Chapter 43: Insidious (I)
Headquarters of the Federal Army Industrial Zone.
Due to the missile strikes at the Sarma Army Base, all the residents working in the industrial area were arranged to take refuge in the nearest shelter, so this vast industrial area now looks extremely cold, and Robin and six others ran out of the metal scrap disposal point with light infantry equipment, and there were no pedestrians along the way.
"That's it."
Hiding around the corner of the street, looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, Robin turned over and jumped through the vent of a warehouse that had not yet been closed, and Zhuo Luo and the others followed.
Upon entering the warehouse, Robin discovered that it was supposed to be a mechanical repair shop, with some heavy machinery and equipment stored in the warehouse, as well as some multi-functional mechanical repair arms, and a passage in the warehouse connected to the workshop workshop.
"Change your clothes."
Since the next task was to carry out the infiltration mission, the infantry uniforms on the people could no longer be worn. Seeing a pile of mechanical repair shop uniforms stacked in the warehouse, Robin had the idea to let everyone change into them, and the changed infantry uniforms were destroyed with the metal shredders of the mechanical repair shop. As for the weapons that everyone carried, Robin found some work boxes that had been discarded in the warehouse, disassembled them and put them in to take with him.
Ten minutes later, the air raid sirens in the industrial area were lifted, and the federal residents working in the industrial area took the elevator from the shelter hidden deep underground to the industrial area, and took advantage of the chaos of this moment, Robin and others, who had changed into maintenance factory uniforms, returned to the street with toolboxes, blended into the crowd, and followed the bustling crowd to the traffic station in the industrial area.
At first, the nervousness of entering the confines of the Federation Headquarters made Robin and the others seem a little stiff, but they soon realized that in fact, the defenses of the Federation Headquarters seemed to be far more relaxed than they thought.
Unlike Stan City, where the Republic Army Base is located, Stan City pursues a completely militarized management, so even the living quarters of Stan City are in order. This is not the case at the headquarters of the Federation Army, where the Raymond Federation pursues a way of life similar to the old times, which makes the words and deeds of the residents of the Raymond Federation not as restrained and rigid as the Republicans.
Walking down the street at the moment, young people with dyed hair and tattoos can be seen everywhere. And these obviously civilian people would appear in large numbers within the headquarters of the Federal Army, which couldn't help but make Robin and the others a little incomprehensible.
In fact, it is no wonder, after all, the Nine Star Republic implements a kind of self-enclosed internal development, coupled with the extremely meticulous management of the central computer, the civilians of the Nine Star Republic are even more orderly than the soldiers of the Raymond Federation, so Robin and the others have never seen such a loose military base. Having never left the Nine-Star Republic since they were born, they didn't understand why the Raymond Federation would allow these civilians to participate in the war.
In fact, at least half of the more than 100,000 people that the Raymond Federation threw into the Pluto battlefield were actually civilians, and the real military logistics personnel actually accounted for only a small part of this total. The intelligence officers of the Nine-Star Republic didn't know the difference, so they all included these civilians in the logistics personnel, which made the logistics personnel of the Raymond Federation look extraordinarily inflated.
However, although they are civilians, they do bear most of the supply of the federal army. Just like the mechanical repair shop that Robin infiltrated before, it mainly undertakes the maintenance and modification of large machinery in the military department, but it does not belong to the military department, but belongs to a medium-sized machinery company in the federal country, and repairing machinery for the military department is not free repair, and the military department must pay the remuneration stipulated in the contract of the mechanical repair shop for each machine repaired.
In other words, the industrial area, located on the edge of the headquarters of the Federal Army, is effectively a staging ground for contractors working for the military. And these civilians working in the industrial zone are also employees who are temporarily recruited or transferred from within the Raymond Federation by the head office of the enterprise.
At this moment, being in such a place full of civilians, Robin and the others felt extremely strange, they felt as if they had suddenly left the war-torn battlefield and arrived in a city under development, and the novelty of the exotic country made them can't help but look left and right, if it weren't for the fact that there were still their weapons and equipment hidden in the toolbox in their hands, it would be like a vacation abroad.
"Any idea how I'm feeling right now?" Walking in front with the box, Robin was stunned as he watched a group of people scrambling to stop the maglev car, and his expression couldn't help but become extremely exciting.
"It feels like you're watching a movie from the old days......"
Lee replied to Robin's self-talk, and then turned his head to look at the others, except for Zhuo Luo, who had always had a cold face, it seemed that everyone had this delusion.
After all, in any city of the republic, order is like an invisible shackle that binds the nerves of the citizens of the nine-star republic, and the ubiquitous central computer program always monitors the behavior of the citizens, so even if you don't make a mistake at work, but if you disrupt the order or damage public property, then the dense monitoring system in the city of the republic will immediately record this behavior, and the central computer will also deduct points from the performance school because of this, which can directly lead to the reduction of contribution points. and promotion evaluations, among others. Therefore, Robin, who grew up in this order since childhood, yearns for freedom in his bones, but he can't adapt to such a big change all at once.
"To be honest, I love this place."
Suddenly, Angus and Lee exchanged a look, slapped their hands excitedly, and the previous restraint seemed to disappear immediately, as if they had suddenly transformed into Federans, and the change was so fast that Robin and the others did not come back to their senses for a long time.
But gradually, infected by Angus and Lee, Robin and the others suddenly relaxed as if they were loosened.
In fact, those who are willing to come to serve as infantry are some people who like excitement and yearn for freedom in their own surname. After all, infantry stationed in the frontiers were much less disciplined than in the cities, so in the republic there was more freedom in the army than in the cities.
Now, after coming to this land ruled by a foreign country, Robin and the other young people immediately let go of the shackles cultivated by the system in their hearts and fully integrated into the surrounding environment.
But just when they wanted to squeeze into a maglev like the rest of the Federation, they found that it seemed that they had to throw a few coins into a small opening of the maglev before the self-driving maglev would take people away. And on the side of some vending machines on the side of the road, pedestrians will also take out some colorful paper and put it into the coin slot of the vending machine.
"What's that?" Li asked in a whisper in Robin's ear.
"I don't know...... Robin was not sure in his heart, so he could only guess: "Maybe...... Maybe something like a contribution point......"
"I think so." Angus nodded, and said with some distress: "What should I do then?" We don't have it. ”
"Let's go, we've been here too long, and if we stay any longer, we'll probably get someone else's attention." Robin saw some people wearing federal uniforms suddenly appear not far away, and hurriedly pulled Li and the others out of the traffic station and blended into the crowd.
Since Colin had the tactical radar with him, Robin and the others would not get lost in the industrial area, and the loose security of the industrial area also allowed Robin to walk around at will. After wandering around the industrial zone for a while, Robin and the others gradually became bolder, and Lee, who was good at talking, even came up with an idea to talk to some young federal girls, so as to find out the general situation of the federal industrial zone and some of the systems of the Raymond Federation.
Originally, Angus was also eager to try, but because he had suffered burns on his face when he was shot down last time, he was not suitable for this kind of work now that half of his face looked a little scary. After calming down the lost Angus, Robin asked the others to find a secluded corner to stay in, while he and Lee prepared to go out to find out the situation before making plans.
