Mu Peien frowned, and sat in his cabin, a few strands of snow already appeared in his messy hair.
It's been a month since the expeditionary legion arrived in the Heavenly System.
However, the entire legion of tens of thousands of people, with all kinds of sophisticated equipment, was still trapped in the forward base and could not advance an inch.
Due to the influence of the layer of unknown energy shrouded in Heaven One, all the reconnaissance equipment of the expeditionary legion has turned into scrap metal, and the impact on the strength of the entire legion is extremely huge.
Without reconnaissance equipment, the warriors would not be able to detect the enemy in the dense jungle, and in the face of the non-stop attacks of those terrifying animals, there would be no way to attack except for defense.
And through the exploration of the surrounding situation by elite soldiers, due to the first tragic failure, it was completely stranded, and it could not be carried out at all.
However, the most troublesome thing is the indigenous people who live in the vast jungle.
In the past month, all the fighters who went out to advance to the base have basically been attacked by the natives, and the casualty rate is shocking.
Those natives are born to be the kings of the jungle, and the dense jungle is their natural barrier, after losing the detection equipment, the soldiers of the expeditionary legion not to mention giving early warning, even after being attacked by the natives, many times they cannot find out where the enemy is and how many people there are.
In the end, Mu Peien had to give an order that the soldiers were strictly forbidden to walk out of the gate of the forward base on weekdays unless it was necessary to obtain survival supplies.
Of course, even without this order, after fully seeing the horrors of the natives, no warrior was willing to walk out of the gate of the forward base and play with his own life.
However, the survival materials needed by tens of thousands of people on weekdays are too large, and even if the expeditionary corps brings a large amount of provisions, it cannot guarantee that it will last here for half a year.
Half a year, almost the fastest speed that reinforcements from the Federal Military Department can arrive.
If the bigwigs in the military department pull a little bit, God knows how long this time will be extended.
Fortunately, on the day the expeditionary legion landed on Heaven No. 1, it killed a large number of beasts and collected the corpses of many giant beasts, which could feed tens of thousands of people for a long time.
Otherwise, Mu Peien is only afraid that he will be worried at the moment, and his head is full of gray hair.
"Tuk Tuk!"
There were a few rhythmic knocks on the door, and Mu Peien knew that it was his guard officer, so he sorted out his mood and called out in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door to the cabin was pushed open, and the guard officer walked in with a serious face, and reported respectfully:
"Corps Commander, this is a summary of the base's intelligence in the last few days. According to the analysis of reports from various places, in the past few days, the number and frequency of indigenous people appearing around the base have increased greatly compared with the past. ”
After a pause, and after Mu Peien had digested the information, the guard officer continued:
"So, the war room has come to the conclusion that the natives are likely to launch a major attack on our forward base in the short term."
Mu Peien was not surprised by this conclusion, he sighed leisurely and said:
"There is no need for those natives to attack, as long as they continue to besiege like this, it is unknown whether we can hold out until reinforcements from the Federal Military Department arrive."
Mu Peien narrowed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a fierce tone:
"I hope these guys don't push us too hard, otherwise, we'll activate the ultimate weapon and destroy this jungle completely, and see where these primitives can hide!"
"Legion Commander, this ......" the guard officer's expression was faintly worried, and he hesitated, "If we really destroy this jungle, I am afraid that there will be unfavorable voices against you from the federal government at that time, and then ......"
Mu Peien waved his hand violently: "I can't care so much, do you want these natives to trap the tens of thousands of soldiers of our expeditionary army here alive?" It's a big deal, it's better to have the military department dismiss me from my post when the time comes, than tens of thousands of sons and daughters dying here. ”
Although he said it resolutely, Mu Peien also knew that in the face of such a pristine and extremely conducive planet, the significance of the entire federation was really extraordinary.
If you really destroy this jungle completely, then what awaits you can only be a gloomy political future, and you may even be imprisoned, not necessarily.
You must know that although the current Federation has developed Mars and the Moon, after all, due to environmental factors, there are not too many people living on these two planets.
However, the total population of the entire federation has exceeded 50 billion, and the pressure generated by such a huge population is really the biggest problem facing the federation today.
Under this premise, the importance of an unpolluted planet like Paradise One to the Federation is really above everything else.
If it were up to the politicians of the Federation to decide, they would be willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers of the entire expeditionary legion, and they would not let themselves destroy this jungle.
After all, compared to relieving the heavy population pressure of the entire Federation, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are really insignificant.
After a moment of silence, Mu Peien's expression showed a slight hint of dejection, and he waved his hand and instructed the guard:
"Explain that during this time, the base has turned on the first-level defense alarm, and those natives must not be allowed to find loopholes to exploit. As long as those primitive people dare to come, they must be allowed to have a good taste of technology! ”
"Yes! Then the subordinate retired. ”
Seeing that Mu Peien finally gave up his crazy plan for the time being, the guard officer's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If those weapons with incredible destructive power were really used to destroy this large area of the jungle, he believed that the entire expeditionary legion would be greatly affected by then.
As the chief officer, the commander of the legion naturally cannot be spared, as the guard officer of the corps commander, will he be able to get out safely when the time comes?
I'm afraid that those jackal-like politicians will definitely step on their own feet without hesitation, so that they will never be overborn.
Although the situation of the entire expeditionary corps is now a little precarious, no one can say what kind of changes will occur in the future.
At the very least, with the material reserves in the base, there is no problem in supporting it for a while.
As long as they successfully survive this hurdle, when the reinforcements from the Federal Military Department arrive, the officers and men of the entire expeditionary corps will make brilliant achievements.
Yourself, maybe there is also the possibility of mentioning it? (To be continued.) )
