When I arrived at the Grand Cross, Lord Overmars came to the tarmac to greet me, and I was greeted by a military band early in the morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI'm in a terrible mood, and I'm tired of hearing this. His Excellency the Admiral shook my hand and exclaimed again and again: "Gifted and talented, he has built an immortal achievement. He took Hongxiang's hand and praised: "It is really a blessing in the world, young and promising, gratifying." "I knew that he was putting on a show to boost morale, but although I was impatient, I reluctantly cooperated twice, and let the guys from the Fleet Propaganda Bureau use their long guns and short cannons to shake hands with me and His Excellency the Admiral, the two giants of the century.

After the welcoming ceremony, the general and I walked in side by side, followed by Hongxiang and a dozen officials. I whispered, "Have all the leaders of the three stars arrived?" The admiral nodded and said, "It's been early, and I'm waiting for you." Time is pressing, so let's hurry. "I think of Chen Qi, I really don't know how we will meet? casually asked, "What's the situation over there?" The admiral's footsteps did not stop, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Very bad, and worse news can come at any time." Let's go in and communicate it at the meeting. ”

The big fish and shrimp in the back stopped halfway through. When the general and I walked outside the corridor of the conference room, we unexpectedly met Chen Qi. As soon as she saw us, she eagerly stepped forward, nodded to the admiral, and said, "Your Excellency, I have two sentences that I want to talk to Huang Er alone first, is it okay?" ”

Admiral Ao stopped slightly, dropped a sentence: "Extraordinary times, don't delay too long" and walked in alone.

I settled my mind to take a closer look at this woman with whom I had a rather complicated love-hate relationship. She has never been to any of the meetings I attended since the second Landlord Fight, and I have only seen her twice on video conferences. She has lost a little weight, although her appearance remains the same and her demeanor is still the same, it makes me feel a sense of vicissitudes. Whether it's me or her, I can't tell for a while. I had no choice but to pick up the good words and said, "Xiao Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are more mature." ”

"Huang Er, I have something urgent to say." Chen Qi spoke urgently: "I know that it is really difficult to ask you from my current position and situation. But now I have no one else to rely on but you. ”

"Isn't there a man with the surname Wang?" I fought back.

Chen Qi's face was stunned for a short time, and after a while, the corners of his eyes suddenly curved, revealing a slight smile. She turned her head and said, "Huang Er, I really thought you had grown up." These days, you have behaved like an uncle in his thirties, and although there are no flaws, it is frightening. You're going to be upset about this kind of thing, which is jealousy—it really makes me happy. ”

"Pick up the important ones, everyone is waiting for us." I reminded her with an unchanging countenance.

Chen Qi said slowly: "Huang Er, although I have something to be sorry for you. But you can understand how I felt, I didn't want to do that. Besides, you're not too good for me to be impeccable...... Of course we can, and we should take it slowly. I mean, I hope you'll think about our past friendships. Even in the future, it is not necessarily non-negotiable. ”

"Those days are indeed unforgettable, and they are always lingering in my mind." I sighed heavily and said, "As for the future, don't talk about the future." If we are not happy, there will be no future for the whole human world. What exactly do you want from me? ”

"The battle situation over there is very bad, I have heard a lot of news, although it is not very true, but ......" Chen Qi gritted his teeth, looked directly at me, and said word by word: "Maybe they want to give up the northern capital." However, Huang Er, Admiral and Nagao are all from the side of Heguo, and they are born with incorrect views and a biased position. If Feria was attacking Shinkyo, they would definitely have another opinion. This time, you must stand on my side and desperately insist on keeping the northern capital! It is our home, the soul and heart of our China, and the dream capital of all mankind. No matter what the damage is, we cannot give it up. As long as there is time, we can always restore our homes. As a sane person, a pure-blooded Chinese, you must think carefully and don't follow their opinions. I beg you! ”

"You're a little emotional, let's calm down for a while." I turned around and walked down the corridor and said, "At such times, no one would jump to conclusions. ”

In the central conference room, our four giants were seated, and Admiral Ao himself made a cameo as the commentator. He gave a rough account of the Earth-Moon battlefield that began with the discovery of Feria at the lunar base. Feria's purpose is very clear, that is, to attack the main star and surprise the northern capital. They sent 100 fighters to blockade the lunar base, but they did not launch an attack, but only circled far outside the air defense circle, so that the poor air force of the lunar base did not have the opportunity to rise into the air and gather to form a formation, and the rest of the troops all showed their form and flew down into the atmosphere. In a night photograph from the ground, the entire sky can be seen painted red with the red-hot Feria airborne ships.

Edo Bay, Northern Capital, Southern Metropolis, Yangquan, Malayan Air Defense Forces, and even training planes flying north all took off to intercept them, but these atmospheric fighters were really no match for the Feria fighters comparable to space warships, and the difference in combat power between the two was even greater than that of ordinary infantry against keel soldiers. Four hours later, the Feria Army had already begun to land in the northern capital, and a total of 1,200 of the four major air defense teams in the eastern hemisphere plus the training planes flying north were defeated, and less than one-tenth survived. They inflicted less than a percent blow on the enemy troops.

"It is estimated that up to now, about 186,000 Feria Army individuals have descended into various parts of the northern capital. The northern capital has been mired in full-scale street fighting. Admiral O's finished reading the last sentence and sat down.

"Admiral, what's going on with the Samsung fleet?" Nagao asked, raising his hand.

"It's troublesome." Overmars frowned and said, "Don't look at me, I seem to have a lot of possessions now, but most of them are still on paper. Many of the new ships are still undergoing the third maintenance at the lunar base, and they can only be officially put into service after they are completed. I don't want to hide it from you, now I have a lot of numbers in my fleet, most of them are empty, and there are only five actual strength of the fleet, Guo Yingying took a team to the Zenith Gate to organize defense, and I really don't know if his team is enough. The two detachments of Kuibyshev and Tang Qingfeng chased out of the moon gate, where they fought with the Feria fighters and did not get any cheap. Forty-two of the opposing side were shot down, and twenty-eight of their own eighty frigates were lost. Seeing that Feria had drawn troops from the atmosphere to help, I had to call them back. I only have three and a half fleets at my disposal now, not to mention the support of the northern capital - if the enemy rushes through the moon gate in one breath to the big cross, we may not be able to parry, and the moon gate is not as easy to defend as the zenith gate. ”

"In the unlikely event that happens, the Thunderondo fleet will work together to help defend it." I interjected.

Chen Qi also said: "The same goes for the Alpha Fleet. ”

"That's the only way, although the two of you have poor fleet equipment, but it has also helped a lot at this time, please notify them immediately to rush to the vicinity of the big cross, just in case."

"Well, I've already told them to come when I pass through here. Alpha, on the other hand, is not in a hurry at this time. I interrupted the general's words and asked directly: "What is the situation in the northern capital now, has the strategic defense concept system worked?" ”

"Let's go directly to the Garrison Headquarters of the Northern Metropolitan Plenum, and let the people there explain." Overmars turned on the starphone.

In any case, it was too much of a coincidence. In my intellectual judgment, I also think that this coincidence is suspected of being artificially arranged: the person sent by the Northern Garrison Command to talk to us is actually Chen Tianfu, the elder brother of Alpha Governor Chen Qi. His outfit is truly rare: a suit and leather shoes, a jacket of body armor, and a beret, which can be described as the most nondescript. Behind him on the screen, you can see a lot of GDI officials dressed in the same strange and abnormal way, all of them are overweight, and their general-sized body armor can't be buttoned, so they have to be wrapped around belts and other things. Two seconds passed after the image came out, and the voice contact was finally connected. After Chen Tianfu confirmed the connection, he took the initiative to greet the general upward. The admiral interrupted him and asked, "What's the latest situation now?" ”

Chen Tianfu replied: "Very bad, the enemy troops parachuted outside the Fifth Ring Road have joined forces with the enemy forces inside the Fourth Ring Road to destroy the defensive wall, and the northern capital is now in no danger to defend." We are building barricades to try to hold on for a little longer. When will your reinforcements arrive? ”

"What about the Strategic Defense Concept?!" I couldn't help but shout.

"Is it Huanger? I heard his voice. Chen Tianfu hesitated for a moment and said, "We are investigating this matter." However, the commander of the garrison of the Northern Capital committed suicide by swallowing a gun two hours ago, and I am afraid that it is difficult to draw a conclusion for a while. But rumors have long begun on the market, probably in ****, around six or five years, the Military Commission has secretly stopped the operation of the strategic defense concept and turned to invest in the illusory world......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "And it seems that many advanced war tools have already been secretly transferred to the illusory world." The five-tier composite strategic defense concept system in the northern capital now in fact no longer exists. This is because we are sorely lacking even the most basic body of defence, trained armed combatants. We have recruited all reserve officers, militiamen, policemen, armed police, cadets, police cadets, and strong students who have undergone military training...... However, there were still only about 150,000 of them, and the actual combat strength could not be compared with that of the regular army. We are now defending the area around the International Conference Centre with 30,000 regular troops, and the civilians are being slaughtered in droves. That's all there is to it, when will you be able to help? ”

"Hmm, is that already the case?" The admiral raised his official tone: "The issue of rescue, we are studying." ”

"Admiral, I hope you will treat it solemnly!" Chen Tianfu heard the meaning of his words, and his tone immediately became stern: "There are almost all the top officials of GDI gathered here, and you can't afford this responsibility!" If you delay in any way, you will be court-martialed! In fact, the Military Commission is working on a rescue plan, and after the plan is issued, you must come to the aid according to the plan. I hope that in this matter, you can do a better job and take the initiative, and don't let those big men rush you! It's not good for your career. ”

Admiral Ao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Chen Tianfu, a civilian major general with a deep background, is exactly what he looks down on the most, so he immediately lowered his face and said in a reprimanding tone: "I remember that you have an old saying in China: 'When you are outside, the king's order is not affected'. Haven't you figured out the situation yet? Go and see for yourself what order is now displayed on the command system! You are no longer qualified to ask us to obey orders! What should be done, what to do, wait for our Samsung War Zone to study and decide. Then he choked the call off.

Overmars said a key point. In order to prevent the chaotic and disorderly situation in which multiple high-level command organs are destroyed at the same time in a war, the GDI formulated a series of rules and mechanisms for the upper and lower jurisdiction, promotion, succession, and recusal of military command and command power several decades ago, and clarified under what circumstances and at what level the military command organs can command what degree of military operations. In order to ensure the operation of this mechanism, a computer-aided "military order command system" for automatic judgment has also been set up, and arrangements have been made in all theaters. Even if you don't have this system, it doesn't matter, the result is the same, it's just how fast or slow the calculation is. This mechanism is a compulsory course for the introductory course of the GDI, and anyone in the GDI system understands and is accustomed to strictly following it, and Chen Tianfu's attempt to ignore this mechanism and use official authority to suppress Overmars will not work.

At present, the regular troops of the Illusory Realm Bureau and the Celestial Realm Bureau have been basically eliminated, and they have automatically lost their command rights, and their ranking in the system has seriously declined; The various command organs of the Northern Capital were on the verge of extinction, and the ranking in the system was reduced to the lowest. Samsung, the most sound command organ and the most powerful military force in the human world, can be calculated beyond the moon gate, whether it is a computer or a human brain, and at this time, the Samsung Theater will automatically become the supreme command and decision-making organ -- because our superior organ, the Samsung General Bureau, is a professional and technical department, and at this time it has no command power, and can only watch with a blank eye as the second-in-command of Overmars, who is a member of the theater and has the right to command and make decisions in wartime, and the three of us, who are not even members of the Standing Committee of the War Research Committee, rushing to the front!

Of course, if you dig deeper, the rules are set like this, but in fact, they don't necessarily have to be implemented in this way. If such a situation had occurred thirty years ago, and King Situ of Yangquan Buyi made a televised speech, wouldn't the military and civilians around the world have to obediently listen to his leadership? Now, except for the long-deceased King Situ and the high-ranking officials of the Northern Capital who are about to die, the Southern Capital, Xinjing, New Rome, and Atlantic City can be ...... There are still hundreds of dignitaries and dignitaries who are more advanced than us and who speak effectively who did not attend the meeting, so why don't they come out to raise their voices and preside over the overall situation?

Telephone, radio, telex ...... The only thing in these common communication command tools is rustling background noise, and nothing else. Guessing at the worst aspect, it is not the rules of the GDI and the calculation results of the military command system that make us the highest decision-making group, but the whole world except the northern capital is silently, cautiously and expectantly waiting for us to do something!

"The people of the Northern Capital are very excited, but they have no power or qualification to drag all mankind to accompany them to their burial. More than half a century ago, mankind was almost extinct, and all kinds of rules, regulations, rules and policies formulated by GDI are to avoid the recurrence of this situation, so everyone must raise awareness and look at this matter from the perspective of the life and death of the human species. ”

After some talking, Overmars pressed the table and said in a heavy tone: "You have heard, the northern capital is now on the verge of destruction. The order of command and decision-making in such a situation is set out in the GDI Military Regulations, and I think it is clear to everyone what that is. Now, since there is no objection from other places, we can only move forward with the burden and shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to us by the times, and now I solemnly declare: At present, the highest political and military decision-making power in the human world is temporarily presided over by the Samsung War Zone, and the specific thing is that the four of us will jointly discuss and decide how to do it. If you have any comments or suggestions, please take the time to express them. ”

Nagao is rarely active, probably because he feels that he has suddenly become above hundreds of millions of people, and he is too excited. He raised his hand with a red face and asked, "General, if there are four people, what if there is a tie?" ”

"Then the party that opposes the motion will put forward the proposal and vote repeatedly until it is passed." The admiral said with a calm face: "But time is limited, please make a decision when you have a specific plan in mind, and you are not allowed to play tricks such as filibuster to make unnecessary resistance or delay." If such a situation occurs, the decision-making power of the relevant person will be immediately revoked and the person will be expelled from the field. ”

Chen Qi was about to speak, but Nagao, who has always been low-key, spoke first: "Now the situation is obvious, and there is no possibility of recovery in the northern capital." The enemy could wipe out the remnants of the Northern Capital in a very short period of time and become a threat to the entire main planet. No, it will be the root cause of the extinction of the main star. We must act quickly, immediately, immediately! ”

He chirped a lot of things, but he didn't say what measures to take. In this case, only an idiot would look stupidly without taking action. All four of us are highly intelligent GDI elites, of course we don't do this, so we will follow what he says, what creative nonsense! Just as I began to re-evaluate Nagao, Chen Qi finally couldn't help but jump up and shouted, "If it's not my race, its heart will be punished!" What do you want to do with the Admiral? There is nothing to think about, we must immediately return to the Northern Capital and defuse this crisis! She turned her face to me again and exclaimed, "Huang Er, it's your turn." Say! ”

I flattened my mouth, put out the cigarette I had never smoked, and said, "We need unity now, and there should be no internal division." My concern is, will we be able to defuse this crisis? Will it be possible to save the Northern Capital? ”

"Huang Er!" Chen Qi shouted loudly and shouted: "At this time, you can't calculate whether you can do it like a small accountant, whether you will lose money." What we have to do is fight to the death! ”

I was surprised that she would insist so stubbornly. Everyone has an inviolable realm in their hearts, and Beidu must be the last line of defense in her absolute realm, right? I was acting better than she expected, and she glared at her with hatred again. I couldn't bear the light of this fierce light, so I had to bury my head. At this moment, the admiral opened his mouth to relieve me: "If we can form ten detachments, that is, reach half the size of the planetary attack fleet, we can counterattack." However, at the moment we do not, and the possibility of even regaining air supremacy is very small, let alone forming a Marine Corps sufficient to quell the chaos. ”

"Leilondo's army is not good enough for urban warfare of this scale." I immediately added.

Without waiting for Chen Qi to speak, Nagao came to make a concluding speech: "Then, I see that we already have a relatively unified opinion on whether to send troops. Well, Governor Chen's opinion should be considered, but it should also follow the principle of the minority obeying the majority. So, let's talk about how to deal with this crisis, shall we? According to calculations, in another ten hours, the enemy army in the northern capital may be destroyed in the northern capital, and the troops will be divided to attack other cities. Governor Chen, although you are from Beidu, you are also Chinese. If the enemy army divides its troops, the first to suffer will definitely be the whole of China, you don't want to see this happen, right? ”

"I agree with Governor Nagao." I immediately followed: "Then please speak up and vote as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )
