Him and their stars

As long as you look at the name Charon Base, you will know that it is the outermost military base in the solar system. However, this is actually a legacy left over from the imperial period, and it also underwent systematic expansion and reconstruction during the community era.

During the war, forts, dry docks and flying platforms for gunboats in the system were added. The navy room at the base is also filled with garrison troops armed with live ammunition.

However, this was all meaningless in front of the powerful Imperial fleet.

Speaking of which, although Lieutenant General Wolfna Maimeda has a petite and dainty look that looks like a legal lolita, she is indeed the most swift and wind-like person among Brunhildt's servants. This kind of forward job also suits him very well.

"I have heard that Viscount Maimeda is a noble female knight..."

Yu Lian nodded in agreement: "She is indeed a very upright lady."

In terms of pure character, Wolfna Maimeda is even stronger than Brynn. Together with Gilly, she can be called the moral double wall of King Su's shogunate. In addition, while being upright, she does not lack decisive will and flexible skills. She is the kind who can enter and exit generals.

However, he didn't understand why Feifei paid so much attention to the other party's character.

Feifei said: "If it were her, even if she captured the strongholds on the outer reaches of the earth, she would still be able to do nothing wrong."

Obviously, Feifei really doesn't have much hope in the earth's ability to resist.

She wasn't wrong at all.

So, when Yu Lian and Feifei returned to the bridge, the latest news was "Charon Base has fallen."

"I only lasted 10 minutes." Feifei sighed.

Annie's expression was a little strange, and she glanced at Yu Lian sympathetically.

To be honest, it was obviously a normal statement, but when this guy said it, it suddenly seemed particularly distorted.

Of course, the so-called ten minutes actually started when the cruise ship received the news. In fact, the Charon base, which can station 300,000 people, still persisted for an hour in front of the Gale of Wind Wolfna.

In addition, the Imperial fleet responsible for attacking the Charon base only invested a total of less than two divisions of stormtroopers, which was one-tenth of the defenders, but there is no need to worry too much about this detail.

Captain Nemo immediately reported to Yu Lian: Although Charon has fallen, all military bases and space cities from the asteroid to Jupiter and finally to the earth are ready for defense. All the base commanders said that every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood must be dealt with by the invaders.

Considering Charon's performance, this argument is really unconvincing.

"Did the Earth give any instructions?" Yu Lian asked.

The captain shook his head slightly, his face full of distress.

Anne said: "Not only the Presidential Palace, but also the National Defense Commission and the Military Command Headquarters have no instructions of their own. We are trying to call Earth, but the call has not been connected yet."

Feifei said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Then we will implement it in accordance with the Military Emergency Act."

The so-called "Emergency Military State Act" refers to a state of war. If the person in charge of a relatively independent military unit cannot accept orders from his superiors, especially from the earth, he can decide the next step on his own.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is in the hope that someone can resist to the end, but most people will definitely choose to surrender, right?

This decree was proposed by Marshal Jean Cook during the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it has always remained at the level of "decree". It is probably just an informal official document with no rules.

However, once the earth falls, this will be the only "legitimacy endorsement" for all the remaining resistance forces in the community.

The captain looked at Yu Lian, waiting for the other party's order.

The only person in charge of this small space on the Pilgrimage is not him, but Yu Lian. Then, whether he makes a decision or suffers the backlash of the decision, he can only bear it himself.

"Just do this. From now on, we will no longer receive instructions from the earth." Yu Liandao.

As soon as he gave the order, a message was sent from the communication team on the lower level of the bridge: "Commander, Captain, we are connected to the earth. Senator Pegger, acting chairman of the National Defense Committee, is online."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Anne, who had just ordered a call to Earth, had buried her head on the table and put up her name tag to cover her face. However, Yu Lian just continued without changing his expression: "I just hope that New China, the Outer Rim Fleet, the Yang Fleet, and all units that are still capable of fighting will make the right choice."

Feifei added at the right time: "The earth can fall, but the community has not surrendered, and neither have the people on earth."

"clear!"

The Preview never answered communications from Earth. The other party called for a full twenty minutes before finally giving up and just giving up on himself and sending an email.

This time, the email was accepted very smoothly. It seems that the whole ship has finally evolved from the era of telephone dial-up and Internet access. Although it has not yet reached the serious 4G era, the ADSL era is still acceptable.

After everyone returned to work, Yu Lian opened the video email.

He had prepared himself for the acting chairman Mr. Pegle to start with some vulgar language, but he never expected that although the other party also looked pale with dark circles under his eyes, as if his body was completely hollowed out, and his spirit was inevitably a little sluggish, he did not swear on the spot.

He did not even show any dissatisfaction, at most he was a little complaining.

"You are the one who called and you are the one who didn't answer the phone, General Yu. Why are you playing tricks on me? I didn't commit any crime against you, did I? I presided over your promotion ceremonies to colonel and brigadier general, didn't I? I personally awarded your first Blue Star Medal of Freedom, didn't I? Even if we are not friends, at least we are not enemies, right?"

"I know that a great hero like you looks down on an ugly and mediocre politician like me, but I haven't offended you after all, have I?"

In short, he first talked about his history and achievements, then his face was full of resentment and even a little resentment, but he didn't dare to say a word of harsh words, like a woman who was abandoned because she couldn't get the love she wanted.

For a moment, Yu Lian really felt quite sympathetic towards the acting chairman.

To be honest, Mr. Pegle is indeed a vulgar politician as he said, who can't do any serious work, but he is not a bad person. Even in the most vulgar profession of politicians, they are all the most mediocre. Although Yu Lian despised such people, he did not have any direct hatred. The two of them at least maintained a superficial friendship. During the holidays, Liuli sent a New Year gift, but Mr. Pegle could not be left out.

I read the correct version on the 16-9 book forum!

If it were not for this war, such a superficial friendship could be maintained until Mr. Pegle retired. Even if something unspeakable happened in the future, he would definitely be the one invited.

At this time, looking carefully, Mr. Pegle was really thinner than the last time we met, and his hair was a lot grayer. He really looked a little overworked.

"Chairman Maxell has been hospitalized, and Marshal Paris is not on Earth now. In the end, I became the highest military and political chief left behind. I am just a vulgar politician. It is the blessing of my ancestors that I can become a senator. Why do I have to become the chairman of the National Defense Committee? I don’t have that ability, you know?"

Indeed, if it were not for his personal relationship with Chairman Nishita, this guy would certainly not be able to climb to this position.

In short, in the five-minute video, Chairman Pegle muttered in front of Yu Lian for four minutes, all of which were resentful words without much information.

He said: "I, I am really a vulgar politician, not a tough guy or a hero, an imperial ghost... I can't hold it back even if the imperial master comes, maybe I can only surrender. Brother Yu, General Yu, Commander Yu, you have to understand me! You must show mercy in the future."

Come on, this person said so much, it turns out that he came to beg for mercy. Well, as long as he doesn't serve the invaders like he served President Nishita back then, if he just announces the surrender of the earth, he can still be treated leniently in the future.

However, then again, this video was sent by the acting chairman, so where is President Nishita?

At this time, it was the end of the video, and the chairman sighed: "But the president can't be contacted either, what can I do? Now even the New Independence has run away, what can I do? I am also desperate!"

The New Independence is of course the original Natural Emblem, which should be undergoing comprehensive repairs and reconstruction at the Mars Shipyard.

This is also the only information with nutritional value in the last video.

Of course, it is also the only good news.

After all, there is Rozes at the Mars Shipyard, so it is impossible for the only Titan ship of the Community to stay on Earth and die.

However, when and where did it run away, more information needs to be collected.

Of course, Yu Lian can still guess the route of the escape. Considering that New Baghdad has been occupied by the Imperial Army and the army is approaching the Earth, the only thing the New Independence can do is to turn to New Chang'an and move towards the Cantilever Star Region.

If you are lucky, you may be able to meet with the Tour at the Cantilever. At that time, it is not impossible for the two ships to try to break through and enter the New Shenzhou together.

...Of course, the above are all the most optimistic imaginations.

Yu Lian knew that the real world would not be so smooth. However, he did not expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly. Just when he opened the terminal and prepared to contact various domestic departments to collect new intelligence, the captain immediately reported:

"Sir, the No. 3 gravity well of this galaxy at the three o'clock direction has a jump reaction."

Yu Lian frowned slightly and stood up immediately.

Since it is at the three o'clock direction, it can certainly be the direction of the Empire's extreme frontier star field. Yu Lian can even see a star in the Empire's homeland with his physical (spiritual) eyes (perception).

Definitely not a pirate, let alone a smuggler! Yu Lian made such a judgment.

"Get ready for battle now!" he shouted loudly.
