Chapter 256 General decision
The super turret on the moon base is the last force to resist. When all orbital turrets are destroyed, the last super electromagnetic gun at the moon base is still being launched. Unfortunately, without the cooperation of other turrets, the electromagnetic gun carrying huge kinetic energy can only pose a certain threat to the protection of the Gaia spacecraft and cannot form an effective blow.
"Sir!"
The command center, due to the paralysis of the main system, the Earth's space fleet could no longer organize effective attacks, and they fought on their own since the beginning of the battle. When the command center clearly saw the flames after balls of fire rising over the Earth's near-earth orbit in space, everyone was extremely heavy.
One after another, bad news came, and when a super turret at the Moon Base was destroyed by the fleet of the Gaia civilization, and another super turret was still insisting on counterattacking in the opponent's attack, everyone from General Mike Carson knew that the resistance of the Earthlings had failed.
The adjutant's voice brought General Mike Carson back to reality from his trance. In just less than ten minutes, the old general seemed to have grown a lot aged suddenly, looking like an old man, and no longer the general who inspired morale, was full of fighting spirit and battles on the battlefield just now.
He looked up at the adjutant, and the adjutant said to him: "The commanders of each squadron have sent a message to demand an attack."
"Strike?" General Mike Carson shook his head with a wry smile. The Earth Space Fleet still has ○∑Chang○∑Feng∑Wen○∑Study, w≦○+t part of the military strength, which is the essence of the fleet he deliberately retained. At first, General Mike Carson planned to use them as a surprise soldier, but who thought that the paralysis of the command system caused the battle to fall to the other side. In just ten minutes of battle, all the orbital turrets he relied on were destroyed, and even the super turrets on the moon base could not stop the attack of the Gaians. At this time, what's the use of sending this force out? The result is almost equivalent to hitting stones with eggs. Instead of doing this, it's better to let them leave the battlefield as soon as possible and retain some strength for the Earth Space Fleet and mankind.
"Tell me my order!" General Mike Carson gave a slight reminder: "Let General Ivan command all the remaining ships to escape from the battlefield on earth immediately!"
"Sir!" The adjutant was stunned. Although he knew that the remaining fleet could not change the current outcome at this time, the question was what if those ships left the battlefield of the earth? The earth is the home of the people on earth. Where can humans go after leaving the earth? It is very simple to convey this order, but the question is General Ivan, including the commanders of the remaining ships, will they agree to do so?
"Let them go to Pluto,"
"Pluto?" the adjutant asked in confusion.
General Mike Carson smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, Pluto. Pass this command directly to General Ivan. He will understand what to do. As for what will happen after arriving at Pluto, I think they will understand it when they are."
"Sir, are you saying..." As the adjutant of General Mike Carson, he knew some situations and had heard about the Pluto alien civilization base, but he was limited to the situation. However, he was definitely a smart person to be the adjutant of General Mike Carson. Although the general only vaguely suggested, the adjutant instantly thought of a possibility and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Go, if it's too late, it's too late." General Mike Carson ordered lowly, and the adjutant responded and hurriedly conveyed the order.
The order was soon conveyed to the fleet waiting in space on the other side of the earth through a laser communication device that could still be used. When Ivan received the order, he was also silent for a moment. He quickly took over the command of the fleet according to the order. The remaining battleships of the Earth Space Fleet began to quickly leave the battlefield with the cover of the Earth and the Moon Base that continued to fight. Ten minutes later, when the remaining fleet accelerated to the highest speed and left the depths of space, the last super-battery of the Moon Base finally turned into a dazzling flame under the attack of the Gaia civilization.
"It's over!" Although the ending was expected, when the last super turret was destroyed, everyone at the Moon Base was extremely sad. They knew that the Earth's space fleet had been completely destroyed, as the external resistance force of the Earth's civilization. They were already finished.
"Tell me my order!" At this time, General Mike Carson stood up, picked up the military cap that was placed aside and put it on, then tidied up his military uniform. When everyone turned their eyes to him, the veteran general said in a difficult tone: "I order... to send a surrender signal to the other party..."
"Surrender! General!"
"Sir, do you say we surrender?"
Some young officers looked at the general whom they beloved with incredible eyes. They never thought that the word "surrender" would be spoken out of his mouth.
"The Earth Space Fleet no longer has the power to fight back. Children, your life is precious, and living is hope. Surrender, children, each of you is a warrior. Warriors who fight to the last moment, surrender is not a humiliation for the warriors, let alone this is just our surrender. Maybe one day in the future..." Speaking of this, General Mike Carson sighed, and the surroundings were quiet.
"The general is right. Everyone has tried their best. It is not a humiliation for the surrender of the warriors." A major general in the General Staff said: "Continuing the battle can only be a waste of sacrifice, not to mention that we no longer have the power to fight. Everyone should be clear that our mission has been completed, and everyone should continue to live bravely. Our surrender does not mean the end of the war. Don't forget that we still have the army on earth. The invasion of the Gaians will definitely not succeed!"
These words kept everyone silent, but their expressions gradually calmed down from the initial anger, confusion, and confusion. Everyone knew General Mike Carson's good intentions, but many people were still unable to convince themselves when facing surrender.
"That's it, Jack, you take over next. I'm tired and I want to take a break." General Mike Carson said to the major general, then refused to help from others, and left the command center with difficult steps under everyone's eyes.
The moon base is a large base. After General Mike Carson walked out of the command center, two soldiers guarding at the door saluted him. The old general replied, then walked out of the corridor. Then the elevator door in front opened, and his lonely back entered the elevator. As the elevator door slowly closed, his figure disappeared in the soldiers' eyes.
A few minutes later, General Mike Carson came to his office, sat down at the desk, reached out to pick up the photo on the table, the photo was taken by his whole family, his wife whom he loved for life, his two sons, and several grandchildren... In the photo, the family was smiling so happily, with the background of a brilliant sky and a green forest, which was taken before he served as the chief of staff of the Earth Space Fleet. Such peaceful and peaceful days may pass forever. Thinking of the old general sighed, put the photo down and opened the drawer, and a delicate pistol was exposed in the drawer.
Picking up the gun and turning the gun inverted it, General Mike Carson stuffed the gun into his mouth without hesitation, and then pulled the trigger tightly... (To be continued...)
ps: Happy weekend everyone!
