In the command center of the Longtan base, all kinds of staff officers are busy nervously, one command after another is flashing rapidly on various holographic screens, and groups of real-time combat data on various battlefields are also constantly being updated. Although the huge army of insects attacking Tiko City was "bombarded" by Haoyi with the battleship's nuclear main gun three days ago, the battlefield situation on the entire planet Tikru is still not optimistic.

In addition to the huge disparity in strength, the Alien Insect Army seems to have an advantage that the human army does not have. That is, they seem to have a steady stream of follow-up new forces, and no matter how many casualties they suffer under the superior human fire, the insects can always quickly bring in new forces and continue to maintain the huge pressure on the human army's defenses.

Because of this, the new officers and soldiers fought to the death, and on almost every battlefield, the human troops with weak support showed signs of retreat. As cities were swallowed up by the blood-red sea of insects, countless refugees fled their homes with their families and their families following the retreating army from the battlefield. The originally beautiful blue Tikru has gradually turned into a bloodstained, ugly and cautious planet. There are corpses everywhere, rivers of blood on earth, and everywhere you look, there are dense and dense armies of insects surging forward frantically, and it looks like the end of the world.

After Haoyi rushed to Tianshen Peak single-handedly, the burden on Guo Ling's shoulders became heavier and heavier. In addition to taking advantage of the temporary disappearance of the swarm army from the boundaries of Tico City, and urging the remnants of the Tenth Army Group to seize the time to rest and replenish their troops and ammunition, Guo Ling must also do his best to contact the other Tikru forces that have been completely dispersed.

What he had to do was to let these remnants of the army cover the retreat of refugees from all over the country to the areas that were most conducive to defense, and concentrate as many liliang as possible to block the advance of the alien army, and then form a solid stronghold, stalling for time to wait for Hao Yi to find a way to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

Guo Ling, who is only a few years older than Haoyi, was born in a military family, from his ancestors to his father and him, a total of four generations were born in the army. Guo Ling's grandfather served in the federal garrison in St. Prolis, where he served as a colonel and staff officer, and his father served as a colonel in a supply regiment of the logistics unit in the local garrison of the Directory, and later died in the line of duty in a car accident. Since he was a child, he has been nurtured by a military family, which has given Guo Ling an outstanding talent in military affairs.

Therefore, even though he was just an inconspicuous small military adjutant beside Bob at first, after experiencing the civil war of the new government and following Hao Yi through several hardships and dangers, especially during the period when Hao Yi went home to visit relatives and the insect plague suddenly broke out, after stabilizing the internal situation of the new government by thunderbolt means, Guo Ling gradually honed into an excellent commander with the ability to control the overall situation. It can even be said that some of his comprehensive military command abilities are stronger than Haoyi, who is accustomed to single-handedly turning the tide of battle.

It is precisely because of this that Hao Yi will rest assured that almost all the military power will be handed over to this young general who is only a few years older than him, and he will go to Tianshen Peak alone to dig up the "secrets" that can defeat the insects in one fell swoop.

"Report to the general, the headquarters of the Eighth Army Group has sent an urgent telegram!" Guo Ling, who was fascinated by the holographic three-dimensional map on the huge command platform, suddenly heard a staff officer's loud report in his ears.

"Eighth Army Group?" Guo Ling frowned when he heard this, raised his hand and clicked on the distribution map of the new army's troops, found the location of the Eighth Army Group two thousand kilometers away from Tike City, and ordered in a deep voice: "Read!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied aloud, picked up the microcomputer the size of a book in his hand with a hollow transparent hologram in the middle, clicked on a mark similar to an envelope on it, entered a string of passwords, and read to Guo Ling according to the information on it: "General Staff of the New Army: A few days ago, several main armies of alien insects appeared in the area where our department was stationed, and the preliminary estimate is that their strength has exceeded 10 million, and the momentum of the attack is very fierce. In order to preserve the precious life of our army, I implore the General Staff to allow our troops to wait for the opportunity to transfer to the capital zone! Headquarters of the Eighth Army Group, X hour on X day of X month! ”

"Call back!" Staring at the holographic map on the command platform and muttering for a moment, Guo Ling waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Eighth Army Group: The General Staff allows your troops to wait for the opportunity to choose a strategic transfer, but before the transfer, you must first try to draw troops to cover the transfer of civilians to the capital area, and you must leave the corresponding broken forces to prevent the alien troops from following and intercepting!" There is no need to consult the headquarters in advance for all matters related to the strategic transfer, but it is necessary to keep in touch with the headquarters at any time! ”

After a pause, Guo Ling raised his head and asked the staff officer, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Noted down, General!" The staff officer replied respectfully.

"Go ahead! If there are other troops sending similar urgent telegrams, you can reply to them in this pattern, and you don't need to report to me, understand? Guo Ling sighed a little tiredly, waved his hand and commanded.

"Obey the general!" The staff officer hurriedly saluted, then turned around and hurried away.

"I'm too tired, let's go rest and rest!" After giving the order, Guo Ling wanted to turn around and continue to ponder the situation on the battlefield. At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him, which had been long lost but familiar.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Guo Ling's heart flashed, and he turned around in surprise, and saw Bob, who was wearing a white hospital gown and had a haggard and white face, sitting in a wheelchair. The graceful and beautiful medical officer pushing the wheelchair is also Chen Mengqiao, who is in love with her.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Hearing Guo Ling's exclamation, the rest of the staff officers in the command center also woke up from a dream, stopped their work one after another, and stood up in salute with a brush, which was a neat and sonorous greeting.

"Let's all go our separate ways, don't worry about my old bones!" Although he still looked quite tired, Bob smiled and nodded to the officers.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" The officers spoke aloud in unison, and then they turned around and continued their work at hand.

"Prime Minister, when did you wake up?" Guo Ling said in surprise and joy, but out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly glanced at Chen Mengqiao behind Bob, as if he was blaming Chen Mengqiao for not informing him in advance. The command center was full of people coming and going, and Guo Ling didn't even know when Bob came in.

"I just woke up, and this sleep is like a world away!" Bob let out a long sigh full of melancholy, and then as if he had guessed what Guo Ling was thinking, he explained with a faint smile: "Don't blame Doctor Chen, I asked them not to inform you!" ”

"Your Excellency, you haven't recovered yet, you should rest and rest first!" Hearing Bob's explanation, Guo Ling's heart suddenly suddenly, as if he inadvertently swept the eyes of Chen Mengqiao, who looked aggrieved, and also carried a little apology.

"It's okay, you can't die! I'm just a little relieved, I want to come over and see how the battle goes? Bob shook his head and said with a smile, followed the old spicy gaze past Guo Ling to look at the other busy officers in the command center, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "By the way, Haoyi's little rabbit cub is back, right?" Where is this bastard now? I heard that thanks to the strange blood on this rabbit cub as a medicine primer, I was able to revive Lao Tzu! ”

"Uncle, he ......" Guo Ling subconsciously said something, but suddenly stopped, stepped forward to take the wheelchair from Chen Mengqiao, who was pouting and glaring at him, and said to the beautiful medical officer in a deep voice: "You go back first, I will send someone to call you if there is anything!" ”

"Yes, General Guo!" Chen Mengqiao, who was displeased, responded coldly, and didn't even have the proper salute of his subordinates to his superiors, so he shook his hand and walked out of the command center angrily.

"Xiao Guo, women have to rely on coaxing the ground!" The two had some strange and awkward behaviors, which naturally made the old and spicy Bob realize that the relationship between Guo Chen and Chen was not ordinary. This old guy with a slight white beard, looking at the back of Chen Mengqiao who floated out of the command center gracefully, actually "mentioned" Guo Ling with great interest and meaning.

"Prime Minister, it's too noisy here, let's talk in a different place!" Guo Ling, who was ordered to take the center of the matter, turned slightly red, and diverted the topic with some embarrassment.

"Okay!" Bob in the wheelchair nodded with a smile.

With that, Guo Ling turned around and pushed the wheelchair into a confidential communication room connected to the command center.

"Prime Minister, uncle, he went to Tianshen Peak alone!" After a white light illuminated the entire dimly lit communication room, Guo Ling stood respectfully in front of the wheelchair and whispered to Bob.

"Celestial Peak? What is this little bunny doing there? Didn't he know that those dog-day beasts had been killed? Old Bob's brows immediately furrowed, obviously a little unhappy with Hao Yi's "desertion" at the very tense juncture of the battle.

"Your Excellency, please listen to me first!" Seeing that the old Bob's expression was wrong, Guo Ling hurriedly followed, and then without waiting for Bob to nod in agreement, he briefly told Bob what had happened during Haoyi's return.

"In this way, Lao Tzu just blamed this rabbit cub!" After listening to Guo Ling's story, Bob's face softened, and he asked with a smile: "Then how many days has this kid gone?" Is there any news coming back? ”

"It's been three days!" Guo Ling replied with some concern: "Uncle still hasn't sent any news back!" Satellite reconnaissance systems show that the Viking fighter plane piloted by my uncle has been staying in the ruins of Tianshen Peak, and my uncle has not been seen since he disappeared into an unknown cave. Although there is no indication in the vicinity of Tianshen Peak that there is an alien insect force, the subordinates are still a little worried......"

"When this little rabbit cub was leaving, did he tell you not to send someone to protect him or send someone to pick him up?" Bob's face was a little gloomy when he heard this, and he suddenly interrupted Guo Ling's words and asked. Obviously, as an uncle, Bob was quite familiar with this uncle's style of doing things.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Guo Ling hurriedly replied respectfully: "Do you need to send a team to pick up my uncle immediately?" ”

"No need, this kid is destined for heavenly thunder, he won't hang up so silently!" Frowning and muttering for a moment, Bob finally shook his head and rejected Guo Ling's suggestion. Then, Bob's face changed again, and he suddenly said to Guo Ling in a deep voice: "General Guo, this Prime Minister has a few things related to the safety of the entire star region, and I want to explain to you. However, before you speak, you must swear that you will never divulge a word to anyone! ”
