Section 32 Mysterious Events Return to the Imperial Capital

"Don't sell it, what kind of major information is it?" Jiang Ziyue urged Gus? Whitehead got the Union Army intel out as soon as he could. 1(6) k small says Ξ±Ρ€.(1)(6) finishing

Gerston paused and said seriously: "According to the report of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, our old adversary, the Bundeswehr Fleet's 13th Fleet, nearly a thousand warships left behind in the 'Yi' star field, together with the federal scientific expedition team that landed on the 'Star' planet, have mysteriously disappeared. ”

"Mysterious disappearance? Nearly a thousand warships? Jiang Ziyue asked rhetorically in an unbelievable tone.

"Yes." Gus nodded and confirmed, "Based on the strange findings of the scientific expedition team you escorted before, the Imperial Intelligence Agency analyzed that there are likely to be intelligent beings with extremely high-tech levels on the interstellar planet 'Yi'. ”

Jiang Ziyue looked shocked. During the "Egyptian 'Cleopatra'" expedition in May, the scientific expedition team of the Imperial Academy of Sciences discovered the mysterious and strange structure of the planet "Yi", especially the "invulnerable" structure under the surface, which impressed Jiang Ziyue even more.

"That interstellar planet is really weird." Jiang Ziyue recalled, "When our task force launched the second space storm against the enemy fleet, a considerable part of the space 'waves' and the enemy ships brought into it should have collided directly with the planets, but the research ship 'Vector' No. 3 at that time detected this part of the space 'waves' and the enemy ships involved in it were cut like flowing water, bypassing the 'Yi' planet before flying to the depths of the universe." ”

"So the planet is able to control the space around it?" Gus asked.

Jiang Ziyue shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if your statement can be true. At that time, Ulf? Academician Bernstein argues that the mass and gravitational pull of the planets cannot be reasonably explained for this phenomenon. ”

"Hehe, with the current level of scientific understanding of human beings, we cannot make a reasonable explanation for many phenomena in the universe." Gus said with a smile, as if he had lost interest in exploring the interstellar planet "Yi". "The Akuberi engine has been in use for hundreds of years, but why can space 'waves' be generated by the annihilation of positive and antimatter? And why doesn't this space 'wave' have an effect on the enclosed space of the spacecraft itself? And so on, we haven't figured it out yet. ”

Jiang Ziyue did not agree with his words very much, and put forward his own opinions, saying: "When I was still in school, I noticed that the history of our human civilization is often very special. The problems you are talking about are not isolated cases. For example, in the process of evolution, human beings have learned to use 'fire', not only knowing how to use fire in production and life, but also knowing how to make fire and extinguish fire. However, thousands or even tens of thousands of years later, human beings realized that the essence of ordinary 'fire' is a kind of 'intense' oxidation reaction. ”

"No, no, Ziyue. The Akuberi engine cannot be compared to fire. Gus hurriedly refuted Jiang Ziyue's point of view, "Fire is common in the environment in which humans live, and the control of fire is based on experience, not theoretical understanding. The principle and application of the Akuberi engine, including the realization of space 'wave' motion, are like most new technologies in the era of science and technology. ”

"How can the theory of the Akuberi engine and the motion of space 'waves' be called 'perfect'?" Jiang Ziyue also quickly raised objections, "Didn't you just say that the cause of the spatial 'wave' motion caused by the annihilation of positive and antimatter has not been 'figured' clearly?" But in fact, we know that the annihilation of positive and antimatter of different masses will cause space 'waves' of different scales, so that spacecraft of different masses can reach the corresponding equivalent speed of light. Although our ancestors on the earth did not 'understand' why dry firewood burned fire, they knew that in order to increase the firepower, we had to increase air circulation and increase dry firewood. Of course, this realization comes from the experience of observing the world. Wasn't the realization of the Akuberi engine and the space 'wave' after the 'Jupiter's light' experiment? Like the use of fire, they are based primarily on experience of cosmic phenomena rather than theoretical understanding. ”

None of the men of the two empires thought that they would argue, the bald Jiang Ziyue and the white-headed Gus, from enemy intelligence to science and philosophy.

Jiang Ziyue said with a smile: "It seems really interesting now, almost every technology of aerospace science and technology developed in the 20 th century is the product of theoretical guidance. However, the epoch-making technology that helped mankind successfully get out of the barrier between the earth and the solar system and the earth is based on the theory of space 'wave' motion that is ambiguous and even belongs to unknown territory. This reminds me of the distant black 'hole' and 'hole' of the interstellar planet 'Yi', we have only seen a few strange sides of her, but we have not yet been able to unravel her mystery and see her true face. Perhaps her appearance is to enlighten our understanding of the universe. ”

"You may be too optimistic. Maybe she will become a disaster star in the human world in the future. Gus said worriedly, "Nearly a thousand warships of the Immortal Star Federation around her will mysteriously disappear. A thousand warships may seem like nothing, but the whereabouts of the fleet's nearly 100,000 generals are unknown, which is a catastrophe. ”

"It's a catastrophe indeed." After Jiang Ziyue finished speaking, he fell silent, staring at Baitou Gus, his eyes dancing with excitement.

Gus also seemed to be able to understand Jiang Ziyue's thoughts at this time, smiled heartily, and said, "You won't be the same as I think, right?" ”

"I don't think there will be any difference in terms of content except for the language habits." Jiang Ziyue said proudly.

The two men who were arguing about the philosophy of science just now are like lovers with good hearts, looking at each other, their faces full of tacit happy expressions.

"The enemy should shrink on all fronts." Gus said first.

"It should be said that there is a pause in aggression against our country." Jiang Ziyue corrected.

"Oh, Jiang Ziyue, if you are a 'woman', I will definitely fall in love with you." Gus sighed regretfully, "If there is one of the 'women' I know who can be as close to me as you are, I will marry her immediately." ”

"What's heart-to-heart? Don't be disgusted with me. Jiang Ziyue said in disgust, "Didn't you say that we are called heroes." ”

As Jiang Ziyue and Gus predicted, when the Bundeswehr Edward? After Colonel Mandalay led the remaining fleet of the Second Detachment of the Fourth Fleet back to the "Bow" and "Wave" space station, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Gerald ? Admiral Hancock immediately gave the order for the entire fleet to return home.

"It's a shame that all the work has been wasted like this." Mandalay is full of regrets.

"Commander, we can stay here and use this as a base for advancement in the future." Robb suggested.

The other detachment commanders also agreed with the proposal.

"General Bloomberg has ordered us to withdraw all of us, and the reinforcements that had rushed to our aid have all returned." Hancock explained, "The disappearance of the Thirteenth Fleet is so bizarre that the President has ordered the cancellation of the Argo Expedition and the retrenchment of all fleets to the homeland and hold the border." Staying here, the logistical supply lines are too long, and they are vulnerable to attacks by the Imperial Army. So don't expect anything more from the planet New Rhine. ”

Now that both the president and the defense minister have issued orders to retreat, officers such as Robb and Mandalay can only obey unconditionally.

So, Hancock gave an order: "Everyone immediately prepare to take away everything that can be transported on each space station under our control, and blow up everything that cannot be transported along with the space station facilities." ”

Upon hearing that the space station under the control of the Federal Army was going to be blown up, Robb hurriedly objected, saying, "But, sir, these space station facilities are all civilian. It is not in accordance with international law that we are doing so. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo, don't worry about international law." Hancock said contemptuously, "There is no morality to speak of the enemy. All you have to do is execute the command. ”

Robb was 'about to plead' further, but Hancock waved his hand and said, "Don't say it again, you are an officer, and you should understand that obedience is the basic requirement of a soldier." I don't want to see anyone act disobeying. ”

Robb had no choice but to accept, albeit with great reluctance.

As three powerful flashes of light came from the periphery of the Europa planetary system, the "Bow Wave" and the other two space stations that fell into the hands of the Federation Army were blown to pieces. After that, the Fourth Fleet of the Federation Army turned around, reflexively flew towards the 135th parallel, and embarked on the journey home.

Both the Union Army and the Imperial Army were treated as heroes and were warmly welcomed by their respective citizens and politicians. In the eyes of their respective countries, they both prevailed over each other. The Fourth Fleet of the Bundeswehr successfully crossed the 135th parallel and entered the territory of the Reich. The "Haraldi" detachment of the Central Fleet of the Imperial Army successfully blocked the Federation's invasion of New Rhine and quelled the internal 'unrest' of the planet.

On September 10, 2918, the "Haraldi" detachment was ordered to return to the planet Neo-Byzantium. Wang Zeren, the consul of the new Roman Empire, led all the officials of the Imperial Privy Council and the celebrities and representatives of the masses of the empire to gather at the airfield south of the Privy Council to greet the officers and men of the "Haraldi" detachment who had landed.

Gus, Jiang Ziyue, and Lota led the soldiers to take their respective flagship aerospace planes, the "Lion", "Bodhi Leaf" and the "Hot Wheels", and slowly landed on the imperial capital airport with colorful flags and crowds.

As soon as the plane came to a stop, the huge military band played the march of "Glorious Triumph" to welcome the return of the victorious soldiers.

Under the bright red banner of the Senate, the consul Wang Zeren, who was dressed in the white 'color' robe of the Senate, was full of 'spring' wind.

Although the "Haraldi" fleet did not complete the predetermined battle plan, it was extremely "outstanding" in dealing with the federal aggression and the rebellion of the New Rhine separatist forces. The Gus he picked up with his own hands? Whitehead and Jiang Ziyue both gave full play to their respective talents, especially Jiang Ziyue, who he valued very much, during the period of quelling the internal 'turmoil', he was decisive and resolute, his methods were tough, and his ability and domineering ability to command the overall situation had begun to 'show' his edge, which not only made his face feel bright, but also invisibly greatly enhanced the power and prestige of his faction.

The officers and men who arrived on the ground lined up in a V-shaped array symbolizing victory, led by Gus, Jiang Ziyue and Lotta, and walked in front of the consuls and representatives of the masses in a neat Prussian stride. They all wore the black 'colored' military uniforms of the Imperial Army, and wore all the insignia and medals, except for the absence of military rank medals on their shoulders.

The gorgeous and cheerful march of "Glorious Triumph" stopped, and the officers and men also gathered up at the same time. Gus took a step forward, raised his right hand, slapped his left 'chest' with a "snap", and then threw it diagonally forward, holding up a loud report:

"Your Excellency the Senate and the Roman People's Consul, and the Senate and the Roman People's Commander of the Central Fleet 'Haraldi' Squadron Gus? Whitehead, with his men, come to report! Please instruct! ”

Wang Zeren also stepped forward, raised his hand in return, and responded, "Please join the ranks, Commander Whitehead." ”

After Gus returned to the throne, Wang Zeren exhorted in a loud voice: "Where is the Senate and the warriors of the Roman people? ”

"VENI, VIDI," THE SLOGANS ISSUED BY THE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS SHOOK THE CLOUDS.

"Take a break!" Wang Zeren, who was born in the army, gave a sonorous command to the officers and soldiers, and then made a speech:

"In August, the Senate and the Roman people ruled the province of New Rhine, which was invaded by enemy troops claiming to be the Perseus Federation, and the treasonous separatists of New Rhine took advantage of the 'chaos' to rise up and echo the foreign enemy in a vain attempt to overthrow the local power and legal order of the Senate and the Roman people in New Rhine. Fortunately, the Senate and the Central Fleet 'Haraldi' detachment under the rule of the Roman people rushed to the aid in time to stop the enemy from the outside and quell the 'chaos' from the inside. The loyalty of his heart, the wisdom of his thoughts, and the courage of his actions are all feared by the enemy. There were loyal and brave children, and the Senate and the Roman people were very happy and happy. ”

"Now that the enemy has retreated, the traitors have surrendered to the law, and the Senate and the people of Rome have issued a special order to promote all the heroes to the first ranks, and those who triumph will be rewarded for their merits and deeds, and the rewards will be doubled. Respecting the will of the Senate and the Roman people, in the name of the sanctity and glory of the Senate and the Roman people, the consul Wang Zeren hereby declares that the commendation order shall take effect immediately! ”

"Long live the Senate and the people of Rome!" The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, thanking the Senate and the people of Rome for their commendation.

The march of "Glory of Empire" immediately sounded, and the chief of staff of the Privy Council, GΓΌnther? Fischer pulled out a red mat. On it is the Order of Commendation of the Senate and the People of Rome, written and signed by Wang Zhiren, the first senator and consul. The content of the commendation order is simple, because the specific commendation items are to be formulated separately by the National Defense Headquarters, but this piece of paper contains an extremely important pension financial allocation ruling order, which concerns the total amount of nearly 25 billion imperial gold marks for nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers killed in this battle.

Fischer 'handed over' the commendation order to Wang Zeren. Wang Zeren turned to 'hand' over to Gus. It was finally 'handed over' by Gus to Murphy, the chief representative of the soldiers of the detachment? Sergeant Vincennes.

The sergeant will later use this commendation order to the Imperial Treasurer Frederick? Feng? Schweilin's office settles the accounts, and then together with the bereavement representatives of the martyrs' committees directly under the Senate, he goes to the Imperial People's Bank to transfer the money to the accounts of the martyrs during their lifetimes, and then sends a copy of each commendation order to the families of the martyrs, together with the "martyr's posthumous certificate" of the non-commissioned committee, a personal letter from the commander of the army, and a national flag, a flag of the senate, a military flag, and a fleet flag. The legal guardian or heir of the martyr will withdraw all the balance from the martyr's account by virtue of a copy of the commendation order and the "martyr's posthumous certificate", including the 500,000 Imperial Gold Mark pension in the account for a one-time 'sex'.

Therefore, Sergeant Vincennes, who was deeply loved by all the officers and soldiers, carefully held the commendation order in his hand, which was an important item related to nearly 50,000 dead brothers.

Finally, Wang Zeren once again issued an instruction: "Where are the warriors of the Senate and the Roman people? ”

β€œVENI,VIDIοΌŒβ€

At the end of the brief welcoming ceremony, the officers and men marched back to their planes to the beat of the March of "Glory of the Empire", but disbanded. Wang Zeren left with the officials and returned to the Privy Council. The mass representatives were still gathered in their same places, because the vast majority of them were relatives and friends of the returned officers and soldiers, and there were also reporters who were preparing to conduct special 'door-to-door' interviews.

After the team disbanded, Gus said to Jiang Ziyue and Lotta, "Are you two ready to get married?" ”

"Say what?" Jiang Ziyue asked dissatisfiedly.

"I think Gus is right." Lota was looking forward to it.

"Actually, Marshal Bergdorf has issued a call order to call you up to the Central Fleet." "Of course, if you get married, you can enjoy a three-month honeymoon vacation, and you don't have to rush to Iserlohn to report. ”

"You don't have to worry about my affair with Lota. For there is nothing between us, and there will be no more. Jiang Ziyue said solemnly, and then looked into the distance, his parents were waving at him outside the cordon.

"Who's that?" Lota keenly asked, "Are you parents?" Can you introduce me to me? ”

Jiang Ziyue couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Gus shrugged his shoulders and said to Jiang Ziyue, "There won't be any more?" took her to meet her parents, and then the family was reunited, what a 'wave' and warmth. ”

Jiang Ziyue ignored him and led Lota to his parents.

Looking at their distant backs, Gus smiled slightly, and then reminded in a loud voice: "At five o'clock in the afternoon, after the farewell ceremony of the martyr's body, the archon will summon you and your wife, don't forget wow." ”

"Let Your Excellency the Archon marry me." Lota happily responded.

Jiang Xiaoqi was taken aback when she saw that the person who came with her son was the bald 'female' officer who reported on the news that she had an affair with her son some time ago, and hurriedly said to her husband: "Husband, it's that 'female' person, why is Ziyue still with her." First there was a blonde hair, and now there is a bald head, what happened to our son? ”

"Don't worry, dear, it's a good thing that Ziyue has multiple choices." Dounie Smarck was very calm, and then commented: "This girl looks very standard, but her bald head is a little ugly. But it's also 'good', saving money from the hairdresser. ”
