Him and their stars

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 looters or other things, this government will really be unsound.

Thinking of this, President Maria Manson suddenly became anxious. Although she won because of the resignation of former President Mr. Noxham, she still has some thoughts about re-election. But now it is no longer a question of whether he will be re-elected, but whether he can survive the last year.

"Case, what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry, Madam President. Again, 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 faintly: "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 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 this government collapses due to scandal or major policy failure, it will also declare the end of its political life.

So, after the emergency cabinet meeting ended, he ignored the emergency cabinet meeting he 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 first person in the military of the Blue Star Community and the 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 mournful face: "Marshal, what should we do!"

With the character of Marshal Paris, he actually dislikes seeing such a crying and useless person, but considering that Mr. Generalissimo is not an active soldier after all, it is hard to say anything. Besides, by your performance like this, doesn’t it also show your absolute trust in yourself?

Thinking of this, Marshal Paris comforted him in an unprecedentedly 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 so 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? Could it be that 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, the most I can do is fight for it. As long as we can find the empire and the 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 is the empire that comes, we have not declared war after all, so they will not let themselves be so infamous."

The key point is, what if the empire really wants to take over the colonies of the community rather than suffer diplomatic infamy?

Although this possibility is small, it is by no means non-existent. However, whether it was the emergency cabinet meeting just now or now, everyone 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 do without you." The Chairman said gratefully. Just when he 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 steely marshal also sighed helplessly: "This operation of the Predators is indeed a stroke of genius. They even deceived the entire galaxy. But since things have already 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 Nichta thought.

In fact, on the earth side, there may be a little bit of suspicion of treating a gentleman with a villain's heart. You know, less than the first week after the huge Predator fleet entered the Glory Gate, the Imperial fleet, which was far larger than the Predator, also gathered in the galaxy where the Star Gate is 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 so much deeper than that of the Community. Of course, it will not casually break the international conventions that have been signed.

Of course, this is also because the colonial governor's office has sent news: the main fleet of the predators seems to have a very clear marching route, and it is moving non-stop towards the unknown and uninhabited sky. They only looted four or five space stations on the way, but did not take a detour to attack the inhabited planet.

So far, the damage sustained by the colony has been manageable.

It sounds like the situation is pretty good. Just thinking about it again, it seems to be extremely scary.

Marauders who have never been to the "New World" actually have a clear route of march? Nine times out of ten, they really have star map information in their hands that no major country has.

Because of this, the empire felt the need to be cautious. The Privy Council has dispatched a small outpost fleet that does not exceed the Arms Treaty to rush to the colonies for support. This is of course not to pursue the enemy, but to rendezvous with the colonial fleet mobilized by the Governor's Palace to ensure surveillance of the main force of the predators.

As for the mainland, the big 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. Without even notifying the Royal Council, they issued a rally order to the army, preparing to assemble a force more than four times the size of the marauders 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 plunderers really find something along the way, whether it's a new shipping route, a new livable planet, precious resources, or some enlightened person's secret treasure, they can just accept it as a matter of course.

However, before that, the Imperial soldiers who were gearing up to cut all the looters into pieces must be patient.

The Imperial soldiers had a hard time holding back, and the Imperial generals had an even harder time.

You must know that the empire implements a military meritocracy system, which at least for humans and citizens and above is definitely considered a joy to hear the war. For the imperial generals, leading these killer embryos to kill people is not a chore, but appeasing them is.

Over the past week, small-scale battles between different teams and departments have occurred thousands of times throughout this galaxy and even the entire sector. Fortunately, the imperial soldiers were fighting, but they were still very familiar with military laws and regulations. No weapons were used, no lives were lost, and the situation was always under control.

In addition, there is good news. The most significant benefit is that the unrest on Green Ocean Star has finally subsided.

More than 3,400 people participating in riots and rebellions were killed and tens of thousands were arrested. More than half of them are the Laig giants who first raised troops.

This news has spread to the gathering place of Legg giants in Zurg. All this may lead to new hatred, but this is all a story later. At any rate, the rebellion was 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 the army and the city, has indeed left local citizens with nightmares that will last a lifetime.

By this time, 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 predators not only dug up a new star map, but also dug up some kind of anti-civilization biological weapon! They are now not only a large group of nomadic pirates, but also an anti-civilization and anti-carbon-based biological terrorist group that kills thousands of people! 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 imperial warships in the dozens of 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 they really the public toilets of our empire? Come when you want and leave when you want?

Although the scarlet predator warship had its bullet holes repaired, some of the damage could not be repaired by just waving a hammer. A discerning person would know at a glance that it had just come off the battlefield; a discerning person would also know at a glance that it was in very bad condition, and even if it could run, it would certainly not be able to fight.

As a result, the imperial warships that gathered there were all small and medium-sized warships, including light cruisers, destroyers, and even many assault ships. What do these little guys want? Are you 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 of 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 captured this dreadnought ship that originally belonged to the predator. Now, this dreadnought ship is already under the control of friendly forces in your country."

The imperial soldiers were immediately stunned. Of course, many people felt that this must be a conspiracy of 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 Royal Highness King Suliuka, and we are heading towards the Gate of Glory! Please stay calm!" Yu Lian said again.

Most of the Imperial soldiers were at a loss and could only continue to follow the surveillance.

Of course, there are a few smart and alert people who slapped the table and shouted: "Secret mission? We all think we are just 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 something to do with His Royal Highness King Su! At the God of War Festival, he was 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 he was fine. But, what should we do now? Open fire now?"

You must not open fire. Ordinary captains and squadron commanders would not dare to shoulder this responsibility. However, the Imperial Army, which dominates half of the galaxy, cannot be all rigid-minded fools who don't know how to adapt.

"Prepare to attack the landing craft and assault ships. Order him to temporarily stop the ship for inspection! If he doesn't agree, let the stormtroopers land to 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 it is 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 predators! 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. Handed over to you!"
