Chapter 281 & 282: Self-Destruction of the Great Wall (1 & 2)
Two hours after the plain broadcast order was given, there was mass chaos in the fleet. At various defense nodes, countless starships began to deviate from their normal battle sequence.
"This is a problem."
Maxim's words speak to my heart. From just now, Wei Leili didn't speak fiercely, staring at the chaotic situation on the electronic sand table in a daze.
As a last resort, I ordered the whole ship to enter a combat state, and the interstellar infantry were at the first level of combat readiness, but they didn't know what to do.
The battlefield was timed for 18 hours and 30 minutes, and a large number of light clusters appeared in the unexpected direction. Through the sweaty efforts of the intelligence non-commissioned officers and communications non-commissioned officers, it was confirmed that this was a 'friendly' ship group.
"Humph! Friendly forces, this is the friendly forces that have ruined the victory of the entire battle. ”
Verelli shook off the words and left the bridge.
I asked the guards to follow him to prevent the young man from doing something stupid.
"Sir, now is the time to take sides."
Maxim turned on the masking stance again. He spoke to me in a very solemn tone, as if he had never been so formal in the face of a large number of enemy ships.
"What do you mean? As an officer of the Space Force, I led a detachment to fight, and I was already able to explain my position? ”
"No, you need to show your actions that you are biased towards General Kramer or loyal to the military department."
"Does that make a difference?"
"It's completely different, I believe that any later, the generals who have not left their positions will be characterized as traitors to the solar system, and will be attacked and executed."
I looked back at the serious Maxim in surprise to make sure he wasn't joking.
"What are you talking about, to clean up the interior, right on this battlefield? Didn't they think that Mrs. Wall's fleet was eyeing the side? ”
"This is normal, for the coalition government, or for some people within the coalition government, the fleet under the command of General Kramer is the real enemy."
I stared at him for a long time, my mind shifting between thoughts, and I couldn't sort it out for a while.
"Sir, now is a critical juncture, not only the future of you and me, but also the future of the officers and soldiers is also in your showdown."
Maxim has always been kind and good at patting horses, and it is rare that I have been forced to do so much. I realized that there were issues in this matter that I did not understand, and that it was a political time to race against time.
"What if I don't want to be drawn into the strife?"
My brain is a little messy, and I can only rely on the advice of the general in front of me. I don't know why, I subconsciously avoided asking Wei Leili directly about strategy.
"Hand over Verelli and get the detachment off the battlefield."
"No way!"
Although I was mentally prepared, when I heard him say this, I rejected Maxim's suggestion at the first time. It's not that I refuse to leave the battlefield, but I will never surrender Verelli.
"He didn't commit a crime, he's been with us since the Battle of Mars, and he's innocent."
"Sir, this is not a fair trial, nor is it a place to talk about evidence!"
Maxim's tone already revealed his mood. I noticed that he wasn't checking the location of the friendly ships on the electronic sandbox.
"Those, it's the government's law enforcement fleet, aren't they?"
“...... Sir, please think again, breaking with the same country is no joke. ”
Maxim's face was cloudy for a while, but he sighed and advised me not to be impulsive.
"What will happen to you? If I choose to follow General Kramer, where will you go? ”
Faced with my gaze, Maxim did not avoid the gaze as I had imagined, but shrugged his shoulders helplessly at me.
"What else can I do? As a general, if I am forced to get involved, I can only advance and retreat with you, and it is impossible for me to break away from the army alone......"
Facing a bitter Maxim, I nodded, "That's great, I don't have to be your enemy again." I would never abandon my comrades, never! ”
In the face of my resolute expression, Maxim straightened his expression, "In that case, then please give the order to attack immediately!" ”
"Attack?!"
"Yes, since your position has been decided, there is no need to wait for the law enforcement fleet to be launched, and strike first."
Looking at Maxim's resolute and hideous expression, I finally had a clear understanding of the present form. It was Maxim, the guy who was accustomed to being a little muddy, and his change made me realize that now is the time to decide life and death in politics.
"Let Verelli go back to the bridge and say I have something to look for him. The whole ship was ready for battle, and the rapid artillery array of the Wanwang was activated. Since we're going to be ruthless, let these guys know our determination. Communications non-commissioned officer, contact the escort ship group, and if you can't get in touch, send a shuttle to let everyone return. ”
A series of orders went down, and the bridge was immediately busy.
Maxim was also a resolute man, and I saw that I had made up my mind not to exhort, but to experience things that would be successful. I'm still satisfied that I was able to save him, although this person is two-faced and has no discipline, but in matters related to his vital interests, he can burst out with abilities far beyond ordinary standards. All I want to do is make sure that his interests are in line with mine.
"Sir, you're looking for me."
Verelli walked up to me in full suit. There was an element of doubt in his expression, and I realized after a little thought that he was ready to be arrested.
"Now is not the time to think about anything else, I am going to attack this group of ships of unknown origin in front of me, please assist me with Maxim."
"Sir! I thought ......"
"Don't think it's too much, it's urgent, I need to win. Get to work right away. ”
"Yes, sir!"
......
......
The battlefield is timed for 19 hours, ignoring a huge law enforcement fleet of cruisers, destroyers, and various combat boats. The Kings rushed headlong into the 'friendly force' that was confronting the core ship group of the flagship.
"The cannon door is fully open, don't worry about anything else, give me a hard shot!"
Countless swords of light flew out around the King's body, piercing the weakly defended combat boats around it, stabbing the high-speed but almost unarmored destroyers, and making the cruisers dodge at a loss. Under the attack of the Wanwang, the formation of the law enforcement ship group was disordered, the small ships ran out of the formation, and the large ships were imprisoned by their own ships and could only become live targets.
As the attack began, other warships of the main fleet joined the ranks of the battle. The battlefield was clocked for 19 hours and 30 minutes, and the number of starships that joined the battle one after another exceeded the number of law enforcement ships. Starships that are invincible, aiming their guns at their own people, are being slaughtered by the 'lawless' generals who should be trembling under their guns.
I don't regret my choice. Since the beginning of the war, not only has the coalition government not helped much, but the politicians have always appeared in front of me with ugly faces. I have long since dismissed them as my own people, but as my most dangerous enemies.
If I want to sacrifice Wei Leili in order to please them, there is really no door.
At 19 hours and 45 minutes on the battlefield, the flagship Yuanshan sent a radio message.
Broadcast communication: "The rebel general Kramer has been sentenced to the law, and the unwitting starship generals are asked to contact the armament immediately, wait for internal affairs and board the ship for inspection." ”
I felt the gaze of the soldiers on the bridge looking at me, and under their gaze, although I had a clear conscience, there was an invisible pressure that made people feel breathless.
"They destroyed the Great Wall, and we don't need to die with them. Communications non-commissioned officer, how is the liaison with the frigate group? ”
"Sir, I thought we should follow the instructions and stop the ship for inspection."
The tall officer, whom I remember, stepped forward, and I remembered as the newly assigned sheriff officer to the ship.
I noticed that his right hand was hidden behind the console at the time of his report, and two bridge guards were moving closer to my position.
The intuitive warnings of the battlefield are constant, and I am afraid that I have wronged people, and the brain domain perception is turned on, and I perceive the bioelectric signals in the brains of several people.
Sure enough, the adrenaline secretion of the three of them increased dramatically, and the brain domains responsible for fighting and attacking constantly sent out micro-electrical pulses that stimulated the attack.
The suspicion in my heart was confirmed, and in a moment my anger exploded. This is the attitude of the coalition government towards the soldiers of the hundred wars. Even if there is no commendation and decoration, even the most basic right to live will be deprived, who they think they are, and who they think I am.
I turned to the sheriff and noticed that his awareness of the attack was rising, the electrical impulse signal from his brain to his right arm was increasing intensively, and the movements of the two guards were detected by Gru.
"Hey, you two can't get close here, get back to your posts."
One of the guards didn't say anything and raised his assault rifle. The muzzle flame flickered, and in the acceleration, Gru's body floated, and the blood-red color gathered around him. Catherine screamed and rushed forward, another guard raised the butt of her rifle and beat her in the chest, and the tall and serious beauty fell backwards, blood red rushing out.
I was dumbfounded by the actions of the two guards, but I did not forget that I was in danger. The laser pointer in his hand was thrown out, and the man crouched down thinking that one of the guards rushed over. In the accelerator, everything is affected by the liquid, which makes it seem slow, which makes it extremely difficult to dodge shots. Before I could move into position, the sheriff had raised his pistol, and I raised the right arm of the machine to block according to his trajectory.
The body stepped back with a shock, and the prosthetic limb caught the first blow of the sheriff.
Damn guys, you would do that to Gru and Catherine, and if there was an order to enforce the law, it should be done to me instead of just going after the two of them.
The guard next to her was the one who had beaten Catherine with the butt of her gun, and she pushed her body away, but it was my flying leg that came straight to me. He subconsciously raised his hand to block, but didn't guard against my elbow.
The elbow strike of the mechanical arm is actually not much lighter than the blow of the butt. The guard's face was sunken and his ears cracked.
Blood quickly gushed red in front of me. By this time the other guard had raised his gun to shoot at me, and the magistrate had adjusted the muzzle position of his gun to give me a second blow. Rao is a very experienced battlefield, and I am also very nervous in the face of this situation. The stimulus of a bioelectric impulse is emitted, directed at the other guard. Watching him be attacked, his face twitched as if he had been electrocuted.
Severe pain in the right shoulder, which was the second shot of the sheriff. I didn't bother to check on my injuries, snatched the assault rifle of the guard next to me, who had become a corpse, and fired at the face of another man who had not yet come to my senses, and in a dull thud, the opposite skull burst open, and the bright red condensed on the upper half of the corpse.
I rolled sideways, and the speed of the roll increased after the machine was hit in the right shoulder. Fortunately, it is a high-performance combat prosthetic that is not afraid of pistol attacks. By this time, the initiative on the scene was in my hands.
Facing the young magistrate again, he had an incredulous look on his face.
The assault rifle fired, and the still handsome face shattered.
Wounded Gru and Catherine, I won't give him a chance to surrender.
"Medic, save people! Zach, the acting ship's sheriff, goes to get all the rats out of the way. ”
Zach hurried away with the others, and then looked in the direction of Gru and Catherine, both of whom were wrapped in their own blood, floating there silently.
I feel so sad that I was not killed by the enemy, but I became like this because of infighting, which is really unjust.
"Sir, please cooperate with my treatment."
"What are you doing here, go and save people!"
"Sir, we have a division of labor, and I am responsible for treating you."
After being reminded by the medical staff, I realized that my right shoulder was not a prosthetic, and at this time, my right hand completely lost sensation, and my side was also red.
Out of the corner of his eye, the military doctor who rushed in first shook his head, and Catherine's body was wrapped in a body bag.
......
......
The battlefield timer has stopped. The battle could no longer be fought, and there were roughly three factions in the fleet: one faction, according to the requirements of the law enforcement fleet, went to the designated area to disarm and wait for inspection, one faction maintained the existing battle line and waited for the situation to become clearer, and the other faction, like my detachment, put up a fierce resistance.
Just when the main fleet was in chaos, the unmanned fleet first disengaged from our front-line combat ships, and then concentrated all its combat forces in the direction where the gap in the fleet was the largest, and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Since the fleet was essentially immobilized by the chaotic orders, and there was no one to respond to the breach, we watched as the good situation developed out of control in a matter of hours.
The unmanned fleet converged into an irresistible force and began to sweep through the vast battlefield area of our resistance. The first to be attacked were the groups of ships that were still trying to hold the line, and when they could no longer hold on and retreated, the unmanned fleet turned to attack the groups of ships that were fighting with the law enforcement fleet. They don't care whether they enforce the law fleet or not, and no matter why we are infighting, under the powerful firepower, everything seems so weak and ridiculous.
Eventually, a small-scale internal conflict turned into a major rout.
The Kings joined the Youth, Kalian, and Reda in the midst of chaos. When the combat ships gathered and turned to the area where the logistics ship group was located, they found that this place had long been patronized by the unmanned fleet, scattered floating life-saving pods, large pieces of spaceship wreckage and countless fragments became the main tone here, the sun's rays were covered by the wreckage cloud, and a large number of logistics materials were scattered in space, becoming a note on the fate of the fleet.
"Sir, news from the Comptroller's Office, the rescue has resulted."
Wei Leili personally came to report to me on the ambulance of the two seriously wounded. Even though I was busy and restless, I stopped what I was doing and turned to Verelli.
“......”
I felt like a prisoner waiting for a verdict, hoping that the answer would not be known, and that the answer would come sooner.
"It's a pity, sir, Catherine that she died."
“......”
If a comrade-in-arms is gone, if there were comrades who died before, I would be angry, and I would tell myself in my heart that I would avenge them, so what about Catherine? She died at the hands of her own people, at the hands of the top brass of the military department, should I face the cosmic army in order to avenge her?
"Plus, Gru got through it. Although he is temporarily unable to fight, there is hope for his recovery. ”
When I learned that the corrected guy would be able to see him one day, I felt the urge to cry. The only news about his comrades was death, death, and sacrifice. I have always heard the bad news, and I finally know that there are still people who can escape, and this feeling of relief, although it cannot be compared with the great grief of losing a comrade, is so important to me, I think I can finally understand the feeling of Karin when she succeeded in treating the wounded, she must have been so moved by my unremitting efforts.
Corresponding Non-Commissioned Officer: "Sir, the flagship Yunshan has called to eliminate the villains who are trying to subvert the Space Fleet, and the Line Fleet is back in the hands of General Green. Admiral Green requested that the remnants of the detachments assemble in the designated universe. For specific assembly coordinates, please refer to the C4 circuit of the tactical computer. ”
Once again, I was the focus of everyone's vision. But this time I didn't hesitate, "Attention all units of the detachment, this fleet immediately turned around and went to the designated area to assemble." ”。
