Revised Edition Volume 14 100,000 Light-Years Counterattack Chapter 2 Bad News
Many people are criticizing Guo Yingying's soaring popularity behind their backs. www.biquge.info Purely looking at his qualifications, it is indeed easy to have such an opinion: Is it possible for him to be among the highest-ranking generals of the Space Force without relying on the nepotism of Overmars because he is young, has a shallow education, and has no particularly outstanding achievements? Regardless of whether Ovimas or Zhang Ning is a centaur or an independent kingdom of Leilondo, there are many people who hold this view.
"People who think that way are the real fools." Looking at the group of ships slowly approaching like stars outside the porthole, Hongxiang said: "He is indeed not a genius, and he is a little pedantic in some aspects. But this person has lived to the present with ordinary level of personal qualifications, strategizing, commanding in actual combat, and convincing the guys on the ground to bring in such a huge support army, I am afraid that people who are ten times smarter than him may not be able to do it, this is his talent. β
"I know you think highly of him, and I've always been good friends with him." I smiled slightly: "He's a very easy guy to get along with, and probably only that time did I see him really go berserk." When such people are angry, they are more terrible than you and me. β
"It's better not to have that again, but it can be hard." Hongxiang straightened his neckline and said, "Let's rehearse how to welcome him again." β
Guo Yingying is a pragmatist, and he doesn't need this kind of hypocritical grand welcome. But in many cases, we have to accept what we don't need, and the more we are offside, the more powerful it is, and that's the price of celebrity.
After many years of expeditions, the conditions were very poor, and everyone stood neatly at the No. 1 apron of the Gonggong Fortress, enduring the noise of the makeshift military band, which was far below average level. It was easy to wait until the noise ended, and Ovimars and I stepped forward one after the other to express our condolences to Guo Yingying. After a few pleasantries, Overmars said, "Guo, you have worked hard. Our situation has changed dramatically because of the reinforcements you have brought with us. But let's take a moment and go back to rest. A grand welcome banquet has been arranged on the Asahi. β
This kind of thing is expected by me, and his thoughts are all expected by me. There is no need for spiritual exploration, no passive perception, only need to analyze the situation to come to this conclusion: Guo Yingying bringing reinforcements is a good thing for the human expeditionary fleet as a whole, but it is not necessarily for the Leilondo group. Now it's time for them to operate in the dark and brew. I sighed secretly and looked back at Hongxiang, who also shrugged his shoulders - there are many famous generals among us, but there is no role like Guo Yingying who can handle such a difficult mission in the current situation. When he was sighing, he suddenly heard Guo Yingying reply: "Time is pressing, and there is no time to delay." Please allow the Commander to immediately perform his last duties as Commander of the GDI Support Fleet and announce the GDI's plan for the distribution of the Support Fleet. β
Overmars's face changed slightly, and finally he finally held back - after a few months of lack of people and horses at the end of the universe, his temper capacity has increased a lot. I glanced at his appearance of wanting to requit, secretly happy in my heart, tried my best not to show a happy face, and then said to Guo Yingying sincerely: "Xiao Guo, you are really dedicated." β
"Just do your part." Guo Yingying bent down slightly and said to Overmars: "Then please move, and we will go to the conference room to announce this immediately." β
This shift was something that no one had anticipated beforehand. Overmars nodded slightly, turned and left. I followed, followed by Guo Yingying, followed by a group of high-ranking generals chirping and discussing like bad students who didn't listen to lectures. After a while, everyone arrived at the highest conference room of the Gonggong Fortress, and Guo Yingying performed his last duty as the director of the Qin Mission's grain delivery and sending troops: announcing the distribution of the spoils.
The meeting was held suddenly, and the preparation was poor. When the technicians were hurriedly debugging the line, Hongxiang secretly bit my ear: "What do you say Xiao Guo is doing such a battle?" It's not going to give us a huge expectation and then throw us into the slump - it would be too much to call people like that. β
"Just don't expect that." I shrugged my shoulders and said, "What can we lose from having nothing but a little psychological expectation?" Can they still forcibly set aside all the co-worker fortresses? β
"That's not the case, the matter is concerned about personal interests, who can be detached from the matter." Hongxiang squinted at me: "You already know what Xiao Guo is going to announce, right?" Reveal it to me. β
"I didn't do that, it was boring." I smiled and said, "When you know everything one step ahead, even the thoughts and ideas that have not been exposed and will never be exposed, the world is really too gloomy and boring. I wouldn't have done that. I only know that Guo Yingying's choice to do this is mostly beneficial to us. That distribution was made by a special meeting of the GDI Global Federation, and even if our supporters weren't there to dominate, they wouldn't have been able to leave Overmars alone, just wait. β
"If that's the case, I can't figure out Xiao Guo's thoughts anymore." Hongxiang said suspiciously: "Running to brew with Overmars, giving them more equipment, even swallowing the belt bones, leaving only some scum for us, isn't it good for them and for him personally?" β
"The bird's ambition?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course, you are a narrow-minded commoner, and you can't understand the ambition and demeanor of the knightly world. β
"Phew, I'm a noble ****, you're an authentic Riba person!"
Situ Jianghai couldn't stop coughing to warn the two of us again. Every time this kind of high-ranking general is held, the generals of the two sides, Leilondo and Overmars, sit on one side, and Overmars sits first. I used to sit like this when I wasn't promoted to a general, and after I was promoted, I didn't bother to add a seat next to Overmars, so I still sat like this. But it is easy to chat with Hongxiang when sitting like this, which seems very undignified. I saw that the line and the tea were almost ready, and I caught a glimpse of Overmars staring at this side all the time and his face was dark, and finally he made a color to Hongxiang in a playful way, and closed his mouth. When he saw that we were quiet, he immediately said, "Meeting." β
Guo Yingying first read out the detailed rules for the distribution of spoils formulated by the GDI Global Federation. This time, he brought with him three Naito's version of the modern class, ten strong battleships, thirty-five cruisers, and two hundred and sixty frigates. As I expected, the Ovimas fleet got a little more, but it was not overwhelming. We have one modern-class, six battleships, fifteen cruisers, and one hundred and fifty frigates, plus ships that are under repair and hopefully repaired, to make one planetary attack fleet and two planetary guard fleets. Overmars, on his side, was able to assemble almost three planetary attack fleets and two planetary guard fleets. Compared to the 1:10 ratio of our fleet strength before the expedition, this change in ratio is quite striking.
Ovimas was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart, and this emotion was clearly written on his face. If Guo Yingying listens to him and goes down with him to brew all night, the final plan will definitely be that they eat meat and we drink soup, and it would be good to be able to share half of the strength of the planetary guard fleet. When the generals heard the distribution plan, they thought about what position they could occupy, and they couldn't help discussing it in private, and only me, Overmars, Hongxiang and Guo Yingying didn't care about these things, and quietly measured each other's expressions and moods with ghosts in their hearts.
The four of us were silent for a while, until the voices of the generals below had a small meeting gradually lowered, and Ovimas spoke: "Guo, your transportation mission has been completed. If nothing else, let's just break up and rest. Although there is not calm in space, it is necessary to come up with a plan for a new fleet as soon as possible, and there is no rush at this time. Let's talk about it after the break. β
Guo Yingying spoke with Ovimas's ugly face: "Your Excellency, the lower official still has something to report. β
Overmars stopped talking, and I knew that he wanted to scold him on the spot, and it was not easy to endure it until now. In order to take care of the image of the leadership team of the expeditionary fleet in unity and progress, I took the initiative to say for him: "What's the situation? It's rare for everyone to get together, so let's take this opportunity to convey it all. You've worked hard all the way, you've traveled 300,000 light-years in the past year, and you're the first person on a human expedition. If you have any interesting anecdotes, or if you like a celebrity who wants us to help you talk about it, you can say it. β
The generals below laughed, and even Overmars smiled meaningfully. Guo Yingying scratched his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this, it has nothing to do with it, it has nothing to do with it at all, I mean, the changes on the main star." β
"We receive information briefings every day, but that's not enough." I nodded and said, "There are many things that cannot be reflected in the briefing, or some people deliberately do not allow them to be reflected. Only those who have been there in person can appreciate the mystery more deeply. How do you feel, tell me. β
"Although." Overmars finally spoke.
Guo Yingying coughed, looked around at the generals on both sides, and said solemnly: "The situation is not optimistic, and the anti-war sentiment is strong. β
Simba snorted lightly and said, "What is there to worry about about the emotions of the ant people? β
"It's not that simple." Guo Yingying took a deep breath and said, "We have been away from the main star for too long, and there have been huge changes there. It's not quite earth-shattering, but it's far from where we left. The first is the political structure. As we all know, as early as the early sixties, there was a local trend of democratization. Although the democratization of the government was halted and replaced by the ****** of local GDIs due to the Phantom War, the idea of democratization did not stop with it, but grew rapidly. β
"That's just a frenzy to be taken advantage of." Overmars chimed in: "When Adams's grandson ran to Samsung, didn't he advocate this? Speaking of which, the Earth Council or something is just another vest for their grandchildren. The outer skin is changed from one to the other, and the contents of the inside have not changed in any way. β
I also chimed in: "I know what kind of democratic reform they are sneaking into, but I haven't had time to care about it, and in my opinion, it's just a trick to change the soup and not the medicine." β
"The system has changed a lot, but the most important thing is that the people's will is now one-sided." Guo Yingying said solemnly: "What's worse is that maybe someone with ill intentions deliberately pushed it, and the people's evaluation of our expeditionary force is terrible. β
I know most of the things mentioned in Guo Yingying's report, and Ovimars also knows that we all have public briefings and private reports from his rear subordinates, and his report is more about his own views on these matters, and he gives a lesson in the political situation to those generals who don't care about politics. Of course, there are also many unheard news, that is, Guo Yingying's experience as a witness.
During the period when I was trapped in the southern capital of the country and the GDI, the GDI of the two countries in the West were secretly tinkering with some conspiracies. The trend of democratization is also on the rise. But it was an event that I indirectly caused the decisive change: the global power campaign and the Atlantic City march.
In the aftermath of that incident, the idea of democratization suddenly erupted and swept the world, seemingly breaking free from all shackles. The ****** of the GDI were disbanded one after another, putting power in the hands of the people......
Is it so good that the interest class voluntarily gives up power?
Of course there is, and rightfully so! Because the trend of democratic thought has swept the world, the people have completely awakened overnight, and have developed a strong desire to pursue an advanced social system and way of life, which has quickly condensed into a tremendous force......
This kind of talk is published in newspapers and magazines to deceive idiots, and sadly, many people with IQs far above average are happy to see this kind of thing. Everyone wants to see themselves become the masters of the world overnight, and become a part of the dominant world, even if the process is absurd.
The first pilot of democratization began in the four major countries at the same time, and it took only one week to complete the **** of the whole people! As a result of the election, the GDI chiefs of the four major countries all received more than 90% of the vote, won the title of president of the local council, and were given the power to appoint members of the democratic government. Of course, the most suitable person for the head of government is the speaker himself, and everyone knows this.
After the election, Han Han sent me a letter in which he briefly said: "Everyone has become democrats and elected politicians. But it's none of your business, stay on the front lines. β
Indeed, at this time, the democratization on the main planet was nothing more than a farce with the participation of the whole people, and it had no practical significance for our front-line officers and soldiers, but what happened after that gradually infiltrated our world. Half a year later, the GDI Global Federation and the Earth Council (with the same membership) released a Hukou and Voter Registration System. Because democratization has been carried out, it must be democratized by the whole people, and many of the messes and controversies that GDI has ripped off in the past have to be resolved by this kind of monster policy that is not a law but has legal effect. In addition to delineating many controversial issues of election eligibility on the main planet, this system also extends to space.
Samsung has always been an outsider and does not have the qualifications of an independent national administrative entity. The "system" also does not recognize Samsung as having the qualifications to vote at the level of an independent state, and only assigns Samsung the status of a provincial-level special administrative region. And the number of people who have the right to vote in this special administrative region is very small, and 90% of the people on Samsung are currently disqualified, and only pure native residents under the "Samsung Macanese Law" are so eligible. According to this line, among the many high-ranking officers of Leilondo, only 12 people led by Basque Bing were qualified, so he was naturally elected Speaker of Leirondo, and the remaining 11 Arhats occupied the key positions of the democratic government stipulated in the "Registration System". As a complement to democracy, some local tycoons such as the Basque Gui have also taken advantage of the situation to gain some innocuous positions of power.
However, now that it is a democratic society, it is impossible to pay attention to fairness, justice and openness, and it is absolutely impossible to casually make people into star outcasts like GDI did a few decades ago, and the remaining 90% of the population on Samsung is also a natural person who enjoys natural human rights, and these hundreds of thousands of people should also enjoy the right to vote and to be elected. The Earth Council has cleverly solved this problem: according to the nationality before the three stars, the place of birth prevails in case of disputes. This has a huge advantage: every three years, 90% of the people on Samsung have to return to their home planet to cast their sacred vote (because mail-in ballots and online voting are not allowed). Even if more than half of the population voluntarily renounces the sacred right to vote because of poor political acumen, natural laziness, and inability to pay the high cost of travel, there is still a small and half of the progressive groups of at least 100,000 people who have to embark on a democratic journey that tosses back and forth every three years for 190 light years.
After the promulgation of this policy, a great strange thing happened to Samsung: the governors of the three planets, Titus, Naoki Nao, and Hanko Naito, were not native to Samsung, and could not be the speaker of the local council! Fortunately, this place is a military-run society, and the democrats have not yet seriously invaded it. In the first election, everyone went through the motions with a smile and a smile, and the natives elected a parliament and a speaker, who then appointed their boss as the head of government. Speaking of which, it is a second show in front of the main star election supervisory committee. Among them, Adams's election was the most ridiculous: the initial garrison there was only about 100 people, and after the great development, all of them went to the main star, and only eight people in total could be regarded as natives, so they had to form a very small parliament, everyone was a permanent chief councilor, and the speaker took turns to sit in the bank - then there would be no need to elect again, and a large amount of election advertising and election expenses would be saved, and a great deal of glory would be added to the vigorous development of the economy and logistics.
The Peranakan election on Samsung has caused a miasma, and everyone thinks it's a big April Fool's Day. But for senior cadres and generals, the election has become a source of division. Because the "system" has been clearly stipulated: Samsung is only three special provincial-level small special administrative regions, no matter how much they toss, they are entertaining themselves, and they have no right to interfere in the world's major affairs. And everyone except the natives is only there for work, that's all. Everyone's right to vote and to be elected is on the ground, so please come down and fight for it.
In the 71 by-election, both Hanhan and Naoki Naoki won the chief seat in the parliament of the country, and Titus changed his nationality to Europe because he recognized his ancestors when he saved New Rome, and this time directly won the position of vice president of the European Parliament. I haven't received a decent report on the causes and consequences of this supplementary election, but after the dust settled, Hanhan, Nagao and Titus jointly signed a very low-key letter, saying: "This may be a conspiracy of the main star to divide and disintegrate the three-star political system composed of almost all immigrants from all over the world, but it also gives us the opportunity to enter the main star, we will uphold our original intention and make a difference, please understand our choice." β
After listening to my interjected explanation, Overmars said with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say this to me earlier? β
I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't you understand, can we lead the soldiers back and tie them up hand and foot?" At that time, we were in the sky over Nebuchu and were undecided, what could we do? β
Overmars sighed rarely: "That's right, that envoy with a bad attitude, presumably it is because of these factors that he is so arrogant." β
Because the process of democratization is a glorious path of development, change and gradual improvement, it is certainly imperfect and flawed at the beginning. But even the most flawed democracy is stronger than the original GDI hegemony! In order to make democracy more thorough and perfect, and let the concept of democracy penetrate into the hearts of thousands of households, a year later, an "Election Law" was produced, which stipulated that the second **** would be carried out in September 73.
Ovimars pointed out sharply: "No matter what the method is chosen, as long as people do not change, the essence of things will not change." β
"They're getting more sophisticated." "I've heard a lot of inside information that Speaker Adams is going to retire, and in addition, the GDI will transfer a lot of power to the Earth Council and the local councils, itself will be streamlined into a purely military body," Guo said. There are even rumors that the 'government will manage the army' and separate the GDI from the military and make it a separate intelligence unit. No, if you do that, it's nothing. β
"GDI is fifty years old, and I don't believe they're going to do that." Overmars said categorically.
I took a deep breath and sighed: "If the poor strength has reached the point where it is really impossible to control this organization, it is understandable to simply break it and set up a new stage to sing, and put us aside to watch the play." Hero, you go on. β
"I got the inside scoop on the list of the next speaker." Guo Yingying said: "Nandu must be from Tan Kang's family, and it is not clear who it is." Europe is said to be very probable in Titus. There is no definite news about Kazuo, but it is said that Hojo Kamakura summoned several important people such as Naito, Kamei, and Nagao for several days, and it may be among these people. β
"Where did you hear about pheasants, hero?" Hongxiang made a murmur: "The housekeeper's wife followed Huang and made Heguo miserable, can they still tolerate her?" β
"Hero, is the source valid?" I also laughed: "When is the main star now, between March of July and 3, right?" There is still half a year before the election, and the election results are out, so it seems that the research on time jump has made great progress. β
The generals below burst into laughter again. Guo Yingying also laughed helplessly, and suddenly said: "Everyone, we are all soldiers, and it stands to reason that we should not worry too much and participate in politics." But what I saw this time made me quite worried. Even if they engage in a hypocritical democratic puppet show, they have succeeded in deceiving almost all the people. Therefore, the popularity of the people that they occupy will be a big headache for us. Once the people awaken, even if they were only awakened in a state of sleepwalking, it would be extremely dangerous and costly to try to beat them back to their original shape. This means that it will be difficult for us to do whatever we want, as we have done before, to get what we want with military might. Although some of our rear generals and senior cadres have joined the so-called democratic parliament and government, I am more worried that their position will be eroded, shaken, or even betrayed by that huge and rotten political machine. β
Suddenly, there was silence in the conference room. After a while, Hongxiang was the first to break the silence: "Hero, are you talking too seriously?" β
Overmars also opened his eyes, stared at Guo Yingying with blazing eyes, and said: "GDI has quietly handed over power from the left hand to the right hand in the name of democracy, erasing the original political status of our expeditionary soldiers, and we are only left with the military power that they give and can veto at any time - but these are just your speculations, is there any actual evidence?" β
I was not willing to be lonely and said: "The Expeditionary Fleet General Headquarters is discussing the proposal for the withdrawal of the command core, and your information will be decisive in this regard, so please be cautious in your speech." β
Guo Yingying looked at me, stopped talking for two more rounds, and finally said, "I won't explain." The specific situation may only be understood by the person concerned when he returns to the ground to experience it for himself, and my personal opinion naturally cannot be used as evidence. But there are already some changes that directly affect us, and we must not ignore them. β
At this point he stopped. After waiting for half a minute, Hongxiang finally shouted: "Hero, don't sell it, say it." β
"I went back to see Xiao Dai this time." Guo Yingying suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile: "He has a girlfriend and is about to get married." β
Although it was not appropriate to talk about this kind of affair at a formal meeting where high-ranking generals gathered, everyone was very familiar with each other, and as soon as they heard the news, everyone in the room screamed. Hongxiang pinched his fingers and calculated, nodded and said: "The eagle hook nose has passed the year of establishment, and it is time to start a family, but although the fame is great, the merit will inevitably be built less, but it is a pity!" What about his wife? β
Guo Yingying nodded and said, "It's beautiful, and it's good to be a person." I went to his house once, and he now has a small house, a pond and a lawn, and a dog, and he is very happy. β
Below was another single general's jealous of Dai Jiangnan's whining shouts, and the two unscrupulous jokes about Chen Xiangda, and the solemn atmosphere was swept away. Even Overmars couldn't help but smile and said, "One year on the expedition, he has been separated from us for three years, I really don't know what has become of him now." But that's all you want to say about the big change? β
Guo Yingying shook his head, and before he could speak, Chen Xiangda suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Chief of Staff Guo, are you sure?" The soldiers of the vulture fortress were assigned to him by myself, there are only a dozen female soldiers in total, and all of them look like dominatrix, where can he find a beautiful girlfriend in Jiangnan? Unless it's a war correspondent on the ground who runs and is detained by him and doesn't let it back, right? β
"I'm going to see him in Nandu." Guo Yingying said: "What I want to tell you here is that he also became a member of the Huaxia Parliament in the by-election in 71 years, and compared with all of us, he has a little political status in advance. β
"Keep talking, finish talking." Overmars said.
"After the by-election, the Earth Council issued a military adjustment bill and formed a working committee of the outer space defense circle. Not to mention the laymen and inconsequential who occupy the seats, and among those who are close to them, the three governors of the three stars are among them, and it seems that they have not kicked us away. But there is another very inappropriate person who has also joined in, and I believe everyone understands that this person has had quite an unhappy relationship with His Excellency Huang Er, and the relationship is complicated......"
"This seat has offended people all over the mountains, but it is worth mentioning that it has to be Asano Yugali." I smiled wryly and said, "I didn't know about it." β
"Because of those past events, I believe it is difficult for us to expect this person to represent our interests." Guo Yingying said lightly: "This is exactly where I feel anxious, the three governors did not show the courage they should have to stop her. Is it because two of them are from the same country as her? This is just my conjecture. The fact is that the first thing this council did was to remove the commander of the vulture fortress in the south of Dai Jiangnan and the purely symbolic patrol fleet we left there. β
"What!" Overmars's voice immediately rose an octave: "Why didn't I know about it at all?!" He immediately turned his head to look at me, trying to see the scheming on my face. Equally shocked, I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Don't look at me, I'm surprised enough today." There are a lot of people left behind on both sides of us, and they don't even know the news......"
"After the Vulture Fortress fleet was withdrawn, our communications with the rear were replaced by someone else who was dispatched." Guo Yingying said: "So at this point, we are beyond reproach with the people in the rear, even if they want to reveal any information to us, I am afraid they will be powerless." β
Overmas asked, "Is it just the removal of the Vulture Fortress?" Samsung hasn't moved? β
"There are no major changes at Samsung, maybe there have been changes and we don't know." Guo Yingying looked at Lei Longdo's ugly face and said, "But something new has appeared...... Our number is the Human Space Fleet. But seventy-one years later, the number was quietly added with the word 'first'. However, this statement is not used in our correspondence and is therefore unknown to us. β
There was a deathly silence. Guo Yingying looked left and right and saw that no one took over, so he had to take it himself: "The number of the Second Space Fleet has been compiled for a year or two. Not only have we lost our original political status because of this democratic reform, but we are also in jeopardy in our military position of dominating the world. β
"Is this Second Fleet so powerful?" Wang Lei made a questioning voice: "If it is when we are the weakest, maybe it is still possible. But now...... By the way, have you thought about it, it is a contradiction, if this second fleet against us is really established, why do they still give us a supplementary fleet? β
"It is not surprising that it has taken a lot of effort to replenish the fleet, and public opinion tends to provide us with the necessary reinforcements in order to suppress the threat of Feria in the farthest places." Overmars shook his head and said, "But I still don't understand, they are too generous to give us a supplementary fleet, do they believe in the strength of the Second Fleet so much?" Guo, have you visited the Second Fleet? β
"The fleet was highly secretive, and I didn't get permission to visit it, and I didn't have access to the materials."
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but change color on their faces. The chief of staff of the expeditionary fleet, Guo Yingying, who had the rank of admiral, was treated like this - although he was given a supplementary fleet, his unfriendly attitude was so obvious! Guo Yingying smiled bitterly and said, "I can't care so much!" After all, our strength is meager now, and we are counting on them to give reinforcements, so we can suffer some losses. I didn't have anything personallyβbut in the end I got what I wanted, and I saw some Second Fleet ships. β
As he spoke, he pulled out a mo-from his bag and slipped it into the demo machine. A not very clear radar wave image immediately appeared on the projection screen.
"After arriving at the fleet, on the way back to the Zenith Gate, I have been escorted by these stealth warships from afar. Seems afraid that I will stay in the three stars and the big cross even for a minute! Guo Yingying explained: "To be honest, that woman is obsessed with power and scheming, but she is really an idiot in the military, and she can't listen to good advice. I believe that her subordinates will not have a deputy with a little common sense, but she still made such a clumsy stalking. Exposing her strength in advance is definitely not a good thing for her. But it allows us to prepare early. This image is not very clear, but we always insisted on using the array radar to turn on the camera along the way, and we got a lot of material. On the way back, I finally used a computer to analyze the entire shape. Below is a 3D modeling. β
Displayed on the screen is a battleship with a rather peculiar shape. It is only more than sixty meters long, barely worthy of the level of a frigate. However, it has a large disc with a very incongruous top, and the head protrudes from a protrusion of nearly twenty meters in diameter, about one meter in diameter, which looks quite like the giant bayonet spear of a medieval European knight.
There was silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at the strange battleship in silence. I don't know much about space military, but in my experience as a military enthusiast for more than ten years, I don't have the impression that such an ugly guy exists. Seeing that everyone was so serious, he couldn't help laughing, trying to break the stiff atmosphere: "What an ugly thing." β
Overmars coughed and said, "It's not surprising that you didn't learn this. This is a warship that is purely used for space operations, and there is no requirement to enter the atmosphere when it is designed, so there is no need to consider aerodynamics, and theoretically as long as it can be balanced, it can be made into any shape. Ladies and gentlemen, do you see anything famous? β
"It's just a frigate -- 'very ugly' in the words of His Excellency Huang Er." Chen Xiangda frowned and said, "I have worked in the Fleet Equipment Bureau for many years, but I have never heard of it. In the sequence of concept ships that are purely combat-oriented, there is absolutely no such one. β
"Not really." Hongxiang shook his head and said: "Everyone is not a layman, let's talk about it, who has seen or heard of this kind of ugly goods before?" β
Everyone looked at each other, and after a long while, they all shook their heads. Situ Jianghai said: "It seems that everyone has never heard of this kind of thing, and it doesn't seem to be a powerful thing, so it's even more puzzling." They just built such a thing, and then so generously gave us a bunch of modern class and strong battleships? Could it be that Asano Yugali deliberately sent a scum force to confuse us? β
Wang Lei nodded and said, "There is also such a possibility." β
"If you want to confuse us, so far away, and deliberately invisible?" Guo Yingying shook his head and said, "I don't think that woman is that smart. Since we can't analyze the model, we might as well discuss what the special shape of this kind of thing means and what are its special uses? β
"The one on top is an array radar, so there's no need to discuss it. The works of Naito Electronics Company in the past six or three years can be seen at a glance. Hongxiang shrugged and said, "It's more advanced than what we have now, but what's the use of installing it on a frigate?" Unless it is an improved Omi-class type, how can there be so much engine power to drive...... Hey? β
He looked at it carefully, sat back and shook his head and said, "It can't be the Omi-class improved type, it's too ugly." β
"Omi-class...... Antimatter Engine ......" Song Chunlei, who had not interjected much, suddenly stood up and shouted, "I understand!" β
Everyone turned their eyes to him in unison, which made the young Xiao Song a little embarrassed. I nodded and said, "What came to mind, though, today was supposed to be a brainstorming session." β
"This must be the so-called 'ons killer'!"
As soon as I saw the understanding expressions of most of the people in the room, except for me, I knew it was bad again. The human space fleet (now the "first" space fleet), which originated from the three-star fleet, most of them were born in the north from generals to pilots. Once they talk about those allusions in school, outsiders will listen to them as if they were listening to a book from heaven. At this time, I realized how wrong it was for me not to recruit a few more people from the Southern Kingdom Academy to talk about the ancients. Fortunately, Hongxiang immediately sensed my embarrassment, coughed and said, "I'll explain it to you." Beifei's older generation is very familiar with this allusion, but there are many people who don't know anything or only know a thing or two. Xiao Song still listened to me at the seminar after the simulated battle. β
It seems that Overmars also belongs to the group of unknowns, he nodded, and Guo Yingying also smiled: "I don't know, Taro, tell me about it." β
"Actually, most people here know the meaning of 'ons'." Hongxiang showed a malicious look: "It's onenightstand, the meaning of one-night stand." It seems that this concept was put forward in Dai Jiangnan's time, but it was only a concept. Foolish men and women in society understand that one-night stands come inexplicably and go without a trace. Where law and order are not good, there are some perverts who kill people after engaging in these things, and are called 'ons killers'. This tactic is very similar to the situation of the ONS, which uses camouflage, falsehood, or stealth to sneak in, deliver a fatal blow, and then quietly leave. β
"The way perverted prostitutes kill people, the user has degraded himself to the level of a prostitute." I snorted and asked, "Then what about it, why have I never heard of anyone discussing it?" β
"It's not practical." Hongxiang said: "In real life, this kind of thing can only be done by high-level killers, and there are often misses. In space warfare, how can the distance and attack range of thousands of kilometers be achieved in concealed approach? At that time, there was no weapon that could kill with one blow and protect oneself without worry, so everyone discussed it and thought that there was no possibility of large-scale use at all, so they left it alone. The result of my research with Xiao Song at that time was that it could be used to carry out assassination attacks on enemy head ships in very unfavorable battle conditions, but such targets were often highly alert and heavily armoured, and it was impossible to select a warship that could carry out this tactic from among the existing ships. As for suicide attacks, it's a different story, completely different from this tactic. β
"You're saying that this weird warship can do what you call the 'Ons Killer' tactic?" Overmars frowned and said, "I almost understand who this tactic is for, but how can it achieve this special attack tactic?" β
Song Chunlei got up and walked to the projection screen, pointed to the screen and said: "The specific data, we can only understand the physical battleship or the design drawing, but I think we can guess it almost the same." This disc, as Lord Kim said, must be the Naito 63 type array radar. The protrusions on the ribs are somewhat similar to the design of the Omi-class, and I suspect that the Omi-class plasma fuel tank design is used, and a small antimatter engine is used. This long-mouthed ......"
He paced back and forth a few times, looked up, and said categorically, "I don't think you can be wrong, Armstrong Cannon!" β
"What?!" I immediately bounced out of my chair. The faces of the surrounding generals were also horrified. The first horror was for the appearance of this weapon; After less than three seconds, it became even greater wonder - why was this weapon being used as the main firepower?
"The ultimate range of the Armstrong cannon is only one kilometer, one kilometer!" Ovimas said to Song Chunlei: "You explain to me, what is the use of this one-kilometer range?" Since its discovery, the only thing that can be done about this kind of thing is to demolish buildings and open mines, and it is not even useful as a fixed fortress cannon. With current technology, infantry can carry anti-materiel weapons that outlast its range to destroy it. What is the use of such a thing on a space battleship with a combat distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers? β
"This must be the Armstrong cannon, I dare conclude. What they think, I can't guess right now. But it gives us a message: if you conflict with them, you have to be wary of this kind of thing. After all, the Third Fleet was also caught on the surface by Feria special aircraft, causing huge casualties with beams. β
"That's Feria, who has pursued our race in the stars for more than a hundred years. Could the Second Fleet be as strong as Feria? β
"It's an Armstrong cannon, and there's no going wrong with it." Hongxiang spoke out to support Song Chunlei: "Although we can't understand it for a while, we have to pay attention." Everybody understands that they don't make these things for no reason. β
Guo Yingying smiled bitterly: "There is Feria in front and the Second Fleet in the back, although I have received a batch of reinforcements, the situation is not necessarily much better than a few months ago." β
"Eh......" I threw my head up to the ceiling and let out a long, psychopathic scream.
"The situation is unique, but there is no rush to draw conclusions now." Overmars had no choice but to put me aside and say, "That's all for today, let's go down and discuss it, and we'll meet again tomorrow morning to decide what to do." (To be continued.) )
