Chapter 33: Go down and play a few games
At this time, in Smith's office, Bai Jie asked, "Why do you want Tom to deal with the prime minister's son, Kimberly?" ”
Smith poured a glass of red wine on the table and said, "The boss wants us to gradually start cleaning up the henchmen around Siggins and slowly weaken his influence in Congress." Tonight's event should be regarded as the beginning of a coincidence! ”
"Then you don't need Tom to go?" Bai Jie asked.
"Huh! This kind of thing can't be done openly at this stage, and besides, people inside our intelligence bureau have a file background that can be checked, so we need an unfamiliar face to do things in the shadows. ”
Smith continued while drinking: "This time we can try this Tom's water, if he is not the kind of person we want, and he really doesn't know Yurigin's secret, then it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, this guy is too capable of causing trouble!" The thought of what had just happened at the Monopoly Hotel gave Smith a headache.
"I see." Bai Jie nodded.
"It's getting late, I'll send you back!" With that, Smith got up and took Bai Jie's hand and left the office.
In the next few days, as Smith expected, the Kimberley sent several waves of people to inquire about Tom's whereabouts, but to no avail.
Just like Tom himself said, he is now a black account, as long as he doesn't show his head, there is really no way to find out his details.
So for the next month or so, Tom recuperated from his injuries while quietly collecting information about the Kimberley with Anne, but he never found any loopholes to exploit.

At this time, the star of Barcelona had already fallen. The 103rd, 104th, and 105th mechanized infantry divisions under the Fifth Army of the Saitan Federation stationed on Basel Star, plus two armored divisions of the 117th and 118th Divisions, as well as two independent space marine regiments airdropped by the Scorpio local fleet in front, resisted the indiscriminate bombardment overhead without the support of the space fleet and the land-based air force was almost completely lost. After more than a month of fierce fighting, the four integrated armored divisions and six mechanized infantry divisions airdropped by the Vesuvius space carrier mixed fleet of the Vilia Imperial Blood Wolf Legion insisted on fierce fighting, and finally suffered more than half of the casualties, and had no choice but to retreat.
After the ground landing force of the Vilia Empire's Blood Wolf Legion occupied the Basel Star, it quickly used it as a springboard and began to expand the various civilian interstellar ports on the planet, and all of them were converted into military ports, in preparation for the next attack on the resource planet known as the "Scorpion Star" - Alpha Star.
The huge state apparatus of the Setan Federation is also fully operational. Immediately after the United States of the Commonwealth of Setans declared war on the Vilia Empire, President Johnson was sworn in as the wartime president of the Federation, and Congress passed a draft budget to increase military spending.
Major military factories began to work overtime day and night, not only stepping up the construction of all kinds of warships, warplanes, and mechas, but also desperately producing all the guns and munitions needed for various wars. Some large civilian enterprises have also been requisitioned by the military to cooperate with military factories in the production of various logistical support materials.
The recruitment propaganda work of recruits is also in full swing, and batches of recruits bid farewell to their hometowns and put on military uniforms to enlist in the army. Combat units have also been assembled and ready to go to the battlefield at any time to serve the country.
The Mixed Fleet of the Fourth Space Carrier Fleet of the Federation stationed in Ophiuchus has joined the Third Space Carrier Fleet from Serpentia, and under the leadership of Marshal Williams, it is planning to launch an offensive against the Blood Wolf Legion, hoping to recapture Basel in one fell swoop, and crush the Blood Wolf Legion's attempt to continue attacking Alpha Star, in order to gain a strategic turnaround.

At Capital Star, Tom's injuries have healed a lot and he can now walk on his own with crutches.
On this day, he was idle, so he walked alone to the training ground behind the office building of the Intelligence Bureau to watch the training of the armed mecha team responsible for fire support in the Second Operations Section.
Seeing Bai Jie also standing on the edge of the training ground from a distance, Tom hurried up and greeted with a hippie smile: "Yo! Section Chief Bai also came to supervise the training in person today? These girls should hard! hard! Otherwise, the next time you encounter the scorpion mecha of the Vilia Empire, you won't have to 。。。。。。 Seeing Bai Jie turn his head and glare at him, Tom quickly closed his mouth.
"How's going on with the Kimberley?" Bai Jie lit a cigarette and asked.
"Still haven't made much progress. That guy doesn't seem to have any hobbies other than gambling. Tom scratched his head and said, "Besides, you know, I'm not a police officer." If you want to talk about legal and reasonable rectification, I'm not as professional as your gang in black suits. ”
Bai Jie spit out a puff of smoke rings and said coldly, "That's your business." Director Smith is already urging, if you drag on this matter any longer, just wait to go where you need to go! ”
Seeing that the style of conversation was wrong, Tom quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "You see that their movements are rigid and their postures are stiff. These girls usually look pretty good, but with this mecha operation level, the next time they encounter those two poisonous scorpions, even if they bring all the equipment, I'm afraid they will only have to flee for their lives! ”
"Oh? Are you good at mechs? Bai Jie asked casually with a smile.
"Hehe, Section Chief Bai knows that I used to be in the mecha battalion when I was mixed in the guerrillas. If you want to say that the real knife and gun are dry, I'm afraid these few colors are still not enough. Tom was on crutches with a look of contempt on his face.
At this time, a latest-type Brave II individual mecha on the training ground was leading more than a dozen Warrior III individual mechs to train the most basic tactical movements such as running, punching, kicking, slashing, blocking, standing and kneeling shooting. The level of the brave mecha pilot is obviously much higher than that of the other warrior pilots, the tactical movements are quickly connected, and the various postures of the mecha are also in place.
"Why don't I give you a chance to go down and play with them?" Bai Jie said with a smile.
"It's not big, is it? Fists and feet have no eyes! Besides, I'm still disabled. ”
Bai Jie didn't bother to pay attention to this fat man who often messed around, she pinched the cigarette butt in her hand, grabbed Tom's crutches again, and shouted to the other side of the walkie-talkie: "Mike, ask someone to drive out the spare mecha in the warehouse." You find someone to come out and make two moves with Tom Wang! ”
Maybe Bai Jie also listened to Smith's words before, and suddenly wanted to try Tom's skills at this time.
Soon, a man in black drove over a brand-new warrior mecha and stopped in front of Bai Jie and Tom. With a height of 5 meters and a weight of 17 tons, this Warrior III mecha is the latest upgraded version of the Warrior Mecha.
At this time, a warrior mecha driven by a man in black from the second section stood in the middle of the training ground, and the brave mecha retreated to the sidelines with the rest of the warrior mechas.
The pilots in the warrior mecha all jumped out of the cockpit and gathered together to watch the excitement.
Under Bai Jie's repeated urging, the fat man, who originally wanted to rely on two crutches for a few more days, finally had to bite the bar, and with the support of a man in black, he deliberately limped into the cockpit of the warrior mecha.
"Hey! I've never driven this kind of Federation mecha! As soon as he got into the cockpit, Tom started calling.
Bai Jie frowned, and shouted over the walkie-talkie, "Mike, you send someone to tell him." ”
As he spoke, a man in black climbed onto Tom's cockpit door and briefly explained all the joysticks and buttons except for the fire control system and the energy defense shield.
Tom asked as he listened, and the two of them chattered inside for a long time before the man in black jumped out.
"Buzz!" With the loud sound of the engine, Tom stood up in the Warrior Mech, and staggered to the middle of the field.
The warrior mecha on the opposite side saw that Tom had finally come over, and he rushed up with the mecha manipulating, and it was a standard upward punch at Tom!
