Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 146 Battle Makes Me Happy 28
Although Qiu Tong wasn't close to Ashley and Edith, she felt a little sentimental at this moment, as Ashley and Edith usually took good care of her.
Knowing that Qiu Tong prefers quiet and dislikes group activities, they are all considerate and never force her.
Even though Qiu Tong repeatedly refused their invitations to dinner, they still greeted her with smiles. Even when Qiu Tong was training late at night in the simulation room, they would send her messages to remind her to take care of her health and get some rest.
All the past events flashed through Qiu Tong's mind. She silently helped Li Li pack Ashley and Edith's belongings and send them to the logistics department.
The soldiers' belongings will be handed over to their families by the logistics department, so that they can remember them.
For soldiers without family members, their belongings were buried with their bodies.
The Earth's population has shrunk to only a few hundred million. Compared to the Earth in Qiu Tong's memory, the population has decreased by several times. Otherwise, people in every country in the world would not be mobilized for war.
With constant warfare, it's no wonder the population is shrinking. This was Qiu Tong's complaint when she first arrived in this world. There's so much land that one person could build a villa.
These fallen warriors were all transported back to Earth and buried with proper burial rites.
On the way to deliver the belongings, they ran into Cori, who seemed to have been waiting for Qiu Tong. Li Li took the box containing Edith's belongings from Qiu Tong's hands, giving the two of them a chance to be alone.
During the time Li Li was helping Qiu Tong adjust her mecha, she encountered Cori coming to see Qiu Tong several times. She had spent more time with Qiu Tong than Ashley and Edith, and saw Cori and Qiu Tong together more often, so she misunderstood their relationship.
Qiu Tong didn't notice the ambiguous look in Li Li's eyes before she left, and went straight to Kou Li, holding onto the conveyor belt.
"looking for me?"
Cori pinched the bridge of his nose and said wearily, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the simulation room and talk."
After saying that, he turned around and floated towards the simulation room, holding onto the conveyor belt.
Qiu Tong followed behind, but compared to before when she could encounter soldiers wearing the same uniforms as herself everywhere, there were now significantly fewer of them.
The ship was no longer as lively as usual. Qiu Tong and Kou Li drifted in the corridor for so long without running into anyone.
When Qiu Tong arrived at the simulation room, she was horrified by what she saw.
The entire simulation room area was completely destroyed, except for the first room which remained.
The only things on site were the repaired metal sheets and automated repair robots working on them, making a 'zzzz' sound as they repaired the sheets with their robotic arms.
The area is almost fully repaired, and at least their breathing will not be affected, so they can enter the area.
Otherwise, other areas that haven't been repaired will be sealed off until they are restored to a level where humans can live.
Given the current situation on the ship, no one will come to the simulation room for the time being. The people on the ship are either busy with pre-battle preparations for the next battle or dealing with the affairs of their fallen comrades.
Qiu Tong and Li Li also planned to hand over Ashley and Edith's belongings to the logistics department and then return to their posts to stand by in case the Imperial Army launched another sneak attack.
Qiu Tong was stopped by Kou Li halfway and could only go later.
Many soldiers on the ship have already sacrificed their lives. These past few days, Qiu Tong has had to take time out every day to go out on patrol, which is something that every mech pilot on the ship must do.
There's no way around it, we're short-staffed.
Even though the first simulation room wasn't destroyed, the simulation chambers and other equipment inside are temporarily unusable.
Because all simulators are connected to a database, if one simulator is damaged, it will affect the use of other simulators. The database needs to be adjusted in the background before they can be restarted.
The entire ship is now on yellow alert, and virtually no one will come over, so Raki hasn't had anyone adjust the data.
Cori chose this place to talk because he knew no one would come here.
Qiu Tong was eager to know what the upper echelons of the Chinese army were planning next. As soon as she closed the door, she impatiently asked, "The casualties were so heavy this time, what's next...?"
Before Qiu Tong could finish speaking, Kou Li interrupted her.
"I know what you're going to ask. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but we're still in the discussion stage and the detailed plan hasn't been released yet."
"We were too overconfident this time. We didn't expect the Imperial Army to send so many new models of mechs to fight us, which led to a huge disparity in strength between us and the enemy, and ultimately resulted in the sacrifice of so many soldiers." Cori said guiltily, covering his face with one hand, unable to hold back his sobs, his voice sounding very disappointed.
Akihime couldn't empathize with the character of Eri. In fact, she never felt like she belonged to these worlds; she simply viewed the events that occurred in these worlds as a passerby.
But now, seeing Corrie's dejected state, her heart was touched by his grief and indignation. Her once calm heart was now filled with turbulent waves.
She became fired up, with an urge to wipe out the Imperial Army. Her chest felt heavy, and she touched it, wondering why she was experiencing such strong emotions.
Qiu Tong forcibly suppressed this impulse and, after regaining her composure, offered her advice: "Didn't we recover the antineutron interference transpose? Why can't we keep this technology for ourselves?"
What I mean is, does our military possess nuclear weapons, or mechs equipped with the same anti-neutron jamming transposer?
After hesitating for a moment, Cori finally spoke up and said, "Although our military possesses nuclear weapons, we do not wish to use them unless absolutely necessary."
While nuclear weapons cause great damage and have a wide-ranging impact, they are also highly polluting, which will certainly harm our living environment.
International conventions stipulate that nuclear weapons cannot be used indiscriminately; any violation of this rule will inevitably lead to encirclement and suppression by other countries.
Although the Empire also develops nuclear weapons, they did not use them in this battle; they only applied nuclear energy to mechs, which is not considered a violation of regulations.
Qiu Tong said worriedly, "I understand the reasoning, but the problem is that we defeated the Imperial Army so badly this time. Do you think they will give up so easily? They have been planning for so long, and we have destroyed so many of their new mechs. Do you think they will let us go?"
"Currently, if they want to defeat our army, nuclear weapons are definitely their first choice, and we must guard against them!"
Qiu Tong had this concern because she would inquire about news from the Imperial Army every day. Through Xiao Fu's broadcasts, she could see and hear the Imperial Army's internal meetings from Wei Junchuan's perspective.
Not long ago, she heard the other party mention nuclear weapons, specifically a nuclear weapon called Sirius. They were discussing whether or not to use it to launch a long-range attack on our warships in this area.
From their conversation, I roughly know a few points: First, the nuclear weapon called Sirius is a long-range nuclear weapon.
Second: Sirius needs one or two hours to accumulate energy before it can be activated. During this time, any country could potentially detect this powerful energy fluctuation.
Third: At least half of the Imperial Army has approved this decision, and it is estimated that the Imperial Army will activate Sirius, but it is unknown when it will launch this nuclear weapon at our army.
Qiu Tong's biggest concern was the position of their warship. Judging from Sirius's firing range, if the fleet changed its position a moment before the enemy fired, Sirius's attack would land on the Moon Palace behind the fleet, and many innocent people would lose their lives.
Moreover, behind the fleet are not only the Moon Palace, but also civilian fortresses of other countries, all of which are within Sirius's firing range.
If Sirius is activated, these fortresses will inevitably be affected.
Qiu Tong couldn't directly tell Koli the true intentions of the Imperial Army. Whether he believed her or not was one thing, but she was most afraid that he would suspect that she was a spy planted by the Imperial Army. So she could only gently guide Koli to think in that direction.
She informed them in advance that it was possible to avoid this incident, but would the high command of the Chinese military believe her?
The Chinese army could move its position in advance, so that the Moon Palace could escape disaster, but there were other countries' stationed troops or colonies in other locations.
If the Chinese fleet had also shifted its position just before Sirius fired, those behind it would have been directly swarmed by the Imperial Army's nuclear weapons, resulting in their complete annihilation. (PS: Sirius will relock its target's position before firing, so to avoid Sirius's attack, you must immediately dodge to the left or right at full speed when it fires. Shifting the fleet in advance will still result in Sirius relocking its position.)
Qiu Tong had considered it carefully and concluded that the best solution was to destroy Sirius before it was launched. This way, our army and other countries would not be harmed by nuclear weapons, and the Imperial Army would inevitably suffer the consequences and be attacked by a coalition of several countries.
Not only would it eliminate the Imperial Army, a major threat, but it would also allow China to unite with other countries to encircle and annihilate them, making things much easier for the Chinese army.
Qiu Tong frowned, pondering the matter, unsure how to guide Kouri's thinking in this direction. She didn't notice Kouri's hand waving in front of her face.
When Cori didn't get a response, she spoke up directly, "Eri, I'm talking to you, why are you daydreaming?"
Qiu Tong was woken up by Kou Li and asked groggily, "Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something else. What did you say?"
Then Corry repeated what he had just said, his tone somewhat dejected: "This is also what Raki and I are worried about, but the general and the prime minister both believe that the Empire will not violate international conventions, and no matter how Raki and I try to persuade them, we can't convince them."
"That's because they haven't seen any compelling evidence in front of them. It's understandable that they think that way. No one would think that the Imperial Army would offend the other countries and activate nuclear weapons."
But if the empire's goal is to eliminate several of our countries with nuclear weapons, then the nature of the situation is different.
We can first investigate the recent movements of the Imperial Army, whether the area where they are developing nuclear weapons has been crowded with people recently, and also notify the other countries to pay attention to the Empire.
Regardless of whether the other countries believe us or not, we must inform them, but only if we obtain evidence proving that the Imperial Army has already considered activating nuclear weapons.
