On November 5, 124th year of the Universe Year, the mother base and all branch bases were making arrangements and training for the Alpha Force in full swing.
On the same day, the highest commander of the United Army, Du Las Vegas (from the Gas Empire), a five-star special general, led his subordinates and some important generals representing various countries to visit the headquarters of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
Du Las Vegas is a five-star general, and he is accompanied by Count Krahu III.
"Count Krahu, I remember that you once came to the home base of the Skywing Mercenary Group. Has a lot of changes been made here?"
When Long Fei's identity was made public, Count Krahu was ordered by the emperor to come and win over Long Fei. The appearance of the mother base at that time has changed a lot compared to now.
The interior design and equipment are more advanced than those of the past, and I feel like I have come to the world of the future.
"General Du Las Vegas, a lot has changed. It is even more advanced than before. I thought that our country has invested so much money in scientists and R&D teams, and that technology has made a lot of progress. I thought we could narrow the gap with the Tianyi Mercenary Group, but what I saw before my eyes is that we are actually further behind them."
"..." Although Du Las Vegas did not speak, he was also hit hard in his heart. Although he obtained a lot of advanced military technology from the Dion Army and studied many of their advanced equipment, it would take him five or ten years to fully master these technologies.
Important generals and their staff from other countries looked at the internal facilities of the mother base with shock, envy and jealousy in their hearts.
Li Jiaming brought several generals and some colonels to welcome the visiting team of the United Army. Li Jiaming also had two colonels, Li Xiucheng and Pan Zhenhua, on his side.
Li Jiaming and Du Las Vegas shook hands and said hello, and introduced their respective entourages to each other.
Du Las Vegas and generals of the same status as him from other major countries looked at Li Xiucheng and Pan Zhenhua. These two were the commanders of Long Fei's direct troops and must have the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
And these two people definitely represent Long Fei.
Li Jiaming's team personally entertained the guests.
There are several generals from other countries in Du Las Vegas, looking at the various Ms and mobile fortresses in the mother base.
The latter can still be seen in other branch bases, but the former, especially the mass-produced Gundams, some styles may only be seen in the mother base.
After the necessary ceremonial reception, everyone came to the negotiation center for discussion.
"Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming, you all know why we are here, even without me telling you."
"Yes, the occupied colonies that you helped the Wanluo Federation recover earlier were attacked in a series of attacks, leaving your coalition forces helpless."
"The United Army is a coalition of many countries. We were originally just helping our allies, but we didn't expect something like that to happen. Although international conventions have established relevant rules, once civilians pick up guns and bombs, they can be regarded as militants and shot dead, but after all, they are civilians of our allies, and they attacked us out of helplessness. Although the country concerned did not make any accusations against us, we still cannot kill the civilians of our allies."
Li Jiaming sneered, "And now you come to us and entrust us to deal with those oppressed people in the Wanluo Federation. Because we have Operation Alpha, and the international convention does not restrict mercenaries, so we are not bound by it, so you want us to do this. You most want us to use Operation Alpha to deal with those oppressed people, and then condemn us, just condemn our Tianyi Mercenary Group. The problem will be solved for you, but we will be the ones who get beaten and scolded. At that time, the Wanluo Federation can also make a series of protests to us. You are making a good plan."
Many people on Du Las Vegas' side looked very embarrassed, especially the generals and Mu Liao from the Wanluo Federation.
Nearly 30% of the soldiers' families in the troops that the Wanluo Federation can mobilize at the moment are held hostage by the Dion Army.
"We don't actually want your mercenary group to use Operation Alpha. In fact, the intelligence we have received is that the mercenary group possesses some advanced technologies, and may even have equipment that can see through the target's body to see if there is a bomb. You should have also watched the live broadcast of that battle, where the bombs in the bodies of local residents were directly detonated, killing many coalition soldiers. I heard that your mercenary group can even block the bomb signal contact in the target's body and prevent the bomb from being detonated." The general of the Wanluo Federation explained.
Li Jiaming nodded and said, "Indeed, we have similar technologies to what you said, but it is still in the experimental stage at the moment. It will take some time to put it into the battlefield."
Everyone in Du Las Vegas suspected that Li Jiaming was fooling them.
Du Las Vegas asked, "I wonder if your mercenary group is willing to accept our commission?"
"At present, if our mercenary group accepts some escort commissions, that's fine, but if you want us to deal with Dion's Second Expeditionary Force, I'm sorry that we can't accept your commission."
"Why?"
"When we accepted your coalition's commission to fight against Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force, our Tianyi Mercenary Group suffered a lot of damage. We are unable to accept another commission of the same intensity."
Du Las Vegas and his group all had the same thought in their minds: "You are fooling us. Although your Tianyi Mercenary Group suffered a lot of damage in the annihilation of Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force, it did not cause your Tianyi Mercenary Group to lose more than 10% overall. I think you want to get more benefits from our United Army."
At this time, a general asked: "Your mercenary group said that they suffered great losses, but as far as we know, the overall damage to your mercenary group is not more than 10%. Your mercenary group should still be able to accept commissions of the same combat intensity, right?"
Lieutenant General Isis explained, "Your Excellencies, please forgive me for correcting you. We are a mercenary group, which is a private armed organization. Your country's army is different. No matter how you say that you have the country to support your operations, we don't. No matter what we say, whether it is funds, personnel or resources, we have to do it ourselves. We have to recruit soldiers and support our own employees. We don't have the support of the country behind us. As you said, we did not suffer more than 10% of the damage, but we also lost a lot of elite troops in that battle. The pensions for the deaths of these elite troops, as well as the excellent mercenaries we spent many years and money to train, we don't know how long it will take to replenish these losses, so I hope you can understand our difficulties."
