“…… The ACA's recent move to build and expand military bases in northern Italy has been criticized by some citizens, but there is enough official evidence that there is still a need for more military bases to protect against Allied aggression, and that today's sacrifice will be the germ of tomorrow's security...... News link: Robertson Stein, cartoonist arrested in Milan a week ago, executed, accused of using cartoons to slander ACA military ......"

"Jessy, did you meet TF over there?"

Ling Yu leaned against the cold inner wall of the base, took the anti-infantry grenade handed over by the Maca next to him, the young man groped with his fingers, and made sure that the pull ring had been removed, so he did not hesitate to flick off the handle fuse, and threw it in from the corner, and then threw his hand and shot the soldier who was about to kick the grenade back, and then watched the grenade finish his work of cleaning up the corner.

"No, as soon as I have a Qiē Shun lì on my side, the three large exits of the armory have all been destroyed, and those electromagnetic combat platforms will not be able to open for a while."

Jiesi's voice came from the microphone, although the other party couldn't see it, Ling Yu still nodded, and while walking forward, he pointed his finger at the security computer that was wedged into the wall with his finger, and was safe and sound under the shock wave of the attack grenade, Marka nodded knowingly, and rushed forward with the two Free Army soldiers who followed him, and after carefully confirming that there was no danger, he beckoned a technician wearing a beret to step forward and start manipulating.

"Others report progress."

"Linya Group 1 has taken control of the backup generator room and is laying explosives." Compared to the sporadic gunshots on Jeess's side, Linya is completely quiet in the background, and it does look more relaxed.

"Logan's third group, which has already controlled several necessary exits, is considering collapsing buildings to block the entrances and exits," Rogan's voice was a little nervous, and the unique roar of large-caliber sniper rifle bullets came from time to time in the background, "But I haven't encountered TF here either." ”

"It's not normal." Marka lowered the muzzle of his gun and leaned in, "There should be at least one rapid reaction team composed of 6 TFs in a base of this level, although it is not as experienced as the frontline, but it can definitely hold you back." ”

Ling Yu didn't answer, he nodded, this was also the reason why Ling Yu thought that Linya's group was the most dangerous group in advance, regardless of whether the other party's TF captain saw through the core target here, Linya, who was alone in the depths, was an extremely tempting target.

But now, because of the existence of the "non-engagement rule", Linya's task has become the easiest - the so-called "non-engagement rule" is part of countering the TF attack, that is, when there is no TF in the base or the TF is not in the front, ordinary soldiers can give up fighting the TF head-on to avoid unnecessary losses, of course, some soldiers will not give up so lightly.

However, the great chasm that borders on species differences cannot be bridged by simple courage and tactics.

"Could it be a trap, Ling Yu."

Han Fei's voice came from the earphones, the fifth group followed the fourth group a hundred meters behind, because the fifth group did not have a TF, so there were often small groups of ACA soldiers trying to outflank from the rear, so Ling Yu asked Maca to strengthen two-thirds of the strength of the fourth group to the fifth group, and indeed under Ling Yu's skilled combat skills, the ACA soldiers without TF could hardly hurt the commandos of the fourth group.

"It's a trap, but not here." Ling Yu pondered for a moment, then pressed the headphones, "Jiesi, if you get it done over there, you will go to support Logan, and dismantle the entire guard center, we must leave early and try to buy a little more time for the Free Army." ”

"You're worried about the rocket base?" Han Fei's voice couldn't hear the change in emotion, but this was an obvious conclusion - if the TF who should be guarding here left his post without permission, then the only possibility was that he was transferred to the rocket base, whether it was to strengthen the defense, or to set a trap, in short, he couldn't delay more time here.

"Why don't we wait here?" Suddenly, Linya's voice suddenly came out of the headset, and Ling Yu swept the UI interface in the contact lens of her right eye, showing that it was Ling Yu's special secret line, "The anti-satellite base has been attacked, it is estimated that the whole of Italy is fried, and the Eye of Unity still doesn't reinforce here?" ”

"I agree," Han Fei's voice remained emotionless, "this place the ACA can't use heavy weapons, shelling, bombing, and missiles have to consider the destruction of anti-satellite weapons bases, and they will be restrained." ”

"I'm afraid not." Ling Yu pressed the headset, "If we destroy the main computer and haven't reinforced, then it proves that the rocket base is definitely more important than ours here!" We can't afford to delay too much time, we have to do everything we can to avoid them stepping up their guard!"

"It's all at this time, what do you have to say!" It was Logan who plugged into the headset, and before the words fell, the sound of a sniper rifle shooting turned into a background sound and entered everyone's ears, "Ling Yu, quickly call your wife to help me, let's get here and go to the rocket base!"

"It's on its way!" Jesse didn't say much.

"That's it, it's over." Ling Yu turned off the channel and turned his head to look at the technical officer in the beret, "How far are we yet?" How long does it take to get to the host room? ”

"Coming soon!" The officer raised his right hand and knocked the return from the keyboard heavily, and there was a harsh metal grinding sound behind the closed door in front of him, "Just go down from the elevator in front, I have hacked the elevator control zhì and locked the elevator on the ground floor, but it can't last long, and the elevator door is manually closed by these corpses on the ground, you hurry up and blast open the door, break the sling and safety bolt, and then hang down." ”

"Roger!"

Ling Yu flicked out the shimmering dagger with his left hand, and the electric heating sheet was instantly turned on, and the dagger with thousands of degrees of heat easily cut into the alloy plate, slashing through the edge of the closed door, and then was kicked by the young man flying up and kicking it under the elevator shaft.

Turning off the heat-resistant scabbard where the dagger was inserted into his waist, Ling Yu raised his hand and interrupted the sling with a few shots from the ACA submachine gun in his hand - the mystery is that the guerrillas don't have so many fusion batteries for him to squander.

The Maca and the Free Army soldiers on the side were not idle, they took out smart grenades and shot them in the direction of the lower part of the elevator, and in the violent explosion, the safety lock collapsed instantly, and the elevator car fell to the bottom like an iron coffin, with the harsh sound of metal rubbing.

"The fourth group, the third squad, the fourth squad, and the fifth group, the second squad, stay to ensure the passage, and the others follow me, move fast!"

Ling Yu didn't speak, waiting for Maka to finish giving the order, and then fastened the rope to the large expanded steel spikes that were driven into the ground by the Free Army soldiers on the floor, nodded at Maca, and jumped deep into the pitch-black elevator shaft.

"Major General Herris! Now that the situation is critical, I ask you to immediately reinforce Novara with the TF detachment drawn from Novara, as well as all the TF forces at your disposal! That's an order! ”

Lieutenant General Clark Rosen, General Staff of the Anti-Cartel Monopoly Society, Army of the Mediterranean Front, slapped it on the table, his words were already very impolite, even if the girl in front of him was not as high as him, but the girl's administrative rank was one level higher than him, and it stands to reason that he should not use the tone of command.

But he has already been delayed here for twenty minutes, and yes, this is not his office, this is not even Turin, where his office is located, but the town of Vercelli, where the ACA's secret rocket center is located.

An hour earlier, he had received news that the anti-satellite weapons base in Novara had been attacked, and just when he couldn't figure out where the guerrillas had the audacity to attack the heavily guarded Novara base - the wild men in the mountains and forests could not even rush under the outer wall in the time of electromagnetic suppression - but the next news made him spill his coffee.

Four TFs appeared in the team attacking Novara! And they are all very powerful TFs, belonging to the Knights, the chief knight of the ACA codename "Rose" and Linya Petterson codenamed "Scabbard" are also among them, in addition to the wanted criminal Ling Yu who made trouble in South Africa and a lesser-known TF who uses a sniper rifle.

Clark Rosen immediately knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, he immediately received a call from Turin - as a liaison officer, he had to convince Helis, who had transferred most of the TF in the rear to Vercelli, to support Novara!

However, Lieutenant General Rosen's communication to Helis was coldly and politely rejected, and he had to personally travel to Vercelli in a high-speed helicopter to convince the stubborn Helis.

"Major General Herris, this is also a request from His Excellency the Minister of the Mediterranean Division." Chris Robin, the third deputy minister of the Mediterranean Division, who received Helis as the representative of the Eyes of Unity, also frowned, but his tone was much more polite, as a person inside the Eyes of Unity, he knew that even if Helis said that he would not send his men today, no one would be able to order her to do so—the only people who could order her from their positions were the triumvirate of Marshall Colona, the chairman of the Eyes of Unity, Charles Pierre, the chief of the general staff of the three services, and Clark Robertson, the president of the Society.

Looking up at Clark Rosen, who was almost crazy, Major General Robin smiled wryly - who made you Rawson and not Roberson.

On the other hand, Robin didn't think about calling Marshall, but Helis was authorized by Marshall in this operation itself, and the crazy army stupid guy over there didn't know, but he knew that the requirement of this black ops was to fully cooperate with Helis.

This is a direct order from His Excellency Marshall, and if there is a change in plans, I will need an order from the Presidium of the Eye of Unity.

Finally, Helis "spoke", and a line of text appeared on the television set behind him not far away, as if he were typing and chatting.

"I've already sent someone to contact General Marshall! But I'm afraid it's too late! I need reinforcements from the TF now, otherwise the entire Milan area could be attacked by satellite weapons! ”

Lieutenant General Rosen pushed the table and took two steps back, he now only felt that Herris would rather draw the TF detachment from the front than from the rear—the opposite of what he had thought a few days ago.

In fact, Ren Xiu, who was standing silently behind Helis at this moment, was also extremely surprised by the news—the silence was because he was not qualified to speak among a group of generals.

However, the silent major was considering another plan, and then he realized that this might be an opportunity to make the other plan more likely to succeed.

The expressionless major continued to look at the thunderous lieutenant general in front of him, and finally leaned down and whispered a few words softly in Helis's ear.

Alright then, you can send no more than 12 TFs to reinforce the Novara base.

"Thank you!"

I don't know why, Helis, who had been refusing, suddenly relented, and Lieutenant General Lawson was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran directly out of the room.

In the empty room, the gaze of Major General Chris Robin, who belonged to the Eye of Unity, lingered on the young colonel for a moment before turning away.

At the same time, North America, Ottawa, the First Command of the Global Strategic Defense Alliance Army.

All the command cores of the alliance, such as the Ministry of Defense, the Army, Navy and Air Force, and all the commands of the Space Force are above the 30,000-foot "Icarus", but considering the problem of communication and coordination, as well as morale, the three major branches of the military except the Space Force have set up ground commands, and the army, the first level of command is set up in Ottawa, and each theater has a second level of command, such as the European Theater Command in Heidenberg, Germany; the Asia-Pacific Theater Command in Huacheng; and the North American Theater Command at Fort Hood, Texas, and third-level commands such as Special Operations Command, which are scattered around the world.

Compared to the Army, the Navy's First Command is located in Vladivostok, which is also the anchorage of the Pacific Fleet Command and the First and Seventh Fleets of the Pacific, while Newport, Rhode Island, USA, has a Newport Second Command. The worst was the Air Force, which had only one First Class Command in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Not long after Ling Yu and the others began to attack, it was already early in the morning at the Ottawa Army Headquarters, when an intelligence officer knocked on the door of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army.

"General, urgent intelligence, from the Southern Alpine theater."

Although it was close to three o'clock in the morning, General Yang Song-taek, who is currently the deputy chief of the army's general staff, still did not sleep, he sat on the bed in his pajamas, leaned his mechanical prosthetic leg against the head of the bed, and sat on the bed to read the text in his hand.

"Show me." Yang Chengze took the electronic version, and then flipped it a few times, revealing a wry smile.

"These bunnies can really get me in trouble...... Xiao Su, help me up, I want to make a few calls. ”
