At 16:37 on June 15, 254 in the cosmic calendar, the cruiser USS Alaba, the flagship of the assault fleet, launched a space rocket. The rocket flew towards Basel at the second cosmic speed, and after more than 30 minutes of steady flight, it reached the vicinity of Basel's synchronous orbit.

At 17:10, a power outage suddenly occurred at a space power station of the Basel synchronous orbit radar system, and the garrison personnel of the Saitan Military Department stationed in the Basel Space Radar Bureau also discovered that the switch of the backup power supply of the radar system was also faulty.

At 17:15, after 5 minutes of emergency repairs, the synchronous orbit radar system returned to normal after replacing the backup power switch.

But in this undefended five-minute interval, the manned landing module on which Saori Tokugawa was riding broke away from the space rocket and entered the atmosphere of Basel.

At 18:01, after flying in the atmosphere for more than 40 minutes, the landing module landed on the outskirts of the city of Aucklandis. After the hatch of the landing module popped open, a fiery red mech stood up from the landing module.

This fiery red mech is a Zero Type I medium individual mecha piloted by Saori Tokugawa, this medium mecha is the latest scientific research achievement of the Vilia Empire, and even special armored combat units have not yet begun to be officially installed in large quantities.

The Zero Type I is 6 meters tall, weighs 24 tons, is equipped with a 37mm caliber long-barreled cannon and two 7.7mm heavy machine guns, is loaded with 10 mecha missiles, and has a maximum frontal armor thickness of 40mm. Although it is a single mecha, the Zero Type I has reached the level of a medium-sized mecha in terms of firepower configuration and armor defense strength. The individual control system of the Zero Type I makes the mecha lighter, making it at the leading level of medium-sized military mecha in various countries in terms of mobility and flexibility.

Saori Tokugawa looked around and saw a trailer carrying an extended cargo compartment heading this way.

Soon, the trailer stopped in an open space in front of the Zero Type I mech, and a man in a designer suit and sunglasses jumped out of the car, accompanied by two tall bodyguards, and walked towards Tokugawa Saori.

At this time, a signal came from the communicator of the Zero Type I mecha, and a man's three-dimensional avatar appeared on the virtual screen, and said to Tokugawa Saori with a smile on his face: "Is it His Highness Tokugawa?" The situation has changed and it is no longer possible to go to the Alcatraz prison. ”

Saori Tokugawa frowned and asked coldly, "Why?" ”

"A few hours ago, there was a guerrilla robbery in the prison, and it was said that the fight was so bad that even the garrison of the Setan Federation was dispatched." This man is none other than Rabindranath Tagore, the president of the Black Tiger Society.

"What about the goal?" Saori Tokugawa continued to ask.

"I reported to the insiders who I had planted in the prison that this time the guerrillas came to rob Dr. Yurigin, but it didn't work, and Yurykin died in the melee."

Saori Tokugawa's brow furrowed even deeper, she didn't expect the situation to change so much now. Originally, the hunting plan was to infiltrate the Alcatraz prison with the assistance of the Black Tiger Society, quietly steal the target, and then bring it back to the fleet for slow interrogation. However, the resistance group in Saitan's country went to the prison to rob him first, resulting in Yurigin's accidental death. This made the plan of action she had been planning for months come to naught.

However, Tokugawa Saori didn't want to give up yet, why did the resistance organization in Saitan's country go to rob Yurigin in prison, did they have the same purpose as themselves?

Thinking of this, Saori Tokugawa asked again, "When Yurigin died, were there other people present?" ”

"It seems that there is a guerrilla mecha soldier, but he has been seriously injured and has been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment." Tagore replied.

"Take me there."

With that, Tokugawa Saori hid the mecha in the compartment of the trailer, and then the trailer slowly drove towards the hospital where the guerrilla mecha soldier was.

——————————————————

At half past seven o'clock that night, the Saitan government administration building in Basel was still brightly lit.

"These idiots!" On a large and luxurious desk, the phone was hung up by a middle-aged man in a white suit with a fat face. This middle-aged man is Andrew, the chief executive of Basel.

"Your Excellency, please stop your anger!" The skinny man standing next to Andrew was his secretary-general, Puyol.

"Just now someone from the State Military Commission of Inquiry called me and asked me if the prisoner was dead or alive? When can I be extradited to the capital star? How the do you let me answer! Andrew smoked his cigar sullenly.

Pujol replied with a smile: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, please don't worry, now that Yurykin is dead, it's useless to be anxious. On the side of the Military Investigation Commission, we have to write a report to explain that today's emergency was not caused by us, and I believe that those people in the Military Investigation Commission will handle it fairly. ”

The report of the Alcatraz robbery that took place this afternoon has been handed to Andrew. Although the guerrillas were wiped out, Dr. Yurigin died unexpectedly during the robbery. This has alarmed the National Military Investigation Committee of the United States of the Interstellar Federation of Setan to intervene, which has caused Andrew, the chief executive of Basel, to feel uneasy.

At this time, Andrew looked at his secretary general suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "A report can work?" That Yurygin was a well-known physicist who was sent to us by the Military Investigation Commission on possible charges of treason against the enemy. Now that people die in my place, it stands to reason that I must be the first to blame, and if I don't get it, I will be sent to a military court by the Military Investigation Commission. ”

"That's exactly what this report will do." Secretary-General Puyol, who is low-key but resourceful, has been Andrew's secretary-general for many years and has been Andrew's most proud aide.

Puyol was very familiar with the temperament of his boss, who had only sat on the throne of the chief by virtue of his brother-in-law, and he thought for a moment, then bent down and whispered in Andrew's ear for a long time.

"Well, it's still you who works when it's critical! That's the only way to do it now! Chief Executive Andrew took another puff on his cigar, but his mood was much lighter.

It turned out that Puyol suggested to Andrew that this report highlight the good command and timely rescue of the local government in Basel after the prison robbery. The attack on Alkatraz prison by the Glorian guerrillas was originally caused by the unfavorable conquest of these rebel groups by the Saitan garrison in recent years, and it had nothing to do with the local government, which had no military power.

Adding that the Alkatraz prison has now been beaten to the ground and the prison guards have suffered heavy casualties, it can be said that the local government has done its best and there is no question of dereliction of duty. Because the defense force of the prison cannot be compared with the regular armored combat force, after all, the prison security measures are not aimed at the regular army.

Puyol also advised Andrew to save his life with a broken arm, immediately dismiss Zasim, the warden of Alkatraz prison, and immediately send him to the Military Investigation Commission to cooperate with the investigation, so that the local government's posture would be sufficient. In the end, Andrew, as the chief executive, only needed to kick the ball to the garrison headquarters in charge of the military defense of Basel.

Puyol also asked Chief Executive Andrew to prepare another generous gift and personally make a trip to the Capital Star to find his brother-in-law Siggins. As long as Siggins, who was the country's prime minister at the time, said a few words, coupled with this reasonable report, it is estimated that the people of the military investigation committee will no longer ask Andrew to hold him accountable. After all, in the whole incident, the local government handled it in a timely and proper manner, and President Andrew was not at fault, and it is not necessary to say that he will still get a little credit in front of his brother-in-law, Prime Minister Siggins.

In the end, Secretary-General Pujol rolled his eyes and added, "By the way, it seems that one of the rebels who participated in the prison robbery saved a mecha soldier." Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief may have to arrange for this person to be brought under control, and perhaps it will come in handy in the near future. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for the police station to do it right away!" With that, Andrew called the police station in the city of Oaklandis.
