The new 17th Division was on the brink of a mutiny. The new 17th Division was preparing for a mutiny.
This ace division with a glorious military history had inherited the undisciplined and ruthless style left behind by their predecessors. They were used to shielding their own, good at external battles, and good at internal strife. When there was a need to abide by military discipline, they were the role models of strict military discipline. On the battlefield of life and death, they often forgot about military discipline out of habit.
If they had only focused on discipline, their old teacher Li Pifu would not have been able to lead them to such a shocking achievement. If their hands and feet could be easily bound by the word discipline, Yu Chenghai would not have been able to protect so many members of Group 7 three years ago. Furthermore, during the three years when Du Shaoqing had been commander-in-chief, they had still been as strong and fierce as ever.
When the soldiers of the division found out that their comrades had been inexplicably accused of mutiny and then hunted down by the base and that damned joint investigation department, there was no way they could remain calm and wait patiently like little white rabbits for the final result. Their reaction was very direct.
Under the cloud of conspiracy hanging over the base, all levels of officers of the 17th Division began to secretly mobilize their forces with the theme of defending against a surprise attack. In the armory at night, the sound of the hundred or so heavy MX mecha self-checks could be faintly heard.
If the upper echelons of the Federal military could not give a convincing explanation, if that damned joint investigation department did not hand over the culprits who had hunted down team NTR, if they could not make the more than ten thousand soldiers of the new 17th Division feel good, then what would happen next around the base was something that no one, including Lieutenant General Hu Lian, could imagine.
He Lei was escorted back to the headquarters of the new 17th Division by the military police. His face was ashen as he looked at his subordinates around the table. After a moment of silence, he said, "This is the frontlines. Do you want the 17th Division to be the first unit in history to rebel on the frontlines?"
"We are not rebelling."
The new 17th Division's mecha commander, Hua Xiaosi, looked at him with a serious expression and said, "We need to put enough pressure on the base. Otherwise, I cannot imagine how many more days Xiong Linquan and those fellows can hold out."
Lin Ai frowned at He Lei and said, "What exactly happened in the command room? Why is Division Commander's expression so ugly?"
"I have already been officially suspended from duty." He Lei looked at the group of senior military officers in the room and said, "But I have to warn all of you. Stop all troop movements immediately. Otherwise, no one will be able to bear the consequences once the headquarters determines that there is a mutiny."
Hua Xiaosi silently pulled the trigger and said, "It's not a mutiny attempt. If this matter can't be resolved, so what if there really is a mutiny!"
He raised his head and looked at He Lei with a cold gaze. "It's not that I want to criticize you, but you're really too soft. If the instructor was the commander now, would he watch as our soldiers were slaughtered like rabbits? If he was the one who went to the base to negotiate, do you think he would have pulled out a gun and placed it on Hu Lian's table like you did? No, he'll just shoot that old b * stard! "
He Lei looked out of the door and his gaze fell on the military police. He lowered his head and looked at his junk box. He laughed at himself and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiong Linquan and the rest are with the instructor now. This is why the headquarters is chasing after them."
The room suddenly fell silent. Mishelieu, who had just arrived last night, asked with a livid expression, "Is the news confirmed?"
He Lei picked up his junk box and walked out of the door. From today onwards, he was no longer the commander of the 17th Division, but a criminal officer who had been imprisoned. When he reached the threshold, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the crowd sternly.
"After I leave, none of you are allowed to act rashly. The 4th and 13th Divisions have completed their mobilization last night. It's obvious that they are targeting our division. Also, I have to remind all of you that regardless of whether this is a conspiracy or a purge, if there really is a mutiny, those big shots in the capital ring will righteously get rid of all of us."
In the dim room, Director Bailey of the Joint Investigation Department looked at the back of the figure by the window with a smile, secretly pondering the true thoughts in the general's mind.
"The mobilization of the troops has been completed. No matter what the new 17th Division wants to do, they won't be able to do anything new. Also, I think you must really want them to be a little more impulsive. To deal with the troops left behind by Lord War God without an absolutely correct excuse is indeed a kind of trouble."
Lieutenant General Hu Lian turned around and said slowly with an expressionless face, "Lord War God's ever-victorious division is now under the control of a bunch of impulsive idiots. This is a great humiliation to the Federation. I won't deny that I really want to use this opportunity to complete a purge."
After a short pause, he looked at Director Bailey and said mockingly, "But do you really think I'm stupid enough to cause a mutiny in the troops? When the time comes, neither you nor I will be able to bear the responsibility."
Director Bailey did not respond to the general's mockery. The smile on his face gradually faded as he said in a serious tone, "That spaceship has been trying to escape the surveillance and enter the atmosphere. It's obvious that it wants to help the rebel army leave."
"Which side does that spaceship belong to?"
"We haven't been able to capture a reliable image, but it definitely can't be an Empire spaceship." Director Bailey shrugged and said, "It's probably that strange spaceship that ran amok in S1 three years ago. Only that strange spaceship could have such terrifying speed."
Lieutenant General Hu Lian walked to the side of the table with a serious expression. Looking at the blinding red arc on the electronic map, he was silent for a moment before saying, "These people were able to break through here. This is beyond my expectations, but they must die … Colonel Li Feng and his mecha clan are currently retreating from the straits battle zone. They are closest to the highlands."
Director Bailey understood what he meant and raised an objection with a frown. "No one will doubt Colonel Li Feng's ability, but the problem is his personal relationship with Xu Le. Will there be any problems?"
Lieutenant General Hu Lian took off his military cap and stroked his white hair. "As far as I know, Colonel Li Feng once made a promise to Commander Shaoqing. He will not let Xu Le go."
Director Bailey smiled slightly. He thought that since that promise was only between Du Shaoqing and Li Feng, then you must have received guidance from Chairman Lee Jae-do to know about it. Naturally, he would not point this out. His gaze shifted slightly for a moment, and then he suddenly asked, "Regarding the continuous earthquakes on the Biji Plateau, I wonder if the commander has any opinion? According to the Bureau of Proclamation's surveillance, deep underground, it seems …"
Before he could finish, he was cut off by a pair of cold eyes. Lieutenant General Hu Lian stared at him coldly, not bothering to hide the threat and cold-bloodedness in his words. "Investigate what you should, but don't ask about what you shouldn't. Don't forget, this is the frontline, a place where stray bullets fly everywhere."
Director Bailey's heart clenched. He knew that he had stepped into an area that he definitely should not have, so he immediately shut his mouth. In order not to become the highest ranking official of the Federation to die from stray bullets, he would not mention anything related to earthquakes until the day he died.
…
…
Perhaps it was July on Mo Hua Planet. The sky was burning.
In the early morning, a heavy object that looked like a meteorite came from the deep universe and crashed into the atmosphere that surrounded the planet. It whistled and tore apart the air that was getting thicker and thicker, leaving behind a dazzling trail of fire. Then, it turned into a white pillar of smoke and fell on the horizon.
The surveillance network of the Imperium military had noticed this meteorite. The Federal Fleet had already calculated the falling trajectory of this meteorite seven minutes ago. However, this meteorite fell on the Golan Highland on the side of the Biji Plateau, which was far away from the Federal forces' garrison. The electromagnetic aftershocks after the earthquake seriously hindered the movement of the Air Force.
On this barren land, two troops saw the meteorite falling from the sky from a viewing range of forty kilometers. Then, they did not have the time to appreciate this strange astronomical phenomenon. They both silently sped up their speed.
The lone troops that left the valley in the middle of the night and headed towards the Golan Highland saw the trail of fire with their own eyes. Although they were exhausted and in extreme pain, they seemed to have swallowed a few large cups of stimulants. Their chest and abdomen burned, and their strength returned to their legs once again.
A certain Mecha Battalion of the Federation that had retreated from the battle zone of the straits and had continuously marched for two days looked at the dust and smoke stirred up by the meteorite falling from the sky. It was as if they could hear the passionate sound of war drums. The heavy Mecha engine roared again.
Half an hour later, both parties arrived at the place where the meteorite fell almost at the same time.
The charred surface of the meteorite had already peeled off, revealing the metallic structure of the spaceship inside. The cabin door had already opened automatically, ready to welcome a group of escapees.
The lone soldier climbed over a gentle slope with great difficulty and stepped through thick bushes. When he saw this scene, he did not feel the slightest bit lucky that he had escaped alive, nor did he feel any ecstasy.
This was because they saw seventeen pure black Federation MX military mechas, under the leadership of a simple-looking but murderous mecha, had already climbed over the opposite mountain and appeared on the other side of the meteorite spaceship.
The eighteen Federation MX mechas formed a semi-circular encirclement. The center of the encirclement was where the meteorite fell. On the other hand, the lone troops only had seven or eight people, more than ten guns, two makeshift stretchers, and one broken mecha. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. It was so great that there was no need to fight at all.
At the edge of the bushes, the broken giant mecha shook its exaggerated but useless construction arm. It seemed to be greeting the Federation mechas, but also seemed to be surrendering.
Xiong Linquan held the heavy gun in his hand cautiously and looked at the imposing military mechas a few hundred meters away. Then, he silently looked at the back of the only broken mecha on his side. He raised his arm lightly and ordered his team members to carry the stretcher and retreat behind the bushes.
In the mecha battle that was about to happen, they would not be of any use. Besides, last night, Xu Le had promised them that he would deal with this situation.
As Xiong Linquan and the others retreated behind the bushes, the engines on the backs of the seventeen black MX mecha suddenly roared to life as they prepared to move. However, right at that moment, that battered assembled mecha smashed down with that thick construction arm!
People had names, trees had shadows. Just like how the lone troops and those few Empire people had fallen into despair when they heard Madman Li's name, these Federation mecha were also abnormally nervous at this time. Following the movements of that broken mecha, they subconsciously stopped in their tracks and got into their most perfect and most extreme defensive positions.
Although they were facing a broken assembled mecha, they were facing a broken assembled mecha.
