Section 1 The fall of the crown prince
Like the commanders of countless planets that attack and defend, Teresa? Admiral Quiller habitually floats in front of the porthole, admiring the planet she guards.
Looking down from space: the middle of the surface of the planet "Atlantis" is full of red and black fluids stirring each other, during which the electric light and flames flicker frequently, the scene is terrifying, and even makes the viewer feel evil, and because of this, the white ** fields at both ends of the planet appear more peaceful and pure.
The "Poseidon" joint shipyard, painted with various brightly colored engineering logos, stretched out its arms and stretched out the void, guarding this "paradise in hell".
To be the only female general of the Perseus Star Federation National Guard, Teresa? Quiller has extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary courage, as the commander of the "Plato" star field, originally she had the powerful National Guard Tenth Fleet in addition to the entire "Poseidon" combined shipyard, but now, except for the shipyard itself, and some scattered small warships that can almost be ignored in the fleet battle, there is no available force, and even the interstellar marines who were originally stationed in the joint shipyard and various space stations were also transferred to the "Aegis" planet to participate in the general battle.
Quiller had always feared that the enemy would take advantage of this opportunity to attack the combined shipyard of the planet "Atlantis" and "Poseidon". Although the news of the "Aegis" star field was delivered by the unmanned notification ship, at the same time, another piece of information about the whereabouts of the Empire's escaped fleet only added to her worries.
Therefore, when the unmanned reconnaissance ship and probe discovered the fleet of the new Roman Empire outside the sheath of the star "Plato", Quiller immediately ordered the evacuation of all the personnel of the space station in the planetary system, and transported the supplies on it to the United Shipyard as much as possible, and then blew it up without hesitation.
The female general's strategy seems to be very simple, the enemy is fleeing on the battlefield, and their logistical supply ships are destroyed, and the distance from the planet "Aegis" to "Atlantis" must be difficult in its energy supply, so she decisively chooses the strategy of strong walls and clear fields.
Now, the time is almost up, and the next thing to do is to disassemble the "Poseidon" combined shipyard into the "Poseidon" combined fleet.
Civilians and workers who had nothing to do with the battle were evacuated from the shipyard by air planes and returned to the "Atlantis" star ground, unnecessary equipment, structural parts and materials were separated into specific orbits, and interstellar marines and militiamen put on space combat suits and entered their posts to start the combat procedures of each module.
At the sound of the command, the huge annular space station began to split, and then the attitude controllers on the separated modules quickly operated, causing them to gradually separate, and the United Shipyard became fragmented, disintegrating the combat modules of different shapes distributed in the synchronous geostationary orbit of the planet "Atlantis".
In less than an hour: the "Poseidon" combined shipyard was successfully disassembled into combat modules in the number of up to ten thousand three hundred and fifty-seven combat modules.
"Great, battle formation right away!" Teresa? Admiral Quiller was very pleased with the dismantling of the shipyard and hastened to give further orders.
The admiral's combat module is numbered "Trident" 001, the scale of this module is quite huge, the box-shaped hull is thirty kilometers long, three thousand meters wide, and five thousand meters high, which is larger than any active warship of the Bundeswehr and the Imperial Army in terms of volume, and in peacetime, it is the command and control core of the entire United Shipyard; In wartime, it is the most powerful module.
It has more than 20,000 directional energy weapons, 5,000 electromagnetic cannons and 6,000 missile launch tubes under the surface of its seemingly ordinary hull, and its ammunition and energy reserves are very sufficient, which can carry out long-lasting high-intensity battles level.
Moreover, with the advent of the epoch-making "Space Storm" tactic, the "Trident" 001, which is not equipped with the "Akberi" engine, and even the entire "Poseidon" combined fleet, will obviously be more passive in the upcoming battles.
Teresa? Admiral Quiller was well aware of the disadvantages faced by her fleet without the Akberi engine, so she connected to the ground and unequivocally told the local government and council of the planet Atlantis that the United Shipyard could not take on the responsibility of defending it.
"I will immediately command my fleet to retreat, therefore, as soon as the Imperial army is in the city, I suggest that you declare the planet undefended and accept the rule of the enemy, only in this way can the planet be protected from artillery fire, and you can also present the 10,000,000 units of metal hydrogen stored in the base of 'Socrates' to the enemy and change their impression!"
Suddenly, local officials and councilors were enraged by her words, and they protested one after another, and some people shouted angrily: "General, running away without a fight like this is simply insulting the entire Immortal Star Federation!" ”
Quiller didn't seem to intend to waste his words on these politicians, and calmly responded: "All the militia have been transferred to the shipyard by me, you are powerless to resist the enemy, I must retreat at once to save the whole shipyard!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the admiral cut off the communication, earlier, she had also envisioned a rather complicated defense plan, but she was not the first day to deal with these bureaucrats, she knew very well that these guys would only be able to speak their tongues, once they led the fleet to retreat, they would inevitably collapse and quickly surrender to the enemy, so they simply left them behind and implemented another set of plans, in order to make the planetary managers more desperate, Quiller also took away all the civilian ships stationed in the surrounding space, and even most of the public aerospace planes on the ground were destroyed by her order, It makes it difficult for local magnates to fly.
The only people she left behind were the 100 Interstellar Marines guarding the Socratic base, but these men were specially deployed by the Admiral and would play a vital role in the next battle.
Very much, the huge "Poseidon" combined fleet was pulled out and accelerated away from the planet "Atlantis" in a loose formation.
"Sir, can we really defeat the invasion of the new Roman Empire by doing this?"
The subordinates boldly asked Teresa? Admiral Quiller questioned, but they were soon answered by the female general, who was full of confidence in victory:
"We will annihilate the enemy and make history!"
"We will annihilate the enemy and make history!"
The same words echoed in the ears of the soldiers of the New Roman Empire.
In the tactical command center of the battleship "Lin Biao": "Mao? Marsh? Vice Admiral Li Jingxian, commander of the "East" detachment, mobilized his subordinates with great ambition.
Despite the disparity in strength, the commanders on both sides showed confidence in victory, but they knew very well that they were taking a desperate gamble.
The intelligence returned by the unmanned reconnaissance ship confirmed the original inference, the commander of the Perseus Interstellar Federation had dismantled the "Poseidon" United shipyard and was leaving the planet "Atlantis" at full speed, but the Federation's own destruction of all the space stations in the "Plato" star system made Li Jingxian feel disappointed, because his fugitive fleet had been driven to the point of near exhaustion.
The seemingly mighty fleet energy was exhausted, and it was difficult to maintain whether it was superluminal flight or fierce battles, Li Jingxian's goal of snatching the metal hydrogen energy of various space stations failed, and he had to take economical measures, and after entering the solar sheath of the "Plato" star, he approached the planet "Atlantis" by counter-propulsion.
This act of the Imperial Army confirms even more that Theresa? Admiral Quiller had previously deduced that the enemy was running low on energy, so she quickly changed her original deployment and ordered the combined fleet to slow down, move away from the planet "Atlantis" at the speed of a thousandth of the light, and turn her back on the enemy army.
At about 17 o'clock on April 13, 2920, after two days of counter-propulsion, the Central Fleet of the New Roman Empire "Mao? Marsh? The "East" detachment is finally approaching the synchronous orbit of the planet "Atlantis".
He personally led a large army to press the border, and the enemy army really heard and fled far away, Li Jingxian couldn't help but be very proud, and ordered: "Give the authorities of the planet 'Atlantis' an ultimatum: live or destroy, they decide for themselves!" ”
As soon as the telegram was sent, the local government of the planets of the Perseus Star Federation announced its surrender to the Imperial Army, and said that it was willing to sacrifice 10 million units of metallic hydrogen from the "Socrates" base in the "Latin" region.
General Li Jingxian conquered a human planet for the first time in his life, and it was bloodless, so he happily prepared to land on the planet "Atlantis" by an aerospace plane, so that he would also be the first senate and Roman general in history to set foot on the planet of the Perseus Star Federation as a victor.
Commander of the third detachment of the detachment, Adolphina? Anatoly, Colonel Steinmez's operational staff officer? Major Sherinsky, strongly opposed to the general doing this, and he said: "You should stay in the fleet, prevent the enemy fleet from coming back, let the Star Marines take over the 'Socrates' base, and then dispatch all the aerospace planes to transport the metallic hydrogen back to the fleet, so that it is more appropriate!" ”
"Your words make a lot of sense, Major!" Li Jingxian agreed, but then he said proudly: "Actually, I have already sent the interstellar marines and the aerospace plane, but I must personally go to the planet to receive the landing, this is a supreme honor, a sacred duty entrusted by the Senate and the Roman people!" ”
"Sir, the enemy fleet is less than ten astronomical units away from us. Although they don't have the 'Akuberi' engine, once they get back to the carbines......"
Major Sherinsky's communications were cut off and replaced by Adolphina? Colonel Steinmetz.
"Sir, please forgive your subordinates for being careless, but I also ask you to seriously consider your own safety!" The female colonel said calmly.
"Colonel Steinmetz, I must go to the planet 'Atlantis'!" Li Jing first said firmly, and then cut off the communication, the caution and apprehension of his men made him feel no, he himself knew very well that the enemy did not flee far, and had the advantage in strength and firepower, but what about an armed merchant fleet operated by workers?
In the eyes of Li Jingxian, the "aristocracy" of the new Roman Empire, he simply looked down on these "irregular troops" who were already on the way to escape.
Accompanied by the magnificent and melodic "Mao? Marsh? Eastern March: The chief aerospace aircraft of the battleship "Lin Biao" "913" gracefully landed on the airfield of the "Socrates" base in the northern part of the "Latin" zone: the leaders of the city administration and council of the planetary region "Atlantis" were present to greet them.
As the first general of the new Roman Empire to successfully occupy and land on the territory of the Interstellar Federation of Immortals during the war, Li Jingxian was elated and high-spirited, he tried his best to resist the discomfort and weakness brought by gravity, and met the vanquished one by one with the pride of the conqueror.
The fourth person to be received by him was a Chinese man dressed in the dress of an officer of the Interstellar Federation National Guard, who saluted General Li with the standard federal military salute and reported loudly:
"Major Feng Baishan of the National Guard of the Immortal Star Federation reports to you, General, at the same time, I now officially inform you that you and these subordinates you have landed have all fallen into our encirclement, please surrender immediately!"
"Oh!" Li Jing first sneered proudly.
The other party's look of victory did not make him feel the slightest danger, on the contrary, the report from the Imperial Army Interstellar Marines who had landed and occupied the occupation in advance strengthened his confidence, the Imperial Marines had searched the entire "Socrates" military base, and they did not find anything abnormal, and the remaining hundred officers and soldiers of the Federal National Guard were also quite cooperative, and gave all the supplies to the base.
"General, I'm sure your smile is fake!" Major Feng Baishan smiled treacherously: "Ten million units of metallic hydrogen have been installed with a detonating device by us, and they are directly controlled by my consciousness, you are now standing on a super bomb, and at the same time standing in front of a super fuse!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present was taken aback, especially the officials of the British Commonwealth itself, the marines of the New Roman Imperial Army quickly aimed their weapons at Feng Baishan.
Li Jingxian hurriedly signaled his subordinates to lay down their weapons, as the son of a high-ranking cadre of the empire and the commander of the imperial army, he knew that what Feng Baishan said was true.
With the latest biotechnology, human beings have been able to successfully use the consciousness generated by the brain to connect with biological computers, and the connection between them cannot be interfered with and deciphered at present, because their core principles are quantum communication and nonlinear coding, and now as long as Feng Baishan is willing, he can detonate all metal hydrogen at any time, and Li Jingxian's dry imperial army will be blown into interstellar dust, and before the control process of those biological computers on those terrifying laser fuses is terminated, killing Feng Baishan will immediately cause an explosion.
But very, Li Jingxian seemed to be fearless, and said confidently: "Major Feng Baishan, I don't think you have the guts to detonate this 10 million units of metallic hydrogen!" ”
In May 2018, before the first Battle of the Yi Star Field, the Imperial Army itself detonated 10,000 units of metallic hydrogen on the supply ship "Mount Olympus" in space, causing an extremely shocking effect.
Now the total mass of 10 million units of metallic hydrogen here is as high as 150 million tons, if it is detonated at the same time, the planet "Atlantis" will inevitably be cut off a large piece, just like a big bite of an apple, in addition, the planet will be pushed out of its original orbit, and even completely torn apart, and then cause the gravitational field of the entire "Plato" star system to change dramatically, causing a serious cosmic catastrophe.
However, Feng Baishan's words were full of ruthless coldness:
"The Fathers of Atlantis and I are honored to be with you on the apocalypse, General!"
Seeing that he regarded death as his home, and even ignored the life and death of the planet "Atlantis" and the tens of millions of people on it, fear and shock immediately surged into Li Jingxian's face.
"General Li, you and the subordinates who landed are our hostages, please order them to accept our command!"
Li Jing had no choice but to agree after a little thought, the other party's methods, which were even more extreme and terrifying than the extremist terrorists at the beginning of the 21st century, completely suppressed his arrogant and arrogant heart, but he still had to strengthen his mouth and said to Feng Baishan: "Even if you catch me, it is impossible to have any impact on our fleet in space!" ”
Feng Baishan responded to him without hesitation: "General Li, of course I know that even if I blow up the entire 'Atlantis' planet, it will be impossible to defeat your fleet!" ”
Then he said in a mocking tone: "But you should also know that it is my great honor to be able to capture such a famous and noble general of the New Roman Empire as you, of course, you don't have to be sad, after all, I used the lives of more than 10 million fathers and villagers on the planet 'Atlantis' as a bargaining chip, which is completely more than you are worth!" ”
Li Jingxian smiled bitterly at his words, he didn't expect that he would fall into such a field.
In a few moments, the landed Marines of the New Roman Empire surrendered and entered the prison of the base of "Socrates".
The arrest of Lieutenant General Li Jingxian made the "Mao? Marsh? The "East" fleet was in a dangerous situation without a leader.
Originally according to the principle of organization: Ngouwabi, the captain of the battleship "Lin Biao"? Colonel Seko, who was also the commander of the first detachment, tacitly took over Li Jingxian's responsibilities, ordered the fleet to change its track, and prepared to threaten the Federation to hand over Li Jingxian with the warning of shelling residential areas on the ground. Colonel Beckman and the commander of the third detachment, Adolphina? Colonel Steinmetz stood aside and objected to his order, demanding that Li Jingxian be immediately left behind and leave the planet "Atlantis" to rendezvous with Jiang Ziyue's "Zheng He" fleet and attempt to rescue him.
While the commanders were arguing over the radio, the combined fleet of the Federation "Poseidon", which had not gone far, quickly turned its bow and swooped down at a maximum reaction propulsion speed close to half the speed of light.
Teresa? Admiral Quiller calculated very accurately, and perhaps said that her plan was extremely successful, at a time when her opponents were trapped internally and externally, the commanders were disagreeing with each other, and their energy was almost exhausted, and it was a difficult choice to flee or fight.
The flagship "Trident" No. 001 sent out a radio message full of confidence in victory:
"The goddess of victory is smiling at us!"
