Chapter 241: The President's Thoughts
Chapong was very excited in the main control room of the starship London, but the officers and soldiers of the Earth Federation were once again sluggish.
Such a dense and violent energy impact only created a cluster of shining light comparable to the fireworks on the energy shields of those starships, and the energy shields were not weakened at all, how could this be embarrassing? Grit your teeth and keep attacking! I don't believe that their energy shield can sustain such a long period of indiscriminate bombardment!
The soldiers of the Federation continued to rain attacks on the fleet, but after a few minutes, the energy shield was still as steady as Mount Tai, and it did not move. And many of the fighters' energy magazines had already run out, and the fierce offensive just now had faintly eased.
"What kind of energy shield is this? They just stopped there and let us attack as much as we wanted, but we couldn't even break through their energy shields! The gap is too big, how can this battle be fought? "Despite the fear in my heart, the military law of the Federation is there, and no one is allowed to escape. Moreover, the innate sense of honor of being a soldier does not allow them to do so. So, all the soldiers reluctantly continued this futile attack, so that this wonderful fireworks display continued.
Claire, the director of military intelligence, froze. What's going on? Could it be that the technology mastered by those families had advanced to such an advanced point that they were able to develop an energy shield activation device with such strong protection capabilities? If this is the case, then where is the slightest chance of winning the game between the Federation and them? Is it true that the federal republican system that has lasted for thousands of years will be overthrown by these greedy silverfish? But if they are allowed to succeed, it will be a huge regression for the entire human race! Many more people will be forced to become civilians or even destitute people, living a precarious life!
"Director, what should I do? I can't break through the opponent's energy shield all the time! And the other party seems to be deliberately playing tricks on us, and there is no intention to fight back at all. See if you can ask the president to send more troops, especially attack starships. ”
"This ...... This battle is already too big now, and this is the largest military operation on Earth since the establishment of the Federation. If more starships are deployed, there is a good chance that the situation will spiral out of control. In case of a backlash from the forces behind these starships, it will have serious consequences. Wait, the president will be here soon. Let him decide these things, after all, we are just a tool in his hands. It's not our turn to call the shots. Claire thought about it, everything is still safe, and the other party has not fought back so far, which may indicate that their hostility to the Federation is not too strong. If it's really what you think, then there is still room for things to turn around. Moreover, the President has just stressed that no hostile action should be taken, and it is already a mistake to give the order to attack himself, and it cannot be wrong again and again.
Thinking of this, Claire was taken aback. Looking at the president's shocked expression just now, does he know the origin of this fleet? Could it be that the appearance of this fleet is important for the president?
"Quick! Let them stop attacking! Claire, who had come back to her senses, immediately instructed her subordinates that the president would arrive in a while, and if he saw that he did not obey orders, then the bureau chief would not want to sit down.
The officers and soldiers who received the order finally breathed a sigh of relief. They have long felt that something is not quite right, how can there be an enemy who will not fight back when they are beaten. Perhaps, things are not as bad as imagined, at least the hostility of the other side is not obvious. Moreover, with the attack power of the federal army, even the opponent's energy shield could not be helpless for such a long time, and it would be humiliating to attack again. Therefore, as soon as the order of the director of military intelligence was issued, the entire airspace immediately calmed down, and it was no longer as lively as just now.
Just as the scene was quiet, President Chen Zhenbang's plane had arrived in this part of the Atlantic Ocean under the strict escort of more than a dozen aircraft. Although he had seen the situation from the real-time transmitted video images, he did not blame the director of military intelligence any more, after all, in that situation, it was obvious that the other party's dangerous move was the first, and his own side just reacted quickly. If you want to change to yourself, it is estimated that you will not do better than this director of military intelligence.
The president's plane hovered smoothly above the fleet. It's not that Chen Zhenbang is not afraid of death, with the current range of weapons, even if you are 108,000 miles away, a concentrated energy cannon bombardment can make you scum. He was mainly thinking of the top-secret federal archive that had existed for thousands of years, and that file was called Project Proxima Centauri. According to common sense, every top-secret file has a period of time to be declassified, such as 50 years, 70 years, or 100 years. But this file has been sealed in the top secret archives of the Federation's central intelligence brain, and has never been declassified. Of course, as president, you are entitled to access this document. In this document, he had seen the term "Atlantis", but it was only swept away, and it did not leave much impression at all. But as soon as he heard the name, he quickly remembered that this "Atlantis" starship was very likely to be the first manned voyage ship of mankind that had been sailing for thousands of years into deep space. Since it is the fleets of the Federation, it will not be too dangerous for itself.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhenbang's heart couldn't help but burn. If this can be determined, then it will be the most shocking news for the earth, and even for the entire human race. And what this news brings to mankind will be the hope of peace and rapid development. This is exactly the problem that I have been worrying about all night since I became president of the Federation.
President Chen Zhenbang motioned to the communications officer on the landline to contact the fleet commander of the starship "Atlantis" in the earth language. Although more than a thousand years of isolation made Lin Feng slightly unfamiliar with this language, it did not prevent him from correctly understanding the other party's intentions.
Soon, the two sides were in contact or communicating via voice and video.
"Mr. Admiral, may I ask you, are you the captain of the Starship Atlantis?" Chen Zhenbang looked at the young man on the screen, who was young but high-spirited, dressed in the uniform of an old federal general, and asked very politely first.
"Yes. In Shimobayashi Peak, the commander of the Earth Federation's manned interstellar fleet. Who are you? ”
"I am Chen Zhenbang, the 198th President of the Earth Federation."
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately stood up straight with a "snap" and gave a military salute to Chen Zhenbang, "Hello! Mr. President! Lin Feng, Commander of the Earth Federation's Interstellar Manned Fleet, reports to you! ”
Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lin Feng acting like this, but he quickly understood. It seems that even after being separated from the Federation for thousands of years, the descendants of these brave forerunners have not forgotten their identity as federal soldiers and remain loyal to the Federation. In that case, it's all easy. It's all my own people, besides, wasn't the purpose of sending such a starship back then just for the arrival of this day? Although it was a bit late, the Federation was on the eve of an impending crisis, and the return of the Atlantis was just in time.
"Admiral Lin Feng, what are you doing here? You are all heroes of the Federation and even the entire human race, and it is only right that I salute you and pay tribute to you. Now, please accept my respect for you and your comrades-in-arms! You've done a great job! Chen Zhenbang said as he bent down to Lin Feng and bowed deeply.
The two of them saluted and bowed, as if they were playing a double reed, which made the people next to them a little unbearable, but they had to endure it reluctantly and couldn't laugh out loud.
After this politeness, Chen Zhenbang explained his intention......
"Commander Lin, to be honest, I was really a little surprised by the return of the Expeditionary Fleet. With the technology you made at the time, the speed of the starship you built was certainly not high, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take you at least a thousand years or so to reach Proxima Centauri. But now the fact is that the Atlantis has unmistakably appeared before my eyes. Can you tell me why? ”
As soon as he heard Chen Zhenbang ask this question, Rao is no matter how clever and wise Lin Feng was, he didn't know how to answer. (To be continued.) )
