Chapter 410: The Darkest Hour (Fuse)
"Our battle at Zhiyuan has completely entered the ...... No, a complete rout! ”
At a high-level meeting of the United Earth Council, council members are arguing over the rout of the Reach.
"Someone must take responsibility for the rout that caused the rout of Zhiyuanxing! Some people have to take the blame and resign! ”
Rick Ruth shouted with an unhappy expression.
A group of conservative parliamentarians have turned their eyes to it, Rusi's words did not arouse everyone's echo and response, in the case of the further deterioration of the war on Zhiyuanxing, these high-level parliamentarians are not paying attention to the changes in the internal political pattern at this time, because the defeat of Zhiyuanxing has made them feel a serious crisis.
What's worse is that the 58th Task Force, which was originally responsible for support, was also defeated by the attack of the Zhiyuan Star Aboriginal Force at this time.
The huge consequences of a great defeat on Zhiyuan began to make the United Council of Earth helpless, and these self-proclaimed beings and leaders of the most elite of mankind also put themselves in a dilemma because of a simple conquest at this time.
"Task Force 58 has been sent to the Dunkel Planetary Belt, where they are constructing a temporary Planetary Strip defense line to block further enemy attacks on Reach, and if we can't make a decision accordingly, we'll wait to see those damn xenos cross the Dunkel Planetary Belt, step on the wreckage of Task Force 58, and pass through the storm asteroid circle and into our interior!"
Chairman Claudeberg couldn't care about the partisan political struggle within the council at this time, and a series of consequences of Zhiyuanxing's defeat had gradually fermented, and the Zhiyuanxing alien race was wrapped in the momentum of Zhiyuanxing's great victory and launched a counterattack in the direction of the earth.
The expeditionary force originally used for the Battle of Zhiyuan Star suffered heavy casualties, and the 58 Task Force Forbidden Army fleet and other expeditionary force units that supported it later were also pressed back to the Dunkel area by the Zhiyuan Star alien race, and the alien soldiers pointed directly at the earth!
"We can continue to support the fight!" Mans von Mantefeld said.
Chairman Claudeberg's eyes when he looked at Mance Von at this time were no longer as they used to be, full of yin and yang weirdness and suspicion, Chairman Claudeberg may be a good hand at playing political balance, but in the face of a major crisis that may involve the extinction of mankind, his vacillation has become one of the most fatal factors in internal unity.
Mance Feng froze and said, "We still have a large number of troops in other star sectors!" Earth's fleet is spread to all corners of the universe. Andromeda Zone, Centaur Zone...... We still have dozens of sectors to mobilize! ”
"But it's too slow to get them back!" Halifax said: "What's more, the governors of those star districts are a group of old guys, and when the young people don't fully grasp the affairs over there, these old guys can't move at will!" ”
"Hell! Our young people are growing up too slowly! The old guys can't afford to wait, we need more fresh blood to replenish our high-level decision-making circles! ”
Lin Dedian said with annoyance.
"What's the use of talking about that now? Think about what we should do! Rick Ruth banged his hand on the table, looking very manic.
"Perhaps, we have one more person to mobilize."
While there was an endless argument within the council, an old man wearing the uniform of the marshal of the UED Forbidden Army walked in from outside the door of the council room.
Everyone saw the face of His Excellency the marshal, and they couldn't help but stand up with a look of surprise and respect.
"Your Excellency Field Marshal Clausewitz!"
Chairman Claudeberg greeted softly.
The field marshal of the UED Forbidden Army, who was called Clausewitz, walked steadily from the gate to the round table of the conference.
"What? The war is tight outside, and you still have time to quarrel here? ”
Clausewitz's words made everyone present bow their heads and remain silent.
"Your Excellency, the war is tight now, and we have reached a point where we are at a loss." The Minister of Defense of the UED Human Army said: "I have to admit that the defeat of Zhiyuan Star was beyond our expectations, under the repeated attacks of the Zhiyuan Star alien race, even the 58 Special Mixed Forbidden Army Fleet is constantly retreating, and if it continues like this, the consequences are unimaginable......
Clausewitz looked at the star map at the round table, which indicated the star sector between the solar system and the Reach, where Task Force 58 organized the remnants of the United Earth Council and held out in the Dunkel Belt.
"Are there any other sectors with extra troops?"
"No ......"
Clausewitz narrowed his eyes, and his cloudy eyes seemed to radiate a fine light at this time, piercing Chairman Clauderberg: "There's another army, isn't it?" ”
"Your Excellency? Which troop is it? ”
Everyone at the top of the council was confused.
"Koplu Star District, Lin Yidong's Sixth Expeditionary Fleet."
As soon as Clausewitz's words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.
"Your Excellency! It's useless! At this time, the Great War in the Koplu Star Region was also opened, Lin Yidong and his troops were blocked by the creatures of the Void Universe who suddenly arrived to block the way back to Earth, at this moment, he was leading the human forces in the Koplu Star Zone, and was fighting against the enemies of the Void Universe! ”
"And." Rick Ruth said: "Admiral Lin Yidong, he is suspected of treason, and he must be investigated by the Supreme Court of the Council. ”
"So you're just going to let a young leader wander around like that? Even if the homeland suffers the blow of possible destruction, do not transfer him back? ”
Everyone was confused: "Your Excellency Marshal, even if Admiral Lin Yidong has outstanding combat achievements, he is only a young human army general after all, and compared with the governors of those star regions, he doesn't even have any outstanding achievements, nor does he have the prestige of those governors......"
"That's because the old governors aren't presentable." Clausewitz sarcastically said: "We should let the young Zhuang into the higher power system, if we only care about the power and interests in the hands of us old men, then we will never see the young people of the future grow all the way!" We need to give young people enough training and confidence! Instead of letting them, after taking over the baton in our hands, they will destroy the entire human society because of sudden events! Thousands of years of human history have proven these things countless times, and we should learn a lesson! ”
The crowd was silent.
"In my capacity as the Earth United Council, the Human Federation, the Earth Federation Empire, and the Marshal of the Praetorian Guard, I order all the high-level members of the Earth United Council!"
Seeing that everyone was still very resistant, Clausewitz had to sacrifice a huge killing weapon belonging to his identity.
"The United Earth Council takes your orders!"
"Fate, immediately tell Lin Yidong about the predicament on this side of the earth...... Governor! At the same time, in the name of the United Earth Council, Lin Yidong was ordered to solve the war in the Koplu Star Zone as soon as possible, and lead the troops to return to Earth to participate in the defense war! ”
Rick Ruth hung his head very unwillingly, however, in his heart, another plan was quietly born.
At the same time as the battle in Lin Yidong's Koplu Star Zone was going on, the darkest moment on Earth, which belongs to the human beings of the Earth since the establishment of the Earth United Council, quietly kicked off.
