In fact, as long as the operation is done properly, Li Bai has a great chance of success.
Because she was well-known and held a high position in the military of Hope Star, and indeed of Earth as a whole, once the time was right, it would be much easier for her to take over these troops than for other lesser-known generals.
It can even be said that even if a major general came, he could not do better than her.
After all, even a major general has a nationality and a stance, but here are the armies of three districts gathered.
But the prerequisite is to be able to deal with those guys who are in the way first. And to achieve this, Li Bai alone is definitely not enough.
Li Bai's plan was to win over some and fight the rest. Most of the troops belonging to the Chinese region could be won over. After all, while those sent here were the elite of the elite, the vast majority of them hadn't fared well on Earth.
After all, Earth had enjoyed centuries of peace, and those with real power rarely had the courage to venture forth. The dangers of outer space were undeniable, and most of those sent out to spearhead the charge were mere cannon fodder.
After all, Hope Star, while important, remains a barren land despite its pleasant environment. There's no entertainment or recreation, and life is incredibly difficult in every way. Furthermore, it's under military rule. How could those pampered young men and women be willing to come and endure this hardship?
Comparing this with the people in the real game, the result is obvious. The people in charge of the guilds in the game are generally the direct descendants of powerful families, because there is no danger in the game, but the benefits of control are not few.
As for the troops stationed here, it is rare to have descendants of collateral branches, and most of them were squeezed out because they were not doing well on Earth.
Li Bai knew very well what she was going to do next, so for her, gathering these people was the best choice.
After careful consideration, Li Bai did not rush into action. On the contrary, while others were holding back, Li Bai was asking for battle every day.
Under the current circumstances, Li Bai was naturally temporarily transferred, from a commander without troops to a small team leader with hundreds of men under her command. So she led her men to patrol the base every day, and she would go into battle once a day, bringing back a large number of beast carcasses.
While the Earth Alliance would certainly not abandon Star Hope and was continuously sending supplies and troops there, the vast distance meant that this was bound to be a very lengthy process. The base's reserves were limited, and with so many people crammed in, food became the biggest problem. They could only resort to hunting wild animals daily.
At the same time, these beasts can also be provided to research institutes for research.
With Li Bai as a contrast, the other armies could no longer remain idle. Thus, every day, seven teams took turns going out to strangle the beasts, which not only deterred the beasts outside but also provided supplies. For a time, a delicate balance was formed, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
However, everyone can see that the number of beasts outside the city is gradually increasing, and the soldiers who leave the base for patrol cannot be without losses. After each army goes out, there will be a dozen fewer people when they come back.
If they continue to consume at this rate, they will soon be short of manpower and it will be only a matter of time before their base is destroyed.
So everyone placed their hopes on reinforcements from Earth.
On that day, news reached Hope Star that the nearby warship was arriving for support. Upon receiving this good news, everyone on Hope Star, already on edge from days of continuous fighting, erupted in ecstasy. If it weren't for the hordes of wild beasts surrounding them, they might have even thrown a grand celebration.
Even so, everyone had a happy smile on their face.
The warship's payload capacity was naturally far greater than that of an ordinary spacecraft. Furthermore, it carried numerous weapons that were unavailable to the Hope Star Base. With this kind of support, there was hope of defeating these beasts.
This news disappointed Li Bai somewhat. After all, her plan hadn't even been implemented before such a change occurred. However, she quickly calmed down. After all, the Hope Star Base was currently in danger, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to deal with it after seizing leadership. So, if a peaceful resolution could be achieved, even if the opportunity was missed, it wouldn't matter; there would always be another opportunity in the future.
However, because the warship was still some distance away, it would take time for it to arrive. During this time, after the initial euphoria faded, the atmosphere on Hope Star was undergoing a very subtle change. Beyond the mainstream jubilation, other emotions were brewing.
Because this warship stationed near Hope Star belongs to the Chinese region.
Hope Star is so important that all three regions have warships patrolling and protecting it. Furthermore, there are many resource stars nearby that also require protection. However, the Chinese region's warships are the closest. Therefore, upon receiving the news, they rushed to support the area the fastest.
In this way, the concerns about the safety of the base were temporarily put aside, and people in the European and American regions could not help but feel worried.
If the Chinese region could turn the tide and eliminate these beasts this time, their influence on Hope Star would naturally be much greater than before. So, even if their lives still depended on being rescued, since there was no immediate danger, they didn't want to see that happen.
It’s just that these undercurrents have been suppressed for the time being and have not erupted.
The next day, warships appeared over Star Hope.
This was a beautiful alien warship, loaded with all the most advanced weapons and equipment currently developed by Earth technology. It looked majestic. When it moved directly above the base, everyone in the base could not help but look up at it.
"This is China, calling Hope Star Base."
The two sides quickly established communication and discussed the current battle situation. However, at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, what is that?!"
Li Bai was also looking up at the Huaxia. Its captain, also surnamed Li, was an uncle of hers, though she had never met him. She didn't hear the first cry of surprise, but soon, more than one person cried out, and the cry became a continuous one, immediately making the entire base noisy.
Li Bai ignored the noise, stared at the sky, and couldn't help but stand up.
Within the range of visible vision, a small black dot appeared first, and then one after another, densely packed black dots appeared in the field of vision, and came towards the base at an extremely fast speed.
Li Bai turned his head and looked in other directions, and found that there were such black spots moving towards this side from all directions.
She quickly determined what those black spots were. They were birds from the planet Hope.
There were so many of these birds that when they flew in groups, they seemed to block out the sun. In fact, as they approached, the light above the base suddenly dimmed.
Upon discovering this situation, the China, which was originally anchored above Star Hope, restarted almost immediately, suddenly took off before being surrounded by these birds, and then fled in a panic.
But those flying birds had not given up yet. They also took off and chased after the Huaxia.
Looking from the ground, you can see all the flying birds forming a very thick black line, rising up into the clouds.
Everyone watching this scene was stunned.
However, they soon stopped caring about the changes happening in the sky because the guards discovered that the beasts outside the base, which had been confronting the humans and entering the palace every day but whose offensive was not strong, began to make noise again, which looked like the prelude to an attack.
Li Bai also noticed this. She also discovered that this was not a simple attack. The beasts outside seemed to be mobilizing to stand forward, and almost all the beasts within her sight showed unusual movements.
In other words, this is an all-out attack!
The previous small-scale harassment tactics had nearly broken the Hope Star base. Even more so now? Upon discovering this, the entire Hope Star was plunged into chaos.
Although there were more and more animals outside, everyone had guessed that this battle would come sooner or later, but no one expected that it would come at such a time and in such an unpredictable way.
The sight of the warships being chased away by birds was so shocking that most of them were on the verge of collapse when they realized that the reinforcements had left and they had to face a powerful enemy. If there had been no so-called "reinforcements", they might have been able to grit their teeth and persevere, but now, after having hope and then being dashed, they could not accept it.
So although the base immediately began to organize preparations for war, many people acted as if they were sleepwalking.
In such chaos, Li Bai was keenly aware that the opportunity he had been waiting for suddenly appeared.
She took a deep breath, gathered her thoughts, and began organizing her men for battle. Then she pulled out her communicator and contacted Dean Zhou Hong, the head of the Chinese region at the base.
"Major Li, what's the problem?" Zhou Hong's expression was clearly grim. While others were only concerned about themselves, he was even more devastated by the impending destruction of the base he had built. This was a loss that the entire human race could not afford!
Li Bai didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Dean Zhou, the current situation is so chaotic. I'm afraid we have to be on guard against some people taking advantage of the chaos to escape!"
Zhou Hong's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Of course, the base did have spaceships, though they were few and far between, and all small. It was precisely because of this that no one had considered evacuation before. Not only would it be impossible to accommodate so many people, but the necessary experimental equipment and data would also be impossible to take with them.
If the warship was still there, it would be possible to retreat to it, but now it is not necessary to do so.
However, a few small spaceships are enough for some people who are afraid of death and retreat at the last minute!
