From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"One Five" is the Earth side of the universe;

Looking at the home planet of mankind from a distance in the universe tens of thousands of kilometers above the earth, what comes into view are countless twinkling lights.

These spots of light are scattered like stars near the Earth's low-Earth orbit, representing countless spaceships and spacecraft.

Some are preparing to set off and begin their interstellar voyage, while others have completed their missions and are returning home.

These spacecraft come in a variety of types, including civilian cargo ships, colonial ships and cruise ships for colonization and travel purposes.

In addition, between these light spots, there are a large number of giant space stations "standing", like cities floating in space.

These space stations are not only transit points for space travel, but also homes and workplaces for tens of thousands of people.

Each space station is like a space fortress, equipped with complete living and working facilities, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people for long-term residence.

As one of the largest companies in the universe, Weyland Tangu has already "branded" its corporate logo on the ports of these space stations.

Space cargo ships dock and set sail at the ports of these space stations, continuously exporting resources and goods from the Earth to the colonized planets, or transporting them to the Earth.

Of course, there are also cargo ships and space cruise ships owned by other companies in these ports, which travel between the stars together with Weyland Tangu's fleet, forming a prosperous trade system in the "One Five" universe.

In addition to these commercial activities, a huge military defense system, the Cerberus system, is also deployed in its low-Earth orbit.

This should be one of the most powerful fortifications in the "One Five" universe. Hundreds of unmanned space stations carrying tactical and strategic nuclear bombs jointly ensure the safety of the "One Five" Earth.

The Cerberus system can not only intercept and destroy external threats, but also warn and suppress any potential invaders at any time.

At the same time, the Colonial Marines also have two exclusive military space stations in the orbit of the Earth "One Five", and more than 20 warships patrolling here, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Two space stations,

More than 20 warships

To be honest, even if the Human Empire had not been established, Atlas's corporate size and armed forces five years ago would have been enough to completely crush and control Earth 15.

After all, at that time, Atlas had already mastered the cutting-edge technologies of the universe such as "Avatar" and "Pacific Rim".

The current "15" Earth has actually entered a state of full war preparation.

The waterways in low-Earth orbit are extremely busy, and civilian ships must either set off in a hurry to engage in interstellar voyage, or quickly dock at the nearest space station for supplies and adjustments.

For the humans on Earth 15, it seems that external threats are getting closer and closer, making the situation increasingly tense.

The once busy and orderly low-Earth orbit has now become chaotic, with all kinds of ships shuttling back and forth between airports, desperately looking for a safe place to dock.

Some ships even headed directly to the moon for refuge, just in case.

The two private warships sent by Weyland Tangu to Wangchuanyue were the fuse for the current situation on Earth in "One Five".

When the two private warships were captured by the Wild Wolf Fleet, they automatically sent out distress signals.

Although the corporate giant, Weyland Tangu, was bent on making huge profits through the Wangchuan Moon and satisfying the selfish desires of the top management for immortality, they soon realized that the situation was quickly getting out of control.

The outbreak of alien insect plague, the intervention of unknown forces and all kinds of changes made them feel extremely uneasy.

Therefore, in order to avoid a total collapse, the company's top management had to take action.

They carefully "processed" some intelligence about the situation on the Moon of Oblivion, and on the premise of clearing the company of any responsibility, informed the senior authorities of the "One Five" human race of all this information.

Upon learning that the important colony of Wangchuan Moon had not only fallen but was also occupied by a powerful unknown human force, the human government of Universe "15" immediately went into high alert and declared a state of emergency preparedness.

Defense deployments were rapidly upgraded, with the Colonial Marines taking full responsibility for the security of low-Earth orbit and surrounding space. Millions of troops were urgently mobilized on the surface, focusing on guarding major cities, important military facilities, and key nodes such as orbital elevators connecting space stations.

The "15" authorities reacted so quickly not only because Wangchuanyue was a strategically important town, but also because the intelligence provided by Weyland Tangu clearly mentioned that their two private armed warships were easily defeated when they encountered that unknown force and had almost no ability to fight back.

You know, Willand Tangu's armed ships have always been well-equipped, and even the government's regular warships may not be able to gain any advantage when facing these ships.

But now, such a force has been wiped out in a short period of time, which has put the authorities under unprecedented pressure.

Therefore, the sudden emergence of this powerful human force was immediately regarded as the number one threat to the "One Five" universe at this stage. The government authorities not only strengthened the earth's defense measures, but also urgently dispatched intelligence agencies to conduct a comprehensive investigation to try to find out the true background and intentions of this force.

only.

Just as the government authorities of the "One Five" universe and the top management of Weyland Tangu gathered dignitaries, elites and representatives of major companies to prepare for a careful analysis and try to determine which rebel army or private armed force of a military-industrial complex this mysterious unknown fleet belonged to, an unexpected change occurred.

"One Five" A vortex emitting a faint blue light suddenly lit up in the Earth's low-Earth orbit, like a portal from another dimension.

As the vortex continued to expand, a breathtaking scene gradually unfolded for everyone on nearby ships and the space station.

Two Paris-class frigates belonging to the 14th Company of Space Wolves were the first to slowly emerge from the vortex, followed by four Fedas-class frigates and four Selune-class supply ships, which returned to the physical universe one after another.

Finally, there is the flagship of the 14th Wolf Company, the Late Autumn-class heavy cruiser.

After this two-kilometer-long behemoth returned to the real universe, the dark blue vortex quickly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

! !

This scene immediately plunged the Earth authorities into shock and chaos.

The top government officials were shocked to learn that this mysterious fleet was able to use superluminal navigation technology that was completely unfamiliar to them and reach the core area "silently".

Politicians and corporate representatives were almost in a panic, trying to understand and deal with the sudden situation before them. After all, leap technology shattered their understanding of space travel.

This means that the fleet of the unknown force is not only technologically advanced, but also has the ability to quickly cross galaxies and may even have the ability to cross "dimensions".

In sharp contrast, the authorities' senior generals were relatively calm.

Although they were also shocked inside, the generals quickly adjusted their mindset, initiated the emergency response procedure through the command center, and began trying to establish direct contact with the fleet of Wild Wolf Company 14.

The generals hoped to obtain more intelligence through diplomatic or military dialogue, or to reach an agreement with the Wild Wolf 14th Company to avoid the outbreak of war as much as possible.

Because these generals knew that rash actions might lead to a greater crisis and they must respond with caution.

At this moment, in the bridge of the Late Autumn class cruiser;

Various hard-light screens flashed, and crew members operated their workbenches in an orderly manner to ensure that all operations of the fleet were under control.

The captain was discussing tactics with his deputy at the center console, quickly formulating how to disintegrate the defense of this star field in the shortest possible time. The dense tactical data on the hard light screen reflected the defense layout of Earth 15. "Captain, the enemy is trying to establish video communication with us."

The communications officer stared at the display screen intently and reported to Logan Sigurd standing in front of the bridge in a steady and quick tone.

Logan, standing next to the observation window, overlooks the entire blue earth.

Wearing the heavy Hades-type Terminator power armor, his figure looks particularly majestic and oppressive.

Looking through the observation window, his eyes were as sharp as a hunter's, as if he had already regarded the planet as his prey. His beard trembled slightly as he grinned, making him look both uninhibited and confident.

After hearing the communication officer's report, Logan laughed suddenly: "Hahaha! The other party's reaction is quite fast. It seems that he hasn't been scared to the point of losing his mind."

He paused for a moment, with obvious sarcasm and contempt in his tone, "Interesting, then approve their video communication. I want to see what these guys will say? Will they beg for mercy or threaten?"

"Yes, Captain."

The communications officer did not hesitate and quickly connected the video communication to the system.

Then, a translucent hard light screen slowly appeared beside Logan as the operating instructions were given, emitting a soft blue light, quietly waiting for the other party to access it.

Soon, a picture appeared on the hard light screen—

He was an elderly general in a dark green military uniform. His expression was serious and steady, and his eyes were sharp. He was obviously a commander with rich practical experience.

The general stood in a large conference room. Behind and around him, politicians, senior military officials, and representatives of major companies were "gathered together", and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

When the other party saw Logan Sigurd's appearance through the hard-light screen, especially his terrifying physique after wearing the Hades-type Terminator, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

Expressions of astonishment and disbelief appeared on the faces of those politicians, generals and representatives.

Because of Logan's "tough" attitude, it broke their perception of normal human soldiers.

However, the elderly general in charge of the negotiations did not show obvious emotional fluctuations due to Logan's powerful aura and remained calm.

He straightened his uniform and said seriously:

"Hello, I am Admiral Logan Charles Marshall V of the Earth Defense Force. May I ask where you are from and what your purpose is?"

Hearing this, Logan Sigurd, who was standing by the observation window, frowned slightly, and his face instantly became gloomy.

He was already a little unhappy, but when he heard that the other person's name was the same as his, he suddenly became angry.

With a hint of mockery and strong impatience, he spoke coldly, his voice carrying a strong sense of pressure:

"I am Logan Sigurd, Captain of the 14th Company of the Human Empire and Space Wolves! As for the extra nonsense, I don't have the time or interest to talk to you!

I now declare that you have only thirty seconds to choose to surrender completely and accept the rule of our human empire and the Space Wolves."

He paused for a moment, his eyes sweeping across everyone on the screen, "If you don't accept surrender, then we will not hesitate to use force to force you to submit!"

As soon as the words fell, the upper right corner of the screen showed "30

29

28".

! !

And in the conference hall located on the earth, it seemed as if even the air froze in an instant.

The politicians and senior officials in front of the screen looked at each other in bewilderment, and many of them showed tension and panic on their faces.

The thirty-second countdown was like a death warrant, and the ever-shrinking numbers mercilessly forced them to make a decision within a short period of time.

After the silence, there was a violent quarrel;

"What? You want us to surrender in thirty seconds?! This is a joke!"

"We haven't even fought a single battle, why should we surrender?!!"

"Their fleet is not as big as our Marines! In my opinion, we can fight!"

"They destroyed Weyland Tangu's armed ships in an instant!"

"That's just using our numbers to bully the few! We won't necessarily lose on the front battlefield!"

At this time, the politicians, generals and representatives of giant companies in the conference room had fierce disagreements on whether to surrender.

The vast majority of people advocated going to war. They believed that without fighting a war, how could they easily surrender?

Historically, even France during World War II announced its surrender only after the war broke out. How could they admit defeat so easily?

Isn't it even worse than France at that time?

Moreover, all the people sitting in the conference room are powerful and influential. Their self-esteem cannot tolerate the proposal of surrendering before fighting.

However, among this excited crowd, there were a few people who remained rational and calm, including several representatives of Weyland Tangu.

They already knew the details and were aware of the terrifying power of the Space Wolves' 14th Fleet.

Especially the jump navigation technology, which directly revealed the huge gap in technological levels between the two sides, as if a low-level civilization was facing another high-level civilization, rather than a war between two forces.

Despite this, their voices seem insignificant in the fierce debate, and more people choose to ignore such warnings and still insist on taking a tough stance.

Finally, the countdown mercilessly reached "0".

"Hahahaha!"

And Logan just burst out laughing.

And that cold, resounding laughter echoed in the bridge of the Late Autumn-class ship, and was transmitted through the screen to the generals and dignitaries of the Earth Defense Force, instantly interrupting the fierce argument in the conference room.

Then, Logan's eyes were filled with amusement, as if he understood everything in front of him.

Said: "Well, there's no point in arguing anymore, because I already know exactly what choice you made."

现在

Let's have a good fight! Oh, no - let's have a war!"
