"We are Poseidon, and only we can master power."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded in approval, and even Major Conway, who had always been hippie and smiling, and rarely had a serious face, also reined in, raised his left arm together, and shouted in a low voice with the heel of his boot together: "Strength and loyalty!" ”

Yes, strength and loyalty. Astrid recited this Poseidon aphorism in her mind. Frankly, this organization that came out of the military of the pre-war Monica Kingdom has always adhered to the ideals of its founding, following the eternal tenets of the first Protestant Anglo-Saxons who came to the New World, and abiding by the tenets of this proud and invincible army. The only thing that has changed is the times and the people who live by this creed.

"Have a nice trip?" The officers gathered in this room naturally divided into small circles, but they were vaguely led by one of the bearded men, and only when Astrid walked in took away some of his brilliance. The man walked over and asked.

Of course, Astrid knew that Lieutenant Colonel Schlieffen was not asking about whether he had encountered ghouls on the way, and she replied lightly: "The Major's authority can handle the people who are watching me in Fort Benning, it's safe, I'm here in the name of purchasing spare parts from the pre-war world." ”

"Sounds suspicious, you're neither logistical nor R&D."

"Because I'm Astrid Josephine." Astrid propped her hands on the mapping table, looked at the map that was shiny by the lamp, and said, "I'm an all-metal slut, and everything I do makes sense." ”

Schlieffen laughed, his hand subconsciously patted Astrid on the shoulder and retracted it like a rocket, slightly embarrassed, "I heard that you never like people calling this." ”

"Of course, you're a bitch, you like that?" Astrid tilted her head to look, and the charm alone pierced Schlieffen and touched his nose.

"Papapa~" Schlieffen was determined to divert the topic, after all, Astrid's poisonous tongue was famous throughout Poseidon, he applauded to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Now I will ask Major Josephine to explain the process of this operation. ”

With a slight slide of Astrid's fingers, the contents of the 3D drawing table were immediately projected in front of everyone. She held the whip in her hand and pointed to a place on the projection wall with a "snap".

"This is the military trade market, 200 kilometers northeast of Benningbao, every Tuesday and Saturday there will be transport convoys between the two places, replenish the military trade goods, garrison supplies and send field personnel, starting from the military trade market, and then extend 600 kilometers to the north of the winding road, is a large settlement of the southern natives, we call it Atlanta, the natives call it the rushing fortress in the fortress of paradise."

Astrid smiled at Conway, "As for why there is the name Heavenly Fortress, I will ask Major Conway to explain the beauty carefully." ”

Everyone will laugh heartily, since Astrid woke up, her affair has not stopped, this woman with the title of "mecha Valkyrie" and "all-metal slut" at the same time has fascinated many conceited officers, Major Conway of the Maypot base is one of them, even if Astrid claims to be engaged, he persevered to chase here, and finally entered the Mayflower Club in a daze.

The Mayflower Club sounds like an ordinary officers' club, but the word Mayflower alone can understand what they want to uphold, these are all elite soldiers from the pre-war seed program, sticking to the pre-war philosophy and sticking to the pre-war life, and the changes they want Poseidon to make are easy to guess.

It's nothing more than more powerful.

"We can see that the forest sea that surrounds the base of Fort Benning and a series of heavenly forts is the forest sea, this terrain restricts the advance of the large army, and the mech division we rely on for a living will consume too much fuel and motorcycle hours when crossing the forest sea, and it is impossible to use the mech against a group of natives." A cold glint flashed in Astrid's eyes.

"That doesn't mean we don't deal with indigenous people."

The projection wall transforms into a three-view view of the rushing fortress, which was built on the ruins of pre-war Atlanta and is clearly not small, and even stands a ring of steel walls made of ruined building materials, counting the past can have more than a dozen streets in the past, although the residential and production areas are still mixed, but the potential contained in it is self-evident. Poseidon lacks almost everything, almost everything, and the biggest gap is not thought of, and that is people.

The labor gap is already large, and a bachelor like Astrid must be forced to marry to reproduce, Astrid's position in Poseidon can be described as extremely prominent, the proud protégé of Lieutenant General Williams, executive vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, can see what kind of eyes the childless lieutenant general under his knees looks at Astrid, and when a large number of awakened officers are thrown to the production line, only Astrid is put back in the mecha division, this signal is so strong that the blind man is also panicked.

But Astrid reluctantly got engaged.

There are more than 100,000 people living in the rushing fortress of the southern natives, and there are easily more than 200,000 people in the nearby area, even if it takes a hundred miles to select a native suitable for the Poseidon production line, it is also 2,000 Poseidon citizens who have been liberated into the fighting army. Anyone can settle such an account.

But some people can't figure it out.

The generals at the helm of Mayport, Fort Benning, Jacksonville, and Half Moon Bay have been surprisingly uniform for decades, full of unnourishing excuses such as "the surface radiation is too great for it" and "the aborigines are undereducated." Could it be that the information gathered by the Dispatch Force in the northern wasteland is all speculation? The Wasteland North has fought countless armored battles, which is also called inappropriate?

"The latest news is that the Rushing Fortress native army was wiped out by the Rust Devils in the Battle of Goearnsville half a month ago, and now that the Rust Demons have mastered the Rushing Fortress, this is a great opportunity." The trident banner on the projection wall, representing the Rushing Fortress, turned into a crossed-twin sword skull and merged into the black ocean to the south.

"We have enough troops to launch a surprise assault on the Rushing Fortress and hold it." Someone suggested.

"But the raiding troops will not get reinforcements, and the result must be withdrawn!" Astrid said coldly. "There is a precedent for this, just a few months ago, the U-Force in the field guarded the Fort Kent base, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff withdrew the U-Team, citing a lack of reserves, leaving only a few monitoring personnel."

"That's the north, it's too far away." The man argued.

"Indeed, that is the North, that is one of our largest bases in the North, which stores the raw materials for another world war, and now the news sent back by the left-behind personnel shows that the northern natives have broken through the first blast door and penetrated deep into the interior, and more construction machinery has been transported to Fort Kent, do you want to see the first day that our counteroffensive troops suffer a second defeat at Mothross?"

The man was silent, and Astrid stroked her forehead and said calmly, "There are some things that we think are right, and we should let them go." ”

"You want to go it alone?"

"Snort." This time it was Lieutenant Colonel Schlieffen who smiled, he glanced at everyone, and said slowly, "We won't attack the Rushing Fortress, we will make a deal with the Rust Demon Gang." ”

"What a sale."

"A deal that is enough for everyone present to be hanged for treason." Astrid added.

There was a soft sound of "click...... the door was locked, and Major Conway stood silently at the door, with his hands in his pockets, everyone was not a fool, and they knew what they were holding.

Astrid raised her head, her face as graceful as a Greek sculpture was not easy to look at in the cold light. "If you want to quit, you still have a chance," she said. ”

"Anyone?"

"Anyone?"

"Anyone?"

"Good." Astrid nodded, projecting the whole plan.

"In the first phase of the plan, codename: Orr, we will use the spies who are lurking in the north to expose our secret stronghold in the Heavenly Fortress, of course, it will be too inefficient and only knows how to eat money. This leaked to the Rust Demon to help us dispatch routes. We'll then use all our connections to pressure the Chiefs of Staff to send more troops to Fort Kent, which will be hand-picked conservatives, and the Rust Devils will be eager to eat up the reinforcements, and then get the next step we have deliberately planted. ”

"Why don't you just pass the news to the Rust Demon Gang, it's too costly."

"The cost of the sacrifice of a few inconsequential people will obscure the traces of our existence, and if we have direct contact with the natives of the South, it is very likely that the Coalition will speculate that the situation is out of the control of the old man."

"It's a necessary sacrifice." Lieutenant Colonel Schlieffen added.

"The second phase of the plan, codename: Dririch, after the reinforcements are ambushed, we can continue to use spies to induce the Rust Gang to brutally treat the captives, and send this news back to the headquarters, the Joint Staff will have to reorganize the army and launch an attack on the Rushing Fortress, this force will be carried out by the 27th Infantry Regiment of Fort Benning, and I will personally lead a small number of mecha troops to ensure that we lose this battle."

Astrid's eyelashes twitched, but that was the end of her tone, as if she were talking about an ordinary campaign plan rather than a conspiracy involving hundreds or thousands of lives. "The Joint Chiefs of Staff would rather endure a crushing defeat of a small reinforcement than carry out a battle that they don't seem to have a 100% chance of victory, especially the capture of the Rushing Fortress, which is beyond the supply lines, so we can only continue to increase the stakes and use two defeats to win more people to join the opposite side of the Chiefs of Staff."

"After two consecutive defeats, the Rust Demon Gang will surely find out where we are behind the military market, which will violate Poseidon's hidden principle, and the Joint Staff must respond and eliminate an indigenous force that poses a threat."
