At one a.m. Norton on December 31, 4612, less than ten hours before the historic 'Truman Beachwalk'.

The USS Cyclops shut down its ion thrusters, allowing the massive mothership to dock near a planetary obstacle. And beside this huge monster-like mothership are thousands of warships.

Battleships, destroyers, electronic ships, frigates, cruisers, etc., all types of warships can be found here.

After the Cyclops stopped, they slowly spread out in formation, with the massive mothership as the head and the other warships as the tail around the mothership. This is the classic defensive formation of the Sdel Space Navy, the Monty Python Formation A-01.

Although it is a textbook that has long been written into the space military command science, even if someone has thoroughly eaten this set of space battleship arrays, no one dares to say that they can break through this set of warship formations.

Because it moves all the time, like a real python.

The command hall of the one-eyed python is a huge circular hall connected by five floors, and at this moment, the officers, staff officers, and liaison officers of various units have stopped their work and come to the front of the circular command hall, and the guardrails on the upper four floors are densely packed with officers.

They were resolute, and there was undisguised fervor and excitement in their eyes as they looked at the door, and each felt their hearts beating like the drums of war.

Finally the door opened, and the old man with a short cane entered. He was dressed in the uniform of a general of the Redemption Space Navy, with a shining star on his shoulders, and his military boots of special material stepped on the metal floor of the command hall. The crutches hit the ground with a crunching sound.

"Your Excellency!" Thousands of people stood up and saluted at the same time, chanting the title in unison, "General Cyclops Python!" ”

Myron Sdel stopped as he had stepped onto his podium and inserted his key into the identifier to authenticate himself.

Then, he raised his hand and gave a heavy military salute that he had not seen for a long time, "Congratulations, congratulations on being able to fight under me again." ”

No one spoke, and everyone had tears of excitement in their eyes. Although the man has long since grown old, his body is getting worse day by day, and perhaps his sense of space command has long been backward, but these do not prevent everyone from respecting him.

The title of the king of space naval warfare was not blown out, and the nickname of the one-eyed python was the code name given to him by his enemies. In the last era, when he hadn't retired to go home to recuperate, it was the time when he Myron Steele was crisscrossing the stars.

No fleet dared to stand in his way. Because his name has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that all his enemies have no idea of resisting and can only flee.

That was the right decision, because the enemies targeted by the one-eyed python usually turned into cosmic dust within forty-eight hours.

Now he is standing here, even if he does not give any orders, but as long as he stands on the high platform of the commander-in-chief, he can give everyone a strong sense of confidence. In a space war with the one-eyed python himself, there is no possibility of failure!

"I am also honored to be able to fight with the new generation of officers of the Space Navy, whose old friends and subordinates are almost dead. There were times when they were all chattering around me like annoying flies or sparrows, arguing about the topics I had to listen to. Skel patted the empty seat next to the commander-in-chief's position, "This is the position where the former chief of the general staff can stand, he is still five or six years younger than me, and the quarrel is more fierce than anyone else, and he can't hide next to me." ”

The officers knew exactly who Stehl was talking about. Former Chief of Staff of the Steelland Space Navy, Admiral Kurosawa, was Steel's lifelong friend and most suitable partner. It is important to know that no matter what type of army it is, the most important thing for a commander is a staff that can understand his tactical thinking and awareness.

In a large battlefield where dozens of army divisions and dozens of air force fighters are intertwined, it is impossible for a single commander to quickly know the intelligence, because it is too large.

The forward positions have been hit by the enemy's long-range artillery, our logistics warehouses have been infiltrated by the enemy's special combat teams, and there is a risk that the supplies will be destroyed, the casualties in a certain position are too large and need support, and the fighters need to enter behind the enemy lines to carry out tasks and request artillery shelling of the enemy's positions for cover support, and so on.

This huge amount of intelligence and information is intertwined, even if it has been filtered by the Skynet system.

This is where the role of the General Staff is manifested, and it needs to be close to the commander's consciousness in order to gather the intelligence that the commander wants and those problems that will be confirmed and solved in the first place.

From this, it is conceivable how much the role of Chief of General Staff Kurosawa was to Steer, but it is a pity that he died, long before Skel retired. It was also because of his death that Steele felt helpless and tired of the war, so he decided to retire.

But now he is about to set foot on the battlefield again, and he has stepped into the position he once was.

Steen was silent for a long time before continuing, "I'm not really interested in war anymore, but you know the reason for returning to this position today. I'm really tired of the war, and maybe I'm not the person you wanted to be when you stepped into the military academy. When Kurosawa died, I could clearly feel that his life was losing little by little, his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, lying on the hospital bed like a skeleton of bones, tubes of various colors were inserted into his body, and his voice was not only weak, but even his breath was almost gone. ”

"The last time I saw him, he took my hand and said, 'Myron Steel, you bastard, you ruined my life, if I hadn't met you, I would have been a musician or a teacher or something, and my life would have deviated from the path I wanted after meeting you. I'm going to die, I shouldn't have died, and I don't want to die for you old fellow, but I'm going to die. Retire Sterl and live the life I want to live for me, you can't be all in that position for the rest of your life. Eventually, you're left with nothing, just like me. I understood at that moment what he was talking about, his reluctance to his own life experience, and the desire to free me from this position. ”

Saying that, Stihl seemed to laugh, "But I may be such a person, for the rest of my life, I have to die in this position." A peaceful retirement life or something is still not for me. ”

He stretched out his hand and pushed towards the interstellar map, flicking a few lines of various colors, which were originally planned to be the line of attack, "Now, I'm going to lead you to victory in this war." Let's go! ”。

"Let's go!" The officers stood in unison and saluted, and then quickly returned to their posts to prepare for the next voyage.

"Kurosawa," Steel, looking at Truman's projection, "I've come to sweep your grave." ”
