Chapter 10: The Plan

Hearing the scuffling sound of the single tactical armor walking, Ayrin raised her head just in time to see Li Xue walking towards this side. She raised her hand and gently waved it at Li Xue, while putting on a sweet smile.

　　Irene was already a very beautiful young girl, and with such a smile, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a beautiful girl. Now Li Xue felt some understanding of the ancient "only love the beauty, not love the mountains" "Zhou Yu Wang Beacon fire play the vassals" how these ridiculous things came about.

　　Walked to the table. Li Xue directly sat down, through the exchanges of a while ago, Li Xue was no longer so wary of Eileen's.

　　"Is this your food? How do I open it?" Ayrin asked, pointing at the army-green pocket that had been heated to the point where it was bubbling with a gust of hot air and fragrance.

　　Looking at the hot and fragrant bag in front of her, the dripping Eileen had already thrown the fact that she was a captive out of the window.

　　If it wasn't for the reserve of a young girl and the honor of her family that prevented her from acting too rudely, she would have forcefully unwrapped the bag and feasted on it.

　　After hearing Ayrin's words, Li Xue Li Xue expressed his understanding. Back then when he first saw this thing he also fiddled with it for a while before he knew how to open it, let alone Erin, an otherworlder.

　　"This is our military rations, what kind of military rations do you have over there?" Li Xue asked as he unwrapped the bag.

　　Through the items and status of military rations, one could roughly analyze the level of a country's logistics, cultivation, mobilization ability, and a series of other things, although it wasn't accurate, it could be used as a reference.

　　"The military rations on our side are not as convenient to eat as yours, and the flavor is average, not as fragrant as yours." Obviously Ayrin was also aware that this kind of issue couldn't be casually told to others.

　　Although the level of secrecy for something like military rations was almost zero, the other party was from a different world, so they could keep it a secret.

　　Seeing that the other party did not want to say more, Li Xue did not ask any further. Placing the opened military rations in front of Ayrin, he asked, "This is food from another world, can you eat it?" If Ayrin had any problems eating it, then Li Xue's sin would be great.

　　"There's no problem, I just tested it with a little means." After receiving the anti-scald bag, Ayrin added, "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to eat it, who knows when I can go back? We can't starve to death."

　　After saying that, Ayrin picked up the matching spoon and ate. Watching Ayrin's movements using the spoon, Li Xue understood that that world also had spoons or similar utensils. Was this a coincidence?

　　Shaking his head, he shook this question, which was still too far away from now, out of his head and asked, "Your companion is still flying in our airspace right now, but the sirens inside the various bases are like going crazy right now, and if it wasn't for the fact that she was carrying one of our fighters, she would've already been shot down dozens of times. Can you contact her?"

　　As Li Xue said this, he also felt helpless for Huang Xing's misfortune, this kind of thing was something that ordinary people really couldn't encounter.

　　Hearing Li Xue's question, Erin stopped the spoon in her hand and squared her shoulders, "I've already contacted her, but she hasn't replied, probably because she mistakenly thought that I've been captured, and the enemy is trying to confirm her location through false news."

　　The biggest reason why Ayrin hadn't contacted her just now was because she was afraid that the communication between the two of them would be captured, thus implicating Kleya. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up it was only natural to contact Keleia at the first opportunity.

Li Xue had a headache after hearing this news. Just as he was thinking about what to do, a mechanical friction sound came from behind him, and a member of the team pulled a long black cable over, handing the end of the cable to Li Xue before saying, "Report! Command communication."

　　Li Xue took the communication cable pulled from the Straight-30 and connected it to the connector of his hand armor.

　　A few moments later, Li Xue unplugged the cable, put it aside, and said to Erin, "The command has already understood your situation, we are a peace-loving country, and since it was a misunderstanding and there were no casualties on our side, we are not going to make things difficult for you."

　　Hearing this, Ayrin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this was already the best possible outcome for him and Kleya. But she knew that there was definitely something else going on, and she looked up at Li Xue, waiting for him to continue speaking.

　　Sure enough. Li Xue continued, ''As for the other matters you mentioned such as compensation, that's not something we can decide, it needs to be decided by the higher-ups and professionals. But now there is a very serious situation!"

　　Hearing this, Ayrin's heart clenched, but before she could open her mouth, Li Xue continued, "Right now, your companion, Clarea, is flying towards our country's border, and with her flying speed, she will leave our airspace in about an hour. And once she flies out of the airspace, the consequences will be extremely serious."

　　Li Xue stared at Ayrin and said slowly and heavily, "Therefore, we must intercept her before she flies out of the airspace."

　　A moment later, Li Xue added, "Negotiation or compensation, it will all wait until after we bring the two of them back."

　　After hearing this, Ayrin lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then raising her head, she looked at Li Xue and said firmly, "Please tell your country for me that on my life, I swear that I will definitely intercept Kleya before she crosses the border and guarantee the safety of your officers."

　　"But the performance of my divine aircraft is comparable to hers, and it will be difficult to catch up with her within an hour, so I need your country's assistance." Obviously she had seen the extremely fast speed of the J-10M and wanted to request to come over to help.

　　Li Xue stood up and said, "Let's go back to the base first, and discuss the specific plan with the command on the way." After saying that, Li Xue pointed at the straight-30 parked not far away, signaling Ayrin to follow.

　　He didn't care at all that this battlefield was still a mess above, and after they left, a third of the team would be left behind to guard all traces of this place, waiting for the professional team to arrive.

　　Everything on top of this battlefield, whether it was that ice fortress or that ice table and chair, all of them had an extremely high research value, and the higher-ups would immediately organize an expert team to come over.

　　However, no one noticed that the moment Erin and Li Xue left, the blue light above the ice fortress and the table and chairs that looked like water waves fluctuated for a few moments before disappearing. It was like foam under the sunlight, disappearing without a trace.

　　Five minutes later, in a burst of thunderous engine roar, two straight-30 heavy transportation helicopters rose up into the air, flying towards an air base in the distance.

　　By now, the theater command headquarters had already been abuzz with people, with discussions and arguments going on and on. After all, there was no record of intercepting a high-speed and uncommunicative airframe without injuring the personnel on it in the contingency plans!

　　"We can't contact the Yellow Star at all right now, we can't get in touch with the other side, we can only intercept it!" A staff officer suggested.

　　"We can use transport planes to drop fighters carrying Quartet Monopods for interception, as long as we get the people down, everything will be fine. And the active Quartermaster man-portable tactical armor can completely protect the fighters from the extreme environment at high altitude." An air force colonel who was in the middle of the command room spoke.

　　"That's easy for you to say, those special operations squads of ours aren't trained on how to intercept a contraption flying at Mach 0.5 at over a thousand meters and save lives. Are you Air Force treating our Army's special forces like Superman!" An Army officer in a green uniform said nonchalantly.

　　"And it's not like you haven't seen the combat videos, that thing known as the God Machine is simply a flying tank that can take out a platoon effortlessly, and in the air you can't stop even a battalion, not to mention a couple of special operations squads!" Another army officer chimed in.

Just as several officers were arguing, a technician sitting at the console turned around and reported loudly, "Report! The search team sent a communication request."

　　"Agree to the request and receive it on the large centralized screen." Lieutenant General Tong Tian, the commander-in-chief of the war zone who had been frowning and thinking, ordered to. Hearing the commander-in-chief speak, the several officers who were arguing quieted down and looked up at the large screen.

　　"Report, I'm Li Xue, the leader of the search squad, just now, in the midst of communicating with Ms. Irene, we discussed an extremely feasible plan."

　　Hearing Li Xue's words, the several officers below had picked up their teacups and pretended to drink water to hide the embarrassment on their faces. They were also in too much of a hurry just now, and surprisingly, none of them had thought of another professional.

　　"Eileen promised that she could intercept Kreia, but according to Eileen, her divine machine's performance is similar to Kreia's, so she can't catch up with her before she leaps over the borderline, and after Eileen handed over the energy to Kreia when she was covering her escape, Eileen's divine machine can only run for roughly fifteen minutes now. She wants us to assist."

　　"So, that Ms. Irene is trying to borrow our fighter to catch up with Kleya?" The commander-in-chief asked as he leaned his body back in his seat.

　　"Yes. She has learned that our fighters fly extremely fast and wishes to give her a ride." Li Xue replied.

　　"To catch up with the two of them within forty minutes, the active transport planes will definitely not be able to make it in time, so it's for this idea!" The commander-in-chief pondered slightly in his mind.

　　"Have you told her that our fighters can't carry extra personnel?" "Said that, so I plan to..."

　　"You're trying to apply for that Boom-15?" before Li Xue could finish, the commander-in-chief took over.

　　"Yes!" Li Xue was not surprised at being guessed what was in his mind. The one who could sit here, the one who didn't work from the grassroots, could be said to be extremely knowledgeable about every piece of equipment.

　　In can't hang people on the hangers of the supersonic flight of the warplane, and the built-in magazine of the fifth and sixth generation aircraft in the design of the time did not take into account to stuff people in, temporary transformation is certainly too late.

　　Therefore, there are only two types of fighter planes that can fly at supersonic speeds and have built-in bomb bays that are large enough to allow people to be stuffed into them without any modifications - the Boom-15 and Boom-20 strategic bombers.
