"Chiefs of the United Earth Council! Don't shoot - don't shoot!"
Unexpectedly, before Mike could praise Donnie's generous sacrifice, the other party turned to look at UNN broadcaster Max Spear and the entire camera crew behind him who were raising their hands in the air:
"Mr. Spear, did that damn camera record my heroic demeanor of being so loyal and courageous that I don't care about death?"
For a moment, Spear couldn't react. But Spear was a sharp-thinking person after all. He stared into Dorney's eyes and said: "For God's sake, I really hope that camera was blown up just now."
We are still recording, but there is little hope.”
"...My life was hanging by a thread just now!" Donnie said a series of curse words, and when he turned to face the Earth soldiers, he put on a flattering smile.
"Sir, let me show you the way."
Donny Vermilion is a contradictory person. This selfish guy cherishes his life extremely and is willing to give up some valuable qualities for this purpose, but he is also willing to take risks in order to get ahead.
"What a pity. I was just about to fulfill your perseverance and make you go down in history." The power armor of the UED expeditionary force officer did not have any unit logo or rank mark. He was probably a veteran who had served for many years.
, with ease and ease on the battlefield.
"While there is still time, thank and praise your God, for in the future no religion will be banned in the territories governed by the United Earth Council."
Mike resisted the desire to complain, and together with Spear and other unn, he followed the instructions of the UED soldiers and stood against the wall, while Donnie, who forced a smile on his face, got the opportunity to lead the way for the earth's invaders.
To be honest, many federal people have strong feelings of resistance and hatred towards the UED expeditionary force. They would rather die than surrender. Most of these people are educated young people and elites.
Others believe that being ruled by Earthlings will never be worse than the current federal government. They hope that Earth with more advanced technology and ideas can bring some changes to the stagnant Federation.
As for Donny, he is used to praising greatness, power and conquest, and he does not like people on earth.
There is always a contrast, and the Tarsonis are always compromises. When someone tells them that the rebels are about to rule Tarsonis, they will be afraid that it will evolve into a brutal and unbridled military government. They think that the Korhal people
It is unacceptable for unorthodox Tarsonis to govern the Terran Federation.
But when the people from the earth came, they felt that the rebels were also pleasing to their eyes.
At this time, more soldiers wearing gray power armor came up through the stairs. Their number was roughly equivalent to a standard 50-man combat platoon. They also carried weapons such as rail guns and electromagnetic cannons, but they were obviously from
Seized from the hands of the Terran Federation.
Some soldiers are equipped with modified C-series electromagnetic rifles. The sights and bayonet on them are very different from those in the hands of the federal army.
About two squads of soldiers passed over Mike and others and continued to walk through the winding stairs to the higher floors of the UNN headquarters building. They seemed to be sure that there were no other enemies in this building.
"There should be a backup generator in this building, Corporal Hardman, take someone to start it." The UED officer waved his hand: "We need to get the equipment here back to normal as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir."
"Um, is the battle over? I mean, have you taken Tarsonis?" Duny asked cautiously.
"The main force of the Tyranid Federation has been defeated." Officer Ued said with pride: "The outcome of this war has been doomed from the beginning."
He didn't actually need to say so much to Dhoni, but that just proved that the people on earth might be about to win.
It's hard to imagine how they defeated the huge Federation fleet in the outer orbit of Tarsonis, and there were more than 20 million Federation guardsmen on the planet's surface.
Although it includes regular federal troops, recently recruited reserves, forced conscripts and even police forces, as well as additional volunteers from its vast colonies. The training and equipment of these people are problematic, but
It is still an extremely large force, equivalent to one-two hundredth of the current total population of Tarsonis.
Considering the chaos in the Federation's military command, the actual number of troops invested was far less. After the Federation's information network was completely destroyed, it was the UED Expeditionary Force Command that actually issued orders to the Tarsonis defenders.
Many division-level and even corps-level troops received strange orders to leave their bases almost from the beginning. Many hours after the war started, they still didn't know what happened.
The federal army that actually entered the battlefield was quickly defeated by the elite wings of the hybrid and UED. Their headquarters was often destroyed by the superior air firepower of the Earth Army not long after the war began, and the federal fleet had obviously already
A complete failure.
"Lead the way, where is the studio in this building?" he said to Dhoni.
"The studio is in the basement, and the top of the building is where the high-rise offices are, and above that are the signal transmission towers and data transmission base stations." Doni explained.
"The signals in Tarsonis are now subject to strong interference. Even if these devices are restored to work, it will be difficult to send any news to the outside world." Another UNN staff member said:
"Tarsonis was interfered by a strong electromagnetic pulse wave, which almost paralyzed the entire city's communications. If the radio signal is strong enough, it can break through this interference. There is such equipment in the headquarters building, but it
It's not working as expected."
Even now, other Federation colonies only know that Tarsonis is under siege by the UED expeditionary force, but know nothing about the actual situation.
"This is none of your business -" the ued officer interrupted.
Just at this moment, a sharp, frightening roar came from the city outside, and Mike bet that it was also mixed with screams that were heartbreaking.
Mike had never heard such a sound before. He had once obtained an audio clip from the roar of the guardian of the zerg nest. The scream from the terrifying alien seemed to come from some kind of prehistoric ferocious beast.
But this kind of roar is another form, like the sound made when scratching the glass with nails, which makes people's skin crawl and can produce a sense of physical disgust.
"What is that?" Donnie exclaimed.
"The beast in the cage." Officer Ued pushed Duny hard: "You don't want to know what it is. It is the most abominable monster in the universe."
"It sounds like a voice from hell, but it's not a zerg," Spear said. "You hired the devil."
"Shut your mouth, or I will order the medics to sew it up with a nano-suturing gun." The officer ordered again: "Now, let's go to the high-level office. You also follow, and if necessary, what I order you to do
Just do whatever you want.”
So, Mike had to follow these UED soldiers to continue climbing the stairs. He looked as gloomy as his colleagues who were mourning for their wives. No matter what, they were all prisoners now.
Mike and Spear walked together, communicating only with their eyes in the dark. These two journalists, who had experienced great storms, had no confidence in their hearts, but they were sure that they would be able to avert danger as they had done in the past.
The unn headquarters building is more than 60 stories high. Climbing the stairs when the elevator is not working is enough to make Mike breathless. There is a window at every corner of the stairs that overlooks the city center of Tarsonis. The higher the floor, the smaller the view.
the further away.
In this building, the higher the status, the higher the position.
The battlefield outside was still very fierce, and half of the sky was lit up by the fire of artillery, anti-aircraft batteries, arc tanks and Goliath armed robots.
Multiple huge UED Goliath mechas were advancing on the ruined Tarsonis city center park. Each one of them was so shockingly huge that even tall soldiers wearing power armor seemed dwarfed in front of them. That was
A true steel giant, the tremors when the giant mechanical feet hit the ground could be clearly heard in the dark night.
What a magnificent sight it was. Countless giant Goliath robots were advancing on the road, stepping on the bunkers of the federal army. The triangular auxiliary wings behind their cockpits were more like outstretched wings, which made these robots more powerful than tanks.
The huge giant mecha is even more terrifying.
Hundreds of soldiers in power armor marched through the streets and highways. Broken flags, wreckage of tanks and uncollected corpses were piled up in the once prosperous and beautiful city center.
Their opponents were federal troops who were still loyal to the federal government. The defenders in the central city were mainly composed of Marines from Delta and Omega Squadrons, who tenaciously resisted the UED attack on the other side of the city.
The ued may have been able to claim Tarsonis to the outside world, but the fighting is likely to continue well into next month, in the streets and corners of cities, across the wastelands and tundra.
At this time, the Federation has not yet lost the main city of Tarsonis. Even though the command and communication system is greatly restricted, the Federation army is still trying its best to gather troops to launch a counterattack. This means that this army has extremely high quality.
The opponents of the Augustus Revolutionary Army were these people, who were well-trained professional soldiers and dead soldiers who had been re-socialized. To put it bluntly, with only the army in Augustus' hands, they wanted to win
Tarsonis will probably have to develop for another dozen years.
In the flames that soared into the sky with the fleeting light of the explosion, Mike could also get a glimpse of the beauty of the city of Tarsonis in the flames of war.
In the darkness, towering skyscrapers and spiers weave gear-like lines, like the edge of a black forest. The colorful scenic avenues, bifurcated intersections and parking spaces surrounded by greenery in the park have now been replaced by scattered fortification walls and barbed wire.
replace.
There is a wide artificial lake in the center of the park, and the water channel dug in the center is like a clear ribbon, flowing along the avenue. The avenue that stretches for several miles has a majestic momentum, which symbolizes the strength and tolerance of Tarsonis.
, and now it has been destroyed by artillery fire and is in a mess.
There was originally a brass Marine statue in Central Park, which was originally built with money donated to commemorate the children of Union soldiers who died in the Union War. Now, it also collapsed under heavy artillery fire.
Raging fires and thick smoke covered the entire city center, and the acrid smell of gunpowder smoke filled the sky above the city.
The solemn and simple landmark buildings in the city center were silent in the darkness, illuminated by a sudden rain of fire. In the clouds illuminated by the fire, countless wreckage that once belonged to a battlecruiser were falling, among which
Most of them burned out before landing, and those that successfully landed caused fires in urban areas.
In a certain direction, a cornered battlecruiser was falling. Its almost intact huge hull fell into the central city. The white light generated by the explosion swept through several densely populated neighborhoods, with at least 100,000 people.
People die in the flames in a matter of seconds.
Even at this time, Mike still did not believe that Tarsonis would fall. If the most difficult planet in the Tyranid Federation fell into the hands of the UED in less than two days, then it would be difficult for them to capture other colonies.
No problem.
When Mike and Spear stepped onto the top floor of the headquarters building, the UED soldiers who had come from afar were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the high-rise offices. But more people climbed to the open-air platform on the top of the building, where the signal tower is located.
Mike is not ignorant of technology. He knows how to use these amazingly valuable equipment. The signal tower can send data to the nearest star system several light-years away with a strengthened signal. With luck, it will be enough to break through the communication blockade of the UED expeditionary force.
He soon realized that the UED's communications must have been affected by electrical pulse waves, and the communication technology brought by the Earthlings would not be much better than that of the Terran Federation. But no matter what, the Earthlings obviously had their own problems.
The known solution, electrical pulse jamming, does not work on all means of communication.
The typhoon wind on the roof of the unn headquarters building made Mike shiver. He was surprised to find that a light rain began to fall in the sky without realizing it. In the mist and rain, a battlecruiser sailing over the main city of Tarsonis appeared even more dazzling.
It was an iron-gray battlecruiser, and the hull also had the classic hammer-shaped head structure of the Tyranid battleship. At this time, the majestic hull armor of the battleship was flashing with the red light of the warning light, pointing towards the people here.
The people showed their presence in a mighty manner, which also meant that most of the anti-aircraft firepower points in the main city of Tarsonis had been silenced.
This battlecruiser has a prestigious name, Alexander.
Just as UED's golden eagle flag was rising, the soldiers announced that they had occupied the planet in the name of mankind.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you to find a way to get this signal tower working again." The UED officer shouted to Mike.
"No matter what, let this old antique start moving immediately."
"Okay..." Mike saw Doni Vermillion standing dejectedly playing with the tangled cables, and other UNN employees also had different expressions.
After all, Mike is a member of the Pan-Tylan Revolutionary Party. This organization has always had a tendency towards Great Tyranism and will never sit back and watch the Earthlings rule the Tyrannic Federation.
When starting the main control panel of the signal transmission tower, he found Max Spear and said a few words to him while he was working: "We must take this opportunity to spread the news about Tarsonis to let everyone know
Everyone knows what happened here."
"Don't worry, I know a communication channel from the Korhal Revolutionary Army. People on Earth can't safely dominate Tarsonis, even if the Federation has been destroyed."
