Chapter 224: A crushing victory is like defeat

On the alien space starport of Tikru, Bob and a group of government dignitaries were anxiously walking back and forth in the starport command center, looking up at the black cosmic starry sky from time to time.

Half an hour ago, the new fleet sent a piece of good news that was extremely exciting to them. The message was very short, with only one sentence: "Our army has completely annihilated and invaded the enemy fleet!" ”

Bob was nervously deploying troops with his men, preparing to let the ground rats, the Ground Combat Army Group, organize a defense line on the two main planets to defend against the invasion of the "unknown fleet". Because it was estimated that Pei Zhimao's new fleet might turn back on the battlefield, Bob had even given his subordinates an order to fight to the death at the wartime meeting, ready to fight the enemy at all costs.

Receiving the unexpected and surprising good news, the stone in Bob's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he sat on the ground with a long sigh of relief, and he was so weak that he couldn't stand up.

It is no wonder that the iron-blooded leader of St. Prolly originally had no hope that Hao Yi would be able to pull back the New Army fleet and turn defeat into victory and defeat the invading enemy fleet. However, this good news, which can almost be said to have the same effect as the "thunderbolt on a sunny day", made Bob's already cold, desperate and tense heart suddenly seem to be thrown into a hot spring in heaven, and suddenly loosen up. That's why he lost his temper in front of his subordinates.

However, after receiving this good news that made the whole republic boil, the Prime Minister's Office lost contact with the new fleet again, and no matter how much the communications officers called, they were never able to hear from the new fleet.

After the hot-tempered Bob scolded those communication officers, he rushed to the outer space starport with a group of government dignitaries. According to his thoughts, the new fleet will definitely return to Tikru after a great victory. Bob wanted to be the first to see the officers and men of the fleet who had shed their blood for the new republic.

"I said Lao Li, haven't you had any news yet?" Bob, who was holding a large pipe in the command center on the third floor of Star Harbor and swaying like ants on a hot pot, didn't know how many times he had asked such a question.

"Your Excellency, there is no response from the Starport radar system, and there is still no signal in the various communication channels!" The middle-aged young general, whom Bob called "Old Lee", is the commander of the most cutting-edge starport on the planet Tikru. This guy helplessly spread his hands and said to Bob: "It's true that there is no news at all, Prime Minister!" ”

"It's impossible, hurry up and search carefully, will there be any channels you forgot to search!" Bob was clearly out of order, his pipe had changed a few times, but he never smoked, just anxiously swayed back and forth.

"Commander, there is an obvious energy fluctuation in the XXX direction, it seems that a large space battleship is about to jump out!" As he spoke, the officer in charge of the radar system in the command center suddenly pointed at the holographic radar screen and shouted.

"Where!" Without waiting for the commander named Lao Li to reply, Bob rushed to the console first, stared at his bulls' eyes, and asked nervously.

"Look there!" The officer raised his hand and pointed to a certain direction on the holographic radar, and shouted excitedly: "That's right, it's our battleship......"

With the officer's shout, the entire command center suddenly erupted in an extremely excited cheer.

"Our fleet is back!" "The heroes have returned in triumph!" "Woo, great, they're finally back!" ……

Looking at the holographic radar, the new army warships that jumped out of the void one after another, Bob, who has always been known for his iron fist, slowly overflowed with a mist in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "It's back, it's back......"

A moment later, a total of more than 40 battleships with varying degrees of damage and more than 20 supply ships with similar scars slowly docked on this starport. Bob and his government dignitaries and high-ranking officers in the starport guarded the entrance of the starport command center, nervously looking at the huge automatic door.

"Buzz!" With the automatic door buzzing open, Haoyi, who was black and bloodstained on his body, led a group of senior officers of the fleet to step into the hall on the first floor of the command center with slow and heavy steps.

"Heroes, on behalf of the billions of people of the Republic, I welcome you to your triumphant return!" Seeing the miserable appearance of Haoyi and the fleet officers, Bob's heart was sour, and he hurriedly greeted him, opening his arms and shouting loudly.

"Long live the new fleet! Banzai! The crowd behind Bob couldn't help but cheer.

"Uncle!" Haoyi, who looked tired, couldn't see the slightest joy, barely squeezed out a smile, and greeted Bob lightly.

"What's wrong, Haoyi?" Bob didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, first gave Hao Yi a bear hug, patted Hao Yi on the back heavily, and then pulled Hao Yi's face to his nose, looked at it crookedly, and asked with a smile: "Why are you still unhappy after a big victory?" ”

"A crushing victory is like defeat, uncle!" Hao Yi's eyes were gloomy, he sighed heavily, and muttered softly: "Although we have completely annihilated the opponent's fleet, this battle has almost reimbursed the entire new fleet!" Hey, I don't know how many officers and men of the fleet can't return to their hometowns......"

"How can there be immortals in war!" Hearing Hao Yi's sigh, Bob stared at his bull's eyes and looked at Hao Yi carefully, as if he suddenly didn't know his uncle, and then curled his beard and comforted Hao Yi: "You are all heroes, and those officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country are even more martyrs and heroes." Because of your great sacrifices, hundreds of millions of Lebanese people in the Republic were saved from the flames of war. Kids, I'm so proud of you! ”

"Uncle......" Haoyi choked up when he heard this, lowered his head and sighed.

"Your Excellency! Sin will come to you to plead guilty! At this time, Pei Zhimao, who had a bloody bandage on his forehead and his hands handcuffed behind him, walked to Haoyi's side under the escort of two fleet gendarmes, and said to Bob with a solemn face.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Uncle, Marshal Pei wants to plead with you! Seeing Bob looking at Pei Zhimao in surprise, Haoyi hurriedly explained to him: "Before the battle, Marshal Pei was indeed deluded and mistakenly wanted to betray the Republic and surrender to the enemy!" However, at the critical moment, Marshal Pei finally came to his senses, and Zuihou worked with me to reverse the overall situation! This is a difficult matter, and I will report back to my uncle separately later. But all in all, this time our army was able to successfully annihilate the enemy army, and Marshal Pei still has a lot of credit! ”

"Uncle, you don't have to say nice things for me! If it weren't for you, maybe Pei would have made a big mistake this time and become a big sinner for the republic and hundreds of millions of people! The rewards and punishments are clear, and I Pei is willing to be punished! Please send it to the Prime Minister! Compared with the previous high spirits, Pei Zhimao at this time suddenly aged a lot, shook his head and thanked Haoyi with a wry smile, and then said to Bob solemnly.

"Okay, since Lao Tzu's niece and son-in-law said that you are meritorious, then you must not be wrong! Less fucking chirps, yours will talk about those broken birds later! Bo looked at Haoyi and Pei Zhimao in amazement, and after a little groaning, he was somewhat clear, and then scolded Pei Zhimao with a big grin, and then walked straight behind Pei Zhimao, took the key from the hands of the two gendarmes, and actually opened the handcuffs for Pei Zhimao.

"Prime Minister...... Pei Zhimao originally planned for the worst in his heart, but he didn't expect that this iron-blooded leader who had always been fierce in killing would generously uncover his extremely disgraceful page and personally untie himself. For a while, a trace of warmth suddenly surged through his heart, and he was a little choked.

"Why are you stupid? Why don't you hurry up and take the heroes to rest, and watch the show one by one on the dog day! Then Bob turned back and grinned at the helpless government officials.

"Quick, immediately prepare the landing ship and send our great heroes back to the ground camp to rest!" Xinggang Commander Lao Li hurriedly craned his neck and shouted orders to his subordinates.

"Let's go! My precious niece is going crazy thinking about you! Hey, it's been less than two days since you left, and this girl almost broke my door! While his subordinates were coaxing the officers and men of the fleet who had returned triumphantly, Bob threw down Pei Zhimao, who was a little distracted, put his arm around Haoyi's shoulder, and began to chatter and complain as he walked.

"Uh, it's not that exaggerated, uncle?" Looking at Bob, who had instantly turned into a kind elder, Haoyi said with a wry smile helplessly.

"Don't be verbose, hurry up and go back with Lao Tzu!" Bob couldn't help but half-drag Haoyi to the landing gate of Xinggang, and asked anxiously: "Also, tell me how you fought this battle?" Although Lao Tzu believes that you are a cockroach and your life is very hard, to be honest, Lao Tzu really didn't expect that you, a stunned man, could actually take the new army fleet and swallow all the mouthfuls of those dogs! Hurry up and talk about it, talk about it carefully! ”

When he was young, Bob also led a fleet to exterminate pirates, and he could be regarded as an iron-blooded general, so he was naturally quite interested in the battle of Haoyi's completely annihilating the task force with quite strong combat power.

"Alas......" On the landing ship, Haoyi sighed heavily, and told Bob intermittently about the whole battle.

At the juncture of that tragic space battle, seeing that defeat was assured, Singh, the commander of the task force, planned to withdraw from the battlefield with the remaining warships. However, almost at the same time as he gave the order to retreat, the surprise troops that Haoyi had laid out in advance came into play. Sturm, commander of the third squadron of the new fleet, appeared in the rear of the task force in time with two squads of more than 20 battleships under his command.

This sudden appearance of the new force finally made the remaining officers and soldiers of the task force completely collapse, and even Singh was disorganized, not knowing how to command his subordinates to break out of the encirclement.

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the new fleet, which had been fighting hard for a long time, and under the leadership of Haoyi, Pei Zhimao and other officers, one or two people rushed towards the task force with red eyes.

The task force was soon bombarded by the new fleet and could not find the north, and even Singh's flagship was directly bombed in two after a round of heavy artillery fire. The remaining warships of the task force fell into extreme confusion due to the loss of unified command. In less than five minutes, it was bombarded into space wreckage by the new fleet.

"You mean it's possible that Jeff was killed in that scuffle?" Hearing Haoyi say that the flagship of the task force was blown in two, Bob was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Space warfare is impossible to find the corpses of the other side. But unless that damn Jeff can become a god, he won't survive! Haoyi nodded lightly, affirmatively.

"Huh......" Hearing Haoyi's words, Bob finally let out a long breath.
