Lynch's fleet is temporarily stationed near Space City on the periphery of the Pluto base, this is a fleet of 23 warships and 11 cruisers plus various supply and maintenance ships, in terms of scale, it already belongs to the main sub-fleet, and its commander is the former commander of the Oort Nebula 7 forward base, and now represents the fleet commander Rear Admiral Lynch, who is now represented by "X".

This fleet has just been formed, and the personnel are basically drawn from the fleets, bases and defense committees, Lynch was granted the right to command this fleet by the Earth Federation, and their mission is not to defend the solar system, nor is it the Gaia civilization system that has ended the war and is recovering, but to go to the Andromeda galaxy to carry out support missions.

Seeing that those young officers learned that the direction of the fleet was the Andromeda Galaxy, their expressions were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and even some officers were still talking to each other in private, chatting about some "rumors" of the Andromeda Galaxy, etc., Lynch couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

On the surface, the task of the fleet is only to support the Andromeda galaxy and provide military support for the defense of the Andromeda galaxy, but in fact, in the entire fleet, there are not many people who know the danger of this mission, in addition to the commander Lynch, there are several senior officers, and the junior officers, including ordinary soldiers, only briefly describe the situation of the mission, and tell them that the alliance composed of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization in the Andromeda galaxy has been attacked by the civilization of the extragalactic galaxy and is in a state of war.

As a commander, Lynch knows very well that in a state of war, it is very important to maintain the morale of officers and men, and if a fleet spreads fear and panic up and down when it goes out on an expedition, then the war will already be lost without fighting.

But Lynch also knows how formidable the opponent they are facing this time around. After the events of the Gaia civilization were almost settled, due to Lynch's excellent fleet command ability and rich base defense experience, he was urgently transferred to the front line of the Andromeda galaxy to participate in the second defensive battle between the Andromeda galaxy and the members of the unknown civilization.

In this defensive battle. Lynch witnessed the fierceness of the battle, the other party's incredible ability made the warships of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization destroyed one after another in space, and the two civilizations took the high-power weapon counterattack later, and the other party did not please it, it can be said that on the surface, the two sides of this war have suffered losses from each other, and it seems to be a draw, but from the overall comparison, the losses of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization are extremely large.

Lynch was lucky that his ship was not damaged in this battle. However, his comrades suffered heavy casualties in the battle. What could be more cruel than a soldier whose familiar faces were no longer visible after the battle, and whose bodies could not even be recovered?

Although the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization were defeated, it also exposed the gap in the combat power between the cosmic civilization of the galaxy and this unknown civilization. In terms of personnel comparison, the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization can almost crush each other, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the other party is only a rudimentary spaceship. In other words, the combat effectiveness of a single person can compete with several of their main warships.

After the war, Lynch even believed that the other side would be stronger. If there are more personnel, let alone a miserable victory, it is unknown whether they will be able to go back alive. As for the defensive circle, it will definitely be broken through by the other party, once the artificial wormhole is occupied, not to mention that everyone in the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy will never be able to return to the galaxy, and even the other party can directly kill the galaxy through the artificial wormhole.

The situation is extremely serious. The Shuanghuan Company, including the high-level of the Earth Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization, has taken emergency measures, on the one hand, to mobilize forces to support the Andromeda Galaxy, and on the other hand, to evacuate ordinary personnel in the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy one after another, and more importantly. The top management has made a final plan, and if it is a last resort, even if it is a last resort, even if it is necessary to destroy the artificial wormhole.

Whether it is the high-level of the Earth civilization or the Blue Star civilization, it is very clear that the basis of human beings and Blue Star people is in the Milky Way, and it is on the Earth and Blue Star. Once the war in the Andromeda galaxy is lost and the artificial wormhole is occupied, the other party will be able to come to the galaxy through the artificial wormhole, which will be a disaster for the two civilizations, and even all the cosmic civilizations.

Although there are many cosmic civilizations in the galaxy, and the power of intermediate and advanced cosmic civilizations is also extremely strong, the earth civilization and the blue star civilization do not doubt that when the advanced cosmic civilization makes a move, it will be able to suppress or even eliminate the unknown civilization of this Andromeda galaxy, but at that time, will the earth and the blue star still exist? If all your homes are lost, what's the point of the future?

Although the Andromeda galaxy is important, its home is even more important. This is the consensus reached by the high-level leaders of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization. Of course, this is a reluctant option for the final solution, and they would not have done it if it were not for the most urgent situation.

Lynch's return to the solar system this time is to shoulder the task of organizing the X fleet to support the Andromeda galaxy, and the entire fleet only took a few months from its establishment to the completion of the organization, which is already fast enough for the earth civilization. Moreover, judging from the personnel and the situation of the warships, Lynch was still relatively satisfied, but he was not sure whether the command of this fleet would be able to resist the opponent's attack again.

"It's really not good, and it's only a lose-lose situation." Lynch said to himself in his heart, the use of high-powered weapons in that battle was like this, several warships almost killed each other in the same way, this tragic scene remains in Lynch's mind to this day, he suddenly remembered an old movie, an old movie that his grandfather once showed him.

It was when Lynch was a teenager, and at that time, Lynch did not follow his family's arrangement to go to college to become a scientist or teacher like his ancestors. Lynch's wish since childhood was to become a soldier, a soldier in a military uniform, this is his ideal, but also his career, for which he still applied for military school.

When he knew about this, his grandfather Lin Huai had a long talk with Lin Qi, although he regretted that his grandson chose the path of being a soldier, but Lin Huai still supported him to realize his dream. But that day, Lin Huai showed Lynch an old movie, which was an extremely precious copy. It was preserved after experiencing the two wars when the earth civilization entered the cosmic civilization, and it is not a three-dimensional image, it is a movie of the industrial civilization era before the cosmic civilization, that is, the later stage of the primitive civilization.

The graphics of the movie are terrible, and although they have been optimized, they are simply terrible from the perspective of Lynch, who is used to realistic three-dimensional images. And the voice is also distorted, which sounds uncomfortable. The content of the film is very ancient, and it is about the naval battles of a Chinese dynasty on earth at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a dynasty in China, in the late stage of primitive civilization.

This old movie called the First Sino-Japanese War was unimpressed by Lynch at first, if it wasn't for his grandfather Lin Huai sitting beside him, he might have seen it a few times and got up and left. The way the people inside dressed and the way they fought were unimaginable in his modern age, and he couldn't imagine how such backwardness and ignorance could happen.

But as the plot of the movie unfolded, Lynch gradually watched it, from the initial disdain to the later feeling a little interesting, and then slowly fell into ....... When the movie is halfway through. Lynch had forgotten his previous disdain and plan for these backward things, and followed the plot and characters intently without blinking his eyes. And when the movie reached its climax, that is, when the naval battle began, Lynch's whole person was excited, he looked at the screen intently, his hands clenched tightly, and he hoped for the victory of the Qing Beiyang Naval Division.

Unfortunately, the truth is brutal. The Beiyang Naval Division, which is known as the first navy in Asia, has strong ships and sharp guns. But for various reasons, he lost in this magnificent naval battle. When he saw that the sailors of the Beiyang Naval Division were still unable to defeat the opponent due to the shells, and the captain of the battleship still gave the order to sink the enemy ship, and all the officers and men of the ship regarded death as if they were at home and advanced towards the enemy ship, Lynch's fingers turned white.

In the end, the battleship was torpedoed. Sinking into the sea, the naval battle ended with the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division. At this moment, Lynch's heart was in pain, and his face was covered with tears.

The movie is over, and the tragic and euphemistic music sounds. Lynch still sat motionless, for the first time in his heart he felt a feeling that he had never felt before, and Lin Huai, who was beside him, didn't say anything, just patted Lynch on the shoulder, got up and left the screening room.

Afterwards, Lynch understood his grandfather Lin Huai's intentions, and also understood why Lin Huai would show him this movie. Although Lin Huai didn't say anything, let alone tell Lynch anything, everything he wanted to say was already in this movie, and Lynch also felt it deeply.

Soldiers represent not only force, but also responsibility and will, and their duty to defend the homeland and the country. When a soldier is confronted with a more powerful enemy, what is needed is not to retreat, let alone to escape, but to rise head-on, with blood and courage to protect everything he should protect. Only in this way is a real soldier.

In the battle of the Andromeda Galaxy, Lynch's colleagues were like this, they used their bodies and sacrifices to protect other warships, protect the security of the entire defense line, protect the artificial wormhole and the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the space city, and even the safety of their homes on the other side of the galaxy. When Lynch saw one of his subordinates with whom he had a very good relationship, he piloted his warship to attack the other party in a way that ended up together, Lynch's mind flashed to the last scene of the movie at the same time.

A soldier is like that, this is a real soldier, Lynch is proud of his comrades, and he is proud of his civilization. If he is required to do this, then he will not hesitate to face the enemy and face everything.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lynch's mouth, no matter how powerful the other party is, he will not be afraid or evade, because this is his responsibility and his obligation as a soldier.

"Commander!"

"Say!"

A voice interrupted Lynch's thoughts, and Lynch turned his head to see a lieutenant staff officer reporting to him.

"The last replenishment of the whole ship arrived ten minutes ago, and the chief of staff asked if the fleet was ready to set sail on time?"

Lynch looked at the time, there was still an hour before the scheduled time to set sail on time, he nodded and said, "Tell the Chief of Staff that the departure time of the X fleet remains unchanged, and inform the whole ship to prepare for sailing." ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant's staff officer saluted neatly, then turned and left, and soon the whole ship gave the order to prepare to set sail, and with the order, the officers and men began to get busy.

Lynch sat at the command headquarters on the bridge, and as the commander of the fleet, the specific sailing work was mainly handled by the chief of staff and the captains of the ships, and he was thinking about the command of the operation after arriving in the Andromeda system. And now, Lynch is also reminiscing about the war he experienced at the beginning, and thinking about how to deal with each other in the future.

Lynch has been thinking about this question for a long time, in fact, Lynch has been pondering it since the end of that battle, but there is always no good way. The opponent's ability is too strange, and the strength is too strong, the battleship's proud defensive shield has no defense ability at all in the opponent's attack state, and the opponent's flying shuttle also gives their battleship a good strike power, which is what puzzles Lynch the most.

Lynch thought that there was only one feasible way now, that is, to use high-power weapons as close to the opponent's melee as possible in the previous battle, but the price paid for this method was too great, as a qualified commander, Lynch did not want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary, because his subordinates, even an ordinary soldier was precious, not to mention a hundred for one, even if it was one for one, Lynch didn't want to do this.

But what if you don't? Lynch was distressed, he still couldn't think of a better way, and couldn't help but curse his mother.

"Commander, there's an emergency communication." Just when Lynch was a little helpless, the adjutant said on the side.

"Emergency communications? Where did it come from? "There are only 18 minutes left before the fleet sets sail," Lynch asked curiously.

"Coming from Earth, Commander, the level of communication is very high, the level is ...... S。 The adjutant deliberately reminded.

Lynch was stunned for a moment, the level representative S's communication is the highest, which is almost equivalent to the level of the president of the federal government, the commander of the space fleet and the general staff, is there something unexpected? Lynch didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly left his post to the side of the secret room, and after standing up, he first straightened up his military appearance, and then connected the communication, (to be continued.) )
