Volume 2 Starship Beauty and Flowers Chapter 59 The Uncovered Fig Leaf

At the same time that Bit's advance attack fleet was advancing at high speed through the civilian jump point and heading towards the new southern star, Vice Admiral Charlotte Fate, commander of the Fifth Fleet in the Milan Star Sector, was leading the main force of the fleet, which was a hundred light years away from the advance fleet, and the position of six jump points was following one after another. The speed of the main force of the Fifth Fleet is naturally not comparable to that of the advance fleet of the Bit Carrying the Sword Mecha Regiment, and even in order to avoid alarming the people, it uses military space channels, but under full sailing, it only takes about two days to pass through these jump points.

The incident that broke out in the New South Star immediately caused a sensation in the Fifth Fleet stationed in the Milan Star Zone, and the entire Fifth Fleet received a call from the Ministry of Defense, the Führer and the King almost at the same time, and these intense messages can be summarized as one instruction on the whole-that is, the Fifth Fleet quickly assembled and headed for the Imperial Frontier New South Star

Those instructions and pressures from the top of the Empire were also the reason why the Fifth Fleet instantly gathered a sword mecha formation and a bit attack ship as a covert operation force, and sent high-speed reinforcements into the New South Star.

Vice Admiral Charlotte Farth knew very well that the five fleets of the empire represented the five most powerful swords under the starry sky of the Great Eagle Empire, and now the sword pointed to the border of the New South Star, which was the situation of war.

The emperor has always had an unspoken rule, the five fleets are stationed in the five star regions, responsible for the territorial security of the universe in their respective star regions, and once any of them are assembled and dispatched, this is the empire to deter and pressure the enemy country or a certain force, and enter the state of jǐng ring.

The use of two fleets means that the Empire is officially preparing for war, and the Empire has entered the first level of combat readiness. It means that the behemoth of the Great Eagle Empire is officially ready to strike at the opponent, just like a boxer, with an attack posture ready to punch at any time.

And the three fleets came out together, and the two fleets defended the country, which means that the head-on decisive battle is coming. The Empire rarely has four fleets at its disposal, except in a situation where it will never stop.

Now that one of them, the Fifth Fleet, is sailing on the way to New South Star, Vice Admiral Charlotte knows very well that this means that the empire is launching a jǐng ring deterrence to the starry sky, is the war that has been silent for hundreds of years about to begin, and the entire human social alliance will tear through the face of hypocrisy and show a hideous face?

The interstellar quantum communication call came in again. interrupted Lieutenant General Charlotte's imagination, and picked up, the person on the other side of the hologram, making him solemn for a moment.

"The navigation information of the Fifth Fleet, every hour, will be directly transmitted to the strategic center of the Ministry of Defense, and we will arrive in New South Star in two days, when we will launch a strike against the other side if authorized by the Ministry of Defense"

Charlotte knew that any promise he made now, any order he carried out, whether right or wrong, would forever be recorded in history, and he had a sense of excitement that was opening up history, and a sense of nervousness, even guilt, that seemed to open Pandora's box. Because once the situation unfolds, they will never know what kind of fate they are about to face, and what direction the entire Great Eagle Empire will go.

But it seems that there are always some things in history that seem to be able to be reversed and changed later, but in fact, nothing can be changed in response to the situation, as if there is a giant hand of the Creator invisibly, pushing this qiē into a situation that is irresistible to mortals.

The so-called objective facts of materialism are not subject to human will, and this is roughly the case. Whether it is the change of regime, the progress of the times, or the war, from the perspective of later scholars and historians, there are striking similarities, all of which are like countless accidents leaning in a certain direction, constituting an inevitable ending, which erupts due to a certain inducement.

Now, is this trigger about to emerge?

"The king called me on the phone and told me not to have any worries, and as soon as the inevitable result came out, he would stand up as soon as possible." Charlotte's solemn voice slowly resounded in the command seat, "Intelligence shows that in addition to the Wassky destroyer, there are two Dreadnought-class anti-submarine reconnaissance ships staying in the public space of the New South Star Ring, these two reconnaissance ships provide all-round technical support for the Washsky destroyer, that destroyer has a fig leaf, and these two Dreadnought-class reconnaissance ships are marked with the brand of Sipang, once annihilated, there is no possibility of turning back from this matter." ”

"The Führer personally called you, this is already some kind of statement, in such a short period of time, we cannot make a decision through the Guò Congress, and this matter cannot be made through the normal procedures of the Guò Congress...... At least this phone call from the king, I believe that he and the prime minister have reached a consensus...... But my instructions are clear, the Fifth Fleet order is issued from me, and you should try to maintain a deterrent posture and try to wait until the operation of the Sword Mech Regiment is declared unsuccessful...... Hands-on"

Lieutenant General Charlotte nodded, looking at the middle-aged man on the other end of the hologram, this is just a very ordinary man, his eyebrows are a little crooked, his eyes are a little small, and his nose is not even high, he does not have the cool looks that those generals have been tempered, but everyone knows what kind of terrible power he carries on this man's back. What kind of whale waves will be set off in his actions and words that he points out at any time, and his appearance is indeed just like an ordinary middle-aged man who has been thrown into the sea of hundreds of millions of people in the empire and can no longer be found.

“…… New South Star is full of thieves, bandits, gangsters, and air thieves. Mr. Chancellor, as soon as your daughter has any news, I have instructed the Sword Mecha Regiment to rescue you, which is considered the second target task......"

Charlotte said this, but was interrupted by the other party, the middle-aged man's face did not have the slightest ripple, and said lightly, "Lieutenant General Charlotte, I hope you are still clear about your duties as an imperial general, your purpose is to carry out military orders, not to have a soft heart like a woman." The Sword Mecha Regiment is a special force directly under the king, and their mission this time is heavy, and there should be no mistakes because of my personal reasons, and the consequences for the empire and the people are not something you and I can bear. ”

“…… But keeping your daughter safe is also the request of others, and it is in the interests of the Empire. ”

The man laughed, "When did anyone think that my daughter's safety was more important in their hearts than my biological father?" When did my daughter's safety be linked to the interests of the empire? For some people, don't think too highly of yourself. ”

Lieutenant General Charlotte was a little awe-inspiring, and a little frightened speculated about the man on the other end of the hologram, and the words in his mouth "Don't think too highly of yourself" contained the smell of gunpowder, who was the sword pointing at in this empire? Some of the people whose influence is active in the First Fleet, or a few big families who are in power behind them?

What does this mean? Is the contradiction between the majority and the minority in the empire becoming more and more accumulated?

"Cancel the second mission, the Sword Mecha Regiment must go all out to carry out this operation, let them know that if they fail to rescue that person, then behind them, there will be countless lives behind them to pay for their failure. Once the Fifth Fleet strikes, the situation will inevitably go into the abyss."

Facing the instructions of the Minister of Defense in front of him, five-star Admiral Syalde, Lieutenant General Charlotte responded solemnly, "Understood"

The Fifth Fleet is a huge scale in space, and the battleship is traveling at the third cruising speed in that millions of kilometers of space, ready to enter the gap of the jump channel, Vice Admiral Wang Qinian, another deputy commander of the fleet, finally couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, and said to Charlotte, "It's been too long with the Xipang Empire, why don't we fight with each other heartily?" Could it really be that the civilian heroes of the House of Commons and the noble representatives of the House of Lords who are in charge of the parliament have been corrupted to the extreme, and like the sissies, they tremble with fear when they see the war coming? A hundred years ago, the suffering caused by the Sipon Empire to our Great Eagle Empire is still difficult to erase, and most of the Tata Star District is still in a barren state, with thousands of miles of shanty towns, planetary ruins, hundreds of millions of casualties, these hatreds have long been imprinted in the hearts of many ordinary imperial civilians, and now the Sipang Empire is stupid again, they want to be the lackeys of the Warsaw Alliance, we don't mind teaching them a lesson."

"Now the situation of the Supreme Council of mankind is unclear, and the Warsaw Alliance naturally does not dare to act rashly, and although the Xipang Empire has some ambitions from the government and the opposition in recent years, they are also well aware of the consequences of starting a war, once they fall into the war of the Great Eagle Empire, they are bound to be difficult to get out, but they are afraid that they will not get benefits, and even the whole country will be dragged down, in this case, the two sides will naturally have to curb the situation of war. For example, in today's situation, two Dreadnought-class intelligence ships, covering the long-distance raid of the Vasky destroyer on the frontier of our empire, using all kinds of camouflage, are nothing more than trying to capture the spy...... And this spy is related to the security intelligence of the national level, and we naturally have to take it back at any cost, but if the Xipang Imperial warship invades the border and is known by the people of the empire, what a horrific incident it should be, once it is exposed, under the high-pressure protests of the people, a war is inevitable...... Therefore, this matter must be controlled within the scope of what we can control. ”

Wang Qinian sighed, "Politics is a fig leaf for the country and big people, and this sentence is really true." ”

Charlotte's gaze was like water condensed like a flat lake, and she said with a terrifying calm, "Sipon and we both know that there is a reason why the two sides cannot start a war lightly...... So they didn't dare to show their heads directly, but only dared to disguise themselves as those gophers-like empty thieves in the universe. And we can't crusade in the open, the Sword Mecha Regiment and the Jīng Rui attack ship go first, and the purpose is also to concentrate Jīng Rui as quickly as possible and snatch our people from the opponent's Jīng Rui special forces......"

"But if the advance sword mecha group fails, once that person falls into their hands, then our Fifth Fleet will take the last move, even if there is a danger of entering the war, we must leave the other party here, and we must not let them just go back safely with people."
