Chapter 615 - 186: Hostages? (Part 2)
Admiral Bai’s eyes were cold; under no circumstance could the Insect Man succeed. If they did, they would engrave this method into the shared database exclusive to their mother body.That would be the end of humanity.
"What about Blue Star’s security command?"
No one knew where the colonel had gone; he was missing even before the alarm went off.
"Could he be trapped in the space station?"
"The space station hasn’t been blocked; it’s still able to receive messages from others. If he’s inside, he should respond promptly."
He could very well have fled the battle, become a deserter, or perhaps even played a role in this attack.
Admiral Bai said, "Then forget about him; I am the commander-in-chief of this operation."
A total of five million soldiers can be mobilized.
Five million soldiers seem like a lot, but the number of Mecha Masters is only about one hundred thousand.
Others belong to aircraft carrier crew, ground forces, ground-to-air units, as well as fighter jet and drone operators.
One hundred thousand Mecha Masters is the largest number of forces that can be mobilized now.
The price of mecha couldn’t go down before, nor were there enough training facilities for the soldiers.
This situation might improve in the future, but that’s a discussion for later.
Since the Insect Man learned the hostage policy, they have undoubtedly learned many other things.
The whole Ten Star knows about the competition matter.
Admiral Bai and Vice Admiral Bai are too clear about what those rats think.
Destroying Blue Star, losing control of the borders, the benefits are visibly evident.
Resources will be plundered, military morale will sharply decrease, public trust will plummet... a series of side effects.
Even worse, if neighboring countries incite the Insect Man to attack, then losing control won’t be the end.
As Admiral Bai put it, Imperial People are ambitious bastards, carrying baskets full of crap, with a slew of bad ideas.
Let’s not talk about how many disadvantages come once control is lost.
Admiral Bai and Vice Admiral Bai are both in identical states, thinking about how to resolve this crisis. He commanded: "Ascertain the mother body’s exact location, the Insect Man Warrior is to be handled by leaders of Major General rank and above..."
Admiral Bai had already activated his mecha, ready to support at any time.
At this moment, the Deputy Director of the space station requested to speak with Admiral Bai.
Admiral Bai agreed.
The Deputy Director of the space station immediately begged for help, "Mr. Bai, save us. Today we’ve invited experts like Ai Shengping, now what should we do..."
Noisy.
"Find someone else who can speak properly, then contact again." Admiral Bai impatiently hung up, saying nonsense.
The Deputy Director was stunned, wondering why Admiral Bai didn’t let him finish.
For good reason, what he said was nonsense, wasting time.
"Contact other people; I need to know the situation inside the space station, what the heck is this Deputy Director."
And the matter with the professor?
Admiral Bai didn’t want to hear any report from an idiot; instead, he turned to ask Colonel Yuan what was going on.
The Deputy Director looked in despair at the Insect Man, hefting his big belly, wondering if this fat was just going to be a cheap meal for the Insect Man. He had mistresses and a dozen children waiting for him to support.
His brain, perpetually empty, thought aimlessly about many things.
The control room door suddenly swung open.
"Get out." The former director led several security guards to detain the Deputy Director.
"You... what do you want to do? Why are you here? You’re already reassigned, unqualified to manage space station matters," said the Deputy Director.
"Do you think I want to manage? I was on leave, wanting to see the kids’ competition. It’s only because I know you’re a worthless ’thing’ I came here. Life or death, no one wants to pay for your stupidity."
"You’re just the former director, no right to manage, get out," the Deputy Director glared angrily.
"Go back and forth with the same words, and at this time, what can a waste like you do? Can’t even memorize space regulations, a complete moron. Space station regulation article 100: In times of war, if the station director and deputy director cannot respond to the commander-in-chief, personnel who understand space station operations or have related work experience may report." The two heads of the space station are the most susceptible to bribery, and the former director was forceful, making many enemies.
Three-year rotation time arrived, resulting in a quiet demotion to the ground logistics department.
The Deputy Director could take the role only because he stepped down, allowing someone with intentions to manipulate space.
Letting such people eat without shame from taxpayers worried the former director about corruption.
No need to worry now, with the Deputy Director’s mistake as a demonstration, as long as victory is secured, there will be a major political reshuffle on Blue Star.
The former director contacted Admiral Bai again, sending a message to declare his identity.
