189 Davao will not perish
189 Davao will not perish
"The last line of defense has been lost."
Zhong Yun, who had completely occupied the entire Mandes Star, heard the marshal say this sentence in a heavy manner, and his whole heart kept sinking.
The situation changed so quickly that people were caught off guard, and just a few minutes ago, everyone thought that Davao had won the game. Who knew that the advantage he had worked so hard to create would be equalized by the opponent in less than a few hours.
Today's Davao has almost been beaten back to the prototype again. The thought of this made his mouth bitter.
"Has Lanling Star also been lost?" Zhong Yun asked hurriedly, he wanted to know how bad the situation was.
"According to the information sent back from Lanling Star, the enemy has passed through the jump point and started a frantic attack. At worst, I can only hold on for ten hours. "The marshal is very pessimistic about the situation.
In the vicinity of each planet, there are some defensive forces left, but against the opponent's main force, it is insignificant. Relying on the characteristics of a space jump point for ten minutes to traverse a battleship, I dare to say that it can hold for ten hours.
"The Hongxian Federation has unilaterally torn up the negotiated agreement." The marshal's voice was more helpless than angry.
Zhong Yun was silent, looking at the beautiful blue planet through the big screen, with a deep look in his eyes.
The decision made by the Hongxian Federation only shows one thing. This planet, with its billions of citizens, has been abandoned by them.
The ruthlessness and determination of the ruler of the Hongxian Federation made his heart chill for a while.
Intellectually speaking, it is really cost-effective to exchange one Manders star for one of the thirteen administrative stars of the Republic of Davao.
However, Manders is not just a planet, there are a billion people in it, and if you give up, you will give up?
Now he is in a dilemma, and since the Hongxian Federation is ready to give up the Manders Star, its value no longer exists.
Staying here will do little to help the war effort, and the 45th Fleet is now the last mobile force in Davao. Its greatest role should be on the battlefield on the front line.
Leaving here, the planet that has been fought hard will be handed over to the Hongxian Federation, it is a pity, although it was abandoned by the high-level of the Hongxian Federation, it is not useless.
What can he do now? Ten hours, it's still too late to rush back to the front. But how long will one "Mars" and five "Kiriyama-class" warships be able to hold back the enemy?
Besides, what about the Manders Star? How about giving up? You can't kill all the people on it. Thinking about the Lanling Star that is about to fall and the billions of people above, Zhong Yun can't do this no matter what. What he can, the enemy will also retaliate mercilessly.
"Major General Zhong Yun." The marshal's voice was full, and he said solemnly.
"Yes." Zhong Yun gave a military salute.
"The 45th Fleet stays on the Manders Star, and there must be no mistake."
"Yes."
The faces of the four people next to Zhong Yun were all very ugly, a minute ago, they all thought that peace was already beckoning to them, and in the blink of an eye, they were beaten into a deeper hell.
"Your Excellency, Marshal." Chen Wen couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and said excitedly, "Are we just waiting to die?" There must be something else to do. β
His eyes glistened with tears, his face filled with unspeakable pain, and he shouted with all his strength, "Davao can't perishβ"
In Mars' control room, the air was so dull that it was suffocating, and Zhang Xiao turned her face away, her hands clenched tightly into fists. Tianhai's round face was tense, and his eyes were surging with anger and despair.
Liu Yunqi walked to Zhong Yun's side and held his cold hand. The calm face can't hide the sadness in the eyes.
There was silence for two seconds, and the marshal's hoarse voice rang out, "Davao will not perish. β
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Provisional Operations Department has issued an order to shrink all military forces and build a new defense line in Lan Zhanxing. β
With that, the marshal cut off the call.
"What." Tianhai stood up, he was shocked and angry, "What about the five planets north of Lan Zhan Star?" How can you do that......"
Chen Wen sat down in the chair weakly, and Zhang Xiao buried his face deep in the palm of his hand.
In the main control room, there was only Tianhai's angry roar, "That's more than five billion people, how can you do this, how can you ......?"
As he spoke, he fell to his knees, pounding his hands vigorously against the dark blue metal floor, and began to cry out loud and heartbreaking.
Zhong Yun hugged Liu Yunqi into his arms, his heart trembling with cold.
Blue Star is located at the central point of the Republic of Davao. Davao's thirteen administrative stars are distributed in a band, with the resident stars mainly announced at the two ends, and a solitary blue star in the middle connecting the ends. It is located at a distance of 2 light-years and 2.5 light-years from the nearest resident star at both ends.
Conventionally, Davao habitually divides the country into south and north. The Hongxian Federation was invaded from the north, where there are a total of five inhabiting stars.
Blue Star is also the only planet in China that has two space-time jump points nearby, one to the north and one to the south.
The decision of the Temporary Operations Department was very wise, except for the Lanling Star, which is now in a bitter battle, to gather the scattered armies of the other four planets and hold on the Lanzhan Star. It's better than being broken by the enemy one by one.
However, it was also quite difficult for the Interim Operations Department to make this decision. Having given up almost half of the country and nearly a third of its people, this order would immediately cause an uproar in the country. You can imagine how much pressure they are under. In the future, even if they save Davao from destruction, they are destined to bear an eternal infamy.
At this moment, Zhong Yun was deeply touched.
The Interim Operations Department chose the path that was most beneficial to the country and the most harmful to them personally. How will the people of Davao treat them? Incompetent, cowardly, traitorous...... All the vicious words that Zhong Yun could imagine might be inflicted on them.
For those who have been outcast, what will they think of the government that abandoned them?
Zhong Yun seemed to have the president who kept a gentle smile at all times, and the marshal who was always unsmiling and expressionless.
"Davao will not perish......" he repeated the words of the marshal.
"Davao will not perish!" He let Liu Yunqi go, took a big stride, and walked back to his seat.
Chen Wen raised his head in amazement, and saw Zhong Yun's resolute face, as if he had made some decision. I couldn't help but feel a wave of hope in my heart. Zhong Yun had already given him countless surprises, would this time be an exception?
He looked at Zhong Yun with great hope.
"I have a plan." Zhong Yun looked at his three friends and said slowly, "Win, we can end this war, lose...... If we lose, we all die together. β
A glint burst into his eyes, "And the chance of success is only eleven percent." β
Tianhai stood up, wiped away his tears with his hands, returned to his place, and said through gritted teeth, "No more talk, I'll do it." Even if there's only a 1 percent chance of ending this damn war, I'll do it. β
Chen Wen suddenly laughed, "I knew you wouldn't let us down. Whatever you want to do, pre-mine. β
Zhang Xiao rubbed her hands, looking eager to try, "Say, what do you want me to do?" β
All despair and sadness were swept away, and vitality returned to them.
Zhong Yun smiled, laughing very quickly, with these brothers here, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he would not feel afraid.
At this point, he could no longer see himself as a bystander, and at this point, he felt that he could not walk away.
If you want to do it, let's do it thoroughly, Zhong Yun thought. Scumbags of the Hongxian Federation, do you think you have won the battle? We'll see.
"You already know." After connecting the five warships, Zhong Yun looked at the heavy and sad expressions of the five captains and asked.
The five nodded silently.
"Now I give you two options, one, stay here and wait for further orders from the Temporary Operations Department. Second, follow me on a mission that will kill you in your life. Zhong Yun said amazingly.
All five raised their heads and looked at him steadily, waiting for his explanation.
"At this point in this war, Davao has no chance of victory at all, even if he can withstand the next wave of offensive and stabilize his position. It is also difficult to recover most of the land that has fallen. β
"At that time, under the loss of strength, Davao will be crushed by the Hongxian Federation forever, unable to turn over, until it is annexed." Zhong Yun's words are not alarmist.
The five of them also understood this, which added to their heavy hearts.
"Therefore, we must not lose this war, which is related to the luck of our country for hundreds or even thousands of years."
"Do we still have a chance?" Someone finally spoke, this was Captain No. 1, and he also spoke up the hearts of the others.
"Yes!" Zhong Yun's expression was solemn.
The eyes of the five people lit up at the same time, and their breathing became short, "How to do it?" β
"But we only have an 11 percent success rate. If we fail, we will not only be wiped out, but we will also lose the only bargaining chip in Menders. β
Silence β
"Give the order." Captain Number One finally spoke.
"We'll do it with you." Captain No. 2 gave a military salute.
The five of them gave a military salute together, "We'll do it with you." β
Zhong Yun returned a military salute very solemnly, "Thank you for your trust." He said in his heart.
Zhong Yun began to mobilize troops, leaving only a few mechs to control the planet, and all the others were recalled to the mothership.
After capturing the planet Menders, they found two completed ships of a higher grade than the "Misty Mountains class". Zhong Yun transferred a part of the controllers of each of the five battleships and drove the two battleships.
Although it cannot be controlled freely, it is completely sufficient to deter.
Leaving the two captured warships, Zhong Yun led the five warships and began to march towards the destination.
