From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

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 18 vs. 4. 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.

Benjamin shouted his name and waved.

"18 vs. 4, and the orbital support of the fleet, can't you still be optimistic?"

"Hahahahaha!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

"Mr. Rebel!"

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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:

"Can anyone here 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 the 'armed parade' to pass by, 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 above 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 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, what the commander of Thunder Defense said was not very polite.

"Major General Benjamin is still so cautious when he fights an imperial remnant that has run out of food. I suggest that you don't look for small companies like this in the future. They have no courage at all.

What kind of defense company is this? Why don't you just go do something else? "

With the beginning of this 'talent', there was more and more disdain and ridicule towards Amber in the conference room.

Seeing that the meeting could not continue, Major General Benjamin calmed everyone down, then looked at Amber and said:

"Let's do this, Mr. Rebir, I will put the attack sequence of Atlas at the end, so that you can feel more at ease."

"casual."

Amber was too lazy to talk to these people anymore. Instead, she looked at these dreaming commanders with a dead look in her eyes.

"Cliffs, this is an order conveyed directly to you, ordering the attack detachment in orbit and the fleet on standby in deep space to prepare. As soon as you receive my signal, get the 'Pillar of Heaven II' to me immediately. Next, coordinate the evacuation of ground troops."

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

"Roger that, 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 unfavorable. Now I'm worried that after the official attack, they will be defeated by the remaining imperial troops at the speed of light."

"."

After finishing communicating with the fleet, Amber opened a new report compiled by Lilith.

The content of this report is very simple. 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 expedite their release to Enter Rubion Five.

Before Atlas won the bid, Amber used the company's spare funds to let the financial business department complete the acquisition of two equipment manufacturing companies that would become giant companies 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 Engine. Its product line almost covers the next generation ground vehicles of the Federal Army in addition to HCP. Tools replacement.

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

When everyone in the financial business department told Amber that they had completed the acquisition of GIAT Group at a price that cost almost as much as a broken bone, Amber couldn't believe it.

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

When she saw the HCP design drawing named 'Sacred Shield' in the hands of this designer, Amber knew that the HCP to be uniformly installed in the next generation of Atlas was in place.

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 based on the needs of the Atlas combat forces.

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

"The time is just right. Lilith, please prepare an urgent email in my name and ask Atlas Industries to send these 'combat test products' as soon as possible. If you can make it in time, maybe they can be used on the battlefield. Practical test.”

"Roger it, Master, I'll send it right away!"

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

Let Baninger take the teaching team to coordinate the pre-war preparations of the entire army.

Amber got into a camouflaged command vehicle and opened the on-board command terminal.

Atlas's combat troops, in order to adapt to the subsequent battle, readjusted their organization during this period.

The 3000 people who arrived at Lubian 2, supplemented by urgently purchased combat vehicles, have now been organized into a combination of 2 heavy synthetic battalions + medium synthetic battalions + a firepower battalion, which can barely be regarded as a mixed force. Organized into brigade size.

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 separate brigade support battalion, but whether it was a professional technical unit or a professional vehicle, they would not be able to get it together for a while.

So he simply dismantled this inadequate support battalion and strengthened it into various combat battalions.

As for the plan to reorganize a specialized support battalion and support battalion, we can only wait for the arrival of follow-up troops and vehicles before making any plans.
