Chapter 361 Earth 14 Federation Recruitment of New Soldiers

Soon.

The pilot followed the guidance of the tower of the "Iron Great Wall", the Federation Moon Base, and gradually reduced the speed and approached the civilian port area facing the Earth.

Lyon, Maggie and others in the ship could look out the portholes and see the Earth in the blue atmosphere. They could also observe that many cruise ships, cargo ships and colony ships of different sizes were moored in the civilian port area.

Moreover, even in the civilian port area, there were a large number of fixed artillery, close defense guns and other defense measures.

After all, the Earth is the top priority of the United Citizens Federation.

It is not only the home planet of mankind, but also the most densely populated, economic, political and cultural center, so the "customs" and "security inspection" matters are naturally extremely strict.

The strict defense of the Earth is actually applicable to humans in all universes.

At this stage, the main universe Earth is also "dramatically" building on the moon.

Vulcan and the Flame Lizard are preparing to turn the moon into a steel fortress, and at the same time set up defenses on Mars and Jupiter to resist the intelligent civilization of the main universe.

Moreover, with the assistance of the pioneer AI·Quiet Riverbank, the Engineering Department is "copying" a large device ring with a diameter of about 3,000 kilometers in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, namely--

Halo.

At present, the only intelligent race known in the main universe is the Reaper civilization like interstellar pirates.

However, for the current human empire, no matter how many Reapers come and how many they "enslave", they can hardly pose any threat.

The Intelligence Department clearly mentioned that the Reaper Queen's vehicle is a celestial-class mothership with a diameter of 3,000 kilometers, and there are tens of billions of soldier ants and worker ants living inside it.

If the Reaper Queen really tries to invade the solar system.

It is equivalent to "giving gifts to the door", sending not only celestial-class ships to the human empire, but also tens of billions of "free labor".

You should know that Mars in the main universe can complete transformation and construction in a very short time. In addition to being directly related to the Pure Flower, the hundreds of millions of harvester soldiers and worker ants who were forced to work by the Empire are also indispensable "heroes".

As for the "Starship Fleet" humans who have been engaged in interstellar colonization for two centuries, although they do not take other low-level civilizations and the Arach Zerg seriously, the Earth has to be strictly guarded and heavily guarded.

And Leon, Maggie and others can only leave the civilian port area and go to the orbital space station on Earth after passing the customs inspection.

At this moment.

The pilot has driven the civilian ship they are on and slowly entered a small port.

Then, mechanical arms extended from both sides of the port to fix the ship they are on.

Then, the port extended a retractable corridor and adsorbed and connected with the bulkhead on the right side of the ship.

Dong. Dong——!

In the cabin, the collision sound made when the corridor and the bulkhead come into contact can be clearly heard.

Lyon, Maggie and more than 20 other investigators, wearing the uniforms of the new recruits of the federal army, were standing behind the valve on the right side of the cabin, waiting patiently.

The crew consisting of two pilots, four engineers and maintenance technicians were also waiting here.

Qi——Shua——!

At this time, accompanied by a short surge of air, the valve gates in front of everyone quickly opened to both sides.

Tat.

Accompanied by the sound of military boots stepping on the metal deck, Lyon and his team saw a group of fully armed mobile infantry rushing into the cabin.

Then, two customs officials holding tablets also followed the mobile infantry into the cabin.

"."

Lyon, who saw the scene in front of him, felt a sense of familiarity.

When they were in the "Halo" universe numbered "08" and tried to sneak into Arcadia on a cargo ship, they faced the same situation.

But the difference is that the artificial intelligence of the "Starship Fleet" universe is far less powerful than the smart or stupid AI of "Halo".

Therefore, the identity background of Leon and others, to the two customs officials who were reviewing them, had nothing to do with "imitation" and was a real "real" resume and certificate.

In addition, the human mobile infantry in "Starship Fleet" could not be compared with the Marines in "Halo".

The most basic UNSC Marines would have a single-soldier system with auxiliary aiming and slightly reduced radar.

On the other hand, the mobile infantry

gave Leon the first impression that they were ordinary soldiers in the late twentieth century.

Kevlar-style helmets, armor with a carapace appearance, and bullpup rifles, etc. If such weapons and equipment were to confront UNSC Marines head-on, the result could be imagined.

"Leon Scott, Maggie Shawn, Galori."

At this time, a female customs official approached Leon and others while quickly reading the information and certificates presented on the tablet, muttering to herself.

Another customs officer led more than a dozen mobile infantrymen to search the entire cabin to ensure that there were no smuggled items, especially smuggled animals and insects.

Biological invasion is more harmful than smuggled arms.

After reading the documents and reviewing them, the female officer turned her eyes away from the tablet screen.

Then she glanced at the investigator with psychic potential, and then looked at Leon, Maggie and others.

Silence for a few seconds.

The female official asked with some confusion: "The total population of New Hope Colony seems to be around 200,000, and the people there are quite disgusted with the Federation.

You guys are quite interesting. Instead of being influenced by the locals, you signed up to join the federal army.

What do you think, huh? "

The reason why the female official has doubts is that she doesn't quite understand. The "children" in front of her have relatively good school results. Even if they live and work as civilians, they have a very optimistic future.

What's more, many of the planets in the New Hope Colony are notoriously opposed to the Federation.

The "children" with excellent academic performance did not join the locals in opposing the federation, but chose to join the federal army.

This forced her to ask more questions.

Hear the words.

Leon, whose actual age was almost thirty years old but whose fake identity was that he had just graduated from high school, immediately showed off his best acting skills as an investigator and said angrily:

"To kill bugs, sir!"

"To kill bugs!"

Maggie and more than twenty investigators also responded in unison.

"Killing bugs?"

Seeing that Lyon and others were a little "excited", the female official was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted and continued to ask:

"Is there an insect infestation in New Hope?"

"Yes, sir." Leon's eyes turned red instantly, as if recalling a very sad past, and said:

"There are Araki bugs on New Hope, and my parents died at their claws! I just want to join the army to kill bugs until they are all wiped out!"

"Yes, my condolences."

The female officer counted her heads.

Leon's forged file was indeed marked with the information "both parents were dead", but she didn't know much about the situation in New Hope.

At this time, the other customs official and the mobile infantry also completed their search and returned to the cabin.

After confirming that there were no contraband or smuggled goods on board, and that the identity background, customs clearance documents, military applications and other information of Leon, Maggie and others could be matched with the network, the female officer prepared to leave and said:

"You can continue to Earth. That's right."

At the end of the sentence, the female official suddenly gave a kind reminder:

"I see that several of you have applied for the Intelligence Bureau, as well as Navy pilots. If it is convenient, you can go to the recruitment department of the moon base with us and go through the review and interview process directly, which can save a lot of time."

Part of the reason for her sudden kindness was due to what happened to these "children".

But the key thing that affects her is that the results of these "young people" who applied for intelligence agencies and pilots are among the best in all the well-known high schools on the earth.

The review and interview are almost passable.

Maybe in a few months, if she sees these "young people" again, she might call them "sir" instead.

So being a familiar face, doing some small favors by the way, and creating an additional promotion channel for yourself, for female officials, it is only a profit but not a loss.

The investigators who chose to apply for the Intelligence Bureau and pilot positions did not hesitate when they saw female officials extending invitations;

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Okay! Let's pack our things now!"

The investigators agreed and quickly went to their dormitories to pack their luggage.

It didn't take long.

There were less than half of the investigators ready to infiltrate the federal army, and the civilian ships that had received customs clearance continued to carry the remaining investigators, including Leon and Maggie, to the earth nearly 400,000 kilometers away.

Soon after.

Leon, Maggie and others have left the civilian ship and taken the orbital elevator, heading quickly to the surface.

The civilian ships that have completed the transportation mission are preparing to return to the New Hope Colony after completing their supplies.

soon.

The orbital elevator carried Lyon and the others to the space station hall on the surface.

Moreover, it is currently the graduation season for high school students. In order to facilitate recruitment, the Federation Army has fixed recruitment offices in the halls of every star port, airport and orbital space station.

So Leon and the others took their travel bags and headed to the recruiting office located in the center of the hall.

Come here.

They found a large number of uniformed lieutenants and non-commissioned officers communicating with recruits and their parents.

There are also many recruits waiting for their families here, or seeking answers from the lieutenants and non-commissioned officers who provide help.

Fortunately, the recruitment office has more than ten service points, so recruits can complete the review without queuing.

Immediately, Leon took the lead in taking out the paper document, walked to the peripheral service point, and handed it to a veteran whose legs were amputated due to injury and whose right hand was replaced with a metal prosthesis.

"Ouch?!"

After receiving the paper documents from Lyon and briefly browsing them, the veteran sighed:

"No grades are lower than A. You are an outstanding talent. Are you going to the Mobile Force?"

But when he saw the item "Voluntarily assigned to a mobile unit" on the paper document, the veteran's expression instantly became astonished.

Then he raised his head sharply and looked at Leon, who was almost thirty years old, but his appearance was still around twenty, and said in confusion:

"Kid, do you know what it means to go to the mobile unit??"

"Yes, sir, it means I can kill the bugs with my own hands! And there are a lot of bugs!"

Leon replied pretending to be excited.

"."

Seeing Leon's reaction, the veteran showed an expression that said, "The child is seriously ill."

However, the veteran did not kindly remind Lyon that the mobile unit was just a cannon fodder unit like the female customs officer did, nor did he remind Lyon whether he should think more about it.

After all, the reaction and demeanor shown by Leon showed that he had made up his mind.

So the veteran picked up the official stamp, stamped it on Lyon's document, tore off the copy and handed it to Lyon, saying:

"Good luck to you, kid."

"Thank you, sir."

Next.

The veterans reviewed and approved Maggie and others' applications to join the team in turn, and the veterans' initial confusion and confusion gradually turned into helplessness and regret.

It seems that the choices made by Leon, Maggie and others are really "big mistakes".

Obviously, with excellent grades, it is more than enough to apply for the Strategic Theory Department of the Intelligence Bureau or the Fleet Command.

However, it seemed that he had to apply for the mobile unit with the highest casualty rate and the most demanding promotion path.

It seems that today's young people have been completely brainwashed by various federal propaganda.

After stamping the seal, the veteran just shook his head, stopped worrying about Leon and others, and continued to handle affairs for the other recruits.

The new recruits who were present all had their own deployment orders, and the lieutenants and non-commissioned officers began to organize the oath of allegiance.

That is to say, raise your right hand, face the flag of the federal army, and say in public, "I understand the meaning and obligations of joining the military, and all of this is voluntary."

An oath like "I will serve for at least two years and will continue to be loyal to the military if necessary."

Complete the process.

Leon, Maggie, and the others followed the same group of mobile force recruits and boarded the federal army's DR-4 Viking transport boat to a recruit training camp in North Africa.

Two days later.

September 10th.

Set in a boot camp in North Africa;

At noon, the tropics are at their hottest stage.

Leon and Maggie, who put on recruit training uniforms and black berets, were assigned to the same combat platoon and stood neatly in the assembly area, listening to the instructor's instructions.

I saw a serious-faced instructor wearing a noncommissioned officer's uniform, holding a teaching staff at the front of the queue, and said loudly:

"I am your instructor, Sergeant Sim! And you will accept it. Keep your legs together!"

The sergeant named Sim suddenly swung his teaching stick and violently corrected a recruit's posture with a hammer blow.

This moment caused the recruit to cry out in pain, and also made all the recruits look a little scared.

Sergeant Sim then distanced himself from the group while cursing "a bunch of cowards and apes."

After he turned around and faced the recruits again, he continued loudly:

"From the moment I joined the Federation, I have never seen a decent guy! Now! Who thinks he can defeat me!"

"Sir!"

Just as Sergeant Sim was about to show his authority over this "poor egg", a female recruit carrying a backpack quickly approached and said:

"Recruit Fros reports for duty! Sir!"
