Chapter 1,421 Expedition to Panama
Jiang Chen, however, had no time to chat with Zhou Guoping. There were still many things that needed to be dealt with by him.
After the silence of the Obama, radio communications across Asia and the west coast of North America have returned to normal.
After turning around and arriving at the headquarters, Jiang Chen immediately held a combat meeting. All officers above the level of battalion commander of the expeditionary force appeared in the conference room. Including Han Junhua, who was far away at the Wanghai City Staff Headquarters, all attended the meeting through holographic images.
"According to the intelligence brought back by Governor Zhou, our people were sent to Panama as coolies. Although our enemies have been completely destroyed by weather weapons, our compatriots are not waiting for us to take them home!" said With that, Jiang Chen clenched his right hand into a fist, knocked it heavily on the table, and said sternly, "Li Wang, listen to the order."
"Here!" Li Wang stood up and kept his eyes straight ahead.
"You take two thousand expeditionary troops on the road and take our people home!"
"yes!"
Jiang Chen responded with a sonorous and powerful reply.
"Lu Hai."
"Here!" A burly man stood up and stood at attention.
"The Third Battalion of the Stalker Corps will set off immediately to assist Commander Li in completing his mission!"
"yes!"
"You will make the specific battle plan, I won't interfere," Jiang Chen glanced at the officers present, and continued, "Here, I will only provide you with an idea, and you can formulate the plan according to this idea. "
As the commander of the expeditionary corps, Li Wang stood up first and took the lead in expressing his stance, saying respectfully.
"But follow the Marshal's orders."
"Infiltrate from the inside, break from the outside, we must move quickly! We must be steady!" Jiang Chen stared at Li Wang, and then looked at the holographic image of Han Junhua standing next to him, "We must ensure that our colonists can return safely. Home."
The combat meeting lasted for an entire afternoon.
With the help of Han Junhua, every detail of the battle plan, down to the smallest detail, was carefully planned. All of this was just to ensure one thing, and that was what Jiang Chen had promised before the start of the combat meeting, to bring every detained NAC citizen home from the American concentration camps as much as possible.
Early the next morning, with two thousand soldiers, Li Wang said goodbye to Jiang Chen and boarded the Order airship.
Over the next two days, the Order will sail south along the California Peninsula toward Panama. This time Jiang Chen did not go there in person, but instead entrusted Li Wang with the task of rescuing the captured colonists.
According to the intelligence given by Zhou Guoping, the USN soldiers stationed in Panama are not large in size. Although they have been expanded several times, they are still less than a brigade, and many of them are new recruits who have just been recruited into the army.

In the laboratory, Lilith was facing the wreckage of the F-79, holding the cutter and tinkering with it.
When the weather strike struck, there were still many F-79s that had not had time to take off and were parked intact in the hangar. The things in front of Lilith were all fished out by people from the Beluga Research Station from the area where the Obama crashed.
Of course, for NAC, this salvage service is not free.
Jiang Chen spent about 10,000 credits on just such a pile of junk.
But no matter how expensive it is, it is still worth it. It is precious pre-war technology. Whether it is for NAC or the star ring trade in another world, it is a treasure that cannot be measured by currency. Besides, these credits are worth a dozen boxes of cans to NAC anyway.
There are still many good things sunk to the bottom of the sea, and they are being salvaged at the research station. As for what other good things can be recovered, we can still look forward to it.
But now, NAC’s scientific research mission is very clear. Jiang Chen gave orders to Shelter 27 in Wanghai City and the field researchers who arrived in North America with the expeditionary force to analyze the technologies in NS-90 and F-79 as quickly as possible.
The NS-90 project is progressing in an orderly manner. With the help of the employees of the Messenter Military Industrial Group in the U17 shelter, NAC's fighter research and development capabilities have almost made a qualitative leap.
On the F-79 side, with Lilith here to help, there won't be much of a problem.
For Jiang Chen, a boss who knows nothing, all he can do now seems to be the only option left is to wait.
"...There is no problem with the AI. The design of this sensing system and processor chip is quite interesting." Fidgeting with the parts spread out on the table, Lilith nodded thoughtfully, "Wait until we fully analyze this The technology inside, I plan to upgrade the parts on my body."
"Do these things still have reference value to you?" Jiang Chen unexpectedly glanced at the pile of parts in front of him.
"Of course," Lilith said without hesitation, "I am omnipotent in terms of programming, but in terms of hardware, my knowledge depends entirely on your research. This is the first time I have seen this kind of design. It is of reference value. It’s still very big. Without talking about this, when do you plan to return to that world?”
"Want to go back?"
"A bit." Lilith nodded.
For an AI whose virtual side is greater than its real side, the end of the world without the Internet is equivalent to a barren desert. Ever since she learned about that world from Jiang Chen, she had been yearning for it.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that she just goes back to the next book early...
"Wait until the things here are finished," Jiang Chen reached out and patted her head, and said with a smile, "If you want to go back early, you should work quickly. When you finish the things at hand, I will take you back first. It’s not impossible to go there.”
Although Jiang Chen said so, this incentive method seems to be of little use to AI. She used it with 100% efficiency from the beginning, so her expressionless face and the movements of the cutter in her hand were still as steady as ever.
Jiang Chen did not stay here to disturb her work, but went to the port.
Just now, the cargo ship from the Beluga Research Station dragged back a batch of cargo from the area where the Obama sank.
And this batch of goods is somewhat special.
Not some recyclable wreckage, but a living person.
"Fifty credit points per person! It can't be lower, otherwise we will lose money." Seeing that the NAC people were not interested in the "shipwreck" survivors they had fished out, the owner of the freighter couldn't help but become a little anxious. He argued to the staff member standing at the port who was responsible for taking over the cargo, "Think about it carefully. People who can escape on the diving ball must have a high status on the aircraft carrier! They are either scientists, military officers, or politicians in Congress. ! You must be able to ask something..."
"Scientists? In that case, how many of the people who can escape on the submersible are scientists? Do you think it's too much to deceive us like this?" The staff member responsible for taking over the goods said with a smile, "Besides, the war is over. What use are these prisoners to us? You can either keep them yourself, or you can sell them to us with ten credits, and we can keep them as coolies and use them as waste."
While the captain of the Beluga Research Station was arguing with the staff member, Jiang Chen, who received the call, had already arrived at the port area.
Just as he was about to find a person in charge to ask what was going on, Jiang Chen saw an interesting figure among the prisoners, and a playful smile appeared on his lips...
