Back at the Octopus station, Robin found that the entire station was in an unprecedented hurry, as if the little trouble he encountered did not cause any trouble to the others on the station, only Zhuo Luo, who did not have to participate in the construction of the fleet, stood alone at the entrance of the mooring passage and waited for him.

Seeing that Zolo was alone, Robin couldn't help but ask, "What about Cecilia?" ”

"She and Borg are working on the newfound star charts and various fleet formations."

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Zhuo Luo walked in side by side with Robin, and asked in a very casual tone, "We're going to war, aren't we?" ”

Robin suddenly stopped and looked at Zhuo Luo in surprise: "Who told you that?" ”

"Since someone is making trouble for you, then there must be some people targeting us, so everyone guesses that there is a battle to be fought." Zhuo Luo smiled lightly: "I don't care why those people are targeting us, I just want to know who will be our opponent." ”

"Maybe it's some freedmen, maybe it's some mercenary." Robin smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "To be honest, I don't know what kind of enemies will appear in front of us. ”

"Mercenaries?" Zhuo Luo paid a little attention to this word, and said casually: "In the Northern Star Field, there seems to be a person named Bloody Harry who is very powerful. ”

"Bloody Harry? How do you know? Robin was surprised why Drowo knew the name, as he had only heard Gabriel mention it.

"I noticed him the last time I went to the Hermes spaceport with you, and in the northern star field of Proxima Centauri, the highest ranking of mercenaries is his bloody mercenary group." Zhuo Luo glanced at Robin, who was extremely surprised, and shrugged his shoulders: "I thought you knew. ”

“……”

After being stunned for a long time, Robin couldn't help but ask, "What else do you know?" ”

Zhuo Luo casually threw a recruitment advertisement for the Bloody Mercenary Group to Robin, in this recruitment advertisement, the Bloody Mercenary Regiment was recruiting veterans with more than three years of service experience, and it also specifically mentioned the article that there was no restriction on military branches.

Through this recruitment notice, Robin immediately got some information from it. This means that the Bloody Mercenaries are large and have a regular source of funding and a territory that belongs to them.

"Do you think our opponent will be him?"

"If you want to solve a person who can't win by yourself, don't you spend money to find the strongest one?" Zhuo Luo said pointedly.

"That's right." Robin nodded in agreement with Zolo.

He knew Zhuo Luo, and he knew that this man born in the wilderness had a stronger sense of crisis than anyone else, and was always able to find the source of danger at the first time. So, Robin trusts Drowlo's instincts and is convinced that Bloody Harry and his mercenary organization are the enemies who may eventually appear in front of them.

"By the way, Old Jack has already completed the modification of Type 3 armor. We should find a time to rehearse, and I feel like we're going to use them this time. ”

"Done?"

Robin didn't expect Old Jack to really complete the modification of Type 3 armor, when he threw the armor to him, Robin was actually just thinking about trying it out, after all, Type 3 armor belongs to the cutting-edge field that the Republic has not yet set foot in, and after these months of busyness, Robin almost forgot that he still has three Type 3 armor.

"Let's go! ~Check it out! With this huge surprise, Robin hurried to find Old Jack, eager to see the three Type 3 armors that took four months to modify.

…… After Robin's return and announcement that there would be a combat mission in seven days, the entire fleet was plunged into a state of emergency.

The mechanical squad headed by Old Jack formulated a modification plan for the J-9 space shuttle as quickly as possible, preparing to equip the J-9 space shuttle with the weapon system of the Republic's light multi-functional fighter and comprehensively enhance the air combat capability of the J-9 space shuttle.

At the same time, as the fleet's only official space shuttle pilot, Angus selected 12 personnel from the crews of various ships who had received flight training and achieved excellent results, and used four J-9 space shuttles that had been temporarily shelved for emergency training, hoping to select four qualified pilots who could participate in actual combat within seven days.

It may sound like a stretch of luck to train a pilot in seven days, but in reality, any ship crew member has received formal flight training at the training camp. Although their skills are very crude compared to those of professional pilots who graduated from fighter training camps like Angus, it is not too difficult to spend seven days mastering Professor Angus's space shuttle operation and basic flight maneuvers in aerial combat. So, seven days is enough time for them to have initial air combat capabilities.

In order to cooperate with the J-9 space shuttle, the TR-735 ship once again carried out a large-scale transformation, the four cargo compartments on both sides of the ship were converted into the J-9 space shuttle launch module, and several aviation guns were added above the ship, so that the anti-aircraft firepower of the TR-735 ship was further strengthened.

After this extensive refit, the TR-735, with five space shuttle launch bays, fifteen shipborne missiles, and a large number of aviation guns, completely evolved into a purely armed transport ship. Therefore, as the captain of the TR-735, Cecilia must refresh the battleship lessons of the training camp, and even the navigator Borg and the rest of the crew must immediately change their original sailing habits and enter a new role.

Robin's aviation marines were not idle, and on the premise of using Bloody Harry as an imaginary enemy, Robin preliminarily concluded that the other side was equipped with assault boats with landing combat capabilities. So, during the seven-day mission, four squads will follow the TR-735. In addition, the newly modified three Type 3 armor and the original three Skywalker 2 aviation armor will also be put into operation as carrier-based armament.

February 17, 2082.

This is the day Robin and Martina agreed to depart, but before the TR-735 is about to set sail, the Octopus space station falls into an oppressive silence.

Including Robin, everyone stood pale in place, silently listening to the public announcement in the Octopus space station, and the broadcast was the latest battle situation of the Federation forces in the solar system officially announced by the Raymond Federation.

Prior to this, because the fleet was far away from the radiation radius of the central computer of the Republic, the shipboard computer of the fleet could no longer communicate with the central computer, and in order to prevent the characteristic code of the fleet from being intercepted by the federal security department, the fleet had never officially connected to the information channel in the federal star field, which made everyone in the fleet ignorant of the current war situation of the Republic.

It wasn't until Christine purchased a large number of electronic accessories at the Hermes spaceport and re-established the fleet's computer hub and information platform that the fleet officially connected to the public channel of the federal star field for the first time today as a corporate company of Roche Logistics, and quickly received the latest battle situation released by the federal official.

However, this latest situation is an out-and-out bad news. Because just today, the Federation fleet finally officially captured the Marseille Space Fortress, and once again knocked on the door of the Republic, spreading the war to the mainland of the Nine-Star Republic: the Pluto Star Domain.

A full month and a half have passed since the Federation Army's large-scale invasion, and before that, even Robin could not have imagined that the Marseille Space Fortress could hold out for so long in the full-scale invasion of the Federation Army. It was clear to everyone that the fall of the Marseille Space Fortress was a matter of time. However, when the news was heard, no one wanted to believe that it was true.

As a republican [***] people, they are ashamed, they feel that they are a shameful deserter. Especially when they heard that the commander of the garrison of the fortress, General Adrian, had been martyred, and that the entire space fortress of Marseille had been bombed into ruins, they were ashamed to death, and they felt ashamed of their compatriots who died heroically.

In fact, they didn't think that if they hadn't sent the news of the Federation invasion back to the fortress in advance, maybe General Adrien would not have been able to hold the fortress for so long, and the Republican [***] side would not have been able to use the month and a half won by the Marseille Space Fortress to quickly strengthen the defense force of the Pluto Domain, and lay out one defense line after another in the Pluto Domain.

As an outsider, one might think that this logistics fleet has done enough. But they themselves don't think so, as republicans, they can't ignore the death of their compatriots and live in peace. Therefore, at this moment of imminent departure, the atmosphere in the fleet was almost suffocating.

'Bang! ～’

Finally, an enraged Andrew overturned a work table, his eyes red and kicked the innocent table to pieces. And beside him, all the people clenched their fists and suppressed their emotions, and the rapid breathing sound seemed to be about to brew a storm, making the entire space station reveal a dangerous aura of fierce beast awakening.

"What are you doing? Does kicking a table make you feel better? ”

Feeling the smell of gunpowder in the air, Robin, as the infantry commander, strode forward and grabbed Andrew, who had fallen into a frenzy.

As the only veteran who has followed Robin to this day, Andrew has always respected Robin, but today, anger makes Andrew lose his mind and roar loudly at Robin: "What else can I do? I can only stay in this damn place and be a shrunken turtle, is that what we want? ”

As soon as the words fell, the burly Andrew was knocked out by Robin with a heavy punch.

Looking at Andrew, who was lying on the ground with his mouth covered in blood, and then at the officers and men of the fleet around him, who were clenched with fists and seemed to be about to lose control, Robin yelled angrily: "Don't forget, we are going to leave now, and the enemy we have to face may be a well-armed federal mercenary army. I'm not going to be a shrunken turtle, this star field is also our battlefield, and our enemies are still Federations! ～”

"Kill them all! ～”

Robin's words instantly ignited the emotions of the officers and soldiers like a spark thrown into the fuel tank, and everyone, including Andrew, completely woke up from their self-blame, and they raised their arms and shouted like crazy, and the crazy cry of the mountain and tsunami resounded throughout the starry sky......
