Chapter 256: The General's Decision

The super battery of the lunar base is the last force to resist, when all the orbital batteries are destroyed, the last super electromagnetic cannon of the lunar base is still being fired, but unfortunately without the cooperation of other batteries, the electromagnetic cannon carrying huge kinetic energy can only pose a certain threat to the Gaia spacecraft protection and cannot form an effective strike.

"Sir!"

The command, due to the paralysis of the main systems, the Earth Space Fleet has been unable to organize an effective attack, and from the beginning of the battle it has been fighting on its own. When the personnel of the command clearly saw the flames in the sky above the earth's low earth orbit in space, everyone's hearts were extremely heavy.

One bad news after another came, and when one of the super batteries at the moon base was destroyed by the fleet of the Gaia civilization, and the other super batteries still persisted in the counterattack of the other side, Mike. Everyone below General Carson knew in their hearts that the resistance of the earthlings had failed.

The adjutant's voice made Mike. General Carson pulled back to reality from his trance, and in less than ten minutes, the old general seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, looking like an old man with an old dragon clock, and no longer the general who had just inspired morale, high morale, and fought a hundred battles.

Glancing up at the adjutant, the adjutant said to him, "The commanders of the various detachments have sent a message asking for an attack. ”

"Sortie?" Mike. General Carson smiled bitterly and shook his head, the Earth Space Fleet still has some military strength, that is, the fleet essence that he deliberately retained. At first, Mike. General Carson intended to use them as a surprise force, but who would have thought that the paralysis of the command system would turn the tide of the battle in the opposite side. In just ten minutes of fighting, all the orbital batteries he relied on were destroyed, and even the super batteries at the moon base could not stop the Gaians' attack. What's the use of sending this force out again at such a time? The result is almost the same as hitting a stone with an egg, and instead of that, it is better to let them get out of the battlefield as much as possible and become the Earth Space Fleet. Reserve a bit of strength for humanity.

"Pass my orders!" Mike. General Carson muttered for a moment: "Let General Ivan command all the remaining ships to leave the Earth battlefield immediately!" ”

"Sir!?" The adjutant was stunned, although he knew that the remaining fleets at this time could not change the current outcome at all, but the question was what if those ships were separated from the earth battlefield? The earth is the home of the people of the earth, and where else can humans go without the earth? This order was simple for him to convey, but the problem was General Ivan. Will the commanders, including the remaining ships, agree to do this?

"Let them go to Pluto,"

"Pluto?" The adjutant asked puzzled.

Mike. General Carson grinned reluctantly, "Yes, Pluto. Pass this order directly to General Ivan, and he will understand how, and as for what will happen when they arrive on Pluto, I think they will understand by then. ”

"Sir, do you mean ......?" As Mike. General Carson's lieutenant knew some of the situation, and he had heard about the Pluto alien civilization base, but he was only scratching the surface. But. Can be used as Mike. General Carson's adjutant was definitely a smart man, and although the general only hinted vaguely, the adjutant instantly thought of a possibility, and immediately opened his mouth in surprise.

"Go ahead, it'll be too late if it's too late." Mike. General Carson commanded in a low voice, and the adjutant answered, hurriedly conveying the order.

The order was quickly conveyed to the fleet waiting in space on the other side of the planet through the laser communication device that Guò could still use, and Ivan was equally silent when he received the order. Soon he took over the command of the fleet with full authority as ordered. The remaining warships of the Earth Space Fleet began to fly away from the battlefield under the cover of Earth and the lunar base that continued to fight, ten minutes later. As the remnants of the fleet accelerated to its top speed and departed into the depths of space, the last super turret at the moon base finally turned into a dazzling fire under the attack of the Gaia civilization.

"It's over!" Although this outcome had been predicted for a long time, when the last super turret was destroyed, everyone in the moon base was extremely sad in their hearts. It is clear that the Sphere Space Fleet has been completely destroyed, as an external resistance to the civilization of Earth. They're done.

"Pass my orders!" At this time, Mike. General Carson stood up, picked up his military hat and put it on, then straightened his uniform as all eyes turned to him. The veteran general said in a difficult tone: "I order...... Signal the other side to surrender....... ”

"Surrender! Checkmate! ”

"Sir, you say we surrender?"

Some of the young officers looked at the beloved general with incredible stares, and they could not have imagined that the word "surrender" could actually come out of his mouth.

"The Earth Space Fleet has no strength to fight back, children, your lives are precious, and survival is hope. Surrender children, each of you is a warrior, a warrior who fought to the last moment, surrender is not a humiliation for a warrior, not to mention that this is just our surrender, maybe one day in the future ....... "Speaking of which, Mike. General Carson let out a long sigh, and there was silence all around.

"The general is right, everyone has done their best, and the surrender of the warriors is not a humiliation." A major general of the staff said: "Continuing to fight can only be sacrificed in vain, not to mention that we have no strength to fight again." Everyone should know that our mission has been completed, and everyone should continue to live bravely, our surrender does not mean the end of the war, and everyone should not forget that we still have an army on Earth, and the invasion of the Gaians will not succeed! ”

These words made everyone continue to be silent, but everyone's expressions gradually calmed down from the initial anger, incomprehension, and confusion. General Carson's good intentions were clear to all, but many were still unable to convince themselves when faced with surrender.

"That's it, Jack, you take over next, I'm tired, I want to go and take a break." Mike. General Carson addressed the Major General, then refused to be supported and left the headquarters with a difficult stride under the gaze of everyone.

The Moon Base is a massive base, and Mike. After General Carson walked out of the headquarters, the two soldiers guarding the door saluted him, and the old general saluted back, and then walked out of the corridor, and then the elevator door in front of him opened, and his lonely back entered the elevator, and as the elevator door slowly closed, the figure disappeared in the eyes of the soldiers.

A few minutes later, Mike. General Carson came to his office, sat down at his desk, and reached for a photograph of his family, his wife whom he had loved all his life, his two sons, and several grandchildren....... In the photo, the family is smiling as happily, with a brilliant sky and a green forest in the background, which was taken before he became the chief of the General Staff of the Earth Space Fleet, and such peaceful and quiet days may be gone forever, thinking of the old general, he sighed, put down the photo and opened the drawer, in which a delicate pistol was revealed.

Pick up the gun, turn the muzzle upside down, Mike. Without hesitation, General Carson shoved the muzzle of his gun into his mouth, and then tightened the trigger ....... (To be continued......)

PS: Happy weekend everyone!
