036 Expedition, Arbitration War
Because both sides had a desire for war, the request to arbitrate the war was granted with astonishing speed, and it was said that the Galactic Council was still voting, and the parliamentary envoy who delivered the official notice of war departed.
The messenger ship provided by the Haydn arrived at the home planet of the Pig Clan and the Humans at a warp speed of seven degrees, announcing the result to both sides - but even the Haydn messenger ship would take a considerable amount of time to reach Earth and Kuka from Togawa, the seat of the Galactic Council, as tens of thousands of light-years away from each other.
Therefore, before the arrival of the messenger spacecraft, the instant Ansebo communication had already sent the information approving the war to the home planets of the two races. So when the messenger ship arrived, the high commands of both sides were already assembling their fleets.
The United Nations Aerospace Force fleet was assembled at Arcturus, along with dreadnoughts, in a large fleet of 100 ships ready to go - the largest number of ships allowed to participate in the arbitration war.
Before the expedition, the United Nations Aerospace Force held a grand military parade, and almost the entire human race in the Arcturus system stopped their work to watch the fleet set off.
In ancient times, some so-called science fiction novels were bombarded by tens of thousands of warships and tens of thousands of warships, and that did not happen in reality.
This is mainly due to the fact that the warships in those novels are too different from the warships in the real world, and even the multi-purpose ships classified as large cruisers such as the Yorktown are two kilometers long, and the diameter of the disc-shaped structure as the main body of the ship is 740 meters.
The fifteenth naval dock-level spaceport can only dock one such large cruiser, and it is docked in such a way that the head is inserted into the spaceport and the back half is exposed.
As for those dreadnoughts, they are all behemoths with a length of more than 20,000 meters, and there are also some high-speed battleships smaller than dreadnoughts, which are also 10,000 meters long at every turn.
However, things like dreadnoughts and high-speed battleships are too cost-effective, and all races in the galaxy regard them as "special ships for arbitration wars" except for the Big Ten who are not in the specifications, and they usually take them out to deter each other and act as a presence fleet. Cruisers are the main force of the "work" of various races.
And the human race is a race that attaches great importance to cruisers, and the human cruisers are larger than those of the surrounding races, and the performance is better, and of course more expensive.
The United Nations Aerospace Force fleet gathered in Arcturus looked immense, many sightseeing airships hovered outside the cordon, and civilians on the airships were partying, in the name of the Space Army's heroism.
The same situation is happening throughout the human-controlled zone, and everyone is adamant that this time they will definitely be able to torture the pigs and win more colonized planets.
According to the United Nations Space Exploration Act, all people have the right to explore and explore the new planet that has been included in the human territory independently, and before the arrival of the United Nations assessment team, all the mining resources on the new planet will follow the principle of whoever discovers it first, and the land belongs to whoever completes the development and grows the crops first.
The United Nations assessment team will usually set off slowly, giving enough time for the pioneers to draw the ground, and in turn, the pioneers will also find out the potential dangers on the planet - with their lives or part of their lives. In this way, the United Nations saved a lot of money on pioneering, the pioneers made a fortune, and everyone ushered in a win-win outcome, which has been the model that mankind has been using to develop new planets for so many years.
Now, a war of arbitration that everyone thinks will be won, and many galaxies that originally belonged to the pig race look like they are about to fall into the hands of humans, so many people have begun to raise funds to hire ships and prepare to make a fortune on new planets.
But there are also those who are wary of this unusual behavior of the pig people.

Instructor Li watched the departure ceremony in the officer's room at the No. 15 Navy dock.
The official channel of the United Nations Aerospace Force broadcasts the picture with the March of the Universe Army, which was originally the soundtrack of an ancient film series called "March of the Empire", and is now used as a special march for the parade of the Universe Force.
It is said that at the beginning, many people thought that this song was like an evil villain, and they should choose the theme song of the same series of movies, which sounded much more upright.
But then human beings were bullied by the surrounding aliens, and gradually everyone felt that they couldn't be good people, and human beings had to be bad people, so this evil song was used by the Space Army as military music to this day.
Instructor Li didn't have any opinion on this song, in fact, Instructor Li thought these things were good. Now, although Instructor Li is staring at the picture on the main screen, his attention is mainly focused on the electronic conference conducted through the headquarters encryption loop and the Ansebo system.
"Our surveillance of the Pig Clan has not been relaxed, their fleet build-up and related war preparations are proceeding normally, and they have not been found to have made any special moves." The director of the Space Force Intelligence Center reported, "No fleet departed early, and no signs of the main force of the Pig Clan's Marine Forces being put on alert." ”
In the early days of the Galactic Council, there were races that took advantage of the loophole of the arbitration war: they first applied for an arbitration war with their opponents, and then after the opposing fleet set off for the battlefield specified by the Council, the main force launched an attack on several major planets of the opposing side. Warp fleets cannot communicate with the outside world, because the timeline does not match, and no means of communication can establish communication with the fleet until the warp fleet returns to the normal timeline. So in that war, the fleets of the stupid races ended their warp voyages, only to get the bad news that their home planet and several major colonies had been burned with glass balls.
At the end of that event, the Galactic Council voted for the first time since its establishment to pass the "Extinction Order", dispatching a peacekeeping fleet to beat the race, which violated the rules until it was completely incapacitated, and then after destroying all the facilities related to modern civilization on their home planet, all the surviving individuals of that race were thrown back to the home planet.
The Galactic Council Observatory left in orbit recorded the history of the planet for the next hundred years, recording all the tragic end of the race on the home planet where resources had been exhausted, and adding it to the additional document of the Galactic Charter. Log in to any digital library to access this century-old detailed record.
After punishing the violators, the Galactic Council added the rules for arbitration of war, stipulating that the fleets of both sides would set off in batches. Warp speed can be calculated at the beginning of the warp speed when the approximate coordinates of the end of the warp speed, the warp speed can be forcibly interrupted in the middle of the warp speed may lead to accidents, the warp speed engine failure will take a few days to repair, the worst is the engine explosion, the ship is destroyed, and people are killed. Of course, a person (ship) with a particularly good character may not have a, but no one will bet on this character.
Therefore, the fleets of the two sides set off in batches to effectively avoid the warring parties from using their brains, and the Galactic Council also felt that this was not safe, so it established a supervision mechanism for the superior race, and before the arbitration war began, the fleets of the superior races responsible for supervision would enter the core systems of the two sides of the war respectively, acting as "bodyguards", once one side used its brains, the first thing to face was the bodyguard fleet of the upper race.
Now, the Na'vi fleet has arrived at the Big Horn space station and is in orbit, but it is only a small fleet of several cruisers, mainly because both the rules for departure in batches and the supervision mechanism have been made from the beginning. The Galactic Council has ensured that the rules governing the arbitration of war are sufficiently respected by stronger and more forceful means: the record in the annex to the Galactic Charter is the most intuitive manifestation of this means.
However, it is impossible for the pigs to take the opportunity of the arbitration war to engage in a war of extermination, but it is still possible to make small moves, such as sending a small fleet to attack the human space station or something.
The Galactic Council will not issue an extermination order to the Pig Clan because of this level of matter, but if the Pig Clan acts in front of the Na'vi people, the Na'vi people must feel very unhappy, and the Pengrui people who are responsible for supervising the pig clan will definitely be disgraced because of "poor supervision".
It stands to reason that it is impossible for the pig people to use their brains. But apparently, all the top echelons of the Cosmos Army, including Instructor Li, felt that there was something wrong with this.
"We just need to do a good job of defense." After discussing various possibilities without reaching a conclusion, said the Chief of the General Staff of the Space Forces, Admiral Kaos.
"Do you really want to consider the fire of Prometheus as the first goal of the pig clan?"
General Zhang asked.
"Of course, it's worth the pig clan's troubles, and that's it." Lin Zhengxiong said, "The results of our previous kidnapping of the pig people for psychic detection show that the pig people did not get the coordinates of the backup storage point from Pang Dongming, maybe we should consider transferring the Tianhuo there." ”
"You should only think about it there in an emergency." Instructor Li immediately objected, "The academy is currently equipped with the strongest combat power in the space station, and the graduating students and third-year students are trustworthy, and their combat effectiveness has been tested before, hasn't it?" ”
"I haven't encountered a situation where an organized Marine unit has forcibly landed on the space station before, has it?"
"Isn't there no sign of the Pig Clan mobilizing the Marine Corps, we should be facing the Pig Clan's special forces." Instructor Li did not back down, "We are sure enough to guard the fire of Prometheus. ”
"Have you forgotten something?" Suddenly, a message from Vladimir, the commander of the Arcturus Galaxy's remaining fleet, who had been silent all along, entered everyone's consciousness.
"Even if all the main forces of the Space Force go to the battlefield of the arbitration war, our stationed fleet still maintains a considerable degree of combat effectiveness, and we can reach the fifteenth dock from the Great Horn space station in five minutes."
When the No. 15 dock was attacked before, there were no ships that were on alert and could come immediately, not to mention the ships with tasks, and the ships without tasks were all moored in the harbor, and it took twenty or thirty minutes just to leave the port. The first attack was felt by no ship other than the Yorktown before the attack was crushed, and the second time Hayashi used ghost agent authority to requisition the dreadnought that was ready to enter the No. 10 Navy dockyard for maintenance, and arrived within more than ten minutes of the attack begins.
But this time, Vladimir's fleet was in orbit near the Big Horn station, staying with the Na'vi fleet.
They can be there in five minutes at any time.
This is truly the most reassuring guarantee.
At this time, on the main screen, the first fleet to depart starts the warp engine.
