On August 25, 2918, Jiang Ziyue and Lota led 300 cruisers to the Europa planetary system where the planet Neurhine is located. 1(6) k small says αр.(1)(6) finishing

Originally, I thought that I was in front of the enemy, but I didn't expect to receive a radio notification of the fall of the "bow" and "wave" space station as soon as I changed to sail faster than light, and then an unmanned notification ship from Novorhine confirmed the battle report and transmitted the new enemy situation to them.

"I really didn't expect it, but what I was worried about still happened." In the communication system, Jiang Ziyue felt a little regretful. If instead of returning to the rubble asteroid, the enemy might not have dared to attack directly.

"Ziyue, without further ado, we should set off to intercept the enemy's fleet." Lota urged.

Jiang Ziyue thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, our strength is still too small, we should focus on holding New Rhine, and other planetary bases and space stations can't take care of it." ”

"Yes, sir." Lotta? Stoldt has always been almost obedient to Jiang Ziyue in military command.

Jiang Ziyue immediately sent a notification ship to the rubble asteroid twenty-five light-years away, urging Gus to come as soon as possible, and at the same time led the fleet to fly to New Rhine, preparing to meet the fierce opponent. But after arriving in space near New Rhine, Jiang Ziyue found that the seriousness of the situation was beyond his imagination.

The aggression of the Commonwealth Wehrmaf fleet in the Europa planetary system has caused panic among the people on the planet Neu-Rhine. Many corrupt bureaucrats were the first to flee after learning of the invasion of the Federation Army, which caused a psychological breakdown among the people, and many people packed up their belongings and rushed to the spaceport to flee to the planets in the heart of the empire. For a time, the space planes shuttling between the ground and the space orbital station were overcrowded. Some extremist democracy activists on the planet, who have always had close ties with the Federation, also seized the opportunity to wreak havoc, organize anti-political activities, and spread rumors, further aggravating the 'chaos' and 'chaos' of the public order situation, and even triggering large-scale 'chaos'.

The Governor and Sheriff of the New Rhine Planet were inexperienced in dealing with this drastic decline and were almost helpless. The commander of the Frontier Fleet, who patrolled here, was also slow to act, not only unprepared to defend the planet, but also overwhelmed by the social turmoil on the ground.

Jiang Ziyue and his cruiser fleet, which arrived in the name of the Senate and the detachment of the "Haraldi" detachment of the Central Fleet under the rule of the Roman people, gave hope to the panicked local officials.

Planetary Governor Adam? Christensen asked Jiang Ziyue expectantly in the communication system: "Commander, how many warships did you bring?" Before the fall of the "bow" and "wave", the notification ship reported that there were more than 1,000 enemy ships. ”

Out of the need for secrecy and for the sake of stabilizing people's hearts, Jiang Ziyue did not explain the specific size of his fleet, but said confidently: "Please rest assured, Mr. Governor, we have enough strength to keep the enemy coming and going." ”

Planetary Sheriff Ksenia? Ilyaevna? Shchedrin hurriedly 'interjected': "Now the whole planet is 'chaotic', and the police and senate guards are not strong enough, and it is difficult to stop the 'riot' and 'chaos' and the 'tide' of refugees." Commander, we ask for your help in stopping the social unrest. ”

"Of course." Jiang Ziyue immediately agreed, "I will immediately go to the Governor's Mansion to meet with you, and send the Interstellar Marines to assist the police and the Senate Guards." ”

"Great, Commander." Christensen exclaimed happily.

Jiang Ziyue then 'handed over' the command of the fleet to Lotta? Stoldt, leaving the flagship "Siegfried", headed for the surface of the planet Novorhine. At the same time, more than 5,000 interstellar marines who will accompany the fleet will be sent to hot spots on the planet to help local authorities clean up the social situation.

At this time, the planet Neo-Rhine is near aphelion, the planet is in a long winter, and even the equatorial region where Europa's star shines is cold. Christensen took the staff of the Governor's Mansion and several heads of the Planetary National Council and the Political Coordination Committee to brave the cold and walk out of the warm Governor's Palace to greet the Imperial Army Commander who came in person.

According to the administrative level, the Planetary Governor, the Speaker of the Planetary Council, and the Chairman of the Political Coordination Committee are all "alternate elders outside the hospital", far above Jiang Ziyue, the commander of the Central Fleet Detachment, so there is no need to come out to greet him in person. However, the local government has always had great respect for the Central Fleet, and its commanders will be received with a high standard when they visit, not to mention that the arrival of the Central Fleet is of vital significance for maintaining planetary stability.

The chariot descended from the heavenly court by the aerospace aircraft "Bodhi Ye" and landed smoothly on the square in front of the Governor's Palace. Jiang Ziyue, who was fired from the border fleet, actually did not have the status of a regular soldier, so he only appeared in front of the bureaucrats appointed by the Senate in a black 'colored' tunic suit. But he wore a large number of medals and medals on his left 'chest', especially the oak-leaf gold Caesar Medal on the top, which shone far more brightly than the ordinary officer's epaulettes.

After the etiquette 'sex' greetings, Jiang Ziyue went directly to Sheriff Ksenia? Shchedrin asked: "Duke Shchedrin, have you gathered the militia?" ”

Xie Delin replied: "Jiang Gong, the militia work of the New Rhine is all in charge of the Interstellar Mining Company, and the commander Ma Yingcong and the command are stationed in the 'Bow' and 'Wave' space stations all year round, and now their whereabouts are unknown. There are also a lot of militias on the ground, and many of them have been concentrated in militia clubs. But neither Christensen nor I had the authority to transfer them. ”

The only 'gates' of violence that the Planetary Governors and Sheriffs have in their hands are the police under their respective commands, and they also have some command authority over the Senate Guard, which is similar to the gendarmerie and the Senate Guard, which is mainly used to defend the political organs. However, militias, which are mostly made up of veterans, are often controlled by local state-owned enterprises, and local administrative authorities do not have the authority to use them.

Because the Senate valued military power above anything else, it systematically dispersed local military power as much as possible. The militia has the same equipment as the regular army's Star Marines, and some planetary militias even have cruisers. In contrast to the police, who were only used to maintain law and order, and the Senate guards, who stood guard in front of the government building in most cases, the militia was powerful enough to launch an armed rebellion on its own. Therefore, the Senate placed the command of the militia in state-owned enterprises, where the concept of the overall situation was often stronger than that of local government.

The advantages of such a system are not obvious, but the disadvantages have been vividly 'exposed'. When thugs are needed at the moment, the militia can only stay in the militia clubs, and no one can command them.

Jiang Ziyue understands the militia system, and the local government does not move them, but his current commander of the detachment of the Central Fleet is different. In times of war, he could call on behalf of the Senate to all the violent organs of the state in the theater of war.

Therefore, he resolutely said to the sheriff: "Duke Shchedrin, inform the militia that Jiang Ziyue, commander of the 'Haraldi' detachment of the Central Fleet, has officially taken over the supreme military command of this planet and the surrounding planetary systems. Let all their squadron leaders and above officers immediately contact the Governor's Mansion to receive my orders. If anyone neglects, order the Senate guards to arrest them and send them directly to us. ”

"Okay, Jiang Gong." Shchedrin happily replied.

The Governor said, "Lord Christensen, please prepare a television broadcast to all the bases on the planet and beyond, and we need to let the people know that we are safe and everybody." ”

"Okay." Governor Christensen immediately turned to Diego, the procurator next to him who was in charge of political speeches and public publicity? Gatto: "Gather all the media and set up the studio right now. ”

"Mr. Governor, I think it would be more effective on the steps of the Governor's Palace." Diego? Gatto quickly offered his opinion.

Gatto's opinion attracted Jiang Ziyue's attention to the Governor's Palace.

Compared to the other planets of the Empire, New Rhine is relatively poor, but her Governor's Mansion is quite luxurious. It is made of 'flower' granite on a high platform, with abrupt Greek gables, huge Roman columns, and gold-encrusted European carvings...... All of them show the majesty and honor of power, and at the same time, they also witness the extravagant and extravagant style of government officials.

Regardless, the baroque building feels solid and safe. Perhaps it symbolizes the rock-solid foundations of the new Roman Empire.

"That's a good idea." Jiang Ziyue deeply agreed with the opinion of the Xuanda official, and then asked: "This prince is ......?"

"Under the Senate and the Roman people, the Propaganda Officer of the Viceroyalty of the New Rhine, Diego? Gato. Gato solemnly introduced himself. This person is not good-looking, and the only thing that can impress the first acquaintance is the surprisingly large mouth. This is quite related to his position.

"Fortunately, Gatto." Jiang Ziyue shook hands with him warmly.

"I immediately gathered the media and prepared for the shoot. I would like to ask you and Mr. Governor to prepare a transcript of your speech. "Be careful with your words, and convince the crowd that you can knock the enemy away without much effort." ”

"Okay, I'll try." Jiang Ziyue nodded and replied.

He was not good at speaking, and when he was a student, he was disillusioned with his ambition to run for the president of the student union because of his wooden performance on stage. He still remembers that after the incident, Qi Teng, who served as an assistant, complained that he had failed to win the favor of the 'girl' students and lost the votes of their boyfriends.

Gato acted very efficiently, and in less than half an hour, dozens of reporters and hundreds of video media cameras gathered in front of the Doge's Palace.

Christensen did not prepare the speech, because Gatto had already prepared it for him. A discreet image on the podium showed everything, and Christensen read it out, with the appropriate tone and expression.

But Jiang Ziyue had to independently complete the first "book" that was about to be released to the public. However, Gato also boldly asked for his electronic text, which was polished during the governor's speech. Soon Jiang Ziyue got the revised version of the speech, and only then did he realize that the heartfelt words he had originally prepared to the new Rhine father had been completely tampered with into a series of lies!

"How can you say that, Gattogong?" Jiang Ziyue was dissatisfied with Diego? Gatto said, "What Federalist army can't do but a gopher?" And this, our army has always had one ship and ten enemy ships? This is even more blatant lying, I participated in the whole battle of the 'Yi' Star Field, and although the enemy's 13th Fleet was damaged, it was far from the point of total annihilation. ”

"Jiang Gong, propaganda is needed." "Now is not the time to put your heart in your heart, but to promote your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, boost morale, and 'boost' your fighting spirit." The key is to stabilize people's hearts, isn't that exactly what you want? Besides, it's not wrong to treat the enemy as a puppy and strategically despise the enemy. There are also the ten ships of our army, which fought near the planet 'Taiji' last year and the 'Yi' star field in May this year, didn't you get a commendation for this? In the end, even if the 13th Fleet was not destroyed, we all know that the Federal Ministry of Defense issued an obituary, saying that nearly 100,000 officers and men of the 13th Fleet sacrificed their lives for the country. So we're only telling part of the truth, and we're not lying. ”

At the end, Gato also confidently added: "Jiang Gong, believe me, it's right." ”

Jiang Ziyue felt that the other party was not convincing himself, but like a salesman. But in the end, it was a manuscript that Gato had tampered with.

Adam, Governor of the New Rhine Planet? After Christensen finished his seemingly confident speech, he announced to the people of New Rome on the planet and in the surrounding space: "Now, please lead the Central Fleet to defend the planet New Rhine, who once pointed out that a destroyer nearly repelled thirteen enemy warships, defeated the strong many times in the past 'Yi' Star Field Battle, and won the Golden Caesar Medal twice before the age of twenty-eight, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Ziyue, the commander of the Senate and the Roman people, to give us an important speech!" ”

Officials and reporters at the bottom of the stairs immediately erupted in applause, while the surrounding megaphones rang out with Richard? In Wagner's march of "Under the Twin Eagles", the nine interstellar marines wearing power armor who came with Jiang Ziyue also walked up the steps neatly. After that, Gato asked Jiang Ziyue to go up, standing on the majestic steps of the Governor's Palace, in front of the powerful figure of the power armor, and began to address the planet New Rhine and the surrounding people.

"The people of New Rome are the commanders of the fleets under the Senate and the Roman people, Jiang Ziyue. He was ordered to lead a fleet to protect everyone from the enemy. We all know that the planet Neo-Rhine and the entire Europa planetary system have faced aggression from the evil Federation army, and the outer space station "Bow" and "Wave" has fallen. ”

"But the federal army is nothing more than a gopher, and the quality of its soldiers, technical and tactical level, is far inferior to that of our people's army. Our army has always used one ship to defeat ten ships. As you all know, last year in the vicinity of the planet 'Taiji', he repelled an invading fleet of thirteen warships of the Federation Army with a mere frigate. From May to June this year, our army carried out a 'sexual' strike against the enemy's ace fleet, the 13th Fleet, near the interstellar planet 'Yi', and completely annihilated it. ”

Gato wasted no time in letting the photographic robot focus all the cameras on the oak leaf gold Caesar medal on Jiang Ziyue's left 'chest', so that the people in the whole region could see that the bald boy on the stereoscopic image was not talking big and bragging. In fact, many people have seen Jiang Ziyue from various propaganda as early as June, when Wang Zeren's attempt was frustrated in disguise in the Senate, so Fischer spared no effort to publicize how Jiang Ziyue was good at fighting, and touted him as the reincarnation of Mars, the god of war. Of course, the big-mouthed Diego? Gatto also played a big part in it.

"Therefore, although the enemy is extremely cunning and ferocious, there is no need to be alarmed by the arrival of the enemy. The Senate and the Central Fleet under the rule of the Roman people were fully capable of ensuring everyone's safety. Please actively respond to the call of the Governor and Zhengfǔ, and follow the instructions of the people's police around you......" After saying a lot of requirements, Jiang Ziyue once again assured according to Gato's revised draft:

"The people of New Rome, who have been humiliated in the sea of stars for nearly ten years, have never fought a battle that has not been victorious. Please forgive me for being ashamed of my humble position, which is a symbol of victory and a harbinger of the enemy's defeat! So, please just wait at home and report the good news as soon as possible - VENI, VIDI,"
