Chapter Seventy-Nine: Precursors to War

After listening to Yang Yi and Lin Feng, Lin Liexun's brows were tightly locked. Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Liexun was still shocked by the things that the two of them experienced in the chaotic land. Far from being destroyed, the "Kuhn-Barrion Fortress" has been controlled by a recluse for a thousand years. If it weren't for Yang Yi's urgency, they would never have been able to get out of the chaotic place. Fortunately, after going through a lot of hardships, Yang Yi and the others found the long-lost "Xiangyu Flying Dragon" and "Split Earth Xuanwu", and also repaired the "Cold Ice and Snow Tiger". The gathering of four legendary fighters means that the strength of the third theater has been greatly improved.

"Seventh Uncle, the ...... of the 'Dawn of Peace' campaign thousands of years ago"

"Like you, I don't know." Lin Liexun let out a long breath and said, "After the Fifth Greenwich War, there are only nine theater commanders who are still alive. What really happened at that time, only they know. But your experience is proof enough that the Battle of Dawn of Peace is not what we know, and it is a disguised proof of the long-rumored rumors. ”

"What rumors?" Yang Yi didn't quite understand.

Lin Liexun shook his head with a wry smile, gave Lin Feng a look, and asked Lin Feng to speak.

"It is said that on the eve of the end of the 'Dawn of Peace' campaign, Lin Shuai resolutely opposed the truce with the Silicon Phantom Alliance, and decided to lead the legions of the Third War Zone to continue the attack, offending the seven top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Clan. At that time, many people thought that Lin Shuai's move was to avenge Yan Zhanlong and other generals. Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "It's a pity that after the seven top civilizations collectively intervened, and the other eight theaters had no intention of attacking, Lin Shuai could only accept the armistice agreement, and the 'Dawn of Peace' campaign came to an end." Shortly thereafter, Lin Shuai hibernated first in preparation for the next Greenwich War, and eight other theater commanders followed suit. ”

"In this way, Lin Shuai should know the truth, but he can't say it."

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"Well, the use of the Land of Chaos as a forbidden area must have something to do with it."

"That's not something we need to care about." Lin Liexun pulled the topic back. "It's a great achievement that you've been able to come back and find two long-lost warplanes. I will report to the Chief of Staff truthfully and ask for credit for you. It's just that you have to keep it a secret, and you can't make it public until you make the right arrangements. The situation is delicate now, and I am afraid that the sixth GMT war is not far away. ”

The two immediately nodded in agreement.

"How are you going to settle those mercenaries?"

"Uncle Seven, if it weren't for them......"

"Colonel, do you have any good advice?" Yang Yi stopped Lin Feng's words. Although Lin Liexun is Lin Feng's seventh uncle and also values Yang Yi very much, it is related to the interests of the war zone, and there is no favor to talk about at all. As long as he can keep it a secret, Lin Liexun will not care about the lives of a few mercenaries, let alone that they have helped Lin Feng before. If Lin Liexun was in his position, Yang Yi would do the same.

"Can they be trusted?" Lin Liexun did not rush to make a statement.

Lin Feng nodded vigorously.

"I can vouch for them." Yang Yi said very directly. After going through so many things, Yang Yi believes that Jackson is a friend he can trust.

Lin Liexun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Although there is no precedent, as far as I know, they all have Origin Converters, and they have all reached the level of soldiers, especially the regimental commander named Jackson, whose combat power is above that of a tenth-level soldier, and he may already be a warrior." If the Sixth Greenwich War breaks out, people like this will be the darlings of all parties, and there is nothing we can't say about preparing for war in advance. ”

"Uncle Seven means ......"

"I didn't mean anything, and I didn't say anything. After all, I am only a staff officer of the Theater Command, and I have no real power, so I can't compare to you, the captain of the special investigation team. ”

"Seventh Uncle......

"Thank you, Uncle Seven, for your advice."

As soon as Yang Yi said this, Lin Feng realized that Lin Liexun was asking her to suck Jackson and others into the special investigation team and make the mercenaries become professional soldiers.

"Okay, if you have time, go talk to them. Whether or not to join the third war zone has to be decided by them, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet. Lin Liexun smiled, got up and said, "Besides, before returning to the theater command, you should also prepare well." ”

"Ready?" Lin Feng also stood up.

"The return of the 'Cold Ice and Snow Tiger' is already known to passers-by, although no one objects to letting the 'Cold Ice and Snow Tiger' stay in the special investigation team, but there is a lot of controversy over the selection of the driver, not only the garrison force, but even the fleet has intervened." Lin Liexun let out a long breath and glanced at Yang Yi meaningfully before he said, "No one else can be blamed for this matter, the garrison force and the fleet are both standing forces in the theater, and anyone has the right to compete." In order to calm the situation and to justify the situation, the theater command will hold a pilot selection assessment. So far, more than 100,000 soldiers have signed up for the assessment, and only one person can become a driver. Xiao Yang, I'm optimistic about you. But don't take it lightly, and don't think that you can sit back and relax. ”

"Understood, thank you Uncle Seven for reminding me."

Lin Liexun nodded, and then turned to leave.

Yang Yi also secretly sighed, he didn't expect the matter of the "Cold Ice Snow Tiger" to make such a big fuss, but those soldiers who signed up to participate in the assessment, I'm afraid more than half of them went to Lin Feng, after all, what Lin Feng swore was not a secret at the beginning, and there must be a lot of people who pursued her.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who have a crush on you."

"What, jealous?"

"Am I going to be jealous? It just shows that I'm a very discerning person, right? ”

"Still proud!" Lin Feng pinched Yang Yi's arm hard. "Seriously, if you lose, I'll die in front of you."

"Don't, you're dead, what should I do?"

"Die with me!"

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Although he looked like a hippie smile, Yang Yi felt a lot of pressure in his heart. 100,000 people participated in the assessment, even if Yang Yi took the lead and had mastered the driving method of the "Cold Ice and Snow Tiger", he did not dare to say that it was foolproof. Besides, who can guarantee that the Luo family and the Du family will not do anything in secret?

After spending some time with Lin Feng, Yang Yi went to find Jackson and the others.

Regarding the matter of joining the special investigation team, Jackson and Justin raised their hands in favor, and the other six mercenaries did not object, Yang Yi made the decision for Lin Feng and organized them into a team, with Jackson as the team leader, Justin as the deputy of the team, and the others were awarded the corresponding military ranks according to their combat strength.

A few hours later, the fleet returned to its home system.

It's only been a few days, but the home system has completely changed. The fleets of the nine theaters all returned and were stationed in their respective home ports. Hundreds of warships are parked in low-earth orbit at the 3rd Theater Command, and huge transport ships are constantly coming in and out of the spaceport. In the theater headquarters, there was a three-step post and a five-step sentry, and there were guards with loaded guns and ammunition everywhere, and the staff officers were also in a hurry.

Could it be that the Sixth Greenwich War has already broken out?

After settling Yang Yi and the others, Lin Liexun left. Lin Feng was not idle, and took this opportunity to ask the staff officer he knew about the news.

"How?"

"Several colonized planets have been attacked, and several more colonized planets have lost contact and may also be attacked." After taking a sip of the water cup handed by Yang Yi, Lin Fengcai said, "These colonial planets are distributed in nine war zones, and the federal authorities have raised the alert level. It's just that according to the information obtained so far, it is not yet possible to conclude that the Silicon Charm Alliance launched the invasion, and the Galactic Alliance did not launch a war mobilization. ”

"Rebellion?" Jackson muttered.

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Jackson.

"The problem is that it is already unusual for so many colonized planets to rebel at the same time, and there must be forces secretly supporting and instigating it." Jackson let out a long sigh and said, "I heard that in the past, before launching an invasion, the Silicon Charm Alliance would often create trouble on our side, distract us, and leave us with no time to worry about anything else. If we draw troops from the Greenwich Line to quell the judgment, we have fallen into the trap of the Silicon Alliance. ”

"Indeed, before the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, a large number of colonies rebelled, otherwise our defenses would not have been quickly broken through by the invading forces of the Silicon Alliance." Lin Feng sighed and said, "Obviously, this is a precursor to the Sixth Greenwich War. ”

"If that is the case, I am afraid that the federal authorities will soon mobilize for war." Justin walked over and said, "As long as the war breaks out, the days of peace will be over." ”

The other six mercenaries also gathered around, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

Although mercenaries are masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, for them, war is the worst thing, because it means that they must respond to the call of the Federation, join the Federation army, and work for the Federation as soldiers, which also means that the happy days are over.

In fact, no one wants war to break out.

The peaceful and prosperous era has been maintained for thousands of years, and the trillions of citizens and civilians of the Human Federation, almost all of whom were born and raised in peacetime, have long forgotten the cruelty of war, and even blindly believe that the peaceful and prosperous era will last forever, and war will never break out again.

"It's useless to talk about it now." Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "We are just small soldiers, and we can't decide whether or not war breaks out, and when." There's no need to be cranky here. Just wait to see the chief of staff and find an opportunity to ask for clarification. ”

As soon as Yang Yi said this, Jackson and Justin didn't talk nonsense.

Fortunately, Lin Liexun didn't let Yang Yi and Lin Feng wait. Half an hour later, he rushed back and took Yang Yi and Lin Feng to see General Lin Xiaoting.
