Chapter 10 Questions
The World Tree battle hurt the vitality of the Earth Army. After quieting for a while, he licked his wounds and did not send large troops out of the Earth in a short period of time. But this does not mean the calmness of the war. The Earth Army did not send troops. This time it was Zaft who took the initiative to send troops!
On March 8, CE70, Zaft landed on Earth through Earth's orbit and launched an attack on the Victoria Space Harbor of the Atlantic Federation, the first time the Earth's hinterland has ever suffered from an attack from the Plant.
Zaft's superior forces did suppress the battlefield at the first time, but they underestimated the potential of the local combat Earth Army. The front line from the L5 satellite group to the earth, and the front line that was pulled too long was difficult to supply. In the absence of sufficient expectations for the war, the "first Victoria offensive and defensive battle" lasted only less than thirty hours before it ceased. A large number of Zaft soldiers were annihilated, and only a small number escaped back to the universe.
This was the first real victory since the outbreak of the Earth Army and the Zaft War. The entire army was in celebration. They should not have been so excited. The strength of the Earth Army was originally above the Plant, and victory was taken for granted. However, the successive defeats since the war started were too much to hit confidence, so many natural soldiers fell into inferiority with the coordinator. The morale in the army was extremely low. Now the victory is like timely rain, which makes the army change its previous decline.
Since he is also affiliated with the Earth Army, this should of course be considered good news for Mandinez, but General Bafford cannot be optimistic in any case.
"This victory made the Blue Cosmos' power expand very well, and some military even publicly expressed their acceptance of the concept of "Blue Se Clean the World".
If ten years ago, when people talk about "Blue Cosmos", the first thing people think of is terrorists. However, ten years later, as the hatred between natural persons and coordinators becomes deeper, the concept of Blue Cosmos has begun to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even in the military, some officers who shout "Blue Se and Clean the World" are common, and there are even arguments among the people regard them as "racial heroes".
As early as the beginning of its establishment, the Earth United Nations had already withdrawn the pursuit and suppression order for blue cosmos issued by the then United Nations many years ago. Just as the second rift of the end of the Victorian offensive and defensive war, the Ministry of Defense publicly stated in an interview with reporters that "the discussion on the legal xing of the 'Blue Se Cosmos' organization will be put on the agenda."
"It seems that 'Blue Cosmos' can't wait to jump on the front stage. I really don't know what this war will turn into... Compared to this, Major General Yeyue, there may be another worse news for you." General Bafodo said worriedly in the commander's room.
Xiaofeng's fleet docked at the cosmic port of the Eurasian Federation in the universe. After the collapse of the world tree, it was the closest port to the earth's orbit. The non-commissioned officers of the fleet were on standby in the cosmic port. Xiaofeng himself took the only ship of the Sodebrega, which had the ability to descend the atmosphere without damage, and sent the tutor Molukizao back to the earth. Because he had been resting in the cosmic port for a few days, returning to the earth was the end of the "Victorian offensive and defensive battle".
Xiaofeng, who had completed the mission, returned to the Arctic base and handed over the mission with General Bafodo. However, he did not expect that as soon as he met, he saw the general's worried expression.
"Bad news? General, are you talking about my personal news?" Xiaofeng waited for Bafodo to explain in detail, but she had already guessed in her mind.
"The Earth United Military Department issued an order yesterday, hoping that you will go to the Alaska Earth Defense Headquarters next week to accept the military's inquiries."
"Question? Well, I understand, it's a 'blood-stained Valentine' day'." Xiaofeng already knew it in his heart. In fact, when she contacted Speaker Sgtel, she realized the possible consequences of doing so. Although it was through Mardinetz's emergency contact channel at that time, it was naturally unconcealable for the senior management of the board of directors.
"Since you have understood... Major General, I will go with you for this inquiry."
"Huh? Go together?" Xiao Feng was surprised. It was logical that insisting on contacting the plant was his own arbitrary action. General Bafodo, as the commander, had no connection at all. "But you don't need it, it was me..."
"No, I can agree with your decision that saved hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the plant. I want to say...you did a good job!" Bafford smiled gently. He was not a commander, but a generous elder at this time. "So, please let me do something for you, otherwise my old bone will become moldy."
"Hey? Well, that's it, you said that." Xiaofeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Speaking of it, I really want to cause trouble for you often."
"If that's the place, you are my most reliable subordinate."
No matter how much jokes, being summoned and questioned by the Federal Military Department is indeed a very troublesome thing. Fortunately, the Earth United did not admit from the beginning to the end that the nuclear bomb was sent by the military, but pushed it to the terrorists. In the current situation, this is advantageous, because since it is not the military's behavior, even in the worst case, Xiaofeng will not be considered as "leaking military secrets" - in this regard, Xiaofeng feels that he still needs to thank the dead duck of the Federation for being stubborn.
Alaska is located on the northwest Pacific coast of the United States and is the base of the Earth's joint headquarters, Josh-a. Because in the universe for many years, the Earth's scenery has not been seen for a long time. Walking on a passenger plane to the clouds makes people feel that the war seems very far away, but in fact, the already ignited war will engulf everything on this planet at any time.
After the plane arrived in Alaska, Xiaofeng stayed in the guesthouse arranged by the military base for one night, and was summoned by the military headquarters.
"It seems that the victory in Alaska made them very imposing." Barford sighed. This is really not good news for them. "Please be careful later. You can refuse to answer sensitive questions, and I will respond to you."
"I understand, general." It's useless to worry about it at this point. Xiao Feng sat in the small car arranged by the military and looked at the view outside the window, and the car drove all the way into the base.
The Yoshuya base is built at the mouth of the Yukon River in Alaska. Only a very small part can be seen from the outside. The base is built underground and almost hollowed out the entire Yukon River's riverbed, so it also has the protection power equivalent to a nuclear bomb shelter. The car drove into a lift and stopped, and the operating lift descended to the ground.
After seeing the light again after a darkness, Xiaofeng couldn't help but make a surprised sound.
The underground was dug up with huge holes, and there were many buildings, which were more like underground cities than military bases!
"This is the first time that General, you are here to 'Joshuya'?" The driver said, "It was a sergeant from a year ago.
Xiaofeng thought the other party was talking to General Bafodo, but she didn't hear Bafodo's response for a long time. She raised her head and found that the officer passing through the backview mirror in the driver's seat was looking at her.
"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't notice that you were talking to me." Xiaofeng realized afterwards that he was now a senior military leader who could be called "God General". "This is the first time I have seen such a large underground city. I don't know how much labor cost."
"Haha, although the earth's resources are in short supply, since this place is the headquarters of the entire Earth's unification, of course it will not be short of this little money. Speaking of which, you are the commander of the Cosmic Army, right? In the past, my volunteers from the army wanted to go to the universe, but I didn't expect to be assigned to the ground service."
Humans may be born with their yearning for the universe, and Xiaofeng can certainly understand it, "It's just that the universe is not that good, and it's inconvenient to do anything in space."
"Yes, there are the monsters in the sky. If it weren't for them, the earth would be much cleaner."
Originally, Xiaofeng, a chatty driver, was quite interested in talking to pass the time, but the other party's words made her smile froze, "...Is it okay to say such words? This 'blue cosmos' argument."
"So what," the young sergeant didn't care. "In the army, the blue cosmos are heroes. Those monsters growing in the universe probably don't understand anything, they just have human appearances. If I found out that day that they suddenly had horns on their heads and their tails stretched out from behind their butts, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
The sergeant laughed as he spoke, probably because he was amused by his own joke. Such a joke that was not funny at all made Xiaofeng and Bafodu look at each other. If the entire grassroots soldiers of the Earth Army had become like this, then the end of the war would be nowhere to be possible.
Unless one side is destroyed...thinking of the group of nuclear bombs that are like a storm and the white light Genesis is chilling.
The car stopped in front of a huge building complex. The soldiers standing guard walked to the window and saluted Xiaofeng and Bafodo in the back seat. "The two generals, the commander and several leaders are waiting for you in the conference room. Please hand over the gun you wear before entering the conference room."
This is also a normal process. For Xiaofeng, the guns he carries with him are indeed just decorations.
As the soldiers leading the way walked into the entire building of the Earth Army headquarters, Xiaofeng was surprised after opening the electronic door in the conference room. What surprised her was not the officer attending, but a man in a suit sitting among them.
