Chapter 728 Please provide protection for the free people
The so-called worst-case scenario, even if the Chairman did not mention it, no one would understand it. It is nothing more than the possibility of losing the colonies in the New World.
However, the people present were all old politicians. Although they did not have much sense of responsibility for the safety of the military and civilians in the New World, they were very concerned about the gold, spices and various specialty minerals imported from the planet New Yumen every year. More importantly,
, if the colonies are really wiped out by plunderers or other things, this government will really be unstable.
Thinking of this, President Maria Manson suddenly became anxious. Although she won because of the resignation of former President Mr. Noxham, she still had some thoughts about being re-elected. But now she is no longer even.
If he is not re-elected, the question is whether he can survive the last year.
"Case, what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, Madam President. As I say, as long as you hold on firmly, there will be a way!"
Seeing that everyone looked worried, Nishita added: "I will convene an emergency meeting of the National Defense Committee as soon as possible. Our military now has many elite soldiers and generals, and they will definitely come up with a feasible plan. The next emergency cabinet meeting
meeting, please approve Marshal Paris and members of the staff to attend as military representatives."
"Then I'll leave it to you." The MILF President took a scented handkerchief and wiped the tears that had come out of nowhere, and looked at the other party quietly: "We are in the same boat now.
"
Then I want to get off the ship.
Although the Chairman wanted to say this very much, he knew that once you get on the boat of the political world, you will never get off.
It's like digging a hole for the president and other colleagues to do stupid things, but openly expressing his opposition to it, waiting for others to finish their work, and then running out to clean up the mess while naturally gaining power. This method will definitely not work.
If the current government collapses due to scandals or major policy failures, it will also declare the end of its political life.
So, after finishing the emergency cabinet meeting, he ignored the emergency cabinet meeting he had held all night, just had a few bites of breakfast in the car, and hurried to the National Defense Commission Building.
When he entered his office, Marshal Norm Paris, the head of the Blue Star Community's military and head of the Military Command Headquarters, was already waiting for him there.
This old man, who is over ninety years old, is wearing the uniform of a community marshal. The uniform is so meticulous that not even a single wrinkle can be found. His figure is still tall and tall. At first glance, he looks like a standing marble statue.
Looking at the old man, Mr. Chairman suddenly felt that he was confident again. He hurried up and held the other man's hands, and said with a sad face: "Marshal, what should we do!"
With the character of Marshal Paris, he actually doesn't like to see such a crying and useless look, but considering that Mr. Chairman is not an active soldier after all, it's hard to say anything. Besides, the Chairman's behavior does not also show that
Do you have absolute trust in yourself?
Thinking of this, Marshal Paris comforted him with an unprecedented kind tone: "Chairman, please rest assured. I have already informed that all officers and soldiers will stop taking vacations. The outer ring fleet is ready to set off. As long as we set off now, the two
It can arrive at Xinyumen within a few weeks. In addition, the local fleet is now assembled and can arrive within a month as follow-up reinforcements."
"The soldiers are really reliable! I want to apply for medals for Commander Bonaparte and the generals of the Outer Rim Fleet!" The Chairman nodded in praise, but then showed a wry smile: "However, with the "New Continental Arms Limitation Treaty",
Once our large fleet passes through Nantianmen..."
"It's already this time? Will the Empire and the Alliance still fail to fulfill their contract?"
"But the community is not the alliance and the empire after all." The chairman showed a helpless look: "From the standpoint of the community, any behavior outside the standards may become a handle for the empire. We must not be the first to breach the contract.
Country. At most, I can only fight for it. As long as we can find the empire and alliance's large fleet crossing the star gate, we can take action."
Marshal Paris sighed heavily and added: "Then, we must let the New World organize its own defense. At the same time, even if we cannot mobilize the fleet, we must transport enough food, arms, ammunition and a large number of marines
.”
Seeing the puzzled expression on the other side, the marshal said: "The plunderers will not carry out orbital bombing. What they want is to plunder wealth, food and population. If they come, the surface of every colonial planet in the New World will be the focus of the battle.
.Of course, if it was the empire that came, we didn’t declare war after all, so they wouldn’t let themselves be so infamous.”
The key is, what if the empire is really willing to suffer diplomatic infamy but must also capture the colonies of the community?
Although this possibility is very small, it is by no means non-existent. However, whether it was the emergency cabinet meeting just now or now, everyone has deliberately ignored this issue.
The chairman nodded to indicate that he had remembered: "Please give me a list of units that can take action immediately as soon as possible."
"It's ready." The old marshal took a document from the adjutant's hand.
"Marshal, I really don't know what I would have done without you." The Chairman said gratefully. Just when he had just opened the list, he heard Marshal Paris say again:
"In addition, Your Excellency, we also need a reliable person to unified command the garrison, fortress, patrol fleet, Thirteenth Fleet and subsequent reinforcements arriving in all colonies in the New World. When necessary, he must even be given certain political leadership
power and personnel power. Only in this way can effective defense command be established."
The Chairman used the document to block the trace of hesitation that flashed in his eyes, and said calmly: "Does this ensure that the colony can insist on the arrival of our rescue?"
"No. Since we can't pre-emptively strike, we can't even take active defense. It just depends on the predators...and, well, how much attention they will pay to us. An excellent frontline military and political officer
Sir, we can at least hold on a little longer and try to minimize our losses."
Having said this, the steel-like marshal also sighed helplessly: "This operation of the Predators is indeed a stroke of genius. They even deceived the entire galaxy. But now that things have happened, even if they help, they can't help.
We can only cope with it with all our strength. In addition, we must be mentally prepared for the worst."
Why does this sound familiar? Keith Nicita thought.
In fact, there may be a little bit of suspicion on the earth of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. You know, less than the first week after the huge predator fleet entered the Gate of Glory, far away
The Imperial fleet, which was even larger than the Predators, also gathered in the galaxy where the Star Gate was located.
At this time, the New Year of the common calendar year 833 has not yet arrived.
However, even though a fleet of this size had been gathered, they did not immediately rush into the star gate.
It can only be said that the Galactic Empire is also a responsible big country, and the background of this big country is much deeper than that of the Community. Of course, it will not casually violate the international conventions that have been signed.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the colonial governor's office has already sent news: the main fleet of predators seems to have a very clear marching route, and it is marching non-stop towards the unknown and uninhabited sky. It only looted four or five spaces on the way.
station, but did not take a detour to attack the inhabited planet.
So far, the damage sustained by the colony has been controllable.
It sounds like the situation is pretty good. But when I think about it more carefully, it seems to be extremely scary.
The plunderers who have never been to the "New World" actually have a clear route of march? In all likelihood, they actually have star map information in their hands that no major country has.
Because of this, the empire feels the need to be cautious. The Privy Council has sent a small outpost fleet that does not exceed the "Arms Treaty" to rush to the colonies to support. This is of course not to pursue the enemy, but to mobilize for the Governor's Palace.
The colonial fleet will join forces to ensure surveillance of the main force of raiders.
As for the mainland, the bosses of the Imperial Privy Council, who had been slapped twice in the face by the plunderers, all gritted their teeth and passed a plan with unprecedented efficiency. They did not even notify the Royal Council and issued a gathering order to the army.
Prepare to assemble a force more than four times the size of the raiders as the main force for the crusade.
When the diplomatic matters are settled, they will crush them all the way with the power of a lion fighting a rabbit, completely annihilating the predators in the nebula of another universe. Of course, if the predators really find something along the way,
Whether it is a new sea route, a new livable planet, precious resources, or some secret treasure of an enlightened person, you can accept it as a matter of course.
However, before that happens, the Imperial soldiers who are gearing up to cut all the looters into pieces must be patient.
The soldiers of the Empire endured it very hard, and the generals of the Empire had an even harder time.
You must know that the empire implements a military merit system. At least for humans and citizens and above, it is definitely a joy to hear the battle. For the empire generals, leading these killer embryos to kill people is not a chore.
Just appease them.
Over the past week, small-scale fights between different teams and departments have occurred thousands of times throughout the galaxy and even the entire sector. Fortunately, the imperial soldiers fought, but for the
The military laws and regulations are still very familiar. No weapons were used, no lives were lost, and the situation was always under control.
In addition, there is good news. The most significant good news is that the unrest in Green Ocean Star has finally subsided.
More than 3,400 people who participated in the riots and rebellion were shot to death, and tens of thousands were arrested. More than half of them were the Legg giants who started the army in the first place.
This news has spread to the gathering place of the Legg giants in Zurg. All this may lead to new hatred, but all this is a story for later. In any case, this rebellion was indeed suppressed.
In addition, the "pest" that caused far greater panic and losses than the riots has also been eliminated.
However, the sight of hordes of indescribable alien monsters emerging from the ground, dense forests, and waves, attacking armies and cities, has indeed left local citizens with nightmares that will last a lifetime.
By this time, insect pests are no longer news in the universe.
However, many people will not remember that the first insect infestation was not within the empire, but an Earth colony called New Yumen.
In short, everyone feels that the raiders not only dug up a new star map, but also dug up some kind of anti-civilization biological weapon! They are not only a large group of nomadic pirates now, but also anti-civilization rebels who kill a thousand swords.
A terrorist group of carbon-based creatures! These filthy, bloodthirsty criminals should all be thrown into the incinerator to generate electricity. This is the only contribution they can make to the people of the universe.
If at this time, another predator warship appears within the sight of the imperial soldiers, what they will face is terrible just thinking about it.
No, when the Scarlet Throne, which had just filled the bullet holes, jumped from the side of the Abyss Nebula into the Gate of Glory star area, every one of the dozens of Imperial warships in the surrounding star systems looked like
It swarmed over like a shark that smelled blood.
More than a week ago, the main fleet of the Predators entered the Gate of Glory from this galaxy, and now you are still here? Are you really treating it as a public toilet in our empire? You can come and leave as you please?
Although the scarlet Predator battleship has had its bullet holes patched up, some of the damage cannot be repaired by just waving a hammer. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it just came off the battlefield; anyone with a discerning eye can also tell that it has just come off the battlefield.
The situation is very bad. Even if he can run, he will definitely not be able to fight.
As a result, the imperial warships gathered here included many small and medium-sized warships, including light cruisers and destroyers, and even many assault ships. What do these little guys want to do? Are they ready to join the gang?
Then, just as these Imperial warships transformed into Avengers were about to draw their swords and shoulder to shoulder, they received a wide-area communication request from the predators on the opposite side.
"I am the Assistant Attaché of the Embassy of the Blue Star Community in the Empire, Captain Yu Lian of the Navy, and I am currently serving as an observer for the Morning Angel Military Observation Group. Out of the principles of humanity and the common prosperity of civilizations, I accepted some secrets from His Royal Highness King Suliuka
Order, due to chance, we seized this dreadnought ship that originally belonged to the predator. Now, this dreadnought ship is already under the control of your country's friendly forces."
The imperial soldiers were immediately stunned. Of course, many people thought this must be a conspiracy by the predators, but Yu Lian's head soon appeared on the projection on the ship.
It's only been half a year since the God of War Festival, and the popularity of the God's Chosen Champion has not subsided, and his face is still very famous.
"Now, I have accepted the secret mission from His Highness King Suliuka, and we are heading towards the Gate of Glory! Please stay calm!" Yu Lian said again.
Most Imperial soldiers were at a loss and could only continue to follow and monitor.
Of course, there are a few smart and alert people who slapped the table and loudly said: "Secret mission? Think of us as sticks! How could he, an earthling, accept the secret order of His Royal Highness King Suliuka? This is not a conspiracy of the plunderers.
It must be a conspiracy of the people on Earth!"
"But, he has some relationship with His Royal Highness King Su! At the God of War Festival, he was always present as His Highness's dragon boat."
"...Then, that's just diplomatic etiquette! Anyway, in short, there must be something wrong with this earthling!"
"I didn't say there was nothing wrong with him. But, what should we do now? Should we open fire now?"
You must not open fire. Ordinary captains and squadron commanders would not dare to shoulder this responsibility. However, the Imperial Army that dominates half of the galaxy cannot be all rigid-minded idiots who do not know how to adapt.
"Prepare to attack the landing craft and assault ships. Order him to temporarily stop the ship for inspection! If you don't agree, let the stormtroopers land and force the stop! Oh, let everyone bring shock equipment, don't hurt each other!"
"clear!"
However, just as the stormtroopers were preparing to land, Yu Lian sent a new message: "The current situation of this ship is very delicate. It can barely maintain normal navigation and cannot participate in any battles. Any external impact, including
And not limited to beam penetration, high temperature dissolution, kinetic energy strikes, explosions and jump collisions, all of which may cause irreversible structural damage to the ship! In addition, at this time, there are more than 500 civilians in the ship, all of whom were plundered.
The freedom warriors who escaped from the hands of the enemy, including 189 imperial nationals, 17 citizens and 1 noble, are currently under the protection of this ship! For humanitarian reasons, please provide us with the necessary navigation and maintenance.
"
"I repeat, this ship is attacking more than 500 freedom warriors who have escaped from the plunderers! However, any military impact will cause unpredictable damage to this ship and will also cause civilian casualties.
However, I believe that the Empire is a responsible big country and will definitely protect the safety of this ship. Please rest assured that after our ship arrives at the Gate of Glory, it will respect the wishes of the crew and will disembark civilians who are willing to disembark.
