Of course, for the sake of insurance, the military here will not kick out all the soldiers in the existing system in the short term, they will first test the actual combat ability of the second phase of soldiers, and then let all the first phase of soldiers retire. ,!

Therefore, in order to complete the recruitment of soldiers in a short period of time, they still need to do some work to speed up the process. Get the veterans out of the federal government here quickly.

This part of the plan is complicated, there are many steps, and there is a certain risk of failure, Hargrave will be responsible for the implementation of this part, and Roy will protect him in close proximity.

Custer will be ready to respond and support in orbit at any time, while Shen Chao will immediately leave Earth to recruit the best member of the first phase of the soldiers, the protagonist of the movie: Todd.

Compared to the difficulty of recruiting other soldiers who were still in the army, it was relatively easy to recruit Todd, who had been officially recognized as dead.

He did not die in an accident, but was abandoned. As the best of the soldiers, in the past 20 years, he has led other soldiers to victory after victory on various battlefields.

Since the enemies are also well-trained professional troops, there are also soldiers with comparable technical strength and similar soldiers. Therefore, he also lost a large number of comrades in those tragic battles.

How did the Federation repay him and his fellow soldiers for their tremendous contributions? They have developed a batch of faster, taller, and stronger recruits to replace them!

He hated the military that ruthlessly abandoned him, and it was relatively difficult to recruit. Shen Chao left with Alice after returning to Chicago.

He left the safety of the ground operations team in Custer's care, while he and Alice took a shuttle to the Arcadia star system.

After a two-day voyage. They arrive and find Trashdump Star 376, where Todd was "dumped". As usual, they set up a satellite monitoring system here and quickly found the human settlement.

As in the film, there is a bunker-like human settlement near a garbage removal dojo, which is attributed to at least 200 people, according to the results of thermal image analysis.

After confirming the conditions on the ground, they slowly landed the shuttle near the dojo, and after securing the shuttle, they put on their helmets and walked out of the hatch together.

It's not the same as usual. The natural environment of the planet they arrived on this time is very unfriendly, and there are often strong winds of more than 10 on the surface of the planet.

The high winds were mixed with rocks and various metal waste, which was very deadly. Although it would have been difficult for such a gale to blow them away wearing the new armor, they still brought ice axes and ropes to be prepared in case of a sudden attack in case of a sudden attack by such a strong wind.

The reason why the two didn't wear safety ropes to their respective armor was because of Alice's ability to quickly create a dark energy barrier to protect the two of them in the event of an emergency.

The two men grabbed their weapons and reconnaissance equipment and headed towards the gathering place 25 kilometers away. If nothing else, their key recruitment targets are there right now.

It's a garbage dump. The remains of various industrial products can be seen everywhere. Cars that use chemical fuels, rusty pipes, discarded military weapons...... There's everything here, and it looks like a pre-industrial exhibition park.

"Look there, how did they throw this thing here?" On the way, Alice sighed when she saw a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier buried in the sand in the distance.

The aircraft carrier lies on its side in the sand, part of its hull has been buried in the sand, but its huge body is still above the ground, exuding the momentum of the past across the oceans.

"Their largest transport ship is close to 600 meters long, so. It's still no problem to transport an aircraft carrier of more than 300 meters. This should be the Reagan that was sunk in the Battle of Shanghai before......" Shen Chao checked the history of the battle and confirmed.

The Earth of this dimension has experienced a series of wars in the past few decades, and countless technical equipment have been lost in the war. This aircraft carrier is one of them.

In that war 20 years ago, this huge aircraft carrier was hit by 3 enemy anti-ship missiles and sank instantly, being the last aircraft carrier to sink in battle.

Due to its large size, it blocked the shipping channel when it sank, so it was only later after the war that it was lifted by oversized transport ships and eventually abandoned here.

The emotion is over. They continued on their way, and along the way they saw a lot of strange "garbage", fighter jets, submarines with only half of their bodies left...... The reason why these pieces of equipment are not recycled on Earth is because they were all destroyed in previous nuclear wars.

Many of them are heavily polluted by nuclear weapons and have extremely high levels of radiation. You can't just rebuild it like normal obsolete equipment.

In order to rebuild the partially destroyed ecological environment on Earth, the federal government on Earth has been cleaning up the ruins of various nuclear wars for more than ten years, and dumping the high-radiation items inside on this distant garbage planet.

Back in the present, Shen Chao and Alice arrived at the human settlement here after a few minutes' walk, which is an underground construction area that looks like it was built using various waste materials.

On a sand dune far from the target, Shen Chao and the others turned on the concealment mode of the armor, lay on the ground and began to observe the main body's underground building. And sent several drones to scan them up close.

At this time, in the underground building, Todd has not fully recovered, and he still has the scars left by the last "training", and the internal injuries are not yet healed. At this time, he was learning to grow crops in the greenhouse.

He had been accepted by the refugees here for a few days, and the people here had fled here, and the original destination was naturally not this barren garbage planet, but the ship's failure allowed them to finally settle here.

Although Todd's reticence and his strong physique have made him feared by the people here, there are also some who have embraced his existence.

At this time, one of the women who rescued him was teaching him how to grow vegetables. An important source of food for the people here is fresh vegetables grown in several greenhouses. So in addition to them, there are many people here who are also growing new season vegetables.

Todd watched the other man's movements with a blank face, and after the woman finished showing it, he clumsily imitated it, trying to plant the vegetable seedlings in his hand like the woman.

Like any other professional soldier, his palms were thick and his fingers were thick, and for the past thirty years or so, he had been saving them for the purpose of killing, but now he was trying to learn to grow crops.

Just after he had buried a vegetable seedling, he suddenly felt the danger, like the feeling of being suddenly discovered by the enemy on the battlefield.

He has often felt this feeling during the many wars over the past few decades. It was true most of the time, and that feeling saved his life many times.

So, Todd trusted his instincts so much that he stood up straight and looked overhead. Then he suddenly strode out of the greenhouse and ran towards the exit.

"Stop scanning, withdraw the drone......" Shen Chao said immediately after seeing Todd's reaction on the image, and then he and Alice took back the drones they were operating.

One of the drones he was piloting had just been performing a tomography scan over the greenhouse, and Todd had barely begun to scan when he noticed an anomaly. So he knew that the other party must have sensed something.

Sure enough, soon a figure appeared in their sight, and at the exit of the bunker about 1,000 meters away from them, Todd's figure suddenly appeared.

With a gun in his hand that he had gotten out of nowhere, the veteran rushed out of the underground building and quickly found a bunker, and then vigilantly surveyed the sky and surroundings, apparently looking for something.

"It seems that our candidates have a very sharp intuition. Seeing this, Alice quipped, it was the first time she saw Shen Chao messing up when he was investigating.

"Yes, it's a good thing, his instincts are much more sensitive than we expected, which means that our review doesn't take too long. Shen Chao replied with a little gratification, he didn't care about the smugness in his girlfriend's words.

Soon a large group of residents followed Todd out of the bunker, but they didn't follow Todd out to guard, in fact, Todd had just grabbed a gun and rushed out, so these people were actually here to escort him back.

After a brief negotiation, Todd returned the gun and followed the men back to the bunker. He had just observed for a while and found no danger, so he thought that his instincts had been wrong.

Shen Chao and Alice didn't interfere with the process either, they just watched Todd be misunderstood and brought back to the bunker. And send the drone back to continue scanning.

Their mission at this stage was to test Todd's abilities, and since they were going to let this man lead the soldiers they were about to recruit, they had to get to know this man first. This observation will continue into the later part of the story.

Meanwhile, in a building in New York City, on the same plane of Earth, Hargrave finished tidying up his suit. The old man now looks very energetic, and a well-fitting suit makes him look only 5 or 60 years old.

Next to him stood Roy, who was also dressed in a suit. Both of them were carrying shield generators, and unlike the old man, Roy also carried weapons, both on the back of his waist and in the briefcase he was holding. If the meeting doesn't go well after a while, they can also take plan b.

In a dark room on the opposite building, Jonathan was holding a sniper rifle ready to support, and outside the atmosphere, Custer and Dr. Neville were ready to pick everyone out.

They are here because in a few minutes, Hargrave is going to be here for a commercial negotiation with representatives of the federal military......
