When Ye Han saw the new casualty list, he hesitated for a while before clicking on the list with trepidation.
His eyes passed over names that were either unfamiliar or familiar. Each name seemed to turn into a stone, falling on his heart one after another, making it difficult for him to breathe.
I accidentally saw Gao Kai's name on the seriously injured list!
Ye Han was immediately startled. Wasn't Gao Kai on the Sirius? How did he get injured?
How did he know that Gao Kai actually escaped death?
At that time, Gao Kai led the command post to leave the Sirius, and originally wanted to place the command post on the Nanzhou, because that was the place he was most familiar with.
However, the fleet was in a hurry to rush to the interception point, and the Nanzhou was relatively far away. In the end, it had to do the next best thing and randomly find a super gunboat to serve as a temporary flagship.
It was this temporary decision that saved Gao Kai and the entire fleet command - the super gunboat was severely damaged in the last round of battle, with many people injured, but few sacrificed.
Then Ye Han found Ouyang Ping's name, which did not mean sacrifice or serious injury, but represented an unknown disappearance.
Being missing means there is still hope, but the location of missing is in space far away from the earth. In that ghost place, the difference between missing and dying is almost equal.
Ye Han felt a dull pain in his heart and was unwilling to continue reading, so he simply closed the list and stopped reading.
His mentality may be a bit ostrich, but he would rather slowly learn from acquaintances which comrades died than see cold names on the list.
There is also news about the Sirius, which is to withdraw to Beiyuezhou immediately.
At this time, the mopping up work was still in full swing, and the Sirius was not only the fastest battleship, but also the largest and the best in condition. One Sirius could equal a group of other battleships. No matter how you looked at it,
At this time, the Sirius should not be withdrawn to Beiyue Continent.
But he immediately thought of the dozens of alien warships on Io.
As expected, the Sirius, which returned to Beiyue Continent, took a short rest, replenished its weapons and equipment, and immediately left the earth for Europa.
Even if there is only one enemy ship, it is still a hidden danger that may break out at any time. We must nip it in the bud and completely eliminate the enemy.
The above two messages were sent in the name of the joint command, which means that all human armies can receive it. In addition, the fleet also received a message sent in the name of Bei Yuezhou. Only the subordinates of Beidu
The message can only be received by the military department at the highest level.
This was a very unusual phenomenon. After opening the message, Ye Han discovered that the actual situation was even more unexpected: Huo Qiang believed that he had made a command error in the just-concluded campaign and had resigned. He no longer served as the supreme commander of the Space Force.
The candidate for the commander has not yet been determined, and Chief of Staff Wu Han is temporarily in charge of the specific work of the space force.
It is said that when the commander resigns, the deputy commander should take over, but Zhuang Bo was not mentioned in the news at all, so I don't know what happened.
The message also mentioned Beidu's arrangements for Huo Qiang. Since Huo Qiang not only serves as the commander of his own space force, but also the supreme commander of the combined fleet, it is not suitable to leave at this critical time, so he only accepts Huo Qiang's offer internally.
After resigning, Huo Qiang will continue to serve as the commander of the combined fleet until the aftermath of the battle is completed or the joint command is disbanded.
The combined fleet is gone, and the remaining eight warships are from Beidu. It would be strange if the combined command headquarters is not disbanded.
Although Ye Han had no political acumen, he saw something different from this news: What does it mean to accept a resignation internally?
This statement is simply too flexible. It is completely understandable that Beidou believed that this battle was indeed a fault of Huo Qiang's command, so it accepted Huo Qiang's resignation, and only let Huo Qiang take charge for a while just to save face.
This makes no sense. Any decision made by Huo Qiang must be reviewed by the observation team. If the observation team thinks that Huo Qiang's order is problematic, it can vote to suspend the order. Since the observation team did not do this, it is equivalent to
To say that the observation team agreed with Huo Qiang's decision means that Huo Qiang's command did not make mistakes, at least there were no mistakes in principle. It makes no sense to hold Huo Qiang responsible for this battle.
Could it be that Beidu wants to find someone to take the blame? Or is there some other unknown inside story?
If it were before the war, Ye Han would definitely think that this was a game between factions, but today is different from the past. Now everything is tilted in the direction of fighting against aliens. Is there anyone who dares to risk the disapproval of the world?
Intentionally stabbed in the back?
Ye Han directly ignored the word "resignation" in the message. This thing was just a fig leaf. Only the devil knew whether he really resigned.
Ye Han couldn't figure it out, so he wrote a report seriously and sent it back to Earth, explaining the occurrence and development of this battle from various angles. In the report, he conducted an in-depth analysis of the orders issued by Huo Qiang, and finally made the following statement in the report:
We concluded that Huo Qiang's orders were timely and accurate. Even if there were mistakes, it was only because of insufficient intelligence. Therefore, Huo Qiang should not be held responsible.
Huo Qiang has been the leader for so many years. He has promoted as many as 800 officers if not a thousand, and as many as 800 generals if not 100. Even if a large number of people have been sacrificed, there are still many people who are qualified to speak, so Ye Han is not the only one who writes reports.
One, but all the reports were like sinking into the sea, making no waves at all.
This confirmed everyone's speculation that Huo Qiang had been wronged in some way.
In fact, that is not the case at all. The reason why Beidu has not responded is actually to persuade Huo Qiang to change his mind.
Huo Qiang really believed that he did not command this battle well. Although he had undergone cell fusion and his whole body was more energetic than before, he felt that he was only physically more energetic, but mentally more rigid than the young officer.
Many, in today's world where military equipment, strategies and tactics are changing with each passing day, an old antique like him with outdated concepts is really not suitable to continue to command the space fleet.
If he had been replaced by a younger, more agile-thinking commander, this battle might not have been as brutal, so he planned to step aside and give way, but he didn't expect that so many subordinates would fight against him.
Everyone agreed that Huo Qiang's command was very stable. Such a result was inseparable from Huo Qiang's correct command when the enemy was strong and we were bombarded. If it had been replaced by another person, the final result of this battle would have been very likely.
Will be rewritten.
The support from his subordinates made Huo Qiang feel heart-warming, and Bei Du's persuasion also made him feel more pressure. However, Huo Qiang was determined by the weight. In the end, Bei Du had no choice but to let Huo Qiang send messages one by one to explain that it was all his own.
the meaning of.
In a message to Ye Han, Huo Qiang severely accused Ye Han of not doing his job properly and asked him to put aside everything and fight this battle well, otherwise he would not go back to Beiyuezhou to see him.
Ye Han was under great pressure and quickly put his thoughts back and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle that was about to begin.
