Chapter 139: The Day the Fleet Returns to Earth (Part I)

"Dear viewers and friends, hello everyone, this is the news program of UEN China Central Radio and Television, UEN news broadcast. Today's main content is ......"

The capital of the Great Wall Governor's Palace, the main star of Tarantor, the capital of the gods, and the official residence of the Supreme Administrator.

At this time, Nobuko was in her own courtyard of the official residence, took off her uniform, changed into a decent dressing gown, and walked in the corridor of the lounge, on the dining table in the lounge, the attendant had prepared a sumptuous and nutritious dinner for the secretary general of the Joint Council of Chief Secretaries of the National Assembly of the Governor's Palace, and on the CCTV screen of the lounge was the daily program of UEN Central Radio and Television, which was broadcasting news.

After the sumptuous dinner enjoyed by His Excellency Nobuko, UEN's news program was coming to an end, and the attendants carefully carried out their daily simple but frequent service and cleaning work.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier Knightley is here."

Nobuko motioned for the attendant to take Knightley to the lounge hall, and she changed to sit on the reception sofa, the beautiful secretary general put her legs on reasonably, and her refreshing short hair began to become a little longer after a long period of battle, Nobuko put her short hair slightly tied up and put a small braid behind her head, and she looked like a young girl who was still in puberty in a delicate nightgown at this time, which was unimaginable, it was such a woman who looked like a girl on the outside, It turned out to be one of the few female commanders in the UED army who was decisive in killing.

"Dear Chief Nobuko, after a few years, you still look like a high school girl!"

As soon as Knightley entered the hall, he grinned and joked with Nobuko.

"I think you seem to have itchy skin again, what? In the past few years since you went back to Earth, have you forgotten how good I am? ”

Nobuko unceremoniously got into a verbal fight with Knightlian, and after a few moments of unnutritious conversation, the two began to get to the point.

"What happened to you on Earth?"

Speaking of being on Earth, Knightley sighed.

"We came back to Earth as losers."

Four or five years ago, the sixth expeditionary fleet of the UED Expeditionary Fleet transferred from the Koplu Star Zone to the space-time channel of the Blacksis Star Field, and set off for its distant hometown, Earth.

After a long journey that lasted for several months, they finally entered the solar system and returned to Earth by space jump.

When the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet returned to Earth, there were no "Welcome Home" banners, no honor guards lined up in columns, and no official or unofficial personnel who came to welcome them.

Knightlian returned to Pearl Harbor with the remnants of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and only a few senior officers of the UED Human Army came to deal with their return report with frosty faces.

Subsequently, the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet rested at Pearl Harbor.

In the past few years, the remaining officers and men of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet have been granted leave permission to go home to visit their families, and Knightley can feel very intuitively that when the notice of the vacation permission is sent to the public frequency of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, these good boys who have escaped death from the Koplu Star Zone can't hold back their feelings, and hug each other and cry everywhere on the ship.

The news of the return of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet only slowly spread a few days after the Expeditionary Fleet returned to Earth, and then the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet poured in not condolences to the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, but overwhelming doubts.

First of all, the families of many officers and men, after the return of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, they received the death notices issued by the personnel department of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and at that moment, hundreds of thousands of families, including the families of Admiral Gerard Dugar and Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov, fell into discoloration.

Helena Dugar, the wife of Admiral Dugar, could no longer maintain her standing position and collapsed in front of her own children when Knightlian stood at a press conference announcing the tragic news of the death of the two Supreme Commanders of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet. Along with Mrs. Dugar, there were also the wives of General Stukov, the children of General Rovino, and the families of those who died under the claws of the alien insects so that the remnants of the Alexander fleet could escape back to the Great Wall.

The press conference became chaotic because of this sudden situation, and at the same time, many media also surrounded Knightlian and the others like scavenging vultures, and the topic of the media was not how much you achieved or how much effort you put in, but.

Why do you have the face to come back to Earth alive?

Even your own supreme commander was killed on the battlefield, what is the significance of your expedition?

Compared to the results of other UED fleets that have been expanding smoothly in other sectors, why did the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet fight like this?

The disillusioned people, the grieving family members, the angry superiors, all kinds of emotions were mixed with the officers and men of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and what the officers and men of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet got was not the relaxation after the bloody battle, the comfort after the loss of comrades-in-arms, and the understanding after the blood was spilled.

It is a sense of extreme loss and isolation that comes from the human beings themselves on Earth, who have high expectations of themselves.

"Lin Yidong Mantefield? Could it be that your Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was beaten by some small characters in that remote Koplu Star District, and even a commander-in-chief of the highest fleet at the rank of general could not be taken out to take control and command? ”

The reporters' questioning was like a biting cold wind, shattering the relief of the officers and men of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet to return to Earth.

The people on Earth had no idea what the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet had encountered in the Koplu Star Zone, and they didn't want to know about it.

People only hope that, as human beings, they can have the strength and courage to constantly win various victories in the outside world, and that the universe should belong to the territory of human beings. The side effects of great humanism began to emerge gradually.

Thus, the officers and men of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet were alienated from their own compatriots, and in the eyes of the people of the earth, they were just a rabble of inaction.

In addition, there was even a demand in public opinion for the revocation of the number of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and along with public opinion, this call has a tendency to slide into an uncontrollable situation.

And at this critical juncture, the appearance of two women gave the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet a chance to return to the Koplu Star Zone again for a revenge battle.

Nobuko touched her chin and asked uncertainly, "Is it Lin Yidong's mother, Lin Wuze and General Dugar's wife, Helena Dugal?" ”

"Well, it's them, they're two great women."

Knightlian smiled and thanked the attendant who had just poured him a cup of coffee: "Although Madame Dugar has lost her dear husband and her children to their esteemed father in this war, it seems that Madame Dugar has found something again, judging from the suicide note of General Dugar who returned to the Dragon at the last moment. At a time when the terrible rebellion of public opinion became more and more uncontrollable, she, as the leader of the families of the victims, bravely stood up and called for everyone to have faith in the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet. ”

"At that time, the situation in the military tribunal of the Council was very unfavorable to our Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and a group of fanatical humanist radicals formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they clamored that the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was a group of defeated armies that did not deserve the name of the UED Expeditionary Fleet, and that it should be cancelled and sent to the distant Sagittarius Nebula to garrison the frontier, and even many people in the Council, including Chairman Wang Jintian, were shaken."
