With a slight beep, the flying car parked on the upper floor of the mobile base. Lin Xi came to his senses and stepped off the flying car. A young officer came up to him and saluted: "Is that Lieutenant Colonel Lin? General Lu is holding a meeting.
War meeting, I heard that you are back and asked me to pick you up to attend the meeting."
Lin Xi asked casually: "Is it an enlarged meeting?"
"No, it's an emergency meeting, covering the generals. You are the only special participant."
"Then go there now."
After a while, Lin Xi entered the conference room and quietly sat down in the last row. In front of the central star map, Lieutenant General Lu Queyun, commander of the mobile base, was briefing on the current war situation. There were wars everywhere on the star map, and the blue color representing the Federation was rapidly changing.
It spread, and the dynasty was almost in retreat.
Before the Lieutenant General finished reporting the battle situation, someone couldn't help but ask: "Is the Federation launching a full-scale attack?"
The lieutenant general said solemnly: "Most of them are small-scale battles. It is too early to say a full-scale attack now."
A general frowned and said: "It's late, isn't it? The scale of these battles combined is quite large."
The lieutenant general did not answer this question, but continued to report his own defense situation.
The meeting did not last long and ended in just an hour. When walking out of the conference hall, Lin Xi's face looked a little solemn.
In addition to reporting the battle situation, this combat meeting did not give any more countermeasures. The Dynasty has fallen into complete passivity in this star field. The Ninth Fleet's three mobile bases used as strategic support points have been beaten back. If they want to
It will take at least a month to return, and the situation will worsen.
The passive battle situation is more due to the inferiority of military strength. The Federation is harassed everywhere, and the dynasty is already a little exhausted just in defense. Although there are only a few major battles so far, there are an astonishing number of small-scale battles. For these veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time
For many of us, we have already sensed the imminent storm.
At the end of the meeting, all the generals stopped staying and hurried away to return to their troops.
Lin Xi's starship needed to wait for repairs, and she had nowhere to go for the time being. She walked slowly while thinking. At this time, the young officer from before came over and said, "General Lu invites you to come to his office."
Lin Xi nodded and followed him to the upper level of the base. At this time, the young officer suddenly lowered his voice and said quickly: "Lieutenant Colonel, we heard some rumors about you, and everyone is very angry. If the battle depends on your sacrifice,
Personal happiness can be saved, so what do we need to do? Now many people like me are ready to fight those bastards in the Federation. After winning this battle, they will go back to settle accounts with those bastards who took advantage of the situation in the rear!"
Lin Xi was dumbfounded and asked, "What rumors are there about me?"
The young officer said: "It's already this time, and there's nothing I can't say. In fact, the news has spread, saying that the Xu family has withheld two-thirds of the promised aid, and we have to wait for you and any of the Xu family's children to have it."
As a result, we were willing to send follow-up supplies.”
Lin Xi was startled, "Is there such a thing?"
The young officer said: "The quantity of military supplies that will arrive recently is indeed much less than planned. It is far from enough to even replace losses, let alone reverse the situation of the war."
Lin Xi didn't speak and walked silently.
Seeing the lieutenant general's office right in front, the young officer said softly: "In short, we will all stand on your side! Although... although I know that I am not worthy of you, I have a heart to fight to the death!"
Lin Xi was a little surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, the lieutenant general's adjutant appeared at this time and solved the problem.
The young officer seized the last opportunity and said quickly: "My name is Duan Cheng."
Lin Xi nodded to him and followed the lieutenant general's adjutant into the office.
The lieutenant general stood in front of the star map, drinking tea one sip after another. In fact, the tea cup was already empty, but he didn't realize it.
The adjutant exited the office and the door closed automatically.
"General?" Lin Xi waited for a while and saw no movement, then called out.
The lieutenant general came back to his senses and said, "You're here, I didn't even notice you."
"Is the war going badly?"
In fact, Lin Xi didn't even need to ask this question.
The lieutenant general wanted to drink tea again, and then he realized that the cup was empty. He smiled mockingly, put the cup aside and said: "It's not bad, it's very bad, and it will get worse. We are here
Every place is suffering losses, and although the federation has also suffered losses, they can afford losses, but we cannot afford losses."
Lin Xi said: "I heard that the Xu family withheld the aid materials?"
The lieutenant general relaxed his thick eyebrows and said: "There is a batch of military supplies scheduled to arrive. It was originally ten transport ships, but we just received the news that only three ships can arrive at the original time. When will the rest be able to arrive?
Arrival, there is no definite news yet.”
"What's in this batch of supplies?"
The lieutenant general smiled bitterly, "Food, fuel. Well, there are also a batch of heavy-duty space torpedoes."
A little anger began to burn in Lin Xi's eyes. Heavy space torpedoes are a type of missile with great power. They are the main weapon for small starships to fight against large starships. They are consumables and are in huge demand in the current battle. Once
Its supply cannot keep up, and its impact on combat effectiveness is self-evident.
Lin Xi suppressed his anger and said, "How dare they even seize such supplies?"
The lieutenant general glanced at Lin Xi and sighed: "They really dare. The assistance from the dynasty will arrive in two weeks. This batch of supplies was supported by the Xu family themselves, but it was agreed long ago, but suddenly it came out.
Variables, and they didn’t give a reason.”
Lin Xi said directly: "Is it related to Xu Zhanfeng?"
The lieutenant general sighed and said: "The Xu family has not made it clear, and I will not think in this direction. Even if there is such a reason, I will never let you suffer such injustice. Marshal Lin knows me well."
Even if I don’t want this official position, it doesn’t matter.”
Lin Xi asked: "In the eyes of the Xu family, am I really that important that I would even risk destroying my reputation?"
Lu Queyun laughed and said: "Don't underestimate yourself too much. We old people like Marshal Lin are very optimistic about you. In the recent series of battles, your record is amazing enough. In time, the Lin family will definitely have another marshal.
.Would those old foxes in the Xu family know about something that even we can see? With you, the Xu family will have a mainstay in the next few decades or even a hundred years."
Lin Xi shook his head, "I really didn't think I was that powerful. Even in that battle just now, I didn't perform at all."
"That's just a gain or loss for one city or one place. But when you judge that their target is base Fulan, that's really powerful."
After receiving the compliment, Lin Xi couldn't laugh.
