005 The Truth on the Front
After receiving the graduation certificate from Li Fulai and being told that the academy would hold a ceremony for them at 3 p.m., Lin Fan and Emma left the mock battle building.
"Are you leaving today?"
Emma walked to Lin Fan's side and asked softly.
"Well, the commander said that he would take me away after the award in the afternoon."
"But the front line now... Hmm..."
Emma just wanted to say something, but Lin Fan reached out to cover her mouth.
"I know more about the front lines than you know."
Emma looked at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes, she didn't understand why Lin Fan would know, these news should be blocked very thoroughly, if it weren't for a big family like Campbell, it would be absolutely impossible to know.
That's right, don't look at the fact that the Federation is calm now, in fact, it is not like that at all.
Since mankind formed the Federation and began to enter the interstellar world, in just over a decade, the three star systems of Proxima, Barnard, and Tianyuan IV have been included in the Federation.
For a time, mankind arose a frenzy of interstellar voyages, but what they didn't expect was that only a few years later, they encountered the powerful Oaks Empire in the universe.
It doesn't matter who did it first, and under the law of the jungle of the universe, attacking another civilization doesn't need the so-called righteousness at all.
Over the next thirty years, the Federation and the Oaks civilization fought numerous wars.
From Tianyuan IV to Barnard, and then from Barnard to Neighbor.
In the end, the three fleets outside the Federation's solar system were wiped out, and the three star systems of Proxima, Barnard, and Tianyuan IV all fell.
At this point, only the Fourth Fleet of the Human Federation of the four main fleets remained stationed in the solar system.
The overall number of warships has also dropped sharply from 150,000 at its peak to 30,000, including 20,000 for the Fourth Fleet and 10,000 for the Garrison Fleet.
And the 200,000 warships of the Oaks Empire are rushing towards the solar system.
In the 52nd year of the federal calendar, Oakes' fleet entered the solar system, and at this moment, Liang Xingchen, who had just become the commander of the Fourth Fleet, withstood the pressure and ordered all fleets to retreat to the Martian base.
Liang Xingchen knew that with a tenfold difference in combat power, there was absolutely no possibility of victory against the enemy head-on.
No matter how strong you are, facing head-on, a battle loss of 1:3 at most is already the limit, and the only chance is to use the asteroid belt to find an opportunity to break the enemy.
Soon, with no one to defend them, the fleet of the Oaks Empire made it all the way to Jupiter, leaving only an asteroid belt between the two sides.
Three months later, the 200,000 warships of the Oaks Empire entered the asteroid belt, and Liang Xingchen finally found an opportunity to ambush them.
The battle lasted for three days, and ended with the loss of 8,000 ships of the Fourth Fleet of the Federation and the loss of 80,000 warships of the Oakes Empire and the return to Jupiter.
It was also this battle that established Liang Xingchen's status as the god of the federal army.
Later, for the sake of internal stability, the Federation changed the public record to the total destruction of 200,000 warships of the Oaks Empire, and hyped that the Oaks Empire had been defeated, causing all the people of the Federation to think that the war was over.
However, the truth is that although the Oaks Empire has suffered great losses, there are still 120,000 warships on Jupiter, and humans are still cowering in the asteroid belt and cannot get out.
And according to Liang Xingchen's judgment, the Oakes Empire has not organized a second attack in the past few years, and its purpose is likely to be waiting for reinforcements.
Therefore, the current situation of mankind is quite poor, which is diametrically opposed to the appearance of singing and dancing within the Federation.
"Don't worry, maybe by the time you come to the Mars base next year, I'll be on the list."
"Hehe, you're only 19 now, and you want to be ranked as a general star when you're only 20 next year? Think too much! Even if Admiral Liang Xingchen became a major general, he was 28 years old, okay! ”
"Then let's make a bet, if I have become a major general when you go to the Mars base next year, you can be my girlfriend!"
"Who... Who is going to make this bet with you! ”
Emma's little face turned red at once, and she turned around and ran away.
"What a dishonesty! Hey, I'm leaving in the afternoon, let's report to the old man, it's really troublesome! ”
Immediately, Lin Fan also returned to his dormitory, ready to pack up, but there was still something to do before packing up, to call his father.
Soon, the communicator was connected, and a majestic voice came from inside.
"I'm Lin Zhen!"
"It's me."
"Say it!"
"I just completed the graduation assessment in advance, and after the title is conferred in the afternoon, I will follow Admiral Liang Xingchen to the Mars base and talk to you."
"Really?"
"Really? I said, old man, can you not be so precious every time? ”
"What do you have to say to you stinky boy, get out of here! Lao Tzu is very busy! ”
"When are you not busy?"
"You think I'm you? Don't think I don't know, you stinky boy sleeps all day in the academy except for sleep! ”
"What's wrong with me sleeping, sleeping makes me happy, sleeping makes me strong, no matter how much I sleep, I'm still the strongest!"
"You!! I'm so. ”
Although he was angry, Lin Zhen really couldn't refute it, Lin Fan really got stronger and stronger the more he slept.
This is simply a beep dog, according to the report of his subordinates, this stinky boy sleeps in class and sleeps after class...
In short, he is looking for opportunities to sleep all the time, but the problem is that this guy is really getting stronger and stronger the more he sleeps, and after sleeping for a few years, and even all the instructors in the entire academy, none of them are his opponents.
Obviously he was a very well-behaved and hard-working child when he was a child, but how did he grow up and become like this.
The more Lin Zhen thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Alright, old man, I'm here to say goodbye to you, who knows if we'll have a chance to talk again in the future, right?"
Lin Zhen was silent, others don't know, can he still not know what the situation is on the front line, he is the president of the Federation.
As for Lin Fan, it was also Lin Zhen who didn't want his status to have a bad impact on Lin Fan's growth, so he kept Lin Fan's information confidential very early, and the information disclosed to the public was a modified false information.
Therefore, the entire academy didn't even know that Li Fulai, the dean, was actually the son of the federal president.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
"Be careful, I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person yet."
"You should pay more attention to your body!"
“...”
Speaking of which, the dialogue between Lin Zhen and Lin Fan's father and son is always like this, it seems that they hate each other all day long, but they actually care about each other very much, which is also their unique way of communication.
After the communication ended, Lin Fan began to clean up, and then saw that there was still a lot of time left, and went directly to the bed and sleeped, oh no, it was training!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the central auditorium of the college, all the students and instructors were gathered here for the award ceremony.
As for the students who gathered, they were quite confused, isn't the award ceremony once a year? Why is it that the title is just over last time? Who is the title for?
Not to mention the students, the instructors are all confused.
It wasn't until Li Fulai came to the stage to speak that everyone was fried.
