Pluto, the air defense base of the War Department of the Republic.

Unlike Charon, which is not taken seriously, as the main battlefield of the Republic's sworn defense, Pluto has built a large number of anti-aircraft batteries and interstellar missile launches to guard against the space power of the Federation Army and the airdrop of troops.

But the Federation Army, which occupies the other half of Pluto, has also built massive air defense facilities. Therefore, in the current stalemate situation, if any space force wants to land on Pluto rashly, it will be frantically attacked by the air defense force of the other side.

However, in the early hours of this morning, a communication request from outside the atmosphere broke the silence of the air defense base of the War Department of the Republic.

"What do you say? There are three transport ships going to land on Pluto and asking us to intercept the Federal anti-aircraft fire? ”

The bearded air defense base commander stared at the communications soldier in front of him who had interrupted his sleep.

The communications soldier was very aware of the commander's fiery temper, and handed the commander a wet towel to wipe his face before continuing: "Yes, it is said that they are the returning fleet of Charon, but they were attacked by the Federation forces during the voyage, so they can only make an emergency landing on Pluto after the hull is damaged. ”

"the fart!" The commander threw away the towel in his hand and stood up scoldingly: "Let them stop outside the atmosphere and notify the Air Force to send a maintenance ship for them." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid the Air Force will not risk sending a maintenance ship for the sake of three small transport ships. The communications soldier said resignedly.

"That's their Air Force business." The commander sneered: "The people of their air force have been beaten, and there is no reason for our army to help pay for medical expenses." ”

"Then I'll just reply to them?"

"Yes, just say it's my order."

"Yes." The communications officer saluted, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly turned around: "By the way, one of the three transports is a Federation 'Ray' type troop carrier. ”

"Huh?" Hearing that there was actually a federal 'ray' troop carrier, the commander of the air defense base immediately stopped the messenger who was about to leave, and asked vigilantly: "Have you confirmed their communication password?" It can't be that the federal bastards are trying to sinister us, right? ”

"Confirmed, no problem with the password. There is no problem with the communication codes of the three transport ships, and I have also confirmed the communication codes of the 'Ray' troop carriers, which are the communication channels of the original TR-735 ship, and they are indeed affiliated to us. ”

"How could that ......" a puzzle flashed in the commander's eyes.

"According to their explanation, the original TR-735 suffered serious damage in the collision with the enemy ship, so the marines on their ship forcibly seized the ship, captured the enemy's 'Ray' troop carrier, and transferred all personnel to the enemy ship."

"Forcibly seizing ships? A Marine Corps? The shock in the commander's heart was completely exposed to his rugged face, although he was not an Air Force, but he had also served on a spaceship in his youth, so he knew very well the dangers of space warfare.

"Go to the headquarters, I'm going to talk to the captain personally."

The caution in the commander's heart made him not make a hasty decision, but immediately notified all the staff officers, put on his military cap, and quickly went to the command center of the air defense base.

At the same time, in space outside the atmosphere, three transports in a zigzag arrangement were leaving their engines out, anxiously waiting for a reply from the air defense base.

"Cecilia, a communication request from the air defense base." Navigator Borg turned to look at Cecilia after receiving the communication request, and smiled wryly, "Looks like we're under suspicion. ”

"If we are allowed in without even suspicion, then the commander of this air defense base should be court-martialed."

As the only member of the Marine Corps who was capable of action, Colin was specifically allowed to enter the bridge, and his words were endorsed by Borg.

"Pick up the signal." Cecilia, the captain of the ship, straightened her hat and motioned for Borg to connect the communication.

Soon, the rugged and heroic face of the commander of the air defense base appeared in the three-dimensional map of the ship, and in the air defense base, the commander and many staff officers also saw Cecilia, the young and beautiful captain.

"You're the captain?" The commander looked at Cecilia suspiciously, he couldn't believe that the delicate little girl in front of him could be the captain who was in charge of the life and death of everyone on a spaceship.

"Yes, I'm Second Lieutenant Cecilia, the interim captain of the TR-735." Cecilia answered his question after saluting the commander of the air defense base.

"Sir, here's her information."

At the air defense base, a staff officer had retrieved Cecilia's information from the database and presented it to the commander.

Glancing at Cecilia's uncomplicated profile, the corners of the commander's mouth curled up and smiled: "Interesting, it's a heroic female second lieutenant." ”

The commander's slightly mocking smile was transmitted to the three-dimensional view of the ship through instant video, which immediately made Cecilia's face a little ugly.

"Sir, we have requested an emergency landing, there are a large number of casualties on board, they are in urgent need of medical attention, and our ship is ......"

Cecilia anxiously told the situation inside the ship, but the commander of the air defense base interrupted her in a cold tone: "What about the Marine Captain on your ship, let him talk to me." ”

"Sir, our captain is in the intensive care room, and currently five Marines have been killed and four are seriously wounded, and only I can stand here and talk to you." Colin stood in front of Cecilia and spoke in a flat tone to the commander in the communication map.

"Zhongshi, you served in the army?" Glancing at Colin, the commander immediately felt a familiar feeling in Colin.

Colin shrugged his shoulders and replied rather helplessly, "I was an Army Army a day ago. ”

"His name is Colin, he belongs to the Charon War Department, he is a communications soldier, and he was transferred to the Air Force Marine Corps only a day ago. He was joined by a sniper and an assaulter, who had recently been promoted through the ranks. ”

As Colin appeared in the image, the staff officer quickly called up his profile again.

"It doesn't seem that this is the brainchild of the Federation, then I really want to admire the marines on this ship, and with the strength of a small team, they forcibly captured a troop carrier. Hehe...... If they hadn't lied about their military exploits, I'm afraid they would have been promoted again. ”

"Sir, what ...... their request," a staff officer asked tentatively.

"I refuse!"

Surprisingly, the commander of the air defense base rejected the fleet's request for a forced landing in a tough tone, which immediately made Cecilia, who was the captain of the ship, pale.

"Why! ~" Cecilia asked in an excited tone.

"The interception of the anti-aircraft fire of the Federal Forces requires the consumption of a large amount of our ammunition, which can drop the ammunition reserves of our air defense bases to the danger line. For the sake of three return transports, it's not worth the risk I have, I have to take responsibility for the whole of Pluto. ”

"And what if I tell you that we have more than four hundred sets of Patriot 2 heavy infantry armor on our ship?" Colin smiled and switched the communication channel to the ship's warehouse, and motioned for the staff in the warehouse to open the mountain of metal boxes.

“……”

Suddenly, the entire air defense base command was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the boxes that were piled up in the warehouse. With more than 400 sets of Patriot 2 heavy infantry armor, this is definitely a batch of wealth that can make any general break his head.

"Contact General Aldrich now!" The Commander's breath became rapid in an instant, his red eyes widened and he roared, and orders were given almost instantaneously.

On the bridge, the people who saw that the commander of the air defense base had already made a move were relieved, and they knew that the commander who was only interested in profit had recognized their value.

"I like your style of doing things, Messenger." In the final frame of the end of the communication, the Commander smiles satisfactorily at Colin and simply cuts off the communication.
