Chapter 13: Operation "Hellfire".
In the conference room, the discussion was nearing the end, and Blake began to summarize: "The plan is clear, and now I announce the mission arrangement: Captain Arthur, you lead two squads to attack the transport ship of Olympus, move quickly, get as many weapons and supplies as possible, and return within a month."
Captain Arthur, dressed in his military uniform, stood up and gave a standard military salute to Blake. He was originally the captain of Saturn's advance team.
"Colonel Wayne, you take three squads and follow me back to Earth, and we will return in four months. We're going to reorganize our forces and find someone by the way......" Blake paused for a moment and continued, "Marshal Pamish. ”
"Marshal Pamish? As far as I know, Uranus has been destroyed, and there is no way he is still alive. Colonel Wayne was puzzled.
"This is a temporary decision, fifteen minutes ago I received the news that the 'Uranus' had launched three escape pods in the direction of Earth before it was destroyed, and if nothing else, Marshal Parmish was in the escape pods. As everyone knows, Marshal Pamish served in the League of Nations and had a high prestige in the army. On the eve of the collapse of the League of Nations, we also retained two outer space garrisons, and if we can win them over, it will greatly enhance our strength. Blake explained.
Colonel Wayne nodded in understanding.
"Also, Major Clausius, you take a small detachment to Europa, try to steal Olympus's route planner, and return in two months. It's a difficult task, can it be done? ”
"No problem, mission guaranteed!" Major Clausius' voice was loud. His original unit was the Wehrmacht battalion aboard the Orion, which is now called the first battalion of the new G-64 Wehrmacht.
"What about me?" Seeing that he had no task of his own, Director Fairman asked anxiously.
"You stay at the base and do a good job of defense."
"Oh, I think I can do other jobs too." Fehrman tried to change Blake's mind.
"The defense of the base is also an important task, and you can play a bigger role here." Blake's words were resolute, without a hint of emotion.
Fehlman was helpless, he wanted to show himself too much, but he could only say, "Oh, well, I'll obey orders."
"Director Fairman, you're an E-class, we're going to borrow your ID card for a while."
"No problem, of course no problem, but then it's D-class."
"It's better that way."
"Uh, so I'm in charge of everything at base?" Fehrman asked.
"No, you're going to do Captain Richard's orders."
Captain Richard sat across from Fairman and nodded at him. Until Blake and the others arrived here, the Titan base had been Richard in charge.
"Oh my gosh...... All right. Fellman leaned back in his chair in disappointment.
After the task is arranged, do you still have questions? ”
"Nope!" The crowd replied in unison.
"Split up and set off in three hours."
With that, Blake and the others got up and walked out of the conference room. Virgil had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time. Seeing Blake coming out, Virgil immediately greeted him and said, "Uncle Blake, I'm going too."
Blake took him in his arms and said, "You're young, not old enough to fight."
Virgil was very unconvinced: "Who said that children can't participate in battles, I can fly fighters and shoot guns, I can be in the military association, I learned from books."
"Good boy, you haven't even touched a fighter, don't think about it, the battlefield is not a place for you to stay." Blake reassured.
"Although I haven't touched it, I've read a lot of books, I can draw the structure of each fighter, recite the basic parameters of each fighter, just give me a fighter, don't believe it, I can drive it right away!"
Blake just laughed it off, and he didn't have to worry about it. But Virgil still chattered: "The history books say that more than 1,000 years ago, there was a prince in the kingdom of Aston who led an army to conquer a country at the age of 14. I'm only three years younger than him, so I'm not far behind. ”
Blake laughed and said, "1,000 years ago was not now. The form of war has changed dramatically. What's more, people are princes, and you are not princes, how can you compare with others? When you reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, I will naturally take you to fly a fighter. Let's take a good rest, read more books in the past few months, and my uncle is about to leave. ”
Seeing that he could not move him, Virgil walked away angrily.
Three hours later, the dock opened, from which six transport ships flew out.
At this time, Virgil had already sneaked into a fighter plane, and after the six transport ships were far away, he shouted: "Tower, tower, fighter No. 0491 requests to take off."
"The tower received, please show the mission code."
"027BLK, here's Blake's code. 'Hellfire' action. It turned out that Virgil had already obtained Blake's identity code and hacked into the system of the Titan base, and all kinds of information could be seen at a glance.
"The tower received it, and it was allowed to take off."
Virgil let out a long breath as he turned the knob to unlock the engine; Sliding the wheel, the reactor power is gradually increased; With a flip of the slide bar, the fighter plane took off.
"Good brother, come, obedient, good brother...... "Virgil prayed, first time driving, don't mess up.
The fighter shook for a while, flew out smoothly, and went straight out of the atmosphere.
"Colonel Wayne, there is a point of light behind us, two hundred and twenty thousand kilometers away, and the speed is very fast."
"Ignore it, it could be wandering rocks or ice, we've just left Saturn's rings, and that's normal." On the transport ship, Colonel Wayne said to his subordinates.
Virgil piloted the warplane to follow Blake's transport ship from afar, and he had prepared enough rations to follow them to the earth to find out.
He looked at the rings of Saturn that were fading away, and muttered, "Operation 'Hellfire', interesting......"
