Chapter XXIV
On September 16, 2505, the fourth star field, the immaterial imaginary space (void) cannot be located. Minotaur-class cruisers.
The only pity is that the Deleger family was wiped out, but the dead bodies of the head of the family, Long Yuantian, and the young master Long Qicong, could not be found! To make matters worse, the Federal Space Defense Force had detected an anomalous jump signal at the location of the Drager family.
As a result of signal analysis, the mass of the jumping object is only about 70 kilograms. The worst thing is that the direction of the jump actually points to the territory of the empire, somewhere in the fourth star field!
Long Yuantian wants to defect! Long Yuantian wants to take refuge in the empire! The moment this possibility appeared, almost everyone at the top of the federation could not sleep. No one can predict what will happen after Long Yuantian defects to the empire!
According to the Ishtar Pact signed by the Great Powers, the Empire and the Federation were subsumed under the First Planet.
Many of the two vassals are classified as second interstellar. All known or unknown developments within the four regions are classified as the third Chinese protected by the Convention.
The war for hegemony is limited to the first interstellar range, in order to prevent the war from destroying the entire human world civilization. Qin Zhentian scolded bullshit, it's not that the empire is worried that the scale of the war will expand indefinitely, and his own soldiers will not be enough!
Therefore, when there was a situation where he had to violate this "Convention", Qin Zhentian could only ignore this Convention. As for what anti-civilization charges. It's just a planet, billions of people, and that's a necessary sacrifice.
Thankfully, the mission was successfully completed, and the Jump Fault was made in time before the Imperial troops arrived. Now, the pursuers don't have to worry and can return safely.
The Minotaurs-class light cruiser, board number CL-6297, did not have a ship name.
CL-6297 is a warship of the Federal Space Force, which is excluded for irreparable engineering accidents during the maintenance of the ship. The date of exception is November 1, 2547 in the military calendar.
Therefore, the ship did not exist in the official battle sequence of the Federation. Therefore, at the level of interstellar law, there is no need to worry about any risk of war. After all, it is not the federal military that is illegally armed with the country.
The Milotaus-class light cruiser was originally a cutting-edge warship designed after the armistice. According to the rules for dividing the generations of federal warships, it belongs to the most advanced sixth-generation warships.
A shipyard capable of maintaining a warship of this class will have an engineering accident that the battleship cannot repair. This kind of thing in itself reveals a strange humorous attribute.
What are the facts? As most suspect, this is just a poor trick by the Federal Agency for Homeland Security and Strategic Defense.
It's clumsy, but that's what interstellar gaming is all about. You don't have to play any very detailed intrigues. Bomb your embassy, just say that your hand is slipping and blowing up wrong! Either you go to war with me, or if you don't, you can only condemn me without pain. It's so shameless, and that's enough.
Since this is the sixth special department established by the Federation, and it is ostensibly engaged in intelligence gathering, the Federal Agency for Homeland Security and Strategic Defense is also customarily called MI6.
Intelligence work is nothing more than a cover-up for MI6.
What is strategic defense? Eliminate all the factors that threaten the state, and the federation will be safe. MI6 is the secret police of the Federation, guarding the country's final line of defense in the shadows.
In order to safeguard national security and eliminate a potential threat to the Federation, MI6 received congressional approval to secretly requisition the Minotaur for a classified mission under the guise of a construction accident.
Although it was actually the consensus reached by him, Qin Zhentian and several other factions. Now that there is a chance to hunt down Long Yuantian, someone must complete this dangerous task. A group of cowards are greedy for life and afraid of death, only he, Qin Zhentian, has the courage and courage to do this. Of course, we can't do it in vain, and get the political promises of various forces. Qin Zhentian began to embark on this important task.
To this end, MI6 carried out a targeted transformation of the Minotaurs.
The original four fusion reactors were retained, and the original cruise engines were replaced with engines with lower specific noise to reduce the radiated noise caused by conventional navigation and increase concealment.
The four three-pack 155m42 times the diameter naval guns were dismantled, as well as most of the secondary armament groups, and only some of the small-caliber secondary armaments were retained.
The dismantling of the main armament set freed up a huge space of 4 km by 6 km x 1.5 km to equip the newly developed prototype of the antimatter imaginary compensation jump engine. Allowing ships to navigate the Void can also ensure that they are able to evade most detection methods. In this way, it is guaranteed to infiltrate the territory of the empire and not be discovered by the empire.
If it weren't for the antimatter, the imaginary number, and the compensation, the person in charge of the project team was his old classmate, and Qin Zhentian would not have pressed his life on equipment at any research stage. Annoying!
The original conventional jump engine is no longer meaningful, and the space obtained by dismantling is equipped with a full-band spiritual wave detector and a visual narrow area spiritual wave detector.
The former screens suspected targets, and the latter accurately compares and determines mission objectives.
Most people don't have to be directly involved in the task and don't need to know the details of the task. In this way, the crew can be transferred to the elite of each fleet. In view of the special nature of the mission objectives, even if the conventional forces are equipped with countermeasures and special attack weapons, it is far from sufficient.
Therefore, MI6 mobilized 12 teams of seven people to form the S-level special logistics support team. The name of logistics is just a front, in fact they are the real strength of MI6. Its members are all fifth-order and ε-order powerhouses, and the three team leaders, including him, are peerless powerhouses who have stepped into the sixth-order ζ-order.
That being said, it can be difficult to have a concrete concept. We usually use two words to describe the sixth estate, "holy order"! In some ancient class systems that have been discontinued, there are also names such as "Dou Sheng" and "Martial Sheng".
In addition, several snipers were seconded to the FBI. Especially the special sniper, Lingyin! He directly asked for the compilation.
Even so, even if MI6's preparations had reached this point, Qin Zhentian couldn't help but have a stomachache when he saw the report in front of him.
The casualty figures alone are somewhat appalling.
With the full support of 12 S-class special logistics support teams, three Space Force Marine firepower teams, two mayfly assault battalions, and an entire cruiser, the three Saint-rank powerhouses carried out the elimination operation against Target One.
As a result, two Saint-level powerhouses and two spiritual powerhouses were exhausted and lost their ability to fight. The special logistics team is directly involved in the operation against Target No. 1, and only two teams are still combat-capable. Dozens of people have been frozen and dormant with their injuries, awaiting further treatment. The fire team of the Marine Corps, because it only carried out marginal support operations, was in a slightly better situation, and the casualties were only about half.
The casualty rate is as high as 50 percent, so do you need to use 'cai'?
Qin Zhentian looked at the entries on the report, only to feel that his stomach hurt even more. If there's any consolation, it's that despite the huge cost, they managed to eliminate Target 1 without any danger.
Successfully Safeguarding National Security.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhentian's brows couldn't help but loosen a little. However, the fly in the ointment was that Target 2 failed to confirm death.
This made Qin Zhentian a little worried.
MI6 had not yet received Target 2's stable psychic signatures before he was out of surveillance. MI6 can only use genetic technology to estimate an approximate spectral line of psychic waves based on some of the information it already has.
As a result, by the time the Minotaurs were out of the detection range of the Psychic Wave Probe, the mission had captured three suspected signals on the target planet at 16:20.
On the one hand, the first mate reported detecting a regular fleet of Imperial squadrons approaching at high speed. On the other hand, the unit of Target 2 Exclusion reported being attacked by a plurality of unidentified units.
However, Lingyin gave a clear conclusion - Target 2 is on this planet! Qin Zhentian had no choice, if he couldn't find the target from the forest, he would ensure destruction. The only way to do that would be to reduce the entire forest to ashes.
Qin Zhentian ordered to bombard the target city, break away from the planetary gravitational field, and use a gravitational collapse bomb (Q bomb), codenamed "The Lotus of Buddha's Fury".
It was a star-destroying weapon capable of destroying the entire planet, a weapon banned by the Interstellar Convention.
But so what? As long as the threat factor of the state can be ruled out, all the sacrifices are worth it. It's just a few billion people. This charge will all be thrown to the former Captain Jia. Thinking of this, he was a little uneasy about the operators on the bridge. Immediately, Qin Zhentian ordered his subordinates to secretly arrest those operators on the bridge and execute them immediately.
As for the report, it will be handed over to the sensible chief officer.
Although Qin Zhentian didn't know what "Existence X" slaughtered the Drager family, although there were two fish that slipped through the net, he was still extremely grateful to that "Existence X". Whether it's the Ascension of Great Power or the Outland Evil Clan, it's a great help.
If it weren't for the "Existence X", how could the Federation have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purge Dragg's outstretched minions. And how could he, Qin Zhentian, have the opportunity to personally eradicate Long Yuantian, the country thief!
Wrong, you have to abide by the non-disclosure agreement, and it is appropriate to call it Target One.
Not being able to witness the target planet being torn apart by gravity made Qin Zhentian feel a little regretful. But there is no way, four destroyers of the Reich, two cruisers are already "jumping out". If they don't leave, they can't leave.
Nothing should go wrong, and in this way, the task will be successfully completed.
Qin Zhentian took a look at the third report, which was about the invasion of the Minotaur ship. Seeing the photo of the invading target on the report, it was just a brown-haired woman, pretty is pretty, without the characteristics of the Drager, and should not have the blood of the Drager family. Probably just an inconsequential guard or something, right? Long Yuantian's newly cultivated subordinates?
Qin Zhentian thought like this, closed the report, and rubbed his temples.
Now his only thought is to go home and see his daughter. It has been 6 years since this secret mission. In the past 6 years, they have searched four suspected star sectors and examined 1,469 planets within the territory of the Empire, risking being discovered by the Empire.
Finally, the hard work paid off. He, Qin Zhentian, is fortunate not to be dishonored, he is a hero of the country. Once again, he saved the Commonwealth from peril. It is a pity that this merit can never be shown to the world. The unsung hero seems to be very good!
