"Captain, the enemy is only 200,000 kilometers away from us."

On the patrol ship Hummingbird 3, which belongs to the Border Patrol of the Imperial Space Force, radar officer Chen Fengliang reported loudly.

"Keep probing."

Donnie Yen, the captain of the Hummingbird No. 3 patrol ship, said with some anxiety, turned around and asked Liang Xiaochen, the communications officer next to him, "How is it, have you contacted the headquarters?" ”

Liang Xiaochen pressed the intelligence send button again, and immediately, a signal was finally connected to the Imperial Space Force Command. "Captain, I've contacted the headquarters."

Donnie Yen walked two steps quickly to the communication position, and saw a female soldier displayed on the 3D video, who was the signal soldier of the headquarters.

"I am ......"

"We have found an anomalous spaceship, the preliminary detection analysis is a G-type scientific research ship, as far as I know, there is no such research ship in the empire at present, please verify."

Donnie Yen didn't wait for the beautiful female soldier to finish speaking, and passed through the data, and the female soldier also saw the research ship with a strange shape.

"Please wait, I'll report to my superiors right away."

The female soldier also knew that the matter was urgent, and sent this information to the intelligence analysis center of the headquarters with one click, and then reported it to the superior urgently at the same time.

Just a few minutes later, a command duty lieutenant appeared on a 3D video.

"Hummingbird 3, we have just confirmed that the research ship you found is a G-type standard scientific research ship, and our empire does not currently have such a spaceship.

You've provided significant information, what's the latest situation? ”

Lieutenant Tian Gaoyue said solemnly.

Entering the interior of the Lost Star Domain without the permission of the Empire means an invasion.

"Lieutenant, although our patrol ship has just made an acceleration, the distance between the enemy and us is still only 230,000 kilometers, and if we maintain such a distance, we will be caught up by the enemy in 3 hours."

Donnie Yen's brows furrowed, as a patrol ship, the Border Patrol Bureau had also sent him the information about the nearby space five hours ago, within 5 million kilometers of them, there was not a single Imperial spaceship, not even a mining ship.

This is already an extremely remote location within the Lost Star Field, almost in the exact opposite direction to the Trident Galaxy.

Hummingbird 3 also came to patrol this starry sky once every 1 month, but I didn't expect to encounter such an emergency.

If there were no reinforcements, relying on that little fire on the patrol ship, it would definitely be sunk.

Although the other party is only a scientific research ship, after all, it was designed with emergencies in mind, and its firepower is stronger than that of patrol ships, and its protection is much more prominent, and even its speed is faster.

Donnie Yen is also afraid of death, and more importantly, he doesn't want to be destroyed by a scientific research ship like this.

So he has been ordering the spacecraft to search the nearby starry sky, and once he finds the starry sky with complex terrain, he can directly drill into it, at least to hide and seek with the enemy.

The lieutenant also knows the current predicament, and if he can't escape, can he watch them be sunk?

At this moment, a high-level authorized communication came in, and the lieutenant hurriedly stood up and saluted when he saw this, "Major! ”

It turned out that it was not yet time for work on Earth, and the person who came was a major, who was actually the senior officer on duty at the headquarters, Major Tang Weifeng.

Although Tang Weifeng was not born as an officer and soldier of a battleship and belonged to a civilian official, he still had the decisiveness of a soldier, "Hummingbird No. 3, I specifically asked my superiors for instructions just now, although we are already actively seeking ways to rescue you, it is likely that it will be too late to rescue."

So, on behalf of the Space Force Command, I formally inform you that if the situation is critical, you can surrender to the enemy.

Our large, long-range radar has locked on you and the research ship, and will be able to rescue you as quickly as possible. ”

After Tang Weifeng finished speaking, he saluted, and he also knew that as an emperor, letting them surrender might be a more difficult thing than letting them go to the battlefield as cannon fodder to send them to death.

Sure enough, Donnie Yen, who was still a little worried and a little afraid of death, changed his expression greatly when he heard this, and then said firmly, "Major Tang, I will continue to order the search for a reliable hiding area." If the time comes, I will let my men decide for themselves, I will not interfere with their surrender, but I will certainly not surrender.

If I die in battle, I only hope that there is a tomb for me in the Martyrs' Shrine. ”

Subsequently, Donnie Yen personally went to work with the radar officer to carefully search the nearby star field, and once the complex small chaotic star belt was found, the patrol ship could hide in it at any time.

Usually, patrol ships will have a large number of records about such complex starry sky, but it just so happens that there are no old records in the vicinity, so you can only try your luck to see.

And the research ship of the Principality of Rank, which was tracking them, saw that a dilapidated patrol ship of the other party actually dared to run, and the leader of the expedition, Su Lai, was even more angry and ordered that he must catch up and capture him, and then obtain first-hand information about this starry sky through it.

...... "From this dynamic distribution map of warships, we can see that at present, none of our warships can rush to the aid of this patrol ship within half a month. ”

In the operational conference room of the Space Force Command located in the royal office area of Hanjing Mountain, Sun Xiwu, commander-in-chief of the Space Force, Qin Baijiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Space Force, and Dai Anlan, commander-in-chief of the interstellar ground forces, were all there.

Qin Baijiang stood in front of a 3D dynamic map and said, on this picture the size of a wall, dozens of light points were flashing.

Some points of light stop moving, which means that they are stationary warships, and some points of light move slowly, which means that warships or fleets are sailing.

In a remote corner of the dynamic distribution map of the battleship, there is a red point of light that is beating rapidly, and it is the Hummingbird 3 that is in crisis.

Sun Xiwu frowned, Emperor [***] Fang's belief is to love soldiers like sons, and will never easily abandon any team. This conviction, which has been upheld and implemented since the chairman's time as head of the militia group, has now encountered serious challenges.

Hummingbird 3 is too far away, and the nearest battleship will take more than 1 month to arrive, if Hummingbird 3 can't find a chaotic star belt to hide in and circle with the enemy, then it can only watch it be destroyed.

"Our patrol ship is inferior to the enemy's research ship in terms of tonnage, firepower, and speed. Judging from its latest report, Hummingbird 3 has used its reserve power to make an emergency acceleration, and it will slowly catch up in the next few days. ”

Sun Xiwu sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that there is no space jump gate there, otherwise all the problems will be solved." ”

At present, the empire has only one set of space jump gates, which are located in the Trident galaxy, one of the exits of the Lost Star Field, which is not only a military powerhouse, but also adjacent to the Avatar-Changqing double galaxy.

In peacetime, the space gate would be opened every few days for merchant ships and military warships to pass through, and the original voyage of one or two months would be less than an hour enough.

In wartime, the space jump door can be opened at any time for the military fleet to jump.

The place where Hummingbird 3 happened was so remote that there wasn't even a military outpost, let alone a space jump gate.

Dai Anlan was silent, but a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Lao Dai, if you have something to say, just say it, in terms of qualifications, you are older than both of us."

Sun Xiwu saw that Dai Anlan had something to say, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing this, Dai Anlan thought about it and said, "There is a way, do you still remember, our empire has a warship that can make a free jump." ”

"Zhonghua!!"

Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang said in unison.

Yes, the Zhonghua can indeed make a free jump, and that was when it jumped back to Earth from the Trident Galaxy, and His Majesty personally ordered a demonstration.

Although the fact that the China could jump freely was later classified as highly confidential, many people were also unaware of it from beginning to end, and only a few high-level officials knew that His Majesty had turned on the free jump function of the China Phone, instead of taking the preset space door as later legendary.

Dai Anlan: "It is certain that the Zhonghua can make a free jump, and this time the Hummingbird 3 encountered the enemy's situation, and the commander has already embraced the heart of death.

At such times, we do not need to make decisions for Your Majesty, but it is necessary to report to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide for himself. ”

Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang nodded with some self-reproach.

It's not that the two of them didn't think of the Zhonghua, but that the Zhonghua is now His Majesty's ship, that is, the imperial royal flagship.

In their habitual thinking, a patrol ship with only a dozen people, if His Majesty were to use his royal flagship to rescue him, it seemed a bit of a transgression.

But what Dai Anlan said is even more right, human life is bigger than the sky, not to mention that His Majesty himself has emphasized many times that he cannot easily give up a single soldier.

Although it is inconvenient for himself and others to admonish, they can report the matter, and according to the understanding of several people about Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely order a rescue.

"Hehe, you don't have to blame yourself, if you change any dynasty, it's not easy for courtiers to bring up such a thing. However, our empire is an exception.

Since both of you say that I am the oldest and the oldest, let me say it. ”

Dai Anlan smiled, in fact, there was not much of a deal, Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang were not the kind of commanders who did not treat officers and soldiers as human beings, but this time the matter was more special.

The two of them are naturally grateful, Dai Anlan's weight is indeed heavier than the two of them, although Sun Xiwu is the commander of the space battleship force, but his qualifications are slightly insufficient, and the only time he has a big battle with the Longshan military is that His Majesty participated in the command.

Dai Anlan did not delay, and directly connected to the one-person communication with His Majesty Zhang Shusheng.

After Zhang Shusheng got the report, he was checking the relevant situation, and was about to ask the Space Force Command about the rescue plan, but he didn't expect Dai Anlan's communication to come in.

On the 3D call, Dai Anlan briefly talked about the situation.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is like this, except for the use of your flagship Zhonghua, none of our warships, even patrol ships, can reach the rescue site within a month."

Dai Anlan first introduced the rescue and defense plan prepared by the headquarters, including that Sun Xiwu and others were formulating emergency reinforcement and defense plans.

However, those are all in a month's time, and now it is time to solve the urgent need.

Zhang Shusheng thought for a while and said, "The Zhonghua is under the command of Qin Baijiang personally, and it will jump to the target star field as quickly as possible.

In addition, we must pay attention to this invasion by foreign enemies. The strength of the enemy and the enemy is unknown, and the Zhonghua will go to the rescue first, and it is also appropriate to investigate the situation.

Then get the First Squadron ready to go. ”

As for sending the Zhonghua to rescue a small patrol ship, Zhang Shusheng never thought about it.

When a person dies, faith is broken, and it is more terrible than anything else.

The Zhonghua made a move, but it was only a little energy lost, and this was a better actual combat mission than any emergency exercise.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Dai Anlan was very happy, the Hummingbird No. 3 patrol ship does not need to hold out for one month, it only needs to hold on for two hours. When the time comes, as soon as the Zhonghua arrives, any G-type and F-type scientific research ships will be scared to death.
