Fortress Howe Forward Base, Command Center Conference Room.
Raynor, Tychus and Angela were looking at the holographic sand table that projected the entire battlefield terrain and thinking.
After the brave fighting of the "Demons of Heaven" special forces, this forward base, which was established to break the siege of Howe Fortress by the Minmatar army, withstood several sieges and finally persisted tenaciously.
The troops had to adjust their offensive and modify several attack routes that could be attacked from behind at any time.
This means that the Minmatar Army's "Carnival" operation that started on February 2 completely failed. After the two sides played each other's trump cards, they returned to the original stalemate. Even the Howe Fortress had a slight advantage. Fan
For this reason, Lieutenant Colonel Despur specially communicated with Renault, praised him greatly, and directly promoted him to second lieutenant, asking him to guard this bridgehead.
In this regard, Renault just wanted to say, ignorance is good.
Because he had been warned by Nova, he immediately began to investigate the intelligence of Howe Fortress after repelling the Minmatar attack, especially the recent arrival of "support" from the Terran Federation.
This is the front line of Minmatar defense. There is only one direction to be wary of. No matter how vigilant the commander and intelligence department of Howe Fortress are, they would never think of checking "their own people", even if they find the arriving personnel and the weapons and equipment they have sent.
If there are more than what is on the roster and supply list, it will only be considered a benefit from the rear.
However, after conducting a targeted investigation based on the assumption that "the Tyranid Federation intends to destroy Fortress Hawei", Renault found that... the current situation of Fortress Hawei is so critical that it is like sitting on an oil drum, just click on one
The matches can go directly to the sky.
The dangerous situation at the beginning of the siege was simply caused by the traitors. They only waited for the enemy to drive in before launching their attack, destroying both sides of the battle in one fell swoop.
At that time, the Minmatar side will naturally think that the commander of Howe Fortress brazenly blew himself up, and will only regard the Terran Federation's subsequent accusation that they used nuclear bombs as a low-level smear method, and will simply ignore it and take the initiative to do so.
Take this responsibility on your back.
Then, when they continued to attack the Amada star field and found that the pot was getting heavier and heavier inexplicably, they could no longer get rid of it.
However, at this point, something happened that the insiders did not expect: Renault laid down the Minmatar advance base, turned around and built his own base, and stubbornly blocked the Minmatar advance base.
One week after the offensive, the original attack sequence against Howe Fortress had to be withdrawn.
This is embarrassing. If the ghosts that sneak in now detonate nuclear bombs, the effect will be very bad. Moreover, no matter how stupid the Minmatar side is, they will not admit or acquiesce that they did it. If this matter becomes big, it will be very harmful to me here.
For the Terran Federation, which did not receive support in this war, it was nothing more than worsening the situation.
As a result, they have only one choice: to get rid of this unsightly forward base and get things back on track.
Therefore, these "materials" that were sent by Fortress Hawei on their own initiative and whose specifications clearly exceeded the regulations were accepted by Renault without ceremony. As for the extra people, they could just find any excuse to send them back.
"Even if you see through this, we still have no solution," Tychus raised his hand and touched his bald head: "Not to mention how to make the lieutenant colonel believe our words and how to source the information, he
Even if you completely trust us, as long as you start an investigation or there are abnormal transfers and specific instructions, you will definitely be noticed."
"Then, we must arrange the plan and make everything very natural and normal." Renault nodded.
"What about the plan?"
"Still thinking."
"..."
Dong Dong.
While Renault and Tychus were staring at each other, Angela knocked on the table to signal that she wanted to speak: "I can summon those who are still at Fortress Howe in the name of 'there are a large number of injured people who can practice in the forward base'.
Sisters."
"Oh, this is good." Tychus rubbed his hands.
Renault ignored Tychus's strange actions: "It is true that the all-female medics are more trustworthy than the men in the fortress who don't know who are the traitors, but the fundamental problem has not changed: What will happen to the brother troops in Fortress Howe?"
Rescue? How do we leave this planet after the rescue?”
"Let the starport build some stealth aircraft? Go to the fortress and rob people and run away?" Tychus put forward a suggestion that was similar to that of a bandit.
"The Ghost fighter cannot enter the universe. Even if it could, the stealth method would be ineffective in space." Reno shook his head.
"I think we can change our thinking," Angela put her chin on her hands, thoughtfully: "If we want to launch 'Apocalypse' to destroy the entire fortress, the spies themselves should not be left behind. We should strengthen the personnel control."
If they find that many people have disappeared for no apparent reason before the Minmatars come, it means they are going to take action."
"The problem is that we have to hold on here before an abnormality occurs, and it won't take much time from the beginning of their actions to the results. We need a means to quickly reach Howe Fortress, and to be able to take off immediately and enter the universe to carry passengers.
A warship large enough to carry all the natural people in the fortress." Renault replied.
"Arrived quickly? What method did you use to throw me out before?" Tychus touched his bald head again.
"Orbital airdrop...orbital airdrop?" After Renault answered, he suddenly thought of something and repeated it again.
"Theoretically, the command center's 'orbital airdrop' can deliver passengers to any area controlled by one's side, including the base camp of course." Angela was the first to figure it out.
"After an abnormal situation occurred, we 'parachuted' directly back to Fortress Howe, used the facts to convince the lieutenant colonel, and allowed all natural persons to leave on his destroyer." Renault added.
"The operations of the two base command centers are all handed over to their respective adjutants, and the fighting is all left to the clones. They may not be the opponents of the Minmatar, but they are more than enough to deceive the spies who leave in a hurry." Angela continued.
.
"If the Minmatar commander is a fool and still insists on pressing forward with his army after noticing something unusual, hehe," Tychus finally found the opportunity to interject: "Then give them a hard slap."
"I'm thinking about whether to give them a hint. After all, the enemy's enemy may be..." Renault was still hesitating.
"[Our building is under attack.]"
"[Our troops are under attack.]"
"[Our troops are at war.]"
The screen switched to show a new group of Minmatar troops attacking the outer defenses of the advancing base, and the adjutant quickly issued relevant prompts.
