Chapter 57: Decision
As the saying goes, it is not rude to come and go, and the integration movement launched an attack in the heart of Longmen, resulting in serious casualties and property damage.
Therefore, before the corpses of the invaders in the Governor's Palace had been cleaned up, Wei Yanwu issued an order for the Guards Bureau to conduct an armed reconnaissance: not only to show the determination of the Dragon Gate, but also to deter the young people inside; By the way, we will also explore the bottom of the integration movement and prepare for the next military operation---
In fact, in Zhao Xi's opinion, the intention of avenging the victims also exists, but a middle-aged man of the dragon clan hid it in order not to fall into the mouth of the reckless army.
Rhode Island was assigned the task for a variety of reasons, and it was thanks to Amiya and Kelsey that they had recently been so busy that they had disappeared.
Manpower, weapons, vehicles, formalities for the Flame Nation and Ursus... Projects were implemented one by one, and the financing was in full swing, but less than 24 hours before the start of the operation, Rhode Island received new information.
An abandoned urban area appeared outside the Dragon Gate, presumably part of Chernobog.
Although the scale is far less than that of the gantry, the mobile city that has been integrated with motion control is still based on the splicing of multiple civilian versions of land ships as the chassis. In the event of a major disaster, it is theoretically possible to break up the city into fragmented urban areas, each of which can be escaped in order to survive.
It cannot be ruled out that the survivors of Chernobog are desperate to make such a move in order to survive, and it is difficult to deny that the integration movement will be planned to lurk in the middle of the plan to "jump the gang" again, and Kelsey, who has just returned to Rhode Island, has also gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures in the new situation.
"Facility 14, formerly part of Chernobog Landing Site A and the storage area." The operating equipment showed the projection in the center of the round table, and the film, who was still dressed in an off-the-shoulder suit and a white coat, said in a calm tone: "An hour and twelve minutes ago, it appeared in the wilderness ten kilometers away from the dragon gate, and continued to approach at a speed of two kilometers per hour. ”
"That is to say..."The fingers tapped his temples rhythmically, and Zhao Xi reported the answer after mental arithmetic. If that city doesn't slow down, it will hit the gantry in three hours and forty-eight minutes. ”
"Not really, brother." Sitting in his chair and stretching, the doctor looked unmotivated. "The gantry is also advancing, it doesn't make contact so quickly, and with its size, even if it bumps into each other, it's not a big deal."
"That being said, do your best."
It is not unreasonable to admit what the other party said, but Zhao Xi cares more about the identity of the other party than the speaker's point of view. "Why are you here, mother monkey?"
"Who do you call a female monkey, bastard!?" His expression turned cloudy in an instant, and Chen Huijie immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword. "Try it again, look at me-"
"Old and ugly female monkey~"
"Hey, that..." Seeing that one of the two was about to draw his sword, and the other sneered and took out his longbow, Amiya, who was sitting on the main seat, quickly stood between them, waving her hands anxiously. Calm down, please. ”
"Officer Chen, Mr. Miller has always compared-"
Kind but not good at eloquence, the rabbit-eared girl hesitated for a while before she found a suitable word. "He has always been more free and emotional, but he has no malice and hopes to bear with him."
The red eyes reflected Amiya's lovely and innocent face, without any malice, and her lips were silent for a long time, and then Chen Huijie let go of her hand and slowly sat back in place.
"Mr. Miller," seeing that one side was convinced, Carters immediately turned his gun and protested in a puff. "Officer Chen is a good person, don't give her a strange nickname!"
Good? Looking at someone's performance in his memory, Zhao Xi really found it difficult to label the person concerned with this label, but for Amiya's angry expression that was more appropriate to describe cutely, he decided to take a step back for the sake of Carters' girlish love.
"Okay, I won't call Officer Chen that way in the future."
The two of them who reached an agreement still blew their beards and stared, but they finally stopped fighting, and Kelsey, who was watching coldly, raised his finger when he saw this, and continued to point at the projection. "Rhode Island sent a contact, but unfortunately I didn't receive a reply..."
"It's useless to receive it, I can think of no less than four ways to send fake messages, wife~"
Giving the interjector a meaningful look, Kelsey slowed down and concluded, "We have decided to cancel the plan to investigate Chernoborg and send personnel to forcibly enter the abandoned city to confirm the internal situation before taking countermeasures. ”
"Rhode Island is very grateful for the willingness of the Guards Bureau to provide technical support this time." Standing up and bowing, Amiya faced Chen Huijie and said solemnly: "Given the situation in Chernobog, we speculate that there must be a considerable number of survivors in Facility 14, if Chief Wei doesn't mind, can the Guards Bureau help..."
The words were not said completely, but the subtext Zhao Xi could guess that he wanted to take in the Chernoberg residents who had taken refuge in Longmen, after all, Rhode Island is a pharmaceutical company, and its own carrying capacity is limited, so it can't accept too many people.
The sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and Chen Huijie looked a little surprised. "Why not do the reconnaissance at the same time? The abandoned city and the main city of Chernobog, both sides of the information are very important. ”
"Because of the lack of manpower, officer." As the plan of action was being handed out to the attendees, Kelsey paused and immediately explained what he had done. "Rhode Island experienced the Chernobog unrest beforehand, and some of the operatives stayed there forever, so we couldn't get together two groups."
Listening to their conversation, Zhao Xi flipped through the plan he had started, and only then did he confess what a dilemma Rhode Island was in now: the reconnaissance team divided into five teams with a total of twenty-two members, nearly half of them were paramilitaries who had not completed their training and were classified as reserve groups.
Zhao Xi, who had several combat experiences and fought against the cadres of the integration movement, was naturally incorporated into the team and served as the captain of one of the groups.
It's really a duck on the shelf, so why don't you ask my opinion. With Kelsey's self-assertion in his heart, the young man was bored and flipped through the files of his group members, and his expression gradually became solemn. "Hey, it's ---"
"Aha~" slapped Zhao Xi on the shoulder, making his inquiry come to an abrupt end. "Brother, I suddenly feel thirsty, let's go have a drink or two."
Pulling each other up familiarly, the doctor pushed the young man with a puzzled face to leave the conference room. Seeing that the figures of the two were hidden by the closed door, Kelsey refocused his gaze on Chen Huijie across the table.
"In half an hour, Rhode Island will launch a reconnaissance operation, do you still have any questions about Longmen?"
Shaking her head like a windshield wiper, the blue-haired woman hesitated for a long time before she sighed faintly: "I'm sorry, the Guards Bureau really can't spare manpower." ”
"It's okay," Amiya whispered a few words, and Film, who was sorting out the documents, asked seemingly casually, "Is the contact signal used by the Guards Bureau changed every time, or is it a fixed frequency?" ”
"What is this for?"
"It's always inconvenient to bother you to run errands every time, and you don't want to quarrel with that idiot, officer."
The look of suspicion gradually dissipated, Chen Huijie took out the walkie-talkie and operated it, and informed Kelsey of the signal. "In order to prevent eavesdropping, our communication bands are encrypted, and I will ask the telecommunications team to approve your signal when I go back... Good luck with the action. ”。
Accepting the other party's kindness, the rabbit-eared girl sent the leader of the inspection team away from the land-based ship, Kelsey took out the device and silently dialed a number.
"You guessed it right, the internal communications of the Guards Bureau have anti-eavesdropping settings."
