The light of the virtual screen jumps and flickers in the room, changing colors.

In the low stereos, there were loud explosions and cannons, the intermittent chattering of the recorded footage, and the shrill cacophony of communication in the communication channel.

The battle was fierce, and countless mechs swarmed into a ball and strangled each other.

The camera keeps changing direction and shuddering.

Piled up on the screen were the shaking ground, the running mechs, the dirt that had been lifted up like a splash, and the shattered and charred bodies of the soldiers in the burning mechs on the pitted ground.

I don't know how long it took to play this screenshot of the battle record of a Chipeng mecha, but finally, the picture was frozen in a messy scene.

The broken leg of a mecha at close range, the burning flames, and the billowing black smoke are all condensed in the picture. And the screams in the stereo seemed to still echo in the room.

The lights are turned off in a room that is extremely dim. The dark brown wood wall skirt and dark patterned wallpaper deliberately create a solemn and solemn atmosphere in this gloom, turning into the cold silence of the ice cellar.

More than a dozen Jeppon officers sat silently. The faint light of the screen was reflected on their faces as if on an inanimate statue.

"Smack"

Next to the sofa at the far end of the rectangular room, an antique table lamp emits a soft light with the soft sound of the pull switch.

"Smack"

The lights are back on.

In the repeated on-and-off light, a voice. Like a cold wind over the Parmas plateau, it swept through the conference room.

"Who, can you give me an explanation?"

The silence continues, the lights go on and off...... Although only a second or two had passed since the voice asked, for all the officers, this second or two was as long as a century.

Magee, who was pale, stood up.

It took him almost all the strength of his body to support his empty, almost bloodless body, with his arms propped up on the armrests.

Palent, the commander-in-chief of the Canglang Star Army, sat next to Maggie.

This General Jeppen, who leads a total of forty armored divisions and sixty infantry divisions that are currently landing on Canglang Star, and has command of the two armies of the Allied Suss Army, did not dare to lift up when Magee stood up.

He sat down in his chair with his head bowed, and his face was not much better than that of Maggie. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead and the corners of his eyes that kept beating made this powerful person, who had always been unfrightened, look a little pitiful.

"His Royal Highness Prince Bobet," Maggie's voice, like a cracked bamboo Xiao, was hoarse with a hint of trembling sharpness, "I take all responsibility for this defeat. Underestimating the opponent and subjecting the Imperial Army to such humiliation, I am willing to accept all punishments. ”

Maggie spoke mechanically, like a crappy actor on stage for the first time.

The officers around them all cast their eyes straight to the table in front of them, as if the lacquer surface of the conference table flashed in the flickering lights, hiding some secrets worth exploring.

No one dared to look up at the couch, and no one dared to look up at Magee with sympathetic looks. Everyone knows that Maggie's entire body has stepped into hell.

What remains on the outside is nothing more than a heel.

In fact, this night on the Karachi River was not a major defeat, and the total loss of four armored battalions added up to the size of an armored regiment. For this war that swept the entire human world and threw the empire into everything, an armored regiment is simply negligible.

However, who called the annihilation of these four armored battalions a remnant army from the 347 heights?

Who let these damn infantrymen sneak attack an integrated armored battalion, rob the mechs, and then run long distances to annihilate two armored battalions one after another, and finally divert the stupid Zhongshan wing, rescue 2,000 prisoners of war, rush through the blockade, and swagger into the Chakna defense line?!

Recalling the news they received after the war and the entire step-by-step deduction of the Skynet system, the officers only felt that there were layers of cold sweat on their backs.

It's not a major loss, but it's a major shame.

And all this happened when Prince Bobet, the younger brother of Emperor Nicholas V, arrived! This alone is enough to pronounce Magee's death sentence.

It's not just Maggie. Perhaps, there is also the command system of the entire Canglang Star Jeffen's Northern Expeditionary Army, including Parent.

The table lamp, in the rhythmic crackling sound, turned on and off one by one. Finally, after a snap, the nerve-tormenting switch game is over.

The light shines through the cream-colored cloth lampshade. It emits a soft light. Prince Bobet's face, sunk in a large leather sofa, was half revealed in the light, while the other half remained hidden in the darkness.

This is a young man with light brown hair. The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and the figure is slender. With fair skin and slightly thin shoulders, he looks without the slightest danger.

However, all the officers present knew that if the Jeppen Empire voted for the three most terrible people, this thirty-one-year-old prince was definitely one of them.

He was the Prince of the Empire, the closest and most trusted brother of King Nicholas V, and the Supreme Governor of the Imperial Inspectorate.

The Ombudsman, the institution that represents terror in the eyes of all Jeppen people, seems to have belonged to this man by nature. Since he took over the helm of the Office at the age of 20, his name has been associated with this institution.

Mysterious, cold, ruthless, violent, bloody, powerful, elite, Royal First Guard...... These words are the impressions that come to mind when the Chipeng people, or the intelligence agencies of other countries, refer to the Jeppen Inspectorate.

It is difficult to pick out one of these words that fully represents the impression of the Office, and if one had to find a representative, a generalized impression, then the words are mixed up. It's just a man's name, Bobert Thatcher.

Six years ago, because of an intelligence leak, Bobet commanded the Supervision Department to arrest 13 senior generals and more than 100 colonel-level officers of the Jeppen army, and executed all of them.

Three years ago, in another purge, he threw 260 government and government officials, including a duke and a general, and 79 officers of six military districts into a special prison in the Inspectorate. Legend has it that in that horrible prison, no one could come out intact. Those who can get out of prison are basically crazy.

And now, he's here himself.

The functions of the Office of the Omsay, which are not as simple as her name. At the same time, she is also the most powerful armed force of the imperial family. The prestige of the First Guard. Even on top of the three superfleets! At least, before Yuto Mikami's three superfleets became famous, the First Guard was already famous.

Like the royal guards of most imperial states, all members of this behemoth are the most loyal followers of the royal family, the most devout believers. They are steadfast in their convictions, brave and tenacious in battle, and unafraid of sacrifice. They were the power of Emperor Nicholas V to rule Jepon.

And the appearance of Bobet and his Ombudsman. It means that the Jeppen royal family has made a voice that the battle of Resque cannot be lost.

Under such a tone, it is conceivable how much the humiliation of being annihilated by a group of Chakner wandering soldiers would make Bobet, who had just arrived at Canglang Star, angry.

In the silence, Bobet stood up and slowly walked towards the virtual screen.

The sound of his footsteps was loud and clear in the empty conference room.

"Who are they?" Bobet's hand. Passing through the virtual screen, on a civet mecha with a red logo in the corner of the screen, swinging up and down, the mecha, twisted in the palm of his hand.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head to look at Maggie, his green eyes narrowing slightly: "I don't know? ”

Maggie's body trembled like chaff. Even though he has been through a lot of battles, he tries his best to control it. But I can't control it. Impending doom. Let his spirit almost collapse.

His weak body could not support him to face the person in front of him. What scared him even more was that he really didn't know where these damn mecha gods of war came from!

"It's not surprising that you don't know him." Unexpectedly, Bobet smiled faintly and clapped his hands.

The shadowless electronic light on the top of the conference room is lit up, and the whole conference room is brightly lit.

One of the Inspectors strode forward and slipped the e-folder into the player. The image of the virtual screen suddenly shrank towards the center into a colorful ball of light, and when it spread out again, the picture had changed to a fat man wearing a Lelei uniform.

"This person's name is Tian Xingjian." Bobet looked around at everyone and said calmly: "Twenty-seven years old this year, enlisted in the army in 2059, never went to military school, and was born as a mechanic." Accumulated military merits, promoted from corporal to major general. ”

There was an uproar in the conference room. I didn't go to a military school, and in four years, I was promoted from a mechanic corporal to a major general, even if I accumulated military merits during the war years. It's also rocket-like speed!

Huo Ran, two officers who knew this person, stood up: "It's him?!" ”

"You've been dealing with Leray for so long in Bermuda, and you should have heard of this man." Bobett nodded faintly, looked up at the screen, and continued, "This is a very interesting person. His experience is very complicated. The exploits he has made since the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War are also incredible. According to reliable intelligence. He was a key figure in Milok's rebellion against Russell's treason, and was also the culprit behind Gachalyn Morton's demise. ”

Bobett sat down in the swivel chair at the top of the arc of the oval conference table, leaned sideways, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and said to everyone: "Emperor James Gachalin was captured by him, and the death of the second prince Bruce and the third prince Stephen are directly related to him. It can be said that he single-handedly brought down the entire Gacharin. ”

Although it was not the first time that some of the people present had heard such rumors, the words that came out of Bobet's mouth still made their hearts shake.

"A few months ago," Bobett looked coldly at the screen, "this man took the entire Freeport of Mars with the strength of a destroyer. A few days earlier, he had captured Duke Binalt Humphrey in the Longbow system, forcing Humphrey's fleet to surrender. ”

There was dead silence in the room.

The news of Humphrey's fleet defeat has reached Canglang Star. The officers present had made all kinds of speculations, but the specific situation was not very clear. Now I heard Bobet, who never liked hearsay, tell such an inside story. They all opened their mouths and looked at the fat man's eyes on the screen, as if they had seen a ghost.

Is this guy a person?! How did he end up here?

As if he knew everyone's thoughts, Bobet turned around and said lightly: "Combined with the information obtained by the Empire, as well as the spaceship with the bandit symbol that crashed near Heights 347, combined with the combat methods of these people...... You don't have to doubt that he is the one who led ten mecha gods of war and ate your four armored battalions. ”

Parentt breathed a sigh of relief. The officers' gaze at the stunned Magee was no longer pity. Listening to Bobet, perhaps, he doesn't want to be held accountable.

In the silence, Bobett stood up, walked to the virtual screen, and stood opposite the fat man on the screen. Two people, as if staring into each other's eyes.

Bobet said coldly: "This person, if he was in any of the big countries of the Filipino Alliance, would already be famous all over the world. But in Leray, this is out of everyone's sight. However, from today on, this person can no longer be hidden, no matter how much he likes to pretend to be crazy and stupid, he is also a key figure in the intelligence systems of various countries. ”

"An interesting opponent, isn't it?" Bobett looked straight into the fat man's eyes and laughed.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly, he turned around, his face was cold, and he said calmly: "However, this is not a reason why the strength of your nearly a hundred divisions cannot fully control the situation of Canglang Star, and the smoke is everywhere!" It's not that it took half a month, and the reason to take the two divisions of Upper and Lower Chakner! The Great War is imminent, and your actions are enough for me to send you to the gallows! ”

The officers jumped up in unison. Stand upright, face like ashes. At the same time, the door was pushed open, and a few inspectors strode into the conference room, led by an officer of the Ombudsman.

"Take off his uniform and escort him home." Bobet pointed at Magee and said coldly: "Your vacation is over." Since you can put this battle. Take a vacation, and for the rest of your life, you will be in the prison of the Supervision Department, have enough fun! ”

Maggie was dragged out of the conference room until he was carried by two soldiers, and he didn't make a sound the whole time.

His pale face, dead eyes. In front of the eyes of all the officers, it was replayed over and over again. This is far more numbing than his explanation, begging for mercy, and screaming.

"The Northern Expeditionary Army will be commanded by me from today onwards. Now, I should give you sluggish fools the first order......" Bobett raised his chin: "Immediately carry out the purge plan, all the troops will be launched, and I will sort out the rebels in every city and township. Within a week, I want a fully controlled Canglang Star!

In addition, the 59, 194 Armored Division, 203, 281 Infantry Divisions were ordered to intensify the offensive and, at any cost, break through the defensive line. Order the 117th Panzer Division to move towards Hot Springs and prevent the enemy from escaping into the mountains to the north! ”

"Yes!" Amidst the thunderous voice of command and chaotic footsteps, Bobet turned his head to look at the fat man on the screen, and the corners of his mouth showed a cold and disdainful smile.

I'll admit you're amazing, but it's on my home turf!

You've picked the wrong opponent!

End of this chapter!
