People's Federation will live forever

"The flagship was damaged, more than half of our army was lost, and the number of enemies was far greater than ours...they rushed up."

"Lieutenant General Erich was killed, we have been unable to evacuate, the enemy is surrounding us!"

"General, we can't go back..."

With one scream after another, Admiral Matthew could imagine the one-sided collapse with his eyes closed. The battle situation was reversed in an instant, and half of his troops were killed by the enemy without even a chance to escape. Absolutely.Eighty warships of the investigation fleet, 10,000+ people including the marines were lost on that planet—why, why did I not see the message sent to me by my subordinates in time?Is it because he is afraid that his subordinates will send him private messages that are not in compliance with the system, and thus be caught by the secret agents of the base?

Matthew took off his military cap, grabbed his short gray hair, closed his eyes and shook his head. The remorse was over, the failure was over, and the tough soldier stood up.And behind him, the temporary small headquarters was already full of several senior officers. They had been here for a long time, but they were afraid to speak. As soon as they saw Matthew, they got up immediately. Brace yourselves, no one shows a downcast face.

"Don't pretend, if we lose, we lose, and I am responsible." Matthew waved his hand and said weakly, "You have also seen what Erich said just now, and he is also your old comrade-in-arms. You can trust him, what do you think? ?”

There are no weak soldiers under strong generals, and these officers have no nonsense: "Twenty minutes, wipe out half of the survey fleet led by Erich! Such opponents are extremely dangerous, and I am very concerned about another thing: Douglas said half a year ago They only had about 10 ships, and now we are facing more than 20 ships; half a year ago, Doug's fleet was one against two, and half a year later, we were almost one against one but lost."

A staff officer next to him let out a chuckle: "Our army's combat effectiveness is far better than that trash Douglas, so it's not that we have become weaker, but the enemy has become stronger!"

"Where did their fleet come from? We haven't detected anything that looks like a shipyard."

"Maybe dispatched from other galaxies, but the technical level of the other party is unpredictable, and it is very likely that they can build ships without a large-scale open dry dock."

"I'd rather believe that they were dispatched from other galaxies. Otherwise, the strength of a hundred usable warships would explode within half a year. Then we would have nothing to fight at all, so we should just surrender."

The brigadier generals, major generals, and lieutenant generals discussed together, and more and more details were brought up, until Admiral Matthew suddenly smiled bitterly: "I have listened to your discussion, and it seems that you all accepted Erich's conjecture— —Is the People’s Federation really another interstellar civilization? We are like going back to the era of the Bering War, fighting for one country against another.”

The generals who investigated the fleet were also very straightforward: "If you don't admit it, it can't explain our loss."

"That's it." Admiral Matthew looked up sadly, but did not continue to talk about the military situation, "Notify the fleet, prepare to evacuate this forward base, and then bombard all ground facilities...they will definitely recover from the wreckage of the fleet or the prisoners. Li learned about our base here, let's go, don't feel bad about the loss, anyway, we have already lost a lot today."

If one looked up at the sky above the dark planet where the advance base was located, the magnificent fleet had already followed his orders to moths to the flames, leaving only a few destroyers and transport ships.If the People's Federation could hurry up, it would be just in time to take down the swarming generals on the base of this planet—no wonder, General Matthew's decisiveness in evacuating was almost the same as that of his counterparts in another time and space, and neither were the subordinates he brought out. One is off the hind legs.

But "Sir, if you lose the battle, the United Earth Government, and even those in the army who oppose you and our investigation fleet will not let you go."

The subordinates reminded that what they said was true. Matthew will have to bear all the responsibilities of losing his teacher and humiliating the country when he goes back this time. It is easy to drive out the army, and it is not impossible to shoot him.United Earth has been supporting soldiers for 200 years. The army is weak inside and outside, and it can't fight foreign wars, but it has always been a first-class expert in cleaning up its own people.

"Otherwise, you have also heard Erich's words - our fleet can't defeat a civilization, only civilization can fight against civilization. This time I go back at least to let the high-level recognize the reality. As for killing me, Or kick out the army?"

Admiral Matthew's thin back had already walked to the door, but he chuckled a few times, making people think of who he was, and how many famous generals in the Allied Defense Army who could really fight.

"Wait, the war has just begun. I'm just going back to eat a few meals in prison. You guys should keep a low profile recently, but you must seize control of the fleet. In the future, if they want to deal with the People's Federation, they will find other troops besides ours. Is there anyone?"

Then, as if talking to himself, Admiral Matthew walked out the door with a smile, leaving a light sentence.

"As early as half a year ago, the first domino had fallen."

The chain reaction is unstoppable, uniting the earth, the people's union, since the flames of war have been ignited, when will it completely burn one of them out?

and many more.

Have we forgotten something?Is this really just a war?

"drop"

Chapter [80] One Hundred Thousand Army

In the dark sky, a ray of brilliance flickered.Travelers in the starry sky, please keep in mind that if you see a bottomless black ball, it is a wormhole, and if it is blue light, it must be the trace of the mass effect flight. In the years when the war broke out, it was a basic requirement for everyone to learn to distinguish this superficial feature.

There is no light in the wormhole, so the ship that appeared here must be the ship of the People's Federation.And see twenty menacing Twilight-class ships raised plasma naval guns, and the Hammer of Dawn is ready to break into the place where the light of the stars can't see, but the expeditionary force led by Admiral Matthew under the United Earth is in Sira The dark planet found five light-years away from the galaxy was where the huge expeditionary fleet was stationed before, and there are still steel buildings spliced ​​​​in containers on the ground, indicating that troops were stationed here not long ago.

"They run pretty fast!"

On the Leningrad, Colonel Ratolova cursed.As the United Fleet circled the dark planet a few times, it was confirmed that there was not even a single ship around, and there was nothing of value left—our enemy took everything they could with them when they retreated. For example, the small base established on the planet was also bombarded by intensive ion cannons, which clearly cut off the possibility of the People's Federation collecting even a little information.

"Captain, the Marines are ready to land... yes, opening the hangar, good luck, soldiers."

Interferon read without emotion, a dark compartment was opened in the abdomen of the Legion Dusk-class, and a Raven transport plane adjusted its four omnidirectional engines to get out of the hull. The fleet sent out a dozen Ravens at once. Knowing that the other party must have done everything seamlessly, but still can't let go of the inspection.

This fleet is the "post-war search task force" composed of Gamma and Delta Squadrons led by Colonel Ratolova. At the initial stage, the People's Federation is starting a comprehensive finishing work. There are a lot of things in the Sira Galaxy, but even if it is a manpower shortage, once the People's Federation tortures the intelligence of their advance base from the captured and surrendered Ground Defense Forces, Without hesitation, two squadrons were sent to kill the grass and roots.

After the great victory, perhaps because of the excitement of the victory, or perhaps because of the resentment of the tragic battle, Colonel Ratolova led his men on this five-light-year voyage with little hesitation—even though these The talent left the surface for the first time, and now it has rushed out of the galaxy?

Five light years, what an unreachable distance, people of later generations should write a poem for this, praising the story of the vast emptiness and fearless soul.But for Colonel Ratolova, there is actually nothing to tell about this long voyage. First of all, when entering the mass effect flight, because the continuity of time and space inside and outside the ship is cut off, not to mention the complicated gap between time and velocity, inside the ship As a closed small space, it is impossible to see the outside scenery—five light years, a hopeless distance for traditional spacecraft, and it took a total of nearly 20 days for the zero-element engine that the People’s Federation has improved to a hundred times the speed of light. Neither long nor short.

The interferon subroutine is in quantum communication with headquarters, comparing the ship's atomic clock with headquarters to correct the time. "It's still too slow. If we go through the wormhole of the circumsolar accelerator, we can reach it in an instant. At that time, Admiral Matthew will not be able to escape."

Latolova complained, thinking somewhat close to the recent debate in the fleet, about the pros and cons of the impact point engine wormhole and mass effect flight FTL, and whether it is the target of the next shipbuilding plan—shock The point wormhole engine takes a long time to prepare, but after preparation, it can instantly span a distance of up to light years.But mass effect flight starts at any time, and the instant return of the main fleet in the defense of Sira proves its unquestionable position in terms of tactical advantages...

Ratolova shook her head and brought her attention back.The colonel took a deep breath—in fact, no matter who he was, he couldn't catch up. His complaint was just because of pure unhappiness, which was not satisfied with the battle, and the hatred in his heart had not been repaid.

Not to mention that Colonel Ratolova was full of hostility, the ground troops quickly searched the leftover headquarters, and then sent a report to the flagship, and also mentioned a very mixed thing.

"Fleet Commander, the enemy cleaned up when they evacuated, but we found an old hard drive in a combat conference room."

It is old-fashioned, mainly because this kind of giant magnetoresistive storage is different from the curved light meter that Renlian is gradually adopting. I don’t know how many generations.The palm-sized hard drive is unremarkable, but the people's alliance soldiers who abide by the safety rules will not take it on the battleship. After setting up a isolation zone on the scene, a terminal that is physically disconnected from the network accesses the data.

"Admiral Matthew Bunker, Commander of the Ninth Fleet of the United Earth Defense Force Navy under the United Earth Government, would like to pay tribute to the Commander of the United Human Powers Council for this battle. I hope that one day we will be able to do so again under completely different circumstances. See you..."

There were only a few short recordings in the hard disk, and the technicians reported it to Colonel Ratolova after several verifications. The commander frowned and was speechless for a while.

"Interferon, contact the Fleet Administration, I want to report the findings of this trip."

---

The phrase "with respect" brought the name of Admiral Matthew Bunker into the eyes of the Supreme Military Administration of the People's Federation.Of course, we have known the existence of this person for a long time. From the mouths of the captives and the database of the enemy ships, every human coalition soldier has remembered the name of this person-the planner of the invasion of Syra, that is, the war criminal.

But speaking of this guy, he's really good at making trouble for us.

In the blue-eyed capital built on the archipelago, although the destructive war has ceased, the prosperous city has been traumatized everywhere, and its former prosperity is no longer there.The majestic city walls that were once used to resist the tsunami were riddled with potholes by shells, and the outer glass of the city's buildings was stripped off by the explosion, revealing the honeycomb-like steel frame structure inside. And the white phosphorous bombs are still burning, and the soaring smoke columns gather together over the city, as if the Renlian has a new Babel Tower.

These buildings are the creation side of civilization, and its destruction is also the other side of civilization.Today, Li Wei has seen the pros and cons of civilization but does not say a word. He just walks slowly on the streets that have been riddled with bombs and missiles and are not as clean as before. Each has three Dibi robots trotting forward.

Flick, bang, half a month ago, these robot soldiers rushed to the streets with cavalry rifles in their arms, but now they are equipped with multi-functional grapples and rushed to the ruins of the wreckage on the ground, collecting waste glass, moving the wreckage, and using welding torches. Cutting those twisted and deformed structures, the army of robots worked like ants, and tons of sundries were transported to the transport vehicles behind.This scene has lasted for more than ten days since the battle in space ended, even though the battle here is still not over in a strict sense.

"Da da da!"

Gunshots sounded, and a Diby machine cleaner who went deep into the ruins was hit by a shuttle of high-speed steel balls. The robot fell down with a flash of electric sparks, but a team of RIG armored soldiers rushed out from the ruins of the building. The soldiers seemed to think they had been discovered, and these people fled frantically, trying to get into another complex.

However, warnings have been issued since the destruction of the Dibi robot. The RIG armor may have endowed this group of soldiers with stronger physical fitness, but considering that they have not eaten and rested for a few days, playing hide-and-seek with the machine army in this steel jungle is too mentally exhausting What's more, before they ran a few steps, the harsh sirens of hunting drones sounded above their heads.

The hunting drone is a venom fighter that has shrunk in all directions. Although its size is less than one-fifth of the past, it is not a big problem to hunt a group of desperate deserters if it can hunt light-level fighters.The three-meter drone flew over the street at a height of ten meters. There was a ring on each side of the dolphin-shaped body, which glowed downward like a gas stove. The laser under the nose was spinning, The lock-on is only an instant, but there is some persuasion before firing.

"Soldiers of the Allied Defense Forces, your battle has been lost. The fleet that sent you here has been wiped out, the commander has died in battle, and you are trapped here without hope!"

Laser fire hit the road in front of the fleeing soldiers, and the partially vaporized road caused a small steam explosion as a warning.And not only that, a black liquidator armored car drove up from the fork in the road, the doors on both sides of the car body were opened, the Dibi robot with the shield in his left hand and the cavalry rifle in his right got out of the car and lined up, with the big shield in front , Aim the gun.

"Surrender, this is your last chance!"

Among the fleeing soldiers, one of them suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. This fell to the ground, followed by howls and screams:

"Don't kill me, I don't want to die, I'm still young!"

Several other people in the team panicked after this change, and immediately two of them knelt down on the ground, threw their pulse rifles to the ground, lowered their heads and raised their hands: "We surrender, no more fighting, no more fighting. "

"You cowards, get up!"

The remaining one who looked like an officer stomped his feet in anger, but when he turned his head, the hunting drone above his head and the shield wall of the Diby robot in front had surrounded himself—the Diby robot advanced to a distance of ten When it was [-] meters away, the explosion-proof square shield was smashed to the ground with a "boom", and the rifle was placed on the shooting port.

"I...I will fight with you..."

The officer reached out to touch the grenade at his waist, but suddenly his whole body floated up uncontrollably, as if someone grabbed his feet and lifted him to a height of five or six meters, which made him scream in fright—then the force After a moment of stagnation, the officer fell down after being uninvolved... probably won't die

Li Mo slowly retracted his outstretched right hand, and blurted out after watching the Dibi robot escort the surrendered soldiers into the armored vehicle.

"How can this be a hundred thousand troops, this is a hundred thousand mouths to eat! Damn, do you think I'm doing charity?"

PS: Ah, the happy farming era has come again!

Chapter [81] Worst case

A 20 army collapsed in less than a day?Even if it is [-] pigs, the Renlian will catch three days... Hey, three days is really not enough, after all, a full [-] days after the end of the battle, the drone troops who searched the blue-eyed capital and Sira can still find the hidden pigs. Soldiers of the Allied Defense Forces - this time it's not just the marines they sent down, but more of the escape pods dropped by the Ares fleet when it was destroyed.These escape pods are large and small, and they are scattered in various places, so even if Li Li himself is in the battle these days, the search work is hard to describe.

why?Because the fighting will of this group of enemies is quite strong, many soldiers even tried to fight guerrilla battles on Sira to the end, completely worthy of their name as elites.But they got one thing wrong, this is Sira, not Earth.

There is a huge airship floating in the sky... It originally belonged to the environmental monitoring department under the council, responsible for monitoring the dangerous wilderness of Sira, the places where the light of civilization cannot shine.This is a device that can stay in the wild for a long time and has extremely low consumption. It integrates solar power generation, communication and drone distribution platforms, effectively helping the People's Federation to manage this dangerous planet.

After the orc wars brought endless damage to the world, the People's Federation returned the inland of Thira to the original ecology based on the consideration that "the population is not enough to cover the continent". As a result, the old city was covered with green, and the houses in reinforced concrete On the cracked and weed-covered streets, all kinds of beasts are fighting - sometimes for each other's prey, sometimes just for a few corpses.

These wild beasts are so ferocious, they have different shapes but are huge and very aggressive. Just when a fight was about to decide the winner, the wild beasts suddenly heard a shrill scream from the sky, and their instinctive fear was activated and they fled away one after another. , at this moment, a four-paddle drone with an alarm flashing slowly flew down, and saw several carcasses of forest jackals lying here and there on the ground, and several of them were bitten badly by wild beasts, but due to the RIG armor Harder corpses that have not been shredded after all-the pulse rifle that has run out of ammunition next to it is silently telling how difficult these creatures are to kill.

The drone turned around and found the escape pod that fell out of the big hole on the ground. The appearance of this thing is considered complete. The interesting thing is that its door is closed tightly. Through the observation port, you can see the depressed expression inside. The soldiers of the Allied Defense Forces, these people are probably the officers on the ship. In 20 days, the limited supplies have long been exhausted. It is completely appropriate to describe them as haggard. Some people may even be killed by local poisonous creatures or other things. I was left dying, and it looked like I was going to die soon.

And when they saw drones flying outside, as long as they could move, men and women, almost all rushed towards them like crazy—it wasn't that these crazy hungry people wanted to eat this drone. But they almost wept and expressed their willingness to surrender, as long as they could get out of this horrible wilderness!

These few rescued people are lucky, but there are countless similar things. The environment of Sira makes the various training these soldiers have received completely useless, and there are many tragedies that are hard to look at——

In the Vulcan Industrial City in the hinterland of the mainland, a company-level troop fled into the nearby Gobi, but the giant mouth worms lurking in the sand sea were blocked from the Gobi by the sonic wall set up by the People's Federation in the past, but after the planetary earthquake, these monsters fled Out of the cage, it is impossible to verify when this unit with the levitation tank disappeared.

In order to avoid the ground bombing from the Hammer of Dawn of the United Fleet, a whole regiment of thousands of people from the Allied Defense Force accidentally discovered an ancient underground passage exposed by the earthquake. Subsequent radio broadcasts showed them suffering from "Endless!" "Blood-sucking bugs that look like hagfish" "They're in my stomach!" Horror scenes that terrified the listener - none of which was considered by the People's Federation By exploring the underground network, we just blocked all obvious passages and injected poison into it regularly. As long as the underground things don't come out, we don't want to go in again...to collect the corpses.

What the People's Federation couldn't do, naturally helped us do it, so after 20 days after the battle, Li Wei gathered all the defenders from all over the world and... or prisoners, except for attacking the blue-eyed capital and encountering Olivier The loss of Ya’s troops was relatively huge, and most of the others were completely organized. The 7000 landing troops survived [-], and more than [-] survivors were rescued. In addition, the personnel on several ships of the surrendered Space Fleet were actually all together. One hundred thousand!

And Olivia's face became ugly when she saw this figure - she immediately said something similar to Li Li: "Did we sign any treaty with this United Earth?"

Of course not, then "Including the captives of the Battle of the Storm, we captured a total of nearly 15 people. What can these people bring to us? Why do we help the United Earth raise such a population?"

This group of people is the enemy, except for a few defected second devils (the People's Federation also despises these people) who are completely unreliable, and most of these people are soldiers. They don't have the skills to build society but only destroy them. ——Olivia I don't hide my contempt for these people at all, and except for a few people who can have intelligence value, most of them really have no benefit at all, whether military or political.We not only need to keep them, but also prevent these people from taking up arms again and causing more trouble.

General Olivia's wrists have always been tough. When her eye sockets are covered by shadows, it represents the cold side of this noble lady, and people remember that she is still a man of promise under her beauty. Commander of life and death.

"Send them to the Efila ruins of Jiaxintu." Olivia said, Jiaxintu was abandoned by the People's Federation as early as the end of the orc war, and the capital of the security was almost forgotten, but, "Put them up, and then order the fleet to concentrate on bombing there. It doesn't matter if the nuclear bomb or the Hammer of Dawn, it will give us less trouble."

Facing Olivia's forceful speech, Li Ting...slowly shook his head.

"Li Wei, although we are called the People's Federation, it does not mean that we should be responsible to everyone. The "people" of the People's Federation is a political term rather than a biological concept. Except for citizens who are certified by the People's Federation, other human beings What does civilization have to do with us?"

Olivia took a step back, and then showed a strange expression. She didn't feel any emotion because of it, but she was just curious for a while: "Li Wei, to be honest, do you want to eat the United Earth?"

"Why do you say that?"

Li Ming deliberately asked back, in exchange for Olivia's disbelief and disdain.

"Think about it, it's not as simple as us using a few thousand people to take down the 10 people in Sira, and then use Sira to take down the 20 billion people on the MUV Earth, especially the frequent rebellions on the earth. Dare to say that you can eat it... People's Federation is just like this, don't you know?"

"I know very well."

Then Li Li was speechless. The two leaders were at the top of the tower of the old council building. The wind from the sea was always a bit noisy, blowing their clothes and moving their hearts.

Looking down at the city they built together, I vaguely remember that there were only a few buildings standing on this deserted island 13 years ago. bombed), but civilization still stands.

"Unite tens of billions of people on earth and dozens of galaxies."

Li Li blurted out and reported all the information that the People's Federation had in his hands, from population, politics to history. The general captives talked about the crowded, oppressive, dirty, and chaotic life, while the officers talked about the system, struggles, etc. , and the feasting and feasting on the surface of power, as well as the salvation of "integrating into one" and the "unification" that "will come" described by the stone worshipers.

People's Federation, or the united earth that Li Wei understands is a complex, colorful place where worldliness and fanaticism are intertwined, depravity and anger coexist, but there is no hope. Li Wei is very clear, and he must say that Olivier Ya misunderstood him.

"I'm not going to eat United Earth, really not, and to be honest, I don't dare, I'm afraid of diarrhea."

Li Li made a joke, especially when he said that the winking expression when he had diarrhea actually made Olivia burst out laughing.For a while, both of them laughed. Li Wei looked at Olivia, and the latter also looked at Li Wei. The intersection of their thoughts has long surpassed the ecology of the physical level, and then Olivia took the initiative to give Li Wei a face , she spoke first.

"As long as you don't want to be the savior of the United Earth, it's not about the expansion of civilization. I just don't want to see you continue to pretend to be the savior..."

"I'm not a savior in the first place, but it's hard for you to stop the people below from putting various auras on you."

Li Bing walked over, put Olivia's shoulders in his arms and hugged the commander, who followed Li Bing's strength and stood next to him without resistance, facing the sea, the cold wind was cold, but neither of them cared , I saw Li Zhi pointing Jiangshan, full of nostalgia.

"I have never forgotten my identity. I am not a savior, and I am just a soul longing for freedom. I established the People's Federation because I think this is a land of freedom. I can build my own Utopia, isn't it? Selfish?"

"It's okay." Olivia chuckled, "Actually, you were just being pushed away. People here need an order and only you can give them order. I pushed you in the process." Bundle."

"Yeah, no matter what, the People's Federation was established because of me, so I have to take responsibility."

Li Wei's voice gradually became serious. The conversation between the two seemed to have nothing to do with how to deal with those captives, but both leaders knew that the key was not to support 15 people, let alone 15 people, or even 5000 million people. I can afford it!People are just people, and the real key lies behind the United Earth.

Because it is the most recent and the first threat to the People's Federation since the sinking. It is true that the enemy is strong and we are weak.

"How to be responsible? First of all, I must uphold the righteousness of the People's Federation. Although this is just a banner, if it cannot be erected, then our foundation will be shaken. It is a matter of people's trust. I will not slaughter these captives... You can blame me for being too arrogant back then, insisting on setting up such a big banner of human beings."

Olivia shook her head slightly: "I understand, it's not impossible to raise it, anyway, you are responsible for raising it... I don't agree with the latter sentence, if your goal is not so ambitious, then I will look down on you!"

Li Wei blinked his eyes, as if he was praising himself, and then came the second point.
