Chapter 100 The Cheers of the First Pre-War Speech
"Okay, but we need some time to set up tactics."
Mursili maintained a humble and arrogant demeanor. Although "Katusha" went through several fierce battles and suffered heavy losses, the situation was much better than the enemies huddled underground in Messier. p>
"We also need some time." Chief of General Staff Shankara said immediately.
After a few final words of greeting, the two sides temporarily interrupted the energy-consuming interstellar real-time image contact. In the subsequent potentially protracted war, they will communicate through encrypted messages disguised as natural pulses of celestial bodies.
"Kalki, I think your plan is very creative and can catch the enemy unawares, but..." Shankara immediately stood in front of the supreme commander and looked at him seriously and worriedly with brown-green eyes, "Most people
We are exhausted from the last battle, if luck is not on our side..."
"Then go pray and call everyone to pray before the war!"
The leader waved his hand and issued an extremely firm order.
In addition to the combat readiness sirens at all levels, all Plato warships also have a call for pre-war prayers, which is like a spiritual and vast call from the stars in the universe and space. After hearing this sound, all personnel will immediately gather in various places.
Inside the "prayer room" of the battleship.
In essence, the Platonic people are a nation born of religion.
The prayer room of "Varuna" is filled with a bright deep blue light, and high technology has made religious ceremonies full of unparalleled immersiveness.
All the backgrounds have been gradually blurred. The knights gathered in a circle, and many other combatants, as well as non-combatants, and even logistics support and cleaning department personnel, gathered together. Under the special light, they
It's like floating in the sky.
They bowed their heads in accordance with Captain Kalki's order, clasped their hands, and prayed for the fleet to successfully capture the Messier base and achieve victory.
Then, under the control of the priest, a small bottle of "manna" as red as human blood appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone drank it in one gulp, letting the will to fight fill their bodies.
"I need to give a pre-war speech to all the personnel to inspire them to fight bravely!" Kalki said to the chief priest.
The Platonic system is a system that requires individuals to operate like worker bees, suppressing any charismatic leader. Even the Platonic emperor is similar to a virtual king hidden in the palace. In theory, any general is prohibited from taking actions to win over people's hearts.
Including actions such as giving a pre-war speech.
The chief priest, Bi Naga, winked slightly, his light blue eyes shining in the light, and the muscles on his face twitched.
Although this is against the rules, everyone knows that this is the last battle in which Kalki fulfills his duties as Grand Master.
Out of favor, Binaga connected the prayer room communication lines of each ship.
As a result, the images of regimental leaders appeared on the screens in the prayer rooms of all Plato ships - from battleships to repair ships, from senior knights to young retinues, from medical soldiers to maintenance soldiers, from logistics personnel to cleaning department staff
, every member of this huge fleet saw Captain Kalki.
This is an exceptionally handsome, even extremely handsome young man of the Indo-European race. His long blond hair is tied loosely into a bun on top of his head. He has a pair of blue eyes that shine with an unwavering expression, bright and deep.
From the straight nose at the base to the thin lips, there is an extremely graceful, sculpture-like line.
His whole body exudes a kind of perseverance, determination, and unyielding nobility like a warrior. He shines like a god on the high-definition display screen of quantum entanglement.
Kalki's appearance is that of a typical high-caste Platonic white noble. Although all the knights under the White Tiger Knights belong to Plato's white noble race, the majority of a fleet are ship-borne soldiers of low-level Kshatriya origin. In addition,
To maintain the operation of the entire fleet, a large number of white laborers of Sudra origin are needed. It is the first time for the lower-class crew members to see their supreme commander.
Due to the superstition and admiration for excellent genes, today's Platonic society has transformed from "everyone is equal" in the early days of the war to a typical caste-based society. Although it operates well, the upper and lower classes perform their own duties, almost in a state of class segregation.
, individuals live in small groups of their own class and rarely interact with each other.
"Warriors!"
"Comrades!"
In a space fleet of more than 100,000 people, this is the first time for most people to hear the voice of the supreme commander.
Kalki's voice is low, but it is clear and magnetic. It is very nice to listen to and full of sincere emotions. It is like an archangel inspiring all the angels to fight, exuding a suffocating fighting enthusiasm.<
/p>
"The Messier base withstood 11 attacks by Plato's army, causing us to lose 8,000 people. The three major knights all came back defeated under the bombardment of the strongest proton cannon Atlas."
"So we come here to fight, come for honor, and come for victory."
"You are brave, you are always victorious, you who make the people of Plato and the Senate proud, you are the ones I trust and rely on the most!"
"Messier Base is just a battle between trapped beasts. We will soon run out of ammunition and food. We must rush in, occupy it, destroy it, massacre the Gaia army, and let them never forget your great power..."
When he said this, he almost began to stir up all the strength in his body, and his voice changed when he spoke.
"After this battle, we will enter the hall of honor of the God of War..."
"We have just gone through a fierce battle before, and the tears of mourning for our comrades have not dried. Many of us are injured. I am just like you. I will fight side by side with you."
Everyone was listening unusually quietly, and the eyes of many young knights were shining as brightly as stars. This was a pre-war mobilization speech they had never heard before.
Compared with Gaia's army, which often falls into chaos, Plato's army shows absolute rationality and absolute perfection. However, fighting perfectly under this exact mechanical rationality will bring indescribable depression to the individual. p>
Human beings may be far from perfect. Just like the shock brought by the unprecedented pre-war speech that broke the rules, passion itself is an accident.
"This is an all-out battle. We must grit our teeth, unite as one, and ignore any bloodshed and sacrifice. I will lead you to charge, and I will always be with you!"
"Knights! There is no greater love than laying down your life for your brothers. We must fight for victory! Fight to win the eternal kingdom of heaven! Charge, kill, don't let your companions who have ascended to heaven be shamed.
, let us fulfill the highest love in mutual sacrifice!”
"Let us meet in the warrior's paradise, God is with us!"
Finally, he roared and ended his first pre-war speech to all the crew.
The knights on the "Varuna" were all fascinated by the passionate speech of the regiment leader. They cheered like an explosion and yelled in German with their thick voices: "Siegheil!
"Siegheil!" "Siegheil!" "Siegheil!"
Fiery fighting passion swept through the entire prayer room like a tsunami, and everyone saluted Kalki with the Roman salute [1]. For a time, thousands of arms were raised horizontally, and the atmosphere was so frenzied that it was close to mass hysteria. The knights on other battleships and the huge groups of soldiers of other arms also cheered like this. When they saw the thunderous cheers on the flagship site, they couldn't help but raise their arms in a Roman salute and kept shouting "Siegheil". Others were very special.
Fighters rarely experience the fighting passion of the Kshatriya class, but they are also moved by it. This is the first time they feel that they are treated completely equally and are treated as a member of the fighting body, rather than a lower caste.
I couldn't help but join in the enthusiastic applause and cheers.
For the first time, Kalki was surrounded by this kind of fanatical love. He felt that he had become a god and was rising up in this crazy love like a raging flame.
Luo Hu beside him softly stopped him, but he could no longer stop the cheers that were like a landslide and a tsunami. He was even caught up in the passion of the crowd, and soon became more fanatical and excited than anyone else.
Commander Rahula and Siddha cheered intoxicatedly, raising their right hands straight and powerfully.
Only Chief of Staff Shankara looked pale, and he did not know how to report this matter to the saint.
Kalki is always so frank and fierce, regardless of the consequences, as if he has the heart of a teenager.
For Kalki, in a sense, he has the experience of being captured by Gaia's army to thank.
The short six weeks he experienced in Mangxing City allowed him to break away from the pure white Platonic aristocratic world and enter a completely different world, where he saw all kinds of people - the "scornful and violent" people of mixed blood that he had despised in the past.
"Car"[2].
This forced him to think about life again, and he discovered that they were the same human beings as himself.
Dietary taboos and lifestyles cannot distort human commonality. A kind of universalist thought sprouted in him. Whether it is Plato or Gaia, human society needs to be renovated and find a way to salvation.
"They're coming!" exclaimed a young space radar operator.
Admiral Schwartz and Lieutenant General Sanjoin, who were rehearsing defensive tactics on the three-dimensional ion screen, raised their heads.
The staff team quickly processed the collected images and sent them to the central command podium. Everyone hurriedly came to watch the battle.
The Third Fleet "Hatusa" and the White Tiger Knights each formed a half-moon formation and aggressively surrounded the Messier base from both sides. The White Tiger Knights dispatched 8,000 transforming fighter planes, plus Hattusa's fighter group and countless
A swarm of drones, as well as more than 1,900 warships and other purpose vessels from both sides rushed over.
No one expected that the Platon attack would come so quickly!
[1] Plato’s military salute adopts the Roman salute, with the palm of the right hand facing down and the right hand extended basically parallel to the ground.
[2] The Sanskrit word Mleccha means non-Aryans who do not abide by the Vedas, and by extension means "barbarians" or "foreigners".
