The numbers don't lie.

There may be different interpretations of the same number, but that's a human problem, not the numbers themselves.

The rows of cold numbers on the battle report are deeply stressed by most people, and no amount of bright spots can be found. Even if Lin Xi fought a few classic battles, no matter how good he fought with a frigate, it would not be beneficial to the battle situation.

In the theater of operations, the number of confirmed Federation forces starships has reached 2 times that of the dynasty. The Ninth Fleet is elite, and the Federation is not bad, and the two sides are almost the same in terms of technological level and combat effectiveness of individual ships, so numerical superiority becomes extremely important.

According to common sense, Lin Xi also knew that it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to support in this situation, and he couldn't expect everyone to be able to fight the battle of immortals. In fact, the level of the generals of the Federation is not bad, and the two sides have maintained a 1:1 battle loss so far, and Sheng Tang has already played a little beyond the level.

After a solemn silence, Lin Xi asked, "Are you looking for me to do this?"

Lu Qiyun smiled helplessly and said, "What else can you do without saying this?" I originally wanted to hear your opinion on the battle situation, but at the moment, even the gods can't reverse this situation. I have arranged for a high-speed starship, and once the battle is irretrievable, you will return to the dynasty with this starship. Few ships of the Federation could catch up with this starship. ”

"I'm not running away!" Lin Xi said resolutely.

Lu Qiyun said with a straight face: "This is not an escape, but a retreat, and this is an order! There are not only you on the starship, but also a few other young talents." You are still young and have a great future, and you cannot die on the battlefield at this time. ”

Lin Xi said: "How are the candidates decided?"

Lu Qiyun said: "There was such a list a long time ago, and it was all about the talents who should be protected first when the war situation was unfavorable. ”

Lin Xi's lips moved, but he didn't ask any further, even if he asked, he couldn't get a result.

Moments later, she left Lu Qiyun's office, and there was an extra permission in her personal terminal, the permission to board the escape ship in the last window.

Lin Xi did not refuse.

When the lieutenant general transferred authority, Lin Xi had a brief but fierce struggle. Deep down, she didn't want to accept such a gift at all, it was no different from leaving the army and running away. And the process of generating the list must not be too scrutinized, so all parties will not admit the existence of such a list.

However, in this war zone, the defeat of the dynasty was a matter of time. The battle situation was unfavorable, but the reinforcements were delayed, although Lin Xuanshang would soon return to the Ninth Fleet, but no matter who came, it was impossible to win such a battle. But why the reinforcements didn't come, even Lu Qiyun didn't know, and Lin Xi couldn't even know.

Once the dynastic fleet retreats, the Chu Jungui on Planet 4 will have no way out. Although it is difficult for the Federation to find and even eliminate Chu Jungui on the huge Planet 4, it is only a matter of time in the end. Lin Xi didn't know how long Chu Jungui could hold on, she only knew that if she died in battle, then Chu Jungui would be completely forgotten, and no one in the entire dynasty would remember him, let alone rescue.

Between sacrifice and survival, she seemed to have no choice.

The frigate was being repaired, so the vice admiral assigned Lin Xi a dormitory in the base. The speeding car travels through the interior of the base and stops in the dormitory area a few moments later. As soon as I opened the door, a loud sound came in.

The docking area of the officers' quarters was chaotic, with a large number of speeding cars coming in and out, sometimes almost colliding. Many of the officers who got off the flying car were all wounded, and they cursed one by one, and some simply grabbed a wine bottle and poured it with their heads up.

A few gendarmes came by, intending to stop the excessive noise, but they were just about to snatch a wine bottle from an officer's hand, when the officer suddenly smashed the bottle in the face of the gendarme!

With a bang, the bottle shattered and shards flew up. The gendarme, despite his helmet, was smashed to the ground with his head dizzy. Naturally, the surrounding gendarmes will not rest on their laurels and rush to the top. The officer fought back, ignoring the warning, and he was so brave that in the blink of an eye he knocked several gendarmes to the ground.

Sirens sounded in the docking area, and a large number of gendarmes poured out of the passage, some of them raising their guns, forcing the surrounding officers to retreat, and the rest rushing at the drunken officers. The officer, after all, was drunk, and in the blink of an eye he was subdued and pressed to the ground.

A gendarme took out a special instrument and directly seized control of the officer's armor.

The officer still did not intend to give in, and although his face was pressed to the ground, he still kept roaring: "Lao Tzu is a colonel, colonel! Every point of battle is won by Lao Tzu himself! What's wrong with me drinking some wine, what's wrong with being louder? In this battle, three of my 11 best brothers have returned! What's the matter, Lao Tzu is working the front line, and you have to look at the face of your grandson when you come back? If you have the ability, you can go to the front line, what is it to shrink here as a military policeman? I want to see what kind of one to two? What kind of bird virtue can you fight in a one-to-three battle!"

The gendarmes were a little embarrassed, and the colonel's hand was involuntarily loosened. The gendarmerie officer made a gesture, and one of the gendarmes turned on the outer mute of the colonel's armor, and the colonel's scolding stopped.

The gendarmerie officer looked at the crowd gathering around him and said with a wry smile: "The colonel has drunk too much and needs to be quiet for a while." I think one day is enough time for him to sober up. ”

This is actually a day of confinement, which is negligible compared to what he did by beating the gendarmes. The onlookers were satisfied, and asked the gendarmes to take the colonel away.

Lin Xi watched the whole process silently, and his mood became even heavier. Even the Ninth Fleet, which has always been known for its tenacious fighting spirit, began to have morale problems, which shows the seriousness of the war situation.

She returned to her dorm, verified her identity, and pushed the door open.

There are only two rooms in the dormitory, and the outer room is half occupied by the armor dressing room, and the actual area is quite cramped. This is not a lieutenant colonel's dormitory, but a major's standard. However, a large number of wounded officers could be seen returning to the base to recuperate in the docking area, and it seemed that the dormitory was already very tight.

Lin Xi didn't care much about these external treatments, she put down her luggage, sat down in front of the office desk, connected to the base mastermind, and began to check the latest battle report. She needed to know how bad the situation was and what caused it.

Star maps emerge on the workbench and become more and more detailed as the data loads.

As the latest information was uploaded one by one, Lin Xi discovered that the only supply route to the war zone had to transit through the Caiman system. The Caiman galaxy is the traditional territory of the Xu family.
