185 Heroes and rumors

In this way, the entire eight battleships were bombarded by the "Mars" one cannon after another.

Tianhai and several people looked straight at each other, eight "Wushan-class" warships were enough to form a large fleet. Even if the other commander's head was caught in the steel gate, he would not have sent the battleships over to his death like this.

In order to prevent the explosion from reaching the jump point, Zhong Yun always waited for the opponent to fly a certain distance before giving the order to launch, and the enemy warship had enough time to send a message to the other side of the jump point.

Why did the commander over there send the battleship to his death so persistently? Could it be that the national strength of the Hongxian Federation is already strong enough to use the "Wushan-class" warships as cannon fodder?

When the eighth battleship was destroyed, not a single battleship appeared at the jump point. The other party finally stopped this stupid act of sending him to death.

After waiting for about thirty minutes, Zhong Yun's expression also relaxed, and a slender hand reached over and wiped his forehead with a hand towel. His nerves were tense just now, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Turning his head, he smiled softly at Liu Yunqi.

"Captain Three requests communication." The sound of the system rang out.

Liu Yunqi obediently retracted her hand, she was born in a military family, and she still understood some military regulations. It is a serious violation of military regulations to bring an unrelated person with no military rank to the main control room of a battleship like Zhong Yun. Even if he is the commander-in-chief, he will have to go to a court-martial.

"Plug it in." Zhong Yundao.

Captain Three's face flushed with excitement appeared on the big screen, "Commander-in-chief, the port has been controlled. What to do next, please indicate. ”

"Order the mech team to descend into the harbor for strict control, disarm everyone in the harbor, and disperse to several places and hold them. If you resist, kill. Speaking of the last killing word, Zhong Yun's eyes shot a strong murderous aura.

"Yes." Captain No. 3 answered and ended the communication. In fact, of course, he understands what to do next. Asking Zhong Yun was just out of respect for him, and this complete surprise attack had completely convinced him.

Tianhai: They are still talking about what happened just now. In Tianhai's opinion, the commander of the other party is definitely a showman, and no one with a normal head will give such an order.

"It's normal for them to react like that." Chen Wen, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Cut. Knowing that he was going to die, he sent a warship to die. Is this also called normal? I think you're not in your right mind. "Tianhai and Chenwen often carry it, and they have to carry it when they have nothing to do, let alone now.

"You only have to think about it, if any of Davao's habited planets falls into the hands of the enemy, you will understand why the commander of the Hongxian Federation would give such an order." Chen Wen's counterattack was as simple as usual, and it went straight to the point.

Tianhai was slightly stunned, he didn't take this layer into account. If a resident star really falls into the hands of the enemy, then the military headquarters is desperate and has to go to the rescue.

Each inhabited planet has hundreds of millions, billions, or even billions of people, and if they ignore them, no matter which country's government, they are guaranteed to fall immediately.

This is not a resource star, you can give up if you can say give up.

Why did Davao build the last line of defense in front of the "Lanling Star" and defend it no matter what the cost? It is because of the 1.5 billion residents of "Lanling Star".

"If the command of the Hongxian Federation didn't give such an order at that time, then their fate would be very miserable." A hint of mockery rose at the corner of Chen Wen's mouth.

In his opinion, this is all a senseless sacrifice. Now that the fall has become a reality, as a commander, after knowing the situation, the most rational thing to do is to preserve strength and defend strictly. Instead of sending battleships and elite soldiers to their deaths.

The eight main battleships and the hundreds of thousands of officers and men on board died meaninglessly.

"I bet the defense on the other side of the jump point is very empty right now." There was a strong temptation in Chenwen's words.

Tianhai and Zhang Xiao both understood the meaning of Chen Wen's words, and turned their heads to look at Zhong Yun. If the opposite side of the waypoint is taken down as well...... They were all so nervous that their palms were sweating.

To say that Zhong Yun is not moved at all, it is impossible. Now take the opportunity to attack it, and there is a 90% chance that you can easily win it. Think about it, the temptation to take two enemy jump points in quick succession is something that no commander won't be tempted to.

However, after weighing it in his heart, Zhong Yun could only shake his head regretfully, "Our strength is limited, and it is too dangerous to divide our troops." ”

"However, such an opportunity is once in a lifetime, and if you miss it, you will never come across it again." Chen Wen's face was anxious.

"I understand that, too." Zhong Yun shook his head helplessly, "But our strategic goal is to destroy, not occupy. We are not strong enough to do that, and if we split into two teams, we are in danger of being broken one by one. And we've got enough chips to take any more risks. ”

Seeing that Zhong Yun had made up his mind, Chen Wen did not persuade him again, he positioned himself as a staff officer, responsible for making suggestions. In the end, the decision was made to ask Zhong Yun as the commander.

Davao Republic, Temporary Operations.

"Isn't there any news from the 45th Fleet yet?" The marshal sat high on the podium, his face gloomy.

"Nope." The minister in charge of external liaison stood up and replied, "Since the 45th Fleet sent back a message fifteen hours ago, our liaison office has not been in contact. ”

According to the regulations, they have to send back a contact signal every two hours. However, the 45th Fleet had not been in contact with the Provisional Operations Department for a full fifteen hours.

After he had finished speaking, the entire Provisional Operations Department was eerily quiet, and the marshal's hand pressed down, and he sat down cautiously, for fear of making a little noise.

Everyone present seemed to have a boulder weighing on their hearts, so heavy that it was breathless.

The marshal hung his head, the knuckles of his fingers against the center of his eyebrows, and fell into great distress.

Whether in public or private, the loss of contact with the 45th Fleet was unbearable for him.

In Gong, the 45th Fleet is almost the last force that Davao can come up with, if they encounter any accidents. They can only draw troops from other military regions, that is the last move, and he will not do that until the last moment.

Privately, each family has a direct heir on the 45th Fleet, which was their agreement at the beginning, in order to show the family's determination to fight to the end.

The representative of the Yang family was Yang Yunlong, the eldest son of the current head of the family, Yang Bingchang, and he didn't know until after the fleet set off that his genius niece was also on it.

With the loss of two of the most important heirs at the same time, neither the Yang family nor the Liu family could afford such a loss.

The 45th Fleet went very well at first, and when the Provisional Operations Department learned that they had successfully passed through the jump point and reached the rear of the enemy forces, they were all overjoyed. Then the good news continued to come, and they destroyed seven enemy supply depots in a row. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were rescued.

Then he completely annihilated a large supply fleet of the enemy, cutting off the enemy's supply in a short time.

This was a turning point for Davao. The president immediately took the opportunity to activate the country's propaganda machine, not only to inform the whole army of this great victory, but also to cover it throughout the country.

It was a much-needed victory, and Davao's army has been losing ground on the battlefield since the start of the war. Many people have begun to feel pessimistic, and there are even rushes for shopping in the market.

Both the army and the people need a big victory to boost morale.

Therefore, even though he knew that this would make it more difficult for Zhong Yun to contain in the future, the Temporary Operations Department still agreed to the decision to announce this victory. It's just that Zhong Yun's merits and role will be blurred without a trace.

Despite this, the public of Davao has expressed extremely strong concern for the teenage hero.

The seventeen-year-old Rear Admiral Captain (the media did not say that Zhong Yun was the commander of this fleet, only mentioned his identity as the captain), which is legendary enough in itself. He also led the battleship to such a great victory (this victory was clearly exaggerated for the sake of propaganda).

Zhong Yun became a household name almost overnight, and the attention of the other five captains was not so high.

However, amid the flowers and applause, some people began to question why Zhong Yun could get the rank of major general at the age of seventeen?

As a result, an article titled "The Army's Shady Curtain and ** - The Story of a Seventeen-Year-Old Major General" went crazy in the virtual network.

This article exposes the fact that the military department is monopolized by several families, and proves the shady and ** of the army with a large number of detailed information and examples. The most typical example is the current seventeen-year-old major general. At the end, it is also clear that the reason why Davao's army collapsed so quickly was because of the low combat effectiveness of the army due to the familialization and corruption of the army.

As soon as this article came out, the people were in an uproar. The next day, a large number of people went to the presidential palace to protest and demand an explanation. In less than half a day, the entire presidential palace was besieged, and the crowd was furious.

The people of the Temporary Operations Department were furious, and on the one hand, they ordered the Ministry of National Security to immediately find out the rumor-mongers, and on the other hand, they formed an emergency response team to ask them to quickly resolve the crisis.

The emergency team immediately came up with a plan, and the reason why this rumor could have such a big impact was rooted in Zhong Yun, a seventeen-year-old major general. It's actually very simple to dissolve, just make the reason why Zhong Yun got this rank public.

The people of the Temporary Operations Department were very helpless. The reason why the war was covered up in the first place was in addition to Zhong Yun's request. They also didn't want the Yang family's power to continue to expand. But I can't hide it now.

On the same day, a spokesman for the military department made a speech, which was broadcast live by all the media.
