Mid-October 2040.
The Northern military issued a joint statement inviting the Southern resistance forces to join the mission to annihilate the Blue Star 77th Legion.
So far, more than thirty factions have taken on this mission.
The number of people exceeded 100,000, although of course, a large portion of that figure is likely inflated.
After all, life hasn't been very good for everyone since the Blue Star people took over Earth.
Especially due to the scarcity of various supplies, they were no longer able to participate in the battle.
Many people prefer to join the military's logistics department so they can enjoy the same benefits as those in the military and avoid going to the front lines.
Therefore, in many armies, the number of people in the logistics team can be more than twice that of the combat troops.
Looking at these reports, Lu Yuan felt truly helpless.
They have obtained the configuration information of the 77th Legion of the Blue Star people.
With thirty massive troop transport ships and a variety of weapons and equipment, they were practically invincible.
If they can win this battle, the weapons and equipment inside will be enough for them to use for a long time.
However, to defeat this invincible legion, their combined force of 100,000 men would have to face a force of 100,000 Earthlings. Needless to say, the disparity between the two sides was enormous.
Moreover, most of them were living in poverty, barely able to eat or stay warm, and they didn't even have the strength to fight. How could they possibly trade one for one with the Earthlings?
Not to mention the luxurious weaponry of the Blue Star people, and the extremely strong individual combat capabilities of the enemy soldiers. Therefore, this battle left everyone feeling disheartened.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, his eyes tightly closed. He felt his mind was a complete mess.
Qiao Lin stared blankly at the large blackboard.
"Are we really going to use 50,000 troops to fight against this fleet of Earthlings? What makes us think we can win? If we still had that submarine from last time, we might have a chance, but they took it all!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "I don't know! I also feel there's no chance of winning, but this time, the 77th Army Corps must fight, and we must win. If they really block our way north, we'll be sliced into pieces and annihilated by the enemy! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Qiao Lin leaned back in his chair and cursed to himself, "Damn it! When the hell are we going to get rid of these Earthlings? When are they going to go back to their home planet?!"
The scene was completely silent; no one could do anything about it.
After all, the disparity in strength was simply too great; they weren't even adequately prepared with firearms, ammunition, and weapons.
A few days later, everyone was still the same. Fighting was inevitable, but the key was how to fight and how to win.
Even the people in the North didn't have any good ideas.
However, for Lu Yuan, there was some very good news.
The northern side is preparing to send a combat command team leader to assist their joint operation.
Moreover, the other party is of a very high rank. If Lu Yuan can get in touch with them, he might be able to ask them to help investigate his family's affairs.
So, after waiting for about a few days, the special envoy from the North finally arrived.
However, their arrival made everyone in the dungeon feel very uncomfortable.
Inside the conference room.
Everyone stared silently at Special Envoy Zheng Ping, who sat at the head of the table.
The other party was spitting as they went on and on about what everyone needed to do in the upcoming battle.
However, the opponent's fighting methods and positioning had significant flaws.
"We need to build large fortifications and bunkers in this area and the surrounding region to defend against ships coming from the sea!"
Lu Yuan couldn't stand it any longer and stood up, saying, "Commander Zheng, I have a suggestion!"
When the other person heard that Lu Yuan had interrupted him, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face.
"Could you please listen to my speech before you speak?" Zheng looked at Lu Yuan with a displeased expression.
However, Lu Yuan showed no mercy and said directly, "Sorry, I can't listen anymore! First of all, your strategic arrangements are seriously flawed! I want to tell you that on the ground, we have no advantage whatsoever! Also, you plan to have us fight the Blue Star people with large-scale troop deployments? Hahaha, I can only say that you're sending our people to their deaths. I believe no one here will accept your suggestion!"
The crowd below nodded in agreement: "That's right! Lin Hao is right. Anyone with a brain wouldn't come up with such an attack method!"
"Yes, large-scale military operations require a balance of power, but what makes us think we can be evenly matched with the Earthlings? Is it our numbers, our superior weaponry, or the terrain? Please use your brain!"
"Sigh! I really suspect you're an imposter. You're not making any use of our advantages; you just want us to die. Are you a spy from Earth?"
One by one, the crowd mocked each other, and Zheng Ping's face turned from red to purple, and then from purple to black.
"Bang!"
"Enough! Enough! I was sent here by my superiors to complete this mission! Since you've signed the agreement, you must fulfill its terms!"
Zheng Ping was furious and slammed his fist on the table, glaring at everyone.
However, Lu Yuan showed no mercy: "Sorry, but if the higher-ups are sending trash like you, we'd rather withdraw from this battle!"
"That's right! We demand a change of personnel!"
"Yes! We must replace him. We cannot accept someone with no military background commanding us!"
"Damn it! We have to report this to our superiors!"
Everyone left the meeting room in anger.
Finally, only Zheng Ping and a few other special envoys remained in the conference room.
"Bastards! They're all bastards! These people are utterly arrogant! I'm going to file a complaint against them!"
Zheng Ping grabbed his clothes and left the room.
Lu Yuan led everyone to another conference room to discuss the matter.
After all, whether they can wipe out the 77th Army Corps this time and stop the enemy from occupying the north-south passage depends on this one.
However, if they withdraw halfway, and the people of the North take over the 77th Legion, they will never be able to do business with the people of other camps again.
Therefore, after much deliberation, the group passed a resolution once again.
"Lu Yuan, this mission is entrusted to you! I hope you will complete it successfully!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
