It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Suddenly, the live broadcast on the screen flickered and disappeared, turning the grey completely grey.

Little Four was dumbfounded. He wanted to connect to the satellites but he realized that he couldn't connect it again.

"What happened?" Ling Lan instantly asked Little Four when she noticed the images disappearing on the screen.

"I don't know. I was able to connect to the satellites but I can't now. Not only that, I can't connect to the satellites of Hailiya too." Little Four was puzzled. 'Why are the satellites of both countries down?'

Ling Lan immediately remembered the time when she was sneak attacked in the military academy. Her expression drastically changed. "Is our transmission blocked?"

"Blocking the system is useless for me. There is only one possibility for me to not be able to connect to both of the satellites." Little Four turned serious. "The satellites are spoilt."

"Both countries' satellites spoilt at the same time? Such a coincidence is impossible." Ling Lan directly rejected Little Four's suggestion.

"There is another possibility. The satellites were turned off by someone internally." This was the only other reason why he couldn't connect to them.

Ling Lan looked up suddenly. Flames of anger appeared could be seen spewing out her eyes. She said through her gritted teeth, "A traitor!"

"Yes, there is a Hailiyan spy within the Federation's communication system. Hailiya doesn't want the Federation to receive any news about our situation so they off our satellites. Furthermore, to prevent our hackers from making use of their satellites, they decided to turn off their satellites too." Little Four could only think of this reason now, as no country would turn off their satellites during a huge war. They would try to keep it working no matter what happened.

Li Lanfeng felt the anger and cold aura from Ling Lan. He asked seriously, "Did something happen?"

"Someone turned off our satellites. I'm afraid the Federation will not know of our situation. We will not be able to contact the Federation and get any news from them for now. Also…" Ling Lan walked towards the 3D map in the middle of the room. She pointed to the spot where Base 013 was located and used the short whip in her hand to circle the bases around Base 013. "Also, we will only be able to contact the bases closest to us using radio waves."

"There is a spy from Hailiya." Li Lanfeng immediately found out the graveness of their situation. "They probably destroyed our satellites instead of shutting it down. If something happens to the satellites, the Federation will know about it very quickly, and they will be able to reactivate it after some time, so shutting it down will only affect us for a short moment of time, and we could just delay them until the reinforcements arrive. If it was destroyed, the Federation will lose contact with Planet Haijiao entirely. If the Federation wants to send new satellites over, it will take at least one month before it arrives. By then, Hailiya will have taken over Planet Haijiao."

"We're in danger!" Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng said simultaneously.

In the orbit of Planet Haijiao, the three satellites that belonged to the Federation exploded in unison, turning into useless junk in the vast universe. Because of the huge explosion, the other three satellites on the other side of Planet Haijiao got damaged too. However, since the satellites were turned off beforehand, the explosion didn't affect the core system of the satellite.

The Federation's satellite surveillance department suddenly noticed that they lost contact with Planet Haijiao. They were shocked, and the entire department started panicking. Soon, the news of their satellites going down was reported to the military. A fleet from the planet closest to Planet Haijiao started to move out quickly, and their destination was Planet Haijiao.

However, halfway through their journey, an unknown fleet started attacking them furiously. This was when the Federation knew that something was going on in Planet Haijiao.

This piece of news made the entire military world flabbergasted. This meant that all the soldiers on Planet Haijiao were all alone with no backup, facing against the entire force of the Hailiyan army. With no way to receive any intel from the headquarters, they could only rely on themselves for now. This was an utter disaster. Without reliable intel, a base wouldn't be able to resist the attack from their enemy no matter how strong they were.

They must send in reinforcements!

The military knew that they had to reinforce the soldiers on Planet Haijiao and restart back up their satellites. They had to reach the various bases on Planet Haijiao so that the bases could be able to congregate together and help each other in resisting the attack by Hailiyan army.

Soon, many fleets from the planets nearest to Planet Haijiao started moving towards it. However, as the number of fleets they sent out increased, Hailiya also sent out the same number of fleets to stop them. The planetary battle became a tragic universe-wide battle. However, the Federation was already at a disadvantage from the start of the fight as they were further away from Planet Haijiao. Thus, they couldn't send in more reinforcements and their fleets couldn't come back to the Federation too.

While the Federation was in a mess, the various bases on Planet Haijiao were anxious too after they realized that they had lost contact with the Federation. As for the Hailiyan army, they followed their plan and reached their respective destinations. They waited at their destination for further commands.

"Little Four, change the signal of the base to a radio wave signal. Inform all the mecha clans to change their signal channel," Ling Lan quickly ordered Little Four. There was no time for her to worry about the internal problems of the Federation. She first had to ensure that all the mecha operators were able to communicate smoothly.

"Yes, boss!" Little Four quickly changed the signal and ordered all the JMCs to inform the mecha operators about this.

Ling Lan was not worried about the change in signal waves. All the mecha operators should know that once there was a problem with one channel, they should change to other channels. She was not afraid that they would lose contact with the base.

Ling Lan looked at the map in front of her as her mind churned out ideas furiously. She believed that there must be some other motive for Hailiya to make such a huge move even at the cost of exposing one of their higher-ranked spies. This meant that this battle was not a test like what it was in the past. She thought about the information Little Four gave her. Hailiya was afraid of their battle plan being exposed so they used papers to pass down their orders. Surely they must have other arrangements to be that careful. 'What is their motive? Who is their target?'

"Is it us?" Ling Lan somehow came to this conclusion.

She turned suddenly to Li Lanfeng and said, "Give me those printed documents."

In her mindscape, she ordered Little Four, "Little Four, show me all the videos you took of the Hailiyan army in the past few months."

"Yes, boss."

Little Four gathered all the videos and played them on the big screen. At the same time, Li Lanfeng took all the documents that contained information about the previous battle with Hailiya and passed them to Ling Lan individually. When Ling Lan nodded her head after reading a document, he would place that document on the table. If she didn't, he would throw the document to the side.
