In the Melting Mountain Hotel, Chu Jungui walked out of the bathroom, wiping the water on his body with a huge bath towel. A projection appeared next to the sofa in the living room, and a ticket was slowly rotating inside. This was the ship to the N77 star field.
The ticket will dock at the star port closest to the 7703 system. From there, you can quickly return to Planet 4.
The trip in the red ocean was coming to an end, so Chu Jungui booked a ticket to return for the next day. With the efforts of Stormy's lawyers, any action to arrest Chu Jungui would be difficult, and Chu Jungui could walk calmly
.
Chu Jungui walked to the living room, clicked on the image, and confirmed the itinerary. Xino had already left early and headed to the planetary port, where Redbeard was already waiting for him, ready to handle the handover.
The handover procedure is very simple. After experiencing a devastating defeat, many of Redbeard's surviving Star Thieves are tired of their career as Star Thieves, and many people have questioned Redbeard's commanding ability. This Star Thief has long been in a
The crumbling edge, even if it is not transferred, will soon fall apart on the spot.
According to the information provided by Red Beard, in addition to handing over the starships purchased from Lightyear, a total of 4,100 star thieves are willing to join the new star thieves group, and more than 5,000 people have left voluntarily. More than 4,000 people, sounds like a lot,
In fact, there are less than 1,000 people who can actually fight, and the rest are family members or civilian personnel with little fighting ability.
As a price for taking over the remaining personnel, Redbeard lowered the transfer price from 2 billion to 1.2 billion, which was actually a little less than what she paid to buy the starship from Lightyear.
Chu Jungui changed his clothes, sat down on the seat in front of the window, and started browsing the interstellar news on time. The first move has been made, and now he is waiting for the opponent's counterattack, and the opponent will inevitably counterattack.
In the N77 star field, in the outer orbit of the 7705 galaxy, a huge mobile base floats quietly, becoming the tenth planet in the galaxy.
In the large command room on the upper level of the base center, a middle-aged general stood in front of a huge virtual porthole, looking at the dark red sun not far away.
A staff officer walked into the charge room, saluted and said: "General, this is a call back from Marshal Xu."
The middle-aged general turned around, revealing a face as cold as iron, glanced at the special light screen in the hands of his staff, and said, "Such a high level of confidentiality?"
"Top secret level." The staff officer handed over the light screen and then exited the command room.
This is the highest level of confidentiality communication method in the dynasty. Specific hardware must be used to see the corresponding information. The light screen was in the hands of the general and was successfully unlocked after a series of identity authentications.
A picturesque man appeared on the light screen. He was wearing a dynasty marshal's military uniform and had an indescribable temperament. He said unhurriedly: "General Su Jian, the follow-up operations of the Battle of the Cross-Line have been prepared. Very soon.
The battle is about to begin. This battle will mobilize three fleets, a total of 11 squadrons, and 6 planetary legions. The list of all legion commanders and squadron commanders has been released and is attached to this letter.
In addition, I heard that Marshal Lu Ke's age limit has been raised again, and there may be results in the near future.
The vertical line is the key strategic direction of the dynasty, so the material support on other front lines will be reduced. The situation in the N77 star field is delicate, and it is necessary to prevent the Federation from opening a breakthrough from here. Although the Ninth Fleet achieved brilliant results in the last battle, the Federation may
We won’t give up, there is intelligence showing that the Federation is secretly gathering in the direction of the N77 star field.
I still remember that when I first entered Zhige College, Brother Su Jian was full of glory when he spoke at the entrance ceremony as the representative of the graduating class. Thirty years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the smoke of gunfire has risen again. I am willing to fight hand in hand with my senior brother in the flames of war, and jointly overcome the epidemic.
The enemy is outside the country’s borders.”
The image on the light screen faded, and a list appeared. The admiral read the names one by one, very carefully. When he reached the end of the list, he went back to the beginning and read it again. Fang whispered to himself: "One
Are there no people named Lin?"
He was silent for a long time before putting down the light screen and reaching out to touch the three general stars on his shoulders.
Su Jian called his staff in and asked, "Is there going to be a meeting?"
"There are still 10 minutes left."
"Go over now."
After a while, Su Jian walked into the conference room. On the conference table, there was a star field map of N77. There were not many people in the conference room, there were only ten people in total, and the lowest rank was Lieutenant General. All the Fourth Fleet
The senior officials stationed in the N77 star field are already in the conference room.
Su Jian sat down at the end of the long table, looked around, and said slowly: "A new war may break out at any time, and we must complete preparations as soon as possible. Everyone knows that our fourth fleet has always been a second-line fleet, and it has been the first in the past thirty years.
Second-line deployment. It is undeniable that in this star field, the strength is still dominated by the Federation, so our situation is very dangerous. In addition, in the next period of time, we may not receive additional support
and supplies.”
All the generals understand what this means. The dynasty has other strategic priorities, and the N77 star field is likely to be strategically defended like last time. The problem is that the combat power of the Ninth Fleet has always been recognized as the top level of the dynasty, and the last battle was even more fierce.
The performance was brilliant, with the strength of only two squadrons resisting the siege of two full fleets of the Federation. As a long-standing second-line fleet, the Fourth Fleet has only three squadrons in total, and its combat power is not comparable.
The two squadrons of the Ninth Fleet are more numerous. And if the Federation makes a comeback, the situation of the Fourth Fleet is indeed worrying.
Everyone has a desire to win. These generals don't think they are necessarily worse than the Ninth Fleet, they are just unlucky enough to be assigned to the Fourth Fleet.
Another old general said at this time: "Our existing supplies can only support a high-intensity defensive war. If the war is prolonged, there will inevitably be a shortage of supplies. Don't the people above know this?
Even if they don't know, Lu Shuai always knows, right? When Lu Shuai comes, the situation will definitely get better."
He looked at Su Jian with inquiring eyes, but Su Jian had no expression on his face. The general felt a chill in his heart and stopped talking. All the generals were thinking, and combined with the overt and covert rumors, they were more or less convinced.
Understand that as the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Marshal Lu may never appear in the Fourth Fleet again. As for where Su Jian got the news from, it is not important, and there is no need to ask.
After a moment of silence, after initially digesting this shocking information, a lieutenant general said: "If we take one month of high-intensity defensive operations as the bottom line, our supplies are far from enough, and it is necessary to establish a planetary base."
Another lieutenant general shook his head: "This star field is extremely barren. Look at the 7705 galaxy in front of us. Although there are nine planets, none of them can be developed as mineral stars. Some valuable mineral veins have been used by the Ninth Fleet in
It was almost collected in the last war."
Su Jian frowned and said, "We can put aside the material issues for now, but in order to ensure victory, we must eliminate uncertainties in the war zone."
A general asked thoughtfully: "You mean those independent forces?"
Su Jian nodded: "Yes, they are nominally attached to the dynasty, but in fact they are in an uncontrollable state. It is not impossible to defect to the enemy. There are many such precedents in the past. Stationing in the N77 star field this time is both a challenge and a challenge for us.
It is also an opportunity. As long as we can block the federal attack, everyone knows what it means. Maybe 10 years later, we will still be colleagues."
Several gray-haired old generals were very excited.
They have reached the age of retirement, and they all know what Su Jian's words are referring to. The closer it is to retirement, the more reluctant they are to leave. As for the reason why they are reluctant to leave, it is hard to explain clearly.
A young and powerful lieutenant general frowned and said: "These independent forces are inextricably linked to the above, and there is no clear evidence that they will fight passively or betray. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for us to attack them directly.
, and we don’t have the corresponding authority.”
Su Jian thought for a moment and said: "That makes sense. We really need to be cautious. Let's see, there are 4 relatively large independent forces in the star field and 7 medium-sized forces. Send them a notice that according to the war act, the fleet will temporarily
After requisitioning materials, we will send people to your doorstep in 10 days to count assets and determine the requisition plan."
"10 days?" Everyone was confused about this time interval.
Su Jian said slowly: "In this period of time, there is enough news to travel back and forth from here to the capital star. We will just wait. If there are instructions from above, we will follow the instructions. If there are no instructions, we will follow the predetermined plan."
The generals suddenly realized.
10 days is neither long nor short. Those with a background can definitely get people to say hello twice. Those with a less strong background may be a little too late for public relations, but it is not hopeless. As for those with no background at all, 10 days and 100 days
There is no difference.
Seeing that the generals had no other topics to discuss, Su Jian announced the end of the meeting and was the first to leave the conference room. Several generals then left, and the rest of the generals had a tacit understanding and sat still.
The door of the conference room was closed again, and an old general took the lead in saying: "If there is a war this time and can be won, General Su will become Marshal Su, right?"
"You have to win the battle." A general said.
In fact, everyone knows that at the level of admiral, Su Jian has a very average background and his abilities are not amazing. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will be the same as the previous two times. There was a hope of promotion, but
Suddenly, an immediate superior appeared.
The old general coughed and said: "Those who are left behind are all old comrades, and they all hope that General Su can make further progress. Let's do our homework in advance and analyze these independent forces one by one to see which one can move and which one must be the leader."
I can’t see it. It’s better to have a plan when we act like this, the federation won’t give us much time.”
Another general also nodded and said: "Be more ruthless to those who can attack. This way, when the war is over, it will be regarded as a credit."
Everyone understood and nodded. From a dynasty's point of view, they naturally don't like vassals and independent forces.
