Chapter 148: Descending from a High Height
The applause and cheers gradually subsided, and at this time, Emperor Li Xinqi said: "Gao Qing, please get up, there is no need to be so polite in front of me." ”
However, Gao Ban still knelt on the ground and did not move, and the emperor and the important ministers beside him felt a little strange, so they persuaded Gao Ban to get up again.
How do you know that Gao Ban suddenly said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a non-dividing request, and please fulfill Your Majesty!" ”
"Oh, what a request, you might as well say it and listen to it, and if I can do it, it will be fulfilled for you." The emperor said in a good mood.
The surrounding important ministers were somewhat unhappy when they heard the high ban and the request, especially several high-ranking officials in the military high-level, such as Huang Ding and others, all secretly thought in their hearts: "This high ban is really good at choosing, Your Majesty has already given such a favor, he actually has a non-share request, if it goes on like this, won't it climb to the head of us!" ”
However, these people are very deep in the city, how could they say something that displeased the emperor at this time, so they all kept silent.
I heard Gao Ban say in a slightly trembling voice: "Although Wei Chen's expedition was victorious, the process was not easy at all, especially the soldiers below, who suffered many casualties. Therefore, Wechen begs Your Majesty to personally meet some of these meritorious soldiers, so that they can feel Your Majesty's grace, if Your Majesty can agree, Wechen is willing not to be rewarded by His Majesty! ”
Gao Ban said very emotionally, and several other officers of the 9th Fleet bowed their heads and wiped their tears when they heard this, and almost cried.
Liu Kuang, Huang Ding and others were very unhappy when they saw Gao Ban making such a request, but at this time, it was live broadcast, and hundreds of thousands of people present were watching, so it was not good to reprimand Gao Ban loudly in person.
Huang Ding could only lower his voice and said: "Don't be rude, who Your Majesty will meet, Your Majesty can only decide where it is your turn to speak!" ”
Liu Kuang also said: "Gao Ban, how can you say don't want the honor conferred by Your Majesty, you are making trouble!" ”
Gao Ban ignored Huang Ding and Liu Kuang, but continued to kneel on the ground and refused to move, in order to show his attitude.
Huang Ding and Liu Kuang saw that Gao Ban ignored him, and they were even more dissatisfied, and were about to continue to reprimand Gao Ban, but at this time, the emperor waved his hand and signaled the two to stop talking.
Emperor Li Xinqi put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I agree to your request, let your men come down, and I will meet them in person." ”
At this time, Liu Kuang finally couldn't help but say: "No! Your Majesty, there was no such precedent before, and it was not in accordance with the rules. ”
Li Xinqi frowned, and said with some unhappiness: "Liu Qing, the rules can also be flexibly mastered, can't I make an exception?" ”
Liu Kuang touched a nail and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only keep his mouth shut obediently.
Huang Ding, who was on the side, couldn't stand it, so he took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, these people have not reviewed and filed in advance, and it is not in line with the security regulations to rashly meet them, so it is better to meet them another day." ”
Li Xinqi saw that Huang Ding did not agree to the meeting, and his heart became more and more unhappy, and he said secretly: "It's just that others are working against me, you are my uncle, and you actually followed outsiders to oppose me, I still want to see you today, see what you can do?" ”
Thinking of this, Li Xinqi sank his face and said coldly: "I am the emperor, what I say is the rules, can't you make an exception?" ”
Huang Ding was shocked when he heard the emperor's unkind tone, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty can naturally make an exception, but it's just ......"
Li Xinqi snorted coldly and said, "It seems that Commander-in-Chief Huang has an opinion on me?" ”
"No, Weichen has no opinion, everything is up to His Majesty!" Huang Ding hurriedly said.
"Okay, since I have no opinion, I have decided, I will meet with the officers of the 9th Fleet now, and let them know that the empire values them very much!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" The other important ministers hurriedly chimed in.
Li Xinqi turned his head to Gao Ban, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Gao Qing, you heard it, now you can get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Ban thanked him and slowly stood up.
Emperor Li Xinqi patted Gao Ban's shoulder and said, "If you serve the empire and me well, you will definitely go down in history in the future!" ”
With the emperor's personal order, how could the departments at all levels dare to obstruct it, so all the security departments were allowed to go. Since this was an ad hoc decision, the department in charge of security did not know which ships of the 9th Fleet could be allowed to sail, so they had to temporarily lift various security mechanisms and give special treatment to the 9th Fleet.
At this time, the 9th Fleet had taken control of the Moonstone Air Harbor, and received the highest authority key instruction from the officer on duty at the airport, so he immediately gave the 9th Fleet a code for complete release.
With this code, ships of the 9th Fleet can freely enter the atmosphere of the Sky Stars from the area under the jurisdiction of Moonstone Air Harbor.
Dozens of small transport ships were already filled with special assault troops, all of them wearing mobile armor and additional rocket flight bags, all of them wrapped from head to toe in steel shells, looking like robots.
These small transport ships have been in orbit for a long time, ready to depart into the atmosphere at any time to carry out the program codenamed "Bright Moon".
"Captain, when are we leaving?" One of the Commandos asked.
"Don't talk, just wait. When it's time to go, it's natural to go. ”
Hearing this answer, no one else dared to speak again, and the interior of the transport became unusually quiet, except for the buzzing of the ventilation fan of the mobile armor.
"You have all memorized for me, and from now on don't think about anything, just remember how our companions died."
Everyone was silent for a while, and one by one said in a cold tone: "Captain, we remember!" ”
At this time, the voice of the captain of the Velociraptor sounded in everyone's headphones, and since the senior officers of the fleet went to attend the ceremony, the person with the highest rank was now the captain of the Velociraptor .
I heard the captain say, "Good news! The Emperor has allowed our soldiers to meet us, and now our chances of success are much greater than before, so we must seize the opportunity! ”
"Great!"
"Is this true?"
Immediately there was a burst of chattering in the ship, and the special attack captain immediately shouted: "Give me silence!" Listen up! ”
"Remember, our plan is going to be slightly modified, and the descent of the Assault Team has been revised, and you will see it in a moment. After exiting the cabin, descend for a maximum of 3 minutes, and then open the rocket pack immediately, otherwise you will be smashed into meat sauce, so please be sure to keep in mind the ......"
After the captain finished speaking, the new battle plan was immediately seen on the screen inside the helmet of the special attackers, and everyone began to adjust the parameters of the mobile armor according to the prompts in the plan.
Soon the captain's voice came from the headset inside the helmet: "The second phase of the Bright Moon Plan's combat preparations have begun, and the countdown will begin now." ”
As he spoke, a 3-minute countdown number appeared on the screen in the helmet, and as the number quickly decreased, the Commando's breathing began to become heavier and heavier......
"Countdown 1 minute, adrenaline injection!" The captain ordered.
The team members reached out and pressed the red button on their waists, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in their thighs, and a stream of cold liquid was injected into the players' bodies.
"It's time! Let's go! With an order, dozens of small transport ships broke away from the Moonstone Air Harbor and rushed towards the atmosphere at a rapid pace.
The transport ship broke into the atmosphere, and the hull began to shake violently, and if the people sitting on the ship had not been fixed to the support, they would have fallen on their backs.
"Entering the atmosphere at an altitude of 30,000 meters, 27,000 kilometers......"
The discomfort caused by the strong vibration and acceleration made many people feel that their internal organs were churning, and some people even began to vomit.
"Hold on, it's almost there!" The Captain of the Special Attack kept encouraging everyone with his words.
Finally, the transport ship gradually stabilized, and at this time, the captain's voice sounded again: "There is still 1 minute before the scheduled altitude, please get ready!" ”
At this time, all the special attackers held their breath, waiting for the real start of the battle.
“3,2,1! Start ejecting! ”
As the prompt sounded, the special attack team members in the ship suddenly felt empty under their feet, and then quickly fell downward, and in the blink of an eye, the dim transport compartment was gone, replaced by an endless blue sky and dazzling sunlight.
Dozens of transport ships opened their inlets one after another, throwing the special attack team members directly out of the cabin from an altitude of 8 kilometers. These soldiers, dressed in heavy mobile armor, were like bombs raining down on the earth.
After a period of dizziness, most of the special attackers used their strong will to wake themselves up and get used to it, and then began to adjust their body posture to allow themselves to descend smoothly.
However, it is not an easy task to control the body in heavy armor, and some people are still unable to stop the body from tumbling after a long time, and if they cannot control the descending posture within the specified time, they will have to die.
"Attention! 30 seconds to go! The captain's roar rang out in the headphones.
The crowd stared at the countdown number on the screen, at which point everything was no longer important, only this number was their everything.
On the square in front of Tianhua Palace, everyone looked straight ahead with the gaze of Emperor Li Xinqi, and saw two small transport ships heading towards Tianhua Palace.
At this time, the ultra-miniature earphones that Huang Ding had hidden in his ears rang, and the voice of a certain staff member came from inside: "Commander-in-chief, we have found some anomalies, there are about twenty ships of the 9th Fleet that have entered the atmosphere. ”
"Twenty?" Huang Ding was surprised in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at the front, obviously there were only two, where did the twenty come from?
"Are you sure? How can I only see two? Huang Ding asked.
"The number should be correct, it's twenty!"
