187 The Dawn of Peace

"There's news from the 45th Fleet." The soldier's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, and immediately provoked a strong reaction from all the members of the Provisional Operations Department.

The marshal's expression was obviously shocked, his body leaned forward slightly, and he said hurriedly, "Say." ”

"I just received an urgent report from the 45th Fleet, and they have penetrated deep into the territory of the Hongxian Federation......" The soldier who reported was flushed with excitement.

The news shook everyone, and there was a commotion in the venue. Everyone had strong doubts, why did the 45th Fleet enter the territory of the Hongxian Federation within ten hours? Without space jump points, this is simply impossible.

"And half an hour ago, he raided the other party's resident star, the Manders star......" The soldier continued, his voice trembling as he spoke, and he took a deep breath to keep himself from losing too much of his temper.

Everyone's hearts were raised, although they had vaguely guessed the result, but they couldn't believe it, not because they didn't want to, but they didn't dare. Hope is too good, too good for them to bear.

"Half an hour ago, the Forty-Fifth Fleet captured the space jump point near Mandel." The soldier finished speaking in one breath, and his whole body trembled.

The marshal lay back in his chair with a sluggish expression, and after a while he felt the boundless ecstasy drown his whole heart.

Is this the end of the war?

He clung to the handrail, and the handrail made of all alloys was grabbed out by him, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally, turned into a trace of fear.

He pressed all his thoughts back. Looking at the noisy conference room, he shouted softly, "Silence! ”

The cups on the table buzzed with a strong sound wave, all the members stopped talking, and the room returned to calm.

"Is this news true?" The marshal looked at the soldier who had come to report.

The powerful momentum made the soldier's face turn white, his scalp was numb, and his entire back was wet with sweat, "Liaison Office...... Double-checked...... It's over. Truly...... The information is true. ”

After saying this, he almost lost his strength, but fortunately, the momentum that shrouded his body also disappeared. Although his legs were a little weak, he still managed to keep his body straight. In front of the top leadership of the army, he must not let up.

The marshal's face changed several times, and finally, he stood up on the ground, "I want to talk to Zhong Yun in person." ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the port is under complete control." Captain No. 3 reported to Zhong Yun.

Zhong Yun nodded, "Well done." Now, you and the fourth and fifth ships have come to take over and closely monitor this space jump point, and I ask you to keep the main guns full at all times. Anything that comes out of the jump point will give me a bang. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Captain No. 3 gave a military salute vigorously.

"Good." Zhong Yun nodded with satisfaction, the cooperative attitude of the third captain did make him very satisfied.

"Ship No. 1, Ship No. 2." Zhong Yun connected with the other two warships that were on guard on the perimeter.

"In"

"In" both voices replied at the same time.

"Order all the warriors to be ready for battle, target: the star of Manders." Zhong Yun gave the order in high spirits.

"Yes." "Yes."

After the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 ships came to take over the defense, the "Mars" began to start, and the two "Wushan-class" warships followed closely behind, forming a triangle and heading towards the Mandes Star, which was 100 million kilometers away.

Kelvin, the planet leader of Manders, was woken up by an emergency call in his sleep, and when he heard that an enemy was coming, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and all the drowsiness disappeared cleanly.

Dressed as fast as he could, he ordered the secretary to wake up all the officials above the mayor level and rushed to the official residence.

"Immediately activate the emergency defense plan." Kelvin gave orders to the defense department at the highest level.

As soon as the "Emergency Defense Program" was launched, countless departments began to operate wildly.

All the military has entered a state of readiness, and all soldiers, regardless of rank, have been canceled on leave. Then they began to assemble and stationed in large cities to arm defenses.

Close the spaceport and requisition all the spaceships in the port.

Evacuate the inhabitants of large cities and send them to bomb shelters in preparation for war. Residents who are unable to evacuate are prohibited from going out, and all food needs are allocated by the government.

The star of Manders has officially entered the first level of alert.

All the people of Mandeb found that overnight, war befell them mercilessly. The original quiet and carefree life is completely gone.

A deep sense of pessimism hung over them, and some of them scolded the incompetence of the government army for putting them in such a miserable situation. Some still believe that the government will not abandon them and will send troops to rescue them.

The once prosperous Manders Star has now become a sad star.

As he was about to enter Manders, Zhong Yun received a call request from the Temporary Operations Department.

"Major General Zhong Yun, report your location." The marshal's voice was very serious.

"Coordinates: xx.xx.xx, Your Excellency." Zhong Yun reflexively gave a military salute, although the marshal could not see his people. In order to produce a large number of "space remote sensors" as soon as possible, the manufacturing plan for a more complex model capable of real-time video calls has been put on hold for the time being. So they can't do video communication.

Through the "space remote sensor", Zhong Yun could hear the marshal's violent heartbeat.

"There's no one around me now." The marshal's voice softened, "I'm not the marshal of Davao now, I'm Yunqi's uncle. ”

"Uncle." Liu Yunqi walked to Zhong Yun's side and shouted softly.

"Yunqi, it's good that you're okay." Hearing Liu Yunqi's voice, the marshal seemed very relieved, "Your father is worried about you. ”

"I'm going to worry you." Liu Yunqi said apologetically.

"Yunqi, this matter is very important, and my brother-in-law wants to confirm it again. Did you really occupy the space jump point of the Hongxian Federation's Manders Star? The marshal's tone was extremely solemn.

"Yes." Liu Yunqi replied solemnly.

From there came the marshal's long exhalation, "I see. ”

"Major General Zhong Yun." His tone returned to majesty.

"Yes." Zhong Yun gave a military salute again.

"No matter what it takes, you have to hold the space jump point." His tone was unmistakable.

"Yes, Marshal." Zhong Yun responded.

"From now on, keep me updated every half hour."

"Yes."

Turning off the communication, the marshal closed his eyes and said, "Connect to the president's office immediately." ”

In Davao, there is a similar wisdom of war. The 45th Fleet captured one of the opposing side's resident planets, which was enough to bring the Hongxian Federation to its knees. Let them sit down at the negotiating table.

Even if they can't agree to withdraw their troops and pay reparations, they can get a little respite. What Davao needs most now is time.

As long as you can give Davao a little time, and wait for the battleships and personnel to form combat effectiveness, they can send support to the front line to stabilize the defense line that is close to collapse.

The entire Davao leadership quickly reached a consensus, formed a negotiating team, and immediately issued a warning to the Hongxian Federation, limiting them to let the army cease fire within one hour, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

The leadership of the Hongxian Federation, who had already learned of the fall of the Manders Star, panicked when they received this warning. The entire cabinet almost quarreled. Some people advocate fighting to the end, and even if they have already fought to this point, how can they stop? The Republic of Davao has no way to fight back. If you give up at this time, you will only let the tiger return to the mountain.

But most of them are proposing a ceasefire, and whether or not they can defeat the Republic of Dava is secondary, if they abandon a planet, one of the most important industrial bases, and most importantly, 1.2 billion federal subjects. The spit of the people can drown them.

In the end, the voice of the main battle faction was suppressed by the superiority of the number of peacemakers, and a procedure for peace negotiations was quickly drawn up. At the same time, let the Supreme High Command give an order for a ceasefire to the expeditionary forces at the front. Ready to negotiate with the Republic of Davao.

For the first time, the dawn of peace appeared in the skies above the people of Davao, who had been devastated by the fighting.

When the media revealed that the Hongxian Federation had agreed to a cease-fire negotiations, all the people of Davao cheered, and the clouds above their heads seemed to be blown away.

The whole of Davao is immersed in a sea of joy, and those who have lost loved ones in the war are praying to the heavens that this negotiation will go smoothly. Let the war end once and for all.

There are also people whose relatives are on the battlefield who sincerely hope that the war will end as soon as possible so that their relatives can return to them safely.

And the 45th Fleet, which has made immortal achievements, has made all Davao people grateful and has become the savior in their hearts. Zhong Yun, a seventeen-year-old major general, received the greatest attention.

Suddenly, Zhong Yun's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he caught up with Marshal Yang Tianlie, the hero of national salvation that year.

On the one hand, they were endlessly proud of their son's achievements, and on the other hand, they hoped that he could come back from the battlefield as soon as possible and appear in front of them safely.

Yun Rong leaned her body into her husband's arms and said weakly, "Tell me, Xiaoyun will be fine." ”

Zhong Pingjiang hugged her tightly, "Don't worry, he will be fine." His words were full of faith.

While the temporary operations department in Davao was nervously waiting for a ceasefire, they received a message that they had fallen from heaven to hell.

A communications officer stumbled in, "The last line of defense, lost." ”
