Chapter 2679

When a bad little girl accidentally killed a female demon who seemed to have a good reputation, when the Marines wearing CMC armor carefully searched and explored the place where the female demon she killed was located.

In the basement under the building, just when the corpses of the high-level demons were at a loss and had to report to their superiors, in the command center of the mine base, including the base's supreme commander Darius, a group of senior

Officers, senior commanders and general staff officers at all levels were having an emergency meeting in a huge conference room on a certain floor.

soon!

When Darius presented the piece of information that he had obtained from the twisted psyker prisoner at the meeting, which made him a little shocked and troubled, as expected, all the senior officers and staff present started to express their anger.

Exclaim loudly and discuss:

"!!"

"What?"

"Three, three months?"

"You're kidding!"

"You want to recapture the entire Huagai Planet within three months, otherwise the survivors of the entire planet will be distorted and corrupted by then?"

"That's impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"yes!"

"Three months, this is too soon..."

"I also think it's too aggressive. It's better for us to play it safe. After all, the situation is great now. Can't we just play it safe?"

"I don't mind playing it safe, but what should I do if what the commander just said is true?"

"The red mist can really corrupt humans, and does it really only have three months left?"

"this!"

"Is there really such a thing?"

"We still have to rescue the refugees, eliminate the subspace demons, and eradicate the source of the red mist within three months. Otherwise, all the people still alive within the red mist will turn into that kind of twisted monster?"

"ha!"

"Now that's good, all plans are going to be disrupted again."

"Changing the plan is secondary, but I'm worried about other things."

"Has the information been verified?"

"well……"

"Now that the general has said it, I guess it's almost the same."

"Who knows if the prisoner deceived us?"

"snort!"

"I think it's better to interrogate the prisoner again. It would be best to use the latest lie detector, or simply dig out his brain, and then we can find the information ourselves!"

"..."

Although the information came from the mouth of their commander Darius, since the matter was important and sounded a bit absurd, and the information came from a prisoner, the officers still

They were more or less suspicious, and many of them even held an oppositional attitude, and then clamored to use the cruelest methods against the prisoners.

"Dear colleagues!"

"I don't understand!"

So, after arguing for a while and discovering that Chief Darius did not explain the authenticity of the intelligence or respond to everyone's questions, and seemed to be convinced that it was the truth, finally, an officer couldn't help it anymore and directly

He stood up and patted the big round table, pointed his finger at a certain officer in charge of the scientific research department of the base, and then said with a rude look:

"Didn't the scientific research department say that if the red mist with subspace chaotic energy attributes wants to assimilate this planet, it will take at least hundreds or even thousands of years?"

"Why did it suddenly become three months now?"

"What kind of bullshit information is provided here? The Corrupted Xel'Naga are not as deceptive as you are, right?"

It's no wonder, after all, the situation is very good now, and the base has already been carrying out military operations to conquer the surrounding areas step by step. Even various plans and plans for attacks and campaigns have been scheduled for two or three years. But now it's better.

, the situation that was not taken seriously at first suddenly took a turn, and anyone who changed it would be very angry.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the officers, including Darius, who had been excited and arguing just now, of course fell silent and all turned to look at the head of the scientific research department who was being criticized by the officer.

And judging from their individual faces and the complicated eyes above, it is not difficult to guess that their thoughts are obviously the same as those of the officer who was the first to ask questions, and they are very concerned about some wrong information provided by the scientific research department.

dissatisfied?

"Hmm!"

"Don't worry, everyone, I want to correct and add something here!"

However!

Facing the strange looks from everyone, which were either angry, complicated, or dissatisfied, the head of the scientific research department was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Darius and after receiving instructions, he slowly stood on the table.

He stood up and continued:

"first!"

"I remember that our scientific research department just said at that time: the speed at which the red mist can assimilate the planet may take hundreds or even thousands of years, or even longer, right?"

"There is no doubt that the results of our research are just that!"

"Because we all know that the purpose of the subspace demons is nothing more than to assimilate and transform this planet into a part of the subspace, or to turn it into some kind of bridge between the subspace and the main material plane.

?”

"Of course, no matter what the demons' purpose is, those things are not important."

"Our current focus is not on studying that weird subspace, but there are other more important things, such as how to break through the red mist that can block detection?"

Having said this, the person in charge paused for a while before continuing:

"Indeed!"

"We also know that the red mist released by the demons, in addition to shielding our detection, may also have the purpose of assimilating the planet. However, if the concentration remains unchanged, it will indeed take hundreds or even thousands of people to

The long process of thousands of years, that is the data we obtained through observation, and it cannot be wrong."

"As for the specific speed at which creatures are distorted and corrupted, we don't know yet."

"After all, living things have metabolic processes, and the human body's immunity is not as fragile as we thought. How long it will take for it to be completely corrupted requires a lot of experiments, and we are conducting such experiments in an orderly manner."

"Of course, those experiments may be somewhat inhumane?"

"In this regard, the scientific research department of our engineering station has also submitted relevant arguments and speculations. However, given that our army, whether armored units or individual units, has very excellent three-defense capabilities, it will not be directly exposed. And being under the influence of that kind of red mist, so I’m afraid no one, including our scientific research department, paid much attention to that matter, right?"

"However, we have also conducted observations and large-scale data collection on survivors who have been in the red fog for a long time. However, the impact of the red fog on living things, especially humans, is not continuous. Unless there are significant changes, corruption or distortion in the experimental target and observation group, we will certainly not be able to draw accurate conclusions, let alone provide accurate information."

"Although we can accelerate the process of corruption and distortion by changing the concentration of red mist, which is indeed feasible, it does not have much practical significance."

"The concentration of the red mist that permeates this planet is so high. Even if the concentration is artificially changed to accelerate the process of corruption and distortion, and then to judge the speed of corruption and distortion under the current concentration, it is not rigorous, because That doesn’t mean that the red mist at the current concentration is necessarily harmful.”

"This is not a star area. We do not have a time accelerometer. Many experiments that rely on long-term observation cannot be carried out at all. The results obtained through data simulation can only be used as a reference. For us scientific researchers, such results are also unsatisfactory. Of any practical significance!”

"And then..."

"Our scientific research department has very few manpower, and no relevant real cases have been discovered so far. Therefore, our main focus is currently on researching and breaking through the shielding of our military instruments by the red mist."

"As for corruption..."

"If the commander gives the order, we will definitely mobilize more manpower and resources to conduct research and investigation in this area."

"But in that case, the research and progress in red fog detection may be slower. By then, the military will have to be mentally prepared to fight under the current conditions?"

"And we make no guarantees as to when the results will be available!"

Finally, he spoke a lot eloquently, and tried to explain why the scientific research department has not discovered the key to the problem so far in terms that ordinary people, including Darius and other old and rough officers, can understand. After understanding, he saw that the officer who had just accused him had changed from anger to resentment and sat down. He saw that all the officers present began to frown in thought and had no intention of questioning. The one who was mainly responsible for the scientific research department The person in charge slowly turned his head, looked at Darius in the chair with questioning eyes, and waited for his opinion.

"okay."

"There's no need to change the focus of research, just keep everything as usual!"

"You only have so many people, and we have no way to mobilize manpower and various resources from the star area, and we have no way to send specimens back, so let's do this for the time being!"

After thinking about it, Darius waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to continue arguing about the issue just now, and now was not the time to shirk responsibility from each other.

After all, he himself also knows that there are only a few dozen people in the engineering station responsible for researching weird things like red mist. Excluding the handymen, there are probably less than ten doctors and researchers who are really useful. At the moment, there are no

It is obviously unrealistic to use the vast resources of the star sector to achieve the results they want in a short period of time with just a few dozen people.

"Although the information was obtained from the mouth of a twisted psyker prisoner, and although we don't know whether what he said is true or false for the time being, given that he is still imprisoned by us and will be found out in at most three months, so

…”

"I don't think he has any need to deceive us?"

This is Darius's point of view, because he has seen the prisoner. Although the other party is very stupid and arrogant, there is really no reason to deceive in that kind of thing. In addition, they did not let the other party go immediately. If the other party dares to lie, then

Three months later, he wouldn't mind, as a certain officer said just now, ordering the other party's brain to be dug out and then forcibly reading the memory.

"so……"

"Everyone!"

"That's it for now. I don't want to argue or think about other things. I just want to know: if we really only have three months, can we completely liberate the entire Huagai Star?"

"Of course, you don't have to be too thorough. You just need to defeat the demons and rescue most of the survivors like the current Gui market."

"for example……"

"We can first defeat the main force of the demons, eliminate most of the subspace rifts and portals, and prevent them from increasing their troops. Then it is best to destroy all the sources of the red mist at the same time. As for the remaining demons, we can slowly

It will take one year, two years, ten years or more to clear it out."

"Can you do what I said?"

After saying that, Darius slowly closed his mouth, and then looked at the officers present, especially the commanders and staff responsible for directing operations and formulating attack plans and rhythms.

In any case, the ultimate purpose of their sector coming here is for profit. Even with the order of the head of state, saving people is just incidental after all. They can save as many as they can under the best efforts, but it is really not within their power.

If he couldn't be rescued before he was arrested, he believed that the head of state would not be too harsh.

After all, their strength is indeed limited. They only have one flagship and 100,000 troops. The only people who came to the ground were the more than 10,000 people he led. And those subspace demons are not as weak as they appear, and

It's because they are too strong. If it were others, such as the planetary armies of this planet, without the weapons and equipment of their sector, they would have collapsed long ago. How could they survive with only a basic base of more than 10,000 people?

How did the situation develop to the present level?

"this……"

"Isn't it just three months too short?"

"yes!"

"It's only three months. Even if we can succeed, I'm afraid it will definitely turn into a mess in the end, and the quality of the soldiers will definitely be uneven. I feel terrible when I think about it!"

"It will definitely be countless times worse than now!"

"Isn't it?"

"If nothing else, it is already a disaster for us to lead more than a million soldiers with only 10,000 people at the beginning. And if we want to recover the entire Huagai Star within three months, let alone a lot of sacrifices.

By then, the number of troops that have increased dramatically due to fighting for war is likely to reach tens of millions, and without enough qualified grassroots officers, God knows what kind of catastrophic situation will occur in the command system!"

"It is indeed difficult, but we still have to do it, otherwise if it turns out to be true, those survivors and the nearly 10 billion indigenous people who are still alive will definitely become our enemies!"

"Based on the latest information, it is estimated that there are less than one or two billion demons distributed across the entire planet, right? If there are tens of billions of twisted monsters suddenly added by then, then let's stop playing and fly directly into the universe and destroy them.

Drop this planet!"

"The question now is: If we really have to do that, we will have to be busy for the next three months. Do we need to prepare more boosters?"

"alright!"

"Let the combat brain simulate it first, within three months, and see what the result will be."

"That's fine!"

Faced with Darius's problem, after the officers discussed and lamented among themselves for a while, they finally had to shut up and began to count the various existing resources and troops and use the combat intelligence of the command center.

The brain began to simulate on the spot.

Ten minutes later...

"Report sir!"

As the commanders and staff discussed in low voices, finally, a chief of staff responsible for formulating the plan stood up and began to report loudly:

"The base's intelligence brain just conducted 10,000 simulation results based on the current situation."

"Our success probability of roughly liberating the entire Huagai Star and rescuing most of the refugees within three months is 63%, and there is a 22% probability of failure and having to escape, but at the same time we still have

Is there a 15% chance that both sides will be defeated by the demons, and then the two sides will enter a long-term stalemate?"

"However, due to the rush of time, this is only a rough simulation. The specific details need to be repaired and improved, and the result may be better."

"In general, it is feasible to defeat the demons in three months, rescue most of the survivors, eliminate most of the sources of the red mist, and achieve victory over the subspace demons!"

Having said this, the chief of staff looked at the officers at the meeting. After seeing the relaxed and happy expressions on everyone's faces, he suddenly changed the topic and warned:

"but!"

"This will also create a series of very serious problems!"

"For example: the military command system is in chaos, the remaining demons are spread over a wide area, and wars will continue. The subspace demons that were originally solved in three years may exist on the planet for a longer time. Even due to the blind expansion of the army, there are

There will be problems such as warlords who do not obey orders."

"The above is the situation we may face when the time comes."

"If you can accept it, sir, our staff will come up with a better plan in the shortest time. But those problems will not disappear. At best, they can only be avoided as much as possible?"

After saying that, the chief of staff directly pushed the problem to Darius and waited for their supreme commander's decision.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

And similarly, after listening, the other officers present also looked at Darius, wanting to see the other party's attitude.

"Well……"

He lowered his eyelids and pondered, thinking about the not-so-high success rate and the various serious consequences that might occur at the same time. Darius couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"!!"

"never mind!"

"If you continue to suffer from the chaos, then let's make this decision!"

"Report to me before noon tomorrow!"

"Others prepare to fight!"

After saying that, Darius stood up, feeling depressed, and then slowly turned around and left the conference room as the other officers stood up and watched.

With an attitude of preferring to believe what he has or not, although this matter has been finalized, he still seems to want to discuss it with Head of State Anne to see if he can get some support from the other party, otherwise this battle will

It’s really hard to fight!

In Darius's view, the current situation is outnumbered, the field of vision is suppressed, and there are time constraints. This is different from the tasks that Galen, Nova, Zerg, and Protoss were summoned and accepted.

In comparison, the difficulty is simply not on the same level!

But fortunately, as a warrior, Darius doesn't worry about that, because the more difficult it is, the more excited he will be and the more he will go head-on!

However, now he just needs the authorization from the head of state.

Otherwise, if he accidentally messes up in the end, he will have to take the blame. As long as he gets the permission of the head of state, he doesn't need to care so much whether he wins or loses in the end, he only needs to work hard.

"Damn it!"

"Three months, how do I fight this?"

"Not to mention those villages, there are hundreds of towns, large and small. It takes ninety days to attack hundreds of towns, and you also have to blow up those subspace rifts and the source of the red mist. This is impossible to fight!

"

"You have to fight even if you can't!"

"Yeah, there's no other way. The plan can't keep up with the changes. What else can we do?"

"Stop complaining. Who made us miss the draw this time?"

"Isn't it?"

"The beginning is hell difficulty, with one battleship and 10,000 demons sweeping across the entire planet. If this is really successful, how many levels can you upgrade in a row when you go back!"

"If you want to level up a few levels in a row, you should worry about yourself first. Don't accidentally lose your life!"

"Okay! Okay!"

"Everyone, please stop complaining and go back and get ready!"

"The next time will not be pleasant. Drink more melatonin nutrient solution, and the time you can rest every day will not be too long."

"yes……"

"In the next three months, not only the soldiers will have to fight hard on the front line, but we commanders will also have to fight hard in the rear!"

"Let's go!"

"Let your officers make relevant preparations first when you go back?"

"That's fine!"

"..."

As soon as Darius left the house, the officers and staff in the conference room started wailing and discussing loudly again.

But alas, whining is useless!

Because, although the final decision and order have not been issued, there will basically be no changes. In the next three months, whether it is soldiers, officers, or the war machines in the base, they must operate crazily and unconditionally.

Get up, and then finish a mighty Star Wars in three months.
