Chapter 030 Conspiracy

In the colonial capital city.

A 60-story high-rise building stands in the lively city. People entering and leaving the building are all suits and leather shoes, with serious professional clothes. At the same time, they are also a group of enviable guys. Not to mention anything else, just because this is the headquarters building of the famous merchant association of Colonial Star.

In an office on the top floor of the building, a man about 70 or 80 years old, slightly fat, with black-framed eyes sat quietly. The man who has just entered the category of old age is Xie Mingchuan. He is the chairman of the three-time Chamber of Commerce. He holds the interests of the majority of people and can be called a call for the wind and rain.

At this time, the induction door of the office opened, and a young woman in professional clothes walked in with elegant steps, facing the majestic man. She sat casually on the sofa opposite him, crossed her legs and said, "The big boss asked me to tell Mr. Xie that the military has begun to take action. We put The location of the pirates told the group of mercenaries and let them move quickly.

"I'll let my people inform you." Xie Mingchuan said lightly and didn't mind the woman's attitude, because he knew that both of them served the big boss.

"No, Mr. Xie, in order to be foolproof, you need to inform them in person." The woman said, "This kind of thing can't be neglected."

"I think it's risky to work against the government and the army." Xie Mingchuan opened the communicator and looked for the number.

"There is something wrong with your mentality. The big boss told us to do it right or wrong, just do it and do our best." The woman stressed that it was quite educational, "What's more, these things need the support of the people, and the rest can be done by the big boss, whether it is the government or the army."

In the face of women's accusations, although Xie Mingchuan was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it on his face, because he knew very well that the mysterious big boss was powerful, and the ability of the behind-the-scenes group was even more horrible. Although he is a big man of the colonial star, no matter who is black and white, he has to give himself a face, but in front of the big boss, he can only be regarded as a chess piece under him at best.

A weighty chess piece, but it can still be abandoned.

......

Hawke led his men to walk on the scorching Gobi Desert.

"Shir, there is communication at the base!" A subordinate ran over and handed him a communicator. "It's a message from the top."

Hawke took over the communicator and the message played automatically.

"All units should pay attention to the appearance of prey. From now on, all foreign personnel will return immediately and cooperate with the transfer to complete their respective tasks. In addition, the relevant map and target location point have been sent.

At the end of the brief communication, Hawke transmitted the map to his private terminal, opened the map, and found the mission area marked with red dots.

"Strange, it seems that patrol has not been arranged in that position. How can they know that there is an enemy?" One of his men was puzzled.

Hawke also has doubts that it is not a good thing for enemies and jackals (mercenaries to call the alliance forces) to appear at the same time. Although there are many people this time, if the alliance military takes out the shield for carrying out the mission, it will be difficult for them to do it. After all, no one dares to fight against the alliance army.

"Isn't it designed?" Another bald man said with a smile, and the others also shook their heads with a smile when they heard the words.

"Bad head, what did you say?" Hawke didn't laugh. He asked, "Is this action designed? Why?"

"Uh... boss, I just said it casually." Seeing his boss getting serious, the bald man waved his hand in a hurry, but he had no idea.

"Nann't worry about this and say what you just thought." Hawk said to him.

"This... I guess employers have known it for a long time, or there are already clues. From the fact that they hire dozens of regiments of different sizes in one go, we can see that they are full of confidence; and on the first day after the operation, it should have been a hurry, but we are only small patrols and wait for the government. After receiving the information, we are still lazy, which is completely nourishing and can only explain one thing - the intelligence is deliberately made known to the government.

"Why?" A strong man scratched his head and didn't quite understand.

"Go on." Hawk seems to have thought of something. After all, as a mercenary leader, he can't lead these men without a little brain.

"That's simple. If the boss wants to control public opinion, what he can do is to put us on the same starting line with the army and let us win, resulting in faster and more effective results than the army. Think about it, what would other people think if the mercenaries were more efficient in extermination of pirates than the army? Next year is the general election of the consul of the planet. If this happens, will the people still be assured of the army and the government?

"No!" The man shook his head just now.

"I see." Hawke figured it out a little, and he looked at his men. "From now on, inform the third team to fly a spaceship to pick us up. There may be major events later. Also, there are many competitors this time, but we want to be the best.

"Of course, this bonus will definitely be ours."

Hawk looked at his confident men and nodded with satisfaction. Although he knew that his team was nothing and could not win the first place in this mercenary gathering, he still liked this feeling of ambition.

The spacecraft will arrive soon.

In the returned cabin, a man rubbed his thighs and complained, "Grandma, those fat men already knew the location of their prey. Why did they let us run around the world without being close to which area?"

"Surface phenomena still need to be sufficient." Hawke said to him, but his tone was somewhat admiring, "That's why they waited for the army to join after getting the news out. If you act carelessly and find out the facts, this group of people will have to finish it. Although the corruption of the alliance has continued in recent years, it is supported by a huge foundation and no one can shake it.

He didn't say a word - unless someone deliberately incited civil strife.

"That's right. To put it bluntly, this group of people just want to pay less taxes, so they need to overturn the law so that our group of 'private security guards' can have heavy weapons."

"Don't complain, it's also good for us!" Another cheerful mercenary said, "Maybe they can use armed spacecraft to launch mid-range and even long-range ballistics* in the future. Those pirates no longer dare to fight with us, and they will have to escape with their tails in the future!"

"Shir, communication!"

"Tight for it." Hawke said, "What's going on?"

"Sir, they ordered us to attack with all their strength, and at the same time send ground troops to go deep. Once they meet an enemy that does not belong to them, they will be killed immediately."

"You follow the army, what should you do, as I taught you at ordinary times."

"I understand. When they attack, let that group of people be cannon fodder. When the time is right, we will use all our strength to grab the credit.

"Very good." Hawke hung up the communication with satisfaction, and the team he led survived until now is largely due to the concept of "go to death first, take credit by yourself" - he has always regarded himself as a mercenary - a group of armed organizations that only work for money.

By the time they rushed to the designated place, the fierce battle in the air had begun. The enemy counterattacked crazily. They kept firing close-range*, and objects dragging orange tails chased and biting the buttocks of the spacecraft. On the other hand, the rapid assault ships of the mercenaries also flew over the base one after another to drop precision-guided bombs.

Explosions occurred continuously in the air and on the ground, and thick smoke quickly enveloped the area. Through metal detectors, the basic appearance of the underground base has been revealed. Even after some of the soil on the ground was overturned a few meters, a layer of black alloy plate emerged.

"shir, which part are we responsible for?" A soldier looked at the smoke-rolling ground and couldn't wait to smell him.

"Wait." Hawk said calmly, "We mainly carry out ground operations. Before that, find me an entrance."

Hawk pointed to one of the areas and said, "Go there and hover low."

"I understand."

The spacecraft circled at low altitude, and Hawke quickly determined a secret hole between the two mountains according to the direction of the enemy spacecraft and *, where the thermal detector showed that there was still heat that had not disappeared in the air by a flame spewed by a * thruster.

"Land, let's enter that place!" Hawk pointed to that place. At the same time, the spacecraft pilot controlled the spacecraft to land quickly. The side cabin door opened, and more than a dozen fully armed soldiers jumped down and began to run in that direction with weapons.

"Please note that the units entering the base are now sending you the information and approximate location of the enemy leader Flocke. Once they are found and captured alive, 100 million star coins will be rewarded."

"Please note that the units entering the base are now sending you the information and approximate location of the enemy leader Flock. Once you find it and catch it alive, you will be rewarded with 100 million star coins."

"Hey, I guessed right." The bald man holding an F-M06 machine gun said proudly to others, "I knew the location of the pirate base. Look at it now, even know where the pirate leader is. Let me see what this bastard looks like!"

He grabbed his companion's computer, glanced at it, and then threw it to others, "Damn it, it's just like a deputy. I didn't expect the pirate leader to look like a businessman in a suit."

"Bocthead, shut up." Hawke shouted, "Now we are the first one who is about to enter the inner layer of the base. Let me be vigilant and complete the task."

"I understand, sir!"

They rushed in, put on tactical glasses and turned on night vision.

After entering the empty cave, he walked down the wall, stepped on the gravel blocks, and stones kept rolling down. The whole team walked down at a slow speed.

"Someone seems to be following up!" A member at the end of the team whispered.

"What's going on?" Hawke also just heard this sentence.

"Someone may follow." The man said.

"Stop the team!" Hawke ordered, "Open the private communication channel to see if it's his own."

After a few seconds, someone whispered, "No, they are from another team. The public communication channel is open, and there are six people."

"six people!" Hawke stared at the other teammates and recalled the information just now. The location of the pirate leader was not far from them. The group of employers actually took out the map of the whole underground base. I'm afraid even fools know the clues, but now they don't have time to think about it.

With this team of more than a dozen people, he was confident to catch the pirate leader alive, and the reward of 100 million star coins was obviously a seductive piece of fat - he looked at his teammates again, and they all nodded expressionlessly, raised their guns and looked unanimously.

Hawke didn't want to give this credit to others. He finally came down cruelly and ordered, "The enemy appears and annihilate all!"

"I understand." The teammates immediately hid nearby and moved quickly.

The voice of the comer approached. Two minutes later, the six people groping down appeared in front of them. When they entered the range, they pulled the trigger without hesitation - almost nothing. The group of six people who thought that there were friendly forces ahead and were not too vigilant all died. Under the bullet.

"All annihilated, sir."

"The team continues to act." Hawk said coldly, "In case, speed up now!"

"I understand!"

They accelerated down, and five minutes later, they finally encountered the first door connected to the underground base.

"According to intelligence, this is a reserved channel, and we can blow the concrete next to it with directional explosives!" A soldier carrying an explosive bag said.

"Implement immediately."

But when they walked to the wall, another person shouted: "Sir, there is an armed robot here!"

"What?" Hawk was surprised and seemed to think of something. His face changed. "Oh, let's run!"

It took them two seconds to react. By this time, Hawke was already running to the front. By the time they also followed, a deafening explosion enveloped them.

More than a dozen people, even if they ran in the front, could not escape the shock wave brought by the explosion - he felt that he had flown up, and then his body hit the wall fiercely. When he opened his eyes again, he could not hear any sound. At the last moment when he fainted, he took advantage of the light emitted by the burning flame. He found that a bloody left leg fell beside him, and his vision gradually blurred...
