Ye Han immediately entered the virtual conference room, but he was still a step too late. The place was already full. In addition to Huo Qiang, there was also an old Caucasian man with white hair on his face and a face that could kill flies.
Even if the Chinese captains don't recognize this old guy's face, they still recognize the military rank on his shoulders - the only five-star admiral in the international fleet, General Halsey.
Ye Han was very surprised. He didn't expect this to be a joint meeting between the two fleets, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
All the participants arrived in the blink of an eye. The captains of the Jizhou fleet sat on the left side of the long table, and the captains from the international fleet sat on the other side.
The people on the Chinese side are all yellow, but the people on the opposite side are mainly white, with a small amount of yellow and black. Everyone is wearing their own country's military uniform, which looks like a mess.
Opposite Ye Han was a burly Caucasian man with a sinewy face. There was a conspicuous maple leaf flag on his left arm. There were tricolor flags on the left and right sides of the maple leaf flag. The colors on the flags looked similar, but the positions of the color blocks were different. They were fundamentally different.
It is not clear which country they are from.
Turning around and looking carefully, at least half of the more than 80 captains are Americans, and the rest are from every country... This is not surprising. The international fleet is essentially a joint fleet, and the property rights of every warship belong to
Different countries and international fleets only have the right to command and use these warships.
Warships are a mobile territory. It is naturally impossible for these captains to wear other people's military uniforms when they are on their own "land".
Ye Han had a vague impression that in the past few years, Washington seemed to want to unify the uniforms of the international fleets, but it encountered unanimous opposition from all countries, and the plan to unify the military uniforms had to be abandoned in the end.
For some reason, Ye Han suddenly thought of Panmunjom.
When the last captain appeared, Wu Han coughed lightly: "Commander, everyone is here."
Huo Qiang nodded and looked at Halsey: "General Halsey, are all your people here?"
Halsey said in blunt Chinese: "We're all here."
"Okay!" Huo Qiang stood up and said without hesitation, "Now let me introduce the situation."
As he waved his hand tenaciously, a piece of light and shadow immediately appeared above the conference table. It was a void of unknown direction. In the void was a dense group of alien warships the size of fingers. It was hard to count how many there were at the moment.
There was a dead silence in the venue, but the dead silence immediately turned into an uproar, but no matter how much I opened my mouth, I couldn't hear a sound.
The Chinese captains immediately realized that Huo Qiang had turned off the speech function in the virtual conference room, so everyone immediately fell silent and stared at Huo Qiang with various emotions.
The captains of the international fleet soon realized something was wrong and fell silent one by one.
Huo Qiang flicked his finger, and the screen quickly shrunk. The enemy ship the size of a finger quickly became the size of a melon seed. At this time, a red planet appeared on the edge of the screen, and the captains present were in an uproar again.
Huo Qiang roared in a calm but unmistakable voice: "Quiet!"
The noise gradually subsided. Huo Qiang glanced at Halsey and said: "We have just received a warning from Beiyuezhou that a powerful alien fleet is about to arrive at Jupiter. According to the observations of the space telescope, the number of enemy ships is not less than one."
Thousands, based on their flight trajectories, these enemy ships came from Saturn... I know you have many questions to ask, but General Halsey and I don't know much. We have called everyone here for two purposes.
The first is to report the situation; the second is to study countermeasures, and now you can speak...General Halsey, let's each mind our own business."
"Okay," Halsey said.
Huo Qiang immediately divided the venue into two. Although the positions and seats remained the same, the people on both sides were separated and could not hear each other's voices.
Huo Qiang said: "Those who want to speak raise their hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room raised their arms. Even Zhuang Bo and Wu Han raised their hands.
Huo Qiang nodded directly to Zhuang Bo, and Zhuang Bo immediately put down his arm: "Commander, when will the enemy arrive?"
"Based on the data currently available, it's between half a month and 20 days."
"Is this the only batch? Or are there more to come?"
"Only this batch has been found so far."
"What's going on with Saturn?"
"Not sure."
"The enemy is almost in front of you, why didn't you notice something was wrong before?"
"Because of the comet." Huo Qiang pointed his finger, and the suspended image shrank again. A comet with a long tail soon appeared on the edge of the image. "This is a new comet. The enemy has been hiding in the comet's tail before."
, because the comet’s orbit is relatively far from Jupiter, these enemy forces had to leave the tail of the comet, and this was discovered by the space telescope.”
"I understand." Zhuang Bo nodded, "I have no problem."
"Wu Han?" Huo Qiang named him.
Wu Han said: "Twenty days is too short..."
Huo Qiang waved his hand: "I know what you want to say. There is really not enough time, so the original encirclement plan is cancelled. After the meeting, the fleet will fly directly to the inner layer of Jupiter."
"Is it possible? Is it too hasty?"
"You have to do it even if you don't." Huo Qiang said, "We are only a little over a hundred in total, and the enemy is a thousand or several hundred. If we don't seize the time, we will have no chance at all.
Zhuang Bo said: "I finally understand. No wonder the aliens have withdrawn all the warships. This is not a solid wall and a clear field. They are waiting for reinforcements from Saturn... By the way, how is their speed?"
"The speed is not slow, it should be directly cut into the orbit around Jupiter." Huo Qiang said.
Jupiter's escape velocity is 60 kilometers per second. As long as the phase velocity is below 60 kilometers per second, it can be pulled by Jupiter's gravity and fly directly around Jupiter.
Zhuang Bo sighed: "This is really troublesome."
Huo Qiang said: "Yes, the trouble is not small, and we don't have much time left."
Zhuang Bo asked curiously: "Then what is our new plan? Are we going to find a way to intercept it? Even if we delay it for one more day."
Huo Qiang shook his head and said: "It's difficult to handle. Our military strength is already quite limited. If we divide some more...there are so many enemy ships, how much is too much? My opinion is to go all out and compete with the enemy for time. In the end,
It’s good to capture the inner layer before the enemy arrives, what do you think?”
"Half a month is really too short." Zhuang Bo said.
Wu Han echoed: "Yes, it's too short, and aliens are not targets. We really can't be sure of this time... How about we send more warships, add a few more transport ships, and use long-range firepower to intercept, we can delay more
Take as long as it takes."
"I agree." Zhuang Bo said, "Isn't our super shotgun the most suitable for this job?"
Huo Qiang hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "That's fine, a few less battleships won't have much effect anyway, so let's do it!"
