Chapter 410: You can only persevere
South Baka Star, the continent of Milidadis, the Savage Plains.
A fierce battle has just ended, and the vast plains are littered with cooling and solidifying magma, large and small, some of which are the corpses of Silicon Phantom warriors, and some of which are destroyed warplanes and ships. There are also many human warriors, most of them busy rescuing their wounded companions, and some are cleaning up the battlefield. In the air, two small warships were receiving the wounded, and several smaller warships were hovering nearby.
They are warriors, but they are not soldiers, they are the civilian armed forces of the colonial galaxy.
Under the smoke of gunpowder, this originally heavenly planet has long been changed beyond recognition.
The name "Nanbaka" comes from the Baka people who first came here and settled here. More than 4,000 years ago, the Baka people were one of the most powerful civilizations in the North Fourth Region, and once had the strongest military and economic power in the North Fourth Region, and their native area was this twin star system.
Because of the greater mass of the main-sequence stars, the South Baka system is the center of this twin star system, and the South Baka star is the home of the Baka people.
It is a pity that in the Second Greenwich War more than 3,000 years ago, the Baka people perished.
It's just that how the Baka people perished, no one can say clearly. Although according to the official historical records of the Galactic Alliance, the Baka people were defeated by the Silicon Alliance in the Second Greenwich War, but in that war, the losses suffered by the Galactic Alliance were not heavy, and the Silicon Charm army only crossed the Greenwich Line and did not penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, which is south of the North 4th Sector, hundreds of light-years away from the Greenwich meteorite belt. Before the Galactic Alliance launched a counterattack, the Silicon Charm army had not advanced to the vicinity of the South Baka system. After the demise of the Baka people, the Cretans established a brilliant commercial civilization and became the rulers of the South Baka system. It's just that the Cretans didn't last long. After the Fifth Greenwich War. The Nanbaka system became a colony of the Human Federation. Thanks to its unique natural environment, the Nanbaka system, especially the Nanbaka star, has become the most famous tourist destination in the Human Federation. Before the outbreak of this war, there were more than two billion inhabitants of Nanbaka Star, and they were mainly tourists.
Of course, it's all rich people.
Purely in terms of the natural environment. The South Baka star is certainly the best planet in the North Alpha system.
After taking over Nanbaka, the Human Federation intends to change its name, and for this purpose, it also solicits names from the public. It was only after the Galactic Alliance Council ruled that the Human Federation only had jurisdiction over the Northern Fourth Region and did not own bamboo sticks, that the federal authorities gave up the idea of changing the name of the South Baka Star.
Subsequently, the millennium-long era of peace and prosperity was born.
Actually, in the Fifth Greenwich War. The star of Nanbaka was not seriously damaged. The main thing is that this place is too far away from the main battlefield, although it is occupied by the Silicon Charm army, but the Silicon Charm Alliance has not expanded its attack in this direction, and it has not transformed the South Baka Star. When the Human Legion launched a counterattack to drive away the Silicon Charm army entrenched here, Nanbaka still maintained its original appearance.
Since then, the Human Federation has spent about a hundred years remediating the natural environment of Nanbaka Star. Make it habitable for humans.
Since then, the star of South Baka has become a resort within the federal territory of mankind.
On this not very large planet. The oceans cover 70 percent of the surface area, and most of the land is located near the equator. Because there are two stars nearby, there is plenty of sunshine even at night, and the temperature is warm all year round. It can be said that it is a dream for many people to spend a holiday in South Baka Star and live here for a while. Some wealthy people have even built holiday estates here.
In fact, what Nanbaka Star has is only the environment.
Thousands of years ago, the Baka people exploited the precious resources on the planet Nanbaka. After that, for more than two thousand years under the rule of the Cretans, the remaining mineral resources of the South Baka star were also fully exploited. Wait until humans are stationed. There are no more resources worth exploiting in the South Baka star.
It can be said that if Nanbaka Star wants to develop, it can only rely on tourism.
Because there are no resources and the strategic location is not very critical, Nanbaka Star is not so conspicuous on the map of the Human Federation.
In the same way, the Silicon Alliance did not regard Nanbaka as its main target.
However, it would be a big mistake to think that it would be possible to easily capture the South Baka Star.
Thanks to its unique natural environment, Nanbaka is the most inhabited colonial planet, with more than one billion permanent residents alone, and if you count tourists from other places, it must be more than two billion. At certain times, such as spring and autumn when the climate is most suitable, or major festivals, the population of Nanbaka exceeds 2.5 billion, and can even reach 3 billion, almost ten times that of other colonized planets.
What's more, the people who come to Nanbaka Star for vacation or live are wealthy people.
According to official information from federal authorities, there are about 100,000 islands on the planet Nambaka, of which more than 90,000 have been sold to private individuals.
It can be said that owning an island on the planet South Baka and building a resort estate on the island is a status symbol.
Of course, the wealthy who have the money to buy an island on Nanbaka and build a resort estate must also have their own private spaceship and a large team of bodyguards.
Although there is no exact data, there must be quite a few armed men on the South Baka star, not 100 million, but 50 million.
In addition, after the outbreak of the war, many wealthy people fled their home system. Although it is safer to travel to other regions, especially the center, due to various factors, not everyone can travel to the center, so Nanbaka has become a more realistic option.
Because it is far away from the Greenwich Line, it does not have much strategic value, and there are many wealthy people living here, so the Human Federation did not deploy many troops on South Bakka, but only symbolically sent a garrison mainly responsible for law and order, with a total strength of less than 50,000 troops, and no heavy equipment.
If the Silicon Charm Alliance had dispatched the main force, Nanbaka would have fallen long ago.
It's just that, in the eyes of the Silicon Charm Alliance, it is not worth using the main army for this planet. Attacking a colonial planet with only five legions is not necessary to use the main legion. Perhaps in the eyes of the commander of the Silicon Charm army, as long as the Silicon Charm army arrives, the garrison of Nanbaka Star will flee when they hear the news. Indeed, after the fall of Crete, the garrison of Nanbaka was frightened, and a large number of deserters appeared, and even the commander of the garrison quietly fled from Nanbaka soon after under the pretext of returning to his home system. When the Silicon Phantom Legion arrived, there were less than 10,000 Federation soldiers left on the planet Nanbaka, and they were already panicking.
The garrison has military spacecraft and also controls the route, so escape is not a problem. For the wealthy who have a private spaceship, leaving Nanbaka is not a problem. However, for most of the inhabitants of Nanbaka, there was no way to escape, but to stay and resist.
Of course, there are still some rich people who are unwilling to flee and unwilling to accept their fate.
Among them is the Jade family.
The Nanbaka galaxy is less than ten light-years away from the Cretan galaxy, although it is not on the shipping route, but it is very close to the western region, and the environment is suitable, so for a long time, the Nanbaka star has been the advance base of the Jade family facing the western region, and the headquarters responsible for the operation of the western region is located here.
In charge of the business is Yuyang, a very ambitious young man.
Under his organization, not only were all the people of the Yu family mobilized, but many wealthy people stayed, and their personal bodyguards were incorporated into the militia, which was under the unified command of the Yu family. In addition, Yuyang also used every means he could think of to get enough weapons and equipment for this civilian army, many of which came from the warehouses of the garrison. When they fled, the garrison did not take all the weapons and equipment with them.
The number of troops is not very large, only a hundred thousand, but they know Nanbaka better than the enemy.
What's more, every island and manor on Nanbaka is a fortified fortress that will be difficult to breach unless the enemy uses a devastating strike force, at least at a very heavy cost and a lot of time.
Under the command of Yuyang, this civilian armed force held out for several months, withstanding dozens of attacks by the Silicon Charm army.
Although the losses were heavy, less than 20,000 of the more than 100,000 soldiers who joined at the beginning were still fighting, and the number of dead exceeded 70,000, but the Silicon Charm army also paid an extremely heavy price, and at least ten legions were incapacitated due to excessive casualties. Crucially, the victories have greatly boosted the morale of the army, and also given hope to those residents who could not flee and were forced to stay. As a result, after several months of fighting, the number of troops has not decreased, but has increased from more than 100,000 to nearly 1 million. Although most of them are new recruits, in fact, civilians who have taken up arms, the combat effectiveness of this team should not be underestimated.
It's just that this situation can't be sustained forever.
Although the Nanbaka Star is not very important and does not have a great impact on the entire battle situation, it has not been attacked for a long time, and the commander of the Silicon Charm army has long been annoyed and angry. What's more, the Silicon Charm army is preparing for the Western Region, and before that, it must be pacified in the rear. The South Baka system is only ten light-years away from the Cretan system, and even if the local civilian forces are not capable of attacking the Cretan system, they will attack the transport ships bound for the Cretan system, threatening the supply lines of the Silicon Phantom army, thus affecting the operation of the western region.
It can be said that as long as the Silicon Charm army sends the main army, it will not be a problem to capture Nanbaka.
Besides, the Silicon Charm army doesn't even need to capture Nanbaka, they only need to destroy this planet, or even the entire star system, to eliminate the consequences.
Yuyang knew very well that they wouldn't last long. It's just that the South Baka Star has long been blocked by the Silicon Charm fleet, and they don't have any warships. Even if you can break through, you won't be able to take all the inhabitants with you. All Yuyang could do was to try to persevere, and the battle just now made his persistence rewarding.
