Chapter 717 War Prelude (3)
Gathering 100,000 star battleships to participate in a battle is a very difficult operation, but PAJR used its own methods to accomplish this great feat.
Three hours after the Blue River Fleet completed its jump, all fleets from various countries arrived at the preset area. Each fleet was in a state of complete preparation and all fleets were on standby.
Ji Jin's fleet has also set off, but no specific news has been received until now. According to the current situation, they are still choosing the best time to start a war with the Zerg.
At this moment, the fleet of Yang Mu and others can only wait quietly for this moment to arrive.
The fleet in the New Han Star Territory is also dormant in the universe at this moment. All personnel on the ship are on duty. As soon as the battle order is issued, the fleet can quickly go to the designated battlefield, and the various firepower points of the fleet can be deployed on the ship. Start taking advantage of firepower as soon as you arrive on the battlefield.
In the rear maintenance cabin of a star carrier of the New Han Fleet, there is a busy scene at the moment. Logistics soldiers are constantly pushing various war preparation equipment into the preparation area. In the mecha passage in the preparation area, there are There are rows of mechas equipped with line robots assembling weapons. Many mechas are currently sitting in the mechas. The metallic light of the mechas presents a unique war atmosphere of steel.
Shi Mingzheng worked hard to push an ammunition box into the supply truck, and then signaled to the driver of the supply truck that the vehicle left and another vehicle arrived again.
Shi Ming sighed angrily, but he could only control the exoskeleton and twist around to continue carrying the equipment.
Although the ship is already highly mechanized and automated, in order to ensure that each maintenance compartment can replenish ammunition in time and have fast mecha take-off and landing capabilities on the battlefield, there are still a large number of logistics troops here to perform maintenance. .
Of course, once the battle reaches a time when manpower is insufficient, these people will immediately transform into combat forces to provide personnel support for the ship's firepower.
Shi Ming is now doing something that should have been done by a private, but because the captain of the starship was unhappy with a war correspondent like him, his epaulettes were removed, and he became an ordinary soldier. .
These days, Shi Ming had no idea how many times he had greeted the damn captain and the cold and rigid Lieutenant Lieutenant in his heart.
Angrily loading a new supply box into the car, Shi Ming suddenly noticed a group of people passing by not far from the maintenance area. Their attire was very strange, which attracted Shi Ming's attention.
These people were wearing a full set of silver clothes, but the strange thing was that the clothes were very thin and seemed to fit the body very well, and the most peculiar thing was that the clothes were constantly flowing.
That's right, it's flowing. The silver is not the color of fabric at all, but the color of metal.
Seeing this, Shi Ming suddenly realized what this was. This was the standard equipment of the insect-killing mecha master.
After spending these days crawling around in the back cabin, his keen news acumen and endless curiosity about new things made Shi Ming quickly learn that these interstellar carriers actually carry an incredible killer weapon.
Those super-large robots that occasionally appeared in previous battles.
I learned this news from a young star lieutenant who worked as a mechanical maintenance technician in the back cabin. Those super-large robots are called insect-killing mechas. They are special weapons specially developed to fight against the Zerg. And most importantly, this super-large robot Mecha, it seems that only PAJR can build it now.
This is already considered a secret of the military, so it was also the first time Shi Ming heard such news. Shi Ming, who was so excited at the time, wanted to get more information about this thing from the equally young Lieutenant Xing, but this Shao Xing Wei, however, remained silent.
In the next few days, I got close to that person, but I found that the other person was very busy and often had to be called out. However, as I went back and forth, I became familiar with the person.
And he also knew that the other party's name was Lei Hong. He had always been a soldier serving in the Xinhan Star Territory, but his native place was the New Star Territory.
This aroused great interest in Shi Ming. Let’s not talk about why a New Star Territory person would be a low-level officer in a ship in the New Han Star Territory. As long as the New Star Territory is mentioned, the first thing that everyone will think of now is marshal.
Marshal Yang Mu was from the New Star Domain, and what surprised Shi Ming was that this Lei Hong actually came from the same planet as the marshal.
This was the best news material, and Shi Ming wanted to explore it further, but suddenly the battle order from the fleet came down, and he was called to work. He didn't see him for several days. Until now, Shi Ming felt a little regretful.
But just when Shi Ming felt a little depressed, his eyes scanning those wearing manifold armor suddenly stopped, and then his eyes were fixed on the face of one of them.
That was the face he was most familiar with here, the mechanical repairman, the young star lieutenant named Lei Hong.
But why is the opponent in the team of these insect-killing mecha masters, and also wearing this kind of combat uniform.
Shi Ming felt as if thunder flashed in his mind. He immediately put down the work in his hands, and then his body moved with his gaze.
When a fully loaded material transport truck passed by, only an empty mechanical exoskeleton was left where Shi Ming had been standing.
But next to the insect-killing mecha masters who were talking to each other, there was another figure.
"Lei Hong? I'm Shi Ming, do you recognize me?"
Lei Hong was making final confirmation of the things on the control panel in his hand, but suddenly he heard a voice beside him. Lei Hong raised his head and saw an excited soldier. Lei Hong was stunned for a moment, and finally Come to your senses.
"Are you Shi Ming, the war correspondent?"
When Shi Ming saw Lei Hong recognized him, he was very excited and nodded repeatedly. Lei Hong just smiled awkwardly, but Shi Ming ignored it and immediately turned on the holographic recorder and asked Lei Hong.
"Lei Hong, right? I want to know why you also became a mecha master. Aren't you a mechanical repairman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another mecha master next to him entered the camera. He looked at Shi Ming and then spoke.
"What kind of mechanical repairman? Lei Hong has long been the mecha master of our insect-killing mecha regiment. Repairing mechas is just a hobby."
As the man said this, Shi Ming became more interested in Lei Hong. He followed Lei Hong closely and asked Lei Hong.
"Lieutenant Lei Hong, I am a war correspondent sent by the Propaganda Department of the Military Ministry. I hope to conduct a brief visit here to record your mood before the war begins."
Lei Hong looked a little embarrassed when he heard what Shi Ming said. He just said a few perfunctory words to get rid of Shi Ming.
"Reporter Shi, I know what you want to ask. There is nothing to say. This is the Great Patriotic War, and every soldier is filled with energy."
But this is not what Shi Ming wants to know. Shi Ming wants to get something more newsy from this person, that is, whether super large mechas can defeat these bugs.
Shi Ming asked this question, but unexpectedly Lei Hong was stunned for a moment.
Shi Ming's eyes flashed, knowing that he had asked an important question. He was looking forward to Lei Hong's answer, but he saw Lei Hong suddenly lowered his head, and then shook his head dejectedly.
"I don't know either."
"Why? Isn't such a weapon very powerful? And it is specially designed to fight against the Zerg. It should be the key to victory." Shi Ming asked excitedly, but Lei Hong suddenly looked at the opponent and recorded the holographic record in the opponent's hand. instrument is turned off.
"Reporter Shi, I know what good news you want to know, but I also tell you that this weapon is not the key to victory. In the final analysis, this weapon is actually a product of mankind's last resort."
"This thing is essentially a suicide bomb."
"Bomb? Impossible. This is a super weapon designed by Marshal Yang Mu. How could it be that you were sent to die? And since you know it, why are you still driving them?" Shi Ming said incredulously, but this At this time, an alarm sounded in the maintenance area, and orders began to pop up on everyone's military terminals. The battle across the entire fleet had reached level one combat status.
Lei Hong stopped talking and walked away immediately. Shi Ming wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by others. At this time, a mecha master turned his head and looked at Shi Ming with some contempt.
"Reporter, don't be surprised. Even if this thing is a bomb, we still dare to go up."
"Is it because this weapon can help humans defeat the Zerg?" Shi Ming asked quickly, but the mecha master turned around and said.
"Not entirely. If I want to talk about personal reasons, it's because the marshal's brother will also be driving this mecha. What reason do we have to retreat?"
"Marshal's brother?" Shi Ming was a little confused, but his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the tall figure that was already a little blurry in front of him.
