The headquarters of the Copolo Space Fleet is located in a flat wilderness, a large hemispherical all-metal base with a diameter of nearly ten kilometers. Due to its proximity to the new sun, the poles of SP02 are not covered with ice and snow all year round like the Earth, but instead the poles of SP02 are composed of thick rocky soil and many mineral-rich mountains.

The fleet's headquarters base was built in the wilderness to facilitate the quick identification of the destination by ships returning to base from the star orbit. The base is fully equipped and even has a repair center for several small ships. However, the base's defenses are simple and pitiful, with little defense other than a few multi-purpose laser turrets scattered around the perimeter of the base and on top of the base's spherical shell. Of course, there is also a military police brigade directly under the headquarters. These gendarmes, armed only with a few light weapons and some armored transport vehicles, did not play a role in the defensive operations of the base.

The reason why the defense of the fleet headquarters is so pitiful is because the fleet commander Copolo believes that in order to hold the base, the most critical Liliang still has to rely on those space battle cruisers with thick skin and strong firepower that can make people crazy. If even these air fortresses can't stop the enemy, then even equipping the bases with nuclear anti-railguns won't help. Soon, however, Copol will have to pay the price for his idea.

Right now, the new lieutenant marshal of the Republic of St. Prolli's is recuperating in his room at ABP with his eyes closed. The old, white-haired veteran general is worried about how to "cooperate" with Jeff in the future. After "joining" Jeff's camp, Copolo can be said to have gained fame and fortune, and he can't help but have the well-known title of deputy marshal, and he has obtained a considerable amount of money from Jeff.

However, for some reason, Copolo always felt a faint sense of uneasiness or anxiety in his heart. Jeff, who is only in his early thirties, is nothing more than a young frivolous and ruthless hairy boy in Copelo's eyes, and he can completely replace him.

However, at the moment, apart from his own fleet, Copolo does not have a decent close combat force at hand. Even if his fleet could crush Jeff's ground forces, he wouldn't have enough ground operations to capture and take control of the planet of St. Proli. Therefore, what Copolo wants most at the moment is to get the support of several commanders of the Ground Operations Corps. In this way, the "grand plan" in his heart, which vaguely appeared after Bertreim's death, will hopefully be revealed.

But as soon as he thought of Bertreim's death, a chill involuntarily rose in Copol's heart. Jeff's cold-blooded ruthlessness was vividly played in Bertlem's "accidental death", the Felton massacre, the Tico City tragedy and other events, so that the equally old and ruthless Copolo also vaguely smelled the smell of danger. If......

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The doorbell of the room rang abruptly to the anxious shouts of Colonel Harry of the Gendarmerie Brigade, interrupting Copol's thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Copolo was stunned for a moment, and casually clicked the remote control button on the desk, and the automatic door opened, and Colonel Harry's figure flashed in. Looking at Harry, who was sweating profusely, with a panicked look, Copolo asked in a deep voice with a frown.

"There's a sixth-level polar devil storm outside, and I'm afraid the camp where Sturm and the others are imprisoned won't be able to hold on!" Harry walked in briskly, motioning for Copolo to open the large holographic screen on the office wall, and reporting to Copol. (The officers and soldiers of the fleet stationed on the planet SP02 are accustomed to dividing the polar devil storm into six levels, and level six is the highest level and the most destructive storm) As the holographic screen lit up, a black storm that covered the sky and the earth suddenly covered the screen. In the black storm, several camps covered with tempered glass shields trembled among the flying sand and rocks in the sky, as if they would be destroyed by the storm at any time. One or two of the camp's protective shields had already appeared several gaps of various sizes, and even the connecting passages around them had been smashed and broken by the flying boulders one after another.

"When?" Seeing the terrifying scene like the end of Shijie in the picture, Copolo's brows couldn't help but furrow deeper.

"Just now! My gendarmes who were in charge of guarding the camp had already withdrawn in advance, and this was captured by a squad of Zuihou evacuees! ”

"Hasn't the storm passed yet?" Copolo was visibly surprised.

"The storm has reached the sky over our base, everyone has withdrawn, and all the exits to the base have been closed! Looks like the storm will have to last at least an hour! Harry sighed slightly and said, "According to this jiashi, I estimate that it will be difficult for Sturm to survive the storm!" ”

"You go and arrange for a rescue team, and as soon as the storm passes, you will immediately send people to search and rescue, and you can save as much as you can!" Copolow blurted out an order almost subconsciously. Originally, after receiving the message of the uprising from Sturm, Copolo and Jeff "studied it carefully" and felt that the matter was quite strange. Just in case, Copolo decided to quietly take over Sturm's six battleships, and escorted the officers and men on the ships away from the warship en masse, and temporarily placed them under house arrest in an abandoned mining camp closest to the ABP, and then decided how to deal with the officers and men of the "uprising" Sturm, after the matter was completely clarified or the negotiations between Jeff and Bob had been resolved. Therefore, Copolo did not have a ruthless heart for these officers and men who were still subordinate to the fleet in principle to the point of not caring about their life and death.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Harry replied loudly, saluted, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Sturm stopped him abruptly.

"Any other instructions, Commander?" Harry turned around in amazement and asked curiously.

"Let me think!" Copolo waved his hand, got up and paced in place with his hands behind his back.

"Let's wait until the storm is over!" After a moment of silence, Copolo seemed to have a new idea, and ordered Harry in a deep voice: "The rescue team doesn't need to prepare, just let your men prepare weapons and ammunition!" ”

"I don't understand this, Your Excellency Commander?" Harry was stunned.

"If you are ready, you can prepare, where are there so many weishenme!" Old Copol's face sank, and he snorted impatiently.

"Yes, Commander!" Seeing Copol's unhappy expression, Harry subconsciously retreated in response.

"Sturm, don't blame your old boss for being ruthless! In these days, only ruthless people can become superiors! After Harry went out, Copolo turned to look at the holographic screen that had become a black hole again, and a cold glint flashed in his slightly cloudy old eyes.

※※※ "Oops! Which grandson stepped on my hand! When the devil's storm swept the fleet headquarters base into the sky, Hao Yi and the others hurriedly got into the building, and let out a miserable scream.

The building wasn't really a house, it was just a cave built into the mountain, with a small house made of steel armor attached to the entrance. When Hao Yi carried the unconscious Sturm and took Guo Ling to hurriedly get in, several panicked fleet officers and soldiers also rushed behind him, and they actually arched Hao Yi and the three of them into the depths of the cave. Before Haoyi had time to come back to his senses and asked someone to close the entrance of the small house, a pile of boulders rolled out of nowhere, and the boom actually hit the small house at the entrance of the cave impartially. After a period of shaking and shaking, the small house was smashed, and Haoyi and the others were also firmly blocked in the cave and fell into darkness.

When everyone was choked by the smoke and dust and coughed repeatedly, Haoyi's miserable howl happened to be heard.

"Who has a flashlight?" Guo Ling's loud reminder sounded in the darkness.

"I have!" When everyone was stunned, a faint voice sounded, and a faintly lit flashlight lit up.

"Give it to me!" Guo Ling squeezed over excitedly following the light, but at the landing place, as if he had guessed the hard ball, he began to howl again with Hao Yi's broken gong voice.

"Mom, can my brother step on it lightly, that's Lao Tzu's head!"

"Uh, I'm sorry, aunt... Lieutenant! Guo Ling wanted to call Uncle Haoyi habitually, but after taking the flashlight, he found that there were several ordinary fleet officers and soldiers who had never seen him crowded around him, so he changed his name stiffly. After taking a rough look at the surrounding scene and seeing Hao Yi lying on the ground, Guo Ling was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing for a while, and asked, "I said, lieutenant, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" ”

Under the pale yellow light of the flashlight, Haoyi's goods actually lay on the ground in a twisted shape, the upper body was facing down, and the lower body was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, far more sturdy than him, and pressed on Haoyi's back firmly. Probably when he just rushed in, he was accidentally pushed to the ground by the soldiers who squeezed behind him, and Haoyi actually put on such a difficult posture in order to protect the unconscious Sturm on his back, which can be described as full of skill, and fully demonstrated the incomparable physical flexibility of this goods. (This thing can almost go to practice Indian yoga) "Ya, you dead old Guo, why don't you help me get this old guy Sturm up!" Crush Lao Tzu! Hao Yi, who was lying on the ground with his hands in a big shape, turned his head with difficulty, and shouted at Guo Ling.

"Good, good! Hold your horses! Seeing this uncle's embarrassed appearance, Guo Ling could only hold back his laughter, and shouted to the few officers and soldiers who were snickering beside him: "Why are you stunned?" Why don't you come over and help! ”

The three or five officers and soldiers who didn't know what warship belonged to were stunned by Guo Ling's drinking, so they hurriedly lifted Sturm, who was pressed on Hao Yi's back, to the side, and helped Hao Yi who was humming on the ground.

"I said, what the hell are we in, why is it not in the middle of winter?" Seeing Hao Yi grinning and being helped up, Guo Ling raised a flashlight to look around at the scene, and asked in a daze.

"I thought you knew, girl, leading us here without saying a word!" Haoyi rubbed his waist vigorously, and shouted angrily when he heard the sound.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't know!" Guo Ling hurriedly glared, raised his palms to make an oath, and shouted wrongly: "I said you have no conscience, didn't I save everyone's lives!" At that time, you didn't see that the black poisonous gas was about to rush to the back of our heads. If you don't drill here, will you still make holes in the same place? ”

"What, two chiefs, I don't think it's good here!" When Haoyi and Guo Ling were busy fighting, a soldier pulled the corner of Haoyi's clothes, stared straight ahead, and whispered as if he was frightened.
