Chapter 1366 Lure the snake out of its hole
Cheng Yi left.
Somewhere on the high seas, Cheng Yi left on a small plane and joined up with the special envoys who were already in South Africa. He then went to Victoria Airport via a special line arranged by the Eurasian Federation to make preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony.
After leaving on Cheng Yi's small plane, the Polaris slowly landed on the sea under Feng Yun's command.
"General! Now that we have this opportunity, why not experience the new features of this new Polaris II battleship for yourself!"
Feng Yun had a smug smile on his face, like a little boy who had just got his favorite toy.
He Ming sighed secretly.
Of course he could see through this little trick.
The only difference is that compared to the previous generation Polaris, this new Polaris has added a diving mode.
"Wait and see."
He Ming nodded without showing any impatience, and his expression was very calm.
"As expected of General He."
Upon seeing this, Feng Yun secretly sighed, then raised his hand to signal the helmsman to activate the submersible mode, allowing the Polaris to dive to the bottom of the sea and remain hidden on standby.
Little did people know that, let alone underwater diving, He Ming had even experienced subspace diving.
The new features that seemed surprising to Feng Yun did not amaze He Ming at all.
However, the Niyu team strolled to the observation deck and watched the scenery outside the porthole gradually being submerged by the blue sea, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Especially after the Polaris sank completely and came to rest on the seabed covered with fine sand, gradually a number of colorful fish swam cautiously around the Polaris. The four of them immediately started an identification competition. It was so lively that Mariu, who had originally wanted to discuss the next improvements with the four members of the Niyu team, couldn't help but smile, slowed down his pace, and walked towards the hangar.
The war is about to begin, let them relax for a while!
As the light from the sea surface gradually dimmed, a specially encrypted piece of information was intercepted by a communication buoy left on the sea surface and then forwarded to the CIC of the Polaris.
A few minutes later, the CIC with a serious face knocked on the door of Feng Yun's captain's room.
"Captain. Urgent call from home!"
"Okay! Wait a moment."
Feng Yun reached out to take the information and handed it to He Ming.
"General, come and see!"
"Captain, being lazy is not a good habit."
He Ming reached out to take it and said casually.
"No. With you here, I just have to follow orders."
Feng Yun smiled.
“How is this different from being lazy?”
He Ming quickly browsed through it and looked at CIC.
"Issue the second-level combat preparation! Get everyone moving!"
"Yes! Admiral! Captain, Admiral, I will take my leave now."
The CIC stood at attention and saluted, then quickly turned and left.
Feng Yun looked at He Ming, waiting for He Ming's next words.
"The enemy has started to move. Half an hour ago, a group of mercenaries of unknown origin raided Victoria Airport. Their purpose was probably to destroy a transport convoy that had just arrived at Victoria Airport."
"Transport convoy?"
Feng Yun was stunned for a moment.
According to the previous thinking, the most effective attack should be to target the special envoys or the senior officials of the Eurasian Federation who attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
How come they attacked the transport convoy in the blink of an eye?
"Yes. The cargo carried by that transport convoy is very special. It is a special material specially developed to adapt to the geological environment around the selected site. The output is not very abundant. Once this convoy is destroyed, the Solar Energy Construction Alliance will not be able to produce enough materials for the first phase of foundation engineering for at least one to two years."
"One to two years?"
Feng Yun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked shocked. "General, is that so?"
"Yes. Captain, you guessed right. Since the construction of the first orbital elevator, we have been planning the preliminary work of site selection for the second and third orbital elevators."
Feng Yun was surprised, then shook his head.
"It seems that I was right to insist on serving as the captain of the Polaris. Compared with you guys who have a long-term vision, I am so short-sighted."
He Ming laughed and said with relief.
"Captain, there's no need to be so self-deprecating. Just do your job! We'll talk about this later!"
He Ming brought the topic back.
"The first step of luring the snake out of its hole has been taken. Now, it depends on whether the other party is willing to take the bait."
"Aren't you afraid they'll back off?"
"No, we are not afraid. This is an open conspiracy. Those special materials are indeed real. Moreover, once they are destroyed, it will be impossible to successfully build the foundation for the second orbital elevator in the next one to two years. Therefore, we don't need to worry about whether the other party will take the bait."
A gleam of light flashed in He Ming's eyes.
"No matter what, we won't lose. If they come, we'll fight. If they don't come, we'll lay a solid foundation and build this second rail elevator!"
Deep in the mountains somewhere near the South African border.
Inside a base hidden deep in the woods.
Thor was frowning, looking at the information sent back from the front, wondering what he was thinking.
"Thor, those mercenaries failed."
As the deputy in this operation, Frey pushed open the door and broke the bad news.
"Yes, I know. It's a matter of course. Frey. Don't be discouraged."
Thor's expression remained calm.
He stretched out his finger and the moment he moved it across the map, it landed on a red cross.
"Frey, look, this is the final site for the second orbital elevator. Our next task is to destroy it."
Frey stepped forward, looked at the red cross on the map, and frowned deeply.
"Thor, we have no weapons of mass destruction."
"Yes. We don't, but we have alternatives."
Thor smiled coldly.
"The aggressiveness of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance has dealt a heavy blow to our friends, and even caused a lot of noise among them. Therefore, our friends hope that we can do them a favor."
"Is this the batch of goods that Odin asked you to receive before?"
Frey raised his eyebrows and said casually.
"Yes, that's right. That batch of goods should be the key to our completion of this mission."
"Okay! Thor, I'll listen to you this time. Everything, for the World Tree!"
Thor nodded happily.
He was pleased to see that Frey, who was his equal and had the same authority, was willing to obey orders.
"Don't worry, Frey! We will definitely succeed in this mission!"
Tolton paused and continued.
“Frei, let the mercenaries behind go out as well! There’s no need to deliberately target those high-ranking officials, just go after that batch of special materials. I believe these mercenaries will be happy to accept such a mission.”
"After all, compared to facing the heavily protected envoys and high-ranking officials, who might even attract sniper attacks from MS troops, mercenaries prefer tasks that can earn them money by destroying dead objects."
