Chapter 052 Action
On the same day, the Western Military Region carried out an emergency mobilization.
How did Lieutenant General Ma Mingjing negotiate with the Alliance Space Command? Huo Xiu was not clear, but he received the order to quickly mobilize ground troops to the Jeta Galaxy and conduct a rapid reaction military exercise covering both "land-air" with the troops there, with the theme of "raid attack".
This kind of warning mobilization occurs frequently in remote areas. On the one hand, soldiers in remote areas have strict requirements for combat; on the other hand, remote areas are areas that the coalition government is eager to fully control, so it is a means of military deterrence. Although the colonial areas swore allegiance to the alliance, after all, the mountains are high and emperors are far away, and the central government and the president can't clearly know what the ruling leaders who are more than a thousand light years away are thinking.
Most of the soldiers were used to this news, and sometimes even this kind of mobilization happened when everyone was asleep. However, this time is not bad. The superiors gave them some time to prepare. They were not as hurried as usual. Everyone also trained as usual and carried out slowly.
After receiving the order, Huo Xiu immediately led his 49-person troops and put them all into PA-05 exoskeleton power armor. This was the first armor they tried on that year. Now it has been officially named by the military and is in the last stage of the test, and it is about to be equipped. Kind of troops.
Ho Xiu and Annie are no exception. When fifty people shrouded in armor walked into a medium-sized troop carrier, he could feel that almost everyone's eyes were focused on them. He can understand this. After all, this armor has just been named this year and has never been publicized to the outside world. Except for a few excellent troops that can try it, most of the special forces still use the previous generation of PA-04 armor.
When Huo Xiu sat down for the last time, the spacecraft's cabin door was closed, and the adjustable engine nozzle tilted down and took off at a certain angle, dragging two tails to the space berth outside the atmosphere.
In the cabin, the push back feeling caused by the sudden acceleration can no longer affect Huo Xiu in armor. The built-in safety servo system protects his whole body. The enhanced strength of the hydraulic system can even get rid of his seat belt and sit firmly in the chair alone, although this is not an easy job.
He is using this period to familiarize himself with this set of armor. Unlike 49 special team members, he has not used this set of armor for three or four months. Although some technicians will maintain it every few days, he has to rely on himself to play the effect of the armor.
When the spacecraft got rid of the attraction of the colonial star, the gravity almost ceased. The soldiers in the cabin began to be in a gravity-free environment. After about ten minutes, the spacecraft entered the spaceport. After stopping, the gravity brought by the slow rotation of the spaceport made them "down-to-earth" again.
Other spacecraft participating in the operation also entered the spaceport berthing area in an orderly manner. Under the orders of their respective commanders, air force soldiers and marines in white uniforms ran through the special passage, showing a completely tough style.
Huo Xiu led the team to the side landing hatch of a destroyer. The destroyer was quietly docking, and the entrance and exit were not as cumbersome as civil aviation. The responsible soldiers next to him saw this group of people coming, saluted, and then let them pass directly through the channel.
There are two new destroyers participating in this operation. In addition to an electromagnetic orbital gun as the main gun, each warship is also equipped with medium and long-range* laser interceptors. The bottom cabin can accommodate 24 unmanned fighters, five landing spacecraft prepared for landing on the ground, and a small number of wheeled assault vehicles.
Moreover, this new fifth-generation destroyer is loaded with an artificial gravity system, which does not need to generate gravity only by relying on the spin of the designated area during the march. However, this set of equipment consumes a lot of energy and uses a larger thermonuclear reactor in terms of spacecraft power. Therefore, the length of the destroyer has also reached more than 500 meters.
The two destroyers as the main force of cover set out immediately, followed by two transport ships, with a total of two regiments of marines, more than 4,000.
There are many troops, and what the pirates have done has indeed provoked many people. This time, Ma Mingjing vowed to teach the group of rampant pirates a lesson. However, I'm afraid that the soldiers still don't understand that they are already in an emergency military operation, not a routine military exercise.
During the spacecraft's accelerated journey to the Jetar Galaxy, Huo Xiu took several of his men to the elevator and came to the bridge command post on the top floor of the warship.
"Report, sir, the transition capacitor has completed 90% of the energy charging, and it is expected that a short-distance transition can be made in three minutes!"
A soldier in the bridge reported loudly, full of warship soldiers in blue uniforms in front of paper-thin display screens on both sides of the command platform. They are immersed in handling all kinds of information about the operation of the warship and paying attention to every order to be given by the captain standing high.
"Turn off the No. 2 engine in a minute and check the navigation route." The captain was a colonel. After giving an order, he also found Huo Xiu and others who arrived at the bridge.
"Report sir." Huo Xiu stood in front of the colonel and saluted, "I'm Huo Xiu, the commander of the special forces of the Western Military Region."
"Captain, what can I do for you?" The colonel looked at these people. Although he didn't like others to enter the busy bridge command center without authorization, looking at the dress of this group of people, he still needs to give some face to the military elites.
"I am ordered by Lieutenant General Ma Mingjing, the commander of the Western Military Region, to cancel this exercise and carry out a secret operation organized by the military." Huo Xiu's loud voice came from the armored loudspeaker equipment, and many people present could hear it clearly. "This is the appointment document of the Lieutenant General. Please have a look."
Colonese doubtfully took over the handheld computer handed over by Huo Xiu, glanced at Ma Mingjing's explanation and explanation of this operation, and did not forget to ask people to compare the anti-counterfeiting data.
"Shir, this is indeed a valid and legal appointment document for the commander of the Western Military Region." A soldier at the inspection finally reported.
"Captain Huo Xiu?" There were many doubts in the colonel's tone, "The above documents point out that you are responsible for command of this operation until you declare the end of the mission."
"I think so, sir." Huo Xiu replied that he knew that it was a little unreasonable to be this commander as his captain, and those who were very proud would inevitably have some resistance in their hearts. But in any case, these are specially pointed out by Lieutenant General Ma Mingjing.
The colonel looked at the captain in silver and white armor in front of him with his back. After a few seconds, he said, "Captain Huo Xiu, now I will give you the command of the warship. I hope you can treat it well."
"Of course, sir." Huo Xiu said.
"Now that you are the commander, I should call you an officer." The colonel said.
"That's good." The other party's polite words, but Huo Xiu refused, "Communication Soldier!"
A soldier looked back at the colonel, focused on Huo Xiu and replied, "Shir, what do you need to order?"
"Contact the other three spacecraft and send my appointment document to their captain." Huo Xiu said in a commanding tone, "At the same time, connect the galaxy satellite, establish a special channel of quantum communication, and transfer all the information to me to the command center."
"Shir, you need a permission password."
As soon as another messenger asked, Anne walked over and handed him a small chip and said, "This is the permission. You just connect and don't need to pay attention to any warning."
"Shir, the other two captains have holographic communication."
"Tight for it." Huo Xiu said that he stood in front of the captain's exclusive seat, and at the same time, three holographic three-dimensional images of officers wearing the blue colonel uniform of the space force appeared in front of him.
"Good sir." Huo Xiu saluted, and the three people in front of him returned the salute.
Their eyes are focused on Huo Xiu, but unfortunately, except for a set of exquisite armor, they can't see what he looks like.
"We have read the appointment." One of the colonels of the destroyer said, "The command of the emergency mission has been handed over to you. From now on, I will assign you."
"Wait for the order at any time." The captain of another transport ship also said.
"Very good." Huo Xiu showed an indifferent temperament. If the captain's rank hadn't been shown, I'm afraid others would have thought it was a general. "Fully the transition capacitor, slow down, and wait for my order at any time. Until then, no matter what communication is encountered, any appointment will be invalid.
"I understand, commander." The three people of the hologram and the colonel standing aside said at the same time that it seemed that they were also beginning to be under the command of Captain Huo Xiu.
"Anne, you are responsible for contacting the Military Information Command on the ground and asking them to send me all the detected messages." Huo Xiu said to Anne.
"I understand, sir." Anne entered the special communication channel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the colonel beside him was a little surprised. He knew very well that this special communication channel had priority and could not be used by ordinary intelligence officers, but the captain downplayed it. Who on earth is so capable?
But Huo Xiu ignored the surprise of others, but quickly grasped all the information of the small fleet. "Weapon operator, how is our * operator prepared? Which model* is used? How many EMP* are equipped with the warship?
He asked very well, making him extremely sophisticated when he thought that the army captain would be at a loss about space and other content.
"Report, sir, we have set out a total of 52 * operators this time, most of whom * are ground-oriented fighter bombers and some strong strikers; in terms of *assembly, there are 240 * for various purposes*, of which 6 short-range EMP* are in stock."
"Prepare for EMP*." Huo Xiu ordered, "and output 40% of the power of the reactor to the capacitor of the magnetic rail gun and report the full load time."
"40% of the power output of the reactor to the magnetic rail gun capacitance, confirm." The weapon operator focused on tapping on the keyboard, and another operator calculated the results. "Report, sir, the magnetic rail gun will be charged in about ten minutes."
"Very good, messenger, send my plan to another destroyer and let them control the warship in this way."
"I understand, sir."
When everyone recovered from Huo Xiu's series of orders and amazement at him, Anne reported a good news: "Sir, the secret service personnel of the Military CIA have found the location of the target, which is about 640,000 kilometers away from us."
"Convert the coordinates obtained by the satellite to the warship navigation map." Huo Xiu said to Anne and then looked up at the command screen. "Note, navigators and drivers, your task is to calculate the transition coordinates needed to reach the target location and reduce the error to 150,000 kilometers as much as possible."
"I understand, sir." Several non-commissioned officers immediately replied that at this moment, their tone was completely rigorous in dealing with the orders issued by a commander.
