Chapter 237 Joint Command

"I have cerebral palsy, and I actually think these guys will blockade and advance honestly."

In a remote meeting of the coalition command headquarters composed of senior commanders of the three battle groups, Amber looked at the coalition commander, Major General Benjamin, who was making combat deployments with a look of despair.

This commander, who had lost nearly half of his garrison on the Lubion 5, was still confident that with the support of superior forces and orbital fire strikes, the coalition forces would be able to easily wipe out the empire's remnants and regain the lost ground.

"No matter how you put it, this combat operation is 180,000 vs. 40,000. The advantage is mine!"

Standing in front of the huge screen of the coalition ground headquarters, Benjamin suddenly waved his fist, which can be said to be very high-spirited.

It was completely impossible to tell that he had just lost a battle.

“All the commanders of private military companies and defense contractors here know the contents of the contract signed between the Galaxy Autonomous Government and you, so let me tell you straight.

The faster you fight and the more areas you control, the earlier you can start the reconstruction work. I don’t need to say more about the profits. Everyone here knows how to understand it."

Everyone in the conference room except Amber had knowing smiles on their faces.

Isn't it because they bid to take over this combat mission that they can underwrite post-war reconstruction work in more areas, and then extract enough oil and water from it?

Just when the coalition headquarters was immersed in a "happy" atmosphere, Major General Benjamin saw Amber who was full of worry and was out of tune with the people around him.

He recalled several companies in the First Battle Group in his mind, and finally remembered that this was 'Ray Bill' from the Atlas Private Military Company.

"Mr. Rebel!"

Benjamin shouted his name and waved.

His actions soon attracted others' attention to the company commander sitting in the corner.

"I see that the expression on your face is very sad. Are you worried that you will not control enough areas after the battle?"

Benjamin's words quickly aroused undisguised laughter from everyone, and even others started to boo.

"Major General, don't worry, when the time comes our Thunder Defense will just divide this area into one company or another!"

"It's your Lei Lei who is so grand? Why don't you give me a piece of it?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Listening to the laughter of the people around him, Amber shook his head and said:

"Are you too optimistic about the next battle?"

As soon as this was said, some people immediately started to refute it.

"180,000 vs. 40,000, and the orbital support of the fleet, can't you still be optimistic?"

"That's right, with just a few remaining soldiers, once the firepower preparations are completed, the general attack will probably collapse!"

Amber looked at the two people talking and silently wrote down the names of the companies they belonged to.

When the attack starts later, he will never follow these two companies.

Although these people were very disdainful of their concerns, Amber still decided to remind these 'friendly forces', which was considered the most benevolent thing.

"Yes, we have a huge strength advantage, and we also have fire support from orbital attack ships.

But I still want to remind everyone that the imperial fleet destroyed almost 90% of the satellites in orbit before evacuating. Although the garrison fleet and the fleets of various companies have been urgently deploying satellites in orbit in the past few days, the progress is not satisfactory.

You all take out your terminals and take a look. How many satellites can the personal terminal and the command terminal be connected to? "

These are just communication satellites, let alone reconnaissance satellites. There were already few of them, but now we won’t be able to count on them at all for a while.

Our control over the movements of the empire's remnants of troops has no timeliness at all! "

Amber looked around at everyone in the conference room and continued:

"Is there anyone here who can accurately tell the exact movements of even a remnant of the empire's troops?

No, you are just waiting for the official attack to begin and go through the 'armed march' all the way, and then you think that the remaining soldiers of the empire will be quickly defeated under the attack.

There is also the orbital strike fire support that someone just mentioned. Do you know how long it takes for the orbital attack ship on our heads to orbit? 90 minutes!

In the event that the remaining imperial soldiers jump over the wall and gather troops to attack our encirclement head-on, which company is confident that it can stabilize the defense line under the attack of multiple brigade-level combat teams? "

Amber asked a barrage of questions, which silenced the entire conference room.

As he said before, these private armed forces who are obsessed with security warfare have no idea about a war between countries.

"Tsk, a small company is a small company, and nothing will surprise you here."

A disdainful voice sounded in the conference room, it was the commander of Thunder Defense.

Amber actually has an impression of this company, because among the current private military forces in the federation, Thunder Defense ranks among the top three all year round.

Thunder Industries, a giant in the production of weapons and equipment, is losing blood behind its back. Thunder Defense has always maintained a "rich and wealthy" image in the industry.

This Operation Freedom Recovery is no exception.

Not only did it directly deploy four combined brigade-sized troops, it also became the ‘leader’ among fifteen companies.

They were also very 'generous' in building temporary camps for other companies belonging to the same First Battle Group.

At this point, Amber still has to express her gratitude.

But now, the commander of Thunder Defense is not so polite.

"Major General Benjamin, you are so cautious in fighting against the remnants of the Empire that have run out of food. I suggest that you should not look for such a small company in the future. It is simply a lack of courage.

What kind of defense company is this? Isn't it better to do something else honestly?"

With the beginning of this "talent", there are more and more disdain and ridicule for Amber in the conference room.

And Major General Benjamin saw that the meeting was about to end, so he calmed everyone down, and then looked at Amber and said:

"How about this, Mr. Rebil, I will put your Atlas attack sequence at the end, so you should be more at ease."

"Whatever."

Amber was too lazy to talk to these people anymore, and looked at these dreaming commanders with a look of looking at dead people.

"Cliffs, this is a direct order to you. Order the attack detachment in orbit and the fleet on standby in deep space to prepare. As soon as you receive my signal, take down the Pillar of Heaven II and support the evacuation of the ground forces."

After the meeting, Amber, who was sitting in the all-terrain vehicle driven by Baninger and returning to the temporary camp, used a communication satellite deployed in the geostationary orbit to contact the fleet in the planet's orbit.

"Got it, Boss."

Cliffs on the screen saluted, and then asked cautiously:

"Boss, hasn't the war started yet?"

"It's true that the war hasn't started yet, but the friendly forces are quite powerful. I'm now worried that after the formal attack, they will be defeated by the remnants of the Empire at the speed of light."

"."

After ending the communication with the fleet, Amber opened a new report compiled by Lilith.

The content of this report is very simple, that is, Atlas Industries has completed the design and finalization of a batch of vehicles, and is preparing to produce a batch of "combat test products" according to Amber's needs, and rush to put them on Rubion V.

Before Atlas won the bid, Amber used the company's idle funds to let the financial business department complete the acquisition of two equipment manufacturing companies that would become giants in the future.

One is the 'United Engine Company' that produces various conventional combat vehicles. It has another name in the future of the game timeline - United Power. Its product line almost covers the replacement of the next generation of ground vehicles of the Federal Army except HCP.

The other is the GIAT Group, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

When the people in the financial business department told Amber that they had completed the acquisition of the GIAT Group at a bargain price, Amber was a little bit unbelievable.

As soon as all the procedures were completed, he asked someone to find an HCP designer at the HCP R&D Center of the GIAT Group.

When Amber saw the HCP design drawing called 'Sacred Shield' in the hands of the designer, he knew that the next generation of HCP to be uniformly equipped by Atlas had been settled.

After these two companies were merged into Atlas Industries, in addition to maintaining their own basic production, their design teams also immediately carried out rapid development according to the needs of Atlas combat forces.

With the computing power support provided by Lilith, a batch of "combat test products" have finally been produced at this critical time point.

"The timing is just right. Lilith, write an urgent email in my name and ask Atlas Industries to hurry up and send this batch of "combat test products". If they can catch up, they may be able to be put on the battlefield for actual combat testing."

"Received, Master, I'll send it now!"

At this time, the all-terrain vehicle also returned to the No. 13 temporary camp where the Atlas combat troops are located.

After letting Baninger lead the teaching team to coordinate the pre-war preparations of the entire unit.

Amber got into a camouflaged command vehicle and turned on the vehicle-mounted command terminal.

In order to adapt to the subsequent battles, the Atlas combat troops have readjusted a round of organization during this period.

The 3,000 people who arrived at Rubion V have been reorganized into a combination of 2 heavy synthetic battalions + 2 medium synthetic battalions + a firepower battalion with the supplement of combat vehicles purchased urgently, which barely reaches the scale of a mixed synthetic brigade.

But the problem is that they are all combat battalions, and there is an extreme lack of combat support troops.

Amber wanted to set up a brigade support battalion separately, but no matter whether it is professional technical arms or professional vehicles, it will not be gathered in a short time.

So he simply dismantled this incomplete support battalion and strengthened it in each combat battalion.

As for the plan to re-establish a special support battalion and guarantee battalion, we can only wait for the arrival of follow-up troops and vehicles before making plans.
