Chapter 13: Spectral Launchers
"I've thought about the specific operation, let me talk about it, and see if you think there is anything that needs to be improved." Frank pulled up a map of the city of "New Vancouver," "At present, the defenders of the Federation still have about 300,000 ground troops and have poured into this metropolis of nearly 50 million people, and the total number of federal peacekeepers in the city is about 350,000.
Our advantage is that we have absolute air supremacy, which is our only advantage, which does not sound like good news.
But our disadvantages are more than one aspect, first of all, the air liliang is restricted, although the air supremacy is controlled by us, but the air liliang has no position in the city; Furthermore, there are too few ground troops, with only 50,000 Rangers, while the enemy's ground forces are large and regular; The second is that the terrain is very unfavorable to us, and once we pour into the city to fight, it is easy to be dispersed by the enemy and annihilated. ”
Reynolds: "And what are you going to do?" ”
Frank said helplessly: "What else can I do?" Before the new equipment is put into the battlefield in large quantities, all we can do is wait, otherwise we don't have any capital to advance into the city. ”
Kelly Root said suddenly, "Before that, I think we should use our brains against the other party's chain of command. ”
Frank shook his head and said, "It's a good idea, but it doesn't necessarily work, the enemy commander is also protected by ghost agents, and I've found out." Although I am reluctant to admit that you are a top-level assassin, no matter how good you are, you are only one person after all, and if you go deep into the tiger's den to assassinate the local leader, whether you succeed or fail, you will be in a very dangerous situation, and no one can support you except yourself. It may not be impossible to carry out a decapitation operation, but it is by no means now, and we must wait for our troops to attack the city before we can blend in, and at that time, maybe I should also make a trip, so it is a wise choice. ”
Renault: "Looks like we'll have to wait!" ”
Frank: "That's right. Oh, I almost forgot! The nuclear bomb-hit federal military base scanned a lot of silica ore, and they couldn't take these resources with them when they evacuated in a hurry, and we should send someone to recycle those resources and use them. ”
Renault: "No problem, I'll take someone to the base myself." ”
"No!" Frank refused his request, "Through scanning, the base was not completely destroyed by nuclear bombs, a large part of the base buried deep in the ground was complete, and the underground base was difficult to scan for biological signals inside, we don't know what else exists there, and maybe the Federation army is not necessarily." I'd better go for it, this kind of mission is none other than ghost agents. ”
"Sounds reasonable!" Renault nodded.
"Count me in again!" Kelly Root said.
"No problem!" Frank looked at Renault again and smiled, "I'll leave it to you here!". ”
Renault: "Leave it to me here, keep in touch at any time!" ”
After some preparation, Frank and Kelligan took a brigade of the Ranger to the federal military base 2,000 kilometers away. Two hours later, they arrived at their destination without incident.
Deep in the depths of this military garrison, the desolate area where the nuclear bomb exploded and wiped out almost all living things in the vicinity, and the surface of the terrain several kilometers wide seemed to be torn open except for dirt and dirt, or some of the harder stones were exposed to the ground and extremely smooth. In addition, there is nuclear radiation everywhere, and the entire base has become a dry and lifeless zone, without any living things, not even some birds dare to fly over the base.
"The nuclear radiation here is untreated, everyone should take measures to protect themselves from radiation!" Frank stepped out of the transport plane and immediately communicated with all personnel, but his face was exposed to nuclear radiation, and the physique of ghost agents was different from ordinary people, simply put, they had a stronger physique and environmental adaptability than some ordinary people, and nuclear radiation no longer posed any threat to them.
The marines, on the other hand, wrapped their bodies all around the armor of the land warfare, and even the head cover cabin was double-enclosed, and their physique could not withstand nuclear radiation.
"Two squadrons followed me into the base to investigate, and the rest of the personnel were on guard on the surface and recovered the crystal ore!" Frank said as the two squadrons quickly assembled, and they quickly entered the entrance to the base's underground. In addition to the vaporization of objects in the core of the nuclear bomb explosion, most of the heavy steel plates buried deep in the ground were exposed, but they were in shambles.
"Sir! The base energy system has been damaged and it is impossible to take the elevator! A Marine stepped forward to report.
"Whew...... I can only go down from the emergency channel! Frank took a deep breath and walked down the stairs a few hundred meters, it was a long journey, but there was nothing else to do.
"The emergency passage is on the right!" Kellygan quickly used her psychic perspective to spot a place that was piled up by rubble, and she pointed and said.
Frank: "Tell some engineers to clear that passage and get out of the way." ”
After a few minutes of waiting, the entrance has been made a passable intersection under the emergency treatment of the SCV.
Frank waved his hand, "GO!" GO!! GO!!!”
The base was left unsupplied with no power system, and the Marines turned on the four searchlights on their chests, and after entering the ground eighty meters underground, they came to a fork in the road.
"It seems that the power system of this base still needs to be restored, and it is not a way to find it!" Frank said, and they stopped at the fork in the road.
After thinking about it, Frank still felt that the power system of the base should be restored, and then communicated to the people on the ground, ordering a wave of SCVs to quickly repair the damaged energy center, and through the reaction of the engineers, he learned that it would take at least an hour and a half to complete the full repair.
After Frank finished communicating with the ground, he said to Kellygan, "Let's split up!" You take a squadron through the passage next to you, I'll go to my side, we have to control the central control system of the entire base before the power system supplies the entire base, otherwise we will be in danger. ”
"Understood!" Kelly Gen nodded.
"That's good! You take a squadron with you! Frank nodded, and then shouted in a low voice to the people around him, "The people of the second squadron come with me!" ”
Both Ghost Agents possess telepathic abilities, which are more effective than any navigator or sensor, and the construction of underground bases is generally very similar, and it should not be difficult for Frank to find the central control center through general orientation and telepathic ability. Through psychic perspective, he found that there were anti-scanning devices in some places, and in other places, the heavy steel plates made of new materials could not penetrate at all, and with such strict protection measures, this base did not look like a simple military station, he thought.
"I'm Kelly Root! I've found the base intelligence hub, you can bring your people over! An hour later, Kelly Gen responded to Frank's message with his heart's inspiration, the signal blocking of the base was really a bit serious, the communication equipment basically did not work, and the two teams had basically lost contact, but there were two ghost agents leading the team, which was not a fatal problem.
Frank: "Roger! ”
"Turn around and go back!" Frank said to the group, and then began to lead the people closer in the direction of Kellygan.
As the power system was repaired and the base was quickly powered up, Kellygan quickly hacked into the base's security network and began to take control of the base, although she was not an expert in this area, but it would only take a little time. After successfully seizing the base's security network, she quickly informed Frank to use the nearest passage to the central control center, and she soon discovered that the base was not a purely military station.
"And the engineer?" Kellygen read the base log from the main console, and she found out that there were survivors inside the base through the monitoring equipment, but most of these people were researchers, Federation engineers, and only a small number of guards, these people should have been trapped inside the base before they had time to evacuate, but they also happened to save their lives.
Kellygan was waiting for Frank to arrive, and she continued to read the research journal in the base, and maybe she would get some new weaponry.
"Huh?" Ghost Launcher'? This looks familiar! Kelly paused to read and began to recall, "I remembered! A similar device has been found in Mar Sarah's Jacoji! But it doesn't seem to be called a 'ghost dispenser', oh yes, Mar Sarah's device is called a 'ghost jammer'. What the hell is this thing? But they seem to have some kind of connection......"
Kelly Gen read on.
