Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Abduction of the Commander (Part II)

Luopu's face became serious: "Commander Ben is not an expert in weapons, and neither are the people in your intelligence department. But we all know that there are three star systems between this Alliance and Bix, and even if the Bixians launch a superweapon, it is still a long way to reach us.

Even if that warhead could enter our star system like a starship out of space, our two-layer early warning system in the Alliance's extraterrestrial space could intercept and destroy it. ”

Pork said in a sincere tone: "Commander, although I am not an expert in weapons, I have studied antimatter weapons in the past. Everyone knows that antimatter particle weapons are powerful, but most people don't think deeply about the various ways of attacking antimatter weapons.

Our people have just observed that the explosion energy of celestial bodies in the extragalactic space of Bix is huge, enough to create a tiny super-space-time tunnel in an extremely short space, and the positive and anti-matter particles of terrorists can be wrapped in smart capsules, and these tiny particles can pass through the super-space-time tunnel and pass through three star systems into the Union Galaxy.

Although the particle capsules will travel at sub-light speed after entering the Soyuz's extraterrestrial space, due to the large number of divergent antimatter particle capsules and their small size, no early warning system can accurately determine their flight trajectory and intercept and capture. They will enter the near-Earth space of the Soyuz without hindrance, and then condense together in the final moments of the attack to produce a powerful explosion, and we must evacuate early to avoid a devastating blow. ”

Lop walked up to Pock with a calm face and said, "Poke, I admit that I am not an expert in weapons, and I can't judge whether your inference, which is also not an expert in weapons, is correct. But I can confirm two facts, one of which is that your alleged attack on our ABP by terrorists with superweapons is only a hypothesis.

Second, although I have just taken up the post of commander, I know that the issuance of a Combat Readiness Order I is extraordinary, and if it is a false alarm, it will not only cost people and money, but also make others laugh at the incompetence of our space police. The commander must not just take your word for it, but at least reach an agreement with the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Early Warning before making a decision. ”

"But by the time the commander convenes a multi-agency meeting and comes to an agreement, we may be in ruins. Because of the uncertainty and danger of this event, we must act unconventionally! ”

Polk spoke firmly, staring at Loop, who had been silent for a moment, and then looked away, because he had already confirmed from Loop's eyes that lobbying the new boss would not only be a waste of words, but would also likely cause tens of thousands of people at ABP to miss out on their chance to survive.

Pock glanced at the people around him with a stern gaze and said sharply: "Everyone, for our own safety, and for the safety of tens of thousands of lives in our space police team and the alliance headquarters, we must use unconventional methods to ask Commander Lope to immediately go to the combat readiness command center, where a first-level combat readiness order will be issued, and anyone who obstructs the operation will be punished according to the first-level combat readiness order." Let's go! ”

As soon as Pock gave the order, Ah Hu and Luo Lan stepped forward and walked out the door while carrying Lopp.

Loop turned around and shouted, "Pock, you're crazy!" I have a bad heart, don't mess around! Command guards, arrest Polk immediately! ”

But the personnel of the command just watched as Lop was taken away by his subordinates, and no one took action. Compared to Lope, the newly appointed commander, they preferred to believe the words of Minister Pock, who had survived. And they were all very rational, and in the face of the outnumbered and highly motivated Detective officers, it would be a bitter battle to arrest Pock, and there was no reason for such an internal fight in the current situation.

Pock and the others took Loop and flew to a large warship in the center of the military base in several flying cars.

Before entering the command center of the battleship, Polk warned Lope with a straight face: "Commander, if you follow my advice and issue a first-class combat readiness order, I will bear all the adverse consequences. But if you refuse to follow my advice and shout in the command center and cause civil unrest in us, you will be the first to die! I'll do what I say. ”

Lop cried and said helplessly: "Poke, I don't want to die yet, my heart is not good, don't scare me, I'll just listen to you." But you're going to go to jail for doing this, and it's too late to give up on the action, and I'll just think your mind is blown out and you lose your mind. ”

Poke said coldly: "I have already died once, and it is a trivial matter to go to prison. As long as you listen to me, not only will you save your life, but you will not lose your position as commander!"

There were only a dozen police officers on duty in the command center, and they immediately stood up and saluted when they saw Loop and the others walking in.

Ah Hu and Luo Lan hugged Lopu and walked straight to the podium, and Lopu sat on the command seat. Polk and Neil stood under the command podium, and the rest of the Recon Department stood behind them in a line to follow orders.

Ah Hu stretched out his hand to turn on a switch on the command platform, and a huge window immediately appeared on the wall in front of the command platform, and the various warships moored at the military base were vividly visible.

"Commander, let's get started, we can't predict when the superweapon will arrive." Pork said.

Lope straightened up and "Uh-uh!" He cleared his throat for a moment, then shouted into the window, "Fellow Space Officers, I'm Commander Lope, and according to information obtained by the Reconnaissance Department, the Bix terrorists have fired powerful superweapons at our headquarters base.

Because our early warning system in space is not capable of intercepting this superweapon, this commander has to issue a first-class combat readiness order here! All combatants immediately entered combat positions, and all non-combatants immediately evacuated to a predetermined safe zone with important documents. The Early Warning Department immediately notified the Galactic Alliance Headquarters and other units and personnel in the Headquarters City to immediately evacuate to their respective predetermined security zones in accordance with the first-level combat readiness procedures. ”

A clear voice came from the window: "The command works!" Please Commander confirm the order! ”

Loop reached out and flipped a switch on the command platform to give the command, then leaned limply back in his seat. He looked at Polk with the meaning in his eyes: You're satisfied now.

Polk didn't pay attention to Lope's eyes and turned around and waved to his subordinates behind him, and everyone immediately turned around and quickly left the command center. The personnel on duty in the command center first looked at the command platform in surprise, and then sat back in their respective positions and were busy issuing various instructions according to the command program.

After a while, a large group of assistants from the headquarters hurriedly entered the command center and took their seats at their scheduled posts.

The two intelligent assistants from the headquarters rudely pushed Ah Hu and Luo Lan, who were standing on Lope's left and right, out of the way and took their place. Ah Hu and Luo Lan didn't care about them, they stepped down from the podium and stood behind Polk and Neil.

Lop was completely relaxed at this point, and he leaned back against the wide command chair to close his eyes and recuperate.

The image in the window was suddenly switched, and a huge image of Bony appeared in it, and an intelligent assistant next to Lope poked Loop's shoulder with his hand to wake him up, Loop opened his eyes and was just about to get angry, but his eyes saw Bony in the window, and immediately straightened up and sat up.

"Commander Lopu, why did you hastily issue a first-class combat readiness order without first informing the Secretary-General and the Safety Supervision Commission?" Bony looked at Lop and asked with a serious expression.

Lopp stood up with both hands on the command platform and said with a smile on his face: "Secretary-General, I was about to report this matter to you, I was just forced by Poke to come here to issue a first-level combat readiness order under the threat of his life. Here Polk is, let him report his violations to the Secretary-General. ”

Lop looked at Polk with a gloating expression on his face.

Boni's face looked as shocked as if he had been electrocuted, and his gaze turned to Polke, who was in a hospital gown, and his shocked expression added to the confusion.

Pock looked out the window and said in a calm tone, "Mr. Secretary-General, I forced Commander Loop to do this. Because the Space Force hasn't issued a Level 1 Readiness Order for at least five years, we're not very familiar with the procedures. And because of the urgency of the situation, I failed to inform you and the safety supervision committee in advance. ”

Bony looked at Bock, the expression on his face softened, Bock's scarred face and the hospital gown on his body may have made Bony feel great sympathy for this police officer who escaped death, and he asked in a gentle tone: "Minister Bock, are you sure that the Bix terrorists fired a superweapon at the Alliance Star?" ”

"I'm sure! But I can't confirm it until the attack becomes a fact. If I make a mistake in judgment, I am willing to accept the punishment I deserve according to military law. Pock's tone remained calm.

For him, the first-level combat readiness order has been issued, and it is difficult to recover, and no one can stop it anymore. As long as he could avoid the total annihilation of the people of HQ, it didn't matter to him what else might happen.

Bony stared at Polk for a moment and said, "Minister Polk, I personally admire your work spirit, the tragic explosion at the Space Police Headquarters shows that our combat readiness is not done well. You don't have to be psychologically burdened, even if it turns out that the attack did not exist, I personally think that this first-class combat readiness operation can be regarded as a military exercise. ”

After Boni finished speaking, he looked at Lop again and said, "Commander Lop, since the order has been issued, please work together with Minister Polk to make this operation a complete success." ”

Boni's image disappears from the window.

The image in the window was immediately switched, and various aircraft flew out of the office area and into the military base.
