With a slight beep, the speedcar docked on the upper level of the mobile base. Lin Xi came back to his senses and stepped off the flying car. A young officer greeted him and saluted, "Is this Lieutenant Colonel Lin?" General Lu is holding an operational meeting, and I heard that you are back, so I asked you to pick you up for the meeting. ”

Lin Xi asked casually: "Is it an expanded meeting?"

"No, it's an emergency meeting, scoped to the general. You are the only one of the special participants. ”

"Let's go now. ”

A moment later, Lin Xi entered the conference room and quietly sat down in the last row. In front of the central star map, Lieutenant General Lu Qiyun, commander of the mobile base, was briefing on the current battle situation. The star map is full of war, and the blue color of the Federation is spreading rapidly, and the dynasty is almost losing and retreating.

Before the lieutenant general could finish his briefing on the battle, someone couldn't help but ask: "Is this an all-out attack of the Federation?"

The lieutenant general solemnly said: "Most of them are skirmishes, and it is too early to say a full-scale attack." ”

One of the generals frowned and said, "Isn't it early? ”

The lieutenant general did not answer this question, but continued to report on the state of his own defensive line.

The meeting was not long-lasting, ending in just an hour. When he walked out of the conference hall, Lin Xi's face also looked a little dignified.

This combat meeting did not give any more countermeasures than to report on the situation of the battle. The dynasty has fallen into total passivity in this star field, and the situation has worsened even more if the Ninth Fleet's three mobile bases used as strategic support points have been repulsed, and it will take at least a month to return.

The passive battle situation is more due to the disadvantage of military strength, the Federation is attacking everywhere, and the dynasty is already a little exhausted just for defense. Although there have been few major battles so far, there are an astonishing number of skirmishes, and for these veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, they have already smelled the smell of mountain rain.

When the meeting was over, the generals did not linger any longer and hurried away to rush back to their troops.

Lin Xi's starship needed to be repaired, and there was nowhere to go for the time being, so she thought about it as she walked, and walked slowly. At this time, the young officer from earlier came up and said, "General Lu, please come to his office. ”

Lin Xi nodded, and followed him to the upper level of the base. At this time, the young officer suddenly lowered his voice and said quickly: "Lieutenant Colonel, we have heard some rumors about you, and everyone is very angry. If the war can only be saved by sacrificing your personal happiness, then what do we need to do? Now many people like me are ready to fight with those bastards of the Federation, and when they win this battle, they will go back to settle accounts with those bastards in the rear who took advantage of the fire!"

Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry, and asked, "What rumors about me?"

The young officer said, "It's all this time, and there's nothing that can't be said." In fact, the news has already spread, saying that the Xu family has deducted two-thirds of the aid materials originally promised, and they will not be willing to send the follow-up materials until you and the Xu family have a result. ”

Lin Xi was stunned, "Is there such a thing?"

The young officer said: "It is true that the amount of military supplies that will arrive recently is much smaller than planned, and it is far from enough to replenish the attrition, let alone turn the tide of the war." ”

Lin Xi didn't speak, and walked silently.

Seeing that the lieutenant general's office was in front of him, the young officer whispered, "All in all, we will all be on your side......!" I know I'm not worthy of you, but I have a heart to fight to the death!"

Lin Xi was a little surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, at this time, the lieutenant general's adjutant appeared, which was considered to be the relief of the siege.

The young officer seized the last opportunity and quickly said, "My name is Duan Cheng." ”

Lin Xi nodded to him, and followed the lieutenant general's adjutant into the office.

The lieutenant general stood in front of the star chart, sipping tea one after another. In fact, the teacup was already empty, but he didn't realize it.

The adjutant exited his office, and the door closed automatically.

"General?" Lin Xi waited for a while and saw no movement, then called out.

Only then did the lieutenant general come back to his senses and said, "You are here, I haven't even paid attention." ”

"The battle is bad?"

In fact, Lin Xi didn't need to ask this sentence at all.

The lieutenant general was about to drink tea again, only to find that the cup was empty. He smiled self-deprecatingly, put the teacup aside, and said, "It's not bad, it's very bad, and it's going to get worse." We're suffering losses everywhere, and the Federation is losing too, but they can afford to lose, and we can't afford to lose. ”

Lin Xi said: "I heard that the Xu family withheld the aid materials?"

The lieutenant general stretched his thick eyebrows and said, "There is a batch of military supplies scheduled to arrive, which was supposed to be ten transport ships, but I just received news that only three of them can arrive at the scheduled time. There is no definite word yet on when the rest will arrive. ”

"What's in this batch?"

The lieutenant general smiled wryly, "Food, fuel." Well, and a batch of heavy space torpedoes. ”

A little anger began to burn in Lin Xi's eyes. The heavy space torpedo is a type of missile with great power and is the main weapon of small starships against large ones. This is a consumable, and it is in high demand in the current battle. Once its supply can't keep up, the impact on combat power is self-evident.

Lin Xi forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "They even dare to seize this kind of material?"

The lieutenant general glanced at Lin Xi and sighed, "They do dare." The assistance given to us by the dynasty will not arrive until two weeks later, and this batch of materials is considered to be supported by the Xu family itself, but it has been said a long time ago, but suddenly there is a change, and they have not given a reason. ”

Lin Xi said directly: "Is it related to Xu Zhanfeng?"

The lieutenant general sighed and said, "The Xu family didn't say it explicitly, and I won't think in this direction." Even if there is a reason for this, I will never let you suffer such a grievance. Marshal Lin has the grace of knowing me, I just don't want this official position, and I don't have anything. ”

Lin Xi asked: "In the eyes of the Xu family, I am really so important, I actually want to go to the point of destroying my reputation?"

Lu Qiyun laughed and said, "Don't underestimate yourself too much. We, the old men of Marshal Lin, are very optimistic about you, and in the last series of battles, your record is also amazing enough. In time, the Lin family will definitely have another marshal. Even we can see it, those old foxes of the Xu family don't know? With you, the Xu family will have a mainstay in the next few decades or even a hundred years. ”

Lin Xi shook his head, "I really didn't think I was so powerful." Even the battle just now was completely unplayed. ”

"That's just a city and a place. But when you judge that their target is the base of Fulan, that's really powerful. ”

got a compliment, but Lin Xi couldn't laugh.
