Chapter 554: Taking an Unconventional Approach
Inside the THA30 interstellar spaceship.
Bu Yan's eyes would secretly glance at Yun Mo every half a minute. Although Lambert's expression was not so obvious, his eyelids twitched from time to time. He wanted to say something but held it back.
This time, the main force of the base was dispatched and secretly deployed around Gu Ganxing to provide support.
More than one hundred commandos, led by Yun Mo, set off on this aircraft carrier.
Luo Mu did a good job of keeping the secret, but with the main force deployed, it was impossible to completely cover up such a big event.
Sun Yangbo had already heard the news through various channels and immediately took on the mission role - stationed in the space fortress and monitoring the movements of the Alpha Legion. This was probably the place farthest away from the smoke of war on this trip.
An S-level mission with a bunch of new recruits seemed like a complete mess.
However, Luo Mu did not object, and Yu Anqi acquiesced. Even if others wanted to say something, they did not have the position or status to do so.
There were no signs of the selection of soldiers beforehand.
On a hot afternoon, all the recruits were taken to an open square for assessment.
Everyone has long been accustomed to being exploited.
Their daily life is filled with physical training, shooting training, various off-road and combat training... countless trainings that can push their physical strength to the extreme.
And assessment is naturally one of the routine tasks.
Huo Chuan frowned.
For him, the cultural subject exams every Wednesday are like visiting a grave.
And today is Wednesday again.
At Shen Te Ma's base, why did a single soldier need to learn Ohms's law, electromagnetic theory, and trajectory curves?
He just wants to be a simple-minded soldier!
The wailing sounds spread all over the place, but could not stop the exam from starting.
Cheating is allowed as long as you can escape the eyes of the instructors and monitors.
In the open wilderness, each person only has a small table in front of them. How can they cheat?
Facts have proven that when pushed into desperate situations, humans can burst out with unimaginable creativity and imagination.
There were buzzing surveillance bugs flying around. Everyone took off their shirts and threw them away, and one of them was covered with a bug. The instructor was strolling in the queue and didn't pay any attention.
A white back was leaning over the table, filling out multiple-choice questions.
Today, the robot was extra diligent, mowing the newly grown blades of grass on the lawn, giving off the unique aroma of grass and soil. Young blades of grass lay scattered on the ground.
After submitting the answer one hour later, the port will be closed.
Huo Chuan immediately stood up, shook his legs, and walked towards the queue calmly.
An instructor stopped at the spot where he had sat before and kicked the ground a few times, making the grass and leaves messy.
The instructor picked up a heart-shaped green leaf with the back of his foot. Faint words were faintly visible on it, but they were slowly disappearing under the scorching sun.
The instructor curled his lips and smiled.
Expensive, right? Print the answers on the grass blades in this area, and they'll dissipate over time as the plants function...
However, the instructor did not say anything.
Among the one thousand people who passed the assessment, Luo Mu will first screen them, and Yun Mo will make the final decision.
Not everyone is willing and suitable to carry out S-level missions. The military has a complete set of judgment criteria and will respect the soldiers' choices.
Those who received the list were more excited than anxious.
Most of them had participated in the federal military exercise and had dominated the Midwestern theater with her.
What's more, he dared to slap Xiao Feng in the face...
The name Yunmo is a golden bug.
In terms of intelligence, he is no less capable than Randy in a head-on confrontation than the old fox.
As for calculations, they couldn't have carried out the layers of traps set in the just-concluded exercise.
Talking about luck? I heard she can tell...
Therefore, there is an indescribable sense of security when going on a mission with this person.
Liu Yueban and Allen were unhappy because they were left behind.
Instead, Bu Yan and Lambert appeared, both of them also with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Why?!" Allen pounded his thigh. "My leg is fine. The one who got hurt was me during the drill, not me today! Even if I were really lame, I could move Wolfe with a crutch."
Liu Yueban also circled around Yun Mo. "This is unreasonable. Have you forgotten? I'm a surprise attack, a man who can turn the tables at the critical moment!"
Yun Mo only gave a one-sentence explanation: "The departure date has been set, and your horoscopes are incompatible."
Liu Yueban: ...Damn, this reason is extremely powerful.
The atmosphere on the aircraft carrier remained tense and quiet, with the soldiers checking their equipment and making various preparations in an orderly manner.
Luo Mu sat at the control console, a huge three-dimensional simulation image rolling on the sand table. It was a star navigation map.
Yun Mo walked over and sat next to him: "Actually, I have always had a doubt."
Luo Mu didn't move, but glanced to the right: "What's the doubt?"
"There are many ways to reach Gugan Star, such as smuggling or diplomatic means. Why must we do it by airborne?" Yun Mo asked.
"There are many reasons."
"For example?" Yun Mo asked.
"Insider, leaks, diplomatic crisis..."
Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and continued, "The matter on Gugan Star is not simple. The more nodes there are, the more coordination is required, the more departments and agencies are involved, and the greater the probability of mistakes."
Yunmo understood.
Therefore, he was trying to shorten his journey as much as possible and not leave any traces at the mission nodes in order to minimize the threat to his own side.
That is to say, at this moment, no one knows their location and actions except themselves.
The star road rolled and passed by a small satellite with a halo. Luo Mu's expression became solemn.
Yu Anqi has already made arrangements here.
This is a small satellite filled with hydrogen and nitrogen, and is not suitable for survival.
However, this satellite, with an area of 130 standard units, is a very sensitive planet.
Its three sides are the South Space Fortress, West Space Fortress and Central Space Fortress in the East Mali War Zone, which together with "Cenereus" form a perfect and mutually echoing strategic location.
If they evacuate, this is the best rendezvous point. Taking control of this place will be a huge guarantee for their safe escape.
However, three minutes ago, a message reached his intelligent brain.
Luo Mu keenly noticed that there was an unusual movement on the star Heming to the north of "Ceneme".
It was not a big conflict, but a dispute between the shuttle from Heming Star and the merchants of the Federation. The other party had a strong attitude and a warship appeared to seize the Federation's aircraft carrier.
It is said that the most successful thing during President Krishi's tenure was to appease He Mingxing. This kind of conflict has happened before, but the other party's attitude this time was somewhat ambiguous.
Neither retreat nor advance is a stalemate.
Luo Mu had reason to suspect that He Mingxing had set his sights on Alpha again, which was not a good thing.
Yun Mo was also looking at the small satellite.
The federal information system is very comprehensive, and you can see a detailed relationship diagram by clicking on it.
When dense information pops up, it would take an ordinary person a long time to digest it, making them dizzy and confused.
However, for those who are prepared, it is relatively easy to do.
"Colonel Luo, you are worried, is there something wrong?"
"Gu Weisan, I'm worried it's not safe." Luo Mu answered briefly.
Yun Mo zoomed out of the star map to look at the overall picture, and his eyes fixed on the red-marked Heming Star.
"Will they cause trouble?"
"I'm not sure. The timing was too coincidental. There was no consensus on the matter. It would be a good excuse to create a conflict." Luo Mu frowned and said.
Yun Mo's eyes flickered. Indeed, the person was in their hands. If he was fine, they would let him go. If they wanted to make a big fuss, they would create a bloody scene.
And what if it gets out of hand?
There are some flaws in the identity of who the small satellite Cereus belongs to.
He Mingxing has always claimed that it belongs to them, and temporarily turned a blind eye to the federal garrison. Firstly, they cannot defeat them, and secondly, the federal government has given them benefits.
So what now?
If something really breaks out here, it will have a ripple effect on the entire system, and their mission may fail.
"Who is handling this matter?" Yun Mo asked.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Luo Mu said, "has warned them, but the matter is minor. The two sides haven't fallen out yet, so it's not easy to escalate to a military confrontation."
The implication is that the Federation has no reason to send more troops to the front lines and increase the tension of the situation.
What if something happens and this time difference causes an impact on Ceresmede?
This is a hidden danger that must be eliminated.
Luo Mu has reported his suspicions and demands, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still dealing with them and there is no quick solution for the time being.
Yun Mo flipped through the information on He Mingxing, stroking his chin and pondering, "Is He Mingxing an agricultural planet?"
The main product is a kind of Ram fruit, which can be eaten and can also be refined and used for industrial purposes after textile production.
This C-class star is weak, poor, weak, and restless, so no planet is interested in it.
Because the pillar industry is Ram fruit, the profit is very thin.
Luo Mu's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Yun Mo: "That's right."
Yunmo pointed to the nearby Khaki Star and said, "I remember that Ram fruit is also grown here."
"Haha," Luo Mu's mouth corners curled up.
"Haha," he couldn't help but slap the table, "You are so cunning!"
Yunmo: ...
Ten minutes later, StarNet interrupted with a news report.
The Federal Minister of Agriculture said at the gathering: "The ram fruit from Khaki is ripe and tastes better than those from Heming..."
Politicians always have a keen sense of smell. This not-so-eye-catching piece of news was immediately obtained and analyzed by the leadership group of Heming Star.
"What does Federation mean?" asked the Prime Minister.
The Minister of Agriculture was sweating profusely: "It was just an informal occasion, just a casual remark."
The Prime Minister's expression was serious. "You're just saying that at this time? Do you think I'm a fool?"
The Minister of Agriculture was extremely anxious: "Ram fruit has a short shelf life, and we don't have an industry that can convert it locally. If the Federation really switches to importing from Khaki, then this year..."
"Go negotiate!" said the Prime Minister with a throbbing heart.
He thought that by seizing the Federation's aircraft carrier and with Alpha's support, he could maneuver between the two factions and gain the greatest benefit.
However, he forgot that the Federation was his largest importer of Ram fruit.
