After the Atlantis fleet left the solar system, the First Fleet of the expeditionary force stationed in the solar system was ordered to track the enemy, and it hung far behind the enemy army.

But the strange thing is that the order given by the strategic command center is only to track, not to pursue!

There was only one word between tracking and pursuit, but the meaning was completely different, and many officers and men of the First Fleet could not understand why they did not completely eat this enemy army as they did to destroy the Atlantean occupation force.

Not only did the officers and men of the First Fleet have opinions, but there are also many people in other fleets who want to annihilate this fleet, but the top brass of the military has given up this hard-won opportunity and has not made any move.

As a result, neither the humans nor the Atlanteans made any new moves, and the war between the two sides gradually calmed down.

No one knows what kind of thoughts the Atlanteans have, but many people guess what the military top brass thinks.

War is the continuation of politics, war is bloody politics, but the soul of politics is a compromise of interests!

The reason why the military gave up on destroying this enemy army was because in this way, the military hoped to send a signal of reconciliation to the Atlanteans and end this lose-lose war - the end of the war does not necessarily have to be the basic condition of the complete elimination or enslavement of the other side, and under the premise that there is no essential conflict, even in the interstellar age, it is equally suitable for seeking common ground while reserving differences.

"Although we did not choose war on our own initiative, war often chose us! Xu Shijie waved his arms fiercely at a secret meeting of the military leadership, "From the Outer Bone War to the Atlantis War." We have been struggling in the quagmire of war for twenty-seven years, twenty-seven years, this is a whole generation! ”

"Countless excellent soldiers died on the battlefield in exchange for a place for us to survive, but we do not have a border with the Atlanteans, and this war could have been avoided if the Atlanteans had not refused to lower their heads from the beginning."

His voice grew deeper: "Our fleet has proven to the Atlanteans that we are capable of striking their homeland, that we are capable of destroying their planet. If the war continues, it will be no good for either side of the enemy, and as long as we let the Atlanteans understand this, this war that should have been avoided will lose the ground for survival. So. I think that our fleet has won a chance for our nation to restore peace! Soldiers are made for war. But peace is the greatest praise for soldiers! ”

Xu Shijie stood quietly in front of the venue, and there was silence in the audience, and after a long while, slow and lonely applause sounded. Then the senior officers who attended the meeting woke up from a dream. The thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

Is now the best time to end the war? No one can say clearly. Perhaps there will never be the best time to end a war, but every opportunity to end a war should be firmly grasped.

The Dutch philosopher Erasmus once said. The most reluctant peace is better than the most just war.

This sentence may be one-sided, and only those who have experienced the war know what it means to be "rather a peaceful dog than a troubled world".

In the final analysis, it is only when the war is over that humanity can withdraw its hand from the war and develop steadily in a peaceful environment.

Xu Shijie has the confidence to say these words, and the biggest reliance is the location of the base star.

The base star is hidden deep within the nebula, and even within the military, only a very small number of people know the specific coordinates of the base star.

The reason why the military successfully copied the portal in such a short period of time is because the use of the portal will end the history of the spaceship having to use faster-than-light to enter and exit the base star!

Now the pilots of the military, there are only a few people left who still know the coordinates of the base star, and the rest of the people have been washed of their brains about the memory related to the location of the base star, and any spaceship that wants to leave the base star must be done through the guò portal.

The portal of the Blue Light Star is the only portal to the base star, which has become the gateway to the base star, even if the Blue Light Star is discovered by the Atlanteans, as long as the portal is destroyed, the connection between the two sides can be cut off immediately.

It is impossible for the Atlanteans to break their heads, and the portal corresponding to the blue light star is actually located 1,200 light years away!

The portal located on Earth also leads directly to the blue star, and when the asteroid belt of the midway star is completely transferred, all the teleporters will leave, and the base star will become a "paradise" enclosed in a nebula.

Even if the boundaries of the Atlantis Star Kingdom can continue to expand, when they expand to the Orion Nebula two thousand light years away, they don't know that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

The military was extremely glad for the decision of the year, if the wormhole had not been kept secret when it was discovered, the United States and Russia and the Atlanteans of the present day would definitely get the news of the Star Gate, even if they did not know the detailed coordinates of the base star, they could guess that the base star must be near the Orion Nebula.

It is precisely with the dual protection of military and civilian that Xu Shijie has the confidence to propose such a proposal, but just letting go of the evacuated Atlantis fleet is obviously far from enough.

After the reef passage is blocked, the Atlantis fleet that has withdrawn from the solar system will have to fly a long distance of about 700 light years whether it returns the same way or flies to the Moro Star Field, and it will take almost a year to return to Atlantis, and the military cannot wait that long.

February 16, 2219, the fourth day of the evacuation of the Atlantis fleet from the solar system.

Eight warships belonging to the Advance Fleet, led by the Kunlun, quietly arrived near the exit of the reef passage and joined up with the reconnaissance ships that had been eyeing the area.

After the two sides converged, the captain of the reconnaissance ship boarded the Kunlun and prepared to report the situation to Commander Ye. ”

"Yes! At present, the number of enemy ships blocking the exit of the passage has increased to 4,000, and reinforcements are constantly being added, and it is estimated that in another half a month, the total number of enemy warships will increase to 5,000. "The first line of defense of the enemy is composed of 400 force field ships, which are located half a light second inside the exit of the reef, and if we want to break through the blockade, we must first break through the blockade of the force field ships." ”

The captain, who thought that the advancing fleet was going to enter the territory of Atlantis again, drew another line on the star map: "The enemy's second line of defense is dominated by lotus ships, numbering about 1,000 ships, and the position is 5,000 kilometers outside the exit of the reef.
