He sat in silence for a moment before exiting the conference room. Lu Qiyun waited outside the door and greeted him and asked, "Marshal, what is the result?"

Lin Xuanshang stopped and said, "How long can the Xu family's batch of materials last?"

"2 weeks. ”

"2 weeks, barely enough. New supplies will arrive in 2 weeks, but only half of what was originally planned. ”

"Half, half is enough for what kind of battle?" Lu Qiyun was taken aback.

Lin Xuanshang said: "The dynasty has decided to reopen a war zone, which happens to be on our axis. The new theater has invested much larger troops than here, and naturally has more priority in the distribution of materials. At this time, we need to look at the big picture. ”

"What is the overall situation? Our hundreds of thousands of soldiers are not the overall situation?"

Lin Xuanshang smiled bitterly and said, "Old Lu, you have also been in the army for decades, why do you still say such things?"

Lu Qiyun said: "I just can't get over that breath in my heart." You're also a great fighter, but who can win this kind of battle?"

Lin Xuanshang smiled and said, "We have fought a lot of battles that are more difficult than this. Are you scared?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, it's ......"

"It's good not to be afraid. Gather everyone for a meeting, and we have to think carefully about how we will fight the next battle. ”

Although the atmosphere of the next meeting was somewhat solemn, the generals did not give up and planned carefully. After all, Lin Xuan is still there.

More than halfway through the meeting, Lin Xuanshang's personal terminal suddenly received a message. The news is the highest level of secrecy, and only Lin Xuanshang himself is qualified to inspect it. This is an order sent from the staff headquarters, Lin Xuanshang opened it and looked at it, and his face immediately changed.

It was a paper order, and Lin Xuanshang was transferred to the commander of the 5th Fleet. The 5th Fleet will serve as the dynasty's general reserve in this direction, ready to go into battle at any time.

At the end of the order, it was emphasized that the order would take effect immediately, and Lin Xuanshang needed to leave within 24 hours.

Lin Xuanshang finished the combat meeting before announcing the latest appointments. This order caused an immediate uproar, and everyone did not understand why such an order was there. Lin Xuanshang didn't explain, but just asked people to summon Lin Xi and asked her to rush back as soon as possible.

After half a day's work, Lin Xi drove a scarred frigate back to the base, she walked into Lin Xuanshang's office quickly, and saw Lin Xuanshang standing in front of the virtual porthole, looking at the boundless deep sky. The blue sun in the distance was particularly dazzling, and the light it emitted seemed to envelop the entire universe.

"Why did you transfer you away?" Lin Xi asked as soon as he entered the door.

Lin Xuanshang said calmly: "The Ninth Fleet is not our Lin family, I just served here for a longer time. The General Staff Headquarters has the right to transfer any person to command the Ninth Fleet, and it also has the right to transfer me to other places. What's more, the scale of the 5th Fleet, which was inaugurated this time, is no worse than that of the 9th Fleet, and the task is also very important. ”

"But what about here?"

"Our task is to maintain the front as much as possible, delay the expansion of the Federation, and assist in the opening of the second theater. ”

"Second War Zone?"

Lin Xuanshang briefly talked about the decision process of the General Staff Headquarters to attack the Wufu 3 galaxy.

"This is Xu Bingyanti's plan? He's targeting us. ”

Lin Xuanshang said: "I also know that his purpose is not pure, but if you don't consider this factor, then there is no problem with this plan itself, Wufu 3 is indeed a better target, and the blow to the Federation is even heavier." The only thing to consider is whether the war is really going to escalate. Our attack on Wufu 3 means that the two sides have entered the stage of all-out war. ”

Lin Xi's face was solemn, and he knew very well what this matter meant. "So, the decision has been made to start a full-scale war from above?"

Lin Xuanshang sighed and said, "I'm afraid so." ”

"Is it still possible to stop it?"

"It's unlikely. ”

Lin Xuanshang looked at the time and said, "I'm going to leave in 4 hours, you pack your things and come with me." ”

"Where to go?"

"Fifth Fleet. ”

"Ling Fei is going too?"

Lin Xuanshang was a little hesitant, "If I just arrived over there, I also need someone familiar to help me." ”

"Then I'm not going. ”

Lin Xuanshang smiled bitterly and said, "Xixi, you don't need to be so careful, right?"

Lin Xi said seriously: "I don't care, and I don't care about Ling Fei that much. But my position is here, and now that the war situation is unfavorable, I have to transfer halfway, this is to escape!"

"According to you, then I also escaped. ”

"That's different, most of the Ninth Fleet hasn't been transferred over, and the specifications of the existing theater don't need you to command it at all. Besides, the General Staff Headquarters ordered you to be transferred to the Fifth Fleet, and I followed you, so what's the matter?"

Lin Xuanshang shook his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn't persuade Lin Xi, so he had to say: "Then take care of yourself, I have signed a special order to promote you to colonel." This way you'll be able to command a destroyer that will hopefully allow you to play better. Of course, this also means more risk. ”

Lin Xi smiled, "I really need a bigger platform." ”

A few hours later, Lin Xuanshang's ship slowly left the berth and flew into the sky.

Lin Xi walked out of the command headquarters and went to receive his new ship with the promotion order that had just taken effect. This is a starship that has been around for some years, and it has just been refurbished from the repair line, and it is back to its peak.

When Lin Xi arrived at the berth, the starship was quietly parked on the berth, the door of the supply compartment at the bottom was open, and special trucks were sending huge space torpedoes into the cabin. The square in front of the berth was full of crews gathered in groups of threes and twos. Some of them were chatting about the battle situation, some were staring blankly at the ceiling, and some were sleeping directly on the ammunition pile, regardless of the high ammunition that could blow themselves up countless times under their butts.

Lin Xi passed through them and inadvertently took in everyone's chatter and chat.

She walked and listened all the way to the ramp of the starship. Identity verification is automatically passed, and the starship hatch opens automatically. However, Lin Xi did not walk in immediately, but turned around and glanced at the square.

All the crews in the square suddenly received a summons order to assemble in front of the starship in three minutes. This order is abrupt, but it cannot be disobeyed. No matter what the crew was doing, they all jumped up and rushed to the starship.

In just three minutes, all the crews outside the starship were in place.

Lin Xi looked at the crew below and said, "I am your new captain Lin Xi, from today onwards, we will fight side by side!"

There was silence below, no cheers, no excitement or fear, everyone was watching her quietly.

Lin Xi's voice slowed down and said, "Originally, I had the opportunity to transfer, but I felt that I had to stay." Everyone may be dissatisfied with the battle situation and don't understand the above arrangement, it doesn't matter, our current task is to nail here and drag down the enemy, and our Ninth Fleet has never had a tradition of failing to complete the mission!"

Lin Xi's cold voice spread throughout the audience: "The next ships will be vicious and dangerous, and we will appear where the most dangerous ones are! So, now you still have the last chance to quit." If you don't want to continue fighting, you can apply for a transfer to the logistics department or the base guard unit. As soon as someone applies, I approve it immediately!"

Perhaps unexpectedly, or perhaps unexpectedly, more than half of the crew present submitted an application to leave the ship.

Lin Xi received the approval one by one, regardless of the fact that the personnel on the ship may have fallen below the minimum standard.

It wasn't until the last application was approved, looking at the rest of the people, that Lin Xi showed a smile and said, "Let's go." ”

At this moment, a message suddenly appeared on her personal terminal, Lin Xi opened it and looked at it, and was suddenly stunned. It was a message with no beginning or end, and it didn't even show the sender. The message is just a simple line:

Whatever you're going to do, I'll be there.

A figure suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's heart, and she immediately vetoed it. That guy might not be able to say such a thing if he waited another 10,000 years. What's more, he's still on an isolated planet. She didn't have time to scrutinize who sent the message, and turned to enter the starship.

In the low earth orbit of Planet 4, Li Ruobai turned around and asked, "Did you do anything just now?"

"No!" Chu Jungui refused to admit it.
