In the secret conference room of the command center at the Longtan base, Hao Yi and his group of think tank generals quietly watched the video data of the raid on Ricktown 3 by the Second Corps of the Riyan Empire. This video material was obtained by George's intelligence system just half an hour ago.

"Chief, according to the latest news from the Ricktown Intelligence Division, Planet Three has fallen! A large number of Ricktown civilians and troops are evacuating Planet Three in a hurry! The number of swarms that have appeared on Planet 3 has exceeded 10 million, and many of them are new high-level swarms, including some giant insects that can attack large space battleships! George listened intently to the movement in the miniature headset, got up and said to Haoyi, who had been frowning.

"Fallen? What about the fleet cluster of the Second Corps of the Riyan Empire? Hao Yi asked in a deep voice.

"The movements of the Second Corps of the Riyan Empire are unknown! However, it is certain that the Imperial Army did not take this opportunity to continue attacking Planet Three or other planets in Ricktown. After a pause, George probably heard some news again, his pretty face changed slightly, and he reported to Hao Yi in a deep voice: "By the way, Ricktown's space fleet has been completely defeated by the Sunflame Empire, and the remnants have retreated to its capital Star Lobito. They are even powerless to cover the retreating soldiers and civilians on Planet Three! ”

"Got it!" Hao Yi nodded when he heard this, raised his hand to turn off the holographic image playing on the multi-functional conference table, swept around his subordinates, and asked lightly: "Don't be silent, let's talk about it!" ”

"The chief grown, the subordinates don't understand it a little! As soon as the second corps of the Sun Yan Empire retreated, the swarm army followed and launched a fierce attack on Ricktown Planet III! "The old and spicy generals of Pei Zhimao, Tong Zhong and Skran are all frowning and thinking about something. Before they think about it, they naturally won't open their mouths easily, and they will become the laughing stock of others in the future. However, Zhao Jiakun, the commander of the Black Shadow Special Operations Force, did not have as many twists and turns in the hearts of these old foxes. Hearing Haoyi speak, Zhao Jiakun pointed to the intelligence information he had received in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"Marshal Pei, Marshal Tong, and Marshal Skrand, the three of you are the supreme commanders of the three corps of our National Defense Force, and I want to hear the opinions of the three!" Haoyi smiled faintly, and did not answer Zhao Jiakun directly, but turned his head to Pei Zhimao and the others and asked.

"Both of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, Pei is a shallow learner, and I am willing to listen to the two marshals first!" Hearing Haoyi be the first to point to himself, Pei Zhimao's eyes flashed, and he turned to Tong Zhong and smiled.

In terms of age, Tong Zhong Sklan is a veteran general who is over the top six years old, and although Pei Zhimao is also over half a hundred years old, when in front of the two of them, he is naturally still a junior. Moreover, there is another point, Tong Zhong and Skran were both the supreme commanders of the joint forces, Tong Zhong commanded the Third Corps of the Sharon Imperial Army, and Skran was the supreme commander of the elite Imperial Guard, while Pei Zhimao was originally only the commander of a small fleet with only a dozen battleships in the St. Prory's Star District, although he was nominally the Marshal of the Wehrmacht's Space Fleet.

"Marshal Pei is too modest, you are the first main commander under the command of the commander-in-chief, I will listen to your high opinion first!" The old Skran said with a laugh.

"Eh, Marshal Scran has raised Pei, I dare not be ashamed, I dare not be ashamed!" Skran 's sleek sophistication made Pei Zhimao feel a sense of sympathy in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled politely.

"Okay, you two have to slap each other's ass, and then shoot when the meeting is over!" Tong Zhong on the side was obviously quite disdainful of the actions of the two old foxes, snorted coldly in his nostrils, and grabbed the conversation: "Chief Lord, according to the opinion of his subordinates, the sudden appearance of the Sunflame Imperial Army's large-scale invasion of Ricktown and the Alien Insect Army is no accident. There must be an unspeakable secret connection between the two! ”

"Oh? According to Marshal Tong, could it be that it was the attack of the Riyan Imperial Army that attracted the sudden onslaught of the swarm on Ricktown III? Isn't that far-fetched? Could it be that the Imperial Army of the Sun Flame could still reach some kind of agreement with the insect swarm? Or is it that Marshal Tong has a pair of fiery eyes and can see through all the fog? ”

Although they surrendered to Haoyi's camp together, Skran was still angry with Tong Zhong in private. The former marshal of the Sharon Empire, a noble marshal, has always attributed the fall of the Sharon Empire to the sudden mutiny of Tong Zhong's Third Corps. In his opinion, if it weren't for Tong Zhong, it would be difficult for Hao Yi to shake the foundation of the Sharon Empire alone, although this foundation had been loosened. At this moment, seeing that Tong Zhong didn't care about his face at all, Scran was even more angry in his heart, and asked with disdain. ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't have any sharp eyes, relying on his intuition that has been crawling in the pile of corpses for decades!" Seeing that there was a thorn in Skrland's words, Tong Zhong's old face turned cold, and he stiffly replied, disdainful of Skran and Sklan's theory.

"Marshal Pei, tell me about it!" Seeing that the old enemies were about to quarrel again, Haoyi hurriedly laughed and interrupted, naming Pei Zhimao to express his opinion.

"Elder Hui, my subordinates only feel that the sudden retreat of the Riyan Imperial Army and the sudden appearance of the insect swarm and the large-scale attack on Planet Three are both unusual. As for whether there will be any inevitable connection between them as Marshal Tong said, this subordinate has not yet figured it out! The sleek Pei Zhimao chose a compromise answer that would not offend Tong Zhong and would not make Skran too ugly, and Hao Yi shook his head wordlessly when he heard it.

"Lao Guo, Lao Mai, you two also share your opinions!" As soon as he turned around, Haoyi saw that Guo Ling and Maier were communicating something in a low voice, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked by name.

"Uncle, General Meier and I are discussing a few doubts in the video just now, I don't know if you have noticed, uncle!" Hearing Haoyi's inquiry, Guo Ling raised his hand and re-opened the holographic image player on the multi-functional conference table, and the video data was replayed.

"Uncle, look! The first wave of the Sunflame Imperial Army's attack on Planet 3 was very strong, and almost one-third of the Second Corps of close combat troops were invested! However, after investing so many troops, they did not even occupy a single city, not even some small towns near the landing site, and the Imperial Army had no intention of asking about it! ”

Guo Ling pointed to the hologram that was being played, and analyzed in a deep voice: "Generals, please see, most of the landing sites of the first wave of attack troops of the Riyan Imperial Army are close to some remote and desolate mountains and mountains, and rarely appear near some important cities on Planet Three!" ”

"That's the first suspicion!" Guo Ling's words made everyone silent for a while, and Maier on the side took over the conversation and continued: "As for the second suspicion, that is, after the first wave of landing troops successfully gained a foothold, the Riyan Imperial Army did not continue to project troops to the ground in order to continue to expand the results of the battle!" This is clearly to say that the Imperial Army has no intention of completely occupying Planet Three. Otherwise, with the powerful air transportation capabilities of the Imperial Army, in less than a few hours, they would be able to send all the ground combat units under the Second Corps to the ground of Planet Three! ”

"That's right! But there is still a mystery, that is, if the Imperial Army is not ready to capture Planet Three, then when Weishenme was counterattacked by the Ricktown Army at night, the Imperial Army, which suffered heavy casualties, did not choose to evacuate Planet 3 immediately, but instead invested in the second wave of attack troops! This is also quite unusual! ”

"The biggest mystery is that after the Imperial Army suddenly evacuated Planet Three, it did not choose to immediately get rid of the harassment of the Ricktown fleet and go back directly through the space jump, but wandered in the star field that was not too far away from Planet Three, and only after defeating the Ricktown fleet did it choose to disappear suddenly. One thing I want to remind you of is that the timing of the Imperial Army's withdrawal almost overlapped with the time of the Swarm's appearance. In other words, they retreated in a hurry after seeing the swarm attack on Planet Three! ”

Guo Ling and Meier's analysis of each word made everyone in the conference room silent again for a while. The doubts listed by these two Haoyi's henchmen can be described as hitting the nail on the head, and each of them points to the crux of the problem. Looking at the entire invasion of Ricktown by the Imperial Army, although the suspicions in it are not obvious, as long as you calm down and analyze it carefully, you can still see a little eyebrows.

"Lao Guo, rewind the part you just played!" At this moment, Hao Yi was suddenly attracted by a picture, frowned and commanded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Guo Ling hurriedly started to operate for a while, so that the picture quickly reversed back.

"Stop!" When the strange-looking Imperial Army transport ships appeared in the picture, Hao Yi hurriedly raised his hand to signal. Looking at the transport ships in the picture, which were about to fall into the sky above the positions occupied by the Imperial Army, under the strict escort of the ghost escort fighters, he asked in a deep voice: "Which general has ever seen such a transport ship?" Could it be the latest in the Imperial Army? ”

"That's not right! These transports are not new-type warships, but rather have been specially modified from the original conventional transports! Look, uncle, their main cabin is obviously modified from an old ship! As the former commander of the space fleet, Pei Zhimao is naturally quite familiar with all kinds of military warships, and he can see at a glance that those transport ships in the picture are unusual.

Hearing this, Haoyi frowned and waved his hand to signal Guo Ling to continue playing. In the video, the specially modified transport ships entered the atmosphere and flew to the positions of the ground forces of the Imperial Army. There weren't many of them, with only one special transport landing on almost every Imperial position. As for what exactly is being transported inside the transport ship, it is unknown. After all, this video was filmed by agents of George's intelligence system, risking their lives to infiltrate the battlefield and shoot it, so it was naturally impossible for them to fly over the Imperial Army's positions and take careful pictures of those special transport ships.

"Alright, the problem has been found!" After reading it, Hao Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his waist and said to everyone: "Don't worry about it, everyone, these specially modified transport ships are the real key!" What mysteries, as long as we can find out what the hell is being transported in these transports, everything can be revealed! ”

As soon as the words landed, everyone in the conference room suddenly began to discuss with each other. Haoyi was right, the strange actions of the Sunflame Imperial Army and the reason why the swarm suddenly appeared on Planet 3 were all related to the special items carried by these transports.

"Uncle, take a step to speak!" At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from George's headset, and her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly walked to Haoyi's side and whispered in her ear.
