At the Federal Joint Staff Headquarters, an old man was sitting at his desk, staring at a report in front of him. He frowned, pressed a button on the desk, and said: "Check the real reason why Hathaway is taking leave.

.”

While the secretary was doing the work, the old man rubbed his face and looked a little tired, then opened the star map and looked at the front line diagram of the Federation and the Dynasty. Hathaway is the best general in the entire Federation in the past six months, and he is preparing to nominate Hathaway.

Wei was promoted to general. Unexpectedly, at this time, Hathaway suddenly asked for a leave of absence, which lasted for 2 months.

The current war with the dynasty is not optimistic. The Federation seems to be fighting smoothly, but in fact the strings have been stretched to the tightest. The situation within the Federation is now even worse than that of the dynasty. There is a comprehensive shortage of all kinds of materials, the currency system is almost collapsed, and the transport ships are all

After being drafted to the front line, many starfields in the rear are actually in a state of isolation. The Federation is already in its fifth round of recruitment, and many crew members are sent to the front line after only one month of training. Today's starships are different.

For aircraft carriers in the home star era, the requirements for crew members were much higher than that. With so many unqualified crew members boarding the ship, it is impossible for the combat effectiveness not to be affected.

At this time, the impact of Xu Bingyan's attack on the Federation truly became apparent. A quarter of the Federation's entire economy was wiped out, a third of its industry was wiped out, and half of the starship industry was completely lost. The Federation was like a

The seriously injured patient, whose wounds were still bleeding, had to fight in the second battle.

On the surface, the situation in the Federation seems to be slightly better than that of the Dynasty, but the old man knows that it is because the patriotic enthusiasm of many Federation citizens has not receded after the Recruitment Campaign. Many people brought their own fighter planes and starships to participate in the war. Many local cities and communities

People spontaneously organized themselves to exchange what they had, and this kept prices from collapsing. However, people's food reserves are limited, and supplies are also limited. If the dynasty cannot be solved before people's food reserves are exhausted, I am afraid that a rationing system will really be implemented.

Can Dynasty be solved?

This was a headache for the old man. Originally, the dynasty had reached its last moment, and the few remaining fleets were struggling to support the leaky defense line. Some people in the upper echelons of the dynasty and within the fleet began to secretly contact the Federation and inquire about the terms of surrender. As long as they persisted

In a few months, annihilating those fleets in the dynasty fleet that are determined to fight will force the dynasty to surrender unconditionally, thereby dismembering the largest force in human history. As a result, Lightyear was born, and first designed the weird Frost Wolf class

The capital ship was then built at an incredible speed. The two Frostwolf-class ships continued the life of the dynasty for several months. Then Lightyear went out on his own, defeating the Community and the Federation and losing their troops. The last few battles were even more ruined.

They captured the three main fleets of the Community and turned a quick victory into a protracted war. Although Lightyear himself also suffered heavy losses, the question is where did so many of their starships, especially the capital ships, come from?

Although the Community and the Federation still have advantages, it is no longer possible to win quickly. Once a behemoth like the Dynasty is mobilized, the war potential is unimaginable. The number of capital ships currently under construction by the Dynasty alone exceeds that of the Federation and the Community combined. In this situation

During critical periods, every outstanding general is an indispensable asset, especially Hathaway. Not only can she achieve excellent results, but she also has a huge popularity base. As long as she appears on the front line, she will have a huge morale for the soldiers and the people.

of blessing.

At this time, Hathaway is going to take a vacation?

At this time, the secretary had completed the inquiry, walked into the office and whispered a few words to the old man. The old man looked stunned, and after a moment of silence he asked: "Who are you sure it is?"

"It's just a guess, but the probability is very high."

The old man rubbed his face, sighed, and said, "After the child is born, secretly collect a copy of the gene."

"yes."

"Oh, by the way, don't let her know."

"clear."

The old man looked at the star map for a while, then pressed a red button to connect to a special communication channel. After connecting, he didn't wait for the other person to speak, and said directly: "I need you."

Austin's business sounded across the channel: "No time."

"I not only need you, but also Crassus, and your personal army and fleet."

"That's impossible." Austin flatly refused.

"You know, the Federation can recruit. But this time, I don't plan to accommodate you anymore."

"You can take the fleet, but not the people. I need everyone here."

The old man was silent for a few minutes and then said: "If this is the case, then I regret to inform you that soon all your departments will be abolished and personnel will be reassigned to other departments. Private departments will be

Forced collection, employees become federal employees."

"What you do is against the law!"

"I will change the law and enable fast-track procedures, which will not take much time."

Austin's voice had some anger: "Why?"

"In order to win this war, I must gather the best people and all the resources I can mobilize. If this continues, we may lose this war."

"Without the Federation, humans will still be humans. But once the real dream confirms my suspicion, it will be a crisis for the entire human race!"

The old man sighed: "I can't think that far ahead. Without the Federation, what do humans need to do?"

Austin said slowly: "I have nothing to say, but I will do my best to stop you in Parliament."

"We don't only have one enemy in Real Dream, there's another one over the light years." The old man said suddenly.

This time Austin was silent, and then asked: "What do you know?"

"No, the powers you brought back from the real dream are nothing at all. I don't care about it. But in Light Years, I suspect that they have cracked the curse of artificial intelligence."

"Where's the evidence?"

"We found a strange biomass residue from the wreckage of the Lightyear Starship, but the ingredients are all degraded proteins, so nothing can be analyzed for the time being. Apart from this biomass, there are almost no humans in their starship."

"Didn't I say that Lightyear has been researching biochips before? The community is directly modifying human brains into chips. Could it be that Lightyear has obtained the technology of the community?"

"Those lunatics in the community will go to hell sooner or later!" Disgust flashed across the old man's face, and he said, "Don't you have a good relationship with Dr. Zero? You can ask him what's going on in Light Years."

"He won't tell me. He is a great-power chauvinist just like you."

The old man smiled and said, "This is unexpected good news."

"When do you plan to end the war?" Austin asked.

"The parliament has already made a resolution. The unconditional surrender of the dynasty will end the war."

"Even the law can be changed, and the resolution of the parliament is binding on you?" Austin mocked.

"This is not my decision, nor is it the decision of some members, this is the decision of the citizens. If I overturn this resolution today, the people can re-elect the parliament tomorrow and oust me, and the result will be the same."

Austin was silent, then said: "But now is the best time to end the war."
