When the staff officer came, Nethan was hesitating to take the initiative to contact Wanluo War Emperor.

Although he is the commander of the fleet, in front of the Wanluo War Emperor, he is only a high-ranking general at most, and even if he is a general, he must not make a mistake.

The order of the Wanluo War Emperor was very clear, after reaching the lurking area, the fleet remained silent, and no matter what happened, it was not allowed to take the initiative to contact the rear. Only by receiving a new order can the silence be broken and act as ordered. Before, Nesen only accepted the order and did not take the initiative to contact Wanluo War Emperor. In fact, where Wanluo Zhanhuang is now and what he is doing, Nesen doesn't know at all.

"What is this?"

"Just received, communication equipment that has been confirmed to come from Carlson. Although the exact location has not been determined, it is definitely from Slag Star. ”

Nethan's brows tightened, and he looked at it again before returning the portable light brain to the staff officer.

"Commander ......"

"Since he's alive and there's something new to discover, let him do it himself." Nethan let out a long breath, thought for a moment, and then said, "Send two more legions, bring all the engineering troops of the other legions, and reappoint an engineering commander." Before Carlson's return, the newly appointed commander was in charge of the construction. The schedule remains the same, and it still has to be completed within the stipulated time. ”

"This ......"

"What, there is no suitable candidate?"

"No, it's not."

"That's because the engineering troops are not enough?"

"Not really."

"What's that?"

The staff officer hesitated for a moment before he said, "Carlson mentioned in his report that there is a huge network of tunnels under the Weeping Plains, and the structure is extremely complex, and he has only explored a small area so far. ”

"What's the impact?" Nethan was born in a combat unit and didn't know much about engineering.

"These tunnels make the geological structure of the Weeping Plains extremely complex. It is also very unstable, and the previous earthquake was caused by the collapse of a main tunnel. The staff officer sighed to himself, and said, "The Plain of Weeping was originally a main mine, and in order to mine the mineral deposits beneath the earth's crust, the miners at that time had a large scrapped transport ship crash into the Slag Star. The Plains of Weeping was a direct product of this impact. After that, it took about another hundred years to extract all the deposits underneath. Those tunnels were formed during this period and have been around for thousands of years. Although it did not collapse completely, after the arrival of our corps, especially after the construction of the barracks, the pressure created would certainly change the geological formation, which would cause a serious geological disaster. According to Carlson, Weeping Plains was not an ideal location to build a barracks. Even if there was no other choice, the barracks would have to be reduced, and the number of garrison corps would have to be reduced. ”

"There's no other way?"

The staff officer shook his head and said nothing.

"What else did he say?"

"He's still exploring the underground tunnels, but he hasn't found anything else yet."

"Can you get in touch with him?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?" Nethan looked at the staff officer in confusion.

His communication equipment was damaged in the earthquake and although he was able to send information, he was temporarily unable to receive it. He also mentioned that the problem will be solved as soon as possible. I just don't know when it will be fixed, after all, he's not a technician in this area. There are also no proper tools. ”

Nethan was slightly stunned, and his expression became gloomy.

To put it bluntly, Carlson's report was not detailed enough, and many issues were not clarified. For example, he proposed to reduce the number of legions stationed in the Weeping Plains, but did not mention how much. And also. He said it would be better to choose another place to build the barracks, but did not mention where it would be appropriate.

Obviously, these questions had to be asked to him.

It's just that I can't contact him at all now, so I can't ask him clearly.

"We can keep sending inquiries until he fixes the communications equipment. You can receive it, and you can report the situation in time. ”

As soon as the staff officer said this, Nethan's brow jumped a few times.

"Of course, we've been waiting for a few hours, and it's not a problem to wait a little longer."

"Just do as you say, but," Nethan hesitated for a moment, before he said, "Tell him that the plan for building the barracks remains unchanged, and that the Emperor of War has not issued a new order, and that the large army will arrive on time, so he must return as soon as possible and continue to organize and take charge of the construction of the barracks." Whatever the problem, report it to me directly. As for the issues he mentioned, I will consider it, but I will not make adjustments for the time being. ”

"He can't pick up our signal right now."

"He repaired the communications equipment and was able to return in time after receiving this order."

The staff officer nodded, and said nothing more.

Nethan also waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing else to order.

It wasn't until the staff officer walked away that Nethan sighed.

In fact, he knew very well that all the problems mentioned by Carlson existed, and they were very serious, but he had no right to change the orders issued by the Wanluo War Emperor himself.

So, do you want to ask Wanluo War Emperor?

Nethan was very hesitant, because this was against the will of the Wanluo War Emperor, even if it was extenuating, I am afraid that he would not be forgiven by the Wanluo War Emperor.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Neson decided to go according to the plan.

The key, of course, is to get Carlson back in time.

Although engineering commanders from other legions had been assigned to take charge of the construction of the barracks, no one was more familiar with the situation there than Carlson. Not only the barracks that are already taking shape, but also the geological formations of the Weeping Plains, so how to build this barracks, how big it can be, how long it will take to complete it, and what support will be needed to complete it on time.

It can be said that the only one who can get this barracks completed on time is Carlson.

It was in this way that Nethan gave such an order to the staff officer.

Find Carlson in time to get him back to the barracks in time. As for other matters, it would not be too late to make a decision after he returned to the barracks and reported the specific situation.

In any case, it is not impossible to send all the engineering units of the ten corps and provide some necessary equipment to complete the project within the specified time. At least in Nethan's view, as long as Carlson knows first-hand, there is hope that the project will be completed on time.

After thinking about it carefully, Nethan also calmed down and decided to follow the orders of the Wanluo War Emperor.

It's just that before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the staff officer hurriedly ran over.

This time, the staff officer sent not Carlsen's news, but an order from the Wanluo War Emperor.

After reading the order, Nethan's brows locked together.

"Commander?"

"That's all?"

The staff officer nodded, looking very embarrassed.

Nesen let out a long sigh and said, "Execute, there's nothing to discuss." ”

"But ......"

"Why, you dare to question His Majesty's decision?"

The staff officer gritted his teeth, didn't dare to say anything, turned around and walked away.

Actually, Nethan didn't have a taste in his heart.

This order was for him to send all the large warships in the fleet, as well as half of the warships in the forward fleet, to the designated place, and to carry it out immediately.

That's all there is to it, nothing else.

If this order had come from a few hours ago, Nethan would definitely have contacted Wanluo Zhanhuang to inquire about Wanluo Zhanhuang's intentions. It's just that now, patience feels that there is no need for this, because at the beginning, he made a judgment, or a guess, and he could think of the purpose of Wanluo War Emperor's arrangement.

Obviously, the decisive battle with the fleet that took place in the Gonn system had something to do with the Weaver Legion that was marching on the North Fourth Sector.

This order is tantamount to proving Nethan's guess.

You must know that the fleet commanded by Nethan has eighty percent of the standing warships of the Lei Ling Clan, and almost all of the standing capital ships are here. What's more, Slag is not far from the Gorn system, and Nethan is definitely the closest support force, and the only strategic force that can arrive in time to launch an attack. If the Wanluo War Emperor intends to attack the Star Soul Empress, Nethan's fleet is a surprise force.

In fact, the deployment made by the Wanluo War Emperor before was to sneak attack the Weaver Clan's fleet.

The purpose is also very simple, not to let the Weaver Clan become the first civilization to participate in the war in the North Fourth Region, and to ensure the dominance of the Lei Ling Clan in the Galactic Alliance.

Just, is it really necessary?

The thought of the imminent war with the Weavers made Nethan feel uncomfortable.

It's not that he has any affection for the Weavers, it's just that as a soldier, he has always believed that the Silicon Charm Alliance on the other side of the Grimm Meteorite Belt is the real enemy. Even if there is a contradiction with the Weaver Clan, it is an internal contradiction of the Galactic Alliance, and there is no need to fight each other. In addition, for thousands of years, the Thunderlings and the Weavers have lived in peace, sharing the benefits of dominating the Galactic Alliance.

Is it just for the sake of dominance, to turn against the allies?

Perhaps, the Wanluo War Emperor has other purposes.

Although it was very uncomfortable, as a soldier, he was still a high-ranking general who was valued by the Wanluo War Emperor, and Nesen did not have the courage to confront the Wanluo War Emperor.

In addition, Nethan realized that this was just the beginning.

The Emperor of War transferred most of the warships, but did not let Nethan go to the battle with the fleet, nor did he order the construction of the barracks to be stopped, and he did not even mention that the large army would not be stationed here. In other words, the previous order is still valid, and the large army of the Lei Ling Clan, that is, a hundred legions, will arrive on time.

Obviously, these 100 legions are of great value.

To put it simply, if the Thunder Ling fleet commanded by the Wanluo War Emperor wins, then the hundred legions that arrive at the Slag Star will go to the North Fourth District, become the first reinforcement to arrive, and control the Human Federation, and then use the Human Federation to influence the direction of this war. If the victory is won by the Weaver fleet commanded by the Star Soul Empress, these 100 legions will remain on the Slag Star and use it as a base to build a line of defense to block all shipping lanes from the Central Region to the Northern Region, preventing the Weavers from continuing to send troops to the Northern Region. Of course, after the situation deteriorates, the 100 corps stationed here will still be able to play a role in stabilizing and controlling the region.

Obviously, Wanluo Zhanhuang's plan is very sufficient, and a vicious battle is inevitable! (To be continued.) )
