"The low-ranking people have no higher education and can only work in low-end jobs, they are all unstable elements, and most of them are supporters of the traitor Shepard. We have to keep them under control before the wedding is over, so that they don't wreak havoc from within. ”
"All 28 sub-colonial satellites, with a population of about 20 million, it is impossible for so many people to be concentrated in the capital, that is more dangerous!"
The members of the parliament of the "Mycenaean colonial satellite" were noisy and spitting, and the scene was almost out of control. At this time, just listen to "Knock knock!" After two loud wooden hammer strikes, everyone controlled their emotions and calmed down, focusing their eyes on Speaker Wang in the center of the council hall.
"Parliamentarians, don't quarrel, we don't need to arrest all 20 million low-ranking citizens in the capital. Now that we have taken care of the low-level citizens on the three secondary satellites closest to the capital, it would be good to empty the remaining two satellites closest to the capital. The number of these people can be accommodated by several airports in the capital, ensuring that they cannot run to the city. ”
"Speaker Wang, what about the remaining 23 peripheral satellites? What if Shepardeze against them? ”
"It doesn't matter! If they dare to rebel, treat them as enemies! In special times, sacrifice is necessary to protect our people! ”
The parliamentarians were silent, and their quarrel just now did not make any sense. Speaker Wang had already discussed with HER how to do it, and this meeting was just a notice to everyone. The fate of the more than 20 peripheral satellites is already self-evident. It's just that the parliamentarians have more or less assets on those satellites, and they can't help but feel sorry for their possible economic losses.
"Don't worry, everyone, the Star Alliance is in name only, Shepard is alone, we have a strong HER as a backer, you can sit back and relax! All you have to do is go home and wait for my son's wedding to Princess Elizabeth in a month! ”
All the councillors stood up and applauded for a few minutes before leaving, and Speaker Wang was about to leave the table, and her secretary leaned into her ear and said: "Speaker, the allies have observed the movement of the Osiris, they have left the territory of the Moore Chamber of Commerce and are coming to us, and they will arrive in five days at the earliest." ”
"Is it the L35 route?"
"That's right."
Speaker Wang sneered: "As expected, Shepard can't even reach the range of the peripheral satellites now." ”
As the war situation changed, many colonial satellites broke away from the Star Alliance and joined the HER. Originally, these colonial satellites may have been separated by neutral satellites, but HER sent troops to occupy those neutral satellites out of strategic considerations, connecting the satellites they occupied with the sphere of influence of the satellites that had surrendered to them, and caring out a territory of influence in the Earth's circle that was beneficial to them.
The Osiris could bypass this area by going from "Shang" to "Mycenae", but that would take at least more than 20 days. By that time the wedding was taking place, Frederick the Great was stationed in Mycenae with his fleet, and the Osiris had no hope at all. Therefore, Shepard wants to recapture Mycenae before the wedding, and can only take the risk to enter HER's sphere of influence. Fortunately, HER's forces are not strong enough to fully control such a large area, and there is one path to Mycenae without hindrance, and that is the L35 route. This route to Mycenae happens to be at a distance from the HER-controlled colonial satellites, and the risk is minimal.
"The fastest route from Shang to Mycenae is L35 and L33, but L33 has our ally satellite Corinth halfway through. Moreover, a large amount of cosmic debris has recently entered L33, and it is tantamount to suicide for a warship like the Osiris to dare to go here! ”
As Speaker Wang thought, the Osiris continued to sail on the L35 channel for the next two days.
On the third day, her secretary nervously ran to her office.
"The Speaker is not good! The Osiris suddenly turned around from the L35 channel and captured our ally 'Corinth'! ”
"What? Impossible, when did you turn around? Corinth was captured so quickly? ”
"Corinth, they surrendered on their own initiative, and now the Osiris has entered their harbor."
"Damn... Shepard actually made such a name for himself at this time. I'm afraid I've conspired with the Corinthians a long time ago... It doesn't matter, they're just wasting their own time, L33 has been covered with cosmic rubble in the past two days, and small ships can't navigate, from Corinth to Mycenae, they still have to take the L35 road, and finally enter our encirclement network! ”
As Speaker Wang thought, the colonial satellites of nearby allies observed that after the Osiris left Corinth, the route it took was still L35.
…
"In 40 minutes, the Osiris will appear in the direction of 12 o'clock. The Leon's was ready for the launch of the overloaded laser cannon, and the combat units were careful to avoid the firing path. ”
"Roger."
Li Youde put down the communicator, he thought that in less than an hour his master's battleship would appear, and then HER's battleship would bombard it with overloaded laser cannons beyond range. If the Osiris is not destroyed, he will have to lead the cannon fodder troops to meet the enemy and give the HER battleship, which was temporarily paralyzed after firing an overloaded laser cannon, to recover.
His subordinate Matthew asked, "Ensign, our fighter pilots have only been trained for a long time, and the plane fuel is not full, this..."
Li Youde rubbed his fingers and said restlessly:
"None of them are soldiers, except for a few fools who have been fooled, they are all people who have criticized HER and have been kidnapped and forced to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. We can't do anything..."
Matthew Says:
"Damn, although this is not authentic, but the Osiris, please be killed by the laser cannon! I don't want to die..."
Li Youde was in great pain, and when Shepard left Mycenae, he was on a mission in the field. When he returned to his hometown, he received news that his hometown had surrendered to HER and that the Osiris had become independent on Earth. He was placed under house arrest along with the rest of Shepard's associates, and now he is finally able to return to the battlefield, not only to fight his mentor, but also to use his own compatriots as cannon fodder. Looking at the entire battlefield, there are many people who are in a similar situation to themselves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fighter transport ship we are on is very old, please fasten your seat belts and wear helmets." Li Youde admonished.
"The Osiris has appeared! Entering the range of the Leon! 10, 9, 8..."
Li Youde closed his eyes, he hoped in his heart that the Osiris could survive this blow, so that although some innocent people would be sacrificed, it was also a relief that he could die at the hands of his mentor as a HER lackey.
"Launch! Hit the target, and the Osiris is gone! ”
The cheers on the Leon came from the other end of the communicator, and everyone on Li Youde's small fighter transport ship secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but no one cheered out like that.
Li Youde's heart was like a knife, tears floated out of the corners of his eyes, he was silent for a few seconds, opened his eyes and saw the empty universe on the screen, and suddenly stood up and shouted:
"That's not right! The Osiris is fine! It is impossible for such a big ship to be destroyed without a large wreckage at all! ”
The captain of the "Leon", Major Vega, who was staying behind, also noticed the abnormality, but because the unstable overload laser cannon caused the ship's internal systems to be temporarily paralyzed, she only confirmed her concern through the camera that restored the function a few minutes after Li Youde realized this, she thought:
"If it's not the Osiris, what are the allies watching along the way? And what about the real Osiris? ”
Suddenly, Vega thought of something and ordered the battleship to quickly turn around and return to the periphery of Mycenae, while asking the cannon fodder troops to send fighter jets to confirm the area where the "Osiris" had just appeared.
Her unauthorized turn was suspected of escaping, and Lieutenant Colonel Talion's adjutant immediately contacted her to question her.
"Major Vega, don't you know what the Imperial Military Law punishes those who escape?!"
"I'm not running away, I'm going to the real battlefield!"
"What?"
The adjutant didn't understand, and at this time, Vega's subordinates passed her some photos, which were taken by the fighter who had just gone to investigate. Vega only glanced at it and showed the photo to the adjutant.
"What do these pictures mean?"
"Please tell Lieutenant Colonel Talion that we have been deceived by the Osiris, and we just destroyed the balloon!"
"Balloons!?"
"That's right, it's the fragments in the photo, if I'm not mistaken. At first, we thought that the 'Osiris' that left Corinth was actually a fake that was camouflaged with a large number of balloons and transported here by an unmanned transport plane with automatic navigation. The L35 channel is far away from the other colonial satellites, and those colonial satellites don't dare to send troops close to investigate when they send us a message, so their long-range observation can't see through the warships forged by the balloons. Please inform the lieutenant colonel and take action immediately! ”
"Got it, got it! I'll inform the lieutenant colonel! ”
Sergeant Singh, next to Vega, asked:
"Camouflage with balloons? Is this really possible? ”
"Feasible, during World War II, the Allies used balloons to fake tanks and planes to fool German spy planes. The cosmic environment is dim, and it is naturally unreliable to take pictures purely by cameras at long distances. ”
"If the Osiris doesn't go this way, then..."
"They must have a way to get closer to Mycenae from L33, so we have to go back right away!"
…
Li Youde breathed a sigh of relief and secretly admired his mentor. At this moment, a group of vicious soldiers rushed into the cockpit.
"Second Lieutenant Youde Lee, we are members of the council. Your personal terminal has found a lot of information about your contact with Shepard, please come with us. ”
"What? My personal terminal was confiscated by you a few months ago, and I can't even get in touch with my mentor! ”
Matthew also said, "That's it! Your council is too quick to unload and kill donkeys, and the battle is not over yet! ”
"Shut up! Now you can't be cannon fodder, and those of you who are disloyal to the council are also unstable, all follow me! ”
"Can't... Could it be that the ship will not have enough fuel to return to Mycenae?! ”
Seeing that Matthew was disobedient, a council soldier raised his gun and was about to shoot him, but Matthew's comrade-in-arms Xia Lan desperately blocked it.
"Bang!"
"Charan !!"
Matthew stepped forward to hug Xia Lan's body floating in the air, seeing this scene, Li Youde pressed the button in his hand fiercely, and a "window" suddenly appeared at the bottom of the cockpit, and several council soldiers were swept out of the ship by the air current, and Li Youde and others had already taken precautions, and they were fixed on the chair by the seat belt, and they were not swept away by the air current, and the only Matthew who left the seat also escaped thanks to Xia Lan's corpse blocking the "window".
"It's... It's..."
Matthew was shocked, and Li Youde closed the window without explanation, and said to everyone: "Quick! Tell the pilots to take out the fuel from the fighters and concentrate on this ship, we need to get out of the battlefield! ”
The rest of the people ran out of the cockpit after listening to the order, Li Youde knelt beside Xia Lan's body, closed Xia Lan's eyes, and said painfully: "This old model of transport ships have this kind of escape channel, using instantaneous air pressure to suck the crew out of the ship to escape, but because of the accident, this setting is no longer visible." I kept this hand and wanted to escape with everyone, but I didn't expect..."
"Second Lieutenant, let's go find the Osiris, so that we can beat the Council and avenge Charan!"
"Ah, that's what I thought," I can't be silent anymore, I'm going to fight HER to the end!" ”
Li Youde made up his mind.
