Chapter 251 & 252: Cold Heart (1 & 2)

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the venue, and randomly armed fighters stopped the commotion of the crowd. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I casually threw the Speaker's body on the floor like a dead chicken. The deceased's eyes were wide open, his neck was tilted to the side in a strange posture, and he couldn't believe that such a little person as me would dare to kill him.

Looking at the big people sitting around, their images are different, most of them are gray, and a few even squeeze out a smile that is more ugly than crying at me.

"Zhao Ping, do you know what you did?"

Galen's face is more apt to describe it as painful than ugly.

I turned around and smiled at him, stepped forward with a brisk pace, took out the genetic testing device and gently pricked the corpse's neck, and as the green light sounded that the indicators met, I waved for the body to be carried away.

When I looked up again, the room was unusually quiet, and everyone stared at me as if they had seen a plague. When I approached the lady who had been counted down by the yin and yang weirdness before, her sad expression was unbearable to look at.

I walked up to her, "Mrs. Riggs." ”

"Yes.... Yes. ”

She is still trying to maintain the bearing and dignity of a dignitary. But from her pale face, her true state could not be more clear.

"I have been instructed to convey to you the opinion of the captain of the fleet. Because the former Speaker of the House of Representatives committed the unforgivable crime of collaborating with the enemy, he has been punished. Now the Martian authorities need a temporary acting speaker to preside over the overall situation, so I hope you can take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

Mrs. Riggs's face changed several times, and when she looked up at me again, she had returned to her normal state as a political leader.

"Senior Colonel Zhao Ping, that is to say, what you did just now was actually acting on orders, not because of personal reasons."

Seeing this woman's somewhat relapsed appearance, I felt unhappy for a while, but I am not a person easy to kill after all, not to mention that the other party is still a woman.

"As you can see, everything is pre-arranged. The former Speaker collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, which is the main culprit for the Martian Defense Force to suffer so much damage, and it is the unanimous opinion of the fleet to kill this traitor at the first time. ”

I could hear the sound of relief coming from front to back, left and right.

"Huh, good acting skills, Zhao Ping, I only know that you are a good soldier and can fight, but I didn't expect you to have such skills."

Since just now, Major General Galen, who has not bowed my head to me who has been 'obscene' indoors, is the only person I admire in the field. I gestured to him to take a seat, and continued to speak to the big names in the room.

"That scene will be kept on file as an official record. The former speaker did not collaborate with the enemy, nor did he do anything that was outrageous. He was killed by an out-of-control officer, and the Acting Speaker angrily rebuked the out-of-control officer, and she took control of the situation. ”

Mrs. Riggs: "Hehehe, that's an interesting reality. This is General Green's style of doing things, he is really a funny person. Then again, now that the mission is accomplished, the proposal to send us back to Earth ahead of schedule ......"

Me: "No, we have to bring all the survivors with us." ”

The new speaker frowned, "I thought it was all acting just now, it seems that there is something out of place in your personality, Colonel." ”

As the tone of the female speaker changed, the temperature of the scene dropped a lot.

I still had a smile on my face, and the right hand that had been killed just now scratched at the position of the Speaker's neck a few times, and she left and sat down in place with a pale face.

"Hahahaha, I think someone must have gotten something wrong. In the meaning of the fleet, the officer who was out of control was under himself. Since one has been killed out of control, it doesn't make a difference to a few more people, and there are more than one or two people who want to sit in the position of acting speaker. ”

"You ......"

The female speaker is angry and scared, and she is really moving. But at this time, my heart is cold, and I will not be touched by this.

I regained my solemn countenance and walked in front of Major General Galen.

"The rescue operation is a coordinated military operation within the Space Force. My only counterpart here is General Galen. I don't want anyone to interfere in the handover work within our Space Army, otherwise I, an officer who is out of control, may not be out of control for a second or third time. ”

Everyone: "......"

I brushed around and faced the others.

"You are all human beings, and you must have the ability to judge the situation, and I hope you don't have to be confused about the situation at this time. I lost my life, but I can't find it......"

......

After a true and false rhetoric, the big shots collectively lost their voices, and the rescue operation continued to carry out normally.

The Eye of Mars, as the location of the Martian equator, the largest city and fortress, was not devastated by the battle before, and fell directly into the hands of the devils. Due to the strategy adopted by the devils, a large number of refugees have gathered here. As control of the city changed hands and a large number of defenders gathered, it became a sanctuary on Mars for all the survivors.

As a result, the number of survivors gathered here is far greater than previously estimated. There are 2.2 million people waiting to be transported away, plus nearly 300,000 people rescued from the rubble of major cities by previous fleets patrolling the surface of Mars. The number of survivors approached 2.5 million, which was already beyond the carrying capacity of all the ships of the detachment.

According to Maxim's calculations, even if hibernation techniques were used to store these refugees as cargo, the Wanwang, the Youth, and the two Elephant-class transport ships could only carry about 1.1 million people. With the capacity far from sufficient, the rescue mission faces a huge challenge.

Immediate news came from Galen that the Eye of Mars had reached a tipping point in terms of food supplies. The food stockpile, which could have lasted several months with a minimum ration per person, has deteriorated dramatically due to the more than 300,000 refugees we have brought with us, and the Eye of Mars will not be able to sustain the Eye of Mars for another two months if the minimum supply is maintained. There will inevitably be food shortages, and cannibalism among the hungry refugees is estimated to occur within one week.

It's more serious than I thought. The subordinates of the emergency detachment discussed with each other, and they all agreed that although they were risky, they had to evacuate in batches. At this stage when the main fleet is resisting the attack of the mechanical fleet, it is impossible to get them to send the fleet to carry out the evacuation of refugees, and it is only feasible to evacuate some of the refugees to the main force at present, and have the main force of supply ships to take over, and then transport the rest of the people away.

The greatest danger of doing so lies with Mrs. Wall. The Eye of Mars was at the top of their Martian base camp, and once they discovered the unusual movement here, they sent troops to intercept it, and not only the fleet, but also the refugees suffered huge losses.

Sleepless planning and arranging the retreat, whether it was the Mars Defense Force, my detachment, and the local government staff, spent nearly a week in tension and exhaustion.

Finally, when everything was arranged, the first batch of evacuated citizens was 1.75 million, and in order to bring as many people back to the fleet as possible, the Wanwang even dismantled all the broken railguns in order to free up space for nearly 10,000 people.

When it really came to the implementation stage, I, the commander of the detachment, was idle. It will only be handled by two capable people, Wei Leili and Maxim, respectively. Major General Galen of the Mars Defense Force and the local government officials were all brought up in the war, and their abilities were fully exerted in the retreat operation, so that I, the manager who was a halfway monk, felt that my existence was a bit of an obstacle, so I simply delegated power to my subordinates, so that they could give full play to their abilities.

Just one day before the first evacuations, I received an unexpected visitor in the office of the Children of Mars.

Davide, the head and spokesperson of the Children of Mars. Teresa, a hybrid of the solar system and Proxima Centauri, is always a puffy little girl who refuses to admit defeat. Both of them are acquaintances to me, and because of my connections, they, as well as the entire crew of the Children of Mars, were placed among the first to be evacuated. It's my little fake public help, are they here to say thank you?

"I know you're busy, so let's get straight to the point, I hope you can be the protector of the Children of Mars."

Faced with this overly straightforward Davide, I couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

“......”

"Yes, the Children of Mars are about to lose their special status as an independent mining area and monopoly on Mars' energy supply. In fact, this situation has become very obvious after the restoration of the Martian Vision. Galen's gang is even more cunning and stealing, and Mrs. Wall will not appear in time, and the status of the son of Mars is also in jeopardy. “

"It's all your own business, what does it have to do with me as an outsider?"

The faces of the two couldn't help but change.

"That's right, as a rising star in the Martian Defense Force and even the Space Army, it may not be said that you will definitely become the youngest general in the Space Army, and you will also become the youngest marshal in the future, or you can retreat bravely and transfer to politics, which can be described as an unlimited future."

"What does this have to do with your Martian children?"

My tone, attitude, and cold look all conveyed the same message, and I was pretty sure Davide understood and understood what I meant.

“....... This, I would like to say......"

It was very uncomfortable to see that he was still trying to make his last effort. The Martian Sons have some relationship with me, and Davide and Theresa are among the few people I know who are still alive, and I don't want to see them laughing, so I'm going to stand up and see them off.

"Humph! What! Sure enough, it was the villain's ambition. It's a little old, and I don't recognize people. ”

Teresa's temper was due to her violent temper, and at this time her already angry little face turned white, just looking at her nose one by one, and her small breasts rose and fell. This time, I guess I'm really angry.

"Teresa, what are you doing, the colonel is in charge of everything all day long, and it is a big face to see us all day. Who do you show a child's temper? What are we here for? So many people's futures are tied to the colonel, how can they be emotional?! ”

Davide is also very good, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but his ability not to tear his face is really not comparable to ordinary people. I understand what he means, and I understand his hardships, in fact, helping the children of Mars to enter the first batch of retreat is what I can only achieve after my help, otherwise there are so many people on Mars, and the mainstream group can't take care of them, and it won't be their turn to be on the margins.

But I could not respond to them, not for any other reason, but because I could not be among the youngest generals or marshals, because I was a man with no future. My heart and my future will not exist in this universe with Karin gone. So I can't respond to their requests, and how can they expect someone with no future to help the Children of Mars.

Davide was smiling all the time, he didn't listen to me, he forced Teresa to bow her head and admit her mistake, and repeatedly emphasized that the son of Mars was not trying to trouble me, but if I had the chance, it would be a great help to be able to say two words, etc.

Before leaving, Davide also took out the Martian specialty Ice Heart Wine, as well as the Martian time that is said to be the ancestral Martian as a gift. I insisted on not accepting it, and he also took out the posture that I would not leave if I didn't accept it, and I had no choice but to make a gift, so he smiled and left with Teresa.

The angry eyes of the little girl when she left, and the disappointment and pain contained in them, made me unbearable for a while. But since I'm going to implement the following plan, I can't drag them down, and I have to make them uncomfortable for the time being.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, I suddenly felt that it was really not easy for a political leader like Davide, but he was wholeheartedly busy for the son of Mars, and he didn't even want his own dignity, and begged for someone with a hot face and a cold ass.

Could it be that the Children of Mars are really having some difficulties?

I can't take care of too many things, but it's okay to ask Major General Galen to take care of it a little.

.......

Ready for the final handover, watching the flow of people enter the makeshift hibernation in batches, containers of frozen human bodies are transported from the other side to the desert outside the city covered by blood-red sandstorms, in this endless blood, moored the Wanwang, the Youth, and two Giant Elephant-class transport ships, the first 1.7 million people will be transported to the location of the logistics supply ship group in a hibernation state, where they will have to wait for a while to know that the supply ship group from the rear will arrive. Immediately, these ships returned to the rear with transport ships in hibernation, and a coalition government came forward to arrange the final footing of these people.

Watching the batches of containers being carried away, I thought of the children of Mars. They're the last people I've ever met on Mars. It's a shame that they can evacuate safely, but my last wish. Although the future of these people will not be smooth sailing, and the life of a refugee who has been bullied by others may last half a lifetime or more, it is better than on Mars.

Watching them leave, my heart began to retract. Brain perception couldn't help but spread out deep underground.

Although the probability of success is slim, how to do the most damage to Mrs. Wall and make them feel pain is my goal.

While the explosions and tremors were heard, I was studying the location and placement of Madame Wall's base in the headquarters as shown by the electronic sandbox.

"Have you really made up your mind? I think you'll be able to deal a bigger blow to the mech fleet when you return to the fleet. ”

Galen was still persuading. Since that meeting, his relationship with me has become closer. The middle-aged officer didn't actually like these dignitaries either, but his attempts and reason had always suppressed his desire to fight back. He told me that I had accomplished what he had wanted to do for decades.

I didn't expect that at the last moment, I would be able to make such a year-old friend. In a moment of excitement, I told him my plan. Galen began to persuade me to give up. But by this time my heart was dead, and I had no interest in the future, so his persuasion naturally had no effect.

The explosion was as dull as thunder, and the huge tremors could be felt even in the center of the base.

"What's wrong?! Go to the intelligence room. ”

Just as we were about to run to the intelligence room to find out what was going on, the communications officer's angry voice came in.

"Sir, no, a large number of robots have attacked the spaceship mooring, and the control of the two giant elephant ships has changed hands."

"Refugees! These guys are not going for refugees! ”

I immediately realized that by this time the 1.7 million refugees in hibernation had already boarded the ship, and if the robots did something, it would probably cause unimaginable consequences.

"All the marines pay attention, this is the commander Zhao Ping, and ask the personnel on duty to immediately go to the spacecraft docking point to carry out rescue according to the formation. Officers on leave immediately returned to their units, and those who were not on duty went to the designated place to assemble and then rushed to the berth. ”

Following my command, the city of the Eye of Mars sounded with a rallying siren. The mournful sound of the flute is like the roar of a person before death. I didn't bother to say hello to Galen anymore, found the guard squad, and immediately went to the place of the accident as soon as I was armed.

I had a bad feeling that someone else was going to be ahead of me of anyone I knew.
