Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The emergence of aircraft extended the concept of "air force" to the state apparatus for the first time.

    In the eyes of many military observers and tacticians, the significance of mastering the sky is always greater than mastering the sea and land.  Especially when humans have not yet evolved wings and cannot fly at will like angels, the extremely hot steel and flames falling from the top of their heads are simply the most terrifying threat that cannot be matched by any material.

    ??Among the military expenditures allocated by the Federal Parliament, the United Space Fleet occupies the largest proportion of funds, fully 600% more than the Army.

    No one disputes this - the daily maintenance of warships and the training of operating personnel occupy the vast majority of the funds.  Of course, there is indeed a direct ratio between this kind of effort and reward.  Especially the latest "King" class heavy battleship, when activated at full power, the large-caliber directional particle cannon can completely penetrate some smaller planets.

    When human beings break through the comfort of the earth's gravity and fly freely in the universe, battleships naturally become the most relied upon darlings.  As for the Army, especially infantry in the traditional sense.  .  .  .  .  .  It is no longer possible for them to compare with the cold weapon era, and they will never be able to gain the glory that attracts everyone's attention.  Although individual weapons and protection systems are improving with each passing day, and powerful ceramic armor and electromagnetic rifles are increasingly being installed in troops, in terms of the importance of controlling the battlefield, it is impossible for land infantry to compare with battleships.  Their most important and basic role is to land in areas wielding carbon tomahawks and machine guns on the premise that the fleet controls the situation around the planet, and occupy areas that still have economic capabilities and can extract rich ores

    The giant mechanical clock standing high on the top of the building began to ring as usual with the first ray of sunshine on the horizon.  People came out of their respective homes and gathered in a busy stream on the street.  The loud honking of car horns reminds the world that has just woken up from its slumber, and the traffic jam that starts a new day.  Billions of mouths gasping for air, voices with different tones, once again became the only one to rule the world.

    "Federal Daily Mail", "Daily Planet", "Opinion Review", "Reference Focus".  .  .  .  .  .  Most of the front pages of newspapers are about the results of the new round of parliamentary elections.  The TV newscaster smiles and talks about the weather, the radio station plays the latest hit music, or an interview with a comeback artist.

    During breakfast time, the cafe was still full of customers.  Waiter and waitress in white uniform.  Busy in front of and behind the dining tables.  Omelets, herring hot dogs, ham burgers, different flavors of noodles.  .  .  .  .  .  The restaurant owner took the change from the customer with a smile on his face, and the sweet fragrance of cream filled the air. Especially the young people who never forget romance at this time will visit the flower shop at this time to pay tribute to what is going on.  To pursue, or the girl you like, buy a dozen expensive fresh roses.  Then let the courier deliver it to the other party as quickly as possible.

    The world still rotates according to a fixed trajectory.  People living in the middle and lower classes of society know nothing about the drastic changes taking place on the border fortress planet.  It's not that they are hindsight, nor that their audio-visual senses are degenerated and slow - when all sources of information are completely blocked by the authorities, even the most sharp-thinking wise men can only stay in the confined circle and become  Deaf and blind in a narrow sense

    Under Zhou Yiming¡¯s strong request, the capital star ¡°Light of Hope¡± was not under martial law.  He simply drew an additional armored infantry division from the garrison.  Strengthen the defenses around the Federation Army Headquarters.  But in the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, the difference is just that there are two soldiers guarding the checkpoint instead of one.  The interrogation of people entering and exiting the building is also more stringent.

    In the spacious combat command center, more than ten generals, including Zhou Yiming, were seated.  Six school officials with different ranks were busy in front of the giant electronic map, changing signs in different areas and delineating the latest occupied parts.

    "The plan is going very smoothly and has fully achieved the expected goals. As of two hours ago, we have taken back the command of eight ** fleets. The work of rectifying and maintaining order on the local fortress planet is also in progress."

    "The situation of hiding warships is far more serious than we thought. Fortunately, we moved faster than those guys. According to the numbers on the report, they hid nearly 600,000 battleships of different types. This is equivalent to one  The new fleet is also the addition we urgently need."

    "The first batch of appointed officials have arrived at each fortress planet. Within twenty-four hours, we will be able to obtain the most detailed data on local population, economy and resource reserves. Especially on Pluto d, the Federal Bank discovered more than 60,000 tons of gold.  This is an unexpected fortune"

    The hall was filled with a warm atmosphere, and everyone was infected.  Keep comingThe latest battle report has pushed the joy and excitement to the extreme.  With the excited reports of each staff officer, the beating speed of people's chests became stronger and stronger, and their faces were full of excitement.

    The previous Chief of Staff of the Federation, General Falcon, sat upright, watching the ever-changing triangular beacon on the electronic screen, and sighed with emotion: "I originally thought that these planets would never be able to be returned to the control of the Federation. At least, in my lifetime.  I couldn't see this day coming. I didn't expect that you would choose this time to implement the plan, and it went smoothly beyond imagination."

    "We have been planning this for twenty-two years."

    Next to him, another general in charge of the army's logistics supply nodded: "Many people have sacrificed their lives for this. They will never see the current scene, but they must know it and are eagerly looking forward to such a result."

    "Everyone! We should have a drink."

    At Zhou Yiming¡¯s initiative, a young staff officer took out a bottle of champagne that had been prepared, uncorked the bottle, and poured wine for everyone present in order.

    Admiral Falcon stood up first, holding a wine glass, and said in a sonorous tone: "For those who have died and those who are still alive."

    Another general also stood up: "For the ancestors who made the plan, they have been waiting for this for nearly a century."

    ¡°For the Federation, for democracy.¡± A colonel standing next to the electronic screen murmured, his eyes filled with tears.

    ¡°For the sake of our descendants, and for the sake of never having another rebellion in the Federation, no matter what history will say about us, we have a clear conscience¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    Zhou Yiming stated his declaration almost word for word, and then drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp

    The atmosphere of the parliament.  More serious than ever.

    Tens of thousands of seats were packed, and all members of god (United Industry National Party), kop (National United Democratic Front), fdc (Federal Camp), and other small and medium-sized parties gathered in this huge meeting that symbolized the significance of democracy.  hall.

    Six hours ago.  The military department informed the parliament of the counter-insurgency news and progress.  As if a boulder was dropped on a calm lake, the entire parliament was thrown into complete chaos.

    There was confusion, simply because lawmakers expressed shock.  Although there are inextricably linked relationships between the senators and the fortress planet, there are also many people who have business cooperation with various fleet commanders.  But in terms of original interests, the immigrant planet is the foundation of the parliament.  Especially under the premise that the military has achieved a decisive victory, Congress has no other option except relying on the powerful military group.

    No one took the initiative to disclose information to the media.  To do so is to ask for trouble - to cause confusion among the people.  It will only cause riots and unrest.  Even if there is a change of power, the major political parties will never agree with this approach, and the military will not let go of those with ulterior motives.

    Congressman Goldberg sat on a large special chair, frowning, and smacking a thick cigar hard.  Nervous emotions, coupled with hours of meditation and frequent discussions among peers.  .  .  .  .  .  All of them made his nerves tense to the extreme, and also had the unexpected effect of accelerating fat burning.  Especially from Senator Lord's perspective.  Goldberg's fat belly seemed to be much smaller than usual, but his bald forehead was still oily, greasy, and disgusting.

    "Everyone, I have only one suggestion - we should unite and abandon those useless stereotypes. Even enemies, even opponents who have had hatred for each other, must hold hands and deal with it together."

    Rhodes slowly stood up from God¡¯s seat and looked around.  He was very satisfied with the highly anticipated effect.  At this moment, in the eyes full of power and interest struggles, the word "politics" is obviously placed at the back, and "cooperation" is placed at the front.

    The spiral ladder serves as a sort.  Able to transmit sound to every listener's ears.  People started talking to each other, and many people were whispering.  Disdain, indifference, and mocking glances gathered from all directions - not everyone agreed with Rhodes' initiative. Even if they had the same views in their hearts, they would not show it openly due to party and power disputes.  .  It is even less likely that you will give up your position just because of a few words.

    ¡°Now is not the time for internal fighting, we must pool all our efforts¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    Congressman Rhodes's voice continued to echo in the hall: "We all know the contradiction between the Japanese fleet and the military, and we do not want rebels to appear in the Earth Federation. But no one can deny that this kind of military confrontation,  It does give democratic politics enough room to survive. We can win over or get closer to one of the parties to get more support. Now??, the balance has been broken, and the military, which has gained absolute power, will never be able to tolerate the parliament.  Gentlemen, we must cooperate and we must act now.  We don't have much time, and every word I say here is likely to reach the ears of those generals immediately.  They are unfit to lead the country; their mission is to defend the Union, not to participate in nation-building.  The economy is the most powerful force in our hands.  Banknotes and gold determine the target of the battleship's main gun.  .  .  .  .  .  I think I've made it clear enough.  god is willing to accept every partner.  From now on, in this venue, we no longer have enemies or opponents in our eyes.  Anyone who wants to be is our friend.  "

    After saying these words, Rhodes took a step forward and walked towards Goldberg who was directly opposite.

    This move was unexpected, and everyone's eyes were focused on him - the conflict between God and FDC could not be reconciled at all, especially Rhodes and Goldberg, the personal grudge between the two people  It is enough to rise to the level of life and death duel.

    They are all waiting and watching, wanting to see what Rhodes wants to do?  How will Goldberg respond?

    Looking at the figure getting closer and closer, Goldberg puffed on his cigar, and the fat on his face trembled.

    Rhodes¡¯ footsteps finally stopped more than half a meter away from Goldberg.  He looked down at the fat man who was looking up at him fiercely, and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to completely expel the chaotic thoughts in his mind.  After hesitating for nearly five seconds, Rhodes' body trembled and he bent one leg.  Kneel down in front of Goldberg, look directly at him, and say in the most sincere tone: "I, beg your forgiveness¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª"

    Suddenly.  The entire venue was in uproar.

    A young congressman's eyes widened with an incredible expression on his face: "This is impossible, that arrogant Rhodes, he He actually No, it must be  I saw it wrong, there must be something wrong with my eyes."

    Next to him, a gloomy and cold voice snorted softly: "What's impossible? It's just a bluff. If the situation calls for it. I believe that even if a piece of shit is placed in front of him, he can do it without hesitation.  Eat it. There is no other way, the current situation is like this, Rhodes was right, and he did nothing wrong. At this time, we can only stick together as a team and deal with the military together."

    "This guy is better than Terrence. His brain is very smart and his thinking is active enough. He speaks with great momentum. Most importantly he can let go of his shame and can play with dignity and shame as toys. If not  If there is any problem, he should be God¡¯s next party leader.¡±

    Discussion, conversation, all kinds of voices.  Turn the entire venue into a buzzing hive.  Goldberg stared blankly at Rhodes kneeling in front of him, his two eyes bulging from the sockets were rapidly becoming bloodshot and turned bright red.

    He really wanted to grab the crutch lying next to him and smash this guy's head with one stick.

    Of course he knew why his most beloved nephew died?  If possible, he wanted to use a knife to open Rhodes' chest, cut him into pieces, and crush him into pieces.

    Of course he knows how to be angry, and he also has his own feelings and pride.  His wisdom is better able to understand the obvious insults and provocations hidden under the surface of "cooperation" by Rhodes.  However, Goldberg never jumped up or made any hostile moves.  It's not that Rhodes carries some unspeakable pressure.  But Goldberg understands that now, especially in this situation, there is only one thing he can do.

    Everyone was watching Goldberg, watching him take a long drag on his cigar and throw away the butt.  He opened his hands to lift Rhodes up from the ground and held him tightly in his broad and plump arms.

    "You are right - we are all friends and brothers now. We must cooperate and deal with common goals."

    Although Goldberg is not good at words, at times like this, he must also speak words that fit the circumstances.

    I don¡¯t know who was the first to start applauding. The sparse applause quickly became intensive.  Finally, it completely evolved into thunder like a storm.

    Roode and Goldberg hugged each other like closest friends, with expressions of contentment and excitement on both their faces.  With a smile and the courage to move forward.

    No one noticed that their lips were trembling slightly, making extremely slight syllables.

    They were close enough to hear each other clearly.

    "Goldberg, one day, I will let you kneel down and lick the toes of my shoes with your tongue."

    "Rhode, you shameless bastard, when this matter is over, I will kill your whole family, cut off your genitals, and sell them to the border."??area to be a prostitute¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    The fringe, the eastern region.

    Meretskov sat on the soft sofa, staring blankly at the wooden table in front of him.

    Until now, he still can¡¯t believe that he has become a defector wanted by the federation.  You know, just a dozen hours ago, he was the supreme commander of the Federation's Third Fleet, with more than 600,000 warships under his command.  Everyone who sees him will behave like a dog.

    "No it shouldn't be like this, I don't believe it I don't believe it¡ª¡ª"

    He murmured, stood up suddenly, and walked quickly to the hatch. Just when he was about to reach out and press the electronic opening button, Meretskov suddenly saw himself in the reflection of the metal door wall.

    It was an old man with a frightened face and disheveled hair.

    Meretskov, who just celebrated his 63rd birthday two weeks ago, never feels old.  In fact, advances in scientific and technological power have greatly increased human life span.  According to Earth age calculations, he should be in his prime.

    Meretskov once thought about leaving the Federal Government.  He wanted more power.  General is the highest military rank a federal soldier can currently obtain.  But he felt that it was not enough. At least, he should be a king with a crown full of gold.  .  .  .  .  .

    ¡°Ding dong¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    The electronic intercom on his wrist suddenly turned on, and the panic-stricken officer on duty interrupted Meretskov's wonderful fantasy.

    "General, a fleet appeared 20,000 kilometers ahead, and we were blocked¡ª¡ª"
