Chapter Twenty-Seven: Get the Ice Cream First
"Sir!"
Salenkoch's figure appeared inside the devastated battleship, and he couldn't help but frown as he watched the bulkheads splatter blood and various pieces of wreckage.
"What about the casualties?"
"The Poseidon has lost seven hundred and twenty-four people from the captain and above, half of the wounded, the robot security forces have been completely wiped out, 80% of the ship's equipment has been scrapped, if it is to be repaired, it will take about three months, and in addition, the prototype of the weapon we transported has been robbed!"
"Understood, now you are the acting captain of the Poseidon and transfer all the wounded and assets to the Poseidon!"
Sarencooch gritted his teeth, and finally made a difficult decision, "Abandon the ship with all hands!" ”
"Abandon the ship? But the Poseidon can still be repaired when it is pulled back! "Fisher is about to jump, Mars is so rich, an aircraft carrier says don't want it.
"We don't have time! Acting Captain Fischer, General Le Francis mentioned you to me, and he said that you are very capable, then you should also understand what our task is now! ”
"Punishment?"
"yes, this damn battleship has to be dealt with, those damn earth crumbs!" After jumping out of the encirclement of Mars, the Punishment aircraft carrier was like a fish into the sea, turning the logistics of Mars upside down, the methane plant, blown up, the ace pilot, it was done, the destroyer escort formation, extinguished, in less than two days, the Punishment has killed more than 20 Martian ships of various types, hundreds of aircraft, converted into tonnage, that is nearly 1.5 million tons of warships, which is already the total tonnage of six Olympus.
The loss of warships and warplanes was all there was to it, but the loss of the factories that had taken a lot of effort to build on various planets was what made Salenkoch taste the pain of the flesh. There is no shortage of titanium ore for shipbuilding on Mars, but the methane fuel used in warships and some rare elements are collected from other colonies.
"Yes, sir!" Fisher turned off the communications, and then strode towards the second bridge in the middle of the battleship, which suffered no losses because of the armor protection, but the personnel or anything could only be compensated for by the multi-functional C6 robot.
"All personnel, carry out the preparation for abandoning the ship!" The whimpering alarm sounded again, and the backup generator that seemed to have been repaired began to work, and the surviving sailors on the entire battleship were collectively silent for three seconds after hearing the order, and then swarmed to ...... The Poseidon's kitchen, where more than a thousand litres of ice cream and jam are stored.
"Okay, okay, don't grind, keep moving, hurry up!" Standing at the entrance to a telescopic corridor connecting the Mount Olympus, Fisher clutching a large iron basin full of strawberry ice cream in his arms, and every now and then he picked up a large spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, then puffed out his cheeks and gave orders to the busy robots. The other surviving sailors were in much the same position as him, the ammunition stored in the ammunition depot was the first wave of transfers, followed by the food stored in the huge cold storage on the Poseidon, and the third wave was some less important data and supplies.
The transfer was quickly completed thanks to the tireless service of the robot troops, and after the final farewell ceremony, all the sailors on the Poseidon were transferred to the Mount Olympus, and then the Olympus guns fired a salvo, turning the Poseidon into a burning coffin in space.
"It's a tough decision, sir, but I'm sure we'll get our revenge!" Seeing Fisher's unhappy face, a Marine non-commissioned officer on the Poseidon thought that the other party was suffering from the loss of the battleship.
"I believe in you!" Fisher didn't explain that he was actually uncomfortable because he had just run to the power room of the Poseidon, and originally wanted to see if there was any tattery to clean up, but when he walked into the closed door, he found that during the raid, the commando team of the Punishment directly blew the entire engine to pieces, and the Poseidon is now equivalent to a space coffin.
After the bombardment, Fisher was surprised to find that although the Poseidon was still burning, the main body of the battleship was still intact, the hull was not broken, but the whole battleship had lost its recovery value.
"This thing floats in space for tens of thousands of years, and it is estimated that it can become a space scrap ship!" Seeing that the Mount Olympus did not continue to mend the sword, Fisher did not say much, after all, he still had to go to the military meeting.
"Is the news confirmed?"
"Yes, sir, the head of intelligence, Colonel Rhea, has been captured, so our raid was unsuccessful!"
"I see!" The ugly expression on Salenkoch's face finally faded considerably.
"Unleash all our power on Earth and save him!" Salenkoch looked at the huge globe in front of him, his brain was spinning rapidly, "The Punishment wants to buy time for the earth, then we will directly attack the earth, gather all the ships, and we will solve the problem of the earth once and for all this time!" ”
Sarenkoch's speech was not applauded by the other captains of the fleet, as he had hoped, and in the end it was Fisher who took the lead in applauding, only to be glared at by a bunch of other people.
"Sir, isn't this too risky, our previous actions ......" one captain objected.
"So this time we will not go into the Earth's high-altitude orbit! We go straight into the atmosphere! ”
"This?" If the previous tactics had only left the captains uncertain, Salenkoch's tactics now are like dropping a boulder on a calm lake.
"Sir, think twice, this is too dangerous, there will be a delay period for the battleship to jump out, and if it is attacked, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Objections were raised.
"We don't know anything about the situation on Earth right now, what if Colonel Rhea isn't saved?"
"Enough, Rhea will be saved, I will send the most effective commando!" Realizing that the previous successive defeats had shaken the confidence of his subordinates, Salenkoch was furious, and he stood up and scolded his men for being cowards.
"I've made up my mind, you can object, but you have to carry it out, otherwise I don't mind killing a few more captains!" With that, Salenkoch sent his battle plan to all the officers, and then hung up the communication in a huff.
"Mr. Fisher, I heard that you studied on Earth for two years?" After the meeting, Sarencoch turned his gaze to Fisher in the corner.
