616 Source of the Decisive Battle XVI

But Joseph's reaction was unexpected.

I saw Joseph take off his military hat and military insignia without saying a word, and he said to the black envoy with a complicated face: "Your Excellency, I can't force my soldiers to die." They are not afraid of death, or rather, there is not a coward among us who is afraid of death. But we want the death to be worthwhile, not to die hopelessly. ”

"Your Excellency, do you know what a full-fledged flagship force is? Thirty Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts, twenty Archon-class aircraft carriers, and twelve Apostle-class combat support ships. This fleet should not be lost in such a skirmish at all. They should have gone to the defense of the capital afterwards, not here. ”

"So what? Joseph, did you still choose to refuse? You brought it on yourself! The black envoy said with a sinister smile as he looked at Joseph.

"No, Your Excellency, I have not refused your order." Joseph said.

"Huh? So what do you mean by that? Don't refuse, don't execute? What's the difference between a negative attitude and a rejection?! The black envoy asked.

Joseph put his military cap, military insignia, gun, command knife and ID on the table, and he smiled slyly and said to the black envoy: "Your Excellency, I, Joseph Wilcottus Hathaway, feel that I am not good enough to command the Sixth Fleet of the Free Army. Therefore, I would like to resign here, and the command of the next combat operations of the Sixth Fleet will be entrusted to Your Excellency, Your Excellency, how about you? ”

His meaning is very clear: since you think that I, a commander with a regular academic background, is not good, you insult and kill my subordinates in front of me, and threaten me with my family. So I'm always okay with non-violence and non-cooperation, right? If you think that you, a rookie who has never even attended a regular military academy, can command, then you can go to it yourself! You can do it, I can't afford to hide from the head office, right? With the identity of my Hathaway family, at this special moment when military talent is extremely scarce, Lily Hathaway will not do anything with him anyway. As for you, Mr. Envoy, it's hard to say~~~!

It is clear that the black envoy, while militarily an idiot, is definitely not politically. He immediately figured out the twists and turns, pointed his gun at Joseph angrily and said, "Joseph! Don't think you'll be able to evade sanctions like this! Now I order you as a special envoy to oversee the army, and you give me back to your post to command! ”

"I'm sorry, but I've resigned now. You are the commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Fountain Free Army, Your Excellency the Special Envoy. Joseph turned around with a blank face, and he prepared to wait in the lounge at the back, quietly waiting for the moment when the Imperial Navy would break through the space station.

"Joseph! If you dare to take another step forward, believe it or not, I'll kill you immediately! Don't think that code gate will last long, when the guards arrive, I'm going to throw you all into the camp with your families at once! The black man pointed a gun at Joseph and looked at the Emma man in the command center and roared viciously.

"My lord, the other party's behavior is very strange. Their regular troops left the space station and turned back to the space station, motionless. The same goes for the flagship troops, where they should be at the second hop point of their space station. The combat probes released by our reconnaissance ships have been pinpointed to their flagship and are on their way to jump. Colonel Eldridge reported to Karl with a puzzled expression.

"They're all standing still? Which play is this? Who is the commander opposite? Is there anything that stands out on your resume? Karl asked, confused.

"The commander of the opposing side is Joseph Wilcottes Hathaway, Major General. Former Imperial Navy Source Garrison Fleet, Commander of the B17O-R System Garrison Fleet. After participating in the rebellion, he and his entire garrison fleet were reorganized by the rebels into the Sixth Fleet of the Fountain Free Army. The life experience is average, and there is nothing special about it. Dinigfeld immediately reported all of Joseph's family.

Today, millions of people live on various space stations, spaceships, or other interstellar facilities. The space industry is undergoing exponential development, and the economic system of individual planets has not kept up with the demands of the times, and some semi-independent colonies within the Galent Federation have decided to peg their currency exchange rates to the ISK exchange rate set by the Ministry of Unification. Indeed, space already plays a very important role in today's economy, and few people realized it two hundred years ago, when it was just a playground for a very small number of wealthy people.

The biggest obstacle to the early commercialization of space, and the biggest obstacle to space exploration at present, is the lack of low-cost and reliable space logistics between planets and space facilities. If we want to expand the scope of the planetary economy into space, we must first find ways to transport raw materials and finished products between the planet and space facilities. Many organizations and countries have tried everything from simple transport rockets to absurd oversized railguns, but they have all failed. The reason is simple: none of them have been able to attract investors who are willing to pay for it.

In the end, this problem has not really been solved, and space logistics is still in its infancy. High-orbit shuttles, an airplane that cuts into the atmosphere at a low angle, are still people's favorite means of transportation. Many planets have unique atmospheres, so the shuttles that work on different planets must be tailored to the planet's environment, thus promoting the development of the planet's local industries. However, the space industry has cleverly avoided this shortcoming by creating a sub-economic system in which products are mainly made from raw materials obtained in space and sold to space-based consumers. As a result, the volume of transport between the space station and interplanet is reduced to a minimum compared to large-scale inter-interplanetary transport.

"You don't need to get resources from the ground, because planets can give you too little, and space gives you enough." If a player asks why they can't land on a planet in the space age, the CCP can answer like this. (God bless Project Nova!) )

Space elevators are more often found in the backstory, and you won't be able to find such a building in the actual game, perhaps because the Integration Department removed it from the pilot's neo.
