about the casualties of the Federation Navy, but what Qin Hao was worried about was that the headquarters would be replaced by a stunned young man to command, in case the Bug Queen was angered, once the Zerg army poured out, or even took the initiative to attack from the Alpha Star, it would be a disaster for mankind.

"Forget it, Jimolov's Third Fleet is about to arrive, let's see what he thinks first." Vice Admiral Cohen shook his head, Rear Admiral Jimlov is the commander of the Third Fleet, he is over fifty years old and loves soldiers, he is a famous man in the Federal Navy, although the rank is not particularly high, and he does not serve in the High Command, but his influence in the Federal Navy makes the High Command have to pay attention to his opinion.

"Okay." Qin Hao nodded, he didn't know much about these bureaucratic things.

……

Almost a week later, Vice Admiral Cohen called Qin Hao to the bridge again.

"General, are you looking for me?" Qin Hao asked.

"We have been attacked by the Zerg near the Thundering Canyon, and now the front line is under great pressure, and I have sent the Eagle Falcon and the Viper frigates to support, but the strength of the four marine divisions may not be able to hold out." Lieutenant General Cohen said to Qin Hao that it was not that he didn't want to send more reinforcements, but because of the terrain restrictions of the Thundering Canyon, too many troops couldn't be used there at all.

"What do you mean?" Qin Hao asked.

"I don't want to play oil tactics with the Zerg, it's a very irrational behavior to fight with the bugs." Lieutenant General Cohen Qin Hao agreed very much, you must know that ordinary giant beetles are not worth anything at all, and even the insects themselves have to dispose of the excess ordinary giant beetles, so fighting with them is definitely a brainless behavior.

"So I want you to take the 1st Special Forces Battalion to support it, and then return to the fleet after the crisis is resolved." At this time, Lieutenant General Cohen had obviously regarded Qin Hao as a firefighter.

"General, can I take a look at the battle map?" Qin Hao did not directly agree.

"Good!" General Cohen nodded, and then the adjutant immediately called up the combat map of Alpha Star.

"Thundering Canyon ......" Qin Hao quickly found the location where the battle was tight, and at this time, there were large areas of red everywhere near the Thundering Canyon, which was the result of the ship's bioradar scanning, which meant that a large number of insect swarms had been hoarded near the Thundering Canyon.

"The terrain here is dangerous, and it is the strongest defense among the three major bases, so we can't afford to lose it no matter what!" Lieutenant General Cohen said.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded, this small valley is not very big, according to the results of ultrasonic scanning, the mountains and underground around this small valley are solid granite structures, which makes this a natural defense area, and humans can build a base here, completely ignoring the possibility of the Zerg attacking from the underground, which is a big problem for humans.

Moreover, this canyon only has two entrances, and they are very narrow, which makes it difficult for the large Zerg army to give full play to their advantages, so it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The most important point is that Qin Hao found that this Thundering Canyon was not very far from Prince Phoebe's territory, so it was very likely that the territory of the owner of this swarm was bordering Prince Phoebe's territory.

"Good! I took this task! Qin Hao nodded, if he could get the help of Prince Phoebe, then it shouldn't be a big problem to defend the base of the Thundering Canyon.

"Great! I'll just wait for your words! General Cohen laughed.

"General, when are we leaving?" Qin Hao asked.

"The transport ship is ready, and you are ready to go." General Cohen said.

"Okay, then I'll go and gather troops now." Qin Hao said.

"Wait a minute!" General Cohen stopped Qin Hao.

"Do you have any other commands?" Qin Hao turned around and asked.

"It's okay......" Vice Admiral Cohen swallowed back what he was going to say, he was just planning to leave Nicole on the Federation Glory, after all, the ground battlefield was too dangerous, but after thinking about it, he retracted his previous thoughts, because he believed that Qin Hao had the ability to protect Nicole, and this kind of friendship on the battlefield was the strongest.
