Chapter 242 Is the county magistrate of Goose City also a bandit? Maluo's life is also

Chapter 242 Is the county magistrate of Goose City also a bandit? Maluo's life is also a life!

The scale of the expeditionary force sent by V to suppress the rebellion this time is not actually large.

At least compared with the 004 Universe Expeditionary Force that Li Ang is currently forming, it is simply a dwarf compared to a giant.

However, although the scale of this expeditionary force is not large, it does not mean that the importance of this rebellion mission is not high.

This war, including a series of appeasement treatments, is a great test of V's political height.

War is always a continuation of politics.

Fighting is only a means, not an end.

V decided to personally lead the expedition this time, not only to deter the villains of the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe.

It is also to investigate and understand the rebellion incident and make appropriate decisions.

Therefore, before V officially set out, he had automatically entrusted most of the affairs of the 003 Universe Solar System to AI Europa.

If an emergency occurs in the 003 solar system, AI Europa will first notify Li Ang at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, and then send a timely warning to V through the superluminal device.

Although the rebels in the Universal Trade Circle that need to be conquered and attacked this time are not of high civilization level, and the fleet strength is relatively backward.

But no matter what, the other party is also a serious space civilization, and it is still necessary to give due combat respect.

At this moment, in the command cabin of the Infinity-class flagship.

"Report to the Governor, our ground forces have completed the boarding procedure. It is expected that the entire fleet will be able to make a space jump in 40 minutes."

"In addition, the investigators who have rushed to the rebel planet have sent back the latest intelligence information, and the specific content has been sent to you."

"Finally, other civilization members of the Universal Giant Enterprise Trade Circle have also expressed their willingness to send troops to help us encircle and suppress the rebel civilization."

"So the situation is quite favorable for us in this counter-insurgency operation!"

"..."

A civilian officer presented his own holographic image in front of the central console, and quickly and clearly passed the key information to Governor V.

And the Primaris V, wearing power armor, remained silent throughout the whole process, staring at the real-time information and data on the screen without saying a word.

After the officer finished reporting, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I know, if there is any emergency, report to me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After the voice fell, the officer dissipated the holographic image and continued to work on his work.

In order to maintain high efficiency as much as possible, the staff in the entire command cabin will explain the matter and the situation in just a few words during the conversation.

After taking a look at the employees below, V immediately raised his hand to open the holographic screen on the center console and checked the intelligence and data summary sent by the front-line investigators.

Immediately, a three-dimensional thumbnail image appeared in front of V. This image, which was completely reproduced in proportion to the planet where the rebels were located, clearly showed the enemy's environment.

Unlike what V imagined, this planet is not prosperous. A large number of factory areas have made the land on the planet extremely dry and desertified.

One steel city after another has made the entire planet cramped, and the dirty waste discharged from the factory has polluted the environment of the planet extremely badly.

Obviously, the civilized species here have caused their home planet to be on the verge of collapse and the edge of destruction due to unrestrained squandering and wanton exploitation of resources.

Combined with the truth found out by the investigators, V has a comprehensive understanding of this rebellion!

The civilization that rebelled this time was called "Latuwu". The internal high-level officials of the civilization seized power. Originally, this was just a necessary link in the ordinary power transition.

It was no big deal.

But the bad thing was that the high-level officials of one side actually instigated the lower-level people to crush their competitors together.

But when it was time to sit in a row and divide the fruits, the high-level officials wanted to regret it, which angered the lower-level people who worked hard for them.

Since you don't give it, then we will take it ourselves!

In this way, this group of angry lower-level people simply launched a rebellion, went to Liangshan, seized the bird position, and also robbed the "birthday gift" on the universe trade line.

As for the high-level officials who didn't keep their words, they came with a set of the King of Hell package of the Nine Clans Elimination Game, and only a very small number of high-level members escaped on the airship.

Look, the first thing the lackeys did after being bullied was to ask Big Brother for help and reinforcements.

The whole process of the rebellion is simple, but it is also complicated, because it involves not only the Latuwu civilization.

There are also other members of the Universal Trade Circle!

No matter which side V is pointing his gun at, it is not reasonable.

If it is to help the high-ranking officials of Latuwu, then the lower-level people will have something to say.

Damn it, we risked our lives to help you kill your competitors and overthrow the rule of the previous tyrant.

Isn't it just to get a step up and give yourself a pretty good class status?

In the end, not only did you not give it to us, you also asked the neighbor Lao Wang to beat us together. Do you have any shame? !

If you have the ability, you should kill all the lower-level people of the entire Latuwu civilization, otherwise this matter will never end.

Seeing this situation, the lower-level people of other civilizations may panic and worry that such a thing will happen to them.

No one can predict what kind of chaos will happen by then.

But if it is the lower-level rebels who are helping Latuwu, then the powerful and high-ranking officials will also have something to say.

Wow!

You're the big brother, why don't you stand up for the little brother who got beaten, and why do you turn around and help others!

Aren’t we here to suppress bandits? Why the hell are you in the same group with the gangs? I bet the county magistrate of Goose City is also a bandit, right?

Okay, since the big brother can't handle this bowl of water, then we will all go behind your back and secretly do business in another trading circle, and we won't play with you anymore.

Although the strength of the giant companies in the world can completely suppress the dissatisfaction of these members of the trading circle, this will definitely increase the cost of Li Ang's rule.

The good operation of a giant company is essentially about calculating a detailed account, how to plan and make good use of the relationship with trading partners, live a good life behind closed doors, and make money is the serious business.

If all the members of the business circle of the world's giant companies are offended, then V's career as governor will basically come to an end, and he will at best become a top-notch general in charge.

You cannot become the coach who rules an entire galaxy.

The length of a person's political life depends on his political consciousness. Those who are short-sighted are not qualified to be leaders.

‘No wonder this group of rebels would rather rob the giant company’s supplies and risk being annihilated by the giant company’s army than forcefully rebel. It seems they really can’t survive. ’

V thought thoughtfully in his heart, since Latuwu's rebels had this reason, he might as well try to persuade them to surrender first and give them a chance to start over.

For example, under the leadership of giant companies, the circles of power are re-divided and people at the bottom are arranged to work as laborers on other planets to mine and collect resources for the giant companies.

Not to mention being rich and powerful, it is still better than tying your head on your belt and being a precarious rebel.

If these rebels don't agree, it won't be too late to force them into the matrix to generate electricity and drain them all.

V is not an unreasonable and reckless warrior. It is understandable to do some evil things sometimes, but if you do too many immoral things, you will get retribution sooner or later.

The theme of this rebellion is essentially a game between the bottom and the powerful. The forces on both sides are waiting to see which side of the world's giant companies, which are the main referees, are on.

In order to understand the overall situation as much as possible without being blinded by a single leaf, V decided to personally lead the expedition force to the planet Latuwu to check it out.

In fact, V already has a rough plan in mind for how to deal with this rebellion.

Let's borrow the boss Li Ang's favorite and most commonly used moves to kill a group of people, support a group of people, and suppress a group of people.

It's easy to understand why a group of people were killed. The leader of the rebels was captured and beheaded, setting an example and telling everyone that this was the result of betraying a giant company in the world.

It is also easy to understand that it is necessary to support a group of people. The status of the remaining powerful and high-level people remains unchanged, but new members must join the high-level circle.

As for who this new member is, it depends on whether there are people in the rebels who are aware of current affairs. Whoever surrenders first will take over first.

And the most ruthless killing move is behind.

The purpose of suppressing a group of people is to promote the rebels who are close to giant companies, and to continue suppressing them stubbornly, and to dismantle the tight structure of the rebels from within.

The brotherhood of Liangshan heroes is nothing when it comes to a fragrant way.

If the leader who had been impassioned and indignant before and said that he would lead his brothers to live in prosperity and prosperity was suddenly turned into the dog of a giant company, the remaining rebel members would only follow suit.

Or continue to resist.

But no matter what the choice is, the internal organization of this rebel army will definitely fall apart and completely collapse and be annihilated.

As for the rest, everything will be fine and it's not V's turn to worry about it.

The rebels who were ordered to peace would never attack their own people any more lightly than the powerful and high-ranking officials before.

The purpose of a dragon slayer is to become that "dragon". If you want not to be replaced by another dragon slayer, you'd better not let any flaws slip.

The final destination of dragons is to be replaced by new dragon slayers. This law is suitable for the universe, including the Latuu civilization of the 003 universe.

The rich and powerful are always products that can be continuously consumed and replaced. After all, they also come from the bottom.

Unless you are like Li Ang, you become the one who sets the rules and regulations, letting everyone play with each other within the rules of the game you set, which is a meaningless waste of energy.

"Just do it."

V nodded slightly and said to himself.

After working with his boss Li Ang for so many years, he is basically familiar with most of Li Ang's styles and methods of doing things, and he has also learned some things that are difficult for others to understand.

The bookmaker who sets the rules is the always winner.

As the creators of the laws of the heavens and the universe, the giant companies in the world have only one purpose once they take action themselves, that is -

Pull back the balance that has drifted out of control, return the situation to the balance line, and maintain a normal natural cycle.

If you want to let the powerful and high-ranking officials know that a gentleman's fortune can only be cut down after five lifetimes, you should be honest and stop fishing for others' benefits every day and squeezing out your own bottom-level resources.

Or they will be crushed to pieces by the angry bottom, and their share of the power cake will be divided and rewarded to the new winner.

Not convinced? What were you doing that morning?

He was almost slaughtered before he realized he was worried. Did he run over to ask for help? !

And after V defeated him with such a set of combos, it not only reminded other powerful members of the trading circle, but also made a statement to those at the bottom of civilization.

See clearly, the Universal Corporation will always only welcome winners to join the trade circle!

A civilization that cannot even control its own lower-level people is not worthy of staying in this position, and can go wherever it is cool.

As for the muscular and powerful lower-level friends, just do your best to smash the old guys above. If you win, you will be rewarded as a powerful person. If you lose, you can enter the matrix to generate electricity and start over.

In short, it is worth living a chic life.

As for the powerful and high-level people who are watching the show on the side, we are still close partners. As long as you are strong enough to suppress the unruly people below, let's work together to make money.

The strong will always be strong. The door of the Universal Corporation will always be open to capable and strong civilization allies!

After deciding on the next action plan, V immediately asked people to prepare the documents of the imperial edict and the battle plan.

If the peace talks are ineffective, then drop some bombs first to open the eyes of the Latuwu rebels and see what the divine soldiers are.

It just so happened that a new batch of Astartes members were about to arrive, and V was just training them through this counterinsurgency operation.

After confirming that there were no mistakes in the released plan deployment, V waved his hand to dissipate the holographic thumbnail of the planet Latuwu, and prepared to take another look at the size of the expeditionary force.

"Report to the Governor!"

At this moment, a staff member popped up a holographic screen to remind: [The air formation carrying the new members of the Iron Hands Legion has all arrived at the hangar of this fleet. ]

"Very good, let them rest first and prepare for the battle."

[Yes! ]

After the voice fell, V no longer focused on the fleet operations, but focused on the preparations after the counterinsurgency.

...

...

Tianyuan IV star system.

The Tianyuan IV star system located in the core colony area of ​​the UNSC can be regarded as a fertile area for human colonies.

The star Tianyuan IV here is almost exactly the same as the stars in the solar system, whether in size or mass, and the planets in the revolution area are similar to those in the solar system.

Most of the terrestrial planets around Tianyuan IV are new homes that are very suitable for human habitation.

The terrestrial planets in the third to sixth orbits of Tianyuan IV have basically all been transformed and colonized by the UNSC.

And Reach, which is in the third orbit, is a commercial and industrial planet with a diameter of 14,000 kilometers and a large population. It is also one of the core colonies of the UNSC!

The terrestrial planets in the fifth and sixth orbits are famous resorts and university towns. The top rich and powerful people from the human world will go here to rest.

Any regime has its own core jurisdiction area. Tianyuan IV, which is only 10 light years away from the solar system, can be called "the imperial city wall under the feet of the emperor."

Therefore, although it is also an extraterrestrial colony planet, the residents of Fengzao Star, which is dozens of light years away, have to work hard to farm all day to provide fresh food for the people on Reach.

But it should be said that Reach is indeed a shining pearl in the Tianyuan IV system.

This planet with a strong aurora looks like a dazzling green halo from a distance.

Coupled with the blue ocean and lush land, its appearance is not much worse than Pandora.

When UEG first landed on Reach, it took less than 30 years to transform it into a Feng Shui treasure land suitable for human free residence.

After more than 200 years, the population of Reach has rapidly expanded from tens of thousands of people at the beginning to nearly 800 million people!

If the other colonies of Tianyuan IV are included, the total population here has already reached 2 billion, which is the second largest colony area after the solar system.

In addition to the super high "appearance" attribute, the large amount of titanium ore resources on Reach also makes the planet an important military town and naval headquarters of the UNSC.

Titanium ore resources are a material that is very suitable for shipbuilding and building hull armor. The alloy deck made by the fusion of this material can make the warship very strong.

It is precisely because of this that the UNSC has also deployed a powerful firepower system on Reach.

In the low-Earth orbit of Reach alone, there is a movable defense array composed of 20 orbital electromagnetic guns, which can carry out artillery strikes no matter where the enemy attacks from.

In addition, there is a dockyard on the orbital space station near the equator of Reach that can accommodate hundreds of aircraft carrier fleets.

Every day, dozens of aircraft carrier-class warships receive daily repairs and maintenance from the logistics department here.

Speaking of the most impressive warship and aircraft carrier of the current UNSC, it must be the Carthage supercarrier.

This Carthage supercarrier named "Trafalgar" is four kilometers long and eight hundred meters high, and its scale is only a circle smaller than the Infinity.

Before the UNSC exhausted all its resources to build the Infinity giant ship, this Carthage-class battleship was the ace flagship of the UNSC Navy and the proud creation of mankind in the "Halo" universe.

However, even with such a powerful defense system, the expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation still drove the ship to the vicinity of Reach's low-Earth orbit.

Thanks to the advanced optical camouflage materials provided by the Science Hub, the RCS-class armored cruiser that Reed and Jack were carrying was currently anchored above a remote area of ​​Reach.

With the satellite detection devices of the UNSC and ONI, it was not so easy to find their traces for the time being.

In addition, a few days ago, the engineering department of this expeditionary force established a small front-line base in the primeval forest in the area.

Used to facilitate investigators and special forces.

At this moment, after these days of investigation and planning, Li De and others have locked in the location of the target person and the time of the next action.

…

New Alexandria!

This capital city of Reach with a population of tens of millions is dotted with skyscrapers over 400 meters tall, sky gardens, shopping malls, and orbital elevators towering into the sky.

And in a certain experimental center in the city center, the facilities that should have been in order have now become extremely chaotic, and are accompanied by screams from time to time.

Because not long ago, an explosion occurred in the experimental center, and the research base suffered an attack by unknown forces!

Obviously, the masterminds behind this operation were the Astartes warriors headed by Li De.

At this moment, Reed was helping Jack and other warriors. They had successfully captured Dr. Halsey and a large number of Spartan experimenters.

Jack Wells was responsible for leading the people away, while Li De was responsible for breaking up the rear and delaying ONI's reinforcements.

Here, more than a dozen explosion-proof vehicles carrying special forces arrived at the experimental center, but before all their soldiers could get out of the vehicle, a heavy laser cannon blast destroyed one of the vehicles.

boom--! !

As a loud noise came, the soldiers of the ONI special forces below were instantly frightened and looked for bunkers to escape.

Obviously, facing an enemy attack of unknown origin, they did not dare to rush in to rescue people for a while.

"The enemy has a laser cannon device, be careful to hide! Everyone is hiding!"

Following the ONI commander's order, the soldiers of the special forces retreated under the explosion-proof vehicle and searched for a new assault route, trying to enter through the back.

But the Astartes warriors, who had been prepared for a long time, had clearly understood the layout of the area, and they had deployed combatants at various excellent sniper spots.

The deadly and intensive firepower crosses the line, so that the ONI special forces soldiers below do not dare to get involved easily.

boom--!

Bang! !

Several more roars were heard, and the soldiers of the special operations team who had just tried to get around were shattered into blood clots by laser cannons, leaving only a ball of hot, white steaming rotten flesh.

Seeing such a horrifying situation, ONI's special operations commander immediately realized that this was a premeditated kidnapping case, and the unknown forces inside were planning to kidnap their scientists!

After all, the other party was only preventing them from approaching the scientific research base from beginning to end, and did not take the initiative to shoot innocent citizens or soldiers standing outside the cordon.

Unless they take the initiative to come closer, the enemy's laser cannon will hit them!

‘Could it be that they are the core elite troops of the rebels? But why do they come here to kidnap scientific researchers? Even if they kidnap the people, they can’t escape our fleet. ’

The commander thought thoughtfully to himself, but no matter how he thought about it, he definitely couldn't continue sending soldiers and sneak in to die.

After thinking for a moment, the commander reported to his superiors through the vehicle communication equipment:

"Report to headquarters that our troops have been suppressed by enemy snipers and are now requesting air fire support from the UNSC."

However, before the commander could finish speaking, an order came from the UNSC headquarters:

[Please continue to lead your soldiers to forcibly break through the enemy's line of fire, and be sure to rescue our scientist Dr. Kathleen Halsey, who is a key figure in our UNSC department! 】

Hearing this, the special operations commander just wanted to curse, but after thinking about the serious consequences of offending his superiors, he first suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and continued:

"Reporting to the headquarters, we have suffered heavy casualties and are in urgent need of a large number of new troops. The enemy has laser cannons, snipers, and various heavy firepower devices."

"We need manpower, extra fire support!"

The ONI special operations commander originally wanted to use this excuse to delay a little longer and wait until the large forces arrived before swarming them forward.

However, the orders coming from the headquarters were still extremely inhumane, cold and indifferent:

[Please execute the order immediately. I don’t want to see those rebels take away Dr. Halsey. Either you all die in the line of duty or arrest these rebels! 】

After hearing the headquarters' unparalleled order, the special operations commander's whole body went numb, and a feeling of sadness suddenly rose in his heart, followed closely by endless anger.

There is no way, the official level is overwhelming, no matter how much he wants to resist, he must carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.

"Yes...I understand!!"

After the ONI commander hung up the communication device with gritted teeth, he immediately ordered his soldiers, saying:

"All personnel obey my order and move forward ten meters to shoot freely. I will empty all the bullets in your hands and shoot them clean."

"Not a single bullet is allowed!"

After hearing the commander's inexplicable instructions, these special operations soldiers were all confused, but they quickly came to their senses and responded solemnly:

"Yes! Sir."

The ONI special operations commander sighed and shook his head. There was no other way. This was the only way he could think of to save the lives of these soldiers without derelict in their duties and resisting the execution of orders.

And those special forces soldiers were very grateful that their superiors would rather offend their superiors than see their own decisions to die, so they aimed at various points and began to shoot freely.

Da!

Da Da Da!

For a while, the continuous and harsh sound of gunfire began to sound constantly outside the experimental center.

Of course, this kind of aimless free shooting is definitely not able to hit anyone.

Faced with the neurotic behavior of the ONI special forces, the experienced Li De just took a look and immediately realized the intention of the other commander.

Obviously, the old oil sticks understand the old oil sticks!

So, Li De also gave orders, asking his subordinates to fire a few shots from time to time in response, hitting the surrounding buildings, which can be regarded as helping the other side to cover and greet each other.

After all, in the final analysis, everyone is a miserable worker. Although they are in different parallel universes, their identities are the same.

Since the superiors are not human and insist on sending their subordinates to die, then they use their own way to do nothing, which is also reasonable and normal!

People can't give up their lives for the sake of noble professionalism, obey the orders of their superiors and die gloriously.

They are special forces of ONI after all. Although they are under the jurisdiction of the UNSC headquarters, it is not necessarily the headquarters' turn to decide whether to expel and hold them accountable.

After all, ONI is a department of the Intelligence Bureau, and it is two systems from the UNSC headquarters. If there is a real fight, the heads of the two departments will definitely protect their own calves.

What's more, how much money do they make a month? Is it worth risking their lives!

In this way, the two sides achieved a record of no casualties in the seemingly fierce confrontation.

Except for the few green hands in front, the rest of the ONI special forces were all having fun and just shot randomly.

It's life, it's life too!

Since they were all UNSC staff, firing two shots for the sake of getting the job done was considered a way of living up to the organization's training.

Besides, the enemy was in the dark the whole time, and they didn't have enough reconnaissance aircraft and equipment, so they didn't even see the enemy's shadow.

Apart from knowing that the enemy's high-speed laser sniper was very powerful, this ONI special forces soldier knew nothing else.

People are always afraid of unknown things.

Facing an unknown big boss whose health bar was not even revealed, who would dare to fight with a knife to consume blood!

Therefore, the commander and soldiers of the ONI special forces decided to delay until the arrival of reinforcements, and then go up to fight when everyone was gathered.
