"Hell, where is the Polish army?" Once again, with the help of high-altitude battle cruiser artillery to repel the Sijing troops pursuing them, the morale of the E army troops, which had not recovered much, declined again, compared with the tireless Sijing people's combat weapons, few human armies that had just broken through from the chaotic battlefield could still maintain high morale and spirit, not to mention that after the breakthrough, there were still enemies in constant pursuit, constant fighting, continuous casualties, and continuous demoralization.

The E-Army troops have not collapsed until now, and they are already considered elite troops - the vast majority of natural human troops are certainly not comparable to the clones who can die to the last man.

Fortunately, although most of these clone (others don't know) soldiers were only bred in this world, some of the officers were also veterans from another world, and they knew very well what the morale of the natural man troops would be in the face of such a situation, and how they should be treated. What's more, the morale of the armies of the great powers in this world is much stronger than those natural people in their original world, and they don't need to worry too much.

Of course, even if the E Army really collapses, it doesn't have much to do with them. They just need the E Army to help them contain too many Sijing cannon fodder, and the orbital airdrop force of only a few hundred people can't do it with this manpower alone to engage thousands of Sijing people with combat weapons.

"I can't count on the Polish army anymore." The answer to the E-Force officers was the commander of the GDI Orbital Assault Force, a major, Wang Wu, the former commander of the regional armored squadron of the Global Defense Force, who walked up to the E-Force officers and said to them, "The Polish troops who were supposed to come to support are now hugging in the surrounding cities, not moving. Presumably, it was a revolt against the Security Council's disregard for the voice of the Polish Government. ”

Wang Wu was wearing a power armor more than two meters high, and walked into the circle of E people, the huge and burly figure was once again eye-catching, and all the E people couldn't help but take half a step back, and the figure in power armor brought too much pressure to people.

They weren't afraid of Wang Wu, they were just an instinctive self-preservation reaction in the face of a huge object, so after hearing Wang Wu's words, the surviving officers immediately discussed it like a frying pan.

"So it seems that the only reinforcements we can wait for are your people, and our people." Wang Wu shrugged his shoulders and interrupted the "discussion" of the people of country E, "But before they arrive, we all need to hold on a little longer." ”

"It will probably take nearly three hours for our support units to arrive, and they are all ground combat units." The officer of Country E took out the map and gestured, "What about you GDI people?" ”

"It's about this time around the same time." Wang Wu replied, "Although our rapid reaction force is in Poland, it is too scattered, not to mention that it will take time for the troops to regroup and deploy. So......" he paused, pointing in the direction they were withdrawing, "we need to find a suitable place to reposition our defenses for the time being. ”

"But what about the mission?" Although his party was about to be chased into dogs by the Sijing people, some people still raised objections, after all, they didn't come here to destroy those Sijing people's combat weapons, "If the Sijing people take away the things in the factory during this time, then wouldn't we just run away in vain and die so many people in vain?" ”

"Our people will drop earth-shaking bombs in that area," Wang Wu pointed in the direction, "so that the Sijing people can no longer move through the underground tunnels, and then there are warships in the sky to block the airspace, so even if they take something in the factory, although we don't know what it is, they can't take it away." ”

"But what if it's just a piece of data, a digital file or something that's not physical? They just need to be uploaded! ”

Hearing this, Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, he was just an executive officer, and it should be someone from the staff department who considered this kind of thing, but even they didn't take this into account.

"Contact HQ now!" He immediately grabbed the communications soldier who had been following him (the power armor carried the communication module) and whispered, "Tell them right away that there is a serious breach in the plan!" ”

Regardless of the situation of the ground forces, after all, after a certain safe distance from the pursuers of the Sijing people, the starships supporting them can completely provide them with fire support, so that the ground forces do not need to worry about the attack of the Sijing people - provided that the scale does not exceed the ground strike capability of a single battle cruiser, and the Sijing troops also do not have such a thing as morale - for the GDI staff, such a loophole in the battle plan is a serious problem, which will not only lead to the failure of the mission, It can also lead to a series of problems that may arise later.

Of course, the most important thing is how they should remediate the vulnerabilities that may arise now. If what the Sijing people want to seize is really just some data that can be transmitted wirelessly, then how should humans deal with it when they can't interfere with and block their communications.

A tougher view is that no matter how many orbital ion cannons are mobilized, or a group of space fleets are concentrated to carry out orbital bombardment, and the factory is completely wiped out from the face of the earth, anyway, your own troops and friendly forces have already retreated to a safe range, so that no matter what is in the factory, it doesn't matter, and neither side can get it anyway.

Another safe point of view is that if what the Sijing people want is really just some data that can be transmitted wirelessly, and since they have no ability to block the communication of the Sijing people, then it is very likely that the data has been sent away by the Sijing people, and the troops left in the factory at the moment are likely to be just outcasts used to cover up people's ears, in this case, it is better to save the factory, and after re-capturing it, carry out a re-investigation of the factory, and find out what the Sijing people are doing here, and what is the content of the information they sent away- Of course, this is based on the fact that the Sijing people want to get some data, if it is not data but some physical objects, then judging from the current blockade of the surrounding area of the factory by the GDI troops, as long as the Sijing people do not take away those physical objects, they can completely snatch them from the Sijing people.

Naturally, the hardliners were not satisfied with the second view, arguing that it was too much of a waste of time, and that the enemy could simply destroy the site behind the handle, or destroy the physical object before the GDI forces attacked.

The arguments between the two factions were not at odds for a while, and it was impossible to make an immediate decision, and naturally the ground forces were unable to formulate a plan for the battle on the ground, which led to a further waste of time.

In this case, it is natural that a higher-level officer will be required to make the final decision - that is, Lin Hai, as the commander-in-chief of GDI, will make the final decision.

This decision cannot be decided by the Security Council for it - the apparent reason is that the Security Council cannot interfere with the GDI military plan without authorization, but secretly because if something really goes wrong, as long as they do not directly intervene, they will naturally have the blame; What's more, they can't command the descendants of Iron Eagle in the GDI troops.

Only now, a new problem has arisen for them, a bigger problem than the problem of the pharmaceutical plant.

That is, they suddenly couldn't get in touch, and they couldn't find Lin Hai anymore-

As the flagship of the GDI Mobile Command, the Sea Behemoth-class space cruiser "Leviathan" is about to turn into a vegetable market at this time, and all the clones whose work has nothing to do with operating the starship are running around in a panic. The expression on the clone soldier's face, which had always been calm, was now full of nervousness and anxiety, and everyone was wrapped in a feeling of overwhelm.

"Colonel, what the hell is going on?!" On the main screen of the bridge, Brigadier General Towin, who is currently the highest-ranking of the clones, is questioning his old subordinate with an angry face. "Right under your nose, you've lost someone! How the hell do you do things?! ”

"Sir, we're investigating why." Although he was also very nervous and anxious, Colonel Tagate still answered the question of his superiors in a relatively calm manner, "The lieutenant general's shuttle was lost when it briefly lost contact with the flagship when it passed through the black barrier area. I have ordered a search to follow the route they were using at the time, and I am sure that the answer will be available soon. ”

"I need to know not only the answers, but also the process, Colonel." Brigadier General Towin said coldly, "The key is how did you escort the lieutenant general before he lost contact!" Our shuttles are the best in terms of quality and maintenance, so it can't be a mechanical failure that causes the shuttle to crash! His shuttles are according to the rules, even if there is no escort to follow them all the way, you should keep an eye on them until regular communication is restored before being handed over to the ground control center! ”

"Because we were still fighting before, and because we needed more detection channels to monitor the movements of the Sijing fleet, we didn't monitor the whole process under the orders of the vice admiral." Colonel Tagate could only defend himself immediately, "Theoretically, we should have kept at least one observation device to keep an eye on the movements of the shuttle, but in order to guard against the supercarrier, I spent all my energy and equipment on what I thought was more important, which is my rereliction of duty." ”

"Dereliction of duty is certain, Colonel. But now I don't care about this issue, I just want to get the news of the whereabouts of the lieutenant general himself right away! The more accurate, the better! As he spoke, the brigadier on the screen became a little more angry, "I couldn't contact the shuttle after passing through the black barrier area for the specified contact time, have you investigated the reason?" What about the safety signal of the shuttle itself? Can't you trace it? ”

"In fact, that's all we found." "Because we didn't contact the shuttle within the specified time, we immediately mobilized nearby satellites to investigate, and then we took pictures of the debris that had not burned out due to its small size, light weight, and the downward trend." Although I have sent a new shuttle to collect those fragments, I personally believe that they are the fragments from the shuttle that the lieutenant general was on. ”

"That is, the shuttle has fallen?" The Brigadier General's voice immediately became low.
