Apocalypse Chapter 66 - "Jesus"
"Christina, get up, don't sleep." Zhang Chuanlan anxiously called Christina's terminal, but there was no response.
"Damn, every time you look for me, you come in and talk directly, and you don't even answer when I look for you." Complaining is complaining, Zhang Chuanlan still has to find a way to contact her.
In fact, there is no need to contact her, there is another person, who should be idle at the moment, thinking of this, he dialed the terminal in Paraná.
"Paraná, something is wrong."
"What's going on?" Parana is training on the Yellow Emperor.
"I went to Fleet Prison, and Rambo confessed that Shirley was his upline, but when I was spying on Shirley, I found out that she was attacked by someone from the Earth Defense Force." Zhang Chuanlan told Parana what happened as quickly as possible.
"That's weird, they don't say hello to us?"
"What's even stranger is that when they saw my spaceship, they hesitated, as if they wanted to attack me. I suspect it's Leslie behind the scenes. ”
"That's weird, Leslie has been making a lot of mistakes lately, what can he do?" Parana underestimated Leslie, a general who rose to power by nepotism, may not be as real as a lieutenant general.
"It's hard to say, we'll meet him."
"Will he? Where to? "Parana is not very senior in the military circles, and there are some things that he does not know enough.
"Jerusalem, where the Earth Defense Forces Command is. Leslie must have been there. Zhang Chuanlan straightened his collar and decided to ask him for an explanation in a dignified manner.
"I'm going to pick you up, with my Commander Whirlwind, the speed of the jump is relatively fast."
The ship landed in front of a church, and Paraná looked out the window, which seemed to have nothing to do with the military.
"Where is this? Chuanlan? Paraná began to call him by his first name.
"This is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, why, aren't you a Christian?" Zhang Chuanlan was a little strange, he thought that Paraná, an American, was a Christian.
"My father is Chinese, I am an atheist." Paraná shrugged, "So there's anything special about this place." ”
"Ah, the secret passage of the headquarters is not far from the door of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, this place is codenamed "Jesus", haven't you heard? "Zhang Chuanlan is a little strange, although these are the so-called zero-level secrets, that is, secrets that do not exist, but the position of the commander of the Parana fleet should have the right to browse.
"No, my ability is limited, and the Third Fleet is so anxious that I don't have time to watch the of the Earth Defense Force." Barana's words reflect the inexplicable superiority of being an officer in the fleet. This is due to the fact that new equipment, military funds, etc., are given priority to the combined fleet.
"Hey, don't underestimate these guys. Since Leslie became this commander, the defense force has become powerful and powerful, and the energy is not small. Zhang Chuanlan said in a joking tone, "Of course, we all know that this is actually Marshall's credit." ”
"That's how the world works. I can't interfere with these things I don't know, I can only manage my own fleet. Paraná was also quite dissatisfied with many of Marshall's practices, but what could he do. If he were to be the chairman, the earth would have to stop.
"Here it is, that's it." Zhang Chuanlan stopped in front of a low wall. "I'll see...... I should scan my ID card here......"
Don't underestimate this little card-like card. It integrates millions of anti-counterfeiting measures, and only this card symbolizes identity in an age when everyone can forge all sorts of biometric identifiers, such as fingerprints and iris.
"Commander of the Fifth Fleet, Admiral Zhang Chuanlan, welcome." A mechanical voice said.
"The efficiency of the defense force is quite low, how many days have passed, and the position has not changed." Parana swiped his ID card as well, and the mechanical voice announced his name.
"Just go in, we don't need to take care of the affairs of the defense forces." Zhang Chuanlan also has no good impression of the defense forces, but mainly because of the invasion of the party and the Chernobyl incident. As a commander who is very good at strategy, he cannot tolerate such a gaffe from his colleagues.
The low wall suddenly opened, and inside was an elevator that led to a thousand meters underground.
"The wall is too low." Parana saw Zhang Chuanlan bend down and get in, and he did the same, but he still couldn't help but complain, "Do the people of the defense force go to work like this?" ”
"Understand, after all, I work underground, as a groundhog." As a strategist, Zhang Chuanlan has a good understanding of every military power on the earth, although the Earth Defense Force and he are not the same combat system. The main force of the defense forces is the missile silos hidden on the surface. And the laser batteries and electromagnetic guns commonly used by the fleet are not suitable for long-range use in the atmosphere. In the last war, the Earth Defense Forces mainly provided fire support to medium and long-range space. The kind of missile silo manhole covers, which are usually covered with camouflage nets of the same color as the earth, and which suddenly erect once they are ready for war, are indeed too much like groundhogs.
The two stepped down the elevator. In front of them was a row of security channels, and the two showed their ID cards, and someone immediately saluted and welcomed them in.
"We swiped the card outside, and the people inside didn't even know about it, and they didn't prepare in advance, which was really rigid." Barana was young and vigorous, and he couldn't get used to their style.
"Understand," Zhang Chuanlan continued to play the round, "There is almost no danger to life in working in the Earth Defense Force, and the people here are relatives and friends of various senior officers, or the old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is already very good that they can have such efficiency." Did you know that the last time the Earth Defense Force went to Afghanistan to eliminate terrorists, it was from the Marine Corps of our Fifth Fleet? ”
"Seeing is believing, the defense forces are all such people, and it is not difficult to understand that there will be mercenaries suddenly appearing in the Golden Hall." Paraná sarcastically said, "No, who is in charge of the defense of the moon?" ”
"And to them. However, the execution of the division on the moon is even worse, and you will understand it once in person. Mr. Zhang didn't seem to want to talk about the experience.
"Why is this so long underground?" The two had been walking for several minutes, and Parana didn't expect the space to be so large underground.
"Leslie's command room is in the deepest part. There's still some way to go. Zhang Chuanlan looked at the rows of offices around him, which were no different from the decoration of an ordinary building. There are even windows, and the scenery simulated by holographic projection outside the window is in case the staff here feel oppressive and closed.
"Their stamina looks okay." Paraná muttered, "At least Leslie has a long way to commute to work." ”
"Alas, you are so naïve, Paraná." Zhang Chuanlan looked like a person who had come over, "Do you think Leslie will walk in, look around you, so many self-balancing car charging power supplies." They can't use combat armor here, so they retreat to the next best thing and use this old antique. ”
The two went all the way deeper, and the people around them gradually became scarce, and finally, when they reached the position near the end, there was no one around them.
"These people don't understand the rules, and they don't talk about introductions." Paraná was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Forget it, that's it here. We had to knock on the door ourselves. As he spoke, Zhang Chuanlan knocked on the door.
"It's strange, isn't there anyone in there?" There was no movement for a long time, and there was something strange about Paraná.
"Maybe they're all taking a nap." Zhang Chuanlan blurted out, as if this was taken for granted.
"Who!" The door opened a crack, and a young man poked his head out. Looking at his fat head and big ears, it seems that there is nothing serious to do here.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the United Earth Fleet, Zhang Chuanlan. Commander of the Vanguard Fleet, Paraná. Zhang Chuanlan was angry when he looked at such a military appearance.
"Don't blow it, I'm still the chairman of the board, Marshall. I don't know if the two commanders are here? The man looked at the two of them with an arrogant look.
"Stand down!" Leslie's voice rang out, as if he had just woken up, "You don't have long eyes, you only know how to embarrass our defense troops." Two people, please enter. ”
