Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Glass failed to get the answer he wanted from Schneizel, or the answer could not bring him any useful help.

Glass returned to the chair and sat down: "Shizhen Xiaoyun and Law Lu Cruze are both from Dawn Industries, but the difference in their work styles is really big. It is difficult to deal with this Cruze. "Coping" reveals a strong sense of a mysterious conspirator from beginning to end, but as long as you deal with it carefully, you can find room for maneuver no matter what the situation is. "

"But Zhen Xiaoyun was completely different at that time. You couldn't even imagine what he would do or say. He was extremely courageous and had no bottom line. He came to the fleet to create Shuguang and swallowed LAI in a short period of time. He also killed his former assistant. Kanmishima Leon, either follow him or always be on guard against him causing trouble. He can often directly block the situation and make people have to agree with his thoughts and actions. Once, twice or three times, he inexplicably falls for this guy's thieves. Boat."

Schneizel remained calm and didn't seem to care about Glass's sighs that seemed to be muttering to himself.

Glass suddenly looked at Schneizel and said, "There seems to be no news from Mr. Bilula during this period."

Schneizel said: "Mr. Bilula is undergoing an operation recently."

Glass was a little surprised and asked with concern: "Are you sick?"

Schneizel said: "I don't know the specific situation inside, but it shouldn't be a serious problem."

"That's right." Glass nodded and said, "You were recommended by Mr. Bilula. Many people also approve of your succession to the position of assistant officer. I have never asked you about the relationship between you and Mr. Bilula. ”

Schneizel bent down slightly: "Your Excellency, President, you are overthinking it. I don't have a deep relationship with Mr. Birula, and I am not familiar with it myself. My identity is first and foremost the assistant officer of Frontier, and secondly, other things. I am very I understand that in this position I should be responsible for Frontier and put the interests of the fleet as the first priority, and only in this way can the interests of everyone in the fleet be guaranteed.”

Glass was noncommittal and asked: "What agreement did Shizhen Xiaoyun reach with Mr. Bilula, and why did Mr. Bilula support Shuguang in swallowing LAI."

Schneizel said: "I only know that it is a new type of ship engine. It is a new type of hyperspace navigation technology that is completely different from FOLD jump. This technology does not have the shortcomings of the current FOLD jump. It is faster, has a longer jump distance, and will not be affected by FOLD jump." There are too many faults. Sugon is only responsible for providing technology and Mr. Birula will be responsible for all other aspects. The Central United Army also received part of the shares of this new enterprise. "

Glass glanced at Schneizel with a slightly surprised look, and then said with satisfaction: "The new hyperspace engine, so that's it. According to what you said, this is really an incredible new technology. I have never done it. After understanding the origins of Dawn, why it was able to produce these strange technologies, and also had so many excellent technicians and powerful combatants, I once thought that Dawn was actually a hand sent by the central government. "

Schneizel said: "I'm not sure. Although I was a member of the centrally integrated secret service force, I was not born in Eden and have never been to Eden."

Glass looked at Schneizel and reminded thoughtfully: "Is that so? You have to remember that Frontier is an autonomous ship group after all, and there is a parliament that maintains the rules of the ship group."

Now Glass feels that he understands the origin of Schneizel. He feels that Schneizel was sent here because of this new technology. His task is to assist the establishment of the new factory and safeguard the interests of the new factory. So When I think about it, it's not surprising why Bilula would recommend such a sudden person to become an auxiliary officer and get the support of so many people.

But then again, Glass also didn't understand: "This Rau Lu Cruze seems to have suddenly appeared in the ship group. Have you ever investigated what happened?"

Schneizel said: "Shuguang Heavy Industry seemed to be engaged in some businesses that could not see the light of day, and it had many channels that outsiders could not fathom. Moreover, we have not conducted any review of Sugon Industry's current self-used ports. What's more, Sugon Industries has now mastered FOLD's new jump engine and has used it on their fighters, and their actions are even more uncontrollable."

"During the period when Shi Zhen Xiao Yun was missing, Shuguang needed someone to take charge of the affairs here and maintain the situation. As far as I know, Regeni Rejeta is only the person in charge of external affairs in the business and does not have the skills to handle the PMC aspect at all. There are other people inside the command factory who are dealing with technical issues. In order to keep the situation secret, it is very likely that someone will be found to take over. This Kruse is probably Sugon’s second-in-command.”

Glass pondered: "It seems that he is not just the second person. Is there any conflict between these two people?"

Schneizel said: "It's difficult to investigate if it's not clear. People at Dawn are cautious in their actions and strict in their words. It's impossible to know the true situation of Dawn from anyone there, except for those things that Dawn itself has exposed now." We know next to nothing about them.”

"Hmm." Glass lit a cigar and leaned on the chair. He said for a long time: "Ask the verification results of those videos. We must be more cautious in everything we do next in these troubled times. Frontier must not be allowed to become a pawn of any party. He Dao, you must always pay attention to the movements of Shuguang and the investigation team to ensure the safety of Lanhua Li. Also, you can go to the combat meeting that will start tomorrow on my behalf. "

"yes."

One day passed. Early in the morning, Cruze was dressed in a white suit and waited with Regeni outside the conspicuous building within the Shuguang Heavy Factory area. Not long after, Shirley walked out wearing a hat and sunglasses. Walked out.

"Good morning Mr. Regeni, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Regeni bent down and said, "Good morning, Miss Shirley Lu. We have just arrived. If there are no other questions, we can set off."

"Yes." Cruze just nodded slightly as a greeting, raised his hand to signal the convoy, and then drove over from the roadside and stopped near the three of them.

Cruze opened the car door for Shirley Lu: "Miss Shirley Lu, please."

"Thanks."

Shirley Lu sat in the back seat of the car and Cruze closed the door and sat in the passenger seat, while Regeni came to the main driver's seat and replaced the original driver.

In the car, Kruse said: "Miss Shirley, today's meeting is a combat meeting against the discovered insect nest. You and Orchid Li will be the core of this trial operation, but the main force is Orchid Li. If everything goes well, Ms. Shirley Lou, you don’t need to play. Of course, the best thing is, Miss Shirley Lu, you don’t need to play.”

Shirley Lu nodded silently.

Regeni said: "Miss Shirley, I don't want you to sing for the sake of your health. Master Xiao Yun gave an order not to let you sing before leaving, but I believe that Miss Shirley, you will be able to sing again soon." Take the stage and become the galactic fairy once again."

Shirley showed a forced smile: "Thank you."

Cruze smiled faintly: "If Ms. Shirley finds it troublesome during the meeting, you don't have to answer any questions. I will handle the rest. My suggestion is not to say anything and let me answer all the questions."

"I know, I will pay attention." Shirley nodded and asked hesitantly: "Did he say when he would come back."

"It may take a few days."

Dawn PMC, S.M.S., the investigation team, and the ship group sat at a conference table together. Sitting on both sides were Schneizel and Franco.

In fact, in this exploratory operation, Sugon PMC and S.M.S are both employed parties. They will naturally do whatever the employer tells them to do. On the surface, this operation is led by the ship group and the investigation group, but it can be However, if we want to take action, we cannot avoid Dawn, so the real leadership of this combat meeting is actually with Dawn. If it feels inappropriate, Kruse will also use his veto power to renegotiate better combat arrangements.

The first step in the combat plan given by the investigation team is the standard plan for coverage with reactive bombs and ground-washing missiles. The primary goal is to reduce the number of insect swarms, and let Orchid Li sing during the battle to screen the reaction of vajra.

But when this plan was proposed, Kruzezhen directly and decisively vetoed it: "Such a plan is too risky. Our goal is to screen whether there is really a possibility of communication between vajra, so I think direct friendly contact should be avoided as much as possible. Conflict would be a more appropriate method, and what we need to send are singing weapons rather than reaction bombs.”

Schneizel raised his hand: "Mr. Kruse can tell you more specifically."

Kruse continued: "After releasing the singing weapon, let the orchid start singing, and then respond according to the reaction of vajra. According to our existing research at Dawn, each independent individual of vajra has its own thoughts and souls, but relatively On the whole, their individual consciousness is not as distinct as that of humans. The overall consciousness is more unified. Unless special individuals, it is difficult to understand the complex individual thoughts of humans, but if the singing of Orchid Plum can allow us to reach mutual understanding with vajra, It’s certainly better to understand rather than rely on reactive bombs.”

Franco frowned slightly: "Then you mean that everyone must become Orchid Li's bodyguards, but how wide the influence of singing is, how close Orchid Li needs to be, and whether the singing weapons we spread will cause vajra The chain reaction will cause us to lose the opportunity. Should we follow up? What if the follow-up results is not peace but war."

"There is no need for a large force to follow up." Kruse said lightly: "Since we want to communicate, we must adopt a communication attitude. I said that vajra is thoughtful. Until now, the vajra larvae within Dawn Heavy Industry have not shown any signs of communication. He showed hostility towards humans, but also showed friendliness and obedience to our researchers.”

"The approach of a large force will only make vajra uneasy. If Commodore Franco is worried, then we, Dawn, can be responsible for this part. Once attacked, the rear fleet can also deal with it calmly."

Franco sneered: "Since Shuguang has this confidence, you will be the vanguard, but Orchid Li cannot do that. Orchid Li must be at the rear and you need to protect the safety of the Singing Armed Forces."

Cruze knocked on the table lightly: "What Brigadier General Franco means is that Orchid Li must accept your protection, is that what he means?"

Franco said solemnly: "My point is already obvious. Orchid plum is related to the safety of human beings in the future and must be protected by us."

"Sorry, this can't be done." Kruse chuckled and said, "Orchid Li is an employee of Sugon, so of course it should be protected by Sugon. This is also the expression of Orchid Li's own will."

Captain Jeffrey, the S.M.S representative who had been silent, began to express his position: "S.M.S will also assist Dawn PMC."

Kruse turned his head and smiled at Jeffrey, who nodded and said nothing more.

It’s not surprising that Jeffrey would make such a statement. After all, Orchid Li and S.M.S also have a deep connection. Jeffrey will definitely not let Orchid Li be in danger in public or private matters, and Jeffrey is also aware of the current situation in his heart. Remaining suspicious, it is better to stay under Shuguang's protection than to let Orchid Li fall into the hands of the investigation team. After all, Orchid Li has never had any problems under Shuguang's protection for so long.

But if something goes wrong after Orchid Li is handed over to the investigation team, maintaining the current situation temporarily is of course the best choice for the entire situation.

Schneizel also spoke: "The fleet will also contribute to this. In this case, Orchid Li will continue to stay at Dawn. Mr. Kruse, can you confirm that your warship will be completed within the scheduled time. "

"No problem." Cruze smiled slightly and said: "And we also have a trump card to ensure that vajra will not attack our ships. By observing the larvae of vajra, we found that this race is a very united race."

Schneizel made the final decision: "I am looking forward to the next performance of Dawn. If all goes well, the biggest threat that mankind will face now may become our new friend. I also hope that this trial can have the best ending. Brigadier General Ranko, that’s it.”

Franco snorted: "Humph, you have already decided that there is no need to ask me what I mean."

Schneizel said: "Then we can invite the two singers to come in. Mr. Kruse, have you communicated with them?"

Cruze smiled slightly: "Of course, Orchid Li will be the most critical core of this operation, and Shirley Lu will be a backup just in case. If necessary, the two singers will sing the song of peace together." Song."

When Shirley Lu and Orchid Li came in, Franco frowned slightly as he looked at these two singers who were probably the only two singers who could influence vajra and become the bridge between humans and vajra. It was really too much. Being passive, everything important is in Shuguang's hands. This is really too passive. (End of chapter)
