As soon as Lynch arrived, he was picked up by the people of the Space Fleet, after all, the situation of the Seventh Fleet is not good now, and the sooner Lynch arrives as the new commander, the better it will be for the recovery of the Seventh Fleet. ∈∈Not to mention, Lynch had served in the Seventh Fleet before, and he was no stranger to this fleet, which was also the key to considering Lynch to take over the position of commander.

"You're not going?" Watching Lynch and several high-ranking generals leave, Su Li asked Elke, who was still standing.

"I, the old man, have already retired, and there is no need to meddle in the specific affairs of the fleet." Elk replied flatly, his words sounding natural, but no one could deny Elke's influence on the military. If Lynch's replacement hadn't been for Elk's construction, the Space Fleet wouldn't have decided on a successor so quickly.

Su Li nodded slightly knowingly, and then said, "Then let's go and sit?" ”

"No problem!" Elke seemed to have been waiting for Su Li's words for a long time, and immediately laughed, and then the two walked out of the airport side by side, and went straight to a flying car that had been parked outside for a long time.

Ten minutes later, Su Li and Elk sat face to face in a reception room, which was the private and most secure place for the Space Fleet headquarters.

"What's going on with Gascol? How could such a thing happen to a fleet commander? After sitting down, Su Li asked bluntly, there was no need for so many politeness between her and Elke, not to mention that there were only the two of them now, of course, what was there to ask.

Elk shook his head bitterly, Gasko was an excellent soldier, and he was also Elke's old subordinate from the position of commander of the Seventh Fleet. For this old subordinate, Elk is very aware of Gascoll's character. True, to outsiders, Gascoll's meticulous military toughness style, including his tenacity and sharp character, was regarded as an idol by many middle and lower-ranking officers. However, Elke, as an old superior, is well aware of General Gascol's weakness in character, which is as obvious as his strengths.

Brave and good at fighting, he fought at every station, and was deeply loved by soldiers and middle and junior officers. This is General Gascol's strength, but it is also his weakness, as a soldier, a pure soldier. It's good to have such qualities, of course, but as a fleet commander, this kind of character is in some cases a fatal weakness. And this time the death of General Gascoll was also for this reason, judging from the information they have now, General Gascoll and his flagship had every chance to escape under the circumstances at that time. But in order to cover a damaged battleship to escape first, General Gascoll and his flagship were destroyed by the enemy, thus causing such a tragedy.

Judging by the overall battle damage, the largest losses of the Seventh Fleet were the crash of Commander Gascoll and his flagship, as well as the remaining two medium warships. If it weren't for Gascoll's death, this loss would not have hurt the entire Seventh Fleet as a whole, but now his death has brought serious consequences, and with the death of the commander, the Seventh Fleet has lost its sense of normalcy, grief, self-blame, helplessness, and pain...... These mixed emotions hung like shadows over the officers and men of the Seventh Fleet. If it weren't for the space fleet's next decisive move to transfer the Seventh Fleet directly to the moon base for rest, I'm afraid that the heroic fleet of the Seventh Fleet would have been in chaos now.

Listening to Elke's general description of the original situation, Su Li also frowned, but she was also strange, according to Elke, although the Seventh Fleet brought by Gasko at that time was not a complete fleet, it was also a main sub-fleet with six warships, but in the first battle, more than half of the six battleships were damaged. Among them was the commander of the fleet, Admiral Gascoll, how did this battle fought? Who is the enemy? Why the battleships of the Seventh Fleet were attacked?

"I don't know, we don't know who attacked us yet." To Su Li's surprise, Elk actually said such an answer, what? Still haven't figured out who the enemy is? Now that there is already a war. How is it possible not to know the identity of the other party?

"You'll know when you see it." Elk took out a piece of information and handed it to Su Li, this information was the experience of the sub-ship led by Gascoll when it encountered the enemy, Su Li didn't say much, took the information and looked at it directly, but when she saw it, she was stunned instantly.

The content of the information is not complicated, as Admiral Gascoll led a part of the Seventh Fleet at a distance of 25 light-years from the solar system. There are no cosmic civilizations around this airspace, and Gascol's Seventh Fleet is here for routine patrols and training missions, which is why he is not in the main force of the fleet but only commands a detachment.

The cruise and training mission was carried out according to the plan that was made, and the whole plan went very smoothly from the beginning, according to the plan, if nothing else, the mission would be successfully completed in another week, and then the detachment would join the main fleet, and then the Seventh Fleet as a whole would begin to return to the solar system. But who would have thought that at this time, an accident happened, when Gascol's detachment was on a training mission in the airspace of the asteroid belt, a fleet appeared two light years away from them.

The fleet was not very large, it was made up of three warships, and these three battleships did not look very good, and two of them were scarred on their hulls, as if they had suffered some kind of disaster to lead them to look like this.

When Gascoll found this fleet that suddenly appeared, he also received a message for help from the other party, according to the information, the other party encountered a giant dwarf star that suddenly erupted in the universe during the voyage, and the spaceship was pulled into the explosion range, and their spaceship was damaged in the explosion, hoping to get help from other cosmic civilizations.

In the other party's information, the other party also indicated their identity, the other party claimed to be the Keda civilization, for this Keda civilization, although the earth civilization has not been contacted, but there is information about this civilization in the information database about the cosmic civilization. After verifying the identity of the other party's civilization, Gascoll decided to lend a helping hand to the small fleet that had been damaged by the accident.

The training mission was temporarily terminated, and Gascoll took the remaining five warships to move closer to the other party, and at the same time prepared for rescue, but no one expected that when Gascoll's battleships approached the other party and were ready to carry out the rescue, the three battleships, which were pitiful a moment ago, suddenly launched an offensive formation, and before Gascoll had time to react, they carried out a sneak attack.

At the beginning of the sneak attack, a medium-sized battleship in front of the rescue, which was responsible for rescue work, bore the brunt. was directly hit and disintegrated in the air, and all the officers and men on the battleship were killed before they could even figure out what was going on. Gascoll was so shocked and furious by this sudden change that he immediately ordered the ships to be repositioned, and engaged the other side in a battle. The side's despicable and shameless sneak attack was unheard of, and Gascoll, as the commander of the fleet, decided to retaliate for a tooth and avenge his subordinates.

However, as soon as the battle began, Gascoll felt that something was wrong, the opponent's battleship looked damaged on the surface, but in fact, their battleship was better than his battleship in terms of performance and combat effectiveness. Including his flagship is much more powerful, in just a few rounds of fighting, another medium-sized battleship was destroyed by the opponent, seeing that the opponent is murderous and has the posture of annihilating them in one fell swoop, Gascoll sensed that something was wrong, and decided to retreat in the direction of the main fleet, and then fight with the opponent after the main fleet converged.

In the context of the situation and judgment, all of Gascoll's reactions and decisions were correct, but the problem was when he gave the order to retreat. As the commander of the fleet, Gascoll's personal heroism led him to disregard his own safety and break off the rear alone to cover the evacuation of his subordinates, which led to tragedy.

Perhaps, in Gascoll's opinion, his flagship in this detachment is the most defended and powerful battleship, and coupled with Skoll's personality, he made this decision as a matter of course. It's a pity that Gascoll misjudged the shape of the battlefield. It is even more wrong to underestimate the attack power of the opponent's battleship. Although his other three warships escaped, because of his decision to break off, his flagship only lasted about ten minutes under the combined attack of the other party, and finally the ship was destroyed.

After reading the information on the Seventh Fleet's engagement with the opposing side and the death of Gascol. Su Li didn't speak for a long time, her expression was full of anger, but also with doubt and surprise.

"The other party claimed to be the Keda civilization, but we investigated afterwards and ruled out the suspicion of the Keda civilization. Until now, we have not figured out what the cosmic civilization did to the Seventh Fleet and Gascol in such a poisonous way, and what they did to be disgraceful. It can even be said that the despicable and shameless methods are even more appalling. Elk said this, and as he said this, the old marshal's tone was calm, but his fists were clenched tightly, revealing the incomparable anger in his heart.

"How do you judge inside the space fleet?" Su Li asked.

"It has been suggested that this may be part of the fugitives from the disintegrated Gaia civilization, and only the Gaian civilization, which has a deep hatred for our Earth civilization, would do such a thing," Elk said. You must know that when the plan against the Gaia civilization was carried out at the beginning, we still have no guarantee that a part of the military power of the Gaia civilization will be temporarily lurking in the universe, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate. Speaking of this, Elk shook his head again and said: "However, there are also people who propose that this is not very likely, the characteristics of the battleships of the Gaia civilization are very obvious to us, the other party's warships are completely different from the warships of the Gaia civilization in terms of appearance, of course, the other party can make adjustments in appearance, this is not absolute, but there is a little puzzling, because we are very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Gaia civilization warships, and from the data, the combat effectiveness of the three warships is extremely strong, far beyond the Gaia civilization, Including the scientific and technological process of our earth civilization, according to the assessment, the civilization strength of the other party has reached the level of intermediate civilization. ”

"Even higher!" Su Li emphasized, and then said in Elke's stunned gaze: "They are definitely not the warships of the Gaia civilization, this can be ruled out. Maybe...... I know who they are. ”

"What! Do you know where the other person came from? Hearing this, Elk could no longer sit still, and he stood up at once, looking extremely excited.

Indeed, Elk couldn't help but be excited, when the news reached the solar system after the accident between the Seventh Fleet and Admiral Gascol, the entire space fleet, including the top brass of the Earth Federation, was shocked. After the end of the war with the Gaia civilization, the earth civilization ushered in a long period of peace, and now, its own fleet was actually attacked by the enemy in the universe with such despicable means, and even caused the death of the commander of a main fleet.

How could such news not be shocking? What's more, until now, everyone has not figured out the identity of the other party, and after the fact, the space fleet gathered the two main fleets to search back and forth in the airspace where Gascoll was killed, but the results of the search are frustrating, the other party has long disappeared, where did these enemies go, why did they target the earth civilization like this, this is all a puzzling mystery, in order to ensure the safety of the solar system, now the entire solar system has raised the defense level to the highest, The Space Fleet and the Defense Committee are also ready for battle.

"Actually, I don't know the origin of the other party, but the style of the other party's warships, including the way they plotted against the Seventh Fleet, made me think of a possibility." Su Li's eyes were full of memories as she said that, and when Elk was a little puzzled and about to ask, Su Li asked him if he remembered the incident when they went to contact the Blue Star Civilization when the Earth Federation was established.

"Of course I know this, Director Su and Teacher Luo left like this back then, and you are also a party to it, junior sister! Didn't you end up in the Andromeda galaxy by accident? By the time you return, more than 100 years have passed on Earth...... When Su Li mentioned this, Elke suddenly nodded and said, how could he forget about it? This is not only the most important event in the history of earth civilization, but also the beginning of his and his teacher Luo Yan who have been separated for so many years!

Su Li nodded, Elk was right, but what Elk didn't know was that on the way to the Blue Star civilization, they had encountered a ghost spaceship, this ghost spaceship floating in the universe was the spaceship of the Nimunle civilization, and the reason why this spaceship existed in that airspace was because they had suffered a dastardly attack and were destroyed in the process of escaping, and everyone on the ship, including the captain, died, leaving only the body of the spaceship drifting in the universe.

Su Li clearly remembered that the other party that attacked the spaceship of the Nimunle civilization was extremely similar to the three warships that attacked the Seventh Fleet and killed Admiral Gascol. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
