interstellar fairy tale

It has been nearly a month since the space fleet of the Golden Empire occupied the Royce artificial celestial body. During this period, both the Republic of Seth and the military regime of Mars have taken a cautious attitude towards this alien system fleet. .Leaving aside the Republic of Seth, which was unable to recapture the Royce artificial celestial body, as the officers and men of the Sixth Fleet and Eighth Fleet of the Mars Space Fleet who barely escaped in the last battle, they are still brooding over the last battle. , They will not be afraid of death, and uphold the worship of absolute power. They even look forward to competing with this fleet again, and it will become stronger as time goes by.However, it is very obvious that the Mars military government and Canon military fortress commander Terry will not allow them to do this. Even the fleet commanders Colonel Edgar and Colonel Hansen are also trying to calm the occasional agitation of the soldiers. Emotional efforts.

As a commander who has always been unassuming but is still respected by the fleet soldiers, Colonel Edgar seldom used harsh and rude orders to stop the soldiers from certain behaviors, but this time, he unusually spoke in a very serious and irresistible tone , conveyed an order from Hercules, the capital of Mars planet: "Boys, as a proud member of the Mars space fleet, before realizing your personal heroism, the first thing you need to consider is to defend the country and the people! You are now able to stand here in the Kanon military fortress and listen to my speech unscathed. It is your comrades who sacrificed their lives and blood for it! Before you get carried away by the blood and war, you must realize that once you board Get on the battleship, set up the light cannon, you will bear more than yourself! Think about it for you to escape—yes, escape! Those soldiers who died in battle, can you squander such a thing without any scruples? Come life?! Answer me, can you?!"

Colonel Edgar's heavy questioning resounded throughout the Canon military fortress through the optical transmission device of the fortress command center.Including the soldiers who experienced the last war, as well as those who stayed in the Kanon military fortress and witnessed the whole battle, they all stood up straight, with solemn expressions, without saying a word.

Colonel Edgar scanned the audience. Since he entered the army, he has followed the Sixth Fleet to gallop in the reachable universe since he entered the army. , single-ship command, general commander's staff, until becoming the commander of the Sixth Fleet, standing in front of the command platform, experienced a total of more than 130 battles, winning almost every battle.Even in the battle where goodwill was lost, the entire mixed fleet still occupied the planet that resisted tenaciously until the end after paying a heavy price.Even though the planet has become full of scars, the strong and resilient Mars people, after setting foot on the planet, faced the hatred or fear of the natives of the planet, and still strictly followed the military regulations to maintain law and order and develop energy. Establish an economic structure and government organization with Mars characteristics.After the transitional government left office, half of the first democratically elected government were natives of the planet, and the other half were Mars soldiers who voluntarily stayed to occupy the planet.They were more or less wounded in battle and could no longer serve in the army.In the words of the Mars soldiers: "Since we can no longer fly a single-man fighter jet and operate a light cannon, let's do what we can."

Edgar always thought that one day in the future, he would also become one of these soldiers. In the distant future, he would stay on a certain border planet and be an idler working in a government agency. Of course, Baby Shangping It's even better to be with him.

However, after experiencing the battle with the Golden Fleet, Edgar's belief in the first half of his life was slightly shaken.

If it was said that there was never anything wrong with occupying other planets by force before, Edgar could feel the helplessness and indignation of the natives of those occupied planets after changing his role and becoming the weaker side.Although the Marsians have always believed that their occupation brought advancement and civilization—as claimed by some countries in the Earth Age in a certain century—this is Shang Ping’s discussion with Edgar about Mars It was mentioned by accident in the military system, and Edgar just laughed it off at the time.Looking at it now, perhaps Shangping Baby was right.

Mars people, are you a little self-righteous?

Just like the current fleet of the Golden Empire, relying on its strength, it completely surpasses the Muse galaxy.

Edgar thought a lot, but he understood that these words could not be said to anyone, not even Hansen, let alone the fortress commander Terry.That stubborn guy would just court martial him as a heretical radical.

"Oh... baby, uncle misses you so much..."

Edgar left the conference hall and walked to the huge landing screen. Since the Golden Empire Space Fleet occupied Royce, the commander of the Kanon military fortress announced that the entire fortress has entered a first-level martial law, and the lifting period is undetermined.The landing screen in front of Edgar is actually an isolation barrier covering the entire fortress, which can minimize the impact of particle cannons and laser cannons on the fortress.Although it may not be able to block all the shells, it is enough to make some people in the fortress feel relatively safe.The premise is that they have not personally experienced the last battle, and have not seen with their own eyes how terrible the firepower of the Golden Empire Space Fleet is.

"My lord colonel."

A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind Edgar, with a very polite and polite tone.Colonel Edgar turned his head and recognized the young man behind him as the Madoff Military Academy graduate who appeared in Commander Terry's office when he and Hansen retreated from the battlefield in embarrassment.

"You are……"

"Report Colonel, I am Lochte, and I belong to the Eighth Fleet, the second unit of single-man fighters."

"Oh, it's you."

Edgar was not good at remembering people's names, but he had an impression of Lochte. This young man had witnessed the most embarrassing scene in his 41 years of life, and he had to be impressive.

"Did you have something to say to me? Or thought my previous speech was inappropriate?"

"No, Colonel, on the contrary, I fully agree with you."

"Oh?"

"I believe you will not forget the simulated battle between the students of the Madoff Military Academy and the Eighth Fleet's single-man fighter unit. I am also one of them. After going through that battle, I deeply understand a truth. Facing the absolute Enemies who are stronger than themselves, relying on irrational and passionate blood, will not work at all."

Lochte's expression was serious, and his speech was calm, but with a persuasive force, Colonel Edgar believed his words.

"So, I don't think it is a shameful thing to accumulate strength and moderately show weakness before you have the strength to contend with the enemy."

"Young man, are you interested in joining the Sixth Fleet?"

Colonel Edgar smiled, but Lochte shook his head.

"Thank you for your appreciation, but the officer has no such plan at present."

From "I" to "lower official", obviously, Lochte has consciously stopped this topic, and Colonel Edgar does not intend to continue to embarrass him.It was rare for him to appreciate this young man, even though his performance was a bit bad in the last simulated battle.However, this appreciation only lasted until Lochte said another thing.

"Master Colonel, in fact, before I came to Kanon Military Fortress, I confessed to my sweetheart. Because of this, I need to be more strict with myself. Only when I meet again in the future will I be eligible to send him a gift." A bouquet of bright red roses."

"Sweetheart?"

Colonel Edgar clasped Lochte's shoulders carelessly, "Can you reveal it?"

Lochte didn't mean to hide it, and he didn't think it was necessary to hide it, but soon, he would regret his frankness.

"Black-haired boy? He participated in the last simulated battle and performed very well?"

"Yes. He has flowing black hair and charming black eyes. Although he is not tall, he is very masculine! After the last simulated battle, many graduate students fell in love with him, but, I took the opportunity to speak on behalf of all graduate students to express my love..."

The young boy talked about his love incessantly, without noticing Colonel Edgar's already blue face and complicated eyes.

Well, he's said that Babe is old enough to find a lover, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the guy chasing Babe!

Colonel Edgar looked at Lochte in front of him, and had to admit that he was in a very complicated mood, and he couldn't tell what it was like, but he could clearly realize that he really wanted to give the young man in front of him a treat. punched him, knocked out some of his front teeth, and made him shut his mouth.

Kanon Fortress Commander Terry sat in front of a large desk. Staff Crete had returned from Hercules, and at the same time brought back the order of Commander-in-Chief David South and the authorization document of Chief Consul Martin.Both powerful figures also gave Commander Terry the authority to act in his own right if necessary.

"What exactly does that mean?"

Commander Terry frowned. On the one hand, he wanted to suppress the belligerence, and on the other hand, he authorized him to act in his own right?

How can this be explained?

Crete obviously also had a headache for this order.He believes that this order is inseparable from Liu Xi, the president of the Republic of Seth who is staying in Hercules, the capital of Mars, at the moment.

The young president is personable, handsome, smart and good at dancing.He is not like a politician, but more like a performer. At least through his hard work during this period, more than half of the Mars media have been full of goodwill to his reports, and public opinion has gradually turned to Mars and Seth working together to catch up with him. Get closer to the alien galactic enemies entrenched in Royce's artificial celestial body.

"It's a really puzzling thing."

Commander Terry and his staff member Crete looked at each other. The Canon military fortress could also receive news reports from Mars. Commander Terry did not comment on the president from the Republic of Seth. Colonel Hansen never said anything. Like this kind of political figure, Colonel Edgar described Liu Xi as a friend with fangs.

"This friend's fangs are currently hidden very well. When he needs Mars' help, he will not reveal the sharp fangs. Accepting him temporarily may not be a bad thing."

It's a pity that Colonel Edgar's remarks were just a private conversation with Colonel Hansen. His laziness made him never think of writing this point of view into a report and submitting it to the military headquarters, which made Commander Terry very upset. It hurts, but I can't find any reason to blame him.

According to Colonel Edgar's words, he is a soldier, a fleet commander, and there is no need to waste time on things that government think tanks and staff need to do.

"Before things become clear, at least until Mars has not decided whether to cooperate with Seth, I hope to maintain the current situation, provided that the fleet in Royce's celestial body does not make some moves."

Commander Terry’s worries were not without reason. Not long ago, the Royce artificial celestial body occupied by the space fleet of the Golden Empire did undergo some changes. A small group of black warships left the artificial celestial body and passed through the subspace outside the celestial body. The jumping particle left the celestial body. After Commander Terry got the news, he immediately summoned Colonel Hansen and Colonel Edgar. The people of Seth and Mars knew that Royce and Canon, who were guarding the space channel, and the Asians outside the celestial body The space-jumping particle, apart from leading to the currently occupied colonial planet, the only place it can reach is the Muse galaxy!

As long as the correct coordinates and distances are mastered, the Golden Empire Space Fleet can even directly enter the Muse Galaxy without disturbing the patrol fleet stationed outside the Muse Galaxy!

Hopefully the folks at Seth are smart enough to take steps.At least when Commander Terry sent the news back to the capital, the report sent back by the capital indicated that after the Royce artificial celestial body was occupied, Mars had already managed to close the subspace jumping particle connecting Royce and Mars .

However, Commander Terry ignored another planet, or rather, he never thought that the Golden Empire Space Fleet would have anything to do with that planet.

This is not a big mistake, but it has endless consequences.
