Chapter 146: The Secret of the Imperial Army (Part II)
Chapter 146: The Secret of the Emperor ** (II)
The battlefield where Robin and Emperor ** fought was actually only more than fifty kilometers away from the H-Research Institute, and the movements of the battle were even clear to the scientific researchers stationed in the research institute.
In the existing federal garrisons, the news of the emperor's counteroffensive has already made the personnel stationed there panic. The rumors that the emperor didn't want to be taken prisoner and didn't leave him alive made these Federation people who came to work here for high salaries scared all day long. Right now, their only hope is that Federal President Dawson will order the Barnard system to be abandoned so that they can get out of this damn place on a federal rescue ship.
It's a pity that Dawson disappointed them, after receiving the news of the emperor's counteroffensive, Dawson not only did not order the abandonment of the Barnard system, but also forcibly recruited a large number of mercenaries to participate in the war, trying to use mercenaries who are good at small-scale special operations to counter the emperor **, who also uses special infiltration operations, so as to fully launch the defense of Wendini's planet.
This news from the military was undoubtedly desperate for Major Algernon, who was stationed at the H-Research station. This bearded Frenchman was not as brave as he looked, and he had never participated in a serious battle in his many years of service in the military department. Although he had nominally experienced many of the Federation's large-scale battles, in reality, most of his post-war garrison and patrol duties had been spent on post-war garrison and patrol missions, and he had never even seen a weapon of the enemy except for a few prisoners.
He was able to get the current major epaulettes only by virtue of his seniority in the army and his fairly good connections. It is obviously an unrealistic luxury to expect such a fellow, who has never experienced real war, to hold on to this small scientific research base in H-. So as early as two weeks ago, he had been trying to contact the military's command headquarters established outside the atmosphere of the planet Wendini in an attempt to convince Commander Antoine? Colonel Arthur was tasked with his H-Station Shift, allowing him to leave the dangerous land and return to the safer space station, where he would remain until the war ended.
In the garrison of the planet Wendini, there are not a few people like Algernon who think this way. After confirming that the counteroffensive emperor ** is a pure army, the space station wandering outside the atmosphere has become the safest place for them, especially when a large number of mercenaries are called to join the defense of the planet Wendini, these federal officers who are responsible for the task of stationing in the gathering place began to use the excuse that the garrison personnel are tired and urgently need to recuperate, etc., looking for relationships everywhere to implement a change of defense, trying to completely dump the combat mission to the mercenaries who work for money, while they themselves hide in space and enjoy the fruits of victory, or...... Stand trial before a military court.
Mercenaries take money to fight, and the regular army makes military merit or carries the blame, which has always been the default unspoken rule in the federal army. In the eyes of these federal officers in the second-line troops, even if they lose the war and are tried by a military court, they are just deprived of their military rank and military benefits and forced to retire.
Algernon had already planned that when the mercenary force in charge of the garrison arrived, he would leave all the garrison tasks to the mercenaries, and the space command had agreed to his request for a change of guard, and in a week a week a landing ship carrying supplies would arrive at the H-Research base, and by the way, he and several of his cronies would return to the space station outside the atmosphere.
This was a perfect plan, and even Algernon had already thought about it, and after arriving at the space station, he would ask someone to find a relationship in the military headquarters and transfer to other galaxies, so as to leave this dangerous place completely.
However, the roar of the cannon and the explosion that appeared fifty kilometers away completely shattered his dream. Timid and afraid of death, his only reaction was that the emperor ** came, he didn't think carefully about who the emperor ** was fighting with, what the battle situation was, etc., the huge panic had completely swallowed his reason, and he even began to fantasize about the scene of the emperor ** who was born in heavy armor and slaughtered in the station. The fear of death caused him to fall into a frenzied hysteria at the moment of the enemy's situation, and he only wanted to save his own life, and he did not even check the situation of the battle, and gave the order for the fighters to retreat on all fronts. Within five minutes, all the fighters under his leadership had abandoned the city with a small amount of supplies and fled to the H-military fortress, where they sought refuge
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the army that fought against the emperor had the possibility of victory, and the H-military fortress, with a large number of troops stationed and heavily fortified, had become the only safe place in his eyes. However, he did not know that the safer place in his eyes was the place of death that would take his life.
At the same time, the hasty flight of the garrison commander also caused the already tense nerves of the garrison staff to collapse completely. Human emotions are too easily infected, and if the garrison commander, Major Algernon, did not show that apocalyptic panic, most people would have been able to think calmly. As long as you calm down, you can choose between leaving and staying, in fact, staying is a safer and smarter choice. However, among the many emotions of human beings, panic is always the one that spreads the fastest and can make people lose their minds. Therefore, when Major Algernon had already led all the fighters to evacuate in a hurry, the staff who worked here also followed in Algernon's footsteps and drove all kinds of maglev vehicles into the forest
So, when Robin stepped out of the jungle with his smoke-covered team outside the alloy defense walls of the H-Research Quarters, what he saw was a closed defensive gate, an empty watchtower, an unguarded defensive firepoint, and a mess of people fleeing in a hurry.
"This ...... Has this place been conquered? ”
Stunned by the debris scattered around the defensive gates, most people's minds were a little overwhelmed. After all, from the perspective of Robin and others, this station looks like an empty city that has been abandoned.
"There are no signs of combat." Zhuo Luoxun, who served as a scout, observed the traces left by the garrison when it left: "The time of leaving was less than fifteen minutes, and there was about a company of troops and nearly a thousand civilians. There is no broken back team, no defensive formation......"
"These idiots ran away?" Lee's eyes widened and he screamed incredulously.
"I'm afraid they have long been frightened by the emperor, and they didn't even expect us to win." Robin shook his head, looked back and smiled, "This commander is an indescribable idiot...... But that's fine, at least I don't have to bother fighting for the leadership of the station. ”
With that, Robin made a forward gesture behind him. Four sturdy soldiers immediately jumped out of their vehicles, carrying climbing tools and cautiously approaching the defensive gates, while the three 'Walking Bugs' multi-purpose vehicles sounded the 'hum' of their cannon charges, ready to disintegrate any automatic defensive weapons that might appear.
However, Robin's expected automatic defensive weapons did not appear, and the entire station seemed to be cut off from energy, and the various machine guns installed above the alloy defense wall did not respond, and even when the four infantry began to climb the defense wall, these defensive weapons that should have rained bullets did not move.
"Ha~ The garrison commander of this station is really a superb, and when he fled, he actually remembered to cut off the energy supply of the station?" Seeing that the four infantrymen successfully climbed over the thirty-meter-high alloy defensive wall, Li covered his forehead with his hand, and he really couldn't describe the ridiculous feeling in his heart.
Whew~
Having successfully taken control of the command room of the station, the infantry, who took over the defense authority, immediately ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
