in the cabin.

"Great! It's amazing! Salem is worthy of the god of war! After listening to the speech of the military god, Luo Yuhao was so excited that he couldn't add anything, clenched his fists excitedly, and kept walking around the cabin.

The battleship was detaching from the atmosphere, and Jiang Xia stood by the porthole, staring at the endless starry sky.

This is the first time in Jiang Xia's life to take a starship, the first time to leave Beta, and the first time to embark on a journey to the sea of stars.

Therefore, he will inevitably be a little excited in his heart, wondering what it is like to see Beta from space.

Looking back, it was like a dream, yesterday Jiang Xia was still a little assistant in the death identification center, but today he is already wearing a military uniform and a half-star badge, becoming a glorious quasi-martial artist.

Of course, the words of the military god Salem also made Jiang Xia feel bloody, but the experience of working in the death identification center for many years made Jiang Xia form a rare calm temperament, and no one could tell from Jiang Xia's face what he was feeling at the moment and what he was thinking.

The know-it-all came to Jiang Xia's side and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The dead old man is old, and he still likes to be strong, if we really want to go to war with the Moro Empire because of the evacuation of overseas Chinese, our losses are only afraid to be greater, and you don't think it's worth the price, right?" ”

Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at the know-it-all with strange eyes, that was the military god Salem, and the know-it-all actually called him an old man? That's disrespectful, isn't it?

Jiang Xia frowned slightly and said, "I think, it's worth it." ”

The jack-of-all-trades blinked his eyes and stared at Jiang Xia in surprise for a few seconds, "Don't you believe in cost theory and Machiavellianism?" ”

Jiang Xia asked rhetorically, "Have you ever thought about it, if the Earth Federation can't protect its compatriots, how can its compatriots be loyal to the Federation?" ”

"Maybe the evacuation operation will be an extremely difficult battle, but if we lose this battle, we will lose not only the war, but also the hearts and minds."

"The Earth Federation is poor in resources and backward in technology, but we still rely on such difficult conditions to get all the way to today, ranking among the 1000 powerful countries in the galaxy, precisely because the Federation has the full support of the people behind it."

"I am a descendant of immigrants, and I know too well the hardships of immigrants after they leave the earth, when we immigrants left the earth, not to live a good life, but to serve and support our motherland, without the contribution of immigrants and expatriates, how can there be a federation today."

"If we can abandon the diaspora today, the immigrants tomorrow, and all the Federation compatriots the day after tomorrow, in the long run, there will be no more Earth Federation in the hearts of the compatriots, and once the hearts of the people are scattered, everything will be over."

"I do believe that everything has a price, but at the same time, I also understand that there are some things that need to be guarded at all costs."

Jack-of-all-trades looked at Jiang Xia in surprise, he didn't expect that this young man with an indifferent face would be able to tell such a profound truth.

"If the state abandons the people, the people will not care about the state." The know-it-all nodded and said, "I seem to understand what you mean, the cost theory can be used in life, used on the enemy, but you must not use the cost theory to measure your own compatriots." ”

Jiang Xia said lightly: "That's probably what it means." ”

By this time, the Amsterdam had broken away from gravity and entered space.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "It turns out that looking down from space, the beta star is so beautiful? Look at the yellow ring, it looks like a golden ring, surrounding the beta star. ”

"I'll go! It turns out that the sandstorm of Beta Star looks so spectacular from space! Luo Yuhao also scratched his head in surprise and said: "This is just a beta star, if it is the earth, wouldn't it be beautiful and die!" ”

"Definitely!" Jiang Xia pointed to the sea of stars in the distance and said, "Look at that nebula!" Deep red, like the magma ejected during a volcanic eruption? ”

"Like! It's so similar! It's spectacular! Luo Yuhao's eyes widened and he said.

Belch...

The know-it-all pouted quietly, he already had a bit of a personality cult in his heart just after Jiang Xia's words, but when he looked back, he found that Jiang Xia was essentially a dirt bun who had never left Beta.

"What's all the fuss about, isn't it Nebula." Know-it-all muttered in a low voice behind Jiang Xia and Luo Yuhao, the two dirt buns.

However, he soon felt that he should sympathize with Jiang Xia and Luo Yuhao.

"It's so pitiful, they are all descendants of earthlings, but they have never returned to Earth, hey." The know-it-all muttered in his heart.

......

Amsterdam, battleship command center.

The official evacuation order has been issued, and around this dispatch order, Mu Linsen, Jacques, and Jovi all looked worried.

Jovi's face turned pale, and he swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "Let us be in charge of the Changjing Galaxy, the immigration mission of 120 million expatriates!" Oh my God, just kill us! How can we afford to escort so many expatriates out safely? ”

Jacques said in a deep voice: "Although the headquarters has made a huge determination, the relationship between us and the Qingxue Empire has always been very good, so there are not many warships deployed on the border at all, and the Grand Fleet has to be transferred from various territories of the Federation to the Qingxue Empire, it is not an overnight thing, our distance is close, only three days away, so this burden can only be carried by us." ”

Syllable!

Mu Linsen slapped the table with his big hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Logistics Department!" Calculate the maximum carrying capacity of the Amsterdam now! ”

"If we throw away all the entertainment facilities, all the equipment that is not related to the evacuation work, how many expatriates can the Amsterdam take?"

"Don't want it all?" The bespectacled civilian officer in the logistics department asked suddenly.

"Don't do it!" Mu Linsen was resolute and said: "Protecting our compatriots is the duty of our soldiers, and it is incumbent on us to do so!" As long as you can accept one more expatriate, you can save one more life! ”

"If there are no more things, they can be recreated, if the people are gone, how can we face the fathers and villagers of the Federation!"

"Go and demolish the officer and soldier activity room for me! Dump the water out of the pool! Smash the table, chairs, sofas, stereos, and TVs in the dining room and throw them into space! In short, make room for me with all the space I can use! Start smashing in my office and bedroom first! If the evacuation operation is unsuccessful, I will never leave the command center! ”

Jovi and Jacques were stunned!

Jovi gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice: "And my office and bedroom, go and empty them all for me!" For the resettlement of expatriates, from today onwards, I sleep in the command center! ”

As a result, a vigorous clean-up operation was launched on the Amsterdam.

The soldiers then threw everything they could into space, even the things that were important to them.

"Don't throw away this Venus sculpture, right? After all, it was given to you by your daughter. In a soldier's dormitory, a curly-haired young man asked, pointing to a tall sculpture in the center of the dormitory.

It was a birthday present from his roommate's daughter to his father, and his black roommate loved the sculpture so much that he had to stare at it for a while before going to bed, and he said that his daughter was smart enough to become a sculptor in the future.

The black warrior glanced at the sculpture that his daughter had given him, then directly picked it up, tucked it under his armpit, turned his head and walked out of the room, smashed it with a punch, and threw the pieces into the vacuum bin.

"Don't! All of them! My daughter would have forgiven me if she knew! ”

"What about our dormitories?"

"For expatriates, of course! We are soldiers, what dormitory do we want!? If this evacuation operation is not successful, how can we still have the face to wear this military uniform again! ”

......

Command center.

While the soldiers were busy clearing the space of the battleship, Mu Linsen had already received the maximum carrying capacity estimated by the system.

After glancing at the numbers on the blindfold, Mu Linsen closed his eyes in despair and clenched his fists with both hands.

Since the main force of the military is not at all on the front line of the Qingxue Empire, the ships that can be mobilized are very limited at present.

Counting the Amsterdam, as well as the three destroyers, eleven frigates, and eight logistics and transport ships assigned to the Changjing system by the military department, the maximum carrying capacity is only 3.7 million people.

"Three million people!?" Jovi was stunned and shouted as if he had been struck, "We're going to take 120 million expatriates with us!" This is outrageous! ”

Jacques let out a long sigh, he couldn't bear to look at the miserable number, he rubbed his temple with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The military department is already mobilizing civilian ships from nearby galaxies to participate in the evacuation operation, I hope there will be more volunteers, otherwise, this evacuation operation will really become an impossible task." ”
