Chapter 197: The Prelude to the War (Part II)

"Isn't that weird?" Bing Xue didn't need to look this way to know what the expression on Gao He's face was. For her, how could a person like Gao He, who had not experienced a real war, who had not experienced civilians trembling under the bullets of both sides of the war, understand the cruelty of war. Maybe now you are still looking forward to making achievements and killing all sides!

"Not strange." Gao He shook his head and threw the excitement before the war in his mind to the back of his mind, and felt that he was too romantic in his imagination of the war: "Let's go back quickly!" ”

Nothing was said all the way to the general's command post. The command post is now also swept away from the leisurely time when Gao He arrived, people come and go, and it looks very busy, but the security is more strict, Gao He and Bingsha have gone through at least four passes, and they need to be confirmed by the headquarters before they are allowed to enter.

The overall feeling is that there is an atmosphere of a big war, and Gao He is also infected by this atmosphere, and his body is getting more and more erect, majestic and high-spirited, as if he is about to enter the battlefield.

At the entrance of the general's headquarters building, there was also an inspection post, but Gao He had already been taken care of by the people inside, and he was not subjected to any trouble.

"Report, Lieutenant Camel is ordered to report for duty!" A neat military salute and a crisp voice woke up the general who was thinking about it, looked at Gao He, and nodded: "Come here, and carefully explain the situation you have mastered." ”

Next to it was a conference room, in which there were now a bunch of combat staff officers, who were immersed in their respective positions and analyzed. I could hear a few staff officers giving orders, moving the fleet, assigning soldiers or something.

A bunch of generals with flowers on their shoulders sat in front of their chairs and listened to Gao He's report on the situation. Although Gao He only brought his own speculation, these are precious materials that need to be analyzed by professionals in combination with the information they have obtained before, and they will be analyzed by professionals to draw conclusions. Is it really going to be war?

Who is the enemy? Confidential, Gao He's level, although he is deeply trusted by the general, but he can't get specific information. And Gao He's purpose in coming here this time seems to be just to tell everyone about his business trip.

When? I don't know, confidential. If it is really a war, at least until the enemy starts it, we have no reason and excuse to preemptively go to war. If you want to win a moral victory and win the support of the people, you have to dress yourself up as a victim and fight back. These are all political things, Gao He doesn't understand them, and he doesn't want to get involved.

The next task, the general did not clearly arrange. Now they are basically preparing for the war, and the general will not waste his precious time for him and Bingsha. At this moment, if you can prepare a little more, the chances of winning will be greater.

The bored Gao He could only watch others be unusually busy, but he didn't have any instructions. It seems that the entire command post has now been transferred to a state of wartime martial law, and it cannot be walked around at will, so it can only stay honestly in a large empty conference room in the command building. Fortunately, there is Bingsha and himself as a companion, so it won't be too boring.

The military's actions cannot hide from the eyes of the media. If it is a covert operation, there may not be any signs, but a large-scale military movement, without any reason, will naturally give rise to a series of speculations.

"Large-scale secret military exercises by the military?"

"Suspicious military moves!"

"Strongly condemn the irresponsible transfer of the military!"

……

"The people have the right to know the truth!"

In less than a few hours, various media began to report on this large-scale military movement in the Beta Star Field, and many media reporters rushed to the military's propaganda department as soon as possible, waiting for the official press conference.

"Do you think there will be a war?" Gao He looked at the overwhelming reports on TV, and then looked at Bingsha on the opposite side and asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Bing Sha replied to Gao He lightly.

"I just...... Just a little excited! Affected by the tense atmosphere outside, Takatsuru now longs to go to the front line of the war immediately.

Bing Xue looked at Gao He's uneasy situation and shook his head: "Even if there is a war, I will not send you to the front line." You don't have to be so nervous. ”

"Why?" Gao He doesn't understand, isn't he the best soldier? Why can't the best soldier be on the battlefield where he is most needed?

"No why, because maybe there will be no war at all!" Bing replied lightly, as if all the questions had nothing to do with him.

Now Gao He didn't understand it even more. He's a good soldier, but he's not a good commander yet, and there are a lot of things he doesn't understand.

"Do you see any other reports besides our troops moving?" Bing Xu pointed to the overwhelming footage on TV: "Our journalist friends have great powers, but why didn't they mention a word about war?" ”

Gao He watched it for a long time, and it was indeed like this. All discussions about large-scale military movements focused on military exercises, guard changes, and illegal transfers, but there was not a single mention of war. Could it be that these media outlets were all taken over by the military at the same time and unified their mouthpieces?

"Who is our enemy? What is there about the movement of materials and personnel in the war situation? How large? Bingsha had basically closed his eyes to the lame speculation now: "What is the size of an enemy that can match our army?" You can't have no clues, right? ”

"Then why are our troops being mobilized?" Gao He didn't understand it even more, but his strong curiosity forced him to bow his head and ask for advice.

"How do I know. Or you should ask the general. Bingsha replied.

Now that the general is busy, how can Gao He ask. Even if he asked, the general would not tell him, it had already been said before, confidential. Gao He's security level is very high, but he is not qualified to participate in the handling of this matter.

Soon, Gao He and Bingsha would no longer have to sit in the conference room. An operational staff officer came in with the general's order to return immediately to the base of the executioner's unit and be on standby.

The entire United Council has a total of more than 130 million troops scattered across several star fields. Most of them are in mature star fields that have been settled, and a small number are stationed in the energy planets and twin planets that are being developed. There are hardly any particularly deserted armies, and in the face of such a huge army, what kind of enemy can mobilize almost enough strength under his nose?

Gao He kind of believed Bingsha's words. But on the other hand, it is Bingsha who guesses about war, and it is Bingsha who denies war, what does Bingsha mean? Could it be that the fat man Hans and Lao Xu have a problem?

The executioner unit has received orders, three levels of combat readiness, and is ready to attack at any time. All ships have undergone further overhauls and weapons have been fully assembled. Energy crates are distributed in maximum quantities according to wartime standards, and no one is allowed to leave the base at will.

Such an atmosphere, not a war, what is it?

Everyone is preparing in an orderly manner. Receive supplies and maintain firearms. They were all peacetime soldiers, and they were basically brainwashed from the boot camp, and everyone seemed to have a fanaticism, and the whole base was surrounded by this fanaticism.

No one was talking to each other, everyone was quietly preparing for each other. It is estimated that since the War of Unification, the entire army of several generations has not experienced such a big battle, and everyone is very excited.

The thing that makes it easier for Gao He and Bingsha is that they don't have to take care of their weapons. The weapons on the body are maintained at all times, but they are much more troublesome and advanced than these techniques.

The beautiful woman wiped her weapon quietly, since Gao He entered the executioner unit, she hadn't maintained her weapons for everyone. Beauty has not been very good in this regard, and her movements are always one beat slower than others.

One hand took the weapon from the hands of the beauty, carefully and professionally disassembled, maintained, and let the rear assembly. The beauty looked up and saw Gao He's face. However, neither of the two spoke, the beauty looked at Gao He quietly, and Gao He quietly maintained her weapons. Gao He's methods were obviously much more professional than those of the beauty, and soon the pile of weapons in front of the beauty was checked.

"No matter what the mission, be careful!" didn't say anything, and Gao He couldn't see through what he was doing, so he could only use the simplest words to tell the beauty to be careful.

"You too!" The beauty responded faintly. Although the tone is very flat, it seems that it takes all the energy of the whole body to speak.

From General Hammer's side, some simple information can be obtained that is not particularly classified. Most of them are a certain fleet movement to assemble at a certain point and establish a defensive position. A strategic material convoy delivers supplies to a space base, and so on.

The time has finally come to uncover the mystery. After almost four or five days of busyness, the entire process of mobilizing the army was completed, and basically all the troops were in place and had completed their initial assembly and base building tasks as required.

The military's press conference officially began at nine o'clock in the morning GMT on the fifth day. The media, which were notified, dispatched reporters to the scene almost instantly. In addition to the largest media outlets, there are also many smaller media outlets that are lucky enough to get one or two interview slots and flock to them.

The press conference was held in a huge stadium with open air. In addition to such a venue, the average convention center cannot accommodate such a large number of media personnel.

The people in charge of order at the scene were all military personnel, and the media were also relatively cooperative, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the start of the press conference from their positions, and there were some whispered discussions from time to time.

All military personnel, except those on duty, were asked to watch the press conference.

The mystery is about to be revealed.
