Changkong Fighter

Chapter 335 Next Action

After a week of rest, Liu Jun was finally freed from the pampered treatment and could move freely inside the ship. However, for the time being, he could only move around inside the ship and could not fly, as his beloved aircraft could no longer fly.

There was no time to mourn his lost aircraft, for the air force company commander found him: "Long Kong."

"Captain!"

Liu Jun, who was reading, got up and opened the door to find the company commander standing at the door, with the political instructor next to him.

"How's the recovery going?" the instructor asked with concern.

"Good."

The two men looked Liu Jun up and down and found him to be in good spirits. Blood tests and psychological assessments revealed no risk of Chang Kong being switched. In addition, the data recorded in the combat log confirmed that the Chang Kong in front of them was indeed himself.

It's not that they don't trust comrades, but as a war between two civilizations, the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations cloning humans with biotechnology and infiltrating them into the human race must be taken into account.

His appearance might not reveal anything, but after repeated probing by his instructors and psychology experts, it has been confirmed that he has no problems.

"Instructor, regimental commander?"

Liu Jun looked at the two men; they must have come to see him for something.

"Here's the thing. After careful consideration, your mission has caused significant damage to the alien civilization. Therefore, after internal discussion, we are preparing to award you the rank of colonel."

"Colonel?"

Liu Jun was stunned. He had only been promoted to lieutenant colonel not long ago, and now he had been promoted directly to colonel?

Looking back on this mission, it was indeed a near-death experience, but Chang Kong did return alive and brought back important intelligence from the other side.

Most importantly, Liu Jun used a hydrogen bomb to destroy a seemingly important building inside the alien civilization and destroyed the alien civilization's wormhole generator on the other side of the door.

This military operation provided a model for Tokyo University, and even for all of humanity, showing how to inflict heavy damage on extraterrestrial civilizations.

Most importantly, it gave Tokyo University an absolute advantage in intelligence. Other countries had to defer to Tokyo University if they wanted to obtain intelligence, which greatly helped to unite the nation internally. Of course, uniting all of humanity will always be a pipe dream.

Looking at the appointment letter and rank insignia handed over by the regimental commander, Liu Jun reached out and took it. Since it was granted by his superiors, he would not refuse it. The promotion itself was an affirmation of him.

The instructor stepped forward, removed his lieutenant colonel rank insignia, and then pasted on his colonel rank insignia.

Starting today, Liu Jun is a colonel pilot. Normally, pilots of colonel rank wouldn't be on the front lines, but this situation is different; the front lines need his abilities.

"Take a good rest. We'll be making some big moves soon," the company commander said, patting Liu Jun on the shoulder.

Big move? Liu Jun repeated it to himself. It seemed that the intelligence he brought back from the wormhole trip had prompted his superiors to decide on the next step. But what exactly was the next step?
"Alright, we have other things to do, so we won't disturb your rest any longer." The instructor patted Liu Jun's arm and then turned to leave with the regimental commander. They had a lot of things to do, and being able to take a break from their busy schedules was already a rare treat.

After they left, Liu Jun glanced at his military rank. He had been promoted to colonel before he was even 30, and he felt that he wouldn't be able to reach the rank of major general before he turned 40.

Even after being promoted to colonel, he still had no subordinates and remained a lone commander, with his wingman being the Dark Sword drone.

After closing the door to his private room, Liu Jun pondered the words of the corps commander. Could this big move be related to some idea about the stargate in the Pacific Ocean?

It might actually be true. If the energy device on the other side of the wormhole can shut it down, then it would be possible to try to launch an attack on another planet. And that's not all; wouldn't someone be tempted by all the things in that other world?

Just as Liu Jun had imagined, it happened in a room in the United Nations building in New York.

Representatives from all the influential major powers looked at the intelligence shared by the University of Tokyo with serious expressions.

Of course, this information is not complete, but only part of it.

In the footage, the pilot traverses a wormhole, and then the screen is filled with pixelation, making the experts present feel their brains tremble.

To avoid leaks, many key parts of this Dongda University have been censored, which makes the experts feel like they are watching a censored pornographic film, and they can't even think straight!
Then the pilot travels through interstellar space and begins his epic adventure on another planet.
The video ends after the pilot returns to Earth, but the other experts are not concerned with the pilot's "century-long journey"—a true example of "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"—they are more interested in what's on the other planet.

"Based on our analysis of the records, there are abundant oil resources on the other side of the wormhole."

Upon hearing the word "oil," the American representative straightened up slightly, as if triggering some key word, his eyes fixed on the marked location—the vast sea of ​​oil!
"Sir, what are the oil reserves?" the European representative asked excitedly.

As an energy-deficient region, they previously relied on Russia. However, after Russia shut down its gas supply, they were forced to become bitter consumers and buy expensive energy from the United States. Now that they have discovered a planet brimming with energy, how could they not be excited!

"It's not clear yet, but judging from the reserves shown in the images, they are at least no less than those in the Indian Ocean."

Hiss. Everyone present took a deep breath. The Atlantic Ocean's reserves of oil could last until the next century, and such a large amount of oil would promote industrial development, lower commodity prices, and thus boost the national economy.

So, here's the question: how do they get to another planet?

There is only one answer: to fight for a wormhole and travel through it to another planet.

Seeing the representatives' eyes light up, the Dongda representative turned off the screen, cutting off their greed, and said in a deep voice, "Showing the records is to give all countries a deeper understanding of the enemy. Our opinion is that we should not fall into the trap of greed because of resources. We propose to organize a military operation to destroy the wormhole over the Pacific Ocean on the other side!"

"We object!"

The United States was the first to object. Even though they were currently locked in a tug-of-war with an extraterrestrial civilization, they could not possibly give up so many resources. This was oil, and where there is oil, there is bound to be mold. Even if the oil was on another planet, they would always find a way to land there!
"Seconded!"

The European representative said in a deep voice that they could not possibly give up such abundant resources.
