The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 710, Tower No. 749

The base tower that 1002 was ordered to support was at tower 749, which was not far from tower 759. It took them a short while to get there, and the journey was very smooth.

However, he couldn't contact Jiang Hui on the way. Apart from the most recent message, the other party didn't send any instructions, remaining as mysterious as ever, which made 1002 feel a little disappointed.

But this did not stop him from proceeding with the original plan. After all, how could a good show be complete without the main characters?

-------------

Like No. 759, No. 749 was a small, peripheral tower, with only a few hundred personnel stationed there. But though small, it was fully functional, maintaining the same order and operating rules as other towers, with branch command, staff officers, and unit commanders.

Taking this place isn't so difficult in itself, but it's difficult to do so without alerting the main force.

The way G previously captured Tower 759 was a textbook example of this, and it's likely that the opponent is trying to replicate it... 1002 just needs to cooperate.

The branch commander of the 749th base tower was named Kabi, a name that sounded cute and childlike, but his behavior was anything but cute.

This guy is quite a strongman. Not in terms of skill, but in terms of his strong personality, stubbornness, and somewhat disobedience... Unfortunately, he also has some connections—so after offending Xilai, he was only sent here far away.

Of course, his personality is also reflected in his military strategy, which is quite different from that of 1002.

Before Jiang Hui emptied his pockets, the 1002 management team at the No. 759 base was quite meticulous, maintaining control over all aspects even when things were relaxed. However, he learned one of Xi Lai's bad habits—his connection with the people below wasn't close enough, and he was too ambitious. That's why Jiang Hui and his group wiped him out in one fell swoop, using him as a stepping stone.

Kirby was more assertive in comparison. His military discipline was strict and meticulous, and he tried to control everything. He did not tolerate any dissent within his ranks, making him a veritable impenetrable wall.

Of course, it wouldn't be too difficult for G to take it over, but the real challenge is taking it over without alerting the main force; that would be exceptionally difficult.

1002 was certain that G wanted to use the same method to break through from the side, so even though he couldn't find the opponent now, the opponent must be hiding in some corner, ready to take down the 749 base tower in one fell swoop.

So the group lay in ambush at a nearby outpost. Someone couldn't help but whisper a question to 1002, but was stopped by the other person.

These people were originally under 1002's command. Even though they were now under Jiang Hui's control, they still had an inherent sense of obedience and fear towards him. As soon as they received a sidelong glance from him, they quickly stopped talking.

Forget it, they can't interfere with the thoughts of these big shots anyway. Let them do whatever they want. After all... even 1002, who was so powerful in front of them, still suffered a defeat. He lost his territory and was eventually sent out to risk his life to support them.

Thinking about it, the guy who wanted to remind him shrank back and stared at 1002's back without saying a word.

Ignoring the guy who had suddenly interrupted his thoughts, 1002 contacted the person on the other end.

———————————— At this moment, the No. 749 base tower
"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Xi Lai is getting increasingly unreasonable, acting on a whim. They dumped him in this godforsaken place because they didn't like him. Honestly, if the other side hadn't refused to release him, he wouldn't have wanted to stay under their thumb. Now they want to send a parachuted-in soldier and expect him to accept it. Does they think he's any better? If it weren't for…

The young man rubbed the edge of the chair with both hands, then suddenly stood up, but then seemed to remember something and forced himself to sit back down.

In the short period that followed, in the empty command room, Kirby seemed completely restless, sitting down and getting up repeatedly until a knock came at the door, at which point he stopped.

He immediately regained his usual calm and composed demeanor, as if everything was under control, and said, "Go in."

The person who came in was an advisor who usually relayed Kirby's instructions. Unlike 1002, Kirby didn't like his subordinates being under his nose and sharing an office area.

What he craves is absolute authority and a high position. As the one in actual control, he wants to have everything firmly in his grasp. His mediocre abilities coupled with such a strong desire for control are a matter of luck or misfortune. So far, he's doing quite well in this small territory, having put in considerable effort to achieve this goal.

Therefore, they are even less likely to easily hand over what they have. Unless, of course, they have enough leverage to make them give up.

This staff officer had been working with Kabi for some time and naturally understood his personality, reporting the latest intelligence reports directly without any unnecessary words.

Upon hearing about the unusual activity at the nearby 759th tower, Kirby was visibly surprised. It seemed the other side had received the same instructions.

This movement certainly didn't mean they had discovered 1002's infiltration. After all, 1002 came out under the guise of providing support, and they had brought quite a few people out of the tower. What they were doing right now was completely clandestine... how could they possibly reveal it openly?

Therefore, the movement mentioned by this staff officer refers to the frequent changes in Tower 759 over the past few weeks, including changes in troop composition, patrol methods, and external strategies.

These changes, individually, weren't surprising, but combined, they were a completely different style from before, as if... a new leader had been appointed. Xi Lai was far away and busy with many affairs, controlling numerous towers, so he didn't have a direct sense of the change. However, towers 749 and 759 were close together and had similar patterns, so he easily noticed something was amiss.

"Could we send more people over...?" The staff officer was a smart man, and he could tell something was wrong from these movements. He realized something was amiss, which is why he reported this matter to Kirby as a priority; this was a tacit understanding between the two.

He was certain that Kirby would take the matter seriously and send someone to follow his suggestion, but to his surprise, the other party shook his head for the first time: "No need."

"Get ready, gather the team leaders, there's something I need to announce to them," Kirby said, bringing up an unrelated topic.

The staff officer was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. What was he trying to do?
How do we properly gather so many people together? This has never happened before.

Because Kirby always followed a hierarchical system of delegating authority, his operations were governed by a set pattern. Therefore, even those below him rarely saw Kirby in person; their only contact was with him through the orders passed down through the ranks. So why was he suddenly being summoned all at once? Was there some major event or change to announce?
...Actually, this understanding isn't wrong.

Kirby nodded: "Yes."
