Chapter 283: Ambition

Small clusters of light beads typically come from the dark void.

This is a small group of mostly shuttles.

In Harding's words: "Shoot them down and the world will be quiet." ”

It's a pity that as a member of the Space Force, although we have broken with the military department, we are still a national defense force subordinate to the solar system, and there are some things that cannot be surpassed even if we dislike them, otherwise it will affect the legitimacy of the fleet's existence.

Seeing this scene from the Wanwang, Verelli sighed, and Maxim shook his head helplessly.

"Can't you think of the good? Perhaps we have saved a group of conscientious politicians. ”

In the face of my question, the two thinkers, as well as Jasmine and others on the other end of the communication, couldn't help but smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Am I being naΓ―ve? ”

"No, you are a happy person to believe that there is still beauty in this world, or that there is still a holy place in the realm where all the ugliness gathers."

I was depressed for a while, and it would be nice to say that I was too young and too simple.

After the assembled remnants of the fleet stayed at the Earth-Moon Lagrange L1 point for two hours, a new mission was assigned.

Because its contents were so shocking that it almost caused a mutiny in the fleet, it is estimated that our fleet of remnants would have fallen apart if it had not been for the reappearance of the highly prestigious Admiral Kramer, who had dispelled the idea that the headquarters had been hijacked.

The proclamation directive demanded that all intact Cosmos battleships escort away the high-speed battleships carrying the Coalition government's dignitaries.

The remaining fleet, led by the flagship Yunshan, assumed the responsibility after the break.

"Bastards, the big guys just run away, and it's us soldiers who have to face death every time!"

The words of the intelligence non-commissioned officer who angrily smashed the console represented the voice of all the soldiers left behind.

Eventually, the noise subsided after General Kramer's haggard but dignified countenance appeared.

"I know a lot of people are very angry, almost to the point of picking up guns. In fact, I was just as angry, I lost the good situation in vain, lost more than half of my comrades-in-arms, and as a result, I had to continue to work hard and sacrifice for others. Is such a sacrifice really worth it? Let me tell you that these sacrifices are necessary and are the duty and mission of our military personnel under the democratic system. We're not protecting a person or a group, we're protecting an elected leader, a leader that we've all voted unanimously. Protecting them is also protecting our own beliefs. I don't ask everyone to sacrifice for the sake of the system, I just beg everyone to stand this last shift, and then I will lead everyone out of this hellish place with all my ability. I solemnly promise here that as long as I can complete the post-break mission alive, I will not leave anyone behind and take everyone away. ”

There were no cheers from the officers and soldiers, and the rustling in the communication loop meant an embarrassing cold scene. However, the voices of dissent were much reduced, and the officers and men began to seriously prepare for the coming fierce battle.

With the departure of more than half of the artificial light spots, the remaining fleet looked scattered and pitiful.

"Can you finally give it a go without worries? Let's let the robot heads see the backbone of our space army here! ”

Realizing that I could finally stop thinking about taking sides and embrace a pure battle, I felt like I was eager to try.

In my mind, maybe the people behind me are much more dangerous than the enemies in front of me.

"There won't be a big war!"

"What did you say?"

For Verelli's sudden interjection, even Maxim, who usually played against him in chess, showed a surprised look.

"There won't be any big fights, I know General Kramer, he's a guy who prefers to speak for himself with his actions. Since he has exhausted his mouth today, his purpose is definitely not to sacrifice for the sake of the big shots. Actually, don't you think it's strange? Why wasn't the Unscathed Kings sent to escort the bigwigs? The battleships and cruisers that seem to be in good condition, although there are many of them, they are all slow and relatively old ship types! Do you have any idea of any of the meritorious ships to be escorted? Have you noticed that before departure, a large number of supplies were transferred from the transport ship in the name of ammunition? Since we are a fleet that is going to die, what are we going to do with supplies? ”

As Verelli listed them one by one, the questions that could not be ignored made me look for them carefully and think about the questions he raised.

That's right, it's so perverse. These seemingly inconspicuous small problems, gathered together, indicate a strategy, a plan.

"You're saying we're the ones we're kept?"

Maxim rarely spoke in such a tone of surprise. Generally speaking, although he is not as resourceful as Wei Leili, he is not much worse, and Wei Leili's strange plan, he at least and will feel it in advance of the others.

But this time, his expression could only show that General Kramer's strategy was something he had never expected.

"It's normal that you can't guess that, because you don't know Camille. Kramer the man. He's a hypocrite at all, and he won't be one of those foolish and loyal people. For the sake of victory, this man is able to sacrifice everyone. ”

Looking at Verelli's look of disgust, I understood that he meant something. Perhaps the tragedy of Edlaide was the cause of General Kramer.

……

……

After the regrouping, the fleet did not stay where it was, as Verelli expected, but made a short jump from the Earth-Moon Lagrange L1 to L2, and then bypassed the ruined lunar fortress and entered the high orbit of the moon, and then the fleet accelerated out of the comfort of the moon's gravity and entered the orbit of the moon itself.

At this point, the officers and men of the fleet have realized that we are by no means in the rear, and we have no intention of looking for a decisive battle in which the unmanned fleet is not capable of doing its best.

Such a complicated voyage is obviously used to shake off the possible tracking and make us disappear from everyone's sight.

After a silent voyage of eight hours, we came to the side of the moon with its back to the earth, and the fleet lay down.

Just when everyone was speculating about the intentions of the command, the detachment received an order.

Ask us to attack immediately, go to the ruins of the Moon Fortress to receive the Martian refugees in hibernation, and then join another fleet to go to Earth.

Only now did I understand that General Kramer's strategy was to use the politicians of the coalition government as bait to divert the idea of an unmanned fleet and evacuate the resources of the Earth's sphere.

I don't know how many people and how many resources I can take away in the end, but I just look at the 50-kilometer-class Thresher class transport ships that set off with us, there are as many as five, which shows his appetite.

As Verelli said, I don't think Kramer's move is mainly to save the people, but if I can rescue more people in the occupied area, and maybe find Teresa and others who have lost their news, I will definitely be on his side.

Looking at the mighty group of transport ships behind the Wanwang, I realized that this mission was not easy, even if we wanted to save more people, we had to cooperate with the unmanned fleet.

With such a large number of ships, what would the mechanical heads have to fail to ignore us? As for the mission I shouldered, as well as the difficulties of my approaching age, I began to suffer from gains and losses after a long time on the battlefield.

"Don't be too nervous, the rescue, or rather the looting fleet, will definitely not be the only one. As Kramer always did, he was ready to lose most of his looting fleet. ”

Wei Lei used the most spicy comments to describe his father's plan. And I only care about his prefix for a fleet like ours.

"Why the looting fleet?"

"You still don't understand his ambitions! He has no intention of saving suffering, he is taking advantage of the fire, he wants to take all the wealth and resources left on the earth in order to realize his ambitions. ”
