Chapter 004: Zero-Clearance Plan

About 200 kilometers east of the capital city of Desa, an ancient palace complex the size of a small city is being built.

The buildings in this ancient palace complex are all in the same retro style, quite the architectural shadow of an empire that believed in "dragons" in the early days of mankind. Pavilions, pavilions, cornices, red bricks, wind lamps and candlesticks, but the simplicity reveals the luxury that cannot be concealed, and the scene of wealth and glory makes people unconsciously have a feeling of respecting and staying away.

Between the palace complexes, on the construction site where smoke and dust are flying, there are modern construction mechs of various types, and transport planes are constantly transporting piles of building materials. In the outer area of the construction site, some figures of light blue land armor can be vaguely seen, swaying back and forth from time to time. Rows of siege tanks and raider mechs can also be clearly seen from some vantage points.

Obviously, the construction of this palace must have been the relevant government departments, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that there would be so many marines and armored troops in Weishenme, acting as overseers. Moreover, whether in terms of the size of the palace complex or the degree of luxury, the astronomical cost of the entire project is probably beyond the reach of even the richest local tycoons in the whole federation.

In a gentle mountain area north of the palace, a military transport plane stopped at the highest point of the hillside, and not far below, this row of senior officers of the Fifth War Zone stood impressively, surrounded by a young man in a gorgeous marshal's uniform, pointing and discussing the construction site below.

"Tell me, what should I name this palace?" The young man in the marshal's uniform turned his head slightly, and asked loudly to the generals beside him with a smile. With a fair-skinned and handsome face and a slightly magnetic baritone, it is Lin Bin, the first person in the Fifth War Zone.

A few days ago, the headquarters of the Fifth Theater announced that the previous supreme commander of the theater, Auston, had finally passed away due to ineffective rescue. According to the so-called "last will" of the former commander, Lin Bin officially became the new supreme commander of the theater, and his military rank was suddenly promoted to marshal. This rank of marshal, looking at the entire Origin Earth Federation, is probably only Rui Youling alone.

There is no doubt that under the current political system of the Fifth War Zone, Lin Bin has given himself the greatest power and the most prominent position he can achieve. However, the new master of the Fifth War Zone clearly has more ambitions than these. Lin Bin has been tirelessly flipping through an ancient book called "Mein Kampf" recently. As we all know, the author of this book was once the founder of an imperial ** regime in human history. Although, that empire and that regime were defined as an anti-human and anti-peace fascist empire, with titles such as tyranny, killing, ugliness, and so on. But Lin Bin actually felt a sense of sympathy for the founder of the imperial regime.

In Lin Bin's opinion, since he has reached the stage of the pinnacle of power, he should enjoy everything he has worked so hard for. The feeling of being above hundreds of millions of people has made this young man who can stand tall and ambitious.

The establishment of an unprecedented empire in human history has become a new and perhaps ultimate goal in Lin Bin's heart.

With the strong strength possessed by the Fifth War Zone, Lin Bin was confident that in his lifetime, even in just a few years, he would be able to build such a powerful empire with his own hands, an empire that belonged to him alone.

After having an unusually clear goal, Lin Bin's pace was getting faster and faster. And the construction of this large-scale ancient building palace complex, in Lin Bin's mind, is just the first small step on the road to that empire. He wanted to build himself a glorious palace of great symbolic significance, like the great imperial monarchs in human history.

"Your Excellency, the palace complex is so grand, why don't we call it 'Wuji Palace'! As soon as Lin Bin's voice fell, the generals behind him first whispered in a low voice, and then a middle-aged general touched his goatee, smiled very reservedly, and suggested to Lin Bin.

"Wuji Palace? Why? Lin Binjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, learning the words of the ancients, and asked elegantly.

"The so-called infinity means that there is never a border, never end. The subordinate means that the deeds of His Excellency the Commander must be as endless as the name of this palace! Of course, this is just a superficial opinion of the lower officials! Please also ask Your Excellency the Commander to be clear! The goatee admiral bowed slightly, but his expression was extremely respectful.

"Never-ending? Well, kind of interesting! Lin Bin rubbed his thin and pointed chin, said thoughtfully, and then looked at the other generals and asked, "What are the opinions of the other generals?" ”

"Back to Your Excellency the Commander, the lower officer thinks that General Sima's insights are very exquisite! The deeds created by His Excellency the Commander will be a great feat that has never been done before or since, and it will definitely be endless, so that all the people will admire it! Wuji is great, Wuji is great! An old general with slightly gray temples nodded and shouted in a crepe manner, and the other generals were busy humming together.

"Hehe, so to speak, everyone thinks the name "Wuji Palace" is very good? Lin Bin asked with a smile, and then suddenly waved his sleeves, turned around and raised his head slightly, and deeply admitted the seemingly boundless palace community at the foot of the mountain, and then suddenly said loudly: "Okay!" That handsome palace, let's call it "Wuji Palace"! ”

"Your Excellency the Commander is wise!" Seeing this, the generals and officials were actually learning from the ministers of the ancient feudal empire, and shouted in unison. The behavior of these high-ranking officers in the Fifth Theater may be a little too strange in the eyes of many modern people. However, if you know that almost all the generals above the rank of major general in the Fifth War Zone have a list of ancient books selected by Lin Bin himself, and the generals should familiarize themselves with those classical books that have the flavor of the feudal empire in the shortest possible time, then maybe you will not be so surprised.

"Haha, all the generals, you have to do your best to help Ben Shuai and create an infinite feat! How is it? Lin Bin seemed to be suddenly in high spirits, and he was really like an ancient commander, holding his head high and facing the generals and officials.

"Swear allegiance to the marshal!" The tone of the generals this time was vaguely uneven, and Lin Bin's expression froze when he heard it, and he was vaguely displeased.

"Your Excellency, Commander! The Pune Planet Emergency Telegram was sent back by the Task Force Commander! At this time, a major general officer hurriedly got down from the transport plane behind him, and quickly ran to Lin Bin's side, respectfully holding an ultra-thin communication terminal.

This major general is none other than former Colonel Li Hua, who has been serving as Lin Bin's military adjutant. Although Lin Bin is a cool and beautiful woman, and there are many beautiful officers with good looks and charms in the secretarial department specially set up for him, once it comes to specific military and political affairs, Lin Bin still relies on male officers who are reliable and efficient. It was precisely because he had been following Lin Bin and serving conscientiously that this Major General Li was directly promoted by Lin Bin to be the adjutant of the major general, and became the highest-ranking adjutant in the entire theater in one fell swoop.

"Pune?" Lin Bin was vaguely angry at the inadvertent "dereliction of duty" of the generals, and Li Hua's abrupt interruption made his originally smiling white face suddenly gloomy, and he responded coldly: "Connect it!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Lin Bin's expression made Li Hua's heart jump suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he might have been unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun. However, at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and click on the communication terminal.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The hologram on the terminal flashed, and a lieutenant general with a slightly chubby figure and a broad face appeared, respectfully saluting Lin Bin and shouting loudly.

"General Collins, I hope you don't bring bad news to Ben Shuai!" Lin Bin frowned, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Uh, Your Excellency Commander, the battle situation on the planet Puen is a little tight, and the lower officials want to ......" Hearing Lin Bin's hint, the lieutenant general was slightly stunned, and his heart tightened and he vomited.

"Just say it!" Seeing this, Lin Bin was even more angry, and said categorically, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Collins felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly realized that he was definitely touching the head, and the report actually caught up with Lin Bin when he was not in a good mood. But like that Adjutant Li Hua, he had no choice but to bite the bullet at this moment and continue to report: "Your Excellency Commander Qiqi, according to the report of the front-line troops, the main force of the alien insect force on the planet Puen has increased dramatically in just a few days. The various interdiction forces sent by our contingent to cover the evacuation of the refugees have also seen a significant increase in casualties. Without follow-up reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold out until the moment when all the refugees from Planet Puen are evacuated! ”

"Go on!" Seeing that Lin Bin's face was getting more and more ugly, Collins only halfway through his words, he closed his mouth in amusement. However, Lin Bin obviously saw that Collins had something to say, and he drank it again with a black face.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Collins frowned, he didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and hurriedly responded tremblingly: "The subordinate means, please ask the Supreme Command of the Theater to continue to send another task force reinforcement to assist in the evacuation of millions of refugees from the planet Pune." In addition, because of the slow evacuation of refugees, please consider whether the implementation of "zero-COVID" jihua can be postponed! ”

"Postpone clearing Jihua?" Lin Bin frowned and repeated, then turned back to Li Hua beside him and asked, "Where is the fleet that carried out the clearance of Jihua now?" ”

"Back to Your Excellency Commander, they have already stayed in the star field 200,000 kilometers away from the planet Pune! Because there is still about a day and a half before the zeroing of Jihua, this fleet is not yet ready to enter the atmosphere of the planet Puen! Li Hua hurriedly bowed his head and reported respectfully.

"Well, a day and a half!" Lin Bin nodded when he heard this, and then said to Collins: "General Collins, you also heard it!" The fleet that carried out the zeroing of Jihua is already on standby near the planet Pune, and there is an old saying that the arrow is ready to be sent on the string! Do you want our mighty fleet to continue to roam outer space and waste precious military resources? This commander must consider the overall situation, and after sweeping away the insects on the planet Pune, this fleet must also rush to other fronts to carry out more important tasks! So, I believe that if you were the boss, you wouldn't agree to postpone the execution of jihua, right? ”

"In addition, I am afraid that this commander will not be able to promise you about the dispatch of additional reinforcements, General Collins!" After a pause, Lin Bin saw that Collins opened his mouth in astonishment, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, his face suddenly eased, and he said with a slight smile: "Same as the previous reason, Ben Shuai doesn't want to spend more valuable military resources on the barren planet where birds don't poop in Pune. However, Ben Shuai could have ordered that fleet that was to clear Jihua send a small fleet to withdraw your task force from that damn planet in advance! ”

"Withdraw early? Your Excellency, what about the millions of refugees on that planet? Hearing Lin Bin's words, Collins Stuttered in amazement.
