A few minutes later, under the guidance of the affairs officer, Zhang Lisheng walked into the administrative command building of the New York military base, walked through the long corridor and took the elevator down to the negative tenth floor. After a while, he came to a viewing room in the underground part of the huge base. Like an ordinary office.
As soon as he entered the door, a burly, middle-aged officer stood up from his office chair and reached out to him, "Hello Dr. Zhang, I am Nori Fogg, the commander of the federal Noah military base. I know you very well." pleasure."
"Hello Commander Nori, I am also very honored to meet you." The young man finally showed a relaxed expression, quickly stepped forward and held the base commander's hand, and asked with a smile: "Last time I came to Noah Military Base I remember that Lieutenant General Joeis was still the supreme commander, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't see him today.
General Joyce, have you retired? "
"Yes, Lieutenant General Joeis just retired at the beginning of this year. Are you familiar with him?"
"Oh, I'm not familiar with it but I'm impressed. General Joyce is a very lovely old man and a respectable federal soldier. Unfortunately, the current situation is so bad that it will be difficult for him to return to his hometown of Cobo, Minnesota after retirement. I wish to live in seclusion in the wheat field." Zhang Lisheng replied with a smile.
"Oh, you are wrong, Doctor. After retiring, General Joyce gave up the opportunity to retire in Noah's World and has returned to Minnesota, the old state of the Federation." Nori said with a smile.
"In such a chaotic situation, did he still check and complete his 'retirement plan'? This is a very unexpected choice. It seems that I am missing one thing in my evaluation of Lieutenant General Joeis, a brave warrior. "Zhang Lisheng was stunned. said with a shrug.
"He is indeed a warrior." The base commander nodded with deep sympathy. A few words of small talk made the two strangers in the room, who were completely different and strangers to each other, become more harmonious.
But then Nori stared closely at the young man's face and said something in a low voice, which made the atmosphere in the room become solemn again, "You are right, doctor, but now it seems that Lieutenant General Joeis The choice doesn't matter anymore, does it?
There is no essential difference between ¡®Noah¡¯ and Minnesota. "
Zhang Lisheng's expression changed and he was silent for a few seconds. He looked back at Joes and sighed and said, "Did the most terrifying consequences that I speculated really happen, that all the space gates on the earth collapse? General?" "
"Yes, Doctor. I have just received a notification from the federal government. Except for the inexplicable disappearance of the space gate of the 'Ocean Shrimp World No. 1', and the world behind the gate has been isolated from the earth again, the space gates of other worlds have collapsed. In other words, more than 900 'different worlds' are now fully connected with the earth.
Fortunately, after breaking through the atmosphere at high altitude. Those ¡®other worlds¡¯ will all disappear. The earth is still an elliptical sphere, so the connection between the old federal states and the central government has not been severed. "
"Although I had a premonition for a long time, this all really happened. The earth has indeed returned to the era of the 'big world', which is still unacceptable." After listening to the base commander's brief introduction, the young man pretended He let out a long sigh and blurted out.
¡°The Great World is a very strange term,¡± Nori showed a curious expression, ¡°What does it mean to return to the era of the ¡®Great World¡¯?
¡°There is also the reason why the space gate of ¡®Hai Xia No. 1 World¡¯ disappeared. You were not on Wuli Island at the time"
"I'm sorry, General Joeis, I can't explain more to you about the 'Great World', and the same is true for the disappearance of the space gate of the 'Ocean Shrimp World No. 1'.
I can only say this. Please help me provide a suborbital spacecraft as soon as possible. I want to rush back to the White House immediately. "
"It seems that you know a lot of secrets that I don't know, doctor." Nori frowned displeased, pondered for a few seconds, and said meaningfully: "Okay, I will prepare a spaceship for you right away and send it to you. Return to Noah's world.
All actions will be very secret and will be carried out according to daily transportation tasks. "I picked up the phone on my desk and personally sent Zhang Lisheng to board an armed transport aircraft that could fly in suborbital space.
A few seconds later, the plane slowly took off. Looking at the increasingly smaller and taller figure of the federal general from the cabin window, Zhang Lisheng felt that everything was going smoothly according to the planned 'script', but an unknown feeling arose in Zhang Lisheng's heart. I had a premonition and couldn't help but start thinking about possible accidents.
"Doctor, using suborbital flight, we can reach Mexico, the old federal state, in half an hour at most. Then we can descend into the atmosphere and fly for about fifteen minutes to reach Noah's World's New Washington Military Base." The accompanying officer said Seeing the young man's nervous expression, he kindly comforted him.
But Zhang Lisheng was speechless for a long time, looking out the window without turning his head and speeding up the process.The blank clouds turned into the scenery of the vast starry sky. It was not until the spacecraft entered the earth's space orbit and began to sail parallel that he murmured: "Mr. Lieutenant, I'm afraid our voyage is not as easy as you think."
"What do you mean" the officer asked the young man in surprise. Before he finished speaking, he saw through the cabin window that in addition to the huge, shining stars, a spindle shape suddenly appeared in the dark space environment. light.
No longer able to ask questions, the young federal lieutenant lost his voice and said: "Light energy battleships, hundreds of light energy battleships, that are the fleet of the Atlanteans. They, they seem to be surrounding our spaceship"
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like it, but it has already surrounded us.
But no matter what these red-haired guys are trying to do this time, they are destined to be disappointed. "As the spacecraft came to an abrupt stop, Zhang Lisheng stood up expressionlessly, stroking the belt around his waist with a hint of ferocious light in his eyes.
At the same time, in the cockpit of the spacecraft, hundreds of control light spots were flashing densely in the lower part, and in front of the screen showing real-life surveillance outside the ship in the upper part, there was a man with thick lips, dark skin, and a straight suit. A tall middle-aged man in federal military uniform, carrying an eagle with spread wings on his shoulders, roared angrily: "They actually surrounded the federal government's spacecraft that was performing a military mission.
Is the commander of this Atlantis fleet crazy? This is declaring war on Milicia, declaring war" After shouting here, he suddenly choked, his face changed drastically and he was stunned for a few seconds, and murmured: "Declaring war, are those aliens really going to declare war on the earth? "
"Captain Francisco, even if the Atlanteans suddenly declared war on the Earth, they would not attack space targets like us immediately.
This must be a mistake." The adjutant next to the black captain saw the superior's incompetent speculation and said hurriedly: "Or there is a special situation. We should immediately contact the commander of the alien fleet surrounding us and eliminate it as soon as possible. Misunderstand.
We must not let the situation continue to get serious. "
"You're right, Holtby, you're right." The black captain took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and ordered to the spacecraft communications officer: "Corradi, get in touch with the alien fleet immediately, and say Millican." New York Military Base' Air Force Colonel Francisco Ward wants to talk to their commander."
"Yes, Colonel." The communications officer replied loudly and urgently, swiping his fingers on the operating screen in front of him, and was about to click on the communication channel that the federal military and 'Atlantis' had already agreed upon, but he saw Suddenly a request option for a call appeared on the screen, and he hurriedly reported: "Colonel, the Atlantis fleet has requested to contact us in advance."
"Contact allowed." Hearing the alien's preemptive request for contact, the black captain felt an uneasy premonition in his heart. Then he saw the screen in front of him change, and a familiar and delicate face flashed across, and he said in surprise: "Ai Captain Renthall, it¡¯s you"
"Good afternoon, Colonel Francisco," the Atlantis avatar on the screen showed a smiling expression and nodded, "It is a pity to meet you as the fleet commander under such circumstances."
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about regrets or not, Captain,¡± Francisco asked with a surprised expression that didn¡¯t dissipate for a long time: ¡°Why did you suddenly surround us?
??And the fleet you command should not be composed of Atlantis warships stationed at the "New York Military Base", why? "
"It's very simple, Colonel Francisco. This morning, the Atlantis fleet command stationed at the 'New York Sergeant Base' lost an important document. I request other fleets to conduct a survey of the entire New York area, from space to underground passages." All-round blockade, the commander is of course me, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you.¡± Ellen Saul explained simply.
"Join other fleets to blockade New York in all directions, Captain Ellensor, who allowed you to do this without the authorization of the federal government." Francisco said angrily.
"No one allowed it, but the situation is urgent and I have to do it." After giving a barely passable reason, the Atlantis captain seemed to have exhausted his patience and said with a straight face: "Anyway, I want to check all the people leaving." Transportation in the 'Greater New York Area', whether it's cars, ships, trains or airships."
"I am performing a military mission. If you insist on doing this, you must bear all the serious consequences." After hearing the hidden meaning of Ellen Saul's words, Francisco was stunned for a while, his face turned pale. said.
¡°You don¡¯t need to remind Colonel Francisco, I was already prepared to bear all the consequences before the blockade of New York.¡± The face on the spacecraft control screen said in a cold tone:"I will immediately open the 'receiving channel' of the fleet flagship and ask you to drive the spacecraft into the cabin for inspection.
By the way, I'll give you a little warning. I know that the 'Neptune Crab' is not just an ordinary transport aircraft, but also has certain offensive and defensive capabilities, but that level of armed force cannot be achieved by a star-level Atlantis. It's just a trivial joke in front of the fleet, please don't take the chance.
If there are no abnormalities, we will let you go soon. "(To be continued)
