Chapter 103: The Return
The atmosphere in the Freeport of Mars suddenly became tense with the all-out attack of the Seuss Empire.
The early winter sun shines brightly on the streets, but it can't resist the cold wind. The city that is in ruins is like a stage play that has been abruptly stopped, and in an instant, it has changed from a lively and vivid performance to a quiet and frozen picture.
All at once the streets fell silent. The sparsely scattered shops on both sides of the street are limp open, waiting for the few pedestrians on the street. The construction site, which was originally in full swing, could no longer hear the noisy sound, and the ant-like workers and engineering mechs had all left, leaving only a few caretakers, basking in the sun boredly, looking at the half-cleared and stopped ruins in the distance.
The lives of ordinary people have just seen the light of day, and they have fallen into embarrassment again. And the merchants who come and go from the south to the north cannot avoid sorrow and anxiety.
In the industrial zone, only a few factories are still operating intermittently, and commercial transactions have completely stopped, and even the entry and exit of goods in the port has been completely stopped. Bands of soldiers surrounded every surface port in Freeport Mars. There, it has been zoned for military control. Trying to transport goods to buy and sell at this time is a pipe dream.
No matter who you look for, no matter how many dots you give, it won't work. The army of the Filipino League has issued a proclamation, and everything has not been destroyed without permission. The smuggling ships, merchant ships, customs breakers, and corporate fleets that originally flocked to the free port of Mars on the waterway disappeared at once, and most of them stayed in the space station or free dock of the waterway, waiting for the ban on the waterway to be lifted.
The army of the Filipino League. I am moving frequently. At the corner of the street, sandbags have been piled up again and barbed wire has been drawn. Vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the city must have their identities checked. Transport mechs and heavy trucks loaded with soldiers or munitions pass by on the streets. There was a loud roar. Back and forth on the streets, heavily armed patrol soldiers eyed any pedestrian they found suspicious.
People watched all this with concern.
In that ring match, the fact that the senior general of the Fijian Alliance was almost attacked by a Tailiu mecha has long been known. Rumored. Tailiu Sect Master Cooper did not appear at the scene of the game at all. In the subsequent purge of Tailiu, he also ran away. Only suffered some unknown Tailiu peripheral disciples. Angry, the Feiyang people didn't make any sense at all, and as long as they had anything to do with Tailiu, they were all arrested. Time. The whole Mars chickens and dogs are jumping, and everyone is in danger.
The Tai stream is over, and the lore stream is also because of the deaths of Kilburn and Harriman. Fall to pieces. The original Mars pattern finally on this day. Completely buried. It was the classic duels of the bandit ring that completed all this. It has become a topic that people must talk about every day. Everyone was shocked by the death of Kilburn and others, and they were also deflated by the people of Feiyang. Feel the pain. I feel inexplicably excited about the strong return of the bandit army. / This is perhaps the best theme for pleasure in suffering.
To the world. Bandit army means miracles.
There are a lot fewer young people who have signed up for the Mars Front, but the number of people who have flocked to Puluo Town has increased, and many people have rushed to Puluo Town thousands of miles away, just to try their luck in this base camp of the bandit army and see if they can become a member of the bandit army.
This group that has risen in the town of Puluo has become a god in a war. Whether it is a genre war or a ring match, in this era when the strong are respected, heroes are worshipped, and miracles are expected, all their blood-boiling achievements have been dug up by people, widely praised, and have a great tendency to mythology.
All kinds of gossip are also overwhelming.
The bandits were captured, and the guy named Klaus had been released. Many of them swore that they had seen the old fellow walk out of the base gate surrounded by a group of high-ranking officers of Chuckner and Feiyan, and be picked up by the bandit gods of war. Everyone also heard that Cheng Zhixuan, who had been presiding over the establishment of the Mars regime and meddling in all walks of life in Mars, had been removed from his post and sent away.
Whether this person collaborated with the enemy or not, everyone was directly put into the top 16 by him, and he was inevitably charged with dereliction of duty.
To be honest, playing with the fat man of the bandit army, he is indeed a little more tender. How strong was the Northern Alliance at the beginning, but in the end, it was also served in a pot?
A little colonel, still from Chakner, why would he work so hard for Feiyang. After staying in Mars for so many years, he didn't understand that the entire pattern of Mars was subverted by that fat man. Annoyed the fat man, how many of them have a good end?!
People talk about bandits, but also about the current situation in Mars. For them, the bandit army and the situation are closely related. Now, everyone understands that after the ring match, the Feiyang people have put down their bodies and think about it, if it weren't for Kozmo's collision, Feiyang's female major general and the group of officers would not have been smashed into pulp?
Not to mention this kindness, in terms of reality alone, can they have a way to take other people's bandit army?
This is a slap in the face of the bandits to the Feiyang people, who have shown their presence in such an arrogant way. For the Mars, they can better understand the implication of the words - Mars is a bandit! This army has never thought of giving up here! On the one hand, they are allies with the Feiyang, and on the other hand, they are in this airspace, stronger!
The Seuss fleet attacked along the triumphal corridor, no secret to the well-informed Marsians, full of pirates, mercenaries and smugglers. In addition to waiting for the dust to finally settle in this battle, everyone is most interested in guessing what earth-shattering things the bandit army will do. The Seuss want to enter the Mars, the bandit army, is a threshold that cannot be bypassed!
The planet, in the midst of all the disturbances, rotated silently. ///
A detachment consisting of two aircraft carriers, more than a dozen battleships and cruisers, and more than 20 destroyers set off from Mars 15 and flew into the vast universe. In this task force of the Phayan and Chakner warships, there was a tattered and tattered armed merchant ship that stood out.
It comes when. It was just an armed merchant ship rusted and tattered enough to be thrown into a steel furnace, and when it left, it was already the center of attention. Everyone knows that the four gods of war and the four young warriors of the bandit army who became famous in the first war. It was out of the hatch of this armed merchant ship! The mark of the eagle and the skull in the bow of the ship represents a tough and crazy group.
In the huge central control room of the aircraft carrier, there was a lot of busyness.
Officer Chuckner in a black uniform, and Officer Feiyang in a brown uniform, all with stiff faces. A serious expression shuttled back and forth. In front of the center console, hundreds of screens flickered quickly. Graphics, data, and text are densely packed. The sound of communication one after another. Electronic prompt sound, switch toggle sound, instrument debugging sound. It fills the entire oval-shaped huge space. Zhang Pengcheng rubbed his closed eyebrows and looked away from the tactical computer. Throw yourself at the top of the arc in front of the center podium.
At the top of the arc of the command platform facing the large screen at the top of the center console, the fat man hung on the railing of the command platform. In Margaret's angry eyes, she bit her tongue and peeled the orange. The two of them spoke from time to time. Margaret spoke as fast as a machine gun, and the fat man. is honest and honest, slowly and leisurely.
Zhang Pengcheng couldn't help but sigh.
This detachment of the 1201st fleet has been away from the planet Mars for a full twenty-four hours. A day earlier, after learning of the Seuss fleet's attack on Mars, Carolina immediately issued an order for first-class combat readiness. And with the top management of the Twelfth Fleet of Chakner, in accordance with the plan of the coalition command, the joint operational command was initiated.
At that time, Zhang Pengcheng saw it, and after only two seconds of hesitation, Carolina was on the list and added Tian Xingjian's name.
Because the fat man held the title of commander of the First Army of the Mars Front, Fei Yang did not equip him with a team, nor did he include the bandit army in the front army system. So, nominally, he was an out-and-out bare-bones commander.
However, it is no secret how much this light pole commander plays and what kind of hole cards he holds in his hand. A ring match is enough for the Feiyang, Chakner and Mars people to understand how much power the bandit army has. The newly established Joint Command has two operational departments and a general staff under its jurisdiction.
The General Staff Headquarters is composed of senior staff officers selected by Feiyang and Chackner, and its main task is to be responsible for the coordination and overall command and deployment of the Feiyang Army Operations Department and the Chakner Army Operations Department. ///
Since it was an extraordinary period, and it was decided to improve the cooperative relationship with the bandit army, Carolina simply gave the position of chief of the general staff to Tian Xingjian.
This decision is also Zhang Pengcheng's proposal. In his opinion, for this fat man, who has a decisive force and once commanded the 1201 fleet to complete a classic reversal, the post of chief of staff of the General Staff seems to be more suitable.
The officers of the Feiyan were surprised and silent at this decision, while the officers and men of the Chackner fleet were completely unanimous in their joy.
Cheng Zhixuan, the former chief of staff of the Mars Front, who was originally the most hopeful to get this position, was directly dismissed from his post by Carolina and awaited repatriation on charges of gross negligence and dereliction of duty to be investigated by the Political Department of the Filipino-Allied Forces and the Chakner Military Department.
Zhang Pengcheng did not know this colonel named Cheng Zhixuan, who was sent by the Chakner Military Department to the Mars Front as a coordinating officer. He just felt that for this colonel, what had happened was a complete wonderful irony. I'm afraid that until he finally returns to Chackner and stands in front of the special investigator of the military department, he will not understand how he Zhang Pengcheng naturally has his own channels.
From the mouth of Su Kezhou, the president of the Longxing Association, he was able to learn enough truth.
Overall, Cheng Zhixuan lost badly. The well-organized competition, in the end, became the performance stage of the bandits, and all the plans for the bandits discussed with Fisichella eventually became the Waterloo of his life.
One thought!
The ending was already doomed from the moment Cheng Zhixuan tried to accept the fruits of the victory of the Lelei people. With Zhang Pengcheng's understanding of the fat man, let alone trying to seize the entire bandit army, even if he just wants to get a little material out of the fat man's hands, it is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
Whoever dares to stretch out his hand, this fat man will definitely bite as soon as he opens his mouth unceremoniously.
Zhang Pengcheng was very glad that he was in a desperate situation when the 1201 fleet was in a desperate situation. Got to know the fat man.
Otherwise, according to the usual logic, he would not have any good impression of a bandit army leader who disobeyed orders and set up his own mountain. Don't say become a friend of life and death like now. If you don't help the Feiyang people solve this thorn, it's bizarre!
After the ring match, the Feiyang people seemed to quickly correct their mentality. Carolina was able to make the decision to reconcile with the bandit army so simply, which was very unexpected by Zhang Pengcheng. However, Carolina's overture. It doesn't seem to have gotten a response from the fat man. Before boarding the ship, the fat man announced that the bandit army would not participate in this operation. After following the fleet for twenty-four hours, after performing the duties of the chief of staff. He will leave on a bandit destroyer.
Zhang Pengcheng looked back at Carolina, who was discussing something with the staff officers in front of the stage, and he didn't understand. Why did Carolina accept the fat man's decision so easily?
Margaret, what exactly did she say?!
Judging from what Zhang Pengcheng knows. The last time the Su-A1A2 fleet was defeated, the fat man made a hard stroke. If it can all be converted into combat power. Coupled with his original tattered warships, the strength should not be below the Feiyang B15 fleet. It was a critical moment for Seuss to attack in a big way. Fat man: why
"How?" The fat man's voice interrupted Zhang Pengcheng's thoughts.
He looked back. I saw that the fat man had stood beside him for some time, and he was stuffing golden oranges into his mouth one by one, eating happily.
"From the departure point of the Ernst system, our reconnaissance ship has made contact with the Seuss fleet again." Zhang Pengcheng pointed to the interstellar map on the command platform in front of him and said, "They have arrived at the FG13 obstacle area of the Rifle Galaxy in the Triumphant Corridor. It is being adopted one after another. Based on their speed, they were less than twenty hours away from reaching the Ernst System Jump Point. ”
"But," Zhang Pengcheng frowned tightly: "We only found two teams. The other two A-class fleets of Seuss have been separated from the main force and are currently missing. ”
"Missing?" The fat man stuffed the last petal of orange into his mouth and muttered. Zhang Pengcheng's news made him feel a little confused.
The Triumphal Corridor and the Louis Cloister leading from the main channel to Mars are two passages that are never connected. The Seuss fleet is now in full view, and this must have been well known to them when they discovered the Chackner reconnaissance ship. Then, they don't seem to have any choice but to speed up and break through the Ernst system with lightning speed, and there is no need for them to divide their forces at this time
Where will their other two fleets go?!
"The opinion of the War Department is still inclined to block the Suss fleet here" Zhang Pengcheng pointed to the galaxy on the interstellar map, which is located between the Ernst system and the Lance galaxy, which is olive-shaped, has five spiral arms, and the distribution of the planets is extremely scattered: "Rose Galaxy!" ”
The Rose System, the end of the Triumphal Corridor, is the gateway to the Ernst System. The jump point is not far from the SK-1288 star system of the Rose Galaxy. Because Seuss jumped into the Rose Galaxy from the Lance Galaxy, and his position was at the top of the Rose Galaxy's olive, so in order to reach the jump point at the other end, it was necessary to pass through two jump passages and six obstacle areas, the galaxy.
If the Chakner fleet can contain the Suss fleet before it enters the passage, then the Suss fleet will definitely not have the opportunity to calmly enter the jump passage before annihilating the Chakner fleet, and if it wants to force it in, it will face the devastating blow of the Chacner fleet. In this case, it is undoubtedly much better for the Filipino coalition forces who are intent on delaying time than holding on to the Ernst jump point.
Defending the Ernst jump point will inevitably face the full force of the Seuss fleet, and it will be a tough battle without any tricks. The Souss Empire could take full advantage of their numerical superiority over the Filipino coalition forces by nearly twice as much. And in the Rose System, as long as one fleet can tie up the opening of the jump point of the Ernst system, the other Filipino fleets can be liberated, and in the vast corridor of triumph and the main force of the Seuss fleet in a circle, the Seuss fleet will not dare to enter the jump point to the Ernst system for a day!
Although I vaguely feel that something is wrong in my heart, but. The fat man nodded anyway. Compared to sticking to the Ernst system and going head-to-head with the Seuss Empire's fleet, he really couldn't find a reason to oppose the plan.
Besides, the bandit army is destined not to intervene in this battle. This battle can only be fought by Zhang Pengcheng and Carolina themselves.
"It's time for me to go." The fat man looked and walked up to the center console. Buzz, who was standing at the top of the staircase of the white metal handrail, looked at him again, "Are you really leaving?!" Zhang Pengcheng raised his head. This is a question that he has asked the fat man many times along the way. Now, it's still blurting out uncontrollably.
Until now. He didn't understand the fat man's reason for doing this. Before that, he had always thought that the Twelfth Fleet would fight alongside the bandits. After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the meaning of Mars to the bandit army. Far more important than Chuckner.
If the fat man is willing to lose this soil for the survival of the bandit army, why did he participate in the ring again, is it. Is it just to demonstrate to the people of Feiyang?!
With the strength of the bandit army, with the command skills of the fat man and the major general Salega named Fang Xiang. It is enough to increase the victory rate of the Filipino Alliance alliance in the battle with the Souss by 30%! Zhang Pengcheng was even willing to completely hand over the command of the 12th Group Fleet to them. And they left at such a critical moment. In Zhang Pengcheng's view, it is tantamount to falling into a well. He didn't believe it anyway. It's a fat man's decision.
"Really!" The fat man rolled his eyes at Margaret, who was staring at him not far away. Hastings planned, although he couldn't tell Zhang Pengcheng clearly. Hints are always needed. is such a flattering thing, can the fat man let it go so much?
"No matter what changes in this battle, I hope you can support it for half a month."
"Half a month" Zhang Pengcheng said inexplicably: "What the hell are you?!" If the bandits join, our chances of winning this battle are much greater! You're leaving at this time."
Zhang Pengcheng did not say any more. In front of him, the fat man with the back of his head facing Margaret was squeezing his eyebrows at himself, and the facial features on his fat face were like mice on a globe, scurrying around.
Thinking back to the fat man's words, and then thinking about Carolina's appearance that she didn't care about the fat man's escape, Zhang Pengcheng seemed to understand a little, and he glanced at Margaret with his gaze.
Beside him, the fat man patted him on the shoulder with a solemn face.
The year 2063 is destined to be a black era for the human world.
With the fight between the Republic of Fiyan and the Binalt Empire in the Karlston Galaxy, the war has broken out in the human world. More than 30 member countries of the Filipino Alliance and more than 20 member countries of the Western Treaty have rushed left and right to fight fiercely in the interstellar territory of human civilization that has been opened up and conquered for thousands of years. Under the iron palms of mechs and the missiles of warplanes, countless cities were destroyed, countless houses were burned, and countless civilians died.
On the interstellar map of mankind, the red flames of war are spreading, starting from the southeast and the west of the immigrant planets, rotating as always, but the civilization accumulated on the planet for thousands of years has regressed in the war. On the outskirts, there are trenches all over the country, the figures of running soldiers are shaking, the artillery fire is overwhelming, the lightning flashes over the long sky and ground fighters, and in the city, there are collapsed buildings, broken bridges, burning fires, permeated gunsmoke, broken bricks and tiles thrown into the sky by the shock wave.
In order to escape the war, the displaced refugees began to migrate.
The Global Sources Highway across the planet is densely packed with vehicles. There are heavy trucks, there are black luxury flying cars, there are colorful economy flying cars, there are dilapidated and rusty passenger cars that can barely float, without exception, these cars are full of people and full of luggage. Even the roof. It is also occupied by large and small suitcases and backpacks.
It's the same in the port. One by one, the spaceships ventured out of the planet and flew into the vast universe. Passenger ships, explore spaceships. Private ships, cargo ships, and even mining ships that temporarily act as evacuation ships, and every star field, every flight lane, are all kinds of spaceships. In search of a safe place away from war, human beings have invariably chosen to migrate.
Displaced. It's painful. In this troubled world, people don't know where to find peace and tranquility. They can only move from place to place. From one planet, to another.
Pirates, bandits. Liars, thieves. Spaceship crashes, car accidents. Kidnapping, murder in this great migration. The ordeal experienced by people goes far beyond the pain of losing their homes. Along the way, they also have to face all kinds of natural disasters**.
Some of the ships, hijacked by pirates, all the refugees were coldly shot; Some spaceships have irreparable failures in the vast starry sky and cannot be rescued; There are also ships that are hit by an asteroid while crossing a dangerous obstacle area, and are hit by a storm of cosmic particles, causing the spacecraft to crash. These ships all have a common name - ghost ships.
One day, they either appear silently at the end of the leaping channel, floating, motionless, or captured by the gravitational pull of the planets, revolving around the planets day after day, or leaving the course and throwing themselves into the vast universe, and only after I don't know how many years before they reappear in front of people
This is the war that human beings have nurtured it from childhood to adulthood with hatred, and when it is released in the company of hatred, when it begins to show its hideous face and great destructive power, no one can put it in a cage anymore.
The Newton galaxy is still the same as it was, and the two immigrant planets, Miloc and Miloc II, are still quietly rotating. Escorted by a battleship, it entered the orbit of Miloc. Spaceports, mineral tilts, satellites, and the crystallization of all human technology floating in orbit on the space station, watching the fleet slowly enter the atmosphere. The unobstructed stellar light reflected on the port side of the fleet, like a flaming pattern. The small destroyer in the middle surrounded by majestic battleships is particularly eye-catching
The fleet was descending, the battleships, the first to leave the ranks, then the cruisers, and then the destroyers escorting the convoys. These starry steel behemoths cut horizontally through the atmosphere and returned to the depths of the universe.
At the same time that the last two escort warships broke away from the destroyer, dozens of warplanes that passed through the clouds took over the escort duty of the battleship. The huge formation of fighters appeared lightly in the view of the cruiser's porthole when the escort battleship left. The whole tactical move was completed seamlessly.
The destroyer continues to fall. The black hull of the ship was rubbed by the air, and a crescent-like red appeared. After more than ten minutes, the mountains and rivers on the ground were clearly visible.
The Gariparan II military airport is crowded with people. Government officials, journalists, and army generals stopped their noise when the characteristic roar of warships and warplanes sounded in the sky. They stared silently at the steel migratory birds that shaded out the bright sun.
The black destroyer, from the ground, slowly landed on the No. 1 tarmac of the airport amid the whistling of warplanes passing through the sky and the huge roar of anti-gravitational devices.
The heavy automatic hatch opened, and an escalator stretched out and landed silently on the ground. An old, but tall figure appeared at the hatch.
The moment this figure appeared, the cheers that resounded in the sky suddenly broke out. The rolling sound is like a tsunami, rising into the sky. The whole Garipaland, the sound of this crazy joy could be heard. It was the voice of the people of Leray -- after Hamilton's death, Leray welcomed back her current president.
Flavio, back to Leray!
The next day's newspaper had a front-page headline about Flavio's first words when he set foot on the land of Miloc.
"I came back to tell the invaders that we have not yet been conquered!" Update, you guys give me the monthly pass on the weekend, okay? How to, please log in, chapters more,
