Chapter 004: Zero-Clearance Plan
For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wèn. Star Edel, the capital of the Poole Star District. About two hundred kilometers east of the capital, Dessa. An ancient palace complex the size of a small city. It's being built in full swing.
The buildings in this ancient palace complex. It's all the same retro style. It has the architectural shadow of an empire that believed in "dragons" in the early days of mankind. Pavilions, pavilions, cornices, red bricks, wind lamps, candlesticks. Quaint but unconcealed luxury. A scene of wealth and splendor. People unconsciously have a feeling of staying away.
Between palace complexes. Smoke and dust flying on the construction site. Shuttled are a series of modern construction mechs of various models. Transport planes are constantly bringing in piles of building materials. And in the outer area of the construction site. Some light blue land armor can be seen faintly. Swinging back and forth from time to time. Some of the commanding heights. Rows of siege tanks and raider mechs can also be clearly seen.
Obviously. The one who built this palace. It can certainly only be the relevant government departments. Otherwise it can't be explained. Why are there so many marines and armored units . Acted as an overseer. And. Both in terms of the size of the palace complex and the luxury of the city. The astronomical cost of the entire project. I'm afraid even the richest tyrant in the whole federation. I can't afford it.
To the north of the palace is a gentle mountainous terrain. A military transport plane is parked at the top of the hill. Not far below. Standing proudly this platoon of senior officers of the fifth theater of operations. A young man in a gorgeous marshal's uniform was being embraced. Pointing and talking about the construction site down the mountain.
"Let's talk about it. What should I name this palace?" The young man in the marshal's uniform turned his head slightly. He asked loudly with a smile to the generals beside him. Fair-skinned, handsome face, slightly magnetic baritone. It is Lin Bin, the first person in the fifth war zone.
a few days ago. The headquarters of the 5th theater of operations announced to the public. The previous Supreme Commander of the theater of operations, Auston, was ineffective due to salvage. Eventually, he passed away. According to the so-called "last will" of the former commander, Lin Bin officially became the new supreme commander of the theater. The rank of marshal was also suddenly promoted. This marshal rank. Look at the entire Native Earth Federation. Probably only Rui Youling is alone.
No doubt. Under the current political system of the Fifth Theater of Operations. Lin Bin has given himself the greatest power and the most prominent position he can achieve. But. The new owner of the Fifth War Zone. The ambitions clearly don't stop there. Lin Bin has been reading tirelessly lately. An ancient book called Mein Kampf. As everyone knows. The author of this book was once in the history of mankind. The founder of an imperial dictatorship. Though. That empire, that regime, is defined as an anti-humanity, anti-peace fascist empire. Titled tyranny, killing, ugliness, and so on. But Lin Bin was very interested in the founder of the imperial regime. I actually gave birth to a feeling of sympathy.
In Lin Bin's view. Now that it has reached the stage of the pinnacle of power. It's time to enjoy the feeling of being above the billions of people you've been fighting for.
Build an empire that has never been seen before in human history. I don't know when it has become a new and perhaps ultimate goal in Lin Bin's heart.
With the great strength that the Fifth Theater possesses. Lin Bin is confident. In lifetime. Even in just a few years. He would be able to build such a powerful empire with his own hands. An empire that belongs to him alone.
After having an exceptionally clear goal. Lin Bin's pace is getting faster and faster. And the construction of this large-scale ancient building palace complex. In Lin Bin wants to come. It's just the first small step on the road to that empire. He's going to be like in human history. Those great imperial monarchs alike. Build yourself a splendid palace of great symbolic significance.
"Your Excellency, Commander. This palace complex is so grand. Why don't we call it "Wuji Palace"." Lin Bin's voice fell. The generals behind him first whispered in a low voice. Then a middle-aged general touched his goatee. Very reserved smile. To Lin Bin built yì road.
"Wuji Palace. What a solution?" Lin Binjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Learn from the words of the ancients. Asked elegantly.
"The so-called Wuji. That is to say, there will never be a border, there will never be an end. Xiaguan means. Your Excellency, Commander, will surely be as famous as the name of this palace. Endless. Of course. This is just a superficial opinion of the lower officials. I also ask Your Excellency the Commander to be clear." The goatee admiral bowed slightly. The stammering demeanor is extremely respectful.
"It never ends. Well. It's kind of interesting." Lin Bin rubbed his thin chin. A thoughtful word. Then he looked at the other generals and asked, "What do the other generals think?"
"Back to Your Excellency Commander. Xia Guan thought. General Sima's insights are very subtle. Your Excellency the Commander's deeds. It will be a great feat that has never been done before or since. It will definitely never end. to the admiration of all peoples. None of them are excellent. It's great." An old general with slightly older temples and slightly white temples. Nodding his head and shouting in a crepe. Hearing this, the other generals were busy and hummed together.
"Hey, hey. So to speak. Everyone thinks the name "Wuji Palace" is very good." Lin Bin asked with a smile. Then he suddenly waved his sleeves. Turn around and tilt your head slightly. At the foot of the hill looks like a vast palace complex. Deep a spit. Then he suddenly said loudly: "Okay. A handsome palace. Let's call it "Wuji Palace."
"Your Excellency, Commander, is wise." Seeing this, the generals were actually learning from the ministers of the ancient feudal empire. Shout in unison. This is the behavior of the senior officers of the Fifth Theater of Operations. Perhaps in the eyes of many modern people, it is a little too incredible. However. If only you knew. Almost all generals above the rank of major general in the Fifth Theater have one in their hands. A list of ancient books personally selected by Lin Bin. It is necessary for the officers to familiarize themselves with those in the shortest possible time. Classical books with a very feudal imperial flavor. Then maybe you won't be so surprised.
"Haha. Generals and Officers. You have to help Ben Shuai with all your might. Infinitely feat. How." Lin Bin seemed to be suddenly in high spirits. He really looked like an ancient commander. Hold your head high. Laughed at the generals.
"Swear allegiance to the marshal." The tone of the generals this time was vaguely uneven. Hearing this, Lin Bin's expression froze. There was a vague displeasure.
"Your Excellency, Commander. Planet Pune Emergency. It was sent back by the Task Force Commander." Then. A major general officer hurriedly got off the transport plane behind him. Quickly ran to Lin Bin's side and respectfully held an ultra-thin communication terminal.
This major general is none other than . It is the one who has been serving as Lin Bin's military adjutant. Former Colonel Li Hua. Although Lin Bin is cool and beautiful. Dedicated to themselves in the secretarial department. There are many beautiful officers with good looks and charms. But once it comes to specific military and political affairs. Lin Bin still relies more on reliable and efficient male officers. This Major General Li has been following Lin Bin because of this. Serve diligently. So he was directly promoted by Lin Bin to be a major general's adjutant. In one fell swoop, he became the highest-ranking adjutant in the entire theater of operations.
"Punn." Lin Bin was vaguely angry at the inadvertent "dereliction of duty" of the generals. Li Hua's abrupt interruption. It made his originally smiling white face suddenly gloomy. Leng Leng replied: "Connect it."
"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander." Lin Bin's expression made Li Hua's heart jump suddenly. Suddenly I realized that I might have been unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun. However. That's it. He had no choice but to bite the bullet. Click on the communication terminal.
"Your Excellency, Commander." A hologram flashes on the terminal. A lieutenant general with a slightly chubby body and a broad face suddenly appeared. Respectfully salute Lin Bin and say a high voice.
"General Collins. I hope you're not bringing bad news to Ben Shuai." Lin Bin frowned. Nod your head slightly, and make a deep gesture.
"Uh. Your Excellency Commander. The battle situation on the planet of Pune is a little tight. Xiaguan, Xiaguan want to ......" heard Lin Bin's hint. The lieutenant general was slightly stunned. My heart was so tight that I vomited.
"Just say it." Lin Bin was even more angry when he saw this. A categorical word. His face became more and more gloomy.
"Yes, yes, yes." Collins had a thrill in his heart. Suddenly realized. I'm definitely on the wrong hand. The report actually caught up with Lin Bin when he was in a bad mood. But he was the same as the lieutenant Li Hua. At the moment, I have to bite the bullet. He continued: "Your Excellency Commander Qiqi. According to the front-line troop returns. The main size of the alien insect force on the planet Pune is in just a few days. It has increased dramatically. Our contingent has been sent to cover the various blocking forces for the evacuation of the refugees. Casualties have also increased dramatically. If there are no follow-up reinforcements. I'm afraid it's hard to hold out until the moment when all the refugees from Planet Pune are evacuated."
"Go on." Seeing that Lin Bin's face was getting more and more ugly. Collins is only halfway there. He closed his mouth in amusement. However. Lin Bin obviously saw that Collins had something to say. With a black face, he drank it again.
"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander." Collins frowned. I didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat oozing from my forehead. Hurriedly trembling and said, "The subordinate means. Please Theater High Command. Continue to send another task force reinforcements. to assist in the evacuation of millions of refugees from the planet Pune. Other than that. Because the evacuation of refugees is slow. I would also like to ask Your Excellency the Commander to consider it. Can the implementation of the "zero-COVID" plan be postponed?"
"Postponement of the zero-COVID plan." Lin Bin frowned and repeated. Then he turned back to Li Hua beside him and asked, "Where is the fleet that carried out the zero-clearance plan now?"
"Back to Your Excellency Commander. They are already on standby in the star field 200,000 kilometers away from the planet Pune. Because there is still about a day and a half before the zero-out plan. So this fleet is not ready to enter the atmosphere of the planet Pune." Li Hua hurriedly bowed his head and reported respectfully.
"Hmm. A day and a half." Lin Bin nodded when he heard this. After a little hesitation, he said to Collins, "General Collins. You heard that, too. The fleet carrying out the zeroing plan is already on standby near the planet Pune. There's an old saying that you have to send when you are ready to fly. Do you want our powerful fleet. Continue to wander in outer space. Is it a waste of valuable military resources . Ben Shuai must think about the big picture. Sweep away the insects on the planet Pune. This fleet also had to rush to other fronts to perform more important tasks. So. I believe that if you are Ben Shuai. You're not going to agree to postpone the plan."
"In addition. Something about the addition of a contingent of reinforcements. I'm afraid I can't promise you. General Collins." There was a pause. Lin Bin opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Collins. It seems that he wants to say something but can't. His face suddenly softened. He smiled and said, "Same as the previous reason. Ben Shuai doesn't want to be on that barren planet in Punn where birds don't. Waste more valuable military resources. But. Ben Shuai can give an order. Let that fleet carry out the zeroing plan. Send a small fleet to get your task force out of that damn planet ahead of time."
"Get out early. Your Excellency Commander. What about the millions of refugees on that, that, that planet." Hear Lin Bin's words. Collins stuttered in amazement.
