Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 494 The Ultimate Order
Three days later, the federal authorities issued a "mandatory conscription order", and the Human Federation officially entered a state of all-out war.

It's just that it's not something to celebrate, and no one celebrates it.Just earlier in the day, the last fortress on the outskirts of the home system, the last stronghold on the outskirts of the home system, was breached by the enemy.None of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the [-] regiments guarding this space fortress survived, and all died heroically.With the fall of this fortress, the outer defenses of the home system were completely lost.

For the Human Federation, it has reached a critical moment of life and death.

It can be said that the human legion has nowhere to retreat.

One more step back, and the home galaxy will fall.

Although in the past thousands of years, the Human Federation has been strengthening the defense construction of the home galaxy, and has never stopped.By the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation had built three lines of defense for the home galaxy.However, the peace and prosperity that lasted for thousands of years made the Human Federation relax its vigilance, and made the defense deployment of the home galaxy a decoration.Among the three lines of defense, only the outer line of defense is barely considered solid, while the other two lines of defense are almost useless. Not only do they not have enough troops, but many defense facilities have not been completed as planned.In addition, these two lines of defense are inside the home galaxy, and even if they can be defended, they will suffer heavy losses.

Of course, whether it can be held is still a question.

The federal authorities suppressed the news of the loss of the outer defense line, or rather did not make it public.This is also understandably a huge blow to anyone.Not to mention civilians, even those soldiers who vowed to fight to the end, none of them had enough confidence.The key point is that almost all the main armies in the nine theaters are placed on the outer defense line, and the remaining reserves are mainly new armies.Although there are still two lines of defense, relying on those new legions with no actual combat experience or even basic training, they can't stop the powerful enemy at all.What's more, the other two lines of defense are even more fragile, and many defense facilities that should have been completed long ago are still on the blueprints.

Without enough legions, without strong defense facilities, how to resist the army of silicon charms?
Besides, the federal authorities just haven't made it public, while the grapevine has long since spread the word.

On that day alone, thousands of private ships fled the home system.Of course, it was the rich who fled, and those who had no confidence.

However, the fate of these people is very tragic.

Under the blockade of the Silicon Ghost fleet, not a single spaceship left the home galaxy, all were intercepted, and all were destroyed without exception.

Panic also spread rapidly.

Although later in the day, the federal authorities initiated emergency measures, dispatched military and police to maintain order, and officially began to implement the mandatory conscription order, that is, all adults must serve in the army, and report to the nearest conscription point as quickly as possible, obey Arrangements between federal authorities and the military.However, the effect of such coercive measures is not ideal. Even if a large number of soldiers are recruited, it is difficult to arm these soldiers in a short period of time.

It can be said that as long as the Silicon Demon army continues to advance, the Human Federation will have to fight the enemy on the main planets such as Federation Star and Yanhuang Star.At that time, even if the invading powerful enemy can be defeated, the losses suffered may also seriously damage the Human Federation.

You know, even at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War more than 1000 years ago, the home planets of the Human Federation were not invaded.The last time it was invaded was about 4000 years ago, during the Second Greenwich War, and the Human Federation almost perished as a result.

What should I do next, how can I stop the enemy's advance?
Not to mention the common people, even Zhan Ruilin and other nine theater commanders were at a loss at this time, and no one could come up with effective measures to deal with the enemy.

Facing the menacing silicon demon army and the already shaken morale, all the military can do is to issue a comprehensive anti-war order.

This is the second time in the history of the Human Federation that the military has issued a "comprehensive anti-war order", and the last time was during the Second Greenwich War more than 4000 years ago.At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, because Xiao Wentian stepped forward, the military did not issue this "ultimate order".

The release of the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order" means that the Human Federation has reached the most critical juncture, and it also means that the military has delegated the military power that was originally monopolized to everyone.To put it simply, after the military department issued the "Comprehensive Anti-War Order", all individuals and groups in the Human Federation will fulfill their obligations to resist the invasion, and at the same time gain the power to form military forces to resist the invasion, which is often called "the whole people All soldiers".

However, this may not be a good thing.

More than 4000 years ago, during the Second Greenwich War, the military department issued the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order" for the first time.Although the silicon demon army was finally defeated and the lost ground was regained, the resulting chaos lasted for hundreds of years until the third Greenwich War.The point is that after mobilizing everyone to resist the invasion and defeating a powerful enemy, it is not so easy for the armed personnel to put down their weapons.At that time, the large-scale turmoil caused by it could be quelled. First, the third Greenwich War broke out, and external threats were more serious than internal conflicts. The federal authorities, which have entered a state of war, can only obediently hand over the armed forces in their hands.Of course, what is more important is the will of the people, that is, the vast majority of the people support the federal authorities to take back the military power.

Obviously, things are completely different this time.

Among other things, the Sixth Greenwich War has just broken out, and it will obviously continue for a while, at least decades, maybe hundreds of years.Issue the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order" now, and when the war ends, the civilian armed forces that emerged during the war will definitely grow stronger.By that time, how can the federal authorities disarm civilians without bloodshed?

You must know that the last time the Federal Military Department issued the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order" was also near the end of the Second Greenwich War.Because the war ended soon, many civilian armed forces established during the war did not grow stronger, so the federal situation did not completely lose control. At least those civilian armed organizations that appeared during the war could not fight against the federal authorities, and the situation of the human federation was unified. It has been maintained, and when the third Greenwich War broke out, the federal authorities still had a high authority in the hearts of the people, and they were able to take over and integrate the civilian armed forces in the name of guiding the War of Resistance, thus ending several Hundred years of war.

Of course, not everyone supports the issuance of the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order" at this time, among them Zhan Ruilin.

In the military vote, Zhan Ruilin and the two theater commanders voted against it, while the other six theater commanders all voted in favor.

Zhan Ruilin knew very well that the commanders of the six theaters were fanning the flames, to be precise, they were using this to attack the third theater.

The reason is simple, the war has only erupted for a few months, and all the militant organizations that have naturally emerged are in the colonial galaxy, and the scale is not very large.Up to now, the only one who has gone out to stand on the top of the mountain and still has a climate is Yang Yi from the third war zone.Although Yang Yi is still an officer in the third war zone in name, under the control of Zhan Ruilin, but he brought civilian armed forces to Fengxing to stand on his own.More importantly, the home galaxy was under siege, and almost all the star systems under the human federation were occupied. Zhan Ruilin couldn't order Yang Yi at all.Even if Zhan Ruilin could issue orders, Yang Yi might not obey, at least he would not blindly obey Zhan Ruilin's orders.

But, there is a problem here.

This is the civil armed force commanded by Yang Yi and the legitimacy of going to the beacon fire to fight.

To put it bluntly, if the civilian armed forces of Commander Yang Yi are illegal and have no legal identity, and the combat operations on Fengxing Mars are not ordered, and also have no legitimacy, then no matter how much he wins on Fengxing Mars, he will not will be recognized.It can even be said that the federal authorities and the military can punish Yang Yi in the name of "disobeying orders" and "acting without authorization" at any time.

Of course, if authorized, then Yang Yi's actions on Fengxing would be legal.

At this time, the military department issued the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order", which was actually to provide support for Yang Yi's actions on the beacon fire, and to be precise, to make Yang Yi's actions legal.In this way, even if Yang Yi is no longer Zhan Ruilin's subordinate one day in the future, Zhan Ruilin can't deal with Yang Yi in the name of "disobeying orders" or "acting without authorization", that is, he cannot use legal and reasonable methods to deal with Yang Yi. Hit Yang Yi.

From Zhan Ruilin's point of view, the theater commanders who voted in favor were supporting Yang Yi in this way, and hoped that through Yang Yi, the third theater would be dismantled.Because after Yang Yi develops and grows, if he is still an officer in the third theater, then the third theater will benefit.If Yang Yi breaks away from the third theater and becomes an independent military force, then the third theater will suffer the most.

However, Zhan Ruilin also thinks that these guys are too short-sighted.

You must know that the current civilian armed forces are not just the one led by Yang Yi.There are people resisting in almost all colonized galaxies, which can be regarded as civilian armed forces.After the military issued the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order", it was equivalent to granting legal status to these civilian armed forces.

It's easy to let a tiger go back, but it's not easy to catch it back.

But, nothing is done.Even if Zhan Ruilin joined forces with the two theater commanders to vote against it, it would not be able to change the decision made by the military.

Of course, Zhan Ruilin is also very clear that this "ultimate order" is actually a double-edged sword.

Those people with ulterior motives want to attack the third war zone in this way, but in Zhan Ruilin's view, this is actually a rare opportunity.As long as this opportunity is seized, not only will the third war zone not be weakened, but it will become stronger, and it may even integrate the military.
