Chapter 225: Dismal Failure (Part II)
The half-human warship, which was slowly forced back, suddenly gathered in two directions as if it had suddenly taken a stimulant. In the middle of the two directions, a huge space base suddenly appeared in plain sight. If Gao He was there, he could see at a glance that the appearance of that base was exactly the same as the fortress that he blew up before.
And this time, apparently, it was not a warehouse disguised as a fortress, but a real fortress. The huge fortress cannon was just a single shot, and within the range of the artillery fire, at least hundreds of battleships were hit and exploded, and there was no problem of relying on their own defense to hold on.
This is still in the case of a loose attack, and if the battleships are densely arranged, it is not known what kind of situation will arise. What's even more terrifying is that such a fortress cannon, in a space fortress, is lined up with two in each direction.
In just one round of shooting, the human fleet lost nearly five hundred warships. The sudden change disrupted the pace and rhythm of all human warship attacks, and the whole thing became chaotic.
With enemy reinforcements and confusion on our side, the battle began to become uncontrollable.
Perhaps, it occurred to me at this time why the enemy would build a camouflaged warehouse near the space jump point. First, the enemy is building a real fortress in order to give humanity a false target. Second, the enemy's fortress must be on the side of the space jump point, and the warehouse is built next to the space jump point, which is also convenient for local materials.
Unfortunately, people tend to think of the facts as complicated. And the enemy, who has been stubbornly defending the space jump point in recent times, also says all this. It's a little too late to know now.
The defeat was like a mountain, the messy formation and low morale were irretrievable, and the command could only helplessly issue an order to retreat. Under the attack of the enemy's super fortress, under the large-scale counterattack of the enemy's fleet, there are not many battleships that can successfully evacuate, and most of the battleships are found to be unable to evacuate safely after receiving the order to retreat.
In a complete defeat, the counterattack carefully prepared by mankind was completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of the space fortress. Although humanity has succeeded in destroying countless enemy ships in the desperate struggle with the enemy, it is a much larger fleet that has emerged with the space fortress.
Excluding the battleships that withdrew in time from the periphery, the entire combined fleet was completely wiped out by the enemy. One of humanity's greatest counterattacks also caused the greatest losses. Although the combined fleet of nearly 20,000 ships fought valiantly, destroying more than 15,000 enemy warships, except for more than 1,000 warships that escaped, all of them were destroyed.
More than 18,000 warships, more than 6 million soldiers, disappeared forever in the war of space jump points. The most terrifying thing is that the current production capacity of mankind is no longer enough to build a fleet of this size in just a few days. And the original war resources have been exhausted in the previous war.
There is no large-scale fleet that can stop the enemy's sudden reinforcements of fleets and fortresses in the Earth's star field, the Earth, the home of human beings and the birthplace of mankind, the third planet in the solar system, the beautiful blue planet, ** naked exposure to the enemy's fleet and fortress attack range.
More than 100 billion people are helplessly looking up to space, praying to the gods of their respective beliefs, waiting for doom to come.
The gods did not come, but bad luck did come.
The super fortress, escorted by the enemy's huge fleet, slowly approached the earth at a speed that was more than ten times slower than that of the battleship.
The huge mass, the huge volume, caused the super fortress to be super slow. To be honest, being able to reach the current speed is already the effect of the tens of thousands of engines installed in the fortress.
Nearby asteroids and meteorites have even been somewhat re-orbited by the massive mass of the fortress. However, the asteroids were fine, and all the meteorites were shattered, as long as they appeared within the fleet's coverage. This is the only lesson that the half-humans have learned since the last time that camouflaged warehouse was blown up.
Although the speed of the fortress is slow, after all, it is still getting closer to the earth day by day. The new type of fortress known to Takatsuru has not yet been completed. Even the production bases of several other star fields are already running at full capacity, and they still can't replace the battleships lost in the last war at once. Not to mention the personnel, almost all the reservists who had completed their training were also on the battleship, but they were still far from satisfied.
People are sad to find that at this moment, as if at this moment, all human beings have been abandoned by the heavens, and luck seems to favor those cruel half-humans.
The civilian media began to turn despair into anger, accusations against the military department, accusations against the commanders, accusations against all the soldiers who participated in the war, and even before the doom came, they called for a plenary session of the United Parliament, which was still on earth, to remove the current military commanders of all the military departments.
Some extremists even jumped out and began to propagate some heresies and deceive people's minds. People no longer have the heart to work, no heart to live, and the whole earth is left with pessimism shrouded in despair, and timely fun and venting before the end of the world.
There is no order in society, there is no distinction between rich and poor, chaos, out of control, even the police have no intention of working, and they still expect the thugs to find out with their conscience? Murder, annihilation, robbery, arson, a series of brutal activities are rampant like never before, the service industry is completely paralyzed, and there is no way to even collect the necessities of life, and in just a few days, the earth seems to have turned into hell.
The propaganda and rhetoric of the military and other star fields could not guide these desperate people at all, and even many people who were originally good people became new thugs at this time, and they were frantically sweeping across the entire earth.
However, what should come will come, and it will not slow down the enemy's pace because of these venting activities. The huge fortress finally descended, hovered high near the Earth, chose an orbit higher than the Moon, and began to revolve around the Earth. People who have lived on Earth for decades or hundreds of years can now see the second moon when they look up at night. The shining metallic moon full of carnage and brutality.
The sudden approach of the catastrophe seems to have made people wake up to the fact that such self-abandonment is not the solution to the problem, especially in the face of these races, who claim to be even lower and inferior than humans. Finally, some people with insight realized the problem.
The enemy is just pressing the border with large soldiers, and has not yet landed, we still have ground weapons, as well as anti-aircraft weapons, and fortress artillery, why give up? Thankfully, there was no such desperation as to vent among the ground forces, and everyone was determined to teach the guys a hard lesson when they landed.
When people go berserk, the army has no time to suppress, but is preparing for the enemy. When those who vented woke up, they found that there were already many people who were unwilling to give in, and they had already taken up arms and were ready to resist the ground war.
More people have joined the spontaneous encirclement of the planet. Others no longer engage in that futile venting. The enemy was overhead, and they even cut into the human network with a very contemptuous code, and for a while, all the players were playing the arrogant announcement of the half-humans with hair on their faces.
"You human beings, who think you are nobler and superior to us, are like this when you are facing death." A guy who looked like a diplomatic spokesman looked disdainful: "It's not even half as good as when our home planet is mortally attacked." ”
What really works may be the declaration of such a ridiculed alien race. People are willing to expose their shallowness to other humans, but they are absolutely unwilling to show their weaknesses in front of such a mongrel race. Nowadays, when the general education level is relatively high, almost all people have become "angry youths" in an instant.
"Never disgrace mankind, even if it is death, it must die with dignity!" This is the most popular slogan right now.
Inspired by this slogan, and threatened by the alien mongrels overhead, the society that humanity on Earth had almost collapsed miraculously restored order. It's as if the previous turmoil was just a farce concocted by a clever director with the participation of humans from all over the planet.
Schools opened, shops opened, companies continued to open, political axes began to work, and it was as if nothing had happened. The atmosphere between people has also reached an unprecedented harmony, and the whole society can definitely be said to be unstoppable.
When you see each other, whether you know each other or not, you will clench your fists and make a cheering gesture to cheer each other on. This is true for everyone, even the kindergarten children have the same greeting when they meet.
Leisure, entertainment, do what you have to do, and the society is calm as if it has entered [***] in an instant. Everything is just for the sentence "Never disgrace mankind, even if it is death, you must die with dignity!" ”。
The peaceful life seems to infect those guys above their heads, and the half-humans, who have taken control of almost all the networks on the planet, make a statement again.
"Very well, it seems that you do have certain characteristics of advanced life, and know how to self-restrict." It's still the same diplomatic spokesman from before, and this time it doesn't look so arrogant.
"Given that our two races are still inextricably linked, and that there is no unrivalled hatred between us, we intend to give you humans a chance. A chance to live with us, a chance for you to live. ”
