Chapter 59 The Uncovered Figurines
Just as Bit's advance attack fleet crossed the civilian jump points at high speed and headed towards New South Star, Lieutenant General Charlotte Fate, the commander of the Fifth Fleet in Milan, was leading the main force of the fleet, one hundred light years away from the advance fleet, and six jump points one after another. The speed of the main force of the Fifth Fleet naturally could not be comparable to that of Bit's advance fleet carrying the Sword Mecha regiment. In order to avoid alarming the people, they also used military space channels. However, it only took two days to pass through these jump points while sailing with all their might.
The incident of the New South Star broke out to sensation at the first time. The Fifth Fleet stationed in the Milan Star Zone. The entire Fifth Fleet received call information from the Ministry of Defense, the Head of the King and other parties almost at the same time. These intensive information can be summarized into an instruction in general - that is, the Fifth Fleet quickly assembled to the New South Star in the border of the empire.
The instructions and pressures from the top leaders of the empire were also the reason why the Fifth Fleet instantly gathered a sword mecha formation and a bit attack ship as a secret operation force to send high-speed assistance to enter New South Star.
Lieutenant General Charlotte Fate knew very well that the five major fleets of the Empire represent the five most powerful swords under the starry sky of the Great Eagle Empire. Now the sword points to the border of the New South Star, which is the situation of war.
The imperial military has always had a hidden rule. The five major fleets stationed in the five major star zones and were responsible for the security of the universe and territory of their respective star zones. Once any team gathered and dispatched, this is the empire's deterrence and pressure on the enemy country or a certain force and entered a state of alert.
Using two fleets means that the empire is officially ready to start a war, and the empire has entered the first level of combat readiness. It means that the giant Eagle Empire, a behemoth, is officially ready to strike against its opponents, just like a boxer, who has set up an attack posture and is ready to punch at any time.
Three fleets came out together and two fleets defended the national gates, which meant the arrival of a head-on decisive battle. The empire rarely used four fleets unless it was a situation of dying.
Now that one of them is dispatched to sail on the way to New South Star, Lieutenant General Charlotte is very clear that this means that the empire is launching a warning to the starry sky. Is it that the war that has been silent for hundreds of years about to begin? The entire human society alliance, which has been in peace for thousands of years, will tear the hypocritical face and show its hideous face?
The interstellar quantum communication phone number came in again, interrupting Lieutenant General Charlotte's imagination. When he answered it, the person opposite the holographic image made him look solemn.
"The navigation information of the Fifth Fleet will be directly transmitted to the strategic center of the Ministry of Defense every hour. We will arrive at New South Star in two days. If the Ministry of Defense authorization is approved by us, we will launch a strike against the other party."
Charlotte knew that any promises he made and any orders he had executed, whether right or wrong, would be recorded in history forever. He had the excitement of opening up history, and the tension and even guilt that he seemed to open Pandora's box. Because once the situation unfolded, they would never know what fate they were about to face and what direction the entire Eagle Empire would go.
But it seems that there are always some things in history that seem to be able to change afterwards, but in fact, nothing can be changed under the circumstances of snobbery. It is like there is a giant hand of the Creator invisibly pushing all this into an irresistible situation for mortals.
The so-called objective facts of materialism are not transferred by human will, and are roughly like this. Whether it is the change of power, the progress of the times, or the war, from the perspective of later scholars and historians, they all have amazing similarities, all of which are like countless chances tilting towards a certain direction, forming the inevitable ending, which erupts due to a certain inducement.
Now, is this trigger coming soon?
"The king told me to call me and told me not to have any concerns. Once the inevitable result comes out, he will stand up as soon as possible." Charlotte's solemn voice slowly resounded on the command seat. "Information shows that in addition to the Wasky destroyer, the New South Star Ring Public Space is two Fearless Class Anti-Submarine Reconnaissance Shipments. These two reconnaissance ships provide all-round technical support for the Wasky destroyer. The destroyer has a fig leaf, and these two Fearless Class Reconnaissance Shipments are marked with the imprint of Xipon. Once annihilated, there is no possibility of turning back."
"The Head of State personally calls you, this is a statement. In such a short time, we cannot make a decision through Congress, and this matter cannot pass the normal procedures of Congress... At least the king's call is believed to have reached a consensus with the Prime Minister... But my instructions are very clear. The transfer order of the Fifth Fleet was issued from me. You should try to maintain a deterrent posture and try to wait until the Sword Mecha Corps operation failed... and then take action."
Lieutenant General Charlotte nodded and looked at the middle-aged man on the other end of the holographic image. This was just a very ordinary man with a little bent eyebrows, a little small eyes, and even a high nose. He did not have the cool appearance of the generals who had been tempered by the generals, but everyone knew what kind of terrible power he was carrying on the man's back. What kind of whale waves would be stirred up in his actions and words that he could guide at any time. His appearance was indeed like an ordinary middle-aged man who could never be found in the sea of billions of people in the empire.
"...The New South Star is full of thieves, bandits, gangsters and air thieves. Mr. Minister, once your daughter has any news, I have instructed the Sword Mecha regiment to rescue it, which is the second target mission..."
Charlotte said this, but was interrupted by the other party. There was no ripples on the face of the middle-aged man, and he said lightly, "Lieutenant General Charlotte, I hope you still know your responsibilities as an imperial general. Your purpose is to execute military orders, rather than having a soft heart like a woman. The Sword Mecha Regiment is the king's direct special forces. Their mission this time is of great importance. It should not be any mistakes for me personally. The consequences that will be caused to the empire and the people are not something you and I can bear."
"...But ensuring your daughter's safety is also a requirement of others, and it is in the interests of the empire."
The man laughed, "When did some people think that the safety of my daughter is more important than my biological father in their hearts? When did my daughter's safety be linked to the interests of the empire? Some people should not be too arrogant."
Lieutenant General Charlotte was a little terrified and frightened to speculate on the man on the other end of the holographic photography. The words "Don't look at yourself very high" contained gunpowder. Who are the people in this empire targeting? Some people who are active in the First Fleet, or the big figures in the big family who are in power behind them?
What does this mean? The contradiction between the Imperial Majority Party and the Minority is becoming increasingly concentrated and bursting out?
"Cancel the second target mission, the Sword Mecha regiment must do its best to carry out this battle, so that they know that once they fail to successfully rescue that person, there will be countless lives behind them to pay for their failure. Once the Fifth Fleet launches a strike, the situation will inevitably go into the abyss."
Facing the instructions of the five-star general Charlotte, Lieutenant General Charlotte responded solemnly, "understand"
The Fifth Fleet is a huge scale in space. The warships were traveling in the millions of kilometers of space at the third cruise speed, preparing to enter the gap in the transition passage. Another deputy commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Wang Qinian, finally could not suppress his inner anxiety and said to Charlotte, "I have been holding it in my arms with the Sipon Empire for too long. Why don't we fight a battle with each other happily? Could it be that the civilian heroes of the House of Commons and the nobles of the House of Lords who are in charge of the parliament have been corrupted.
Extremely, I was so scared that I saw the war coming like a sissy? A hundred years ago, the suffering caused by the Xipang Empire to our Great Eagle Empire is still difficult to erase. Most of the Tata Star Zone is still in a barren state. The continuous shanty towns, planetary ruins, and hundreds of millions of casualties have long been imprinted in the hearts of many ordinary imperial civilians. Now the Xipang Empire is ready to move again. If they want to be the lackeys of the Warsaw Alliance, we don’t mind teaching them a lesson"
"The situation in the highest parliament of mankind is unclear, and the Warsaw Alliance naturally dare not act rashly. Although the Xipang Empire has some ambitions in recent years, they are also well aware of the consequences of the war. Once they fall into the war of the Great Eagle Empire, they will inevitably find it difficult to escape, and they may not get any benefits, and even the whole country will be dragged down. In this case, both sides naturally have to curb the situation of war. For example, in the current situation, two fearless-class intelligence ships cover the chief of the Gasky destroyer's journey.
We are rushing to the border of our empire and using all kinds of disguises, just to catch the spy... And this spy is related to national security information, so we naturally have to take it back at all costs. But if the warships of the Sipon Empire invade the border and are known by the people of the empire, what a horrible incident this would be. Once exposed, under the high-pressure protests of the people, a war will inevitably be... So this matter must be controlled within a range we can control."
Wang Qinian sighed, "Politics is the fig leaf for the country and the big shots, and this sentence is indeed true."
Charlotte's eyes condensed like water and a flat lake, and said in a terrible quiet manner, "Sipon and we all know the reason why both sides cannot start the battle lightly... So they dare not show up directly, only dare to disguise themselves as those gophers-like air thieves in the universe. And we cannot attack openly. The Sword Mecha regiment and elite attack ships are ahead, and the purpose is to concentrate the elites at the fastest speed and snatch our people from the opponent's elite special forces..."
