Interstellar Federation Era 217, October 20. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Baibaoxing Ground-based Command Center.
After almost a month of two shifts, radar monitor Du Li found that the bags under her eyes were up.
Finally, it was the turn of the day to rest, and in the morning, the team leader called and asked her to come to the military headquarters immediately to work overtime, on the grounds that the colleague on duty was sick.
Du Li let out a wail, and if she continued like this, she felt that she was about to collapse on the hospital bed.
What's worse is that because of overtime, she had to push off the date with her boyfriend that she had promised.
When she arrived at the radar monitoring room, Du Li felt tired, and her whole person was about to fall apart.
There is no way, the pirates of the Twelve Star Palace, they haven't come for a long time, and everyone's nerves are tense.
War is not child's play, and although Du Li is tired, she definitely does not want to go back to the dark concentration camp where she was imprisoned by interstellar pirates.
Du Li picked up the cup and was about to drink tea to refresh herself, when her eyes suddenly straightened.
On the radar display, six red points of light are speeding in the direction of Baibaoxing.
In the next second, the little girl, who was only in her twenties, screamed at the top of her voice, "Enemy ship invasion!" ”
The team leader in his thirties, as if he had been pierced in the ass by an awl, rushed to Du Li in the blink of an eye, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it a pirate of the Twelve Star Palace!" ”
"It's not clear yet, but, it's a little strange, only six ships are here this time!"
Du Li's fingers crackled on the keyboard of the console, and soon the object displayed by the red dot was called up and placed on the holographic projection.
The leader of the monitoring team looked at it carefully for a while, and exclaimed in surprise: "This is ...... An interstellar pirate chasing a merchant ship? ”
Du Li was also surprised: "It's strange, this star field has never been passed by a merchant ship before!" How did they get here today? ”
At this moment, a monitor whispered, "Boss, do you want to report this matter to your superiors, or ...... Just let them go over and forget it! ”
The team leader glanced at him sternly, "Report to your superiors immediately." ”
The observer's thoughts, the team leader couldn't have been clearer, he wanted more than less.
Moreover, the current situation of Baibaoxing is extremely unoptimistic.
The team leader knew in his heart that if he didn't save the merchant ship, the fate of the passengers on the passenger ship would be very likely to be the same as before, trapped in a dark mine by interstellar pirates, and life would be worse than death.
This news reached the top of the Baibaoxing Military Department, and soon there were inconsistent voices.
The officers who advocated the rescue of the merchant ship accounted for the vast majority.
There are quite a few opponents, and their reasons seem to be more rational and sufficient.
At present, the Hundred Treasure Stars, the wind and rain, and the revenge of the pirates of the Twelve Star Palace, is like a sharp sword hanging overhead, and no one knows when it will fall.
At this time, it is really not suitable to provoke another group of pirates.
The officers who advocated the rescue of merchant ships naturally considered from the perspective of human nature, and if they were not rescued, the fate of these people would be almost predictable, that is, life would be worse than death.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and in the end they could only hand over this decision to Supreme Commander Roger.
Roger sat quietly in his chair like a wooden sculpture, and he listened carefully to the opinions of every officer.
Now it was Roger's turn to decide, and from Roger's heart, he was in favor of rescuing the ship that had escaped.
But those opposing voices seemed more rational, and Roger had to seriously consider them.
Indeed, the current Baibaoxing is not even too busy to take care of himself, and it is really not a good thing for Baibaoxing to provoke a group of other pirates.
Such a merchant ship usually has only a few thousand people, but Baibaoxing currently has hundreds of thousands of people.
For the sake of these thousands of people, is it worth risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents of Baibaoxing?
This is also what Roger has to worry about, and the most difficult to decide.
Even the sound of heartbeat could be heard in the quiet of the conference room of the military headquarters, and everyone's eyes were focused on Roger.
Roger's brows are tightly locked, and heaven and man are at war, on the one hand, human nature, and on the other hand, reason.
An officer muttered, "Why don't you ...... Ask the boss for his opinion! ”
Roger nodded slowly, such a big matter really has to be discussed with Luo Fatzi.
Just as Roger reached for the desk landline, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
In the next second, Roger stood up and said with a resolute face: "I have already decided, the second fleet will be launched immediately, but there is one thing, we must shoot down all the five pirate warships!" ”
The officers who were in favor of rescuing the merchant ships cheered, and the officers who were against them, although with a hint of melancholy on their faces, were determined to carry out Roger's order.
When the other officers left the combat conference room one after another and entered their combat posts, Roger's chief of staff said cautiously: "We made such a major decision without saying a word to the boss, it's not good!" ”
Roger smiled bitterly: "When I just made my decision, I thought of our boss, the boss's temper is very familiar to me, if I call him, I will definitely be scolded by him!" ”
The chief of staff nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, with the boss's character, he will never let this kind of thing go." ”
The chief of staff got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, "Then you called him to inform the boss about this, or did I tell him on his behalf." ”
Roger smiled, "I'd better call him!" ”
At present, there are more than forty large and small warships in Baibaoxing, divided into two fleets.
The commander of the Second Fleet is Roger's old subordinate and the captain of the original Flea ship, Chen Hai, a middle-aged man in his thirties who has been in the military for more than ten years.
The commander of the First Fleet is Luna, but Luna has devoted almost all of her energy to the construction of the underground base during this time, and needs time to rush back.
After receiving the order, Chen Hai led the Second Fleet and set sail to leave the base more than 20 minutes later.
Although the strength of the Second Fleet far surpassed that of those pirates who followed, the ground-based artillery fire of Baibaoxing was also ready at the same time.
For the enemy, even if it is a weak enemy, the fledgling Baibaoxing Military Department does not dare to be careless.
"Bearded, you're doing a good job in this matter!" Luo Fatzi's voice came out of the microphone.
Roger looked happy, fortunately he didn't ask Fat Luo what he meant just now, otherwise at this time, he would have been scolded in exchange.
"The big pirates came to bully us, and we can't bully the little pirates! Beat! Hit me hard! ”
The fat man Luo on the other side of the microphone gritted his teeth, as if those pirates were the pirates of the Twelve Star Palace.
