Chapter 1865: Operation Begins!
"Absurd!! No matter how difficult the situation is in our country, we can still provide the necessary engineering personnel!"
Upon receiving the order from the capital, Li Xingke was the first to express his incomprehension.
"There's nothing I can't understand, Star Engraving."
With his hands behind his back, Gao Hai watched as truckloads of supplies drove up the temporary pier and were quickly transformed into buildings needed for the military base by the Earth Federation Army's engineering corps. As he watched the supplies being transported, a cold smile gradually crept across his face.
As one of the eunuchs, Gao Hai naturally understood what his colleagues who served by the emperor's side were thinking when they made this extremely absurd decision.
The front lines have suffered heavy losses and are finding it difficult to allocate enough resources and manpower to help the Earth Federation Forces, who have come from afar to help expel the BETA, build a base.
joke!
Do you really think Gao Hai didn't personally visit the front lines?
Although the defensive line built along the mountain will suffer heavy damage in every large-scale attack by BETA, it will only cause the first and second defensive lines built at the foot of the mountain to collapse. It is impossible to destroy the core of this forward defensive line - the third and fourth defensive lines - in a short period of time.
If those damned extradimensional monsters really threaten the third and fourth lines of defense, the colleagues guarding the emperor's side wouldn't even need Gao Hai to say a word; they would immediately rush over to help.
Li Xingke noticed the cold smile on Gao Hai's lips, but remained silent.
Conflicts and power struggles between military officers and eunuchs occurred frequently, but the infighting among eunuchs was far more terrifying than the conflicts with military officers.
As a result, Gao Hai, who successfully invited reinforcements, not only did not receive a reward, but was also forced to take the blame for poor hospitality.
Anyone would be extremely annoyed in this situation.
"Xingke, you stay here and assist Colonel Ming. I will lead my men back to the capital tomorrow to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
In the slightly salty sea breeze, Li Xingke heard an answer that was exactly what he expected.
"Yes, Lord Gao Hai."
The following morning, Gao Hai left with his men, leaving only Li Xingke and a few other military officers to assist the Earth Federation Army.
He Ming was not surprised by this.
Regardless of the world, parallel world, or ancient dynasties, the group of eunuchs will always inadvertently engage in infighting and vying for power and profit.
He Ming glanced at it casually and then ignored it.
After the first phase of construction was completed at the Earth Federation Forces' military base, the forward communication and control center, which was established first, began collecting scanning data from numerous satellites.
"I never imagined there were so many eyes in the sky!"
CC stood in the control center lobby, looking at the real-time aerial views transmitted back one by one, and exclaimed in amazement.
"It's also thanks to the fact that the floating continent wasn't affected by too many Minovsky particles that the real-time data transmitted back by the satellite was relatively clear."
He Ming nodded.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Alice Tina beside him.
"Warrant officer, have you found anything?"
"Yes, Colonel. Comparing ground data."
After actually entering the floating continent, the Earth Federation fleet led by He Ming discovered that this floating continent was not as simple as it seemed.
From the ground, this floating continent appears to be only the size of a phantom suspended above Eurasia. However, upon actually stepping onto the floating continent, everyone was surprised to find that the space and land area of this floating continent exceeded their expectations.
For example, now.
Alice Tina just completed some important data comparisons.
"Ground data comparison complete. Colonel, the results are in."
Alice's face was filled with a solemn expression.
"Somewhere on the western side of the floating continent, there is a high probability that there is an East German military base. Moreover, there is a certain chance that it is the military base where my former 666th Brigade was stationed."
Alice paused, then continued, "But according to satellite photos, there are no signs of any life activity in that area, only some man-made structures."
"No signs of life? Perhaps they haven't been caught in the spacetime shock yet, or perhaps they haven't emerged from the dimensional quake."
The name was unexpected, but not particularly surprising.
After learning that the floating continent was being attacked by the BETA and that half of its territory had fallen, He Ming already had some guesses.
After entering the floating continent and establishing on-site connections and monitoring with satellite networks, these speculations eventually became reality.
"Very likely. If that's the case, perhaps the culprit behind the anomalies on the floating continent is that Level 6 HIVE core nest."
Alice Tina said with a solemn expression.
"If that's the case, the colonel's plan has hit the bullseye!"
"Hehe. No need to praise me. Perhaps it's just a coincidence!"
He Ming waved his hand, and then said.
"Regardless, our next steps will remain unchanged. CC, prepare the MS units participating in the first wave of attacks to launch! Warrant Officer Alice, have you completed your MS training?"
"Yes, Colonel. I have completed all the courses! But I am unable to pass the final assessment."
Upon hearing this, He Ming shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Don't take the final assessment to heart; it's not a test that beginners can pass."
"Yes, Colonel!"
"Alright, Alice, you're assigned to the first wave of MS units. Prepare for the attack!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
CC and Alice stood at attention and saluted before turning and leaving the control center.
He Ming, who was about to leave, was stopped by the major in charge of the monitoring and control center.
"Colonel, this is the footage just taken by Eagle Eye 81 satellite. The target area is located 30 kilometers northwest of the area where we are about to carry out our first wave of attacks. According to satellite monitoring, there appears to be a BETA nest under construction here, Level 1."
He Ming glanced at the major, and the major's name immediately came to mind—Joseph von Richter.
Similarly, they were also recommended by Gop.
After taking the photograph from Joseph and examining it carefully for a while, He Ming's expression gradually became serious.
"This shouldn't all be footage taken by Hawkeye 81, right?"
"Yes, Colonel. After detecting anomalies in the target area, we deployed several satellites, including Hawkeye 75, 31, and 10, to focus on the target area in an attempt to confirm the situation from more angles."
"Although we were unable to take clearer photos in the short time, we believe there are traces of MS activity in the target area."
Major Joseph paused, then spoke with a serious expression.
"That's neither one of our mobile suits nor one from this floating continent. It's very likely a mobile suit from a third party, one that was also caught in the dimensional quake and arrived at this floating continent!"
He Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded silently, acknowledging Joseph's conclusion.
“You did a good job. But this information will remain confidential until I return.”
"Yes, Colonel!"
Joseph didn't understand that even before reporting to He Ming, he had given orders to keep it a secret from all relevant personnel.
what is the reason?
Joseph didn't care.
From the moment He Ming led this Earth Federation fleet to the floating continent, He Ming became the supreme commander of this fleet.
No one could question He Ming's orders!
