Chapter 192 Rookie, Take a Look Around

A complex silence filled the venue.

There was sympathy, helplessness, and perhaps a touch of indifference that it was none of my business.

help?

How to help?
Send troops into that already decaying continent?
What will be the cost?
Where are the benefits?
The meeting moved into its final segment: proposals from various countries.

Some countries have put forward proposals to strengthen intelligence cooperation and technology sharing.

Several geographically close countries have proposed regional joint defense, dividing defense zones to jointly eliminate border strongholds.

The light in the eyes of Ganggo and several other African representatives gradually dimmed as each proposal was put forward.

Finally, it was the Xia Kingdom's representative's turn to speak.

The representative of Xia State was a middle-aged man with a calm and composed demeanor.

He stood up, but instead of immediately reading his prepared speech, he coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

Mr. Chairman, distinguished delegates

He coughed lightly and said slowly, "I apologize, but just before this meeting began, we finalized a new proposal. This proposal was made at the request of Principal Lin Yi and after comprehensive consideration by multiple departments in our country."

Lin Yi!

The name seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly lifting the somewhat somber atmosphere of the meeting room.

All eyes, including those of the delegates who had already begun to lose focus, instantly turned to him.

The representative from Xia picked up a newly transmitted electronic document and solemnly read it aloud:

"In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter of the Blue Star Community, and in view of the serious and urgent threat that the current African continental tide crisis poses to global security, the Xia Kingdom hereby formally proposes the following initiative: "Initiative on the Formation of the Blue Star Joint Expeditionary Force to Respond to the African Continental Tide Crisis."

"The core of the initiative is: each member state shall dispatch elite forces to jointly form a Blue Star Community Joint Expeditionary Force, which will proactively enter the African continent to carry out the task of suppressing and eliminating out-of-control nests, fundamentally curbing their expansion and escalation, and restoring regional security and stability."

"At the same time, our President Lin Yi volunteered to serve as the supreme commander of this joint expeditionary force."

The entire venue was initially deathly silent, then erupted into barely suppressed murmurs.

Take the initiative?

A joint expedition?

Lin Yi personally took command?

The combination of these keywords brings an immense amount of information and has a tremendous impact.

This goes completely beyond the scope of all previous "strengthening cooperation" and "regional joint defense".

At this moment, the most intense reactions came from the representatives of Gango and the African countries.

Gangguo suddenly raised his head, his mouth slightly open, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

After his initial shock, he tried to say something, but found that his throat felt blocked and he couldn't say anything.

The other female African representative next to him covered her mouth with her hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

The representative from Xia Kingdom calmly waited for the room to quiet down slightly before continuing, "This initiative aims to unite the collective strength of Earth to address common threats and accumulate experience for deeper civilizational integration and interstellar exploration in the future."

"Now, those who support this initiative, please raise your hands."

The voice just fell.

"Shh!"

The English representative was the first to raise his hand, almost as if by reflex.

The movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

At the same time, he leaned back and whispered to a slightly younger aide behind him without turning his head: "Send the full text of the message back to China immediately, top priority!"

The young aide seemed hesitant, instinctively whispering to confirm, "Sir, shouldn't we wait for the domestic decision before raising our hands in support? After all, this involves sending troops."

The English representative didn't even bother to turn around and look at him, as if he hadn't heard him.

The deputy sitting next to the representative, an experienced diplomat, glanced helplessly at the clueless newcomer, gestured for him to look around, and whispered, "Rookie, look around."

The young attendant looked in the direction indicated and was immediately stunned.

Inside the venue, the Russian representative had his thick arm raised high, his face displaying an expression that said, "I don't care what you say, just support me."

The representatives from Frank and Juncker raised their hands almost simultaneously, their expressions solemn.

After a brief exchange of glances, Representative America slowly but firmly raised her hand.

Immediately following, like a domino effect, representatives from one country after another, regardless of size or previous stance, raised their arms in unison.

In the blink of an eye, arms in the venue rose like a forest.

The scene possessed a silent yet powerful impact.

At that moment, the English deputy representative looked at that young and confused face.

"In foreign affairs situations, there are many unexpected circumstances, and it is impossible to wait for the lengthy decision-making process at home in every matter. This is especially true for important matters that involve choosing sides."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the sea of ​​raised arms, and said meaningfully:

"A wavering support is tantamount to a firm lack of support. In such situations, hesitation and observation are themselves a form of attitude."

"This attitude, especially for a proposal personally initiated by His Excellency Lin Yi, is absolutely unacceptable."

Looking at the scene before him where the agreement was almost unanimously passed, and reflecting on the representative's words, the young aide suddenly realized something, and a fine layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.

He quickly lowered his head and began to urgently operate the communication equipment.

In the center of the hall, the Xia Kingdom representative looked at the rows of arms raised without any objection and a calm smile appeared on his face.

"The motion is passed."

His voice fell like the final hammer blow for a new era's expedition.

Representative Gangguo finally lost control; he covered his face with his hands and slumped into a chair.
Soon, the official website of the Blue Star Community published a well-written but clearly targeted initiative to all member states: "Resolution on the Formation of the Blue Star Joint Expeditionary Force to Address the Crisis of the African Continental Tide".

The resolution provides a detailed analysis of the enormous threat that the out-of-control situation in Africa poses to global security, clarifies the unsustainability of passive defense, and formally proposes that member states, based on their own national conditions and capabilities, dispatch elite energy warriors and necessary support personnel to jointly form a joint force to carry out proactive clearing operations in the African theater.

The resolution concluded by explicitly announcing that, at the invitation of the Xia Kingdom and with the consensus of all parties, His Excellency Lin Yi, Principal of the Dongfeng Military Academy and Chief Military Advisor of the Blue Star Community, would personally assume the position of Supreme Commander of the Joint Expeditionary Force. Liu Yuan, Deputy Commander of the Dongfeng Military Academy's Training Corps, would serve as Deputy Commander.

When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

Almost all member states responded in writing immediately.

The response was particularly enthusiastic from those countries that had just experienced a bitter battle and deeply felt the terror of the abyss.

England first announced that it would send a special task force consisting of fifty elite East Frontier Corps trainees and some Royal Energy Force soldiers, and provide corresponding logistical support.

The Russian state stated that it would send an enhanced battalion of the "Giant Bear" energy special forces, along with a large amount of heavy equipment.

Frankish and Junkers, among other countries, also announced their own troop deployment plans. Although the number of troops sent was less than the former two, they were all truly elite forces.

Even America was personally announced by Supreme Governor Norton to be sending a mixed tactical battalion led by Andrei, which combined East Front cadets with America's top "Guardians" forces, and promised to be responsible for air military transport.

Other smaller member states, based on their own capabilities, either sent small teams or provided support such as supplies and medical care. No one doubted Lin Yi's ability to lead this coalition to victory.

His previous ability to downplay and dismiss five crises is the best guarantee.

Everyone understood that this was a real-world training exercise with manageable risks, conducted under the wing of an absolute powerhouse, and also an excellent opportunity to integrate their nation's elite forces into the core military power of the future planet.

At the same time, the merit system within the Xia Kingdom also updated its task list.

A task marked with "high reward" and "joint operation" was displayed at the top of the list to all eligible Source Warriors.

[Joint Mission: Expedition to Africa]

[Mission Description: Join the Blue Star United Expeditionary Force and travel to the African continent to carry out the mission of clearing out and suppressing the out-of-control Abyss Beast's lair.]

[Mission Requirements: Energy level ≥ 2000 points; pass the basic tactics assessment.]

【Task Rewards: Base merit points of 50000 per month, with additional merit points awarded based on combat performance, kill contribution, and teamwork, with no upper limit.】

Special Rewards: Participants will receive personal guidance from Principal Lin Yi and Deputy Commander Liu Yuan. Outstanding performers will have the opportunity to inherit unique skills or receive preferential treatment in rare resources.

[Note: This is a long-term rotational mission; the initial personnel will serve for a period of one year.]

The monthly base merit of up to 50,000, and the possibility of Lin Yi personally guiding them, caused a complete uproar in the Yuanwu Army and among the civilian experts.

The registration points were almost overwhelmed, and the screening and assessment work was carried out overnight.
-
Fifteen days later.

Gango, the capital's international airport.

This place was once occupied by the Abyss Beasts a few months ago, but in the two minutes that Lin Yi left the command center, the main force of the nest entrenched here was wiped out invisibly.

Subsequently, an engineering corps that had been urgently deployed from Xia State and an armed force composed of officials from Gangguo State carried out emergency repairs and defensive deployments on its runway and key facilities.

Although the surrounding buildings are still dilapidated, the main runway has been restored to its function of taking off and landing large aircraft.

At that moment, a tremendous roar came from the sky.

One, two, three massive military transport planes of various models, painted with the Blue Star Alliance logo, landed one after another on the wide runway, like giant birds returning to their nests.

The first to land was Xia Kingdom's "Kunpeng" large transport plane. As the cabin door opened, well-equipped members of the Yuanwu Army Training Corps and selected elite Yuanwu Army soldiers stepped onto this unfamiliar land with neat and uniform steps.

Next came the iconic heavy transport planes of the Russian Empire. The soldiers who disembarked were all burly and exuded a chilling aura, carrying heavy weapons that drew attention.

The English transport planes brought the royal soldiers led by Elizabeth.

Frank, Juncker, America.
More and more planes landed, and soldiers and energy warriors of different skin colors and languages ​​gathered here.

However, they all have one thing in common: they wear sky-blue combat uniforms and uniformly wear the emblem of the Blue Star Community.

After a busy day of transport, all troops were finally in place.

A vast expanse of land next to the airport, which has undergone emergency leveling, is about to become a witness to history.

Soldiers from different countries stood solemnly in formation on this temporary square, according to their respective units.

Soldiers from different systems would occasionally glance at their allies, assessing each other's strength.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Yuan stood on the makeshift platform, his blue combat uniform making his posture appear even more upright.

His gaze swept over the diverse yet powerful team below, a mixture of pride and pressure filling his heart.

He took a deep breath and, through the loudspeaker, solemnly announced to all troops:
"Attention, everyone!"

"Whoosh!" The sound of thousands of people moving in unison, their heels colliding, formed a muffled thunderclap that echoed across the empty square.

All eyes instantly focused on the podium.

Liu Yuan's voice was clearly transmitted to every soldier through the translation system: "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the first batch of Blue Star Joint Expeditionary Force, which should have been 12,000 men, is now present! Formation complete, awaiting instructions!"

As his voice faded, the entire square fell into absolute silence, with only the flag of the Blue Star Union fluttering on the flagpole.

Everyone knew who the commander-in-chief Liu Yuan was referring to was, and everyone was waiting for that legendary figure to appear.

There was no long wait, no grand procession.

The very next second after Liu Yuan finished speaking.

High in the sky, the clouds seemed to be quietly dispersed by an invisible force.

A golden streak of light, like lightning tearing through the sky, appeared suddenly at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception.

It did not fall in a straight line, but drew a beautiful and sharp arc in the air, landing precisely in the center of the rostrum.

The light quickly receded, revealing the figure within.

He wasn't particularly burly, wore a simple sky-blue combat uniform, and had no extra decorations on his body.

He stood there calmly, without deliberately radiating any awe-inspiring pressure or displaying any overwhelming power, yet he seemed to be the center of the entire world.

The air seemed to be stagnant.

Below, the twelve thousand elite warriors from all over the world, regardless of their previous emotions, at this moment, all their distracting thoughts were replaced by an instinctive sense of awe.

It wasn't a fear of power, but a direct feeling of a "higher being".

Like a tiny ship facing the boundless deep sea, like ordinary life gazing up at the brilliant starry sky.

Without any words or demonstrations, just by him standing there, everyone understood why he was able to become the commander of this allied army, and why he could so easily erase the crisis of national annihilation.

The warriors of Xia stood taller, their eyes burning with an almost religious fervor.

In this silence, those with the greatest strength feel it most deeply.

Elizabeth stood at the very front of the English formation, her icy blue eyes narrowing slightly. Her fingers, gripping the hilt of her sword, tightened unconsciously for a moment before slowly relaxing.

Andrei stood as solid as a rock, his usual confident and unruly expression vanishing instantly, replaced by an extremely solemn one.

He had witnessed Lin Yi's oppressive aura earlier than most of the people present, but his feelings at this moment were completely different.

If the last one was a breathtakingly violent impact, this one is a boundless and restrained vastness, like the deep sea.

Andrei clearly realized that although he had made rapid progress during this period, he was still as insignificant as dust in front of the other party.

He pursed his lips, and a more intense flame burned in his eyes.

Liu Yuan stood beside Lin Yi, and his feelings were the most genuine.

He not only felt the absolute gap in their life levels, but also vaguely caught the fleeting sharpness in the golden light. While marveling at the principal's strength and reaffirming his belief, he also gained some understanding of the meaning of sharpness.

Lin Yi's gaze slowly swept across the silent formation below the stage. His eyes did not linger on Elizabeth, Andrei, and the others, as if they were no different from ordinary soldiers.

Then, Lin Yi slowly spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but strangely it drowned out the sound of the wind and the rustling of the flags, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier.

"I am Lin Yi."

"Commander-in-Chief of the Blue Star United Expeditionary Force"

"From now on, I will lead everyone to victory."
