The bridge of the USS Federation, a space that is on duty at all times in wartime, is already full of people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAlthough the Federation does not have many troops in the Source Domain, the Combined Fleet has the combined forces of the three empires in the Source Domain. From shipping routes to mining to industrial production, the vast Source Domain is like a new industrial area, and the weapons produced are equipped with various units nearby, which greatly increases the expansion ability of the Combined Fleet.

"Joint Fleet Command Urgent Communications Request." The communications officer looked at the buttons that were fluttering in front of him, and looked back at the empty Admiral's seat. "The Admiral isn't here, well, the communication request goes to the General Staff."

The staff was more spacious and lively than the bridge of the Confederation, and it was crammed with enough staff to sustain a Central Fleet, with nearly a thousand colonel-ranking officers in one place. Compared to the standard crew of the USS Confederation, which has only six officers in total, the officers of the General Staff seem to be particularly worthless.

"The Combined Fleet Command has informed us that a commercial fleet is under attack near us and is requesting support from a nearby fleet." The adjutant's report made Colonel Li Ce, the chief of staff, widen his eyes for a moment.

"What a joke. Our neighborhood? We didn't receive anything, but the distant fleet command received a telegram for help? ”

"It's also possible that the Admiral doesn't want us to come to the rescue, he has other plans." The adjutant did not hesitate to say that there was another possibility, or rather, it was more real.

"Our Admirals are not cold-blooded." Li Ce rubbed the corners of his forehead. In fact, he didn't believe much of it himself. "I'll be going to the Admiral's Lounge later."

When the adjutant left the office, Li Ce kicked the desk angrily. The chief of staff, who had always been polite, left a deep mark on the desk, and then straightened his collar, grabbed his hat and walked out.

"General, the chief of staff wants to see you, and he looks angry." The falcon who was on standby outside the admiral room saw the chief of staff Li Ce with an angry face, so he had to call Lu Lu, who was sleeping.

The sleepy-eyed Lulu had fallen asleep half an hour earlier, and poor Lulu had been nervous for sixteen hours for fear of the Marine rookies who had been thrown away from Alpha Three.

"Is there something wrong? My Chief of Staff. Lu Lu, who was only wearing a training shirt, looked a little tired, and he was obviously unable to adapt to the routine of the cosmic era after a shortage of tens of thousands of years of evolutionary time. However, even if he lived on Earth, Lu Lu obviously had an unhealthy schedule, and at least dozens of hours of not resting would affect his thinking.

"If it's a caravan rescue signal, all I can say is that it's a trap. Obviously, the Combined Fleet Command was very easily hit. ”

"Damn the Combined Fleet, we've had enough of our tasks." Colonel Li Ce frowned, having already thought of the crux of the matter. "Admiral, the soldiers have been fighting for six months, and they need to rest." High levels of tension can lead to new highs of mistakes in soldiers, which can be fatal in combat. However, the shortage of troops has made the system of rotational leave come to naught, and the Federation has nothing but an industrial base here.

"I have already asked the high command for an increase in troops, but the number cannot be too many." Lu Lu shrugged casually, even if the headquarters squeezed out a fleet, it would take a few months just to transfer the time, and the situation in the Wellspring Domain in a few months would only be a tragedy. "We needed more cannon fodder, so here we are. Planet Alpha III, where the Turks are currently the most likely source of troops. ”

"But Admiral, this plan was not approved by the Fleet Staff." Li Ce knew everything about the plans made by his staff, but within the scope of his authority, he didn't know until today that his fleet had a planetary landing plan.

"With the approval of the Supreme High Command, the tasks assigned to the Marine Corps, the General Staff has no right to intervene." Lu Lu replied calmly. "The main task of the General Staff now is to keep an eye on the operational situation in the Wellspring Domain, and until reinforcements arrive, it can only work at full capacity, and there is no room for bargaining. This is war, not a game. ”

Seeing his chief of staff leave unwillingly, Lu Lu didn't have the heart to continue sleeping. In fact, as far as Lu Lu knew, the High Command had confirmed that the 1st O Fourth Fleet would be expanded by 20,000 battleships as a source of support for the task force. Although the new fleet admiral has not been confirmed, it can be confirmed that Feng Yiwu will be transferred back to the special service fleet at that time. After that, the special service fleet will be fully transferred to the mainland to carry out the task of suppressing the rebellion.

"If the demographic crisis cannot be resolved, will the Federation launch a replication program?" Lu Lu looked at the soldier who was standing upright, his face expressionless.

"General, this is a federal secret." Hayabusa was a little surprised by Lu Lu's question, but then realized that this was a normal thing, and that this kind of similar plan was not a secret, the difference was only progress or whether it was activated. "You don't have the authority to understand the program."

"If you haven't authorized it yet, it's not launched yet." Lu Lu nodded and relieved himself slightly, according to his reasoning, he should have been one of the first people to learn about the plan. "I don't want to collect cannon fodder here and let out these flood beasts by the science madmen on the other side."

The laws of nature should not be destroyed, although Lu Lu, who has the most advanced biotechnology in the universe, is not qualified to say so, but he really thinks so now.

"How long did I sleep? Ah, it's only been half an hour? Lu Lu yawned, walked over to the drink machine and ordered himself a cup of strong coffee. Did the last Marines reach the ground? ”

"Five minutes later, the last of the supplies arrived on the ground." Falcon replied calmly, assisting Lu Lu in activating the various command devices in the room.

"What about casualties?"

"One hundred and twenty people were killed, all of which were caused by the downing of the landing craft." Hayabusa frowned slightly. In this era of highly advanced medical technology, most injuries are not life-threatening. It's just that the mortality rate of the war is obviously much higher.

"This casualty rate is acceptable." Lu Lu closed his eyes and said with a hard heart. "The enemy is not strong, and most of the anti-aircraft fire is destroyed, and the probability of a landing craft crashing is too small."

"General, you are really ruthless." The enemy will become strong, but the combat capabilities of the servicemen will not change. Most importantly, every Union serviceman is a valuable combat resource.

"I'm inherently ruthless. Although I never said that I would pursue zero losses, the current situation is simply that the Marine Corps is not well trained. Lu Lu gulped down the energy drink to refresh himself and started a new job. Cut together the scenes of them being shot down and send them to the Marines for their own reflection. ”

Falcon nodded silently, although she had some doubts about Lu Lu's decision, she did not raise an objection position. He immediately reminded his forgetful boss: "The second batch of five million men of the Provisional Marine Corps has departed from the central system and will arrive early next month, and their logistics seem to be handed over to us." Tsk, is Alpha really going to be an army training center? ”

"That's right." Lu Lu put forward his plan seriously. "The casualties in this operation will be greater than expected. Perhaps in the future, all armies will have to earn the Alpha Battle Medal in order to be promoted. ”

Just as the officers who have held the Battle of Mill Medal have been promoted at an extremely high rate in recent years, the Federation Army values merit and strength equally. The medal is not only an honor, but also a manifestation of experience and strength.

"At that time, I'm afraid it will not be a combat medal, but a training medal." Lu Lu shook his head helplessly. "If some righteous people know about it, they will definitely criticize the military's lack of morality."

Alpha Planet 3, as a natural habitable planet, has a complete natural circulation system, and this planet also has a rich and varied climate and geographical environment.

Dry deserts, flat grasslands, green mountains, and the polar regions that are always pure white with snow and ice. On top of that, this perennial melee has never been peaceful on a planet, with neither regular troops nor pure civilians. For a belligerent army, there is no better training ground than this place.

However, if we take a different stance, there is no doubt that the Federal Army will be questioned in various ways. The morality of ordinary citizens who are protected by the military must also be under attack. Although, with human indifference, everything that happens to Alpha will not care as long as it is not related to its own interests.

Human nature is a very ethereal thing, but it really exists. And the army, or should it be said, wars are often the least humane. Because war, in itself, represents a lack of humanity. Tyranny and killing are the main subjects of war, and death is the inevitable result of war.

After the death of many of his subordinates, Lu Lu was enlightened. It's better to be alive than dead, even if their occasional out-of-line behavior makes Lelu so depressed that he vomits blood. Especially when he saw the material application documents that had just been forwarded from the Marine Corps command, Lu Lu was even more depressed.

Due to the uncertainty in the descent process, the landing sites were seriously scattered, and Mu Zhendong, as the forward force, unfortunately lost most of the combat materials. Therefore, after Mu Zhendong stabilized the defense area, he immediately asked the fleet to provide additional material supplies.

However, it is a pity that the most recent supply fleet was used as a decoy by the fleet admiral Lulu, and it is currently playing hide-and-seek with the Republican fleet at a distance of 100 light-years from the Alpha Star Coefficient, and it is impossible to get rid of the enemy and join the main fleet in a short time. So, the Marines on the ground can only rely on the supplies they carry to get by, what is this called, okay, bittersweet memories?
