Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 396 A Group of Incompetent Teammates

Mechanical Earth: Capital Planet.

"Commander Lu, urgent report from the front!" The adjutant strode into the headquarters, his voice tinged with urgency. "A large-scale rebellion has broken out on Planet Revelation III on the Chalang front, and the Starfire Organization has taken full control of the planet."

Lu Sheng was bent over the sand table, the simulation model still in his hands. Upon hearing the news, he slowly straightened up, his brows furrowed slightly, and looked intently at his adjutant: "Is the source of this information reliable?"

“Absolutely reliable. The information sent by the network surveillance team indicates that about two days ago, the network surveillance team lost all contact with that planet, and their hidden sentries were also cleared out one by one. We learned about this from the mayor later.”

Which mayor?

"Kang De, a local official supported by Enwan Technology, has little political acumen, but he rose through the ranks by marrying a powerful woman and becoming her son-in-law." The adjutant's tone was tinged with disdain.

"When the incident occurred, he claimed to be commanding from the front lines, fighting valiantly against the Spark Organization's attack. However, according to intelligence from cyber surveillance, the mayor fled without hesitation after the first Spark Organization airstrike. Not only did he fail to organize any effective resistance, he also ordered all departments to remain in place, awaiting his 'next instructions.' As a result, his escape plunged the entire municipal system into chaos, with departments leaderless and in disarray. The Spark Organization easily captured the municipal building with fewer than three thousand men."

After listening to his adjutant's report, Lu Sheng took several deep breaths to calm down the urge to curse.

This wasn't the first time he'd witnessed the incompetence of these teammates. Every time he thought they'd reached their limit, they always managed to come up with something new.

“Commander Lu, Fuling told us not to worry too much. The Internet Surveillance has already sent members of the Disaster Organization to suppress the riots. I believe the situation will be brought under control soon.”

Fu Ling is the head of the Internet surveillance department, which, in terms of position, is equivalent to Lu Sheng.

However, the other party and Lu Sheng did not get along very well. Fu Ling had repeatedly commented in public that Lu Sheng was the biggest spendthrift on Mechanical Earth. The root cause of insufficient annual fiscal allocation was that Lu Sheng's military spending was too high. If military spending could be reduced to 30%, then Mechanical Earth would obviously not be in its current state.

Lu Sheng was too lazy to argue with this idiot. His military expenditure was indeed the largest expense on the surface, but in reality, the corruption of the three major corporations and officials was like something that had been swallowed up, and no one could see it at all.

So when Lu Sheng heard that Fu Ling's network surveillance had taken care of the matter, he didn't bother to ask any more questions. With the destruction of the aircraft carrier Lord Avent and the stalemate in the front-line advance, the final producers were already quite dissatisfied with his performance.

For the sake of one's political career, at times like these, one should adopt the mindset of "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no mistakes."

"Since the network surveillance is willing to take care of this mess, let them take care of it. This matter does not need to be reported again. The garrison troops on the Xialang front should also withdraw their front line for a period of time to strengthen the rear defense."

Lu Sheng watched the video of the aircraft carrier before it was bombed repeatedly, and he was 100% certain that the person who destroyed the aircraft carrier was Fang Lin's younger brother, Fang Yuan.

Apart from him, there is no other person on Mind Earth who possesses such immense psychic power.

"The fleet's deployment is too far out..."

Lu Sheng muttered to himself, attributing the incident to a blunder in the fleet's deployment. If the defenses hadn't been so loose, how could the enemy have bypassed the escort ships and silently infiltrated the aircraft carrier?

However, Lu Sheng probably never dreamed that the truth was far more absurd than his speculation.

Lin Xuan and Fang Yuan did not sneak in through any covert means, but rather entered the aircraft carrier from the landing bay under the guise of "visiting".

And not a single officer reported this matter to headquarters.

The reason is simple: this matter is so outrageous that even if it were written into history, it would be considered unofficial history.

Can you imagine? At a critical moment in the war between two countries, a heavy aircraft carrier, due to its prolonged stay in a certain area, became a "cash cow" for officers to embezzle fuel expenses.

In order to line their own pockets, they openly treated the aircraft carrier as a museum, allowing people to visit and tour it. Lin Xuan and Fang Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to easily sneak into the aircraft carrier.

Such an absurd operation is hard to believe, unless you see it with your own eyes, that a human being could do it.

But that's the reality. As the youngest and most outstanding commander of this generation of mechanical Earth, everyone originally thought that Lu Sheng should be able to command troops like a god and easily take on two opponents at once.

However, Lu Sheng always made rather abstract command errors in some key battles, leading to repeated defeats for the army.

Many people have questioned whether Lu Sheng truly possesses the ability to command troops. Even Lu Sheng himself has doubted this issue, because he feels that there is nothing wrong with his command, but he doesn't know why he always loses battles.

If he knew how his incompetent comrades on the front lines carried out his orders, he probably wouldn't have these doubts.

Just like now, Fuling told Lusheng that the network surveillance had dispatched people from the Calamity Star to suppress the riots. According to Lusheng's speculation, the network surveillance, together with the Calamity Star and the mechanical troops they carried, were fully capable of regaining control of the planet Revelation III.

Therefore, there was absolutely no need for him to mobilize the fleet to provide support.

But he probably didn't expect that the jinx Fuling mentioned was only Bei Xingweiming.

Yes, she was all alone, without any troops accompanying her.

Even she herself didn't know that her mission to Revelation III was to suppress a rebellion that had engulfed the entire planet.
