Captain Damian stood in the center of the bridge of "Star Fox", surveying the various senior military officers and squad commanders sitting at the conference table. His facial expression displayed a steely determination, conveying the importance of the impending battle to everyone present. He pressed a button on the table, and a three-dimensional map suspended on the screen immediately displayed the potential locations of the Xyphos nest, marked by red dots.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to embark on a crucial battle. This battle may be the turning point in the years-long conflict between humans and Xyphos. Our goal is to destroy their main nest, and perhaps even eliminate their queen. I understand the magnitude of this responsibility, but it is also a pivotal moment for the survival of humanity," Captain spoke with a resounding and unwavering tone, each word sounding as if forged from steel.
Major General Li stood up, his gaze fixed tightly on the data on the screen, as if trying to burn those red dots into his memory.
"Alpha Team, our team, will be responsible for diverting the enemy's attention. We will quietly infiltrate from the flank of Xyphos and use specially designed high-explosive bombs to destroy their worker and communication drones. These bombs are carefully designed by the technical department, and once successful, will leave Xyphos without command structure for a period of time, creating the best opportunity for Bravo Team to deploy the nuclear bombs."
Captain Damian finished speaking and stood up again, his tone becoming more serious: "The code name for this operation is 'The Great Sweep.' This not only means that we will eliminate the enemy, but also symbolizes that we will use this battle to cleanse the shame and past failures of humanity. The action team must depart promptly at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please ensure that all equipment and weapons are ready. This is not just a battle, but a severe test of our will and determination."
Before Captain could finish his words, his gaze met with that of Major General Li. Both of them had an unspoken pressure in their eyes, but also revealed an indescribable determination.
Captain Damian and Major General Li still stood in front of the tactical screen, their faces displaying seriousness. The map and data on the screen kept changing, showing different possibilities and outcomes for tomorrow's operation. At that moment, a military officer stood up slowly.
"Captain, is it possible for us to request support from the defense forces of Four Minnow Star for this operation?" The young officer's voice was filled with hope, but also revealed a clear sense of nervousness.
Captain Damian sighed deeply and slowly pressed several buttons on the control table. The tactical screen quickly switched, displaying a data table. The table showed all the military actions that had taken place on Four Minnow Star in the past few weeks, each with a red casualty number.
"Everyone, please take a close look at this data," Captain said, slowly running his finger over each red area on the data table. "These are all recent battles of Four Minnow Star, and every one of them has resulted in heavy casualties. They are now barely hanging on, practically unable to defend themselves, let alone come to support us."
The atmosphere on the bridge had clearly become more oppressive, and everyone's expression had become serious. But Captain Damian knew that this was the moment he had to uplift spirits.
"Everyone," he spoke with great seriousness, walking to the center of the conference table, "in this difficult time, we may feel isolated and even despair. But this is precisely the test of our will and determination. In this room, each and every one of us is an outstanding officer, an excellent commander."
He looked around sharply, and every officer and commander felt as if they were being pierced by his eyes.
"We are the last line of defense for humanity. If we fall, who else can stand up to the enemy? We are not only here to complete the mission, but also to protect those who cannot protect themselves," the voice of Captain rose, full of passion.
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, the 'Great Cleanup' operation will officially begin. Faced with adversity and danger, we cannot retreat, we cannot fail. We are the best and the last hope. Let us witness this battle together and fight for the future of us all."
"Yes, Captain!" The officers and commanders responded in unison, and the entire bridge was filled with a rekindled passion.
Captain Damian's words are like a lightning bolt, cutting through the dark night sky with a dazzling light. Everyone deeply feels that no matter how rugged the road ahead is, as long as there is faith and courage in their hearts, they can definitely fight until the last moment and find their own path.
After the meeting, the tense atmosphere on the bridge was like a taut bowstring on the verge of breaking, finally getting a temporary relief. Major General Li and Captain Damian stepped aside and immediately engaged in a deeper discussion. On the tactical screen in front of them, various possible action routes, potential reactions of the XyphosInsect tribe, and potential risk factors were all marked out one by one.
"If Xyphos has deployed heavy troops here, where is our breakthrough point?" Captain Damian touched the screen with his fingertips.
"There will definitely be a breakthrough point, the question is the cost," Major General Li's brow furrowed even more, as if all the pressure was concentrated there.
At the same time, Major Jack stood not far away, gazing absentmindedly at the deep starry sky outside the window. He occasionally nodded "uh-huh, mm-hmm" in agreement, but it was clear to everyone that he didn't really care.
"Look at this major, he doesn't seem like a responsible officer at all," Leo complained to Mike in a low voice while observing.
Mike looked at Jack and sighed, "If there's any mistake in tomorrow's operation, he's definitely the culprit."
Leo became even more worried, "His irresponsibility could affect the entire operation, and what's even scarier is that it could lead to unnecessary casualties."
Mike quietly glanced at Leo and said, "Leo, you're talented. When dealing with a bad boss, all you can do is grit your teeth and do your best."
Leo nodded slightly, feeling the pressure in his heart not completely dissipated, but somewhat relieved.
"How about going to the lounge later and having a drink?" Mike suddenly suggested, "If we don't relax tonight, we might not have the chance in the future."
Leo looked at Mike and then smiled. "Okay, tonight we'll temporarily set everything aside."
Mike patted Leo on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this is exactly what we need, especially before the upcoming decisive moment."
The two of them turned and left the bridge. Behind them, Major General Li and Captain Damian were still discussing tomorrow's possible events with great concentration. Meanwhile, Major Jack continued to stand there nonchalantly, as if none of it concerned him.
However, no matter what difficulties and challenges they may face tomorrow, at least in this moment, Leo and Mike have found a temporary comfort and peace of mind. Perhaps this is the most precious psychological support and strength for them in the future tough battles.
