Chapter 20 Negotiations

After Major Pelle walked out of Colonel Aveley's room, he walked back to Gnacu to check on the rearmament of his troops. Avery returned to the bridge.

"How's it going, isn't the enemy moving?" Colonel Avery asked.

"For some reason, the enemy did not attack." Captain Harris, who had been on duty at the bridge, reported.

"Then always pay attention to order the fighter units to be on combat readiness at the first level, and if the enemy attacks, regardless of whether they are fully prepared or not, except for those who cannot take off and cannot shoot, all of them will go out, including reconnaissance planes." Avery ordered, "How's the makeshift base in the rear going??" "In space operations, if it is a fast battle of the cruise fleet, it is directly using the cruise ship as a platform to conduct the operation. If there is reinforcement of rear troops, such a brigade as it is now to reinforce, but it is beyond the platform maintenance capacity, it is necessary to build a temporary maintenance platform with the transport ship as the core, which is used to stop and land and rebuild combat units.

"70 percent complete," Captain Harris reported.

Colonel Avery was silent, looking at the asteroid cluster not far away, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

What is the enemy doing?

====================================================

"Report, the unidentified fleet in the rear sent a request for a meeting." Chen Xiaomou didn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue here, but an unknown fleet appeared on the other side of the asteroid belt.

This fleet is completely black, and it is not like the major powers have their own traditional liveries. Because in the universe, even the largest aircraft carrier seems very small. So it doesn't matter if the paint is painted black, or it is colorful in a variety of bright colors. You can't see it with your eyes, unless you know the direction in advance, and you can let the camera develop the multiple and then observe. Most of the common observation methods nowadays are radar, heat source, gravitational wave detection, and so on.

And this fleet is not painted with the official livery of the major forces, and the ship type used is not the capital ship type of the major forces. Even the identification code is not in the space authority's data system.

When this fleet was observed, Chen Xiaomou ordered the Gray Goose and all the MS troops to withdraw to the base first to observe the situation. It also left time for the Atlantic Special Operations Force to sort out.

"Where did we meet?" Chen Xiaomou asked.

"They said they would come in person." The signal corps reported back.

Chen Xiaomou thought about it for a while, and in fact, in the intelligence of Second Lieutenant Arthur, there was news of the rebels. He is familiar with the history of Gundam and is also interested in this group of rebels. It feels a lot like the Zeon remnants in the Gundam world.

"They can come and talk to us, but only one transport boat, three negotiators and six armed guards will be allowed to come into our air defenses." Chen Xiaomou finally gave an answer, and he felt that he could talk to that side.

When the signal corpsman received the order, he saluted and turned to leave. When he returned, he had to draft it into a diplomatic statement, which he would submit to the head of the communications department for review before he could issue it.

"Arthur." Chen Xiaomou then said to William Arthur, the chief of staff on the next floor, "You can arrange for you to go with Dart and me to meet them later." As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Let Dart come here and temporarily take over the work of the commander." If the Atlantic Federation were to attack, we would need someone here to take command. With that, he turned around and walked out of the command hall, ready to go back to his room to wash up and change clothes. If you want to meet guests later, you can't look sloppy.

============================================================

After a while, a black transport boat arrived at the gate of the base. Guided in by the port staff.

Prior to this, Chen Xiaomou ordered that all port personnel and maintenance personnel should be equipped with guns. So when the people of the transport boat came down and saw a circle of people wearing military uniforms, steel helmets, and holding unknown rifles and machine guns, they almost thought that they had walked into the army base. If the leader hadn't seen that the group of soldiers didn't have epaulettes and other markings, the two sides might have fought first.

Carl Royce was a colonel in the Resistance League, having previously served as an intelligence agent for the North American Liberty League. But after another failed mission, he and his comrades were marked dead. Later, when they contacted the intelligence services, they found that they thought they had defected and were preparing to put them to death. Later, they seized their guns and escaped from the secret base and hid with their comrades. After evading the pursuit of his former boss several times, he was absorbed by the rebel group.

Because he has received special official training and is an intelligence officer, he quickly gained the trust of the organization after joining the organization. After arriving in the universe, he served as the commander of the Resistance's Rapid Reaction Fleet.

He was also the person in charge of this operation, and when he stepped off the transport boat and saw the situation of the base, he was originally shocked, thinking that it was a certain force army that had obtained the base. Later, I saw this military uniform that I had never seen before, and at the same time, these people did not have collar badges and epaulettes. So he stopped the commotion of his subordinates. He took the initiative to take it and shook hands with Ensign William Arthur, who was approaching him.

After a few short pleasantries, Colonel Royce and his two cronies, guided by Ensign Arthur, entered the base and walked towards the conference room. The casual armed men stayed near the transport boat to maintain a vigilant posture.

Royce looked around as he walked. The interior of the base is very neat and clean, unlike the bases of some pirate organizations, which are dirty and messy from the port to the living quarters, and there are crooked crews everywhere. And here, all the people who pass by are uniformly dressed, like the military uniforms on the other side of the port. Many people have a good sense of discipline and show a high level of military literacy. He found a detail that many people saluted each other, so he thought that the entire base should be militarized, at least most of the members were active or retired soldiers.

The equipment here is also very new, like a passing transport vehicle, although I haven't seen those models myself, but found it very well maintained.

After walking for a while, he followed the young man in front of him to a room. The room was a typical conference room structure, with a young man dressed in the same military uniform as the young man leading the way. Black hair, black eyes, seems to be a member of the Oriental League. When the young man saw himself enter the conference room, he stood up and said, "You have come from afar, please be seated." ”

He saw the young man leading the way sitting on the side, and a stenographer next to him was debugging the computer. He walked over to the conference table, shook hands with the black-haired young man, and sat down.

====================================

"Your organization is a big deal." Colonel Royce spearheaded a wave of compliments, "a neat base, well-trained soldiers and personnel." Oh, my name is Royce, Carl Royce. is the commander of the Resistance's Rapid Reaction Force. Nice to see you. ”

"Hello, Mr. Royce. My name is Chen Xiaomou, and I am the base commander of the "Celestial Man" organization, a neutral space investigation agency. Chen Xiaomou responded, casually saying the name of an organization that exists as a terrorist in another world. He felt that if he called himself the Earth Federation Army, the name was too official. The other party will definitely not believe it. So I had to package myself as a small part of a neutral organization, hoping to use this virtual neutral organization to scare the various forces.

"Celestial Organization?" Royce responded, but his mind had already gone through several laps, wondering what this celestial organization was all about. "I wonder if you can introduce me to your organization."

"The Celestial Organization is a neutral space investigation organization, and most of the core members of the organization are experts and scholars in space development and some retired military personnel." Chen Xiaomou Hu Daodao, "The purpose of the establishment of the organization is to develop the universe at the same time, we must be vigilant against the dark system of the universe. We believe that human beings should be wary of the universe as a whole in the early stages of its development. If there is a race that is technologically advanced than us and hostile to us, then our organization will be at the forefront of resistance. ”

"Secondary two" Chen Xiaomou introduced himself while complaining about himself. However, this point of view is not bad, in short, it is suitable to use it as an excuse now.

"I didn't expect your organization to have such a big ideal." Colonel Royce clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, we need to be vigilant about the unknown. He agreed, but changed the conversation and said, "I don't know if there is a possibility of cooperation between your two organizations, after all, your organization has also become a thorn in the side of some military forces, and now it is also being hit." If we work together, we will protect you and give you more energy to deal with unknown challenges. ”
