A Will Eternal Chapter 348

"Commander, there is an encrypted communication request to access." On the Nord II, the electronic synthesis sound of Edmondo Duke's special AI lieutenant sounded.

"Come in."

Then Duke met Kane.

"Colonel, the feast has already begun, but there is still a gap between you and the banquet. I can build a bridge for you. As long as it works properly, you should be called general next year."

Kane cut to the chase as soon as he came up, grabbing Duke's itch.

Duke didn't show the suspicious, thoughtful traits of most people his age, asking Kane why he wanted to help him, and what he wanted from him. Instead, ask Kane: "What are you going to do?"

"It's already being done." Kane briefly introduced the situation of Josara.

Duke suddenly realized, and then became more and more annoyed. The first direct contact with alien intelligent creatures, and the beginning of it is war. For soldiers, there is really no more valuable performance stage than this, whether it is exposure, challenge Sex is first-class, and the main one who can hand in a fairly beautiful report card will become a hero of the human race. Even as long as you don't lose your standard and play with momentum, even if you can't win, you can get people's understanding.

Duke is like an ant on a hot pot, no, in the words of UNN reporter Michael Liberty who was on board at this time, like a silver-backed gorilla with a prism-shaped head, big and tall, and the top of the head is indeed a bit pointed. Duke, who had gray hair early, always hunched over his body, which made his already slightly long arms look longer, and he did have the majestic posture of a gorilla, especially when he was pacing back and forth.

Kane ignored Duke's anxiety that he wanted to rush to Josara immediately to participate in the war. Self-serving explanation: "Although we all know that the legendary Alpha Squadron is cruising in the border areas in order to show off their force to the governments of those colonial planets, the acceptable official order is to pursue the Son of Korha This self-proclaimed revolutionary organization is actually a terrorist force."

"And in order to better complete the task, you naturally sent your subordinates to go to various planets in disguise to inquire about news. After all, we all know that the biggest basis for guerrilla warfare is the base area. Without anyone providing information and supplies, guerrilla warfare cannot continue. .Then the son of Keha has been active for many years, has repeatedly heard the wind and fled, and has been invincible. Naturally, it is because of his accomplices and sympathizers who have been deceived by him to shelter and support him."

"This is the clue for us to capture or annihilate the Sons of Keha, find their secret supply point, and then wait for them. They are just cunning and confronting head-on. They are not worth mentioning in front of Alpha Squadron."

Duke's eyes lit up.

My heart said yes,

Why didn't I think of this trick before?

Kane knew what Duke was thinking when he saw Duke's expression. Thinking to himself: "With your Dong Zhuo-like pissing nature of repeated defeats and defeats, why haven't you been beaten to death by the mine boss Mengsk?"

Before founding the Sons of Korhal, Arcturus Mengsk was a successful prospector, mine owner, and businessman. This allowed him to have a top-notch ability to use terrain and terrain, and he also had a good understanding of the galaxies and planets in the Koprulu sector. Human beings were able to recover quickly after the establishment of the empire, which also had a lot to do with it.

In addition, when Arcturus was in the federal army, his highest position was colonel, so many people in the outside world referred to him as colonel.

Kane continued to draw cakes for Duke, but in fact the rest of the matter was simpler. A reasonable and credible excuse was equivalent to an invitation letter to a banquet.

Chosara has my pawns trapped, so I naturally rushed to rescue them.

What's more, my soldiers also showed the strength of the Alpha Squadron, organizing and saving people in a city, they asked me for help, how could a person like me, who is anxious for justice, refuse this kind of rescue? Pursuing the son of Keha is very important, but saving the citizens of the Federation is also the duty and responsibility of a soldier.

As for the fact that there are already a lot of federal troops there, sorry, my Alpha Squadron is out fighting and doesn’t interact much with other friendly troops, especially this kind of friendly troops who came suddenly. I didn’t even know that there was a major defense change here...

Duke was delighted to hear it, especially after watching a video, his heart became even hotter. Comments: "Well, the performance is not bad, and the tactics are used in the style of Alpha Squadron."

Kane said in his heart: "Can you still show some face? Throughout history, you have never won except for the time you cooperated with the Child of Destiny. You were taught to behave in various ways, and finally died in the hands of Kerrigan. , Mysterious self-confidence and arrogance, you are the number one comedian during the entire Three Clans War, okay?"

He said: "No, Colonel, this is not enough. You forgot how the media turned trivial things into big things and maliciously slandered you in the early years, so that you have not been able to completely get rid of those disgraceful influences. I know , your ship has a military reporter from UNN on board."

Duke's face became gloomy: "Don't worry, the guy who was assigned has no chance to spoil my good deeds!"

"No, you misunderstood my meaning. I mean, a hero comes out of his mouth. Although you are brave and good at fighting, you like to lead the charge, but people don't know this. You must let the broad masses of the people know your bravery, Alpha The strength of the squadron makes everything meaningful. Unfortunately, the public has a lot of misunderstandings about the Federation. In this case, Mike Liberty, who has always been known as the conscience of the industry among the public, has become very useful. He has a lot of experience in UNN column."

Duke nodded: "It's still your thoughtfulness. I will persuade Mr. Liberty and write some good articles." He pronounced the word "persuasion" a little harder.

"No, it will backfire if you do that. Mr. Liberty wouldn't be a military correspondent if he took the hard stuff. Want someone who writes passionate hymns instead of snarky irony, soft Hard work is useless, he must be convinced that what he sees and hears is true. So you have to convince your people, and even yourself, that everything we talk about is true. You do A lot of secret arrangements have been made, and the reason why I have not talked about it is because there are many people who misunderstand the Federation and sympathize with the sons of Keha. Once the news is leaked, the sons of Keha will be prepared, and the agents you arrange will also be in danger. "

"In short, you have to keep it mysterious, and only reveal a little bit of guiding information inadvertently, and let them guess and deduce the rest. People often believe the so-called truth that they speculate on."

"Well, it seems to make sense. You can be my consultant. I think an upright and decent person like me is not very good at playing tricks. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Yes, I think I can be qualified for the position of an alternative staff officer." Kane responded, but said in his heart: "This is your fatal shortcoming, the arrogance that comes from within, and the stick is very thick, and the sweet dates are not enough. , who is willing to serve a superior like you?"

Kane originally didn't plan to do anything to Duke, but things have evolved to the current situation. He feels that Duke and his Alpha Squadron, who played a very important role in the original historical line, can take advantage of it.

Why are there such ways available instead of choosing to give up? Could it be that if you set up another stall completely independently, it will show your style? It is too uneconomical to make things more complicated just to force the style, and indirectly cause many people to die in vain. It takes 20 years for human beings to grow from birth to adulthood, which is quite long, and it is shameful to waste it!

The bait that Kane used to catch Duke was naturally not Oliver. Oliver was just a war arranged to cater to the masses of D fans. environment to survive. '

The core of the Duke's bait is the "Wild Goose Death Squad"-the impossible task was completed by the temporary military-civilian combination. '

In fact, whether it is the army or the civilians, they are all fighters with Rambo's skill and courage, and they have intelligence support and certain equipment support secretly.

For example, I was lucky to find a batch of hidden weapons and ammunition, and even chariots.

Another example is always walking on the right path, avoiding the Zerg army, and completing a time difference operation without knowing it, and successfully surrounding the spot to help, killing another returning Zerg team .

In fact, this is all based on the information provided by the stealth reconnaissance drone preset early in the morning, driving the map to fight the Zerg in the fog of war, and fighting resolutely and decisively, with courage and strategy, this is the only way to make great achievements repeatedly.

This kind of victory by cheating looks a lot like the main theme that is often seen in movies and TV, ha! Send money and send guns, ha! Less wins more, ha! Make up for what is missing, ha! War feeds war, we don't need logistics...

Professionals will complain all kinds of things, but most people like it. Especially if it still looks real.

Producer and director Kane laid out Duke's final life scene, and the show unfolded.

"Mr. Liberty, the captain has something to ask for you." The beautiful active female lieutenant, Emily Swarren said from the hatch with a full face.

Emily was Liberty's personal secretary, taking care of his life and handling various liaison matters. It is also responsible for monitoring him.

This female lieutenant always wears a professional smile. In Liberty's opinion, she looks like an ancient American big fool, brimming with foolish optimism. She is very suitable for those who are ready to deceive their children into five Parents who serve as soldiers on a remote frontier beyond the core galaxy.

And what is the truth? Miss Swarren has an interesting hobby of meeting her boyfriends in bars, taking them to her private quarters, tying them up carefully, and finally picking up a handful of sharp and sharp fish fillets. Thin kitchen knives to slice their flesh off their bones.

Before being arrested, Miss Swarren had killed 10 big men calmly and gracefully. Then she accepted the Federation's "Neural Center Social Reengineering", to put it bluntly, it was electromagnetic radiation lobotomy, and brainwashing courses, and then she became what she is now.

It is said that 50% of the first-line personnel in the Federation Star Marine Corps come from this way, and according to Liberty's observation, this ratio can be adjusted upwards. As for whether everyone is like Swollen, the answer is absolutely no. This kind of talent is not very common even in today's era full of decadence.

Like most people whose life management is not successful, Liberty vomits well and has a lot of venom in his stomach.

He joked that the builders of Nord II didn't realize the need for aisles until they had designed all the useful details of compartments, officer's rooms, weapon systems, living systems, computer systems, etc. on each floor. As a result, the corridor was so narrow that someone was coming from the opposite side, and both sides had to lean sideways against the wall to pass through. If it wasn't for the armed Space Marine soldiers to pass through, the passage would probably be even narrower.

He joked about the novice trainees, who couldn't handle power armor well and walked like swinging penguins.

He also joked that Duke is a silver-backed gorilla who leads his tribe with a diamond-shaped pointed head and frightens the monkeys under him with his intimidating posture leaning forward (bow).

Of course, when it was his turn to face the gorilla, he would not show off his uniqueness and uniqueness. This is a very simple question of emotional intelligence. The starship is the territory of the change, and Duke is the largest in this land. If he offends Duke, his life will be very sad.

However, Liberty still has his bottom line, that is, his professional ethics is worthy of recognition, and he will not use lies to deceive those who read his reports.

This made him unable to find more combat actions and feats to write about after completing the first few patriotic stories with flags fluttering.

This, combined with the endless boredom and boredom of the military and space travel, made him so depressed that he had to find some fun.

For example, today, once again, he had just returned from an all-night poker game, and he might not even have slept for 5 minutes before being woken up by Emily.

Even though the soldiers who played cards with him were all stunned young men who had received their military pay and had no place to spend, and didn't even know the basics of fraud, so playing cards with them was always a pleasure, but who could not get up? ?

But when it comes to Emily, who is always giggling and doesn't mind being ordered to do this and that, Liberty has nowhere to vent her anger.

To Duke? He didn't want to be stuffed into a body bag and launched into space in starship fashion. With Duke's arrogance and stubbornness, such a thing may not be impossible.

However, Duke gave him a refreshing feeling this time. After meeting him, he went straight to the point and asked him to watch a video.

Liberty was immediately attracted by the content of the video.

The video is not long, it is obviously edited, and it is very unprofessional. In other words, the purpose is to explain the process clearly in the shortest possible length, so it is very dry.

Then Duke spoke up: "I asked them to find the accomplices and patrons of the sons of Keha, and they gave me this. I am helpless. I did bad things back then, and for those who manage me, the worst Part of it was disobeying orders. Now I'm going to disobey again, I have to get those people out of the damn place."

Liberty showed unconcealable astonishment.

If it were changed to the past thinking, Duke would interpret this astonishment as shock at the video.

But Kane gave him a new perspective, and Duke knew Liberty was surprised that he could say such a thing.

This is indeed not his style. He exposed his scars frankly and cleverly, and expressed his protection for his subordinates with a human touch, even protecting his shortcomings.

These are not what he has, but judging from Liberty's reaction, they are all needed.

Liberty hadn't been on the ship for a long time, but he got along very well with the officers and soldiers on the ship. He often lost to him at the gambling table, but it still didn't prevent the soldiers from befriending him. Duke was envious and jealous of this. .

It took him decades to learn how to mingle with the officers and soldiers, let alone be supported by them from the bottom of their hearts.

So now that he thinks about it, some things in the world that Liberty approves of may be the direction he needs to correct, if he happens to not have one.

"It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, the key is that what you express must meet the needs of success. Only then will you be successful, so successful people are very good at acting. Such a simple truth, I have never understood it all these years!"

Liberty found that Duke seemed determined to let him see a side of him that he hadn't shown.

I heard Duke say again: "To be honest, I don't really care about those stinky farmers, but this time the nature is different. This is not the predation needed for survival, but the invasion of intelligent races, organized massacres."

Then he said with some self-deprecation: "We have finally found an intelligent race comparable to human beings, but the way is not very good..."

In this way, Duke's character image is full at once. He admits that he doesn't like ordinary people, which is consistent with his usual condescension and disdain for ordinary people.

However, he also showed a soldier, the bottom line of a human being. As Roosevelt said in Congress: "Even a son of a bitch is our son of a bitch."

Subtext: We abuse ourselves, that's our business, others can't beat and scold, otherwise I won't obey.

Since the other party is not a beast, but an intelligent race, they can be equal to humans, and they are all intelligent creatures. The thinking mode of the intelligent race has depth and breadth. When making a choice, they will think about the consequences.

Now that the Zerg is doing this, its nature is completely different from that of ordinary beasts attacking people!
