"The Allied Expeditionary Force encountered the strongest resistance ever encountered at Pingzu Pass. Under the wise leadership of the military governor Murray, and the heroic fighting of the soldiers, on September 26, the Pingzu Pass was completely breached, and the Kamon fleet fled. Since then, the entire Carmon system has been completely exposed to the eyes of the Allies. ”

The news of the victory in the Battle of Pingzu Pass reached the Blue Domain, and the big stone in the hearts of tens of billions of people finally fell, followed by the praise of victory and the mourning of the victims. Under the propaganda package of the Allies, the whole war has become a heroic story with twists and turns: the insidious and treacherous of the Carmon people, the fortitude and integrity of the Blue Regions, the wisdom and decisiveness of the commander-in-chief, and the heroic generosity of the fighting soldiers. The deceitful, bloody and brutal nature of war is stripped away and turned into a pure and simple film story of the triumph of good over evil.

Movie sales are inevitable, and related literary works, games, and video materials are also popular for a while, making all authors, directors, and game company owners who seize the opportunity make a lot of money. As a result, Murray has become a symbol of the god of war in people's hearts, and people who toss and turn will hang a portrait at the head of the bed to ward off evil spirits; People who move to a new house will put a statue in their room like a town house; The newly built Champ de Mars has erected a statue of Murray, and whenever dawn comes, the greatsword in the statue's hand reflects the light of the sun and pierces in the direction of the Carmon system.

"Facts have proven that the Nirvana plan proposed by Hyde two centuries ago, although it has the background of his time, will inevitably make the mistake of carving a boat to seek a sword." News, newspapers, and self-media have begun to comment on the Nirvana Project, and a column called "The Direction of Civilization" has invited many experts and scholars to discuss the direction of the past, the direction of the present, and the direction of the future every Sunday night. Under the arguments of these prescient pundits, the Nirvana project seems to have become an outdated proposition and has been falsified. Huo Qimeng and Murray's partnership is obviously more epochal than the former Führer and Hyde's pairing.

Huo Qimeng's approval rating soared instantly, and "Quanyu Weekly" even evaluated him as "the only leader who once again dominates the world after the unification of Julius Caesar 8,000 years ago." ”

As for the second half of the war, Dewey's help was weakened into "tactical superiority, and icing on the cake." To this, moderate people evaluate it as a superfluous move; Humorous people sarcastically caricatured it as a little favor; The selfish people directly attacked his early inaction, and when the war was about to be won, he came to snatch the merits of the war and fight for the spoils of war. The unprofitable bastard is naturally associated with the image of a robber, free food is eaten in the mouth, free energy is added to the airship, and wartime emergency supplies become the norm in the first place.

The joy and jubilation continued until the end of December, reaching a crescendo with the return of the warriors.

The first to come back were the disabled troops, no matter how disabled you were, whether you were conscious or not, whether you could walk, all of them were greeted by medical airships in pairs. The battleship was suspended on the garrison apron on the edge of the city, and according to the degree of disability, the seriously injured first, and a group of 2 people were slowly released into the medical airship by the force field light curtain, and on the airship, one medical staff in front of the other and one in the back, was responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers who were released. The 600-kilometer route from the garrison apron to the Zhongdu Hospital was cleared, giving way for medical airships to travel to and from the waterway, and the media filming boat arranged countless cameras at the edge of the channel to broadcast the majestic scene of the return of the wounded soldiers.

"They are brave and fearless warriors, supporting the pace of civilization with their bodies. Your name will be remembered, your allies will report your devotion, and civilization will inscribe your deeds. The sensational commentary, coupled with the tracking and shooting of countless cameras, appeared in front of everyone on the home planet one by one: "The Blue Domain civilization will definitely not back down because of the casualties at this moment, that will make their sacrifice completely meaningless." Today's sacrifice is for tomorrow's stability, today's war is for tomorrow's longer peace, and today's sacrifice is for tomorrow's more reproduction. They used their lives to write heroic stories that were not afraid of strong enemies. We will remember these stories, and our children and grandchildren will sing them. When I grow up, I'll be you. became the leader who fought hard for the advancement of civilization. ”

The long stream of the hospital boat shuttled for a whole day before all the disabled soldiers were received, and the Zhongdu Hospital, the hospital with the highest specifications in the entire civilization, was almost full. Leaders who came to offer condolences, reporters who rushed to report, and volunteers who gave love for various purposes have pushed aside the families who are caring for the sick. It wasn't until three days later, when the crew of the main ship returned, that the building was empty and peaceful.

As soon as the fleet returned to the system, Murray's commander's authorization was automatically lifted, marking his return from the role of Governor with troops back to the role of Governor of Execution. Huo Qimeng has already led the chairman of the board of directors to wait outside the ship harbor star, and the grand welcome ceremony has also been unfolded.

From the Ship Harbor Star to the Blue Domain Home Star, all the starship lanes have been cleared. Huo Qimeng, Yuan Tianji, and Murray, together with other captains, directors, and senior officials, took the Rainforest as the leader, and the other fleet members boarded the airship except for the two basic duty personnel. Led by the Rainforest, more than a billion people surrounded by 200 million passenger airships sailed to their home planet to welcome the warriors home.

On this day, all the people of the Blue Domain stayed awake all night, looking up at the shining band of light in the starry night sky. Tens of billions of eyes represent the state of mind of tens of billions of people: there are those who eagerly look forward to the return of their sons, husbands, and fathers; There are those who want to be one of them when they grow up; There are dying old people who lament that they didn't have the opportunity to fight against alien stars when they were young; There are those who are full of pride when they see the light belt; Only a few people can remain calm in the midst of such emotional cheers, thinking about the next direction of civilization.

The homecoming fleet arrived at the home planet just in front of the first rays of the horizon, and the entire fleet landed in a circular with the Rainforest as the center on the garrison apron specially expanded to welcome the return of the fleet, the gangway was lowered, the hatch was opened, and the winter breeze of the home planet blew into the battleship, telling all the crew that the air of the home planet was good again, and the pungent smell was completely evolved.

The first to appear at the hatch was Huo Qimeng, followed by Yuan Tian. Murray, the Chairman, the Captains followed, and finally the other crew members next to the main ship. Everyone stepped out of the garrison on foot, and the whole route was already surrounded by a crowd of people welcoming them in the middle of the road, and the moment the Führer's toes touched the ground, the "Anthem of the Confederates" also instantly began to play from the support team, and for a time, the same melody lingered throughout the Central Province.

Walking out of the garrison apron, everyone found that all the channels to Zhongdu Province today were closed, and the vehicles that could only be used in Zhongdu Province had been moored from being parked in the newly renovated area to this large Tianren Avenue at this moment. Huo Qimeng, Yuan Tianji, and Murray rode in a pure black convertible car, and there were thousands of empty alleys along the way from the garrison to the Central Capital Province, all of which gathered on both sides of Tianren Avenue. The Confederate Council had set up the stands on both sides of the road in advance, but it was not enough for such a large welcoming procession.

All of them held colorful flags, painted their faces with ribbons, dressed as ostentatiously as possible, and sang the "Anthem of the Confederates" in unison, which made the soldiers who had returned home completely forget the fear of the battlefield, and were proud of the time when they had thrown their heads and spilled their blood.

Flowers, applause, and salutes lasted until nightfall, and for the third time in 30 years, a large-scale banquet was held in the courtyard of the Central Capital, with countless wines and delicacies. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that snowflakes drifted outside the heat shield of the Central Metropolitan Hospital, and everyone supported their heavy bodies from the mess of cups and plates, recalling yesterday's passion, as if they had experienced another big war.

All military personnel are given 10 days of vacation and can travel in and out of the province as many times as they are allowed – these 10 days also ushered in a boom in the entertainment industry.

Behind all the falsehood and exaggeration, Huo Qimeng and others have bid farewell to those heroic moods, because the losses in this war are too heavy.

80,000 warships is the productivity of Blue Zone for 20 years; how to transfer 300 million combat crews in the social and demographic structure that does not increase or decrease; There is also the Gonggong that was taken away by Dewey, and it will take at least 5 years to build the same one. In this context, there must be no chance of winning if we continue to attack, and if we do not attack, how to explain the battle of Pingzu Pass to the people.

"Chairman Yuan supervised the battle on the spot, and he should have seen the enemy's firepower. The entire Kamon civilization does not know how many black technologies are hidden. If the Führer insists on continuing the fight, then I am willing to resign from the post of military governor, and you will find another superior, right? ”

Yuan Tianwei is not proficient in warfare, but he understands that if he is not a professional, he should not command blindly, so he did not intervene too much in the whole war, but as a witness, he now has the absolute right to speak, "I agree with Governor Lei's opinion, although the people have now forgotten about the Nirvana Plan, but after this war, I think the Nirvana Plan and the New Covenant of the Century are the best way to save the Blue Domain." Besides, that Dewey, stop proclaiming him as our enemy. ”

"After so many years of hard work, we have gone back to square one? You guys are so sincere that I can't get off the stage. ”

Hearing Huo Qimeng say this, Murray pressed Yuan Tianji's thigh who wanted to be angry: "Since we have taken this step, it may not be defined as going back to the original point." On the way back, I discussed a lot with the new chief of staff under my command, and I might as well let him report to the two leaders. ”

After obtaining the consent of Huo Qimeng and Yuan Tianyu, Chu Tiankuo's figure appeared in the conference hall.

On the other side of the world, in the face of the victory of Pingzu Pass, the people of Gaia did not show a trace of interest, but most of them were secretly worried in their hearts.

"Captain, since the start of the war at Pingzu Pass, the people sent by Yuan Tiandi have made small moves everywhere. first asked us to expand the supply of food and research samples, and then secretly attacked our vetting mechanism. It is now required to establish a monitoring station in the Gaia region to ensure food safety. The political deputy in Gaia grumbled when he saw Dewey.

"Unexpectedly, contact Yuan Tian and formulate the work responsibilities of these people here for us to review, and if he does not formulate or these people exceed their duties, he will arrange for the fleet to invite them back. Also call Mark over and we'll discuss the supply quote. ”

Pingzu Pass, which seemed to be victorious, put the entire civilization in a dilemma, and Dewey had already begun to regret the matter of ordering troops to go to war.
