Everyone in the tactical command center was taken aback when the communications sent by the logistics ships of the former Bundeswehr 13th Fleet, which had taken off from the heavy interstellar planet "Yi", were connected to the battleship "Alexander".

"General Geisler!"

Commander of the Thirteenth Fleet, Henning? Admiral Geisler's stereoscopic image actually appeared in front of everyone. His face was ruddy, and it seemed that his nutrition had not been affected by the lack of supplies for more than half a year. Moreover, there was a sense of excitement in his surprised expression now.

"Brothers, it seems that you are so good!" Geisler cried out happily.

"What the hell is going on, General Geisler?" Bloomberg asked curiously.

As soon as he saw that it was a five-star general, he immediately raised his hand and saluted, and said respectfully: "Report sir, we have been captured by the 'Yi' planet. Now that they have been released, all 100,000 brothers are there, asking to return. ”

"You were captured by the planet Yi?"

Now Bloomberg felt even more strange. Thinking of the second "Yi" Star Field War more than half a year ago, a consensus has been formed in the Bundeswehr that the Thirteenth Fleet has either defected or been controlled by unknown creatures on the "Yi" planet. Now it seems that this inference is not wrong.

"It's a long story, sir. Please allow us to return to the team and I will give you a detailed report. ”

Geisler's tone was 'agitated' and urgent.

Bloomberg hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Henning, please follow the instructions to form a formation." ”

"Yes, sir."

Geisler happily ended the correspondence. But soon, he realized something was wrong. His fleet was required to be deployed on the front of the Bundeswehr fleet.

Bloomberg arranged the fleet into a huge umbrella array, and half-surrounded the focal point of the umbrella array of three hundred returning logistics supply ships. Almost all of the warships were ordered to put them on alert, aiming at these mysterious former companions, ready to attack at any moment.

The aerospace plane sent Geisler to the "Alexander", accompanied by the head of the first scientific expedition team and several detachment commanders, as well as a more important person, the head of the second scientific expedition team, Zhu Hansong, an academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences who disappeared in the last battle of the "Yi" star field.

But they were greeted by the Interstellar Marine Corps' heavily armed power armor. When they saw the five-star Admiral Bloomberg and Admiral Lepnin, the faces of the other party did not have the enthusiasm and joy they expected, but constantly looked at them with suspicious and wary eyes.

In a specially guarded conference room, Gesler suppressed his displeasure and reported to his superiors about the misfortune that had happened at the end of last year.

On July 30, 2918, the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr launched a 'fierce' battle in the border space of the 135th line and even in the New Rhine field in the territory of the New Roman Empire, but the 13th fleet of the Wehrmacht, which was far away from the Perseus spiral arm guarding the interstellar planet "Yi", suddenly received a distress signal from the landing scientific expedition team.

The federal expedition team was besieged by unknown creatures at the "Freedom Beachhead", and the Marines simply could not cope with it. Henning? Geisler ordered the concentration of combat ships and flew close to the planet "Yi" to prepare for fire support. His flagship is even more in the lead, rushing to the planet "Yi".

However, when his flagship, the "Yang Willy", entered an orbit about 30,000 kilometers from the ground of the "Yi" planet, the powerful battleship suffered a serious failure.

"Sir, the battleship seems to be out of control." The captain reported to Geisler in horror.

"Out of control?" Geisler didn't react for a moment.

"The terminal of the central computer is out of order, and all the instructions no longer work......"

Before the captain could finish his sentence, all the display systems in the tactical command center were automatically turned off.

"How?" Geisler was very unhappy, and he also thought that it was the result of the negligence of the battleship control team.

"I can't do it by hand!" The first mate exclaimed.

"We may be disturbed by some kind of force." The captain exclaimed worriedly.

"Oh no, the communication system automatically sends a report, and it can't be stopped!" The communications non-commissioned officer also screamed.

Only then did Geisler realize the seriousness of the problem and shouted a command: "Check all systems at once and be sure to troubleshoot." ”

However, no matter what efforts the battleship control team made, the "Yang Willy" was no longer under the control of humans, and even the cabin 'door' was no longer opened and closed according to the will of humans, and even the internal communication of the battleship was interrupted.

"Can you determine our status?" Geisler asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid not, sir." Frightened and frustrated, the captain replied, "All the display systems have failed, and the cabin door won't open." We have completely lost contact with the rest of the Ministry. ”

"According to the inertia of the original navigation state, we will crash into the 'easy' planet." The first mate said.

"This is not a malfunction, sir." The captain shouted, "The battleship's computer system may have been hijacked by an unknown force, and this completely uncontrolled situation will occur." ”

"Is there no way?"

The captain and first mate shook their heads. The captain said helplessly: "Only by turning off the central main control computer can we make it possible for all parts of the battleship to be completely under manual control." But right now, we don't even have a chance to turn off our computers. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the lighting and life-sustaining systems of the tactical command center were also turned off, and they had to rely on space combat suits to survive.

After the flagship was controlled, an order was issued to all ships of the Thirteenth Fleet, including logistics supply ships, to approach the planet "Yi", and as a result, all the battleships were inexplicably hijacked.

About half an hour later, in the tactical command center of the "Young Willie", Henning? Gesler: They felt a strong vibration. The ceramic-alloy hull also screeched from the high-speed friction of the air current.

"If I'm not mistaken, we're entering the atmosphere!" The experienced captain said, his voice full of fear.

"Then our warship will stay here forever."

Geisler was shocked and angry. If the huge "Yang Willy" enters the "easy" planet, it will basically no longer be able to escape. It does not have enough propulsion power to take off and accelerate to a speed of detachment on an "easy" planet with a gravity constant of up to 1.8 points.

After another half hour, the vibrations stopped, and the sound coming through the hull disappeared.

At this time, the lighting system was restored, all the cabin 'doors' were opened, and a fresh air poured in. Immediately afterward, the display system was also restarted, but only two lines appeared on all the images: Leave the battleship immediately, or you will be killed! One line is yes and one line is in English.

"Is this a prank?" Geisler shouted angrily.

"Sir, let's do the same." The captain cautiously advised.

Geisler's anger was short-lived. Since the mysterious forces of some unknown place could control such a large and complex battleship, it should be easy to kill them. So, soon, he just had to walk out of the battleship with the crew.

As he stepped out of the hatch to meet the light of the exit, a majestic and magnificent sight immediately occupied his entire vision.

The turquoise cone-shaped mountains are hidden between the blue sky and white clouds, and rows of white birds are shuttling among them. Flowing water shuttles through the flat and vast grasslands and lush forests, forming a beautiful and magical beauty.

"Is this the scenery on the interstellar planet Yi?" Geisler muttered to himself in amazement.

"No, it's the interior of the planet." An old voice came to his ears.

Only then did Gesler find an elderly Oriental man standing in front of him, and they were startled.

"Who are you? How is it here? ”

The old man was expressionless and said in standard Mandarin Chinese: "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just an illusion, but I represent this planet." I think you humans may be more receptive to communicating with creatures that resemble your own, so I'll have to 'deal' with you using the human form I came into contact with many years ago. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Geisler remained concerned about the identity of the other party.

"I told you, I'm just an illusion. But I represent the planet. The other party repeated without tire.

Gesler boldly reached out and 'touched' the other's body, and his hand penetrated into the other's body as if it were reaching into air.

"Sir, it's just a stereoscopic image. It's just that the imaging technology is more advanced and perfect than ours. ”

Geisler agreed with his subordinates' words, and then asked, "You say you represent this planet, but why did you bring our warships with you?" ”

"Not only your warships, but the entire fleet. Please look up. ”

At the direction of the other party, Henning? Only then did Geisler realize that above their heads, the entire ships of the Thirteenth Fleet were already floating, and even the logistics supply ships had entered this strange world.

"Why is that?"

"You're a threat to me, and I have to defend myself. By the way, I can study you well and increase my knowledge of exploring the universe. Commander, please don't ask any more questions. I've restored communications for your fleet, so I ask you to order your men to follow what I see on the ship's display. Only in this way can the lives of each and every one of you be safeguarded. ”

Geisler was hesitant and reluctant at first, but quickly complied. As a professional soldier, he is perfectly able to recognize the current situation. It would not be difficult for a force capable of directly 'manipulating' his fleet to kill 100,000 of their generals, and conversely, it seemed impossible for them to resist.

So according to the phantom's instructions, all the officers and men of the 13th Fleet left after the battleship was "landed" and gathered on a very empty grassland. There, Geisler also met with the Federation's expeditions and interstellar marines, all of whom were unharmed.

The human illusion flew into the sky and said, "Warriors and wise men of the race, it is the planet in which you are speaking now. ”

His voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone in the 100,000 people present.

"Your actions have threatened me, and I have been forced to defend myself in this way. By the way you behave, you have been captured by me. Therefore, you must obey my rule, and I will keep you safe. From now on, you can only move around this grassland, and I will provide you with food according to the nutritional standards recorded by your ship. You can cut down the surrounding forests to set up your camp, but only with my approval. Remember, you must not leave this steppe without my permission. I promise to release you back into your world when I think it is appropriate. ”

……

General Gesler, who has now returned to the human world, feels like a dream when he looks back on his life for nearly a year.

But now, the people who listened to his report all showed a skeptical look, and looked at him with a vigilant eye.
