He sat in silence for a moment before walking out of the conference room. Lu Queyun had been waiting outside the door and came up to him and asked: "Marshal, what was the result?"
Lin Xuanshang stopped and said, "How long can the Xu family's batch of supplies last?"
"2 weeks."
"Two weeks? It's barely enough. New supplies will be delivered in two weeks, but the quantity will only be half of the original amount."
"Half? Half is enough for what kind of war?" Lu Queyun was shocked.
Lin Xuan Shang said: "The dynasty has decided to reopen a war zone, which happens to be on our axis. The troops invested in the new war zone are much larger than here, and naturally they have more priority in the distribution of materials. At this time, we have to
Take the overall situation into consideration.”
"The overall situation? What is the overall situation? Are we hundreds of thousands of soldiers not the overall situation?"
Lin Xuanshang smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Lu, you have been in the army for decades, why do you still say such things?"
Lu Queyun said: "I just can't stand the mood in my heart. You also have great achievements in battle, but who can win this kind of battle?"
Lin Xuanshang smiled and said: "We have fought many more difficult battles than this. Are you afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid, it's just..."
"As long as you're not afraid. Let's call everyone for a meeting. We have to think carefully about how to fight the next battle."
Although the atmosphere of the following meeting was a bit solemn, the generals did not give up and planned seriously. After all, Lin Xuan was still there.
Halfway through the meeting, Lin Xuan Shang's personal terminal suddenly received a message. The message was of the highest confidentiality level, and only Lin Xuan Shang himself was qualified to view it. This was an order sent from the staff headquarters. When Lin Xuan Shang opened it, his expression immediately changed.
.
That was a transfer order, appointing Lin Xuan Shang to be the commander of the 5th Fleet. The 5th Fleet will serve as the dynasty's general reserve force in this direction, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
At the end of the transfer order, it was particularly emphasized that the order would take effect immediately and Lin Xuanshang needed to set off within 24 hours.
Lin Xuanshang finished the combat meeting first, and then announced the latest appointment. This order immediately caused an uproar, and no one understood why there was such an order. Lin Xuanshang did not explain, but just asked someone to send a message to Lin Xi.
Let her come back as soon as possible.
After half a day, Lin Xi drove a scarred frigate back to the base. She quickly walked into Lin Xuanshang's office and saw Lin Xuanshang standing in front of the virtual porthole, looking at the endless sky. The blue sun in the distance was particularly dazzling.
, the light emitted seems to envelope the entire universe.
"Why were you transferred?" Lin Xi asked as soon as she walked in.
Lin Xuan Shang said calmly: "The Ninth Fleet does not belong to our Lin family, I have just served here for a long time. The Staff Headquarters has the right to transfer anyone to command the Ninth Fleet, and it also has the right to transfer me to other places. What's more,
The scale of the 5th Fleet that took office this time is no worse than that of the 9th Fleet, and its mission is also very important. This is not to belittle it, but to level it at most."
"But what about here?"
"Our mission is to maintain the front as much as possible, delay the federal expansion, and assist in the opening of the second theater."
"Second War Zone?"
Lin Xuanshang briefly talked about the decision-making process of the General Staff Headquarters' attack on the Takeo 3 system.
"Is this Xu Bingyanti's plan? He is targeting us."
Lin Xuan Shang said: "I also know that his purpose is not pure, but if this factor is not taken into consideration, then there is no problem with the plan itself. Wu Fu 3 is indeed a better target and will hit the federation more severely.
The only thing that needs to be considered is whether we really want to escalate the war. Our attack on Wufu 3 means that both sides have entered the stage of all-out war."
Lin Xi's face was solemn, knowing exactly what this meant. "So, the higher-ups have decided to start a full-scale war?"
Lin Xuanshang sighed and said, "I'm afraid so."
"Is it still possible to stop it?"
"Not very likely."
Lin Xuanshang looked at the time and said, "I'm leaving in four hours. Please pack your things and come with me."
"Where to go?"
"Fifth Fleet."
"Ling Fei is going too?"
Lin Xuan Shang hesitated a little, "If I just get there, I will need someone familiar to help me."
"Then I won't go."
Lin Xuanshang smiled bitterly and said, "Xixi, you don't need to worry about it so much, right?"
Lin Xi said seriously: "I'm not fussy, and I don't care about Ling Fei that much. But my position is here. Now that the war situation is unfavorable, but I want to be transferred midway, this is running away!"
"According to what you say, then I'm just running away from the battlefield."
"That's different. Most of the Ninth Fleet has not yet been transferred. The specifications of the existing theater do not require you to command at all. Besides, the General Staff Headquarters ordered you to be transferred to the Fifth Fleet, and what does it mean if I follow you there?"
Lin Xuan Shang shook his head helplessly, knowing that he could not persuade Lin Xi, so he could only say: "Then take care of yourself, I have signed a special order to promote you to the rank of colonel. This way you can command a destroyer. I hope it will give you a better life."
play. Of course, this also means more risks."
Lin Xi smiled, "I really need a bigger platform."
A few hours later, Lin Xuan Shang's ship slowly left the berth and flew into the distance.
Lin Xi walked out of the headquarters, taking the promotion order that had just taken effect, to receive his new ship. This was an old starship that had just been renovated from the repair line, and its condition was restored to its peak.
When Lin Xi arrived at the berth, the starship was parked quietly on the berth, with the bottom supply bay door open, and special load-carrying trucks delivering huge space torpedoes into the cabin. On the square in front of the berth
, there were sailors gathered in groups of twos and threes everywhere. Some of them were chatting about the battle situation, some were staring at the ceiling blankly, and some were just lying on the ammunition pile to sleep, regardless of the fact that they could blow themselves up countless times under their butts.
high explosive ammunition.
Lin Xi passed between them and inadvertently listened to everyone's chatter.
She walked and listened like this all the way, and arrived at the gangway of the starship. The identity verification was automatically passed, and the starship hatch opened automatically. However, Lin Xi did not walk in immediately, but turned around and glanced at the square.
All the crew members in the square suddenly received a summons order, asking them to gather in front of the starship in three minutes. This order was very abrupt, but it could not be disobeyed. No matter what they were doing, many crew members jumped up and flew
Run to the starship.
In just three minutes, all crew members outside the starship were in place.
Lin Xi looked at the crew below and said, "I am your new captain Lin Xi. From today on, we will fight side by side!"
There was silence below, no cheers, no excitement or fear, everyone was watching her quietly.
Lin Xi's voice slowed down and he said: "I originally had the opportunity to be transferred, but I think I have to stay. Maybe everyone is dissatisfied with the war situation and doesn't understand the arrangements above, but that doesn't matter. Our mission now is to stay here.
, hold back the enemy, and our Ninth Fleet has never had a tradition of failing to complete its mission!"
Lin Xi's cold voice spread throughout the audience: "The next battles this ship will fight will be fierce and dangerous battles. We will appear wherever the danger is most! So now you have the last chance to withdraw. If you don't want to continue fighting,
, you can apply to be transferred to the logistics department or the base guard force. As long as someone applies, I will approve it immediately!"
Perhaps as expected or perhaps unexpectedly, more than half of the crew members present submitted applications to leave the ship.
Lin Xi accepted the approvals one by one, regardless of the fact that the personnel on the ship may have fallen below the minimum standard.
After the last application was approved and looking at the remaining people, Lin Xi showed a smile and said, "Let's go."
At this moment, a message suddenly appeared on her personal terminal. Lin Xi opened it and was stunned for a moment. It was a message with no beginning or end, and the sender was not even displayed. The message only had a simple line:
No matter what you do, I'll be there.
A figure suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's mind, and she was immediately rejected. That guy might not be able to say such a thing in ten thousand years. What's more, he was still on an isolated planet. She didn't have time to elaborate.
Check who sent this message, turn around and enter the starship.
In the low-Earth orbit of Planet No. 4, Li Ruobai turned around and asked, "What did you just do?"
