June 6, 2032, North Yuet Chau.

The conference room was full of seats, and there was no sound, only Huo Qiang stood at the end of the conference table: "Are you all here?" ”

"All the participants are here!"

"Okay, let's have a meeting." Huo Qiang's fierce gaze swept over the venue, "Every word I say next is very important, whether what I say has anything to do with everyone here or not, I hope you will remember what I said......

Ye Han sat in the corner of the conference room, his eyes fell on Huo Qiang, who was talking, and then turned to the bigwigs who were listening attentively on both sides, and a large piece of bright stars almost dazzled his eyes.

Although he also changed to the light board one, but today, the conference room will be star-studded, and the light board one is only on the side in this conference room, not to mention the colonel of the lower rank, all of them are silently nested in the corners and corners of the small transparent.

He had a vague feeling that this was going to be an extraordinary meeting.

After the routine opening remarks, Huo Qiang went straight to the point: "According to the arrangement of the superiors, there are two priorities for the next tasks of the fleet, the first is Ceres." ”

"You should know the strategic significance of Ceres, in order to control it, we set the first space base near Ceres last year, and I don't say what happened later, you should also know. Dozens of nuclear bombs have been thrown on the front and back, but the aliens still don't give up to this day. ”

"Ceres is currently located between the actual line of control between the enemy and us, we want to occupy the aliens, and we don't agree with the aliens when they pass, it has been a stalemate for a while, according to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, the fleet must bring Ceres into our control, and not for temporary control, but to firmly hold the control of Ceres, and turn Ceres into our forward base in the asteroid belt."

Speaking of this, Huo Qiang paused, and his tone slowed down a little: "Since the fleet marched into the asteroid belt, I have heard a lot of objections, and there are quite a few people who mention Ceres, thinking that Ceres is an asteroid, there is no need to grab it, even if it is for aliens, it is not a big deal, what do you think?" ”

A chuckle immediately sounded in the conference room, and Huo Qiang also laughed, but he quickly restrained his smile and slapped it on the table: "Sit in the well and watch the sky, the eyes of the rat are inch!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank, and they immediately put away their smiles.

Fortunately, Huo Qiang was not aimed at the people in the conference room: "Ceres is indeed just an asteroid, controlling Ceres, and it can't do anything to aliens, at most it is to control the vicinity of Ceres, but you have to understand, we don't want Ceres, the enemy can scramble there, if the aliens are allowed to occupy it, the future Ceres will be a springboard for aliens to attack us, such an important strategic node, can we not grab it?" ”

Huo Qiang sighed back and continued: "After I go back, explain the strategic significance of Ceres to the soldiers clearly, the above has made a lot of determination this time, the unit that receives the task must pay attention to it, regardless of the cost, regardless of the loss, I don't care how many warships I sink, and I don't care how many people are sacrificed, if I am Ceres, does Ceres understand?" ”

"Understood!" Everyone stood up at the same time.

Ye Han in the crowd was churning in his heart, and there was an irrepressible heaviness.

The asteroid belt has been stalemate for a long time, and this operation will definitely break the deadlock, if there is really such a great determination from above, Ceres will definitely become the focus of contention between the enemy and the enemy, and it is likely that a fierce confrontation will start around Ceres like never before.

"Sit!" Huo Qiang waved his hand downward, and everyone sat down.

A bigwig asked: "Commander, is this operation our unilateral action, or is it cooperation with the international fleet?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Another big guy also spoke, "If you cooperate, will you still score half of them?" ”

"But we haven't recovered yet, and even if we throw all the fleets into it, we won't necessarily be able to stop the alien fleet, right? It's better to give the base group a little than we can't take anything! ”

The big guys, you and I are analyzing all kinds of possibilities, and others don't dare to interject even if they have something in their hearts, so they can only stare and listen.

Huo Qiang waited for everyone to finish speaking, and then said unhurriedly: "Ceres' operation is carried out by our side alone, after taking Ceres, the sovereignty is completely owned by our side, you don't have to worry about this, Beidu and Washington have reached an agreement." ”

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned by the news, but everyone quickly became excited, even the bigwigs were not exempt.

Human beings have not determined the ownership of any extraterrestrial object in the past, and the Northern Capital and the Al-Qaeda group did divide the moon, but the moon is still nominally the common property of all mankind and does not belong to any country.

Of course, theory can only stay on paper, there are many countries that want to go to the moon, and there are many countries with space technology, but the moon has become the self-reserve of the two major forces in the east and the west, and any country that wants to get a piece of the pie must first pass the two levels of Beidu and Washington.

Can Beidu and Washington take out the moon and share it with unrelated countries? Dream on!

If everything continues to develop step by step, eighty percent of the development mode of human beings for other celestial bodies in the future will also be first-come, first-served, and if you can stop other countries from coveting it, you will have to divide a part of the benefits.

But what did Huo Qiang say now?

Ceres itself is indeed nothing, but it is significant to determine its ownership, as it is the first time that the international community has recognized the territorial sovereignty of a country over an extraterrestrial object.

Everyone immediately thought of Europa, Mars and other asteroids...... With the first there must be a second, and in the near future, extracolonial objects will not be a dream.

But is there really such a good thing?

A big guy asked worriedly, "Impossible, right?" When did the base talk so well? What exactly are their plots? ”

"That is, those gringos have never been profitable, how can they agree to such conditions?"

The others also held back doubts in their hearts, and everyone's eyes stopped on Huo Qiang's face.

Huo Qiang sighed: "What else can it be, of course, it is an exchange of interests." ”

"What conditions do they have?"

"It's a bit complicated to say." Huo Qiang said, "Let me put it simply, the agreement reached between Beidu and Washington mainly has several points, our target is Ceres, the target of the international fleet is Vesta, and the combined fleet attacks from two directions at the same time, but the purpose is not to seize the asteroid, but to feint to attract the attention of aliens, it is best to lead the alien fleet over to buy time for Mars!" ”
