From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

In the capital of Lethe, the red-light district on the eastern coast of Argos;

The streets were unusually deserted.

Even though there are holographic "signs" with enchanting images hanging on the buildings on both sides of the street, most people who have finished work choose to ignore them and just want to get through here quickly and return home.

In front of strip clubs and "special service" shops, there are no longer the "technicians" who usually "strike a pose" and lower themselves to attract customers.

As for the nightclubs where you can have all kinds of "encounters" and "indulgences"

Although there are still a few stores still in business, they are still deserted.

However, in one of the nightclubs called "Wangchuanyue·No Worries", there were many "customers".

Boom. Boom.~!!

Deep, deafening, and explosive music was playing in the nightclub.

"Customers" in casual clothes sat at the bar or on the sofas drinking and chatting.

The waitresses in revealing uniforms dragged trays to provide drinks, snacks and other services, and also cleaned up the place.

However, in the dance floor, which is the most important part of the nightclub, there are not many people "jumping around" to the music to release the stress accumulated over a day or even for a long time.

In fact, except for a few locals who are not afraid of death and do not take the alien "insect plague" seriously, the vast majority of "customers" here are advance teams, investigators, and special operations team members of the Investigation Department of the Human Empire.

There are also hundreds of elite guards on the second floor and basement of the nightclub.

After the "15" front-line base was officially put into use, Xiaoqiang used orbital drones to explore the entire Wangchuan Moon.

Although the overall technological level of the Alien universe is not as good as that of Halo and Starship Troopers, the orbital defense platform of Lethe is also a planetary-level strategic weapon.

Hundreds of large orbital space stations carrying nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs are deployed in a "network" outside the atmosphere of Wangchuan Moon.

Any unauthorized spacecraft that tries to force its way into the atmosphere of Wangchuan Moon will face the situation of being shot into a "hornet's nest" by nuclear bombs or hydrogen bombs.

Similarly, if an unauthorized spacecraft sets sail from the surface of Wangchuan Moon and attempts to fly away from Wangchuan Moon, it will also be hit by nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs.

This orbital defense system is called "Cerberus" by the military of Universe 15, which is the hellhound that serves as the gatekeeper of the underworld in Greek mythology.

However, the Cerberus defense system is unable to detect and lock onto the human empire's ships that have hidden technologies such as optical camouflage and magnetic field shielding.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the "14" front-line base, Xiaoqiang did not want to let the th Company of Space Wolves, which was accompanying their joint reconnaissance force (advance team), directly send the company fleet to destroy Cerberus.

First, it would be a bit of a pity to destroy the existing orbital defense system in this way.

After all, if they could take control of Argos, the capital of the Moon of Lethe, and wrest overall control from the Governor, they could “recycle” Cerberus.

Secondly, if the Space Wolves were allowed to "recklessly" charge, even if Cerberus could not accurately hit the Imperial warships, once the nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs fell to the surface, it might cause massive casualties among innocent compatriots.

Therefore, when the Astartas of the 14th Company of Space Wolves were deployed to the front-line base first, Xiaoqiang dispatched his direct subordinates one after another to quickly infiltrate into Argos.

With the help of the stupid AI exclusive to the joint investigation force, he forged identity documents for his direct subordinates and members of the investigation department.

And now happens to be the stage when aliens are rampant, and Governor Wangchuanyue has also called on all citizens to go to Argos and large towns for refuge, so there is almost no risk of exposure for forged identity documents.

Then, Xiaoqiang "secretly acquired" the nightclub and legally rented several apartments and warehouses to serve as their base of operations in Argos.

at this time.

In the meeting room on the second floor of the nightclub;

"I say! Lieutenant Colonel Sanderson, my brothers and I have been waiting here for several days! When can we have our fill? It's so frustrating!"

Only loud complaints could be heard in this conference room, which was originally used to entertain partners or provide customized services to wealthy people.

The one who was complaining was a very strong and tall Space Wolf who was sitting on a sofa that did not match his body shape.

The true identity of this wild wolf is the captain of the 14th Company of Space Wolves.

Logan Sigurd.

In addition to this Wild Wolf Captain, there were several advance teams, investigators, a team leader of the special operations team of the Investigation Department, and a stupid AI whose virtual image was presented using hard light projection.

Lieutenant Colonel Gary "Xiao Qiang" Sanderson stood at a shorter conference table, browsing the structural diagram of Argos and the information compiled by the stupid AI through the full-screen.

"."

Hearing Logan's complaints, Xiaoqiang just glanced at him without explaining much.

"Captain Sigurd."

However, the avatar was a female, stupid AI wearing an Imperial Army uniform, but she replied in a cold voice:

"We need to choose the best time to attack together in order to maximize the benefits of this operation, so Captain Sigurd please be patient and wait for a while."

"Tsk."

Seeing that he was being "lectured" by the stupid AI, Logan immediately wanted to speak back.

But Logan finally endured it. There was no need for him to argue with a "brainless" guy.

The stupid AIs are not really stupid. They can also communicate with people and control the entire frigate or destroyer to fight alone.

They just can't have self-awareness that is infinitely close to that of humans, or the ability to think independently like intelligent AI.

There's no way, the process of making them does not include scanning of dead or living brains.

As for the fact that Riemann was able to secure for the Space Wolves the opportunity to unify the new universe for the first time after the establishment of the Human Empire, it was naturally related to Riemann's "shameless" attitude.

Riemann first greeted Fulgrim and Angron, with whom he was close, and then negotiated with Mortarion and Corax on the basis of his brother's status. Finally, he was able to deploy the 14th Regiment, which had "poorer" equipment and warships, to the "One Five" universe to gain military merit.

At this time, Xiaoqiang, through the information sorted out by the stupid AI, has already come up with a detailed plan to control Argos and eliminate dissidents.

Wait a little.

Xiao Qiang, who was used to being silent, finally opened his mouth and gave an order: "Two hours later, Team 1 will raid the Governor's Mansion and capture Governor Wang Chuanyue and all officials in the Governor's Mansion with minimal force.

Team 2 will go to the surface base of the Colonial Marines and capture them using minimal force, taking control of the Marine destroyers anchored in the starport.

And the mercenaries of Weyland Tangu, and the base of the suspected cult organization."

Xiao Qiang paused for a moment and looked at Logan who was sitting on the sofa:

"Leave it to Captain Sigurd's company. At the same time, you are also the main force of this operation. You must eliminate all threats in the shortest possible time."

"Ha! I can finally let go and do something big!"
