Chapter 296: Spark Project (9)
"You still can't contact the division, right?" The colonel looked out the window at the pouring rain, and the only hope left in his heart became less and less, "There are still people directly under the reconnaissance company." β
The staff officer shook his head, "There is no news, since Skynet began to collapse, we seem to have become primitive people, and some means of communication have not worked. The division headquarters said that it could confirm the approximate location and was directly subordinate to the reconnaissance company...... It's been so many days, I'm afraid it's been ...... long ago"
"What can I do?" The colonel had a deep sorrow in his heart, "It's okay to say that the food is barely enough to eat, maybe the quantity and source of these combat readiness resources have bottomed out, and if this continues, the guns in the hands of our soldiers will become a burden." β
"That's not all," the staff officer pointed to the virtual map, "that demon army has been chasing us all along, last time we dumped him, this time we will be approached by him...... I'm afraid I won't be able to run away. β
"We have to catch up with the division headquarters," the colonel closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "wait for three days, and after three days, the men of the reconnaissance company will be on our way if they can't come back." Gather all the energy sources, arm a battalion, and lock all the extra weapons and mechs into the underground warehouse, and when we come back one day, these will be taken away. β
"On a day like this, when is it a head?" The staff officer let out a sigh.
"Wait," said the Colonel, swearing, "Your Excellency will return eventually, and he will not give up on us." Don't forget, we're part of the most powerful Space Navy in the universe. β
"yes, when he comes back, everything will be fine."
β¦β¦
At the same time, the Expeditionary Force Command.
"You woman is unreasonable!" Steele stood up angrily and slapped the table, "This is the Military Council, if you don't understand anything, don't show up here!" Don't think you're a Seraph, or a high priest, I'm going to flatter you! β
"You're unreasonable!" The Messianic High Priest, who was in charge of 'generosity', also stood up angrily, "Do you know how many people will die like this? You're using human lives! β
"Nonsense! There is no victory without sacrifice! There is no such thing as a war that can be won without sacrifice. If you think my battle plan is too dangerous, then you can go back to the Emerald with your angelic army! No Angel Army on my battlefield! β
"Your sacrifice will not bring you the victory that the Holy See wants!"
"You're wrong, I didn't make the sacrifice I wanted the victory that the woman wanted, but the victory I wanted! You can think I'm insulting the Pope, so get out of here before the Inquisition sends me to the gallows! β
"If you are arrogant and extreme, you will definitely fail!" The high priest angrily pushed open the door to the conference room and left without looking back.
Looking at what was happening in the field, the generals present all had a headache on their faces. They had expected that it would be the generals of the Gerkos Army who would be able to quarrel with Skel at the meeting, but they didn't expect it to be the High Priest of the Templar from the Emerald.
General Steel's temper had always been impulsive, and the high priest, who was known for his generosity, could no longer keep the virtues he believed in.
"Continue the meeting!" Skel didn't care, "General Zhang Chenjing!" I want you to arrive in this airspace with your troops and stand by, and when the third phase begins, destroy all the enemy forces in front of you! β
"Understood." General Zhang Chenjing nodded, with no objections.
"If you are defeated, immediately send a signal for help, and I will lead the army to arrive within thirty hours." "You have to remember that you are also a member of the Expeditionary Force, and I will not harm you and your army because of some grudges. β
"I also believe that His Excellency General Steele will not do this," General Zhang Chenjing shrugged, "after all, you are also a soldier." β
β¦β¦
Friedmont, the headquarters of the Papal Room in Jerusalem.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean," the Pope said, "and you can bear with it, General Stehl's temper has always been very impulsive, and the questions you asked are also naΓ―ve, how can there be immortals in war?" Necessary sacrifices can be exchanged for necessary victories. β
"I don't feel comfortable handing over the angelic army to his commander, he doesn't know the strength of the angels at all, in case ......," the generous high priest hesitated.
"There aren't so many what-ifs," the Pope shook his head, "war is something that can always change quickly, and even Duke Lionheart can't be sure that he can master everything in a war. Once the war starts, it is an angry bull, and no one can pull it back, but can only wait for it to stop, or change its course. β
"This ......"
"Hey~" The Pope was helpless, "I know you don't understand this, leave this to High Priest Yunyu to solve, she will arrive in Norton in two or three days." β
"Yes, Holy See." The generous high priest suddenly said, "But his words have insulted you......"
"My face is nothing compared to the war to be resolved, and besides, this is not the first time, all you have to do is believe him." The Pope waved his hand, "Alright, that's all for this time." β
With that, she cut off the communication.
"Huh."
The Pope's face changed, "What are you laughing at?" β
"My dear sister, do you feel that your face is particularly dull?" Serbia slumped on the couch eating oranges with a wicked smile on his face.
"Last time, I didn't let you go to Canglan but you went secretly, this time I asked you to go to Norton to help me watch the situation, but you didn't go, I really don't understand you now." Said the Pope.
"Eating, drinking, and having fun at public expense sounds great, but it wasn't so good to solve a lot of trouble in the past, don't you say?" Serbia said nonchalantly.
"Would you like to think more about anything other than eating, drinking, and having fun? Do you know that I personally took care of the secretariat after you sneaked away to Canglan last time, and I am not usually busy? β
"I know, but now I'm really fine, you moved more than half of the secretariat to Norton, and there are only a few people left, I have become the commander of the light pole, I don't want to deal with those troublesome documents for you."
The Pope leaned back in his chair, "Don't talk about these useless things, can I still not know what kind of person you are?" Gather in and do what you have to do. β
"What should I do?" Serbia's face suddenly turned cold, "Do you know that what I want to do most is to remove you from the pope's seat and smash this religion to pieces?" β
"It is wonderful," said the Pope, "that I look forward to the day when all sins will disappear into history with the collapse of this religion." β
"It is said that the expeditionary force made a plan called Starfire to throw all the old treasures of Reina to Truman. The situation is really out of control, will you take action? β
"Perhaps?" Serbia rejected in a questioning tone.
"Whatever you want."
