"The Pelle squadron lost 6 aircraft, 1 was destroyed and 1 was damaged; The Hawk squadron lost 8 aircraft, Captain Hawke was killed, and Lieutenant Cardy, the leader of the first squad, acted as the squadron leader; Harold's squadron lost 4 fighters. The separate squad to which the light cruiser belonged was almost completely wiped out, and only 2 survived. The destroyer lost 4 ships and seriously damaged one, and the light cruiser lost 2 ships, seriously damaged 1 ship and lightly damaged 1 ship. "Captain Maren Harris is the staff officer of the task force and is now reporting the losses. He paused for a moment and concluded: "According to the assessment, the current combat strength of our army is less than 40% of the pre-war level, while the enemy army still has 90% of the combat strength. The staff group unanimously agreed that now that the enemy forces were not attacking, we should consider a retreat option. ”

"Order the fighter formation to be reorganized, and all of them will be sent out after they are ready, and they will be responsible for covering the retreat of the fleet headquarters, and the two sides will converge at point C." Colonel Avery heard the report and decided to retreat. He glanced at Major Carlton after giving the order, only to see that he was not sitting in his chair. The war was urgent, and I didn't know when he left his seat.

"Headquarters is in an emergency." Major Carleton entered the bridge from the rear and handed over an order to Colonel Aveley.

"Is there an emergency power from the toilet?" Colonel Avery scoffed, and opened the order book casually.

"You have to understand the cost of lying about orders." Colonel Avery said with a look on his face after reading the order.

"I just used a communication boat to order the scientific survey ship to withdraw from the range of enemy interference, and reported to the headquarters by long-range communication. Commander-in-Chief Galvin was very concerned about this matter. Major Carleton replied, "Commander-in-Chief Galvin has sent the aircraft carrier USS Glory here to fight the rebels. ”

"Have you been promoted to the rank of a rebel?" Avery frowned.

"Yes, with military-grade warships and combat robots, and a lot of veterans involved. Definitely related to the rebels. Major Carlton replied, "Don't worry about the battle, the Glory has already sent a brigade to join us in advance, asking us to consolidate our forward positions. In order to avoid other forces, it is inconvenient for the Glory to carry a large fleet, so the auxiliary ships rely on us. ”

During the period of great development of the universe, various forces entered the universe. Religious activists, rebels, etc., after entering the universe through various channels, hid in all corners of the universe, used the rich resources of the universe to develop and grow and establish their own bases, and had their own mines and military factories. Rather than being caught in the geosphere, you can use the vast universe to grow and grow in the universe.

After that, the rebels and religious activists entrenched in various asteroid groups warmed up with each other, and a few years later, they launched a large-scale offensive against the national government forces that entered the universe, and the space forces of each country suffered heavy losses. However, in the face of the powerful resources and productivity of the earth, the rebels were eventually defeated, lost a large number of bases, and were driven away from the earth.

However, it is also because of this that the combat power of the space forces of various countries has been greatly reduced, which led to the outbreak of the moon independence wave, the space forces of various countries did not dare to use force again, but used political force to solve it. At the time of the incident, the moon colluded with some rebels and obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment and experienced officers and soldiers. Later, under the persuasion of various forces on the earth, the permanent neutrality agreement signed included not signing a cooperation agreement with the rebel forces, and not providing any form of assistance to the rebel forces.

And the rebels, until now, the forces of the earth have not been able to exterminate them. There are always people in various countries who are dissatisfied with the government, and the rebels have contacted them in various ways and helped them in various ways. On the other hand, the rebel forces are also recruiting new recruits in various impoverished areas in the form of adopting orphans, who grow up to be loyal and highly infiltrated by governments. There was a time when governments convened conventions and only allowed official orphanages to adopt orphans, and during that time, many orphanages were directors of rebel forces, which made countries very distressed.

==============================================

Captain Pelle led his troops back to the flagship, the Louis François, and as soon as he stepped off the plane, the rearmament crew rushed to replenish ammunition, adjust parameters, check parts, and connect energy for charging. Captain Pelle secretly squatted in the corner with the two leaders of the maintenance team and drank some of the private collection of the maintenance team leader. The other team members ran to the shower room to take a good shower and then have a meal.

But before he could take two sips, Captain Pelle was called to his office by Colonel Aveley.

"It's hard work." Pelle was assigned to Colonel Avery during his time as a second lieutenant, and within a few years he had been promoted from second lieutenant to captain. "Very well done, I heard the battle report, I heard that you not only took down two enemy robots, but also invented some tactics to fight them." Every paused and said, "After reporting to your superiors this time, your superiors decided to promote you to the rank of major."

Avery pulled out a pair of major ranks, and put them on for Captain Pelle, oh no, the major.

"Thank you, sir, for your cultivation." Major Pelle uttered this formulaic answer.

"This time, I want you to integrate the existing combat power of the fleet and integrate it into a temporary group, and you will be in charge. And pass on your experience against your enemies to them. Colonel Avery slowly paced around the office, "You're already a mid-level officer, and you should be able to understand some of the things in officialdom. Now our army has suffered heavy losses here. And the General Command did not let us retreat, but sent an aircraft carrier and a wing to support us"

Colonel Avery took out a cigar, lit it, and took a puff: "With such great troop losses, we are already in a disadvantageous position. And if an aircraft carrier is sent now, it will inevitably send a lieutenant general to command. The reinforcements are higher than ours in terms of strength and command. If we lose the battle in the end, it will be fine, but if we win in the end, our troops will not get any good evaluation when we take stock after the war. So ......"

Colonel Avery walked up to Major Pellet's side and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Of course I don't want us to be defeated, because at present, it is difficult for our current strength to subjectively defeat us unless we are treasonous. I hope that you will be able to gather the remaining troops and strive to be able to make a contribution to them in the next battle. In this way, we will not lose much when we take stock after the war. ”

This time, Avery did not expect to be promoted to brigadier general, but only hoped that he would not be punished after the war.
