Chapter 374: The Burning Reach Star
"Urgent military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! ”
Earth, the headquarters of the United Earth Council, the highest brain body of the central government of the Earth Federation Empire, is located in the Octagon in Washington, North America.
That night, a sudden rainstorm swept through Washington, D.C., and the entire city was submerged in a cloud of rain, and the weather was terrible, and the wind carried the torrential rain to the central residence of the United Earth Council.
In the conference room of the Octagon in Washington, almost all the members of the Board of Directors of the United Earth Council gathered in the conference room, each with a serious face and a document in front of them.
Chairman Claudeberg's face was blue, his eyes moving back and forth between the documents on the table and the faces of the people in attendance, and the bad weather outside the window also matched the bleak atmosphere in the conference room.
"Two hours ago, we received an urgent military situation from the Zhiyuan battlefield, the 58th forbidden fleet was hindered in the Zhiyuan battlefield, the outer defensive front of the Dingyuan fortress has all fallen, and the high-altitude orbit of Pingyuan, Zhenyuan and other space station bases and star destroyer fleets have been destroyed......"
The faces of the people in the United Earth Council were very bad.
"On the Zhiyuan battlefield, we have suffered the first huge defeat and setback since the establishment of the United Earth Council, and this defeat is far greater than the loss of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet in the Koplu Star Zone!"
Chairman Claudeberg threw the documents in his hand on the table suddenly, slapped the table and stood up, his hands on the table, his body leaned forward slightly, and he looked directly at everyone with torch-like eyes: "The battle of Zhiyuan, which lasted for more than a year, ended in our defeat, since the Zhiyuan ship crashed on the Zhiyuan star, we launched this attack campaign, which lasted for a year, and we invested almost one-fifth of the council's troops in this small star field, but even so, We still haven't been able to win the Battle of Zhiyuanxing, sad, sad! ”
The representatives of the forbidden army, the expeditionary force, the regular army and other military bigwigs at the conference table showed embarrassed expressions, and even the representatives of the forbidden army, who were invincible on weekdays, could not say anything to refute the chairman at this time.
"In the two-direction battles launched by the Council at the same time, the Battle of Zhiyuan Star has been fought until now, and it is only a matter of time before the Dingyuan Fortress is breached, and we have already suffered millions of officers and soldiers in the Battle of Zhiyuan Star; On the other hand, in the Koplu Star Zone, although at the beginning, the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet reported to the Earth with an almost total loss, but after the replenishment of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet returned to the Koplu Star Zone, the human forces in the Koplu Star Zone were quickly divided and disintegrated and broken, and the solar system and the special shipping lanes in the Koplu Star Zone were established, and the humans in the Koplu Star Zone are regaining their identity as earthlings, and the alien insects and astral spirit forces are also seeking reconciliation with humans. Compared with the Zhiyuan Star, the achievements of the Koplu Star Zone are much bigger! ”
Members of the various conservative factions in attendance broke out in a cold sweat.
Chairman Claudeberg sat back, his chin propped up with his hands, and his voice was still very cold: "Now, what should we do about the Zhiyuan battlefield?" What about the war in the Koplu Star Zone? Get an opinion out! ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't agree.
"I see it that way."
After a while, the representative of the Ministry of Human Defense stood up and spoke: "I suggest that for Zhiyuanxing, we continue to invest troops, but we can't invest in conventional troops, we should send our elite troops to correct our previous rapid attack mode of quick success, transform it into slow encroachment, abandon Dingyuan Fortress, and find a way to turn Zhiyuanxing into a place of death with no signs of life." ”
"Then we need more technical weapons and troops." The representative of the General Staff said: "If we want to achieve an attack on a planet, we will not be able to do any substantial damage to it with ordinary conventional Star Destroyers. ”
"The Liberator fleet can be sent." The person from the Ministry of Defense continued: "The Liberator fleet of the Forbidden Army's 20th Army, which has 59 Magic Modified Star Destroyers and the Death Star in their fleet, can play a certain role in terms of technology. ”
"In that case, the Sea Soul Fleet will also be defended." Chairman Claudeberg spoke: "Ordering the 58th fleet to communicate with the Sea Soul Fleet and the Liberator Fleet that arrived later, and let the three forbidden fleets appear in that star field at the same time, this is not a very good thing, because a small star field, throwing the three fleets in a narrow area, if this matter is said in the future, it will be laughed to death by our juniors." ”
"That's all I can do now." Everyone was also helpless.
"Hey, the Battle of Zhiyuanxing, we are defeated."
Chairman Claudeberg lamented.
"Urgent military intelligence!"
Something unexpected happened again, and after they made the decision to continue to increase troops to Zhiyuanxing, an urgent military intelligence report came back from Zhiyuanxing.
"An hour ago, the Dingyuan Fortress sent the last telegram, and then, the Dingyuan Fortress was flooded by the enemy's sand, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from the direction of the Dingyuan Fortress...... The garrison officers and soldiers of Dingyuan Fortress detonated all the Tsar nuclear bombs in the fortress! Since then, all of our troops on the surface of Zhiyuan have been killed! ”
"What?!"
The entire council was shocked.
"Dingyuan Fortress has fallen?" Chairman Claudeberg's hands trembled, and he asked the communications officer on the big screen in disbelief.
"Yes, all the Tsar nuclear bombs in the Dingyuan Fortress have been detonated, and all the surface of the earth within a radius of several hundred kilometers centered on the Dingyuan Fortress and the area of two hundred meters below the surface have turned into ashes, and from the high-altitude orbit, a huge crater appeared out of thin air."
The communications officer's voice also trembled: "This is what happened an hour ago, and now General Halsey has ordered all the troops in the Zhiyuan Star Domain to retreat to the back of the Maginot Planetary Belt, and our troops have been driven out of the Zhiyuan Star!" ”
There was a dead silence.
Only the sound of the storm roaring outside the window, the faces of everyone present on the council were pale in the face of this unspeakable information.
"We ...... Lost? ”
Chairman Claudeberg has also lost his former calmness, and the defeat of Zhiyuanxing will be regarded as a stain on his tenure, and the participating parties in the human parliament will even impeach him, and at that time, he will have to fall into a scorching internal political strife, and he will have no time to take care of the outside world.
"We ...... Did you really lose? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were thinking about this question at this time.
Chairman Claudeberg slowly closed his eyes: "This is the darkest day for the entire Earth Federation Empire and the entire human world, let us sing a hymn to the heroes for the human heroes on the other side!" ”
The storm in Washington is still going on, but the United Earth Council has quietly held a memorial service for the martyrs, the media has blocked the news, and the ordinary people in the human world do not know at this time that the Battle of Zhiyuan Star has ended temporarily with the defeat of mankind.
Boston.
Lady Helena already knew of the defeat of the United Earth Council in the Battle of Reach, and she immediately sent people to Europe to try to contact the leaders behind the Forbidden Army who were traveling in Western Europe.
"Immediately pass the news to the Lin Yidong government in the Koplu Star District! And let Lin Yidong know about this matter too! This may be a good move by the Mantefield family to reverse the current situation, it depends on whether Lin Yidong's side will deal with it! ”
