Chapter 132: Surrender
Jean's fleet arrived as promised, heading for Axis. Without suspecting any problems, they moored the battleship to the corresponding position in Axis under the guidance of Martin.
After that, large and small transport boats set off from the stopped fleet, and shipwowed the exhausted civilians carried on board the battleship to be resettled in Axis. Although there are no fully constructed residential areas on Axis, for civilians who have been oppressed in a cramped place like a battleship for more than four months, it is the most important thing to reach a more empty place and let them rest on their feet.
And after the unloading of these passengers, the replenishment of the battleship itself also needs to be carried out.
In fact, the remnants of Jean's army that arrived at Axis were in a state of supply starvation. What they lacked was not food or ammunition, but fuel for their warships, which were commonly powered by nuclear furnace engines, a substance that consumes very little but produces a lot of energy, and they don't need to be replenished frequently.
However, in the end, it still needs to be added.
After such a long high-speed voyage, the fleet's fuel did reach a low point. The remaining fuel, though not to the point where they could not move, was lowered to a safe limit. The remaining fuel did not seem to be enough for them to fight a low-intensity campaign.
"This will not work, and for the sake of Jean's revival, we must be vigilant no matter what. I know there are no enemies here, but the necessary preparations still have to be made. Mahalaga Kahn, the de facto leader of this wave of fugitives, said.
He was a middle-aged man with brown-red hair and a beard, a close confidant of Prince Jean, with the rank of rear admiral, and a military and political talent who could manage the huge fleet very clearly. Because his daughter is Dezru Zabi's concubine, and the only remaining Zabi family is of Dezru's bloodline, he is considered Mineva Zabi's guardian and is responsible for taking care of Senna's mother and daughter (Dozru's wife and daughter).
The big guys said so, and the small soldiers below could only accept their fate. For them, the rest after arriving in Axis was just an empty talk, in fact arriving in Axis was the beginning of their busyness.
There was no fighting, but there were a lot of things.
Things unfold one by one, but you can never see the end of stopping.
People are busy. Fortunately, Maharaga and Martin worked well with each other, and the work was able to deepen quickly.
However, at this moment, the alarm of Axis sounded violently.
Maharaga and Martin, who were still on the construction site, rushed to the headquarters to inquire about the situation, and received the news that there was indeed a trace of the Federation fleet about fifty kilometers directly in front of Axis.
"How could the Federation's fleet suddenly appear here?" Maharaja looked at Martin suspiciously, and he found that Martin's face was wooden.
"Could it be ......," his heart pounded.
"Martin, you surrendered to the Federation?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I don't want to fight anymore. Martin bowed his head.
"You ......" Maharaja wanted to reprimand Martin, but opened his mouth but said nothing.
It's not that he's out of words, it's that the situation is rapidly deteriorating and there is no time for him to curse anymore - almost at the same time as the Federation fleet appeared, Jim and soldiers from the Federation Army also appeared in the Axis Fortress.
Naturally, the pilot of Jim is a pilot of the Federation, and the Federation soldier who appears is the T-1000 produced by Yuan Hao. Dressed as Union soldiers, they took advantage of the favorable terrain to directly surround the people of Jean in Aksisri.
It had been less than a few hours since the fugitives had set foot on the land of Axis with their families and mouths when they suddenly encountered such a situation, and their whole heads were a little cloudy.
In fact, this is not only the case for the common people, but also for the nearly 10,000 soldiers who have just entered Axis.
They did not expect that they would encounter the enemy here, and all preparations were not completed. Even the MS, which is called combat power, is parked on their respective ships.
Under Jim's guns, they had absolutely no room to resist.
Axis' bloody jaw opened wide and he quickly took control of the situation.
That's what it means in a fortress, and it's the same outside a fortress. The sudden approach of the Federation fleet caused the remnants of Jean to panic as they were resupplying. They want to rearm themselves for battle, only to find that it takes at least ten minutes for their ship's nuclear furnace to go from supply to operational.
And these ten minutes are enough for the Federation to kill them.
"This is the Eighteenth Task Force of the Earth Federation Space Force—solemnly telegraphing to the remnants of Jean's army, you have been surrounded by us. Please surrender as soon as possible, or our army will attack you and others in five minutes. The Federation's fleet quickly approached, and when the distance between the two sides was shortened to 10,000 meters, Yuan Hao asked Yang Xue to issue a long-recorded proclamation to surrender.
"Axis has fallen into our control, you don't expect Axis to support you!" Yuan Hao also told the truth.
"How is it possible?" Axis behind him...... "Listening to the persuasion of the whole fleet to surrender, the people who are still on the battleship instinctively do not believe it.
"How is this possible! Federation shit!" the gruff soldiers scolded.
But they didn't know that the officers left behind on their bridges had cold and heavy faces.
"Haven't you been in touch with the Left-behind Command yet?" the officer on the bridge frowned.
"No!" CIC bowed his head weakly.
"Is the fortress really ......?" the bad feeling in the officer's heart became more and more intense.
"Intensify contact with Aksis, and at the same time speed up the activation of the warship with urgent procedures. "Similar orders sounded on every battleship.
In the face of the persuasion of the Union army to surrender, they did not think of surrendering.
If they were to surrender, they could have done so back in the days of Abba Wakku.
But they didn't......
This shows that most of them have feelings for Jean's flag.
"Bridge...... We're going to attack, please open the hatch......" Just as they were trying, a communication from Gnaku interrupted their depression.
"The battleship has not yet been launched...... At this time, the officer on the bridge was a little stunned ...... attack.
"You launch your warships, and we dispatch our MS...... Jean Glory does not allow defilement. We'll buy you time. Gnaku's pilot shouted.
"Alright!" the officer on the bridge agreed to their request.
The gnaku hatches of more than a dozen battleships opened, and organisms tried to get out of them.
But at the moment when their bodies just touched space, a bright red beam of light came from a distance, and instantly exploded the Jean MS who was about to attack.
"It's a blocking type...... More than 120 distances, no less than 30 ......," the CIC non-commissioned officer shouted in horror.
Their pale faces illuminated by the staggered light, and then the explosion that arose made their self-confidence shattered.
More than a dozen MSs were blown up in an instant, which proves that the Federation's control over this domain is not rough and rough, but as tight as a net.
"Damn...... Didn't you say that the attack would be launched in five minutes? Why do you ...... now?" the officer was annoyed, and instinctively wanted to scold the federal side for not being trustworthy.
But the person on the other side seemed to have expected it, and directly explained the matter: "Once again, I tell the Jean army not to have any resistance." Thirty of our sniper jims are aiming at you. In addition, the area around Axis was already covered with automatic batteries, and the attack was only a warning. If you continue to prepare to resist, we will inflict the most severe blows on you with artillery fire and meteorite bombs. ”
"Damn it......" the man who tried to resist cursed.
The action that was still going to be carried out suddenly stopped. For them, resistance is fine, but it cannot be unscrupulous resistance. If they wanted to die in battle, they wouldn't have come here.
"Don't act rashly......" Dissatisfied, they suddenly stopped what they were doing.
"What now?"
"Do you want to surrender?"
"Don't be stupid, if we were to surrender, we would have surrendered a long time ago......"
"But, their side...... We're in a terrible situation right now. ”
"It's pretty bad. But do you really think they're holding us tight?"
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe they're blackmailing us. Talk to them and stall for time. ”
......
The radio waves swirled from ship to battleship, and the passionate and self-intelligent officers quickly came to an agreement.
They elected a colonel of about forty years old to negotiate with the Federation.
"I am Colonel Helbert von Casborne, whom they have chosen to negotiate with you...... I wonder what kind of treatment you can give us if we surrender?" asked Casben in a deep voice.
"What treatment do you want?" Yuan Hao's smiling figure appeared on the screen of the communication: "I am Brigadier General Yuan Hao, the commander of this crusade...... Colonel, what do you want to get? Do you still want to negotiate terms with us?"
"Our fleet is not without the ability to resist. Casbon said stiffly.
"Yes, you MS can still attack. Your ships will be ready for battle in a matter of minutes...... Indeed, you can still fight. But I've made the arrangements, and I'm going to do it to you when the time comes! Don't doubt our strength, we can do it. Yuan Hao's words were faint, but the resoluteness in them was affirmative, and he did not give the remnants of Jean any chance to delay time.
"Axis, we took it a month ago. Then, we laid it out here...... In a month, you know how many things we can make. Yuan Hao uncovered the true face of this trap.
"You ......" Casborne's face changed suddenly.
Thanks to the extensive use of the MS in the Department of Engineering, it has become easy for people to make some kind of architectural improvements, such as the missiles and turrets that caused headaches for the Federation in the Cosmic Fortress Abba Waku, which were only the work of Jean after the end of the Battle of Solomon.
From the Battle of Solomon to the Battle of Abba Waqul...... The interval was only a mere six days.
The fact that it was difficult for the Federation to complete so many fortifications in six days shows the strength of Jean's engineers.
Jean's sappers are as strong as they are, and the Federation's sappers are not bad. While they can't wield as much manpower as Jean at the current size of the Federation fleet, they have more time and fewer enemies to deal with.
“...... If the Confederation had taken it a month earlier, it would ...... Casben couldn't imagine that. Because that means it's an absolute place of death.
"This ...... He's not trying to coax me!" Casben skeptical, making a decision before he could make a decision.
At this time, he suddenly heard the young brigadier general on the other side of the screen say lightly: "It's time!"
"What?" Casben startled.
He wanted to say something, but he saw that the space beyond the bridge suddenly lit up: dozens of rays of light shot out from a certain point in the darkness, weaving into a web and easily bursting several musses on the periphery of the array from different angles.
The balls of light formed by the explosion of the battleship illuminate the bridges of the fleet. In the slanted light, everyone's faces were pale and pale.
"This is just the first wave......
You still have six minutes to activate the fleet, and my side is attacking with a salvo every ten seconds......
Before you start the fleet, I can fire thirty-six rounds in a salvo! How many of your warships can you kill in six minutes with my dozens of batteries? Surrender! If you don't surrender, you will only die!" Yuan Hao's words were still faint, but everyone felt the piercing ice under his indifferent words.
If you don't surrender, you can only die!
This is not a scare, but the real truth.
If you want to say that Yuan Hao's actions are to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
In short, after the loss of six Musai on Jean's side, everyone was really frightened by Yuan Hao's ruthlessness.
"Can you give me a little more time? I need to talk to them...... After all, I can't do this. Casbourne smiled wryly. He said it very hard. If it were him, he would have ignored the three-seven-two-one rush to make a decisive charge, but he couldn't do it now, because he was carrying everyone's lives.
You can decide your own life, but you can't decide someone else's life.
With such a measure, Casbourne can still grasp it.
"One minute!" Yuan Hao's voice was still faint, with a hardness that could not be refused: "I'll only give you one minute." It's either life or death! Anyway, killing you now isn't killing prisoners!"
"This ...... Really!" Casbourne bowed his head bitterly. He clenched his fists, and the muscles in his hands bulged. He wanted to be angry and willful, but when he thought that the result of his willfulness would be to let so many people accompany him to die, he finally took a deep breath and prepared to endure it.
The communication sent by Yuan Hao was always addressed to everyone in the fleet. Therefore, everyone knows Yuan Hao's request, which saves Casbour's story.
"How's that...... What do you think? But the other person does what he says...... I don't talk about it at all. Casben said with a wry smile.
"That ......" Many people still can't make a decision. Even at such a life-and-death juncture, they still hesitated.
"Surrender. We can't support it anymore. Resistance can only be death......" said a weak voice in the correspondence.
This person's words were very low, and there was a feeling of deliberate suppression, and everyone couldn't tell who this person was at once. They only felt that this man's words spoke more or less of their thoughts.
So, after this person put forward his own opinion, some people recognized such ideas one after another. For a while, the statement of surrender became the mainstream of the channel.
"Alas...... The tide is over!"
