At the same time that Bit's advance attack fleet was advancing through the civilian jump point at high speed and heading towards the new southern star, Vice Admiral Charlotte Fat, the commander of the Fifth Fleet in the Milan Star Sector, was leading the main force of the fleet, and was speeding close at the position of six jump points one hundred light years away from the advance fleet. The speed of the main force of the Fifth Fleet is naturally not comparable to that of the advance fleet of the Bit Carrying the Sword Mecha Regiment, and even in order to avoid alarming the people, it uses military space channels, but under full sailing, it only takes about two days to pass through these jump points.
The incident that broke out in the New South Star immediately caused a sensation in the Fifth Fleet stationed in the Milan Star Zone, and the entire Fifth Fleet received calls from the Ministry of Defense, the Führer and the King almost at the same time, and these intense messages can be summarized into one instruction in general - that is, the Fifth Fleet quickly assembled and headed for the Imperial Frontier New South Star!
Those instructions and pressures from the top of the Empire were also the reason why the Fifth Fleet instantly gathered a sword mecha formation and a bit attack ship as a covert operation force, and sent high-speed reinforcements into the New South Star.
Vice Admiral Charlotte Farth knew very well that the five fleets of the empire represented the five most powerful swords under the starry sky of the Great Eagle Empire, and now the sword pointed to the border of the New South Star, which was the situation of war.
The Imperial Military has always had an unspoken rule, the five fleets are stationed in the five star regions, responsible for the territorial security of the Celestial Domain in their respective star regions, and once any of them are assembled and dispatched, this is the Empire's deterrence and pressure on the enemy country or a certain force, and enter a state of alert.
The use of two fleets means that the Empire is officially preparing for war, and the Empire has entered the first level of combat readiness. It means that the behemoth of the Great Eagle Empire is officially ready to strike at the opponent, just like a boxer, with an attack posture ready to punch at any time.
And the three fleets came out together, and the two fleets defended the country, which means that the head-on decisive battle is coming. The Empire rarely has four fleets at its disposal, except in a situation where it is not going to die.
Now that one of them, the Fifth Fleet, is sailing on its way to the New South Star, Vice Admiral Charlotte knows very well that this means that the Empire is launching a vigilant deterrent to the starry sky! Could it be that the war, which has been silent for hundreds of years, is about to begin, and the thousand-year-long peace process of the entire human social alliance will tear through the face of hypocrisy and reveal its hideous face?
...
The interstellar quantum communication call came in again. interrupted Lieutenant General Charlotte's imagination, and picked up, the person on the other side of the hologram, making him solemn for a moment.
"The navigation information of the Fifth Fleet, every hour, will be directly transmitted to the strategic center of the Ministry of Defense, and we will arrive at Xinnanxing in two days, when we will launch a strike on the other side if authorized by the Ministry of Defense!"
Charlotte knew that any promise he made now, any order he executed, whether right or wrong, would forever be recorded in history, and he had a sense of excitement that was opening up history, and a sense of nervousness, even guilt, that seemed to open Pandora's box. Because once the situation unfolds, they will never know what kind of fate they are about to face, and what direction the entire Great Eagle Empire will go.
But it seems that there are always some things in history that seem to be able to be reversed and changed later, but in fact, nothing can be changed in response to the situation, as if there is a giant hand of the Creator invisibly, pushing all this into a situation that is irresistible to mortals.
The so-called objective facts of materialism are not subject to human will, and this is roughly the case. Whether it is the change of regime, the progress of the times, or the war, from the perspective of later generations of scholars and historians, there is a striking similarity, as if countless accidents leaned in a certain direction, and the inevitable outcome was erupted due to a certain inducement.
Now, is this trigger about to emerge?
"The king spoke to me on the phone and told me not to have any worries, and that he would be the first to stand up as soon as the inevitable outcome came out." Charlotte's solemn voice slowly resounded in the command seat, "Intelligence shows that in addition to the Wassky destroyer, there are two Dreadnought-class anti-submarine reconnaissance ships staying in the public space of the New South Star Ring, these two reconnaissance ships provide all-round technical support for the Washsky destroyer, and that destroyer has a fig leaf, and these two Dreadnought-class reconnaissance ships are marked with the brand of Sipang, once annihilated, there is no possibility of turning back from this matter." "
"The Führer personally called you, this is already some kind of statement, in such a short period of time, we cannot make a decision through Congress, and this matter cannot go through the normal procedures of Congress... At least this call from the king, I believe that he and the prime minister have reached a consensus... But my instructions are clear, the Fifth Fleet order is issued from me, and you should try to maintain a deterrent posture and try to wait until the operation of the Sword Mech Regiment is declared unsuccessful... Do it again! "
Lieutenant General Charlotte nodded, looking at the middle-aged man on the other end of the hologram, this is just a very ordinary man, his eyebrows are a little crooked, his eyes are a little small, and his nose is not even high, he does not have the cool looks that those generals have been tempered, but everyone knows what kind of terrible power he carries on this man's back. What kind of whale waves will be set off in his actions and words at any time, and his appearance is indeed just like an ordinary middle-aged man who has been thrown into the sea of hundreds of millions of people in the empire and can no longer be found.
"... New South Star is full of thieves, bandits, gangsters, and air thieves. Mr. Chancellor, as soon as your daughter has any news, I have instructed the Sword Mecha Regiment to rescue you, which is considered the second target task..."
Charlotte said this, but was interrupted by the other party, the middle-aged man's face did not have the slightest ripple, and said lightly, "Lieutenant General Charlotte, I hope you are still clear about your duties as an imperial general, your purpose is to carry out military orders, not to have a soft heart like a woman." The Sword Mecha Regiment is a special force directly under the king, and their mission this time is very important, and there should be no mistake because of my personal reasons, and the consequences for the empire and the people are not something you and I can bear. "
"... But keeping your daughter safe is also the demand of others, and it is in the interests of the Empire. "
The man laughed, "When did anyone think that my daughter's safety was more important in their hearts than my biological father?" When did my daughter's safety be linked to the interests of the empire? For some people, don't think too highly of yourself. "
Lieutenant General Charlotte was a little awe-inspiring, and a little frightened speculated about the man on the other end of the hologram, and the words "Don't think too highly of yourself" contained the smell of gunpowder, who was the sword pointing at in this empire? Some of the people whose influence is active in the First Fleet, or a few big families who are in power behind them?
What does this mean? Is the contradiction between the majority and the minority in the empire becoming more and more accumulated?
"Cancel the second mission, the Sword Mecha Regiment must go all out to carry out this operation, let them know that if they fail to rescue that person, then behind them, there will be countless lives behind them to pay for their failure. Once the Fifth Fleet strikes, the situation will inevitably go into the abyss! "
Facing the instructions of the Minister of Defense in front of him, five-star Admiral Syalde, Lieutenant General Charlotte responded solemnly, "Understood! "
...
The Fifth Fleet is a huge scale in space, and the battleship is traveling at the third cruising speed in that millions of kilometers of space, ready to enter the gap of the jump channel, Vice Admiral Wang Qinian, another deputy commander of the fleet, finally couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, and said to Charlotte, "It's been too long with the Xipang Empire, why don't we fight with each other heartily?" Could it really be that the civilian heroes of the House of Commons and the noble representatives of the House of Lords who are in charge of the parliament have been corrupted to the extreme, and like the sissies, they tremble with fear when they see the war coming? A hundred years ago, the suffering caused by the Sipon Empire to our Great Eagle Empire is still difficult to erase, and most of the Tata Star District is still in a barren state, with thousands of miles of shanty towns, planetary ruins, hundreds of millions of casualties, these hatreds have long been imprinted in the hearts of many ordinary imperial civilians, and now the Sipang Empire is ready to move again, they want to be the lackeys of the Warsaw Alliance, we don't mind teaching them a lesson! "
"Now the situation of the Supreme Council of mankind is unclear, and the Warsaw Alliance naturally does not dare to act rashly, and although the Xipang Empire has some ambitions from the government and the opposition in recent years, they are also well aware of the consequences of starting a war, once they fall into the war of the Great Eagle Empire, they are bound to be difficult to get out, but they are afraid that they will not get benefits, and even the whole country will be dragged down, in this case, the two sides will naturally have to curb the situation of war. For example, in today's situation, two Dreadnought-class intelligence ships, covering the long-distance raid of the Vasky destroyer on the frontier of our empire, using all kinds of camouflage, are nothing more than trying to capture the spy... And this spy is related to the security intelligence of the national level, and we naturally have to take it back at all costs... But if the warships of the Sipang Empire invade the border and are known to the people of the empire, what a horrific incident it should be, once it is exposed, under the high-pressure protests of the people, a war is inevitable... So this thing has to be controlled within the scope of our control. "
Wang Qinian sighed, "Politics is a fig leaf for the country and big people, this sentence is indeed true." "
Charlotte's gaze was like water condensed like a flat lake, and she said with a terrifying calm, "Sipon and we both know that there is a reason why the two sides cannot start a war lightly... So they didn't dare to show their heads directly, and only dared to disguise themselves as those gophers-like empty thieves in the universe. And we can't crusade in the open, the Sword Mecha Regiment and the elite attack ships go first, and the purpose is also to concentrate the elite as quickly as possible and snatch our people from the opponent's elite special forces..."
"But if the advance sword mecha group fails, once that person falls into their hands, then our Fifth Fleet will take the last move, even if there is a danger of entering the war, we must leave the other party here, and we must not let them go back safely with people like this!"
Capital Star.
A milky white five-storey building in the 52nd arrondissement does not occupy a large area, but it is slightly old, and from the outside it looks like it is covered with a layer of dull dust, and the alloy frame on it is even mottled and rusty, and in some places, it is covered with verdant ivy.
Under these ivy, there is a thick and soft, hay-like layer of ivy leaves, if you look at the veins of those tenggans, like dry hair, hidden under the green new vines, densely packed, so these new vines have more and more a kind of vitality revealed in the image of withered glory.
This building has existed here for hundreds of years, those dry ivy, at least a hundred years old, those metal frame mottled rust, those milky white buildings have lost their original color and look a little dusty and dull, and naturally there is a trace of time and time passing mercilessly on it.
Although this modest building in the 52nd arrondissement has lost its youthful charm after hundreds of years, it does not prevent it from bursting with a sense of power from the light inside.
This is the Great Eagle Empire Defense Headquarters Building, only five floors covering an area of less than forty acres of buildings in the downtown area, but it is covered by the surrounding vegetation and ivy, so those luxurious commercial buildings and office buildings opposite the people who queue up from the sidewalk every day to wait for the red light to pass by, may not know that this is the national defense center of the Great Eagle Empire.
At this time, it was late at night in the capital star, but the various units within the Ministry of Defense were brightly lit up in an invisible and intense atmosphere.
In the defense secretary's room, Charles sat on a large massage chair in imitation leather, facing a document on a redwood desk with the national flag, his elbows propped on the table, his hands crossed and his fingers folded, leaning against his lips, silent.
As soon as he finished talking to Vice Admiral Charlotte, commander of the Fifth Fleet, there was a knock on the door, and after permission and authorization, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a thin appearance and sharp eyes walked in, wearing an imperial military uniform, but the insignia had the mark of nobility.
Above the epaulettes, there is an eagle's mark, and below it are the three gold stars.
Samsung Lieutenant General Stephen.
...
A lieutenant general is not Stephen's highest honor, his highest glory is the insignia on his uniform.
The Ivory Marquis family of Stephen is the hereditary aristocracy of the empire, because of the illustrious history of the family and the elite cultivation within the aristocracy, now Stephen is not only a three-star lieutenant general in charge of logistics and combat readiness of the Imperial Ministry of Defense, but also a senior member of the Imperial House of Lords.
The Great Eagle Empire's participation in politics is a parliamentary system, and there is a planetary council on the planet, which is responsible for the operation of the planet, and a star district where multiple planets are gathered, there is a star council, which is responsible for formulating unconstitutional laws and regulations for the entire star region, and is in charge of financial and other resources. Above the District Council is the Imperial Congress.
The Diet, known as the "brain of the nation", is divided into an upper house and a lower house.
The House of Commons is the body with the largest number of members and the most extensive function of representing and supervising the executive of the Cabinet.
In general, the House of Commons held the highest power in the entire empire. The composition of the House of Commons is the Speakers elected by the major planets, the Speakers of the Star Districts, and these people may be hereditary noble families, or they may be commoners who have been in politics for many years. The current Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet is elected by the House of Commons, and the administration of the entire Empire is under the supervision of the House of Commons, and the House of Commons is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of government officials, the formulation and adjudication of bills.
At first glance, entering the House of Commons has reached the peak of a politician's greatest ideals and aspirations in his life, but there is an invisible power above the power, which is the so-called "King's Whip" of the House of Lords.
The House of Lords is also known as the House of Lords.
This means that the entire House of Lords was formed by the descendants of the imperial royal family, hereditary nobles, and lifelong noble families over the long history of the empire. In the long history of the Great Eagle Empire, many aristocratic families once monopolized the energy, minerals, population, culture, information and other aspects of the empire, involving every vein of the empire.
With the progress of the times, after the establishment of a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, these great nobles hidden at the national level naturally occupied a place in the upper house led by the king, like a city in the clouds standing above the sky.
The House of Commons has the power to appoint cabinet personnel in the Reich and has the right to elect the Prime Minister, but on top of these powers, the House of Lords also has a "personnel recommendation power", that is, the highest officials of the entire Reich Cabinet, including the Reich Prime Minister, Supreme Court Justices, Executive Ambassadors, Secretary of State, and Minister of Defence, must first enter the "Recommendation List" through the House of Lords before they can be voted on in the House of Commons. Although the House of Commons has the power of impeachment against the Prime Minister and the Minister, impeachment cases must be tried by the House of Lords.
The House of Commons can put forward proposals on national policies and regulations, but they can only be implemented after they are vetoed and passed by the House of Commons.
The House of Lords led by the King plays an extremely important role in the formulation and revision of the Constitution, and all policies and regulations formulated by the House of Commons must not contradict the principles of the Constitution!
Although the power of the House of Lords is much greater than that of the House of Commons, for almost a long time, the House of Lords did not intervene in the control of the House of Commons over the government cabinet, and in the eyes of the people, the entire House of Lords is like a behemoth suspended in the sky, with a certain majestic posture of entrenched authority, maintaining the peaceful and quiet operation of the entire empire under the constitutional level, representing the supreme constitutional monarchy of the empire.
Despite the nobility of the House of Lords, it is still impossible to hide the influence of the ubiquitous power of the House of Lords on the lower layers of the pyramid.
If the Speakers of the House of Commons who have spent at least half their lives climbing to the House of Commons are still looking up at the stars, they must be looking up to the towering Babel seats in the House of Lords.
Being able to occupy a seat on it may mean that in the thousands of years of history of the entire empire, there is a mark of your existence, which will be imprinted on the starry sky map of thousands of light years, and will always be looked up to by future generations.
Therefore, in the entire Great Eagle Empire, nobility is a word and existence that represents the king's approval, nobility, tenacity, strength, and great authority.
How many generations of hard work and buried bones will it take to go from being a planet to becoming a councillor, to going to the star sector, and finally entering the House of Commons, and then climbing to the House of Lords? And how many have died one after the other above those thresholds?
Therefore, there has always been a golden saying in the imperial society - "Every nobleman sitting in the seat of the House of Lords is no less than a living fossil." "
Looking at the mark of the noble family of the House of Lords on the insignia of Stephen's uniform, a trace of complexity and depth passed through the eyes of Charles United. He was the Minister of Defense of the Empire, but even if he was in power for a while, the weight of a decision made the nobles in the upper house have to carefully weigh the three points, but after his abdication, these weights and positions naturally ceased to exist.
But the noble families of the House of Lords have been able to maintain a huge control over the economy, maintaining their influence in all parts of the empire, at all levels, in terms of people, history, energy, transportation, economy, and materials.
Therefore, how many families, after countless generations of hard work, just hope to occupy a place in the House of Lords, and leave a touch of splendor in the history of the Great Eagle Empire.
But in the end, this is a height that can only be seen from afar and can never be touched, shining like a star.
...
The skinny Stephen can be regarded as a "allimate" of Charles in the House of Lords, serving as a minister in a position of real power in the cabinet, although nominally from the support of the House of Commons, but these are far from enough.
Although the empire has developed to this time, it has enough democracy and progressiveness, although the big nobles in the upper house have privileges, they will never risk being criticized by the media or the people to arbitrarily exercise power, perhaps it is the self-discipline of these nobles, so now the power of the upper house is higher than that of the large number of lower houses, and they continue to maintain the system of constitutional monarchy, perhaps it is also due to the enthusiastic support of the people of the empire!
In the Great Eagle Empire, the aristocracy represents a group of elites, representing extraordinary people who are empowered with higher power and take on more responsibilities.
Because of certain restrictions on rights and obligations, the nobles of the House of Lords will not easily interfere in politics, but they will always choose some "spokespersons" to show their existence, or seek some "allies" of the cabinet or the House of Commons to express their interests and even fulfill some of their ambitions and ideals.
The fact that Charles was able to achieve the height of a five-star admiral was inseparable from the support of a group of nobles in the House of Lords. On one level, he also represents their interests.
"Why refuse?" Stephen's somewhat muffled voice rang out in the Secretary of State for Defense's office.
"The noble girl Xia Ying has become a thorn in the side of some people, and the big nobles in the House of Lords will never allow to see the marriage of your two families. The checks and balances of the two factions in the House of Lords have been going on for many years, and your actions will break this subtle balance, and some people are afraid of the drastic changes that will be brought about, so if it is possible to prevent the marriage of the two of you, they will definitely do it, although it is not despicable, but absolutely unscrupulous, because the struggle of the House of Lords cannot tolerate benevolent thoughts. "
Stephen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a wrong tone, "There is evidence that the air thief forces of New South Star have received news from your noble daughter Xia Ying and are searching for her, if Miss Gui is found by air thieves in this chaotic time, I dare to guarantee that she will never be able to return to the imperial society!" "
"That kid from the Chen family personally arranged it, and it is said that he used the energy of some allies to make the king's sword mecha regiment establish a second target plan... But you personally rejected it... I'd love to know if you really have no intention of bringing about a marriage? You must know the key role that Xia Ying plays in this... What's more, she is still such a lovely flower girl, as a father, you can't bear to watch her being captured by air thieves and suffering a tragic fate? "
Charles Shard's gaze was a little scarlet and pierced Stephen, and those ordinary eyes seemed to be some kind of huge wave, but his words were unusually calm, calm to the point of a terrible cruelty, "That kid is so nonsense, you are a lieutenant general, are you also so nonsense?" The escort of the Imperial frigate ended up burying the Pegasus, and now they are going to let the Sword Mecha Regiment carry out the second target plan, you must know that they are facing the opponent's ace special mecha force, and it is the Sipang Royal Domineering Special Forces that we have never had the upper hand in several staggered matchups! I know better than anyone what kind of opponent this special mecha regiment under the king is about to face! If it's because of the second goal of saving my daughter, the Sword Mecha Regiment can't complete the mission... So do you want to see the ensuing war between the Sipon Empire and the Great Eagle Empire? At that time, not to mention the marriage, you and I, and even everyone who planned all this, will be investigated for dereliction of duty! Do you think that you can be exempted from your status as a member of the House of Lords? "
After a pause, Charles continued, "He's my daughter, and I care more than anyone else about her well-being, but I don't joke with the fate of my country. If I were an ordinary father and wanted me to save her with the fate of the entire empire, I would do it! But now that I am the Minister of Defense, let me exchange the blood of countless sons and daughters of the empire for my daughter... Sorry, I can't do it because I can do it! "
"As for the people who are plotting and agitating the air thieves behind their backs, they will not be able to harm my wife and children, since they dare to do something with my daughter... I'll make them regret it! "
Stephen gave Charles a deep look and was silent. After a while, he turned around and walked towards the door, and when he was at the door, the thin figure stood and sighed, "How fortunate it is that the empire has you Charde!" "
...
Stephen left for a long time, and Lu Guoshou, the first confidential secretary, walked in, faced the five-star general in front of him, saluted, and then handed a document in his hand to him.
"My lord, the results of the investigation are in! According to reliable information, at the time of the shipwreck, Miss Xia Ying was followed by this young man, and the information reported that the two had a conflict and misunderstanding on the passenger ship. And this man once had a conflict with the gendarmes led by Li Yifeng, the deputy captain of the Tianma, for Miss Xia Ying in the cargo hold, and was beaten by the gendarmes but did not fall, and after that, he fought alone with Li Yifeng, if it wasn't for the wounded fight, Li Yifeng probably couldn't take advantage of him. "
"At the time of the Seagull's wreck, Xia Ying and the documentary crew were protected by him, and when he broke through the shuttle passage, he single-handedly knocked five guards to the ground, showing extraordinary physical fitness and fighting skills! Below, we have captured the appearance of the other party through the black box records of the Seagull..."
Lu Guoshou unfolded the document, and the next thing was a clear picture of the face captured through the recorder of the Seagull.
Further down is a series of textual materials.
"Here's where he came from and where he ... background."
Charles looked at the document in his hand, and in his ordinary little eyes that were surging with wind and thunder, it seemed that he had found a glimmer of light in the desperate and violent storm, and his eyebrows gradually raised, "Oh... It's called ... Lin Hai. "
"The ... of the Speaker of the Riverside Star"
"Bastard?"
The bastard, also the son of a nobleman, was in the office of the Minister of Defense, Charles muttered the name Limhai and his resume below.
In the eyes of the Charder, there was no difference between an illegitimate child and the orthodox son of a nobleman at this time. Ordinary people may smack their eyes because of the unjustifiable name of their identity, just like in the eyes of ordinary people, two peaks are towering, and there is of course a huge difference when you look closely, but the higher you stand, the more you put the mountain at your feet, the less easy it is to find the gap. When the altitude of low earth orbit is reached, what is the difference between the two peaks and the two stones on the ground?
Of course, Sharde would not care about the status of an illegitimate son of Lin Hai, or the son of a nobleman of the Count of the Riverside Star. He just cared that at the time of the accident, the man stayed with his daughter, and according to the current trend of the investigation conclusions, it is very likely that they escaped by shuttle together, forced landed on Xinnanxing, and embarked on a long road to survival together.
In the face of the in-depth investigation report submitted by Lu Guoshou, Charles fell into a deep groan again, the reason why he had the confidence to let the Sword Mecha Regiment cancel the second target plan to save Xia Ying was that this young man who was with Xia Ying and could confront the military police led by Li Yifeng was one of the factors.
As for the bigger factor, he felt compelled to ask for that person's help as an individual.
Picking up the phone, Charles hesitated for a moment, but eventually dialed it.
In a suffocating pause, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone, "Sorry, your call has been stripped out of the service area, please call again later... Sorry, the call you dialed has run naked out of the service area..."
After the busy sound was repeated for the third time, the calm-faced Charles finally spoke, "Dead fatty, don't make trouble." "
"Damn, you're not human! If you disguise Lao Tzu like this, you can hear it! Cheat! You're definitely cheating! The busy voice of the man on the phone, who was originally righteous, suddenly turned into ice water as if the skeleton supporting the spirit and spirit turned into ice water, and the whole skin collapsed, showing a frivolous and contemptuous tone.
"I need your help..."
"Every time I meet you old man, I am unlucky, and I will definitely bleed again when I go to the casino today! Bad luck, what are you doing by calling me? "I can hear a smell of obscenity and meanness on the phone.
Charles was a little crying and laughing, there are probably not many people in the entire empire who can talk to him like this, and this person on the other end of the phone, the entire empire's high-level people who don't have a headache when they see him, can't find a few.
"You're on vacation at Milan now?"
"Nope!" The voice denied it on the spot, "Where am I? I want to think about it... I'm on Tata Star Adventures and I'm penniless, so why don't you help me a little? Not much, a million eagle pounds is enough! "
In the face of this shameless voice, Charles had a lot of behavior to smash the phone, but he still calmed down under the reminders of righteousness and seriousness, and tried to calm down, "You are in Milan Star." "
"Nope!"
"You're here! I've locked your bearings through the Department of Defense Level 1 Positioning System! "
"Damn, when did you install it for Lao Tzu? It won't be in the clothes, will it... Lao Tzu has taken off his stripes, why haven't you found out... Is it inside the ass? There was the sound of a stumbling and quickly undressing on the phone, and Charles resisted the urge to drop the phone for the second time.
After a while, the other end seemed to comprehend, and a voice with lowered eyebrows came out, "You lied to me!" It's insidious! ... Well, I'm in. "
"I want you to help me save someone."
"Who? Beauty or handsome? Is I handsome, if I am not handsome, I can't save it, and the dinosaur girl doesn't need to talk! Lao Tzu specializes in saving beauties with big breasts, thin waists, and body lines! "
"I'll pass it on to you." Charles took a deep breath and fed the materials into the fax machine.
A moment later, there was a dead fat man's heartfelt voice on the other end, "Beauty! "
"This is my daughter, currently trapped in Xinnanxing, with a note that you already know the situation, the file data will self-destruct within a minute."
"Damn, do you want to be so formal, but it's just to save your daughter from danger... Also, how can you, an old man, have such a beautiful daughter? Empire icon? Innocent female anchor? You can't pick it up, right? Can I get started? Hey..."
Syllable! The phone hangs up.
Charles looked at the thick black clouds outside the window with a resolute face, he had confidence in the person on the other end of the phone, and in the entire empire, except for this fat man, he could not find a better person to entrust at present.
...
The Fifth Fleet's advance force, which was a million kilometers away from Milan Star and headed for the eighth jump point, was led by Commodore Bit and carried the Sword Mecha Regiment to the attack ship formation of Xinnanxing.
Brigadier General Bit, Clancy, the leader of the Sword Mecha Regiment Formation, and a group of staff officers hurriedly gathered in the war room one after another to watch the emergency information obtained by the attack ship formation.
"What's the situation!?" In the face of the first-level alarm of the red light, Bit had just arrived from the captain's lounge, and the military hats were a little crooked because of the urgency, looking at the formation map radar, a red dot approaching their formation at high speed!
"Report to Commodore General, at a distance of thirty thousand kilometers from our formation, a combat ship is approaching at high speed! It was detected that this combat ship was sent from the Milan Star, and it was close to a speed of at least two to three times the cruising speed of our attack ship formation! "
The bit was a little stunned, two or three times the speed of the attack ship? You must know that the reason why their attack ship formation is the advance force is because they are the most mobile starship formation in the entire Fifth Fleet. In this way, it can gallop to the aid of Xinnanxing at high speed, intercept the West Ponwalski destroyer, and the royal domineering force. Now there is such a combat ship, chasing it faster than them, what is going on?
"Immediately connect the other party's signal, ask to confirm the source, and the whole ship is ready for battle!" Brigadier General Bit gave a tough order at the first time.
"The other party asks for communication!"
"Take it! Enlarge the image of the other party on top of the telescope! "
On the light screen in the command room, the original shape of the battleship in the universe was revealed.
Everyone was instantly stunned when they saw this attack ship!
Because this battleship looks like a round turnip! Such a round turnip-like battleship was actually alone, approaching at a speed exceeding the full speed of the attack ship formation on their course!
And the entire carrot battleship was flooded with a pulsing flash signal, which read: "Fuck! Get out of the way! Lao Tzu borrowed! "
A round combat ship, sprinting from the rear at high speed to attack the ship formation, and when the entire formation was maneuvering to deal with this sudden event, this combat ship actually crashed into the center of their formation at the sixth cruising speed!
Countless exclamations rang out among the attacking ships.
At such a fast speed, without any slowdown, the crossing of the attack ship formation was tantamount to a bullet passing through the array of eggs, but the tragic event did not happen, this chubby combat ship passed through the formation with incredible speed and accuracy, and there was no incident of ship collision and ship destruction, but extremely domineering left a group of attack ship formations that were suddenly messy in the universe.
The entire fleet, even the flagship where Commodore Bit was located, was temporarily ineffective due to the emergency rotation of the hull, the gravity trim failed, and the insiders staggered.
The captain of the formation of the Sword Mecha Regiment carried by the attack flagship, Clancy, the proud personal disciple of the God of War Guardian in the army, was also thrown on the edge of a table, pressing the table to maintain his balance. Looking at the battleship that passed by the fleet like a storm on the telescope, he was inexplicably angry in his heart, the entire empire, only their sword mecha regiment dared to be so domineering!
And at this moment, there are still people who dare to break through the fleet carrying their sword mecha regiment so stubbornly, and drag it so fiercely under their noses, who is the other party?
After receiving the fleet's communication later, the originally angry fleet commander, Brigadier General Bit, couldn't help but laugh and looked at the "posture" of the round battleship on the telescope. Thinking of the domineering and arrogant attitude of the other party just now when he collided with the fleet, there was no resentment at this time, but a kind of demeanor that swallowed by himself with bitterness.
In the entire empire, only the former battle hero Tian Fatzi can ride the dust like this!
Lin Hai Corps?
Lin Hai was clearly made up of his own hands by Reddill. Seeing the group of kneeling air thieves on the sandbar in front of him, he was also a little at a loss, but it was obvious that these air thieves were even more helpless than him, some were full of doubts, some were worried, and some were very unwilling. Especially Shattrath, the second person of the Air Thieves, he knelt on one knee, but his right fist was clenched tightly, at this moment, there was only obedience to Reddil, and a kind of disobedience carved into his bones with a thin pursed mouth.
And the five Jason who were defeated by Lin Hai before can be said to be the most aware of Lin Hai's ability among this group of air thieves, and they are relatively able to accept all this, but they still have some puzzled eyes at Reddil.
In the face of the distrust and unconvincing of the air thieves, Lin Hai knew very well that these air thieves were used to running rampant in the universe, and there had always been only one leader, and at this time, they had to change their flag and belong to him Lin Hai, and it was normal to have resistance. Firstly, he is young, secondly, he has no prestige, not even anything. didn't even have a chance to let these air thieves talk about it, so naturally they couldn't convince the public.
And being imposed on this gang of air thieves by Reddier, Lin Hai didn't really want to tame them.
Almost all the big names in the empire have their own forces and teams, and every time the prime minister of the cabinet is replaced, he will almost carry out a major purge, and install his henchmen in the cabinet and various important positions. Behind every member of Congress is a group of conglomerates, helpers, and even some families, who also represent the interests of this group of people.
In this star, there are planetary systems of planets and stars of stars, and each system has fixed rules that affect each other, and these large and small circles exist in the stars, but they determine the position and height of each person.
The big guys have a circle of big guys and have their own forces. The little people have the friends of the little people, and they gag together and drink and roll the road.
It is almost extremely difficult for a group of people who follow themselves to occupy a corner of the living space in this great era of the universe and stars.
However, Lin Hai has always been a loner, he is used to the life of a cosmic knight, and does not like to be restrained and restrained, as the old man Jiang Zhi said, every man's heart is buried in the starry sky and the sea, he just wants to fly freely in the starry sky, just want to face the endless sea and sail alone in the wind, live a hungry drink of water and eat meat, tired lying on the deck to watch the blue sky like a mirror, or the vast starry sky life.
He knew very well that he thought so, but Reddil was different, and Reddil wanted to let the group of people under him get a better belonging and more powerful support. The purpose is to have a better future in this sea of stars.
But why is he sure that he is the one to rely on? Confident that you can lead them to a better future?
Because even Lin Hai himself has no confidence.
Even he wasn't sure what he could bring to the group of people who followed him in front of him.
Splendor? He's just an illegitimate child.
Into the Imperial Society? He couldn't even break his own limited inheritance.
As for the so-called safety of other so-called safety, they are still in the situation of being chased and killed by air thieves, and even Lin Hai's personal safety cannot be fully guaranteed.
Lin Hai felt that he didn't know his own abilities and energy, so how could he expect others?
Looking at Reddil, at the large group of kneeling empty thieves in front of him, at Shattrath's pursed lips, at Xia Ying's beating gaze, and at Jimmy and Warren's surprise and consternation, Lin Hai was suddenly startled by something strange, turned his head and looked over, there was already a long smoke and dust behind him!
The crowd changed color, this should be Raphael and Tavasi's pursuers.
A deep despair enveloped everyone again, they were exhausted, they had run out of gas, they had even lost the strength to flee again. At one time, he thought that he had got rid of this gang of air thieves, but he didn't expect that they were still like tarsal bones, chasing them closely, and with a posture of not giving up until they were driven away, they could even chase them to such a close distance of 600 kilometers from the second military base in one go.
It's really staring at their fat, and he doesn't hesitate to take risks!
Warren and Jimmy were almost desperate to jump into the van and run away again, they were numb to flee, but what else could they do now but escape?
But if you want to act, you must act quickly, and all the air thieves stood up one after another under the morale and fear that had fallen to the freezing point, ignoring the wisps of fine yellow sand brought out by the knees that knelt on the ground just now, and did not look directly at Lin Hai at this time, but looked at Redil one after another.
Obviously, although the large group of people in front of them has changed their name to the "Lin Hai Corps", in fact, Reddil is the soul of them.
And I don't know if he was worried about Lin Hai's face, but Redier looked at Lin Hai at this time, obviously wanting to give orders at this moment to Lin Hai. It is said that it is a decision, but in fact, in front of them, what other options are there besides one escape?
At the same time, Lin Hai felt that the watch-shaped electronic map on his arm suddenly had some abnormal noises. He lowered his head and looked at his wrist, and suddenly at this moment, a green bright spot appeared in the silence like a topographic map that showed the surface of the map and had not changed for thousands of years.
The orientation of the green highlights, combined with the surrounding terrain... Lin Hai could roughly confirm that this green bright spot was himself, or the Gondor mecha behind him. And in this place where he represented his own green bright spots, there were faint green bright spots around him one after another.
In total, eleven.
Lin Hai silently looked at his van, thoughtful, and then he scaled down the scale of the electronic map, and in the mode of the large map, sure enough, a lot of red dots appeared on the periphery of this group of green highlights. These red dots are a little dense, but they form a front and back pursuit posture.
Lin Hai's watch map was something David gave him when he left Jiang Zhi's underground space, in addition to a pair of headphones, which was in the Gondor mecha at this time. It was the watch he had with him, and the accurate depiction of the terrain on the electronic map of the watch had helped him gain a great advantage in dealing with Reddier and escaping his pursuers.
But Lin Hai discovered for the first time at this time that this electronic map could still be located?
Of course it's impossible!
The stellar "Phoenix" corona erupted violently, and the entire Skynet communication was interrupted. A positioning system is included. Now the entire Xinnanxing is equivalent to falling into an absolute "dark night", and the rescue team at the airport can't locate and find them at all, and naturally there is no way to rescue them. That's why the air thieves dare to invade on a big scale.
However, at this moment, on top of the rule that the entire New South Star cannot communicate and locate, the watch carried by Lin Hai suddenly had a positioning signal, and marked his location, as well as the location of all the pursuers in the distance, although those red dots were faintly displayed, and even some appeared from time to time, but it was true, at this time, it was like opening a pair of God's eyes, so that Lin Hai "saw" the direction of the pursuers for the first time from the perspective of God.
Lin Hai didn't know what David had done, but he knew very well that this "miracle" display at this moment had injected new confidence into him.
He raised his head and faced Reddil, who was waiting for his instructions, and the air thieves who looked at him with countless doubts, and said in a loud voice, "They are chasing after us relentlessly, just because they have no fear, thinking that we are fat meat, and we should be allowed to be slaughtered at will, but why must we be embarrassed gophers, allowing them to show off their power behind us and kill us?" If you trust me... Ten mechs, let's let each other know that we are not pigs slaughtered at will! It's here... It's time to return the color to them! "
Gondor led the team, with nine Marshall mechs behind him. Reddill replaced his Marshall mech, which had been nearly worn out in many battles, and was led by an air thief, who retreated towards the second military station in the rear along with the vans, and placed the next rendezvous in a forest thirty kilometers from the second military base.
Gondor pulled the mech one foot deep and one foot shallow on the sand, and behind him were Redil, Shattrath, and Jason and other elite air thieves.
Lin Hai knew very well that when he said that he was going to meet the pursuers, the entire air thief group looked at him in horror with neurotic eyes. Because obviously, they don't count Reddell's damaged mechs now, the total number of mechs that can fight is only ten, and the chasing soldiers have hundreds of mechs! If they don't run away quickly, once they are caught up by the other party, they will be completely annihilated.
So at that time, these air thieves looked at Lin Hai's gaze, not thinking that he was young and inexperienced and unable to convince the public, but that he had a bad brain. Shattrath smiled even more. It seems to be laughing at Lin Hai's stupidity.
But to everyone's surprise, Reddill did not object immediately, but after a moment of silence, he turned his head to the people around him, "What are you doing in a daze, you want to be a pig to be slaughtered?" Concentrate! We fight back! "
Then, despite Shattrath's repeated dissuasion, Reddier organized nine mechas, invested all the elites of the Air Pirates, and followed behind Lin Hai.
This is all the elites of Reddir, and it is also their last life-saving force at present, but it seems that they want to hit a stone with an egg under the decision of Lin Hai to suddenly go crazy?
Everyone thought he was crazy, and Reddirle seemed to have lost the sharp mind and judgment of his usual leader, and went crazy with him.
Reddier did not doubt Lin Hai's decision, perhaps he expressed his attitude to Lin Hai, representing his determination to hand over the Air Thieves to him and gradually retreat from the soul figure. On the other hand, it seems that he also has the luxury of seeing this Lin Hai that he can entrust to create some kind of miracle. Although this mentality of expecting miracles is quite naïve and naïve for Reddill.
In the midst of the Gondor mecha, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Lin Hai's mouth, and he was the only one in the entire large group who knew that he had not lost his mind.
He connected the headphones and whispered to the other end, "David, is that you?" "
Inside the headphones, however, there is an eternal noise, which means that there is no communication.
But his watch clearly set their place.
Lin Hai magnified the electronic map of his watch on the light screen of the Gondor mecha, and on the strategic terrain in front of him, countless red dots could be seen, just like a predatory octopus, reaching out its tentacles and attacking wildly towards the place where they were.
And those tentacles composed of red logos are clearly teams of mechas, and these mecha are all the vanguard of Raphael and Tavasi.
When he saw the map, it was clear to Limhi that Raphael and Tavasi had made a fatal mistake.
Perhaps they were too eager to chase them, so they pulled the team apart, the fastest mecha rushed to the front, and the slower mecha was behind the palace, so that in the slightly longer pursuit, their team formed a state of division that could not be taken care of, in which the small troops at the front and the mecha group at the back were almost separated by hundreds of kilometers.
The fastest mech is divided into many line segments, which are copied from different routes, and there is a gap of ten kilometers between these different route squad mechs.
Among the garbage stars, Lin Hai, who was familiar with various books, had also seen a rubbing of the ancient earth's Oriental military book. The core military idea above is that all wars cannot escape the truth that the strong can defeat the weak!
There have been many battles in history in which the weak defeated the strong, but a careful study of the tactical links is nothing more than using one's own strength to defeat the enemy's weakness, and then constantly piling up this kind of partial victory to obtain a comprehensive victory under the general trend.
Defeating the strong with the weak is just a myth of soldiers, and the real core of war is still in the big fist, and whoever is stronger with the barrel of the gun is the last word.
Raphael and Tavasi, the two big air thieves, combined forces, have nearly 200 mechs, of course, they can only retreat and keep fleeing! This is the fact that the strong oppress the weak, and even if the weak have the spirit of resistance, they cannot stop the fact that they will be completely defeated.
But the tide of war is always changing.
Even in the face of a strong opponent, how to use your strongest strength to strike at the weakest point of the opponent to achieve victory is the real art.
Lin Hai's character is not weak, and he is not able to swallow everything.
Since the Seagull was attacked and they crashed and landed, they have been fleeing almost all the way, and Lin Hai has also held back a breath of anger, which is hidden in the depths of his flickering gaze, glowing with electric light.
And now, in front of his general positioning system, the other party has revealed flaws. Of course, it was precisely because of the thought that it was impossible for both sides to position themselves that Rafael Tavasi made the mistake of dispersing his forces so fatally. Faced with the ferocious pursuit of Raphael and Tavasi, Lin Hai did not want to run anymore.
He wanted to fight back, and let out this vicious breath.
The ten mecha led by Gondor rushed to this high ground, and in a slope valley in front of him, more than a dozen "mantis" mecha that were chasing suddenly poured out!
These "mantis" mecha were obviously only targeting the gathering place exposed by Lin Hai and the others before, and they were running off-road at full speed at this time, and they didn't expect that on the road in front of them, ten elite mecha were interspersed with the ground!
Therefore, when I saw ten mecha interspersed and cut in front again, the formation of the entire "praying mantis" chasing the small force suddenly became confused. Even the mecha in the rear didn't have time to react to the emergency braking of the mecha in front of it in the high-speed running, so it crashed into it from behind, and the mecha turned over on its back! Panic and chaos!
The air thieves and others who followed behind Lin Hai had almost no illusions, but at this moment, they found that they followed Lin Hai to this slope, and the mecha of the opponent's squad actually drilled out on the opposite side, if it weren't for the other party's panic when they saw them, they once thought that they had been intercepted.
How the hell did Lin Hai know that there was a small team of mechs here?
"Do it!"
Under Lin Hai's shouting, ten mecha led by Gondora swooped down from the slope, and at this moment, ten elite mecha became hunters here, facing these intruding sheep! The killing began!
...
Lin Hai, who had obtained the ability to break the rules for some special reason, was about to kill Raphael, and Tawasi let out a vicious breath, naturally not knowing that in the second military garrison at this time, a high-power beam radar had quietly changed its orientation from its original position, from the attitude of looking up to the sky to a flat-firing state, and the target of the radar was this battlefield 600 kilometers away.
This kind of sounding radar becomes useless due to the attenuation of the irradiation distance under the interference of the Phoenix's corona, but its electromagnetic waves still have a strong searchability at about 600 kilometers on the ground. It is not difficult to see the entire battlefield situation at a glance.
At the stellar coronal node, the radar station of the second military base only maintains the minimum commuting standard, and the theory is to check the radar status once an hour, so at this time, the entire base, people naturally ignore the changes in this radar.
This seemed to be just a casual accident, but it had a god-like effect on Lin Hai.
At the bottom of the valley, the enemy mechs fell to the ground in all directions, and the ten mechs standing here were making a final inspection of the battlefield. "
"Except for the damage to the mecha arms of Qiuqiu and Allah, the rest are fine!" Shattrath still had lingering palpitations and reported, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, they are ready to fight and go all out, but this team of twelve mechs did not expect to cover up a team of mechs halfway, and they were in chaos, so they were all destroyed under their elite attack.
The battle happened like that, but it ended very quickly, from beginning to end, they had never fought such an easy battle, everyone didn't have time to reminisce about this short victory, and their eyes had already subconsciously looked at the Gondor mecha carried by Lin Hai.
After a moment of silence, Lin Hai quickly re-engined his armor and headed towards the shallows of the ravines in the valley!
The crowd followed, this time without hesitation.
