Chapter 349: A Thunder on the Ground

Mike Liberty understood Colonel Duke's purpose in approaching him.

Use him, use UNN, from the perspective of public opinion, to make this operation more just.

The military order is violated, and although the current cruising route of Nord II is not too far from the Sara system, if it really wants to go there, it is almost the opposite direction, and it cannot be explained by a simpler deviation.

Truth be told, just by watching that video, Liberty had already made a decision that he was willing to be taken advantage of.

Because it's to save people.

He had heard how bad the Federation's garrisons on the frontier planets were, and he didn't believe that those people could handle such a battle, and it would be nice if they could take care of themselves.

As for the Alpha Squadron, in Liberty's opinion, this legendary unit is still relatively strong in terms of combat effectiveness, one of the reasons is that Duke is more diligent in training his boys.

What made Liberty determined to justify Duke's march to Josara was a special report from UNN that he had seen a few hours ago, the Battle of New Melbourne.

The report claimed that UNN's tracking team was originally invited by the military to film the independent brigade's trip to the frontier. After all, this operation of the Independent Brigade has a strong pilot meaning.

In the words of one military source: "More and more people on the frontier planets are reporting that the local garrisons are not doing their duty and are not performing well in terms of discipline." The Federation activates the Free Corps, whose rewards and punishments and even existence are linked to performance, hoping that they can sweep away the bad spirit in the army and better serve the Federation. ”

As a result, the tracking team not only witnessed the destruction of a stubborn veteran pirate by the Ares Independent Brigade, but also caught up with such a shocking event as the invasion of alien insects.

But as a professional, Liberty found that the filming of the reporting team was too full. To put it simply, the material is mined very well, some details are dug out vividly, and the use of professional technology such as color and long lens is also in place, and there is very little lens shaking, which is really like watching a blockbuster.

Real battlefield photography cannot reach this level, even if the current photography technology is very sharp, it is still subject to the constraints of the scene environment.

Only when you are particularly well prepared can you capture so many wonderful moments.

Liberty, who already has a deep understanding of the filth in the federation and the industry, naturally doubted the authenticity of this report at the first time. "At least, those guys knew in advance that there was such a battle, but damn it, they chose to let the people take the risk, and they didn't even have the least warning!"

There is no hate, there is no expectation of those people, but Liberty inevitably hates the coldness and unscrupulousness of those people. If there is a way to ridicule such behavior, he will do it, and thus obtain solace or satisfaction in the soul.

"Now, I'm also a backstage person!" Liberty felt a lot more relieved when he thought that he was now hundreds of millions of miles away from Tasannis and was on one of the top warships of the human race, he didn't believe that those founding families could come here to assassinate them, and this was an acre and a third of land belonging to Colonel Duke.

An impassioned report soon emerged, for which he borrowed the war photographs from Duke. Then he posted it in his column, and he had 5 minutes of video column permissions, and he could barely put down the edited video. Then he used his personal interpretation to set off the forced style of this video. Tell the audience what is a show and what is an objective report.

There is no doubt that this caused an uproar. Mike Liberty is already very popular among the people, especially Tassanis. Just when many people who followed him thought that Liberty was tortured by the Frontier and could only sing praises for the Federation, Liberty, whom they were familiar with, returned. is also a war report, this video of Liberty is not good-looking, but it is full of tension and endless aftertaste.

Accompanied by Liberty's interpretation, I immediately compare the chapters concocted by UNN. The people's already lack of trust in the Federation, and the preconceived emotional color is suddenly magnified at such a time. They believed that what Liberty had in his hands was the truth.

In the words of some: "Duke was an arrogant and cold-blooded horseman, a man as paranoid and lacking in humor as George Smith Patton Jr. in old, but it must be said that this horseman was tough, professional, and conservative and stubborn, and his conservative and stubborn thinking also made him not good at playing tricks, otherwise he would not have entered the ranks of generals." The Duke family has always been known for being a general civilization who can fight well, and in comparison, Edmundo Duke is no longer even a big man. ”

In the face of such a report, there is naturally no shortage of opposition.

The opposition pointed out that Duke was hyping and Liberty was maliciously slandering. Duke is 53 years old this year, and in two years, if he can't become a general, then he will have to retire from the position of first-line commander and retire in a less important second-line position. So he was in a hurry and did not hesitate to rub the hot spot in this way.

UNN's owner, Handy Anderson, is in pain and happy, and the reason for the happiness is that UNN has received unprecedented attention. Compared with the report from Kenneth and Liberty, the live broadcast of the remote broadcast company is simply something that cannot be put on the stage.

In the bitter words of his assistant: No matter how much attention is high, they are all a bunch of poor D's silk and life defeat dogs, with no economic value, and it is estimated that the money they crowdfunded is not enough to buy a better cemetery in Tasannis for Oliver, who is acting with his life.

The far-reaching company is no longer worried, but some people are dissatisfied with the situation of their own family in the ring, in the words of others: "The incident that could have been recorded in history was turned into a celebrity gossip incident and a fan pinching incident." You've got to give me an explanation!"

This is where Anderson suffers, Liberty's report is an accident caused by negligence in authority, after all, the Duke family is not easy to offend, and it is normal to give some space for him to brag about himself, who would have thought that guy could play the drama of exploring the mountains across the sea?

Another painful part is that we are now faced with a dilemma.

In terms of popularity, Liberty's past word-of-mouth + aftertaste of dry goods videos are obviously coming from behind, and the audience is obviously more interested in follow-up reports, and Duke's guy has already led Alpha to kill Josara.

At this time, it is not good for the official and military to reprimand Duke for violating the order. After all, Leon Fox is really only playing in the new Melbourne area.

However, the power behind the Ares Independent Brigade is not covered, and with the outbreak of fighting in Josala, many people have already understood, and then they exclaimed that the 'Purple Badge' acted ahead of time and controlled the future in advance. Other people are now thinking about how to avoid losses as much as possible in the social turmoil caused by the ensuing wars of more alien civilizations, and the purple badge that is one step ahead is already thinking about how to make profits.

Anderson also understands this truth, so he doesn't want to offend the Fox family, the core family in the purple badge.

"Is the bet going to fail? never!" Anderson finally decided to use his power to get a small media out on stage.

This small outlet, affiliated with UNN, does not have any evidence to prove it. In the past, its role was to attack hostile media, the kind that dared to splash any dirty water.

Anderson decided that if the Purple Badge loses in the future, then he will use a series of irrefutable evidence to prove that this small media is UNN's, and UNN was forced by the obscenity of the Purple Badge to 'save the country by the curve', which is actually a bet on both sides.

As for the hostile media that has led to this, the more and more hated UNN, as the saying goes, it is mediocre not to be envied. Those people have long hated UNN to the core, and they are not bad for adding more. What's more, it's not just UNN who plays like this, they all play like this, tacitly.

So Liberty and his series of reports disappeared from UNN, but soon appeared in a small media, this small media is like a basin newspaper in the Earth era, and has been sought for revenge every once in a while, and has developed a strong skill comparable to that of an underground worker.

And they can always steal communication traffic, spread their illegal videos, if you want to put an end to it, you have to improve the device encryption technology, this difficulty is much more difficult than the competition between graphics card manufacturers and game companies back then, not to say that you can upgrade it.

Liberty was like a fish in water in small media and quickly became a super anchor, he first released the uncut version of the Wild Goose Squad Josara's Life Defense in installments, and then played the murderous version of the Alpha Squadron Sharpening Knife.

In this report, it is not only to advocate how the Alpha Squadron is a strong soldier, but also to show off a show that is in a hurry to meet the soldiers.

Using the Nord II's military-grade reconnaissance device, Colonel Duke was able to locate a transport fleet attached to the Purple Badge.

There are several Purple Badges in a fleet like this, mainly used to transfer the Purple Badge's property to the planets where the alien virus has been found.

In this operation, Duke successfully played a wave of fame.

"Listen, people from the Fast Flying Company, you are now urgently called up by the Alpha Squadron of the Federation Mobile Fleet, and immediately throw all the materials on the ship except for non-medicines, food, blankets and other emergency relief materials into space, and accept the boarding and takeover, which must be carried out unconditionally, otherwise I will sink you on behalf of the Federation, I don't care who your boss is, let him send me a bill. ”

So a large amount of supplies was thrown into space, and Alpha Squadron led a large convoy of transport ships to kill Josala.

Asking so-and-so to send me a bill has become a popular phrase for a long time, representing Lao Tzu's awesomeness, Lao Tzu's pride, and Lao Tzu's indifference.

Then the Alpha Squadron performed an airborne operation in New Oakland, the second largest city.

Instead of descending into the city, it directly assaulted the army junction of the surface insects. The railgun clears, followed by the orbital drop pod, followed by the transport plane dropping heavy units.

At the same time, the railgun fire has begun to extend its firepower, and it has completed the struggle for air supremacy and the washing of the ground on the close hand of stealth fighters and bombers.

In fact, the railgun has already knocked out all the anti-aircraft units of the alien insects, including the alien dragon's nest, and after the air combat troops have eliminated the few alien dragons, they have slaughtered the main king insects that can detect and transport, and then the banshee helicopter washes the floor.

The previously airborne marines relied on heavy weapons to establish temporary blocking positions to block the return of insects attacking Oakland.

When the air force quickly washed away the hive, the insects that returned to help were also surrounded and annihilated.

However, the Alpha Squadron did not chase after the north, but took advantage of its own quick investment and quick recovery, and quickly packed up and left after the return insect collapsed.

Ground troops rushed to Auckland to join up with the defenders there.

The aerial unit points at another hive.

Less than an hour after the Alpha Squadron left, and before the smoke on the battlefield had cleared, a large number of alien insects frantically pounced, and of course, they flew into the air.

Then I received a call for help from the attack on the hive.

On the track, the second launch, this kind of high mobility, can also be regarded as the advantage of the Alpha squadron, the mobile force, not only running fast.

When these supporting insects rushed back non-stop, they were greeted by a trap, the nest had been contributed, and the Alpha army took advantage of the terrain and set up a trap here to encircle and send reinforcements.

Alpha Squadron detonated all the mines and bombs carried by the fleet in one go, and more than 3 square kilometers of land turned into a scourge, which was an absolute disaster for the Alien ground forces marching intensively.

And the Alpha Squadron also used the air explosion of tactical nuclear bombs at a fixed point, which turned the sky into a sea of fire, flooding a large number of Alien Air Force units, and then it was painfully annihilated. Nord II personally descended, using his rough skin and thick flesh and fierce firepower as a target, and firmly attracted the crazy insects with heavy losses, and then there was a firepower competition, with heavy artillery bombardment on the ground and a sea of missiles from Viking fighters in the air, and the insects were quickly killed at an astonishing speed.

This series of battles directly rescued Auckland from the obscenity of the insects.

Colonel Duke, however, said, "I don't really want to fight this battle." My soldiers are not well prepared, give me an extra week, and the casualties will be reduced by seventy, however, the people of Orlanke must evacuate quickly, and if this battle is not fought, the retreat is empty talk. Well, salute to all the officers and men who fought in this operation, and to the 4th squad that died in the blockade battle, they are doing well. ”

Just when people were struck by the brilliant achievements of the Alpha Squadron and the unpretentious statement of General Duke, a new round of controversial reports came, and Colonel Duke ordered the civilians to be shot, and he himself was shot.

It turned out that the reason for the shooting was that civilians who had been detected for alien virus had to board the ship and evacuate despite being dissuaded.

The dilemma was that human physicians were not sure that the infection would be incurable. It is not even certain how and how it is infected.

Anyway, on the surface, an infected person in the incubation period of the virus can run and jump, think normally, and be a good person.

So, is it for the safety of the majority, to abandon them, or to save?

Duke's choice was clear, the infected had to stay.

In an on-site interview with Mike Liberty, Duke said: "As a soldier, I've experienced this dilemma a lot. There is no best of both worlds, only the least bad option. We don't know much about alien insects, and we're impressed by their biotechnology. My loyal and brave men have now lost nearly 300 people, and we have destroyed nothing more than a bunch of biological intelligence weapons. ”

"Yes, don't doubt what the object says, those large numbers and all kinds of insects are like drones coming off the production line, except that they are made of flesh and blood, flesh and blood that is stronger than metal, and more advanced than artificial intelligence Biological intelligence, this is a bioengineering version of weapons, which is commonly known as biological and chemical weapons. We still haven't figured out what their command structure is, we've just destroyed a few weapons factories on the front lines. ”

"So I'm actually angry. The factory of automated production, as long as the resources are enough, how many or how many are needed, can be built quickly, and we human beings, it takes 20 years from birth to adulthood, which is not counting the emotional added value, so I feel lost. We have a lot of military and civilian deaths. But in order to save more soldiers and civilians from the disaster, I have to be cruel, the infected must stay, the Alpha Squadron will send people to protect, even if it dies, it will be the Alpha Squadron who dies first, this is my explanation. If I don't listen to persuasion, then I'm going to use the heavy code. Whoever is not convinced, you can come to Josara to bite me, remember to bring weapons to fight the insects, I have a little tight military supplies here. ”

I have to say that Duke has suddenly become a CUT-level style commander, and those who like him like him to death, and many young girls are willing to give birth to monkeys to this old orangutan with a diamond-shaped head, but they don't like him, they really don't like it, and they don't care about human life, arrogant butchers, etc.

But anyway, Duke is really popular, people think that the name of the Alpha Squadron is not very powerful, although Alpha is already the first of the Greek letters, but such an awesome human combat power, how can it be in the same level as the other 23 letters? It should be called the Grand Duke's Guard, Duke originally meant Duke, but Edmundo Duke is definitely the most powerful duke of mankind ever, this is fighting aliens, no one has ever come.

And what people don't know is that a shadow named Kane hangs over all of this from head to bottom......
