When Samsung and the people of the Earth circle gradually woke up from the ecstasy of victory, how to continue next became the focus of discussion on the streets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEven those of us at Samsung can feel the horror of public opinion gradually getting out of control from the frenzied militaristic frenzy that is flooding the online press. When contacted by Tan Kang, he also complained that he had encountered unprecedented difficulties in controlling the press and publication. Now the fanaticism does not only exist in the disgruntled youth community, and even many senior leaders of GDI are permeated with the view of "quick victory". What about after a quick win? Divide up the enemy's property and live the life of a drunken gold fan that I have been looking forward to since I fought the fantasy world......

What's the difference between those overly obscene ideas and the fantasy strategy of three years ago?

To this, Titus was unsparing in his criticism: "This proves the decay of social morality as a whole." The increase in the strength of the space military has created a false sense of security, but it has not had any positive effect on improving the backwater society. ”

In addition to the news of the victory, the liaison boat of the expeditionary fleet also brought an important piece of information: after the expeditionary fleet captured the vulture fortress, it found a large number of Feria documents inside. Although it will take some time to decipher the work, it is already certain that it must contain a star map from the three-star Zenith Gate to the base camp of Feria. The main star who learns this must decide what to do next as soon as possible. After exploring the star map, whether to build a strong defensive fortress in the Zenith-Shuofang galaxy, or continue to march into the depths of the universe - it is conceivable that there must have been disagreements within the expeditionary force about this. Otherwise, Ovimas would not have made such a statement in the report, "Where to go, please ask the Global Federation to instruct".

GDI is quite inefficient. Matters that cannot be decided by the expeditionary force are even more difficult to draw conclusions if they are thrown here. This issue is not only a military one, but has become a political one. The GDI Global Federation, the bosses of the four powers behind the fleets, and the factions in the fleets that existed a decade ago and are now more pronounced...... There are all sorts of struggles.

In his letter to me, Hongxiang complained that there was a lot of quarrel in the army, but fortunately, everyone still knew the minimum of proportion, and did not draw the people who read the Feria documents into the faction to quarrel. When those star charts come out, it is estimated that it will be even more noisy.

In this battle, he was at the rear, and Overmars nominally asked him, a young and promising man, to hold on to the last line of defense of mankind in the universe, "to hold the last hope of mankind and retain the last fire". The actual result was that he did not fire a single shot in this operation, and he did not make an inch. Hongxiang, who did not participate in the tug-of-war of the vulture fortress, inexplicably got the nickname "Commander of the Cabbage Green Worm", and gave the ill-intentioned people with words like "We are all Chinese, and the boss of Nandu is watching us from behind", Dong Laxi pulled his greed and went in to quarrel twice, and found that those who had fought were simply unusual, and it seemed that his temper had grown for fifty years after a battle - even Han Zeng, a declining commodity who usually saw him nodding and waisting, dared to point his nose and scold him for being a "fake mud stick devil". Although he quickly apologized afterwards, Hongxiang held a grudge and never went to the Asahi officers' salon to participate in those meaningless quarrels. Only send a few particularly rude laymen such as Kreuzer King Qilu to fight with those guys.

Moreover, there is the news of the death of Kuibyshev. The news was deliberately downplayed, and the various media outlets were greeted by the press control department with a request not to report until a detailed investigation had been concluded. As a result, the "exclusive battle reports" launched by various media lacked the documentary of the Kuibyshev fleet, and when it was time to mention it, it was confused. But that can't be hidden, and it's only a matter of time before the truth is exposed.

In order to discuss these issues, the GDI Global Federation held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee and invited me to attend. I knew that the young man was inferior and powerful, so I just sat on the side, dozed off, and waited for the big guys to argue. They also have the energy, basking in the sun on the beach in Hawaii for half a day, and having meetings for half a month. Fortunately, only five days have passed on the side of the expeditionary force, and it is not too delayed. But that's not all, they didn't quarrel at all. The final battle even dragged me into it - John. Adams personally asked:

"Your Excellency Huang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

I replied without raising my head: "The lower officials can wait for the leaders to discuss the results and implement them conscientiously." ”

Chairman Adams coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, Your Excellency, you are waiting for your opinion. After all, although you are young, you are the only three-star veteran here, and you know a lot more about the specific situation over there than we do, so tell me your personal opinion. ”

"The star map has not yet been deciphered, and we still have time to carefully study the specific star strategy." I looked up and looked around, but I saw the gaze of Nagisa Naiqun on the stage, and quickly turned my gaze to the side, saying, "The lower official thinks that the top priority is to find out the truth about the martyrdom of His Excellency Kuibyshev. As far as I know, expensive modern class is not such a fragile thing. His Excellency Zhang Ning's ship was also surrounded by enemy special attack planes, but only a small number of soldiers working on the outermost layer were burned by the rays, and the injuries were not serious, and they did not even need to be sent back to the three stars for recuperation. ”

"Oh, your opinion is very constructive......" Adams heard me say those things, and immediately tried to turn to the side, but I refused to let him go—how could there be any reason to open my mouth and close my mouth when I wanted? I stood up and said aloud, "This matter is related to the overall reputation of the internal management of the Space Fleet. The Cabinet calls for the immediate establishment of a special investigative body to investigate the matter. The Cabinet is willing to contribute to this matter. ”

For a moment, the room fell silent. All kinds of surprise, suspicion, resentment, and "this kid doesn't know what to do" came to me silently from all directions. However, half a month ago, I publicly claimed to be the "first person in the reality of the space fleet" and did not receive any substantive punishment, but I was still arrogant and self-reliant, and I was proud of all directions. Adams on the stage finally lost his breath, and the corner of his eye swept the faces of many people on and off the stage, and finally exhaled and said, "This matter is to be discussed." ”

It is enough to be discussed. A lot of times, that's just a fig leaf. Of course, old Adams wants to stay in the middle and drag it over to count, but I am far from the only one who wants to take advantage of this matter, and the pressure from all sides will naturally surge towards him from all sides. Sure enough, early the next morning, the correspondent sent me a letter of appointment for the Special Investigation Team from the GDI Global Federation, asking me to take immediate action. I also know that they don't want to see me again after eating my gunpowder yesterday, and I don't want to see them yet!

Pack up your bags and quickly return to Leilondo. Yukari Asano was also in the crowd to pick him up. Fortunately, there were a lot of idle people waiting, and she didn't make any shocking moves, but just said to me: "I'll take my car later, and I have something to say to you." ”

After getting in the car and leaving the airport, she spoke: "Why didn't you discuss that with me in advance?" ”

"Didn't you claim to have nothing to do with me?" I replied coldly.

"It's okay? It doesn't matter, it won't work so hard for you. Asano sighed lightly, "Know why Adams agreed to your request?" I looked for him, but he didn't want to give face. It was I who fought hard that he agreed to let you try it. ”

"Thank you very much." I smiled and turned to look at her, "You've done me a great favor." ”

"If only you could know it." Asano shrugged his shoulders and suddenly asked, "Do you like any sports?" ”

"Oh, I used to play soccer in elementary school, but it was terrible. Later, he got into a few fights and was permanently expelled. ”

"Then I think you can recognize that." Asano said, "When I first came on the court, I always wanted to kick the ball out with all my strength. But that can be done quickly, but it will never achieve the goal of winning. It also has to pay attention to skill and overall strength. However, strength alone is not enough. To a certain extent, there will be some off-site activities. ”

"I understand what you're saying. Although I want to solve all problems with strength, it is just a dream in this filthy society. I nodded, gently shook her hand and said, "Then I'll leave the off-field questions to you." When everything is settled, I will return to you as the commander of the entire fleet in the rear. ”

"Is it just that?" Asano looked at me with a slight sneer.

I smiled faintly and said, "Other things, when everything inside and outside the field is calmed down and the fruits of victory are obtained, the melon will be ripe and will naturally be established." ”

Although the position of this special investigation team is temporary, its power is not small. As long as I am good-tempered enough, I have the power to report directly to any of the officials below Adams without prior instructions. We have conducted discipline inspections and are well aware of the asymmetrical clauses in them - according to human rights organizations, every single case in our GDI investigation is a serious violation of human rights. However, if it is really necessary to investigate the case in accordance with the law of human rights, it is estimated that none of the senior cadres will be able to investigate it. In this regard, the protection of broad human rights is absolutely contradictory to the rights and interests of the broadest masses of citizens. For this reason, in February '65, the GDI Global Military Tribunal issued a special internal judicial interpretation, saying that all GDI members voluntarily gave up some of their human rights when they entered the organization, and that the GDI Discipline Inspection Organization was naturally not bound by human rights laws when conducting investigations. Fortunately, the majority of the people are more willing to see the bad luck of GDI officials, and this explanation is basically unquestioned, and it has slowly become an iron law. According to this kind of clause, it is okay for me Huang to just want to pass on the chief of Zhu Naiqun to drink tea. And after the big guy came, I couldn't explain the answer I wanted, so I didn't want to leave - this is theoretical. How long they will have to stay before they leave is directly proportional to the amount of evidence and the amount of courage I have.

Since I am armed with such a powerful chicken feather arrow, I have the duty to launch a threat. Basque Bing didn't help me with my work, and privately made rumors about me everywhere: "Huang Er was idle for three whole years, and finally found something to do." Although the birdman's words are ugly, they are not far from the truth. It's really rare for me to find something like this that I'm passionate about being involved in. Not only did Han Han, the de facto governor of Leilondo, suspend me from participating in the investigation, but even Titus recalled Leilondo to participate in the investigation and evidence collection work together.

There are too many aspects involved in this matter, every party and every side are bigwigs, and the person who led the investigation is of a low level, and he definitely can't even ask a fart. When they heard about the staffing of my investigation team, they reacted strongly. It is said that Chairman Adams was having lunch at the time, and when he heard about it, he accidentally dropped his fork to the ground, and sighed: "Huang and this is too exciting, right?" ”

In less than a week, Titus and Han Han each completed the scope of their own investigation, synthesized the materials, and sent them to me for instructions on the next step. After reading their findings, I almost turned my back on the spot. I never expected the scope of this matter, the number of people, the complexity of the organization, and the ridiculous simplicity of the beginning.

This matter has to start from the night of the March 1 rebellion. In '68, the GDI planned to equip the Overmars fleet with 10 strong battleships and 5 modern-class ships, but due to disputes along the way, by the time of the August 301 rebellion, this plan was less than half completed. The Hyundai-class No. 2 ship continued to have problems during trial operation, constantly going back and forth between the overhaul plant on Earth and the minor repair plant on the moon; The Hyundai-class No. 3 ship began to rip off during the assembly, and it seems that it will not be able to leave the factory at all. As compensation, at that time, Overmars assigned the best of the ships in place, the "Laputa", to Dai Jiangnan, a genius general who looked forward to the modern class day and night.

However, during the suppression of the rebellion, the Laputa was severely damaged and concealed in an attempt to repair it in secret. But he's not a person like me who has a direct planet, a mineral belt and a direct connection with the boss of the Southern Capital, just a squadron commander under the Overmars fleet, and his interpersonal relationships are basically in the three-star circle. It is simply impossible to secretly repair the Laputa with scraps without reporting it to Overmars and asking for money.

In the face of Overmars's inspection that could come at any time, Dai Jiangnan finally got dizzy and came up with the second stupid idea after the Battle of Warsaw. He dismantled the Hyundai-class No. 3 ship, which he had obtained through arduous efforts and political struggles, and wanted to use this kind of debunk to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to solve his urgent needs. However—now I can learn that it was Yukari Asano, who hated him, who was secretly plotted—he was sued by the intelligence agent of the GDI of Wakoku, and he is still in confinement and suspension for reflection. The Laputa was not repaired, and the Hyundai-class No. 3 ship was dismantled. Unfortunately, after the dismantling, it was not repaid - the estimated cost of restoration engineering at that time was 40 million......

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Such an expensive thing really can't be tossed around, tossing and tossing will always come to your head." ”

The Hyundai-class No. 3 ship was so miserable and miserable that it was parked in the maintenance plant of the moon base, becoming an ownerless ship. However, for that unfortunate battleship, the nightmare was not over, it was only the beginning. Two months later, Zhang Ning personally went to the moon to inspect and was furious in the face of the Hyundai-class No. 2 ship, which could not be adjusted well.

As we all know, the modern level of technology is particularly advanced, it is all modular, and it is not difficult to debug. The reason why it can't be adjusted well is that there are always problems with several key modules, and Heguo is unwilling to pay for replacement, and is only willing to take it back for repair. Zhang Ning summoned Naito Heavy Industries on the moon to negotiate, but the other party pushed left and right, and couldn't summon him. Zhang Ning was furious and unwilling to wait for the technical team of Heguo, and ordered the technicians of the lunar base to find a way to remove parts from the paralyzed Hyundai-class No. 3 ship and replace them. After two months of tossing, His Excellency Zhang Ning's Hyundai-class No. 2 ship was finally completed, but Dai Jiangnan's Hyundai-class No. 3 ship had been dismantled to the point where only the skeleton parts and scattered parts of chicken feathers were left.

Rip-off, this is a typical rip-off. The take-off of the No. 2 ship was completely on the pool of blood of the No. 3 ship, which had been stripped of its skin and bones. But people are not as good as heaven, just a few days after the second ship was built, the strategy of marching into the universe came out, and Heguo resumed comprehensive technical support for the modern class. The Hyundai-class construction team personally ran to the moon to see the No. 3 ship, and suddenly fainted a few when they saw it. Granny Zhang's brutal dismantling caused so much trauma to their minds that someone is said to have attempted suicide by disembowelment that night.

Suicide doesn't solve anything. No matter how many technicians are martyred, the work of restoring the No. 3 ship still has to be done. The technicians of Heguo endured the grief in their hearts, and after careful examination, they came to the conclusion that the restoration of the Hyundai-class No. 3 ship would take at least one year and four months, and the cost would be particularly huge. It just so happened that Naito Heavy Industries still had several battleship skeletons on the platform, and instead of doing that, it would be more economical and efficient to use the money to urgently assemble a few strong battleships. But Kuibyshev listened to it and said to Ovimas:

"The last general has been in the starry sky for nearly thirty years, and his hair and beard are gray. This expedition may not be able to return to his hometown and die. As a soldier of the space fleet, it is a lifelong dream to command a super warship and a super fleet like the modern class, and I hope that Your Excellency will fulfill a little wish of a veteran like me. ”

The veteran put on his old qualifications, and what he said was reasonable, and Overmars couldn't refuse, so he sent a message to Heguo through Chairman Adams, which read: Before the space fleet sets out, it must repair the No. 3 ship and complete the assembly and commissioning of the No. 4 ship at any cost and spare no effort, and equip the space fleet with the strongest force. This is the order, we only look at the result!

The tasks assigned by the leaders are naturally simple, but when it comes to the technical level of concrete implementation, it is maddening. Modern technology is too advanced, it is a model project of global cooperation, even in this area of the pioneer and China can not be single-handed, there are many parts of the module to order from China, Europe, the United States. These things are cumbersome, laborious, and low in yield, so they are expensive to build, and often have no alternative use other than to be installed on a modern grade, and there is no other buyer than to sell them to Naito Heavy Industries. Some of these billions of things will naturally not be in stock, and under normal circumstances, orders must be placed more than a year in advance to purchase raw materials for manufacturing according to the order. But the expedition of the space fleet here is imminent......

During those two or three months, Naito Heavy Industries' people really broke their legs. It even had to urgently airlift its own engineering team to help the European Aerospace Manufacturing Corporation work overtime to mine the necessary materials, and provided a credit guarantee of four billion yuan to Banco Nacional Ultramarino. It took a lot of effort to implement the necessary modules on the US and European sides.

China's side has close exchanges with China, and many things are in stock, and there is no big problem if there is no inventory - the GDI of the two countries has always carried out long-term bookkeeping transactions, and there is no need to rush to implement the problem of funds. Therefore, the matter on the Huaxia side was resolved as soon as possible, and after signing two contracts, the Chinese people threw their energy into Europe and the United States. But when they went to Songhu to pick up the goods at the end of November, they found that several important parts were missing!

"What's going on?" The representative of the peace country could not wait to ask.

"According to the order of the chief, starting from November, orders of more than 10 million yuan will not be owed on credit, and must be paid by instant cheque before they can be put into production." An official from Nandu replied: "We have just passed a special budget, and all the money has been invested in Leilondo, so we will have a hard time, and we are tentatively scheduled to implement strict auditing and monetary austerity policies for three years." ”

"Why didn't you let us know sooner?!" The representatives of the peace country wanted to cry without tears.

"I've been informed, you're just a technician, you don't know about it - you didn't pay in time, you went to the Global Federation to coordinate. You know the efficiency over there, and the chief's attitude on this matter is very firm, and the coordination results have not come down now. Anyway, I'm sorry, but that's all I have to offer you right now. ”

The departure date of the Space Fleet was waiting for the factory decision of these two modern classes, but there was such a bird incident! The matter finally got a big deal out of the way, bypassing the contentious GDI Finance Committee and going straight to the Global Federation. Adams really didn't have much capital in his hands, and he couldn't say anything hard in the face of the poor and crazy Nandu deputies, so he had to write empty checks, promising to provide long-term loan guarantees to the World Bank for three consecutive years to support the construction of Nandu, and the premise was that Nandu would drive out these lacking spare parts and deliver them as soon as possible.

Chief Nagisa saw through Adams's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys at a glance, and knew that those were all air-to-air, and then the sentence "organization is also very difficult" was dismissed - GDI was very good at lying on accounts from top to bottom, and Chief Nagisa, who was born at the grassroots level, knew this very well. But Adams spoke, and it was really difficult to refuse directly, so he convened a meeting of experts and responsible persons from all walks of life, and asked to try to cut down the large order that was equivalent to free manufacturing as much as possible, to the extent that it would have the least impact on the economy of Nandu.

After listening to Chief Zhu's request, Financial Secretary Yan Kwong-chung immediately stood up and spoke without raising his hand:

"The smallest, what do you mean by the smallest? We've already given Lerondo a lot of money. None of the items in this list are less than 20 million, and we are asked to pay any of them, so don't think about paying holiday fees during the Spring Festival in 69, and you won't have a penny! ”

While the bigwigs have some gray income and secret subsidies, and it may not be impossible to collapse without the holiday expenses, for the hundreds of thousands of GDI employees and the local officials, police, prison officers and firefighters who currently receive the GDI treasury, it is equivalent to the collapse of the sky. As a senior leader, I have to consider what kind of disastrous results this fact that the blow is too large will bring to social stability. The officials below immediately quarreled. After arguing for a long time, Zhu Naiqun finally spoke to the town: "It's really not okay to borrow from the China Development Bank for the festival fee, I still have a little face, and they won't give tens of millions, one or two hundred million." Now let's talk about how to deduct this list - as the words explain, it is a deduction. How can there be anything in the world that can't receive money and make contributions? No, no. ”

The tone was set, and the bigwigs started their ingenuity and began to re-evaluate and review the manufacturing order separately, and ticked off the parts they thought they didn't need. Of course, most of them don't understand space military science, and that hook and fork is very arbitrary, and then it has to be handed over to space military experts for review. After their wave, the experts tried again, and two modules and twenty-five accessories were cut off from the five major modules and more than 60 accessories on the watch, almost half. Although experts swore that this omission would not have a fundamental effect on the modern class, and that at most the modern class would only exert 70 percent of its strength - but when he reported to Adams, he acquiesced, saying, "Seventy is seventy." Isn't the modern class very powerful? Even seventy percent, which is far more than the average strong battleship. You have worked hard, work hard, and start work urgently according to this table, and you must deliver the goods on time. Naito Heavy Industries should take the lead in organizing system integration and technical support in all aspects, and must complete this matter within six or eight years. ”

Commander Adams spoke, and the list and his instructions reached Naito's technicians. Immediately, the director of Naito Heavy Industries' modern class program issued a lament:

"That's not how the accounts are counted! What seventy is seventy?! ”

That night, the supervisor committed suicide by caesarean section, leaving behind a vehemently disrespectful suicide note to Commander Adams. These messages were tightly controlled, and could never have been known unless Han Han personally investigated.

Although the rest of the matter is still very cumbersome, there is no need to focus on the review, and it is basically carried out according to the previous plan. The Kuibyshev fleet finally received the dream modern-class three-ship. However, the ship had one less antimatter engine control, and the engine could only output to sixty percent of the set value, otherwise it would explode, so the flagship of the Kuibyshev fleet became the slowest battleship in the entire fleet; Correspondingly, the gamma cannon can only be stored to 60 percent, otherwise it will also explode; It is for this reason that when the energy is exported to the gamma cannon, the automatic defense cannon on the hull of the ship has to be stopped; Coupled with the fact that a plasma isolation layer engine was cut off, the ship could only rely on thick armor plates to resist the invasion of cosmic rays, while there was no plasma reflection layer that other modern or even ordinary warships had, and the officers and men had to take anti-radiation drugs regularly......

What is this called?

The results of the specific investigation into the wreck of the Kuibyshev flagship have come from the Zenith Gate. At that time, Kuibyshev's flagship led the crowd against the Feria's raiding group, but because of its slow speed, it broke away from the escort of the three ships in a fierce battle. During the filling of the gamma cannon, it was counter-surrounded by Feriia's fast assault aircraft. We can imagine the inevitable fate of the giant ship that was too underpowered to escape, and that had no anti-radiation capability because it was being filled with gamma cannons and had no close-range defense. After all, the Hyundai class is the Hyundai class, and the hull has not suffered major damage, but none of the officers and men inside have survived.

Seeing this, I sighed, took off my hat and put it on the table, silently mourning for this unfortunate veteran. Han Han waited for two minutes before he asked me, "How should this matter be handled?" ”

"It's too wide-ranging." I said meaningfully: "If it is dealt with seriously, the leading cadres alone will have to be rectified by more than hundreds of people, and Chairman Adams will simply retreat and apologize." It's unrealistic...... Is there a detailed list of those involved? I'll see who to cut it on. ”

Titus handed over the list. My eyes hurriedly touched the names of old guys such as Adams Zhu Naiqun and others who could not be easily provoked, and suddenly saw a familiar name in the middle of the first page, and immediately shouted: "Isn't this Lao Song?" He's not from Nandu GDI, so what are you doing in that internal meeting? ”

"Song Houde was born in Nandu, he is a senior veteran of the Ning faction, and in recent years, he has been engaged in logistics support work in the Samsung department, and he is familiar with the affairs of the space fleet. They specifically asked him to go to the staff office, and the final list was also reviewed by him. Titus replied.

"Then him." I closed the list with a grin: "It's not easy to mess with, so I won't look at the others." This guy is from the Space Fleet, and we can still control him. Immediately notify him to come over and be investigated and dealt with by the organization! ”

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Han Han said with an embarrassed face: "Rhubarb, you must be too crazy, right?" Before we were born, Song Houde was a senior leader at GDI in Nandu. Do you really think he would be so obedient and wronged by us? ”

"Did you wronged him?"

"He does have a responsibility himself, but definitely not the main one." Han Han whispered: "If it is really strictly approved, Chairman Adams, Chief Nagisa, and Kamei Shou, assistant to the chief of the Wakuni GDI, should be mainly responsible. ”

"Those three can't be provoked for the time being, we are still commissioned by Chairman Adams to investigate this matter, may they be plotting with the tiger?" I replied lightly: "It's one thing to get Lao Song at every turn, let's send a note first." If he doesn't come, we have an excuse for the next move. (To be continued.) )
