Chapter 255: Surrender

Billions of kilometers away from the solar system, two fleets, one large and one small, are separated by millions of kilometers, quietly levitating. In the middle of them, there was a dark and ethereal cosmic space, but from time to time, there were invisible fluctuations passing through it, which was the intermittent communication signal of the two fleets.

Lin Feng didn't know how Helen and Chen Zhenbang's military operations were going in the solar system at the moment. If they could receive their message, they might be able to make the people of that fleet give up their intention to resist completely. However, even without this information, he is not in a hurry, the olive branch has been thrown, it depends on whether the other party is willing to take it. If they are not reconciled, it will only be a matter of extra effort, although it will cause a lot of death, but compared to the future of the entire human race, that loss can only be said to be insignificant.

Song Jiang and the others should still be hesitant now. After all, he still has more than 300 captains under him, and they are from different families, representing their own interests, and if they can easily reach a consensus, it will be worrying. However, I believe that they can make a wise and righteous choice between life and death.

While Lin Feng was patiently waiting, the intelligence officer of the Atlantis hurriedly ran towards him, his face full of joy. Seeing him like that, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, could it be Helen and their ......?

Without waiting for Lin Feng to ask, the intelligence officer happily reported to him: "Commander, good news! Good news! ”

Lin Feng listened to him say four or five good news in a row, and finally couldn't help it, and scolded with a smile: "What kind of good news?" Can't you just make it clear all at once? ”

"That's right. Just now, our communication signal receiving instrument received a distress signal from the starship Roma! The Roma hasn't sunk, it's still moving! There is a good chance that Major General Charles is also alive! Commander, do you say this is good news? ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he was overjoyed, he had always been haunted by the bad luck of the Roma. Thinking of Charles, who he had known since he was in the recruit brigade, he had an unspeakable heartache, he didn't want his brother to encounter any accidents, although reason told him that this kind of thing was difficult to avoid, and it would happen one day, but he stubbornly resisted, trying to delay the arrival of this day as much as possible. Now hearing that Charles still has a chance of surviving, the joy is simply indescribable.

"What's going on with them?" Lin Feng asked impatiently.

"I don't know. It is estimated that the damage to the starship is so severe that they may not be able to contact us directly. The distress signal is too short, and the information we can analyze is very limited. However, as long as we receive the signal again and make a precise positioning, it will not be too difficult to find the Roma. ”

"That'...... So, I'll give you three starships, and you'll have to find that Charles guy for me, and bring the Roma back!" ”

The intelligence officer hurriedly said, "Yes! Commander. With these three starships, we can cross-locate, and it's easy to find them. ”

"That's it! No more nonsense! Hurry up, every second they are rescued, their hopes of survival will be greater, you know! ”

"Oh, right away, I'll do it right away!"

Of course, there is no need to hide such good news from everyone. For a while, there were enthusiastic cheers in each starship, and some people looked up to the sky and laughed, thanking the heavens for their favor, among them, there was Chapong. Although he is often ridiculed and bullied by Charles, to be honest, among all the brothers, except for Lin Feng, Charles is the closest person to him. From the moment the Roma was struck, his heart was always gloomy, there was an indescribable sadness and pain, and in the later battles, the starship London under his command was the most fierce, and it seemed that only in this way would Chapong feel better. Well, now that Charles guy might still be alive! It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!

Completely different from the joyful atmosphere on Lin Feng's side, the Mars Alliance fleet was heavy and depressed. There is no doubt that in this battle, the alliance fleet, which has absolute superiority, lost, and lost extremely ugly, fighting for the loss of hundreds of starships, and only destroyed one of the opponent's starships. This is an incredible battle loss ratio, and it can be called a big joke in the history of human warfare.

But the captains were not silent for the sake of this shame. A loss is a loss, and the absolute disadvantage in technology is not something that can be compensated for by a numerical advantage. Can you ask a thousand hominids armed with wooden clubs to defeat a heavily armed interstellar warrior? Of course, the gap between the two is actually not that big, but that's not what people have to think about anymore. The question is, how can this end all this with dignity? Surrender? This is also a way out, but those in the alliance will generously spare their relatives?

Song Jiang didn't want to deliberately delay time, it took him a full hour to explain the content of the exchange with Lin Feng to the three hundred or so captains, and then let the captains take a look at the information about alien creatures, striving for them to have a comprehensive and objective understanding of the entire situation in order to make a decision that was in everyone's interests.

After introducing these, Song Jiang said casually: "Oh, there is another news, it may be the news that you don't want to hear now, but you want to hear." The opposing fleet is more than this. They also laid an ambush in the solar system. And this fleet, which has the same powerful combat power, is now attacking the Martian Alliance! ”

As soon as Song Jiang's words came out, it immediately caused a commotion and restlessness among the captains. They didn't expect that in the face of the thousands of starships of the Mars Alliance, they would dare to divide their troops, and the reserved fleet would actually go to the Alliance! They could even imagine what kind of ravages the Martian Alliance's weak ground forces would suffer without starship for air cover!

Song Jiang coughed heavily, suppressing the noise of the holographic video conference. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time for us to discuss, let alone to sigh for pessimism. Although the Mars Alliance has only been established for a few days, the families that make up it have been inherited for thousands of years, and everyone knows the richness of its heritage. However, if the alliance faced these starships, and faced the battle-hardened ground combat forces of the Earth Federation, what chances would it have? In my estimation, probably less than half of it! So, we should also plan ahead! ”

"What is General Song's good plan?" A few words The captain looked at Song Jiang solemnly and asked.

"Of course, this is also the side of Commander Lin's words, as for the actual situation, we have to verify it with the alliance. What I'm trying to say is, if that happens and the alliance no longer exists, what should we do? The other side asks us to end this senseless battle in a decent way. What do you think? ”

"General Song, what is a decent way?"

"First of all, we are not surrendering as vanquished, we cannot be counted prisoners of war; Second, we are not fighting this battle in the name of the Mars Alliance, and we cannot be considered rebels; Third, we will return to the Earth Federation and form a new Federation army with the Voyage Fleet, so that we can once again obtain the legal status of the Federation. ”

"General Song, can you let us think about it? After all, it's a matter of survival for our family. A captain said.

"Yes, General Song, let's take a look at the results in the solar system first! I don't want to return home and my relatives have been driven out of the city and into that horrible slum. ”

"The stakes are very high, and General Song also asks the commander of the other side for a few days of leniency."

Hundreds of captains, out of various considerations, asked Song Jiang to delay for a while, so that they could see the situation more clearly and make the most correct choice.

Song Jiang looked helpless, these guys are usually not indecisive, but when they were really faced with a major choice, they still became cautious one by one, "Okay, I'll give it a try." Don't get your hopes up too much, though. If you look at the madness they had after they crashed a starship, you can see that they still value their comrades very much. I hope it won't anger this Lin Feng, otherwise...... Ay! ”

The Mars Alliance's communication lasted nearly two hours, and finally a decision that didn't make much sense. So, Song Jiang connected to the other party's communication.

As soon as Song Jiang conveyed the captains' meaning to Lin Feng, Lin Feng smiled. This group of guys still doesn't recognize the current situation, and they still regard themselves as the ruling class on top, and they still want to be left and right to protect their own interests, and they really deserve to be the military weapons cultivated by the family.

"General Song, it took you two hours to get such a thing out?" Lin Feng said mockingly to Song Jiang with a sneer.

"Uh...... That's what everybody means. Although we have failed, we still have the value of existence, don't we? At least these tens of millions of soldiers are well-trained and elite soldiers, and having them in your plan can greatly reduce the time you spend preparing for war? Song Jiang's face flushed, but after all, he was also a witty person, and he quickly found a reason to convince Lin Feng.

"Oh, the best soldiers? An elite soldier who was defeated by twenty starships? The sarcasm on Lin Feng's face became even more obvious.

Song Jiang's face turned red all of a sudden, "General Lin Feng, the so-called soldiers can not be killed, we have failed, but we are not losing in courage, not in greed for life and fear of death, but in weapons!" Please don't insult our glory as soldiers! ”

Lin Feng's face turned straight, "General Song, I didn't underestimate your military spirit, just because you still insisted on fighting even though you lost more than half of your losses, you are very worthy of my admiration." What I hate is your two-pronged behavior. Soldiers, they must take responsibility, and in the face of justice, they should make trade-offs, rather than be afraid of moving forward. ”

was said by Lin Feng, Song Jiang was red-faced and red-eared, and he was speechless. Just as he wanted to defend again, he saw a smile on Lin Feng's face, "Okay, the problem you are worried about no longer exists. I have received information from the solar system that with the support of twenty starships, the Earth Federation has completely controlled all the planets of the Mars Alliance, and all the important members of the family have been arrested! The Martian Alliance is now a historical term! ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he was shocked, but he also felt a little relieved. What is surprising is that the Mars Alliance has been completely defeated in such a short period of time, and it is easy to see that now, the officers and men of these more than 300 starships can finally accept all the conditions of the other party without any worries.

When Song Jiang informed all the captains of the news that the Mars Alliance had been destroyed, all the captains surprisingly reached an agreement and surrendered to the fleet represented by Lin Feng.

A few minutes later, all the starships turned off the shipboard weapon systems at the same time, and handed over all the captain's authority to Lin Feng. And all this fully shows that they have completely abandoned resistance.

When the Earth Federation was on the verge of splitting, Lin Feng used tough means and a powerful fleet in his hands to completely defeat the Mars Alliance and retain the hope of mankind's future. Next, what he has to consider is how to integrate the power of human beings, so that more people have the ability to gallop in space, so that limited resources can be used to the greatest extent. However, what he didn't expect was that a person, a person who had been thinking about him for six years, suddenly appeared at this time, adding a bit of uncertainty to the already relatively good situation.

……

In the airspace tens of billions of kilometers from the solar system, there is a mysterious zone, which is filled with all kinds of interstellar matter, dust, gas, and of course, meteorites, large and small. Countless meteorites seem to have reached a delicate gravitational equilibrium, which remains relatively stationary in a universe where movement is ubiquitous.

The meteorites here are as small as a grain of rice, and the large ones are only a few tens of meters in diameter. Although it is not large, because of the vast area and the small distance between meteorites, no detection method can detect the situation within dozens of kilometers inside the meteorite belt. Because of this, little is known about this meteorite belt, and observations of it are superficial.

More than a year ago, this meteorite belt, which has been quiet since its birth, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

This is a large fleet of up to three hundred starships. Strangely, since the arrival of this fleet, they have not sailed forward, they have found a very hidden corner, quietly hiding, all the engines are turned off, all the energy shields have been reduced to the lowest level, and the frequency of external contact is also very small, almost every half a month to send a communication message.

It is curious that every month after that, more or less starships will fly in this direction. And when passing near this meteorite belt, these starships will receive a mysterious communication signal. For some reason, these starships eventually joined the mysterious fleet. This made the number of starships in that mysterious fleet continue to increase, and in just one year, it reached more than eight hundred.

And these starships that were added later seem to have received great attention, not only the engines have been greatly modified, but even the hull has been covered with a special metal substance. Of course, the internal transformation is unknown.

From time to time, the fleet will send one or two ships to fly to the periphery of the meteorite belt, or to receive some pulse wave signals, or to observe the direction of the solar system, but they usually only stay for an hour or two, and then immediately return to the meteorite belt, and they do not know what secrets are hidden.

On this day, on a starship inside the meteorite belt, a young general who looked to be in his forties suddenly received a message from outside the meteorite, roughly from the starship on duty outside. The message briefly presents the observations, which are similar to previous reports. The young general looked at it lightly, and he was not interested. However, when he saw the end, his eyebrows suddenly raised, as if he had seen something interesting, and a rare smile appeared on his always calm face.

"Strong energy fluctuations have been detected in and around billions of kilometers in and around the solar system. These fluctuations even traveled millions of kilometers, and some of them were directed towards the fleet's hidden meteorite belts. ”

"Well, interesting! There must have been some major changes in the solar system, and judging from the power of these energy fluctuations, it should be no less than the giant shaped cannon, and the characteristics of the possible volume fluctuations are obviously different from the giant shaped cannon. Could it be...... Hehe, as I expected, I'm afraid that guy made all this movement! I didn't expect that this damn guy had already returned to Earth! But what does it matter? Sooner or later, there will be a battle between me and him, and it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. I just hope he can be stronger, otherwise, how boring it would be! ”

After pondering for a long time, this person raised his head and ordered to the person next to him: "Now everyone in the fleet should immediately put down their work and step up to adapt to the erosion and penetration of the source energy on the body, so as to maximize their strength!" The old rule is that if you finish in the bottom 10 in the strength test every week, you will be expelled from the starship! I'm not a philanthropist, I don't support idlers. ”

And Lin Feng, who seemed to have his own sense in the dark, was cleaning up and rectifying the mess caused by the rebellion of the Mars Alliance in the solar system, and occasionally projected a puzzled gaze into this empty space, which seemed to be about to penetrate this vast void and find the reason for his inexplicable palpitations. Perhaps, it is not that the enemies do not get together, the arrangement of fate has made two arrogant people stage a peak duel in the birthplace of mankind! (To be continued.) )
