Chapter 3, The Collapsed Female Soldier
This life is unbearable
The naval fleets in various regions have begun a comprehensive reorganization, and it is anticipated that after the addition of vessels and personnel, five to six mixed fleets can be expanded.
Observing the president frowning while holding a teacup without any response, Mikhailovich continued: "The First, Second, and Eighth Space Fleets, drawn from the Bermuda Star Region, are currently assembling in the rear. The maintenance of the vessels and the replenishment of ammunition personnel will require some time. The Third and Ninth Space Fleets have already been ordered to set off, taking a detour through the public star region to search for new jump points to the Atlantis Star Region. The Fifth and Tenth Space Fleets remain responsible for safeguarding the security of the capital's main star." The Third and Ninth Space Fleets have already been ordered to set off, taking a detour through the public star region to search for new jump points to the Atlantis Star Region. The Fifth and Tenth Space Fleets remain responsible for safeguarding the security of the capital's main star.
The ground defense forces of the Federation found themselves in a situation of fighting independently after the loss of nearly all aerial power. Large segments symbolizing the Federation's military strength were being divided by the red imperial army and were rapidly disappearing.
Tian Xingjian was unsure whether he was fortunate or unfortunate
Inside the command office, General Mikhailovich, who is in charge of operations, is reporting the battle situation to the President, who is present at the command headquarters
As beautiful as a flower and as lovely as jade
So far, the Federation has completely lost control of five immigrant planets, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Space Forces stationed in the Galileo Galaxy have suffered near-total casualties. The only survivors are a single Orion-class battleship, several light cruisers, and a Titan-class carrier that escaped due to a routine crew rotation. The Milok local fleet stationed in the Newton Galaxy, facing an overwhelming disparity in strength against the enemy, has withdrawn from the Atlantis star region after losing fifty percent of its warships, with the consent of the command.
As Mihailovich opened his mouth to speak, the President gestured for him to stop, stood up, and walked to the window, turning his back to the general and said: "I know what you want to say, but we have no way out. If we cannot protect Milok Star, I will become the first president in the history of the Federation to resign in disgrace, and you will be the first general to be dismissed. Without sacrifice, there is no victory. Even if it is a gamble, we can only risk everything to survive, and take this chance."
In the face of the well-prepared military of the Gachalin Empire, the military strength of the Lelei Federation has consistently been at a disadvantage. Moreover, the doves, who dominate the government and parliament, have been excessively complacent regarding the Gachalin royal family, which has a history and lineage of aggression. Several proposals from the military to increase the budget have been rejected.
As a scout, one would typically resort to methods such as assassinating enemy commanders, sabotage, camouflage, guiding air force missiles to their targets, and poisoning water sources to create chaos and seek survival in the midst of disorder. However, these actions are far too dangerous for the overweight individual, who is almost unwilling to contemplate them
Crying until tears blend with the rain
Imperial mechs, transport vehicles, and soldiers are constantly shuttling back and forth in the jungle. The imperial army seems poised to remain stationed here until the end of the war, having even established a small airstrip in a clearing for ultra-small transport ships to land. Troops are gathering continuously, and supplies are piling up like mountains.
When the great fire ignited the ammunition detonation in the order scheduled by Tian Xingjian, this poor and lonely mechanic had already reached a stinking mud pond in the center of the forest
Someone has been killed, this is truly a matter of life and death
The fat man is now completely unconcerned with the two dazed female soldiers, as this shameless woman quickly stripped herself bare and changed into the uniform of an imperial soldier
The original station of the Federal Armored Forces was not far from this forest. The heavyset man quickly arrived at the camp. After rummaging through the supplies, he found several individual hand grenades, a large block of compressed solid energy, and a replaced energy cannon.
In a flurry of movement, the two captives were left dumbfounded
It is truly tragic
The overweight individual felt as if his mind was about to explode, caught in a dilemma.
"No matter what, I must escape from here," the fat man thought fiercely to himself. "If this situation continues, I will probably be smashed to pieces before I even manage to run out of this forest."
The Milok Star, suspended directly above the hall, is riddled with holes. The red, symbolizing the imperial army, spreads across this virtual image of the planet at an astonishing speed. Of the more than sixty immigrant cities, over forty have been surrounded. Sixteen have been captured, and one city has turned completely gray-black, marking it as utterly destroyed
What made Mikhailovich even more helpless was that a large number of academic commanders in the army had never undergone the baptism of war; the Lelei Federation had been at peace for far too long. In this heroic nation, born three hundred years ago, the older generation of brilliant military stars from the War of Independence had become mere names in history textbooks and sculptures on the lawns of military academies.
The explosion? The supplies were destroyed, and one lost their life as well
Two female captives
However, as the imperial air force gradually strengthened its aerial assaults, there were no longer any events in this jungle that brought joy to Tian Xingjian. Disguising himself as a large clump of mud in the grass, the fat man's mind was constantly whirring.
Is it for the Air Force guidance? Which of those broken planes from the Federation are still surviving? Well, even if they are ace pilots, breaking through the Imperial Air Force's blockade is no easy task
a pilot, a medic
Less than five seconds apart
Mikhailovich nodded heavily, suddenly realizing that he was no longer a purely military man; he found himself considering political needs more than military ones.
Turning around, the President signaled to the secretary to hand a document to Mikhailovich, then said: "This is the total strength that the federal nationwide mobilization can muster within three months. I believe that as long as we endure these three months, we will achieve a strategic balance. Relying on our resources and production capacity, which are nearly twice that of the Gachalin Empire, we can launch a full-scale counteroffensive within a year"
Two federal female soldiers feel that they are on the verge of collapse
The overweight man's legs trembled incessantly, and his heart was almost about to leap out.
After a pause, the President continued: "The current situation in the country is very unstable. With five immigrant planets, nearly three hundred cities, and hundreds of millions of people, we could lose everything in an instant. The public's demand for a counteroffensive is very high. The opposition parties are also fanning the flames. If we lose Milok Star again, we will be completely passive, and there will be no forward base for a strategic counteroffensive"
Damn it! I'm going all out! Once pushed to the brink, the bachelor demeanor of the chubby man reemerged
The First Combined Army Group, composed of the Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Space Fleets, has completed its assembly in the Lelei Central Star Domain. Due to the blockade of the space jump points by the space fleet of the Gachalin Empire, it is no longer possible to force a jump to reinforce the Newton Star System. Therefore, the command has issued orders to block the jump points between Lelei and the Atlantis Star Domain, as well as to implement a defensive posture for the First Combined Army Group.
In just a few minutes, he completely buried himself. Only a hollow tube remained leading to the grass at the edge of the mud pit to evade detection by infrared and biological radar. Relying solely on the anti-detection combat suit he wore was insufficient. The stout man lowered his breathing and heartbeat to a dangerously low level. This was one of the peculiar techniques taught by the bear-like instructor at the reconnaissance training camp.
As he laid the body down, he uneasily struck the bloodied soldier's head with the butt of his rifle, furtively dragging the corpse into the bushes
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, seeing that no one was around, the stout man, in a moment of impulse, leaped up without a second thought. With a twist of his hands, a light sound was heard as the imperial soldier's head was forcibly turned around. The soldier fell to the ground like a rag doll whose neck had been twisted by a child. For the stout man, killing for the first time was not so simple; he swiftly plunged a dagger into the throat of the unfortunate soldier. A knee strike forcefully hit the soldier's groin, causing him to collapse like a rag doll whose neck had been twisted by a child.
As he watched the president stride away, the general silently pondered in his heart
Tian Xingjian possesses an extraordinary talent for these peculiar skills; he has always believed that if he could remain like this until the end of the war, he would not mind burying himself a little deeper.
During this day and night, the imperial army suffered two strikes from the federal air force; however, it is estimated that they were well concealed, resulting in minimal losses in terms of resources and manpower
Even a fool can tell that the Federal Army has certainly retreated to the second line of defense, and it is possible that the Sujiang Bridge has already been blown up by the Federal Army
When they fought, they wouldn't let him leave, and when they did, he found he couldn't go. Just when it was about to end, someone tipped off the enemy, pointing him to a way out, yet he was abandoned here. He cried, but Tian Xingjian was no fool; he picked up the gun and turned to run deep into the jungle. His agile movements resembled those of a plump rabbit.
The imperial mech squad outside the forest was just as the fat man had anticipated
What kind of creature is this white and plump fellow
He slightly clarified the direction and ran wildly. To increase his chances of survival, he had to retrieve several tools
Insufficient funding, aging vessels, and inadequate training
The fat man can run across the open area at the fastest speed, as long as he plunges into the relatively calm waters of the Su Peng River. With the fat on his body and his top-notch swimming skills in the camp, he can easily return to the stationed camp. He could enjoy a few large pieces of roasted meat, drink a cup of hot chocolate or tea, and if luck is on his side, he might even find a bit of alcohol. Tian Xingjian quickly shook his head to dismiss these foolish thoughts. In this moment of exhaustion, hunger, and sadness, thinking about such things undoubtedly made the fat man feel overwhelmed.
"Without sacrifice, there is no victory." Mihailovich repeatedly mulled over this statement
Grandma, if this continues, I will either be discovered and beaten to death or starve to death
Poor Tian Xingjian was unaware of this. As soon as he relaxed, fatigue washed over him like a tide, and he quickly fell asleep in the mud.

If it were not for the patriotic education received from a young age, the fear of severe torture and the reluctance to part with the flying car at the villa in the capital, the fat man would almost consider walking directly over to be captured by the imperial army.
Poisoning the water source? The fat man is now merely a mechanical maintenance soldier, not some sort of all-purpose special forces soldier. What about the poison?
General Mikhailovich's voice was somewhat hoarse. It has been six months since the Gachalin Empire declared war without notice, and due to the Federation's long-standing inadequate preparations for war, it has still been unable to organize sufficient defensive forces, let alone launch a counterattack. The Lelei Federation, which possesses three major star regions and eight star systems, is facing the most severe test it has encountered in a long time.
They did not continue the pursuit, but instead contacted the scattered individual mechs around them to begin regrouping their forces. According to their operational plan, this location would become a forward base for their attack on New Rome City. This meant that if the fat man wanted to wait until they left before crawling out of the mud pit, it would be better for him to carve another tombstone for himself directly.
After much contemplation, the overweight individual found himself at a loss. It seems that the opportunity to escape smoothly without taking risks is not meant for him.
Although he was in the mud pit, the stout man had the ability to discern, solely by listening to the sounds, what kind of troops the imperial army had stationed there and the scale of those troops. This was also his only pastime while hiding in the mud pit. Tian Xingjian remained motionless, "observing" this wicked imperial army.
However, the weight of these items was not something that a single person could carry away. He quickly dug a hole with a mechanical arm used for repairs and buried everything except for the grenades in batches. Then, without hesitation, he set fire to it and ran away.
... ...
We hope that the choices we make are all correct
Tian Xingjian quietly emerged from the muddy pond, as spending half a day and night buried in the stinking mud was not particularly pleasant
At this time, the command center of the Lelei Federation was in complete disarray
President Hamilton and - Tu - Shudun finally set down their teacups, waved their hands, and said: "Speak of your difficulties, what do you need me to do? As long as it is required by the military, I will support it unconditionally"
The chubby person feels extremely wronged in their heart
Assassination of the officer? The officer is dead, and the fat man is also dead
In the mud pit, Tian Xingjian realized that this time he had really made a fool of himself
It is essential to first find a place to hide. If those heavy mechs do not pursue north after arriving on the battlefield, but instead gather the scattered individual mechs on the spot, this forested area will inadvertently become their garrison.
The fat man could almost imagine himself being captured and then skinned like a lamb, hanging from a tree while someone fiercely whipped his fatty flesh.
As long as these imperial mechs do not enter the jungle, the fat man has an eighty percent chance of escaping back. It would be even better if these mechs followed the federal mechs in pursuit.
The sound of phones ringing incessantly filled the air, as the central computer processed tens of thousands of frontline messages. The operations staff appeared ashen, inputting each piece of real-time war information into the virtual sand table.
Even if there is only one city and one armed force, we must resist to the end. Milok Star must not completely fall into the hands of Gachalin. The people need victory, and we will give them victory. Public opinion needs heroes, and we will provide them with heroes. The President's gaze was far calmer than his tone: "Seize the jump point, rapidly increase troops in Milok, unify the ground resistance forces, shape federal heroes, and strive for localized victories. Do you understand what I am saying?" Do you understand what I am saying?
What the Lelei Federation needs now is time. A nationwide mobilization order has been issued. Factories and shipyards are operating at full capacity to produce new mechs and warships. Waves of new recruits are continuously entering the military camps for training, and will time bring the dawn of victory to Lelei?
His determination was just set, and he was encouraging himself when a tall and robust imperial soldier escorted two federal prisoners into the jungle, passing right by the chubby man.
Disguised as the enemy, are you watching a movie? The imperial fat man can say a few words, and he has also overheard the password. But what if he can't find suitable clothes? The fat man usually has to go to stores that specifically sell plus-size clothing to buy clothes.
The most important tool is the automatic mechanical arm used by a mechanical repairman. With it, the fat man can assemble all sorts of bizarre vehicles in the shortest time possible using any visible parts. In the previous twenty escapes, he managed to flee this way fifteen times. This time, the materials appear to be much more abundant than in previous instances.
